Worship, Angels and Yeshua

Worship today was incredible, but it was a process. When I got to church the worship team was setting up the equipment. There was a lot of loud noise as they tried several microphone cords; the sounds being caused by shorts in a wire or at a connection, horrid noises to say the least. I felt a sort of uneasiness. We had Bible study for an hour and then prepared for worship.

I moved my Bible and myself to the part of the church I feel I am called to sit in during worship. I need a lot of space to be able to kneel, bow or lie down on the floor during worship. When the worship started I still felt like something wasn't right and I started to pray in the Spirit. About a minute went by and I heard Yahweh tell me, "these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." I wanted to sing, but Yahweh impressed on me that I was supposed to pray during worship. So, I prayed.

As I prayed Yahweh brought me out of the building to a position where I was just higher than the second story of the structure, looking down at it. I noticed that some angels had descended upon the building, one on each corner of the building, on the roof of the lower part of the building. They were dressed in a robes, not fancy robes, but rather drab robes, of a dark tan or perhaps a dark green, approaching a brown. They all had staffs. Then I saw other angels, all dressed the same. There were some in front of the windows and all of the doors; two per window and two per door. Then other angels came and stood at the four corners of the second story roof.

The angels all stood there facing out like a military sentries. At one point, they all threw their staffs to their sides and removed their robes. They all wore white garments underneath, sort of like Roman regalia, but pure white. Each one had what looked like a Roman Gladius sword in their belts. They all drew their swords at the same time and when they did, what I can only describe as hideous looking creatures materialized in the air. The angels fought them and won. The demonic creatures dematerialized and were gone.

I became lucid for a short time and noticed that the worship had turned around and that it sounded unencumbered and alive with the Ruach Ha Kodesh. My uneasiness seemed to disappear. At this point Yahweh told me to get down on the floor and lay prostrate while I pray. After a short while of prayer I felt led to worship as I lay there. All of a sudden I saw into Heaven and saw a man standing there. His hair was white like wool and so was his beard. His eyes were like fire and they glowed much like gold does when it is hot and moving in convection in a crucible. His face seemed to morph from a man, to a lion, and back to a man. I assumed that this was Yeshua and became more sure as time went on.

As I watched, the realm where Yeshua was slowly started to descend toward our place of worship. It came down and rested where we were. It was strange because I could see his realm and ours too; both existed in the same area, but were separate and distinct; yet they seemed to be one. Yeshua walked back an forth in the front of our sanctuary and as He looked at His people worshipping him He smiled. He then said, "Father, these are mine, and I am well pleased." At this point, Jesus' realm started to ascend until it just disappeared.

I got up from the floor, sort of disoriented and even had to hold onto chairs as I found my way to my seat. I just sat and stared for a little while, wanting to share what I had seen. I really didn't have the strength to do that anyway. I really started to feel bad that I wasn't sharing this vision with my brothers and sisters but then a peace came over me and an assuredness that I would share it at a later time.

NOTE:

What I got out of this is that there was a great spiritual battle at out fellowship that day. I know that I didn't really come to service expecting the worship to be all that great. I think that many people came with that lack of expectation, which is unusual because wonderful worship is a trademark of our fellowship. Part of the warfare was manifest by the misbehavior of the sound equipment and the ear piercing screeches of electronic shorts.  The rest was unseen.

I did later ask a couple of the people present if they noticed the lack of anticipation when the worship started and the turn around a little more than half way through the service and they agreed.

I've seen the angels a lot of time in our fellowship. They're always dressed in their robes. Sometimes they come into our sanctuary and fill the place and they worship Yeshua with us. Sometimes they just stand as sentries at the corners of the room and at the doorway. This time however is the first time I have ever seen them battle...it was glorious. But the greatest part was seeing Yeshua come down and visit us and it was a blessing to hear his approval, addressed to the Father Himself. Bless Yahweh!!!
