"If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end."

Day 3 started with me asking the Lord what He wanted to talk with me about today. Immediately the word "love" came. Love has been a subject we have dwelt on for sometime. The more I look into the mirror of love the more I see I lack. I mean before I could even get out of bed, Chuck and I had a misunderstanding and I reacted out of my flesh rather than love. Yes Lord, I know, more of me has to die.

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking of a book I read several years ago by Bob Mumford called Agape Love: Journey to Intimacy With The Father. I looked everywhere for it and could not locate my copy. I even loaned it out or packed it away somewhere. It came so strong that I needed to read it again that I ordered a kindle copy for my iphone.

Yesterday, I was reading about Eros which he explain essentially means " the desire or intention to possess, acquire or control". Totally opposite of the Love of Christ. Eros can have a sexual connotation but not confined to that meaning. He writes "Eros is the mother of all sins. It can be recognized because it is always self-referential. It is not only self-centered, but it becomes self-consuming, turning increasingly inward upon itself in a tighter and tighter spiral.

The greek symbol for Eros is actually a serpent consuming its own tail. It is a highly refined form of self-interest and self-seeking. It is a love that has become so distorted that its only purpose is to meet its own needs. When Jesus referred to the religion that turned us in upon ourselves, He said, "How great is the darkness!: Matt 6:23

If you follow Agape to its fullest extreme, you find God. God is not faith or hope; God is love(Agape). If you take Eros out to the full end, you come to satan who wants to possess, acquire and control. The father of lies passed the whole package of evil desires on to us when Adam and Eve sinned against God." (quoted from Bob Mumford's book)

One thing I have learned is that even though the Lord loves us with a love we can hardly phantom, that love never forces you to do anything, that love gave us free choice. It never manipulates or intrudes. It is never self serving or haughty. It is always gentle and even when it comes to your door it will not come in uninvited, you have to open the door. It is the love that I so want to personify.

Day two of my journey started as I woke up hearing my spirit singing "Blessed be the Name of the Lord". It continued being filled with worship music that connected me to the heart of my beloved and an emphasis He had on praying the Word of God. Chuck was gone most of the day and I once again decided to go back to the barn for some quiet time. I was told that it would be open all this week as some volunteers read scriptures and prayed.

Ironically, the only ones there when I arrived was one faithful couple and the man was the same man I walked with from the parking lot Sunday afternoon. They stood up when I came through the door thinking that I was their relief. They had been there in that big room reading the Bible out loud starting with Genesis 1 since 9 AM and it was now 11:30. They desperately needed a potty break and after explaining my mission I agreed to continue reading so they could take a break. You know, God has a sense of humor. I know He was giggling about the mission He had prepared for me. He is funny some times.

Fred and Mary originally worked for the Lord at PTL and are part of the remnant left behind to pray. They are what you call true watchers. They were very humble and unpretentious. They explained that people would be reading the Bible all week because they wanted the Word of God to penetrate the very walls of the building and it would accomplish what it was sent to do and would not turn back void. Isaiah 55:11 NIV84 "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

When they returned they continued on reading as I walked the large room praying. At one point two large geese came to the glass door from the outside and honked so loud it sounded like a freight train. When we paid them no mind they started pecking at the glass as if to say "let me in". Creation has no problem recognizing the Creator's presence.

When I left Mary and Fred, I felt like I had experienced a Divine Appointment. That sweet couple did not appear to have some elaborate blitzy ministry, but none the less they have a very important one. They have been faithful to do that which the Lord gave them to do and seemed very content. I could hear the Lord saying "well done, my good and faithful servant".

I spent about 30 more minutes walking around the property and joining in agreement with the faithful remnant that the Lord would once again visit this place with His goodness and glory. I am asking of Him Gold (purity, strength that endures, beauty and value). I am asking for His will, His word, to be done on this land and in my life and the lives of my family as it is in heaven.

Isaiah 55:10, 11 NIV84 "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."

Yesterday was the beginning of my journey.  After a great sermon at church on what Jesus did on the cross for us and His redemptive love, I decided to go to the old PTL barn that reopened April 1 with 6 hours of praise, prayer and worship.  I have heard about the barn since we have been living on the grounds. It is the place where the Bakers had conferences, church, and filmed the PTL show. As I got out of my car in the parking lot I met a gentleman who had attended meetings at the barn in it's prime.  I thought of the time in the scriptures when the temple was rebuilt and the younger people rejoiced and the older ones wept, remembering what it was like in it's former glory.  However, I did not perceive this was the case because all those whom I came in contact expected the latter glory to be better than the former.

