Elevation into New Levels of God’s Glory

     In my last post I talked about the powerful movement in God’s Kingdom in response to the turbulence in the earth, and how the Lord is moving ‘Rapid Response Teams’ into position for the great outpouring of His glory. These are those believers who are holding nothing back, but are embracing the fear of the Lord and pressing deeper into the intimate place of God’s Love to worship before Him in spirit and truth. I heard the Lord say, “These are those I am activating through Acceleration, Elevation, and Revelation”. He then gave me a vision for each of those words. We looked at ‘Acceleration’ last time (see Time of Acceleration), now I want to continue with what the Lord is showing regarding ‘Elevation’.

Elevation

    God is accelerating His work within us, taking us to new levels in the experience of His Glory.

    The Lord showed me a large, open meadow surrounded by a magnificent forest of ancient trees that rose to towering heights. In the center was what looked like an elevator that was made out of what looked like crystal clear glass. Above the doors was a golden sign that read, “Express”. The doors were open and as I stepped inside I saw, on the wall beside the doors a single button. Underneath a golden sign that read, “Pinnacle of Worship”.

     An elevator is an access way to different levels of a building. The elevator in my vision is a ‘portal’, or access way to different levels in the spiritual realm of God.
     Scripture is filled with references to such access ways from Jacob’s vision of the “gate of heaven” (Genesis 28:12-17) to John’s vision of the “door standing open in heaven” (Revelation 4:1). God consistently shows us His desire that we enter into a deeper experience of His Kingdom and that there are very clear ways of access—doors, portals, gates, and the like which are revelations of such access points.
     Let me clarify something. I am writing to those who have been washed in the Blood of the Lamb, who have entered the Kingdom through His blood and now have the right of access to the eternal realm of God and His glory. As Jesus said, “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” (John 10:9)

     That said,  it’s very important that we let go of the idea that any of this revelation of ‘elevation’ is directional. There’s a deeply entrenched mindset that God is ‘up in heaven’. That by going to ‘new levels’ we are being taken ‘up’ in a directional sense. We must come to a clear knowing that God does not come down to us from some place far away; nor does He invite us to come up from here to His far away place called Heaven, way off in the universe. This is vital because such a mindset affects any experience with God.
     When Holy Spirit speaks of “Elevation” He is talking about levels of intimacy. These levels are the ever deepening and expanding experience of God’s Presence and Glory. Think of these levels as ‘chambers’ or ‘realms’ of God’s Glory. The elevation by the Spirit is the opening of these chambers, or realms.  As the church presses into the Presence of the One who is here in all His glory we will be taken to whole new realms of worship, entering chambers of glorious praise which Holy Spirit is opening to us. This is the Elevation into New Levels of God’s Glory.
     Rapid Response requires not only accelerated provision; but, new patterns, new expressions, new sounds, new songs awakened and released into the church. Worship always goes before the Lord. Worship and praise is the first thing heard by the enemy and strikes terror in the heart of wickedness. It breaks the chains that bind us to the spirit of infirmity and shatters the control of the spirit of religion in every area of life. Unfortunately, much of the worship in the church is performance driven and not Presence empowered. Ray Hughes put it this way, “Looking for the glory of God we give ourselves permission to sensationalize the superficial instead of living in the supernatural.” He goes on to say, “Gone are the days of the superficial born out of emotionalism of a church service.” (Journey of Worship)
     I agree. The worship of Rapid Response is NEW SONG. Old ways, methods, patterns, expressions won’t work. Again and again, we are called to “Sing to the Lord a new song”. The elevation work of Holy Spirit is to bring us to that place. We are being elevated to the ‘Pinnacle of Worship’, the place of worship before the Throne of God. This is so much a part of God’s heart that He has made this an ‘Express’ elevation. He is removing the distractions and the many paths that pull us away from our true destiny. Just like an express elevator that bypasses all other floors to speed to the correct floor, so too is God accelerating the elevating to get us to our rightful place before Him.
     The Lord says, “I am taking you higher. I am bringing you before My Throne where your song and My Song become one. You shall see and hear, taste, smell, touch Glory Worship and you shall become one with the Glory, radiating and resonating the beauty of Our New Song.”

    “Miracle Praise is being released! I catch you up into the Cloud, into the Vortex of Miracle Praise where you shall lift high the Song of the Lord, releasing a torrent of glory fire upon the enemy and a sound of many waters rushing forth with signs, wonders and miracles,” says the Lord.

There is a sound being released into the church that is straight from the elevated place before the Throne of God. The Lord calls this ‘Glory Worship‘ and this worship resounds with signs, wonders and miracles. The Lord calls this ‘Miracle Praise‘. As it fills the atmosphere every form of disease and dark workings of the enemy is destroyed. Cancer cannot exist in it. Nor can any form of mental illness, or addiction. All disease and dis-ease is healed. The atmosphere will be filled with the tangible Glory of the Lord and all who enter in will be radically changed.

      Get ready! For as the Lord is accelerating you forward into your destiny, He is opening doors for you to enter into the glory realm of worship unlike any you have experienced before. New Song is rising within you. As you enter through the open door, pressing into deeper intimacy with the Lord, He is lifting you into position before His Throne where you will worship in spirit and truth. You are becoming one with the Glory and the sound of your praise will release the miraculous healing power of the Lord.
