Hi everyone,
The below as an email I received from a very prophetic member on our local body. She is a wonderful minister, and a profoundly insightful person. I hope it blesses you as it blessed me.
His best to you!

Hi Pastor Hank & Natasja J
Here’s what I wrote in my journal this morning……..
This morning I was praying in the overflow from last night’s impartation when I woke up. I was led to pray “hook me up to your automatic feeder Lord.” I saw in my mind’s eye a lineup like at a dairy farm, all the cows on the automatic feeder and the feed coming down automatically at the allotted time. I am hooked up to automatic provision- the switch is turned “on”; provision for finances and spiritual food. I am there in God’s lineup, amen. It struck me as I was typing this that cows give milk…..there is a flip side to God’s provision to my life- I must give the milk of His word.
Last night during worship I saw us the people as keyholes in the spirit. God reached His hand in like in Song of Solomon to unlock the door. The keyhole was in our solar plexus and very ethereal looking, like the prophetic art of stairway to heaven. Anyway, he reached in, if we would allow, and unlocked us- we were the door. Instead of us being a finite space or room into which He then came, (like into our heart or something, which is what I expected I’d see next), the door was just a gateway to a vast expanse of His Glory. We, as doors, were the door to a realm of His domain, a portion of His realm that is assigned to each of us as sons and daughters to have domain in/over; territorial inheritance which is ours now.
It grew very large, and very brilliant in Him. So by allowing Him to reach into the keyhole in our spirit and open the door which is our will in the spirit (hmmmmm), we open up not only ourselves to Him, but also the domain He has assigned to each of us- which is a very large sphere of influence. So if we allow Him to open us, He opens not only us but then He magnifies our obedience to include our sphere and invades that too. So it’s not just us and Him (it’s not about us) its about us, Him, His realm and our realm which is an allotted portion from Him. Our portion’s size depends on our willingness, obedience and stewardship.
I thought of the reach of the light of His glory being like your front door in the morning if it was facing east into the rising sun. Now the door being shut would mean it would be dark on your side inside: whether the sun was shining on it out front or no, until you open the door you will not see or feel that bright morning sun. But then you open the door; then you are immersed in the light…..not only to the place where you are standing but it extends past you as well…… because it’s not about me, it’s about the light; it’s about being a door and opening to the light, letting the light come in you and through you to saturate the realm all around you and on the other side of you. That is our job – to open our door and let the light in, let His Glory in. I literally saw us each standing at our door and opening it and being engulfed by His light. You know when a light that big happens you disappear; the light overwhelms you, overtakes you.
Later I was reviewing this morning’s thoughts and went back to do a word-study on ‘door’. I settled on
Mat 27:60 - And2532 laid5087 it846 (his body )in1722 his own848 new2537 tomb,3419 which3739 he had hewn out2998 in1722 the3588 rock:4073 and2532 he rolled4351 a great3173 stone3037 to the3588 door2374 of the3588 sepulcher,3419 and departed.565
Sepulcher: G3419 mnay-mi'-on
From G3420; a remembrance, that is, cenotaph (place of interment): - grave, sepulchre, tomb.
I was caught by the word sepulcher more than the word ‘door’. Remembrance being a tomb brought me to the Last supper where Jesus said do this in remembrance of me. I thought of “this” being the bread, His body; and the “in remembrance” being the tomb. My remembrance tool is my mind; so I acknowledged my mind being the tomb, or holding place. So I put my hands on either side of my head and saw myself inside the mind/tomb holding up a piece of communion bread . I sat there and let that sink in for a moment. Then I saw my mind/tomb become filled with resurrection light and power, the light invaded the darkness, Jesus raised up from the dead and my thought life went with Him. Resurrection power invaded every last thought, every memory, every hope every dream…………..all of my complete, total thought life was resurrected into new life thinking.
It also felt like anything that was in the vicinity of that resurrection power was going to be taken. I prayed immediately for things in my sphere; family, friends, Shiloh, things, issues, etc……everything He’s put on my heart to pray about that I could think of. I placed them in the tomb of remembrance and “had communion”, and BOOM, they were caught up!
So I’m still digesting but wanted to pass that along and say thanks for imparting life J Hallelujah!
