You Live Under An Open Heaven

Hello, brothers, sisters, and Heartdweller family.
We arrived in Uganda—and my, what a beautiful country! The first day, we went to a prayer session and the following evening we were invited to lead a marriage fellowship group. I gave them the topic before I arrived—that we would speak about spiritual warfare in marriage. All day I was asking the Holy Spirit to please help me with what to say. The evening went well. One lady, an elder of the group, shared her struggles, in tears, as she said that our testimony really helped her. However, they were an Anglican group and a bit reserved. I wondered if I had gone too deep or if I said the right things.
That evening I was wondering why the Lord had brought us here to this prayer camp. What it was that He had in store? What to expect? We came out of obedience.
So in the morning, after receiving the Lord during my Lord’s Supper. I came before Him saying,
Good morning Lord, I want to say thank You, Jesus, for all you have done—I want to say thank You, Jesus, for all you’ve done. Thank you, thank you so much for your faithfulness.
As an aside, during worship, the Lord played the song, “Thank You, Jesus”, about twice in a row. It just reminded me of His faithfulness. Truly, how far He’s brought me—from six years ago, being in my prayer closet to now, being a part of Heartdwellers ministries, and seeing the promises of God fulfilled in my life; the answered prayer, and now in Uganda to meet Pastor James—and wondering, what does God have in store for us? He’s been so faithful, and I don’t ever thank Him enough or as I should.
I asked, Jesus, what’s on Your heart?
Jesus began,
“I am proud of you, My beloved little one. There is no need to keep going back to the events of last night and if you could have done better, or said things differently. My Holy Spirit moved through you, just as you asked. What needed to be said,was said—it was enough. More were touched than you know. My words are seeds, and when fallen on good soil, will bear fruit, some 60 to 100 fold.
Matthew 13:23
The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and it produces a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”
“That is the way of ministry. Never measure your progress by the reaction or even the response of the people. Always leave everything in the hands of the Holy Spirit. He moves in ways you do not see—and it’s your job to make yourself available—to be an instrument—a tool that I use. It’s My job to yield the results. So once and for all let go, Beloved, of these thoughts and thinking. It will continue to plague you in ministry as it has. You are coming into a season of greater public ministry, Beloved. Remember, however, to always desire My Eucharistic presence—the silence, and hidden life more than anything else. When you are called upon to speak as you were last night, I will give you the words to speak. No need to muse over it or even prepare. Sit before Me in adoration continuously. I will always infuse My wisdom and revelations to you, Beloved. Be for Me a good and faithful spouse—and when you are called to speak on behalf of your King, you will sound like Me because we are one.
“I wanted to encourage you today, in the group, with all My brides—that all of you will begin to walk more in a public display of My presence and My power. That is why I played that song for you this morning. The young lady who spoke these words to you at the church is a dear soul but was a bit misguided in what she gave you.“
As an aside family, the first day we got there we went to their morning prayer session. As we were praying in a circle a young lady from Pastor James Kawalya’s church came up to us and said she had a word and asked if I would give her the freedom to speak. In humility, I said sure, because the Lord can use anyone. She said that when we prayed she saw the ground shaking, and that our prayers are powerful however we haven’t gone into higher realms yet of prayer. We are praying but the heavens are closed and the enemy can retaliate against us. She saw one of the intercessor’s sons getting sick and that Father Derrick would lose his job if we didn’t pray into the higher realms.“ I thought, um okay. So we said, thank you, and amongst ourselves, made it clear that it’s God’s job to take us higher. We can’t reach for something He hasn’t taken us to. So I left it.
However I kept musing over what she said and it didn’t sit well with me because prophetic words are always for edification, extortion, and encouragement. Even if there is a caution or warning there are instructions of encouragement to tell you how to overcome and she just kind of left us hanging. And, by the way, she didn’t work at the church. She was just praying as well. I realized I didn’t have peace with her words. I ended up speaking with one of the intercessors on the trip and she too felt the same way.
Jesus continued,
“My Heartdwellers, My brides—you continually live under an open heaven. There is no further realm to achieve than that of My heart. Those are for the ones who are reaching. But I have taught you—rather than reach, to go lower. It is your lowliness that brings Me down to you. It’s your lowliness that is your greatest dignity before God and man. Continue to see yourselves as little nothings and nobodies and more of My power and manifestation of My Spirit will be given to you. Indeed the blind will see, the lame will walk and those mute will speak, the dead will be raised so many will come to believe in My resurrection power.”
As an aside, during worship, he kept playing the song called “Thank you Jesus”. Holy Spirit played it twice and I knew I had to thank Him—that something was happening as I was here—something was happening now—it was happening for me also in the future. Jesus has been so faithful, remembering how far He has brought me. To be in my prayer closet seeking His face for hours 7 years ago, wanting to hear His voice, and now I do—all the promises he said, and how I am living some of them out now— and now being here by His provision and providence, all I could say was truly thank You! I don’t thank him enough at all as I should. The Holy Spirit played another song “Called Open Heaven”. The chorus says, “The blind will see, and the lame will dance, the mute will speak the dead will live again”. Man, it had me so stirred because I desire to see this with all of my heart here on earth that many will come to see the power of God and know His love.
Jesus continued
“This week’s time for the prayer camp, avail yourself, because greater anointing will be given to all of you to walk in this grace so easily and readily. Not because of what you have done, but because I desire to touch souls—I desire to manifest My love, and now is the time. You guys are My lovers and I have trained you to act in a place of love, not showmanship nor to gain praise for yourself, but that all glory would be given to Me. I do want you to bring your laptop to the prayer camp each day. There I will speak to you and give you much revelation and counsel. Tell the others to bring a notebook and pen. You all will learn much and I will give you the grace to hear much. Do not discount what you see or hear. You were right to say those in David’s time who stayed behind when David and his men went to war were also given a reward.
And here I was thinking about the intercessory group. There are a few of us who have come and many who have stayed behind—all of those in Heartdwellers Africa Group. I thought of them too, thinking, Lord, whatever you give us—whatever graces, anointings, Lord, I just pray that they will receive the exact same thing. So, 1 Samuel 30:24 came to my mind.
1 Samuel 30:24
Who will listen to what you say? The share of the man who stayed with the supplies is to be the same as that of him who went down to the battle. All will share alike.”
“So, My beloved Heartdwellers, you will not lack or miss out on these graces and anointings either. But you must avail yourself. Don’t give up trying to seek Me, and Hear from Me. I will bless the time that you guys have here and it not be the last time you will come. You will return back at a later time.”
That was the end of Jesus’ message.
This is now our third day and it has been electric!! We have learned so much and been delivered from much. I look forward to sharing with you guys on the channel soon.
And please, family, continue to remember us. Our donations are low again coming towards the end of the month. We still have a few families and ministries that we need to support to give them their donations. Also, remember us for the second phase of the City of God project. We received a good amount of donations that will at least start us to clear the land. We are now needing donations to farm. So please, please remember us. Give to the GoFundMe link below in the description or give through PayPal so we can bless these ministries, missionaries, and the souls whom we support every month.
God Bless you, family, until the next message