Yesterday the worship music and the prayers were beautiful and the theme that stuck out to me was restoration of dreams. I even had special prayer twice for this.  Just like what happened to the barn and all the elaborate buildings on the property, many of our dreams have fallen apart or have become buried in the pile of debris.

There was a man leading worship when I arrived that moved here 28 years ago with a dream of leading worship on the stage at the barn.  April 1, 2012 his dreams were fulfilled for the first time.  What an awesome picture of God's faithfulness and restoration power.  The barn lay in disarray for many years with walls out, ceiling open, and glass broken. Then "suddenly" God raised up a people to restore the building making it possible for this man's dream to be fulfilled.

Sitting in the presence of the Lord and joining into worship the words "Jesus Feast" came to my mind.  That's it, that's what I should call it,  that's what I desire.  Not a fast, but a feast.  I want all of Him that I can contain. I want to know His thoughts, His ways, and His character. I want to love what He loves and hate what He hates.

So my first day of feasting on Jesus showed me He is the restorer of dreams, or you could call it visions.  The word says that without a vision people will perish. When God puts a dream or vision in our heart, a timetable is usually not attached.  When it is deferred(withheld for or until a slated time) we start to loose hope and question if it will ever happen. With faith you hold on to those dreams by threads. The Lord encourages us to pray and faint not(Luke 18).

Below is a video that I found online that shows the Barn and the Upper Room, as it became, after being abandoned. It could be a picture of our lives full of abandoned dreams.

Here are a couple of pictures that I took inside the barn as it was yesterday.  It is not completely finished, but well done.  Someone donated the sheetrock, the paint and the carpet. I believe this was accomplished because of the prayers of the saints that moved onto this property because God called them to be a part of PTL.  After PTL was gone and the buildings decayed, they remained and faithfully prayed. 

The last two months has been like a whirlwind for Chuck and I, but in the midst of it I have had moments of obvious blessings from heaven. There were little things that I have desired for a while and suddenly as if I could see the hand of God extended from heaven with my desire in His palm, there it was. This has not happened just once or twice.  It has been a shower of blessings.

To many it would seem that these things are very little and insignificant.  To me it has been a delight. Mainly because I know my father knew my desire and chose to make it available to me. One hundred and twenty dollar curtains for my bedroom, living-room and kitchen for forty dollars.  Curtains that were exactly what I wanted.  Doors of ministry that have opened up suddenly, trips to places I wanted to see with little expense and good fellowship...etc, etc, etc.

Have you ever seen your child in a hard place and you bought them something they wanted just because you love them and wanted to bring them joy.  Well, that is what my Dad has been doing for me. What a Dad!

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Many times I have said that when I met Eve in glory I was going to ask, "What were you thinking?". Her falling for the trick of the enemy of questioning God's word/promise that caused thousands of years of misery to humanity seems at first glance to be a DUH!.

However, the Holy Spirit quickened to me yesterday that I have been listening and entertaining the same question. "Did God really say?" There are many things that I have felt the Lord told me through the years that I have yet to see come into completion. Some have to do with my family, some concerning friends and a lot about my own calling and destiny. Recently through some medical testing that Chuck and I had, I came to the almost overwhelming realization of how few years I have left to see these things occur. To be honest it sent me into a tail spin, questioning if indeed those things would ever happen.

I set my sight on this old short fat body with all it's frailties and it seemed like the best option was to just let what I felt called to do just go with the wind. Surely, if they were true I would have accomplished at least a part of it by now and those in authority or leadership would have recognized that gifting within me. The life seemed to be draining out of my dreams.

Then came the quick kick to the seat of my paints by the Holy Spirit. Where is your faith? Is God limited by your weight, your looks, your personality, or your age? Is He limited by your finances, your health or even your strength. Is He limited by anyone or anything? Uh.......I believe the answer would be NO.

Romans 4:17 As it is written: "I have made you a father of many nations." He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed--the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were. 18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be." 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead--since he was about a hundred years old--and that Sarah's womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

Well now, that was Abraham after all. Wasn't this because he was a special chosen one used by God to bring forth the children of God and Jesus who would bring reconciliation? What about us plan folk?

Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.

Joseph was a slave rejected by his brothers, Moses was a runaway murderer with a speech impediment, David was a sheepherder whose family had little respect for him, Ruth was a widow who just followed her mother-in-law, Esther was an orphan in a foreign land, Daniel was a prisoner of war transported away from his country. Peter, James and John were ordinary fisherman.  All common people used for Kingdom purposes. They chose to believe what God spoke into their lives despite what the circumstances were and despite their physical, social or financial status.

Psalm 12:6 The promises of the Lord can be trusted: They are as genuine as silver refined seven times in the furnace.

Romans 4:21 says that Abraham was fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. Can we not also be fully persuaded..... "Hath God said?"

In the midst of this, hurricane Irene hit North Carolina and traveled up the eastern coastline.  We quickly responded to the need and deployed with Samaritan's purse to New Bern, NC.  I must say that I did not expect what I found with this deployment.

I found many Christian volunteers from all walks of life and all parts of the country who sacrificed time with family, vacation, their own money and convenience to come and help the victims of this storm. Some traveled long distances and put their health at risk. These same people did not come for the glamour, fame or financial gain.  They were virtually unknown except in their little circle.  Many had heartaches of their own and yet they served with a smile and I heard very little complaining. I believe the Lord told me that they are "unsung heroes"

An Unsung hero is defined as a person who makes a substantive yet unrecognized contribution; a person whose bravery is unknown or unacknowledged.  Someone who doesn't get the praise or recognition that he or she deserves.

As I pondered that, I got a text from my dear friend, Frances. She said in that text "Our Lord has recorded heroes in the faith who were workers, helpers, rescuers in disasters. Even as they experienced disasters or lack themselves, they are heros of the faith".

James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

There was a hero who had polio as a child and fingers missing from one hand and yet worked in the heat many days to put feet to his faith. A number of women who traveled many miles alone and worked as hard as any man. Another was a young lady from Ohio who crawled under a house after being warned of three different kinds of snakes to pull the flooded ductwork out. One hero came dispite her own fight with cancer and her famiy's severe health issues and cried in my arms the day she left. There were some who were grieving over the death of their loved ones and yet came to comfort others. There were several who had lost their job and had not found one to replace it so they came for many weeks to work for the Lord. There was a gentleman who put off the preparation for a ministry trip to Africa where he was called in order to come cut fallen trees. The list is endless.

I soon realized that all those thoughts about finances was a test of my heart. I did not do so well at first on this test. But after standing in the midst of my dear brothers and sisters who are unsung heroes, I realized we were the blessed ones. We had treasures that would not be tainted or corrupted by this world. We started out as strangers and we came away from there feeling we had left family. The Lord has a large army of unknowns who live under the radar but are a powerful force and my brothers and sisters and his friends.

James 2:5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?

Mark 6:7-13 Calling the Twelve to him, he sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. 8 These were his instructions: "Take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them." 12 They went out and preached that people should repent. 13 They drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with oil and healed them.

July 10, 2011 while in prayer with our church prayer team prior to our Sunday morning service I saw in a vision a room being swept out by someone with a wide base broom. The broom was like the old homemade hand brooms of pioneer days.  Dust was being blown into the air.  Later in that same meeting I had a sudden awareness that the Lord was strategically moving people for the last days.

For months, it seems, I've been yearning for an awakening in me and the whole body of Christ. My heart desires the Glory of God to move in such a way that nothing can remain that is not Him. Along with that I have been keenly aware of my thoughts, attitudes, and ways that fall so short of who I should be as a servant of the living God. It is not a comfortable place but I cry out with David "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Many in the body of Christ are yearning and praying for the final Glory that is promised in the Word which will be greater than the former. We all carry this expectancy of a mighty move of God.  But our righteous Holy God does not dwell among the vile and the dirt.  He tells us in Leviticus 20:7 to "consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the Lord your God".  Ezekiel 22:26 "Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them."

Two days later at our Church women's meeting I had a vision of a very old door that was white and worn and it was closed.  I felt led to pray and declare it opened and that the arm of the Lord was pushing it open.  Then two days later my friend Carol sent me this from a publishing group called 5 fold Media: "Recent Dream: Many new doors and opportunities are coming to the Lord's people. Watch how God puts you into connection with others that will become the key to your destiny. When new opportunities are on the horizon, new people will come into your life."  That connected in my mind the understanding I had that God was going to move people strategically and the vision of the door.

