Sunday’s Vision

Sunday, during our worship time with our church community, Living Waters, I physically felt several strong bursts of wind pass over me, like a draft from a door being opened. It was so noticeable that I turned to see the cause. I was sitting in the back row in the aisle seat, a part of me always on the alert for what is happening at my back. No door had opened and no one had moved. Only wind. I immediately was reminded of the Day of Pentecost when a strong wind blew over the early disciples in the upper room.

Later, I remembered the physical touch of wind and connected it to what transpired in the Spirit. In the moment, all I could take in was a waking vision in living color of Jesus in the room, dancing over us. It was a victory dance, and we were the recipients of His glory over us. He began to spin in circles, the train of His robe unfurling over us. It was like a continually-expanding canopy that eventually encompassed every person in the room.

At one point, I saw Jesus invite all of us to join with Him. The miracle of Pentecost is already in motion, already unfurling. The victory is complete. We are invited to join Him in celebration. His reality always supersedes our present circumstance.

Later, I was reminded of Isaiah’s heavenly vision. He saw the train of the Lord’s robe filling the temple. Filling means a continuous filling in the Hebrew language. There was no end to his train filling the temple! And the angels cried out to one another: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory (see Isaiah 6:1 & Revelation 4:1-3). It was a supernatural glimpse of His unending, eternal glory-presence both in Heaven and on Earth.

The Lord of hosts is the Deliverer and we dwell in His glory-presence. Whether we see Him or not, we simply stand on His word. We dance in celebration in His resurrection power. Fear must go. Depression must go. Hopelessness must go. Rebellion must go. Sickness and disease must go. Addictions must go.

Sunday was a reminder and invitation to experience God’s glory—His greatness and authority—in this great out-pouring of His Spirit upon us.
