A teaching from Rev. Wade E. Taylor

Dear Beloved Reader,

I wanted to post this teaching from my Spiritual Father Wade Taylor who just recently went home to Glory. It is a timely word. I read it early this year, but it is even more burning now in my Spirit so we can be prepared for what the Lord is about to do. Hope you enjoy reading it and receive the impartation of the Lord. I miss him dearly and so do so many others! We will see Him soon again!

A Living Word For Your Spirit: The Great Visitation

 

Wade E. Taylor

God created all that was created in "six days," and on the "seventh day" He rested. Each of these days was an indeterminate period of time in which a particular aspect of creation was accomplished.

Peter limited these days to specific time periods by saying, "a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day."

Of this time, "six days" relates to man's time, and the "seventh day," to the Millennial Kingdom of God. The first four "thousand year days" relate to the Old Testament, and the next two "thousand year days" to the Church Age.

This time (six days) came to an end in the year 2000, and the time of transition into the Millennial Kingdom of God (seventh day) began.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me... He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:20, 22

This "door" is at the end of the Church Age and is at the point of transition from the Church Age into the Millennial Kingdom Age. This is a conditional promise to those who have a "hearing ear."
The Apostle John was transported from his time to the end of the Church Age, and he heard the voice of the Lord knocking.

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, "Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter." Revelation 4:1

It is very important to notice that this door opened only when John heard the voice of the Lord knocking and he responded ("After this I looked..."). The result of a right response is being able to hear "things which must be hereafter." Jesus is yet knocking on the door of our temple, seeking those who will hear and respond. Thus, our ability to hear spiritually is very important.
He Is Coming into His Temple

When Jesus was twelve years old, He went into the temple of His day and time and astounded all those who heard Him (see Luke 2:42-47). When Jesus becomes twelve years old in His corporate Body, He will again come into the temple. This time He will come within the temple that we have become.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. Galatians 4:19
During this year, 2012, just as Jesus becomes "twelve years old," or more fully formed in His corporate Body, He will begin to come more manifestly within His present day temple (us).
When He shall come to be glorified in His saints... 2 Thessalonians 1:10

All that Jesus did in a single body, during His first coming, He will again do through a corporate Body, in the progression of His second coming.

The end-time visitation of our Lord is about to begin, as the final judgments have been delayed.
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Isaiah 60:1-3

In the Old Testament, the glory came "upon." In the New Testament, the glory comes "within."
May each of us who desire our Lord's best separate ourselves from all that could hinder our hearing the Lord's knock upon our spirit.

If we respond as John responded, Jesus will come within our "temple" to affect the world of our day and time, beyond anything that has ever been seen. "And the Gentiles [unsaved] shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising."

The greatest visitation ever is about to begin.