That same week while watching a live stream of a conference in Alabama, I became aware of a conference scheduled in Corinth, TX at Glory of Zion church called "The Open Door, A new door for a new season". I contacted my friend, Mary Lynn, who goes to that Church for information. In the article about the conference Chuck Pierce wrote:

"What does it mean to enter a new door to a new season? As all of us know, a door is an opening for entering or leaving a house, tent, or room. At least five Hebrew words and one Greek term are translated "door" in the English Bible. The two most common Hebrew words have distinct usages, though they may be interchanged. Petha refers to the doorway, to the actual opening itself. Deleth alludes to the door proper, usually made of wood sheeted with metal, though a slab of stone could be used. The Greek term thura is used for both of these Hebrew words.

"Door" is often used in a figurative sense in the Bible. In the Old Testament, "sin lieth at the door" (Gen. 4:7) means that sin is very near. The valley of Achor, a place of trouble (Josh. 7:26), is later promised as "a door of hope" (Hos. 2:15). It will become a reason for God's people to trust Him again.

In the New Testament Jesus calls Himself "the door" (John 10:7, 9). Faith in Him is the only way to enter the kingdom of God. God gave to the Gentiles "the door of faith," or an opportunity to know Him as Lord (Acts 14:27). Paul constantly sought a "door of service," an occasion for ministry in the name of Christ (1 Cor. 16:9). Jesus stands at the door and knocks (Rev. 3:20). He calls all people to Himself, but will not enter without permission."

I believe we are standing at the door to what will be an awakening that remains, the Glory of His presence that mankind has not known since the fall.  King Solomon built a temple to the Lord that was exquisite. The day he sacrificed to the Lord and brought the ark of the covenant into the temple, a cloud of His glory entered into His house and the priest could not stand. We are now the temple of God and He is preparing us for that door to open. Matthew 3:12 "His winnowing fan (shovel, fork) is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear out and clean His threshing floor and gather and store His wheat in His barn, but the chaff He will burn up with fire that cannot be put out."

    ¹⁵For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

    ¹⁶Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God's unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].

March 25th I underwent surgery to remove a cataract on my right eye. The surgery went as smoothly as I anticipated it would.  The Lord gave me peace about it from the beginning.  However, the recovery period has not been as quick and uneventful as I expected.  Not that anything serious has gone wrong, thank the Lord, but just challenges.  Having a surgeon who is exactly that and not really interested in bothering to get personally involved, I was not really prepared for these challenges.  As an ole nurse I know the value of educating the patient and as a patient I know the value is priceless.

One of the challenges has of course been vision since one eye is corrected and not yet clear and the other needs glasses.  This drastic difference in my eyes caused my balance to be off at times and reading could only be done by closing my operated eye and trying to read through the uncorrected eye, glasses and at times a magnifying glass.

Several days ago I started having pain in my operated eye. Being a nurse is an advantage at times and a real disadvantage at other times. The enemy loves to use your knowledge as a mental attack against you.  He loves playing all these scenarios over and over in your head.  When you have eye pain it causes other problems such as lack of concentration, nervousness, watering of your eyes, sensitivity to light etc.  I put up with this for several days until Chuck could no longer stand it and called the doctor.  Fortunately, the eye exam just showed scratching and irritation, but nothing serious.

Hebrews 13:3 Regard prisoners as if you were in prison with them. Look on victims of abuse as if what happened to them had happened to you.(Message Bible)

Through all this and as we were coming back from the doctor's office Sunday night I thought of my sister who is now considered legally blind and my dear friend who has fought with eye pain for years due to a cornea transplant complications. I marveled at how much they had endured and yet continued on with life. The Holy Spirit reminded me of these scriptures as I thought of them.

We have a high priest, Jesus, who is touched with the feelings of our infirmities. He bore on the cross all our sins and every disease with all the pain and suffering that comes with them.  He can and does go before our Father and intercedes for us knowing exactly (feeling) what we are going through.  Likewise, when we go through trials or sickness we can go boldly to the throne of grace interceding not only for ourselves but also others in the same situation knowing exactly (feeling) what they are experiencing. This compassion brings forth power to heal and deliver. Many times in the word it says that Jesus was filled with compassion and healed them. No wonder the Lord tells us to count it all joy when we go through trials.  He did.

