Beloved in the Lord,
Dear Readers,
As a guest I would like to first thank Rev. Henry Falcone for this opportunity to post on his blog and share with you a bit about what the Lord is doing in our region of northern Colorado. This past week has been amazing and the best way to describe it is that the fire is getting HOT. The Lord has been showing us some wonderful things in our times with Him in worship at the Northern Colorado Regional House of Prayer. Please read with me as I describe what He showed us during one worship/prayer session this week.
This particular worship session was is two parts that played out in reverse order. What I realized afterward was that it was a two part picture presented in reverse order. I will describe it to you as it was presented to me.
Part 1 - setting- His court room: There I sat in the court room of the Lord. I could see all that was happening. The Lord was seated on the bench and I found myself in chair of the accused. When told to stand I could hardly speak. It was my turn to present a defense to the Lord. All I could do was confess. I had heard that if you confess all in this court and leave nothing out the Judge will be merciful on you and he was. Once I started talking it became easier. Then I could not believe the things I was telling Him, things that even I had forgotten about. Things that no one else knew. When I finished, it was time to hear the verdict and the sentence for my crimes against His Kingdom. Just before He spoke, my lawyer spoke, and all He said was, "remember me". Then the Judge proclaimed in a loud voice, "I find nothing by which I can convict this man." And I was free to go.
As I continued to play and worship the Lord I was left with the feeling that truly "Better is one day in His court than a thousand elsewhere" Psalm 84:10. This was a new meaning to this verse, until this vision, I had always envisioned this "court" as a garden.
Part 2 - setting- The world: I was experiencing an inner monologue; my friends are telling me that if I turn myself in, to this Authority, then I will be set free. But I am so afraid all I can do is run. I run from any authority even those that want to help me. I am told that I have to go tell all and leave nothing out. But I am convinced that it will be the end of me. I am told that the court appointed defense attorney is amazing. But I am scared. I am sure that they have it out for me.
Then I find my self standing in the Great Hall. In front of me is a double door the size of which intimidates me. As I stand there, knowing the fate and judgment that awaits me on the other side, I cower on the floor. That is when I become aware of the guard that is standing beside the door. A large man in perfect shape. Dressed like a Roman soldier with large white wings folded behind his back. He must be at least 9 feet tall. He speaks to me and the sound of his voice created immediate trust. He says to me, "I know your scared but you made it this far, let me take you on in." I say to him that I am scared and I know that death lies beyond that door. How can I go into the court of the King un-summoned? He replied, "If I go with you, you will not be harmed."
Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, The Lord showed us that our court date with Him is coming, if it hasn't already. And that day, though hard going into it, will actually be the BEST day. Just think of it-the day of ultimate judgment only to have every sin pardoned! And being told you are free to go! It almost makes me speechless, but at the same time, I must be vocal and tell everyone, shout it from the mountain tops! I urge you to turn yourself in. Throw yourself at the mercy of His court and tell all. Because better is one day in His court than 1,000 on the run or in hell. I know it is scary to face His authority and it should be. This judge is righteous, unwavering, incorruptible. He follows the Law put in place by Himself. He does not change because of popular opinion polls. But just remember who your court appointed lawyer is. God's own son Jesus. Your Wonderful Counselor is the Judge's son with whom he is "well pleased". He is The Way and THE ONLY Way. Lean on Him and you will find yourself in court telling all, only to find the sentence is freedom.
I hope this gives you some idea of the power of worshiping the Lord. You will never regret waiting on the Lord. I promise you that. I hope this encourages you to seek the Lord, worship Him will all you heart mind and soul. And I look forward to future promptings to share with you again. Until then, blessings be upon you from Christ the Lord.

Dear Brad,
Thank you for adding your insights into the flame of the Lord we have been writing about.
As Christians we are afraid to remove our fig leaves, because the enemy has used comdemnation to say you are naked and ashamed. God will not receive you even though we know we can be forgiven.
Guilt is a wicked weapon when it used by the enemy against us, but when brought into the light of God's Holy flame, a voice cries out" Innocent by the blood of the lamb.
There we stand naked, exposed, vunerable before God, yet His love covers us. His Shekinah Glory as our covering. In your blog, I hear the Lord say, "who told you you were naked?" Yet, the not guilty is the Glory of what LOVE Himself is!
I pray those who read your blog will run to the light and confess all, so they too can know freedom in Christ! Thanks for sharing and keep sending more!
