Introduction
This is the second book in the series The Final Quest. Although The Call begins
where the first book ends, is it possible to read this and understand its message without having read the
first book. However, if you have not yet read The Final Quest, some concepts of
this material may seem disconnected. Since this is the continuation of a saga
spiritual, there are some foundations laid in the first book on which is built the
second

As I explained in the introduction of The Final Search, these books are the
result of a series of 'prophetic experiences.' I have been advised many times, so that
I wrote them as allegorical fables; that way more people could understand them. That can be.

how I could. To say that these are the result of my own creativity would be the same
time, impertinent and an affront to the Spirit of Truth.

Nevertheless, because The Final Search has been widely received across the spectrum
of Christian denominations and movements, and has found notable favor among the
conservative evangelicals; I want to explain in greater depth what I mean when I say:
prophetic experiences. How I received these in particular, and a little about the biblical basis of
these experiences for our times.

The prophetic experiences in the Bible are of a very diverse nature, as they were
those that I received in these series. Some came in dreams, others in visions, and others in the
what the Bible calls 'ecstasy.' Dreams, visions, and ecstasy have biblical precedents and
they establish ways in which the Lord speaks to His People. There is a growing number of
Christians who are having experiences of this kind, in such a way that it is considered by
some like the fulfillment of the prophecy given by Peter on the day of Pentecost, when
he quoted the prophet Joel: Acts 2:17-18.

And in the last days, says God, I will pour out my Spirit upon
all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your
young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams;
And certainly upon my servants and upon my maidservants in those days.
I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.

As Scripture declares, prophetic revelations through visions, dreams and

prophecies will prevail in the last days. Due to a dramatic increase in

revelation given to Christians in these times, it is understandable that it is considered as a
signal that we are in the "last days."

Discerning between the True and the False.

Jesus warned us that in the last days there would be many 'false prophets.' (Mt 24:24).
This must be expected, because the Lord also taught: whenever He sows wheat
in a field, the enemy would come behind and sow weeds in the same field. (Mt 13: 24-
30). The darnel resembles wheat, and it may even have the same taste as wheat, but it is
harmful. Satan will immediately try to counterfeit everything God is doing, creating
confusion and, if possible, deceiving even the chosen ones. However, Satan could not
do this if God did not allow it. Obviously, the Lord wants us to learn to
distinguish the true from the false. Allow the true to be tested by the false, to
purify thus what is true.

These false prophets are also growing. It should not surprise us, but
encouraged to seek the truth with greater determination. If we do not want to be
deceived by the false, the answer is not to reject all prophecy; but rather, to know it.
what is true. Those who cannot discern true prophecy in the times that
they come, they will be increasingly subject to falsehood. If God is planting something, it is because He
we will need. If we do not plant a field, but neglect it, the only harvest
what we will reap will be weeds. Those who do not receive what God is doing will end up
harvesting what grows wild.

From the beginning, the Lord committed to allowing humanity to be able to

to choose between what is true and what is false, between good and evil. That is why he placed the Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil in the Garden of Eden, along with the Tree of Life. He did not place the Tree of

by false teachers and false teachings; the true prophets and the true prophecy
they will always be overshadowed by the false. The Lord allows the enemy to sow tares
among the wheat to test our hearts. Those who love the truth will discern what
It is true, and those who are pure of heart will discern what is pure.

That the Lord warned us that there would be false prophets at the end of times implies
whether there would be true ones; or would simply have said that at the end of times, all the
prophets will be false. Some believe that all prophets will ultimately be false, but this is a
basic conflict with the prophecy of Joel, that in the end times, God will pour out His
Spirit and there will be visions, dreams, and prophecies. (Joel 2:28-29).
There is a danger in being open to prophetic revelations such as dreams, visions, and prophecies.
However, there is an even greater danger if we are not open to them. The revelations do not
they give us for our entertainment, but because we need them for the times when
we live. As Jesus also declared;

But he who climbs up some other way, that man is a thief and a robber.