Hebrews 12:2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

In further study of my inheritance these are a few of the things that the word says that I am as a born again Christian.  If you have Jesus living inside of you then this applies to you also.

I am a Child of God; God is spiritually my Father - Romans 8: 14-15 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ¹⁵ The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

I am in Christ - Ephesians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. ⁴ For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love

I am an heir with the Father and a joint heir with Christ Jesus - Romans 8:17  Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

I am reconciled to God and am an ambassador of reconciliation for Him - 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: ¹⁹ that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

I am a saint - 1 Corinthians 1:2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

I am God's workmanship, created in Christ for good works - Ephesians 2:10  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

I am a child of light - 1 Thessalonians 5:5  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

I am the light of the world - Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

I am the salt of the earth - Matthew 5:13 You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

I am a citizen of heaven - Philippians 3:20  For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ

I am the temple of the Holy Spirit - Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

When I obtained the quilt I was shocked.  This notorious quilt was beyond repair.  It was stained and dry rotted.   Standing with it in my hands, I thought it was a pretty good picture of my natural inheritance.

Last year I had a dream.  In part of the dream two of my cousins brought me several gifts.  One package was a square of the quilt that had been restored.  I was amazed. The colors were as vibrant as if brand new. Then there was a package of chocolates and some other gifts.  The last gift I opened up was the whole quilt completely restored.  I was beside myself with excitement. I asked them how they managed to restore the quilt and get it just as it was when my grandmother first put it together.  They answered, "it was there all the time."

I have pondered that statement many times since the night I had the dream and have asked the Lord to give me understanding.  Was my inheritance right under my nose and I had missed it? 

Well, I found that it truly was right under my nose.  The Bible clearly states that as born again believers we have a rich inheritance through Christ Jesus from our heavenly father, an inheritance to which we have full access.  However, just like a natural inheritance if we don't take hold of it then, it is as if we never had it. It would be like someone writing us a million dollar check and we put it on a shelf and never cashed it. Sitting around it is worth nothing, but taking it to the bank makes it worth a million because you access the money in the vault waiting on you.

Galations 3:26-4:7(Message)

 ^25-27But now you have arrived at your destination: By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God. Your baptism in Christ was not just washing you up for a fresh start. It also involved dressing you in an adult faith wardrobe—Christ's life, the fulfillment of God's original promise.

In Christ's Family

 ^28-29In Christ's family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ's family, then you are Abraham's famous "descendant," heirs according to the covenant promises.

Galatians 4

 ^1-3Let me show you the implications of this. As long as the heir is a minor, he has no advantage over the slave. Though legally he owns the entire inheritance, he is subject to tutors and administrators until whatever date the father has set for emancipation. That is the way it is with us: When we were minors, we were just like slaves ordered around by simple instructions (the tutors and administrators of this world), with no say in the conduct of our own lives.

 ^4-7But when the time arrived that was set by God the Father, God sent his Son, born among us of a woman, born under the conditions of the law so that he might redeem those of us who have been kidnapped by the law. Thus we have been set free to experience our rightful heritage. You can tell for sure that you are now fully adopted as his own children because God sent the Spirit of his Son into our lives crying out, "Papa! Father!" Doesn't that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child? And if you are a child, you're also an heir, with complete access to the inheritance.

So the word clearly states that we as Christians are children of God with full, complete access to our inheritance. So having an inheritance is not the issue, it is a gift that was there all along.  Having access is not an issue, he says we have complete access. The issue is having the revelation that it is ours and reaching out and taking what is ours as children of the living God.

To not access what the Lord has provided for us through his sacrifice and blood is like being born into a rich family who lives in a huge mansion, dines on the richest of food, dresses in the highest of fashion and choosing to live in the barn with the animals and eat hay.  Stupid gone to seed.

Ephesians 2:1-6(Message)

^1-6It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us. Instead, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, he embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. He did all this on his own, with no help from us! Then he picked us up and set us down in highest heaven in company with Jesus, our Messiah.

So in my dream the Lord was telling me that I have an inheritance beyond my imagination that has been available to me ever since I became a Christian. A provision for me that I have not fully accessed because I was not aware it was there.  I am already seated in heavenly places as a full heir of Almighty God and I am now on a journey to access what He has provided for me.
