Write the Vision

Some of the visions I have had during times of personal and corporate worship.

Habakkuk 2v2: And the LORD answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

The vision usually comes while my heart is worshipping God with song and music. I become aware of what my eyes see even though they are closed. As I look, the vision it-self becomes clearer and the vision draws me to the one I seek. Jesus.

Sometimes the outline of Jesus figure is surrounded by light and He is standing a small distance away. Sometimes His arms open. Sometimes they are by His side.

Sometimes I see Jesus feet. They are close-up and bronze, perfect, pure and holy. He is standing and wears no sandals. This is a place of stillness to me. Sometimes I am sitting there beside Him, and sometimes I am bowed down in front of His feet worshipping Him, loving Him.

Revelation 1:15: And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Sometimes I am in the throne room. I cannot see clearly but I know it is the throne room and I see a cloud of glory and it emanates God the Father.

Sometimes I see Jesus dressed for battle in standing in His chariot with white horses moving full speed. He is high-up in the heavens. He is The Mighty Warrior, The Commander and Chief. He is followed by the heavenly hosts; His hair is billowing and his garments flapping in the surrounding winds. He is coming; He is coming to bring His justice to the earth and His judgement is just

Mathew 24:30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

When I see this vision my worldly troubles melt and I am strengthened in my heart and mind. I have a burning desire to worship Him more and I am reminded that no eye has seen no ear has heard and no mind can percieve what the Lord has in store for those who love Him.

1Corinthians 2:9: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Sometimes the vision is personal. Once he showed me a path. I was standing beside the path. I saw The LORD walking along the path I could see the back of His heals and the soles of His feet as He walked.

As I watched it struck me there was no dust on the path or dirt on His feet and I became afraid. I knew he was inviting me onto this path but I was afraid. So I prayed and asked Him to help me get on the path.

This was the end of the vision but the next day I realised it was the path of holiness and I was afraid because of my sin. So again I prayed and asked the LORD to help me.

1Peter 1:16: Because is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

One powerful vision I had was when I saw the LORD dance. The first time this happened it took me by surprise.

We were worshipping in an empty hall in an old camping ground where a few of us were living at the time. In the evening when the children were settled we would go down to this hall and turn on the amplifiers and instruments and worship till we had sung all the songs we knew. On occasion we went till dawn.

On this particular night two of us remained in the hall and during the worship I saw the LORD standing in the hall, waiting. Then with a gracious swooping movement as though he was picking something up from the ground, He turned His head and looked directly at me. It was at this point I realised He had begun to dance and I saw joy in his eyes, I saw THE JOY OF THE LORD.

Mat 25:21: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.

He began leaping graciously with powerful movements, full of majesty and splendour and beauty. The swirl of His garment was awe-striking. Swirling and twisting with amazing elegance as He leapt with perfect movement around the hall.

My eyes were on His garment and it began growing in size and greatness and in the movement of swirls and twirls until the edges of it were touching all the walls at once, including the ceiling and floor. This scripture came to me - His train fills the temple. And then the scripture - His glory fills the earth.

Isaiah 6:1: In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

“Oh gracious God you dance like no other, you are full of splendour and your beauty none can compare”. Amen.

I do not know how long this went on for but the LORD opened the eyes of my understanding and He said “believe what your eyes see”.

The vision ended and I started laughing and could not stop smiling and I went and woke my friend and told her what had happened.

She had to believe me because I would not shut-up. :)

My interpretation of what the LORD had spoken to me is this.

In my heart I was to believe the vision, I was to believe that I saw the LORD dancing and it was real. I was not just looking through a picture book. I was to believe all the visions he had shown me and the visions to come.

Afterward I remembered the song “Lord of the Dance”. I only knew the chorus but I understood the power of the words for the first time. There is a Lord of the dance - JESUS IS THE LORD OF THE DANCE.

Does the person who wrote this song know how prophetic it is? Sydney Carter 1963

The most mind blowing piece of revelation was realising how much He loves to hear us worship Him. How precious our worship is to Him. As His people worship Him, it’s not only us He fills with joy; he becomes filled with joy Himself.

Zephaniah 3:17: The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

When we begin to worship Him it is not a religious event. It’s not a few happy-clappy songs and let’s all sit-down and have another cup of tea.

God joins in as we worship Him He comes and fills His temple, we are His temple. It’s an expression of love from us to Him and from Him to us.

You should come away from your worship time saying that was amazing - not the music, not the worship leader - but the presence of God was amazing i.e. the anointing was powerful, remember it’s the anointing that breaks every yoke, the anointing is the power of God.

Isa 10:27: And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

When we come away from God’s presence after worship (yet we are always in His presence). We are strengthened in spirit. Our love for Him deepens. Our faith grows. We become more like Him. He becomes our desire.