And when he has taken all of his own outside, he goes ahead of them; and the
sheep follow him because they know his voice.
But the stranger will not be followed, but will flee from him, because they do not know the
voice of strangers.” (John 10:1-5)

The sheep of the Lord know His voice. They are not deceived by strangers because
They know his voice so well that they can distinguish it from the voices of others. One of the ways
that the Lord has spoken to His People, from the beginning, has been prophetically. Because of
that we know that God never changes, and that the Scriptures are so clear about the
visions, dreams, and prophecies that He will give to His People; which are so essential for us
to distinguish its revelation correctly. Once they have been interpreted correctly,
we must have the wisdom to apply them correctly.
The purpose of prophesying

The prophecy is given to stimulate, but it is also for building up. To build up means
to build. Much of my life and ministry, including the places where I go to minister or to
giving talks, they are determined prophetically. I do not consider myself doing something or going to
to minister to someone unless the Lord has spoken to me beforehand. Jesus did the
same. He did not respond to human needs: he only did what he saw the Father do. Not
we have time to go places or do things that God is not leading us to do. I think that
Our devotion to hearing the Lord before we do things allows us to be fruitful with the
resources and the time that he entrusted to us.
I know others who have successfully built a ministry or a church on
prophetic words. I also know some who have shipwrecked and others who suffered serious
divisions because they did not know how to judge the prophecies. Many of these problems occurred because
they received a genuine revelation from the Lord, but they interpreted it wrong or used it wrong.
For some, this may sound complicated, but it is the clearly established process by the
Scriptures, and we will pay a high price if we deviate from biblical wisdom with
regarding the prophetic revelation.

When Jesus said in Matthew 22:29, 'You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures and the power.'

God. Those who often know His power make mistakes because they do not know the

caused having to view certain Scriptures in a way I hadn't before
previously. Still, I believe that this corresponds with the purpose of such revelations
prophetic. Prophecy should not be used to establish doctrines. That is what we were given the
Bible, and I believe that the doctrine of the Bible is complete and should not have anything added to it. Without
embargo, the Bible itself has many examples of prophetic experiences given to the
individuals with the purpose of illuminating the Scriptures.
A notable example from the New Testament about this would be the ecstasy in which Peter
he fell, and it resulted in his journey to Cornelius' house, opening the door of faith to the Gentiles.
This experience and the result that I care for clarified for the church that the Lord also thought that
the gospel was to be preached to the Gentiles. This did not establish a new doctrine, but

There are several themes repeating in this speech. They are not just redundant statements,
Some of these topics are repeated from different perspectives or are formulated from various

prominent figures in the history of the church who are now dead. There are biblical precedents for
this, like when the Lord spoke with Moses and Elijah. Although Elijah was taken away without seeing the
death, Moses had indeed died. We also have the example when the apostle John
fell to worship the angel in Revelation 22:9. The angel rebuked John and told him that he
he was also a servant and companion of his brothers. Rev. 22:9. Many interpreted this
to indicate that he was one of the saints who had departed to be with the Lord.

 Even so, I can understand how some still have issues with this, and there is another
explanation. There is a difference between prophetic experiences and doing something in reality.
For example, when Ezekiel was caught up in the Spirit and taken to Jerusalem, it is obvious
that he did not go to the real Jerusalem, although it seemed very real to him. Much of what he experienced,
it really didn't exist, but its meaning was to carry a message to the exiled. Likewise,
Although some of these experiences and people seemed very real to me, I question in
Seriously, I was really talking to the people in heaven. I believe these were
prophetic experiences to deliver a message. I don't know if the places I saw in heaven were
real places, or they appeared to me in the way they did for the purpose of leading
this message. However, I am open to the thought that I saw real places and found
real people. I do not see any conflict with the Scripture that prohibits this possibility,
although I understand how some would object to them. Still, as Abel speaks, though he is dead,
certainly the lives of the biblical characters are messages, and these experiences me
they helped to clarify this more than ever.

Some reasons that support my belief that these were prophetic experiences.
and that I was not talking to real people, is due to how long they
remained or endured. For example, most people have had dreams that
they were so real that when they woke up, for a brief time, they could really believe that
the dreams were real. However, even the most realistic of dreams usually starts to
to wither away so that, in a couple of hours, one can forget about him. The real experiences
They are not that way. I have had real encounters with the Lord and with angels that are almost
so real now, as they were years ago, when I experienced them for the first time. I have had
many dreams and visions in which I saw the Lord or angels, but these would wither away
quickly. Except for some of my experiences, which I include in these books, these
prophetic episodes wilted like revelations instead of getting stronger like
the real encounters.

It was for this reason that I tried to pinpoint what I was experiencing so quickly as
I was able to do it after having them. In some cases, I was not able to do this. When I was able to
find a place where I could write them down, my memory of them had already begun to
to wither. I felt the Holy Spirit helping me bring things to my memory, but

effort to try to prevent this from happening; I acknowledge the possibility that this tends to happen in
some cases. For this reason, my incessant prayer while writing this book has been for

to lead us to the Truth and to Jesus. My prayer is that you will discern what is the truth, and what
it is of Jesus, quickly taking what is and discarding what is not.

