I was caught up to a very unusual realm with the Lord. He held my hand and guided me into the most beautiful realm that I had not visited before. Everything was radiating joy. The colors were vivid, alive, and spectacular. The air itself was fragrant. All of the plants, the green grass, and the people there were all laughing and shouting. The very atmosphere was filled with complete joy. Pure happiness was flowing through me as well as we walked here together. It was as if everything was united with the Lord in complete fullness of Joy. I asked the Lord where we were. He waved His hand around and was genuinely pleased to tell me. 

“This is the Realm of the Completeness of My Joy that I have for all of My People. This is not just for when you come to live with Me in heaven later. This is also part of My Kingdom which indwells all of you. It is My desire that you would come to know Me in all of My ways. Many of My People know Me as Lord and Savior and King, but I want to know Me in all of My aspects: My Character, My Nature, and My Goodness. There is always more of Me to know Sue. Some know Me as their Peace. Some know Me as their Healer. Some know Me as their Provider. But most don't live in that place within Me. I am not just God that provides. I also want you to deeply abide within these Truths of who I am.”

“I want My people to walk in the completeness of My Joy, now. Your joy is not determined by how your day goes, whether good or bad. I am not determined by your circumstances. I am above those things. My Kingdom is accessed by your faith in Me, but it also must be appropriated into every area of your daily lives. I am Joy, and I am not an emotion or feeling. I am a person. My Joy is also your strength. My Joy strengthens every area of your being: Your minds, your hearts, your emotions, your perspectives, and your ability to made right choices. It is time that My People walk in Me fully. My Fathers Kingdom is implanted deep with your being, and as you walk with Me within your hearts, it will expand as you grow into the knowledge of Me within you.”

“I want My People to look to Me in every aspect of their lives. You are not alone. I indwell you and I walk with you through life’s changes. But most of My People forget this truth, and they do not draw from Me that which they need. As the world grows increasingly dark and unstable, My people must be firmly rooted within Me in every area, so they can receive from Me all that they will need. Keeping your eyes off of circumstances will enable them to see clearer and to stay in the flow of who I am within them. Keeping your thoughts and your focus upon Me will also deepen your trust in Me, which activated your faith to learn more of Me. It is time to learn of Me in all of My ways, so that you can all fully walk in them to the full.” 

Scriptures:

Psalms 25:4 Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. 5 Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You [You only and altogether] do I wait [expectantly] all the day long. 6 Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercy and loving-kindness; for they have been ever from of old. 7 Remember not the sins (the lapses and frailties) of my youth or my transgressions; according to Your mercy and steadfast love remember me, for Your goodness’ sake, O Lord. 8 Good and upright is the Lord; therefore will He instruct sinners in [His] way. 9 He leads the humble in what is right, and the humble He teaches His way. 10 All the paths of the Lord are mercy and steadfast love, even truth and faithfulness are they for those who keep His covenant and His testimonies. 11 For Your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my iniquity and my guilt, for [they are] great. 12 Who is the man who reverently fears and worships the Lord? Him shall He teach in the way that he should choose. 13 He himself shall dwell at ease, and his offspring shall inherit the land. 14 The secret [of the sweet, satisfying companionship] of the Lord have they who fear (revere and worship) Him, and He will show them His covenant and reveal to them its [deep, inner] meaning.

John 15:9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. 10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love. 11 I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.

John 16:24 22 So for the present you are also in sorrow (in distress and depressed); but I will see you again and [then] your hearts will rejoice, and no one can take from you your joy (gladness, delight). 23 And when that time comes, you will ask nothing of Me [you will need to ask Me no questions]. I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name [as [a]presenting all that I Am]. 24 Up to this time you have not asked a [single] thing in My Name [as [b]presenting all that I Am]; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete.

John 17:13 And now I am coming to You; I say these things while I am still in the world, so that My joy may be made full and complete and perfect in them [that they may experience My delight fulfilled in them, that My enjoyment may be perfected in their own souls, that they may have My gladness within them, filling their hearts].

Ephesians 4:12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), 13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

Php 2:2 Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention.

Reposting: “The Five Golden Bridges Vision – 5-16-16”

(Image found on Bing Images. Credit is given to the Owner.)

In the vision, I saw people walking over golden bridges. There were 5 golden bridges, and they had spaces of land between each one. Each bridge was different in design, but all were made of gold. The distance between each bridge was different but I knew it had to do with the design and purpose of each bridge.

 
There were the most people on the first 2 bridges, and many people on the next 2 bridges, with only a handful on the 5th bridge. The 5 Bridges represent the Season that we are all in. We are in a Season of Great Grace to transition and to move into the fullness that the Lord has determined for us to arrive at.

Each bridge is kind of like links in a chain, or like cars in a train, but there is a transition phase between each bridge. The danger is that many will think that they have arrived at their destination and will not move on further into what the Lord has.

The 5 bridges were: 1. Refreshing. 2. Visitation. 3. Revival. 4. Glory. 5. Habitation.

Scriptures:

1. Refreshing.

Acts 3:19 So repent (change your mind and purpose); turn around and return [to God], that your sins may be erased (blotted out, wiped clean), that times of refreshing (of recovering from the effects of heat, of reviving with fresh air) may come from the presence of the Lord;

Job 29: 21 Men listened to me and waited and kept silence for my counsel. 22 After I spoke, they did not speak again, and my speech dropped upon them [like a refreshing shower]. 23 And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouths wide as for the spring rain.

Isaiah 28:11 No, but [the Lord will teach the rebels in a more humiliating way] by men with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people [says Isaiah, and teach them His lessons]. 12 To these [complaining Jews the Lord] had said, This is the true rest [the way to true comfort and happiness] that you shall give to the weary, and, This is the [true] refreshing—yet they would not listen [to His teaching]. 13 Therefore the word of the Lord will be to them [merely monotonous repeatings of]: precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little—that they may go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and taken.

2. Visitation.

Luke 19:44 And they will dash you down to the ground, you [Jerusalem] and your children within you; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, [all] because you did not come progressively to recognize and know and understand [from observation and experience] the time of your visitation [that is, when God was visiting you, the time in which God showed Himself gracious toward you and offered you salvation through Christ].

3. Revival.

Psalms 69:32 The humble shall see it and be glad; you who seek God, inquiring for and requiring Him [as your first need], let your hearts revive and live! 33 For the Lord hears the poor and needy and despises not His prisoners (His miserable and wounded ones).

Psalms 85:1 Lord, You have [at last] been favorable and have dealt graciously with Your land [of Canaan]; You have brought back [from Babylon] the captives of Jacob. 2 You have forgiven and taken away the iniquity of Your people, You have covered all their sin. Selah [pause, and calmly realize what that means]! 3 You have withdrawn all Your wrath and indignation, You have turned away from the blazing anger [which You had let loose]. 4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Your anger toward us to cease [forever]. 5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger [and disfavor] and spread it out to all generations? 6 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? 7 Show us Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, and grant us Your salvation.

Isaiah 55:3 Incline your ear [submit and consent to the divine will] and come to Me; hear, and your soul will revive; and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with you, even the sure mercy (kindness, goodwill, and compassion) promised to David.

Isaiah 57:14 And the word of One shall go forth, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way! Take up the stumbling block out of the way [of the spiritual return] of My people. 15 For thus says the high and lofty One—He Who inhabits eternity, Whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, but with him also who is of a thoroughly penitent and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the thoroughly penitent [bruised with sorrow for sin]. 16 For I will not contend forever, neither will I be angry always, for [if I did stay angry] the spirit [of man] would faint and be consumed before Me, and [My purpose in] creating the souls of men would be frustrated.

4. Glory.

Psalms 63:1 O God, You are my God, earnestly will I seek You; my inner self thirsts for You, my flesh longs and is faint for You, in a dry and weary land where no water is. 2 So I have looked upon You in the sanctuary to see Your power and Your glory. 3 Because Your loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

Psalms 85:9 Surely His salvation is near to those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, [and is ready to be appropriated] that [the manifest presence of God,] His glory may tabernacle and abide in our land.

Romans 5:2 Through Him also we have [our] access (entrance, introduction) by faith into this grace (state of God’s favor) in which we [firmly and safely] stand. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God.

5. Habitation.

Psalms 114:2 Judah became [God’s] sanctuary (the Holy Place of His habitation), and Israel His dominion.

Psalms 107:4 Some wandered in the wilderness in a solitary desert track; they found no city for habitation. 35 He turns a wilderness into a pool of water and a dry ground into water springs; 36 And there He makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation, 37 And sow fields, and plant vineyards which yield fruits of increase.

Exodus 15:13 You in Your lovingkindness and goodness have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them with care to Your holy habitation.

Psalm 26:8 O Lord, I love the habitation of Your house and the place where Your glory dwells.

Reminder to us all:

The 5 Bridges represent the Season that we are all in. We are in a Season of Great Grace to transition and to move into the fullness that the Lord has determined for us to arrive at.

Each bridge is kind of like links in a chain, or like cars in a train, but there is a transition phase between each bridge. The danger is that many will think that they have arrived at their destination and will not move on further into what the Lord has.

When the biggest group of people crossed the 1st and 2nd bridges and many decided to stay in the land between the next bridge. They were lulled into thinking that the new revelations and freedom they experienced here was the place they wanted to remain in. So most did not continue to move on to the next bridge.

I knew by watching them that there is still more to cross over into, for each bridge also goes higher. With each bridge that is climbed they will ascend higher on into the revelations and encounters with the Lord that are released within the space of land they stepped into. I also knew that they can't stop at any of these levels of revelation, we must continue to grow and mature through each stage of Ascension into full maturation.

Those I saw who continued on to the 3rd and 4th bridges were being transformed as they went, and many were so amazed at their new transformations that they were satisfied with the breakthroughs that had occurred that they stayed there to enjoy the new freedom they found in the Glory and the spiritual expansion that they had received there. I knew that they should move on, but only a handful wanted to.

I saw some of the people urge the people to keep going, but they would not. So, the handful of people then left, and they walked on across the 5th golden bridge, and they stepped onto the land that opened up before them. 

The Lord was standing there ready to greet those who had arrived. He embraced each one, and said, "Well done! Enter into the Rest of the Son!"

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. Isaiah 11:10

Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access [to My presence] and places to walk among these who stand here. Zechariah 3:7(A)

The current experiences and encounters that we are all having in the plan of the Lord for this Season is not the final destination. We are all moving from Refreshing to Visitation, to Revival, to the Glory, and on into full Habitation, which is fully abiding in His Permanent Rest.

There are many delights and glorious encounters that we will have in each phase of our transformation, but we must keep allowing the Lord to bring us fully into Him. We can't stop at any level and think we have fully arrived. The Lord has a great burden for all of His people to fully enter into His Rest, into Him.

We are to be His Habitation in which He will dwell, and in which we will dwell within Him! Union must occur so we can fully release the fullness of the revelation of the measure of the stature of Christ in the earth.

Hebrews 4:1 Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today], let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it. 2 For indeed we have had the glad tidings [Gospel of God] proclaimed to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe). 3 For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those [who did not believe] should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although [His] works had been completed and prepared [and waiting for all who would believe] from the foundation of the world.

1 John 3:2 ·Dear friends, Beloved, now we are children of God, and ·we have not yet been shown it has not yet been revealed what we will be in the future. But we know that when ·Christ comes again, he/it is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he really is. – EXB

Psalms 132:4 I will not permit my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumber, 5 Until I have found a place for the Lord, a habitation for the Mighty One of Jacob.

We cannot be satisfied with where we are, or even with experiencing His Glory, we must become "as He is"
- He is the final destination!