The Infallibility of the Scriptures.

Although there are many places where I tried to write the words of the Lord
exactly as when they were spoken, this is not any Scripture, and I don't think that
any prophetic experience bears the weight of Scripture. Even so, prophecy is very
important for the church, or we would not have been urged by the Scriptures to 'Follow love,

Desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.' (1 Cor 14: 1). It tells us that

infallible, that's why we must judge the prophecies. However, prophecy builds up. The

Like a saint. But since it comes through human beings, it should not be considered infallible.

The Scriptures, as they were originally written, are infallible. They are the rock of
the truth and the pure revelation of God and His ways, in which we can build our
lives, with the assurance that the Scripture will endure forever. I see prophecy more like the

I have sought the gift of prophecy for many years. I arranged this from the obedience to the

they seemed almost completely disinterested in me, or in the commotion that was happening in
the wall. Then I remembered that they could not see far. A young black man stopped at
my path, and looked at me with bright, inquisitive eyes.

The value of Vision

As I looked at Esteban, to make sure he was listening, I was moved by

how open and teachable he was, in striking contrast with the teacher who was the same age as him.
This man will be a true master, I thought. Then I continued.

In fact, they are some of the most stuck people I know here. Why?

That's a good question, and I can only tell you what I've learned in my own
way. I think each case is different, but there are many who know His name, but not
they know Him. Instead of getting closer to Him, and being changed in His presence as He is,
they try to make it in their image. Knowing the name of Jesus is simply much more than just knowing
Delete it or say it. It is to know who He really is. This is the source of true faith.

I could still see doubt in Esteban's eyes, but it was the good kind of doubt; the
that leads him to believe, instead of the type that makes him disbelieve. I continued.

There are others who truly love Jesus and sincerely try to know him, but
they also remain prisoners. These are the ones who allowed the wounds or mistakes
those suffered along the way make them retreat. These have tasted freedom, but they returned to the
prison due to disappointments or failures. You can easily recognize them because they always
they are talking about the past instead of the future. If they kept walking towards their vision,
they would not be looking back.

"Me he encontrado muchos de aquellos", comento Esteban.

You need to understand something if you are going to answer this question in life. If you are going to fulfill
your destiny, you cannot be too discouraged or be encouraged by others who use the name of
Jesus. We are not called to put our faith in His people, but in Him. Even the most
great souls will disappoint us at times, because they are still human.

Many who are like those I just described can also become
great souls. Their vision and faith can be restored, even in those who are
disheartened and disappointed. As a treasure hunter, this is your job. We cannot
discard any human being; they are all treasures of Him. However, to know Him
truly and walk in true faith, you should not judge Him by His people; nor by the best or

he shouted, "What is the wall made of?"

Without looking back, he shouted again, 'Would you help me lift it?'

I knew I was going to do it, I went to the wall and quickly climbed to be able to find him on the other side.

I knew that Esteban would be thirsty, so I waited for him by a stream. When he arrived there,
I was a little surprised to see myself, but very happy. I was that surprised to see the
change in him. It was not only his eyes that shone more intensely and clearly than before, but that

Esteban looked at me with a focus and brightness in his eyes that were wonderful. Those

The Army
Suddenly, I was standing on a high mountain, looking at a vast plain. In front of me, there was
an army marching on a wide front. There were 12 divisions in the vanguard that
stood out remarkably from the large crowd of soldiers that followed behind. These divisions
they were divided into what I assumed were regiments, battalions, companies, and squadrons. The
divisions were distinguished by their standards, and the regiments were distinguished by their uniforms
in different colors.

The battalions, companies, and squadrons were distinguished by things like sashes or
breasts that each group wore. Everyone wore a polished armor like silver, shields
that seemed to be pure gold, and weapons that were made of silver and gold. The banners were large, made of
30 to 40 feet long. When the soldiers marched, their armor and weapons reflected the
only like lightning, and the banners and at their feet seemed like rolling thunder. Never
I had never seen anything like this on earth before.

He was close enough to see their faces; men and women, old and young of
each race. There was a fierce determination on their faces, they did not seem tense. The war was in the
air, but in the lines I could realize a peace so deep, that I knew that not a single one
I feared the battle they were marching to. The spiritual atmosphere I felt when I...
As he approached them, he was as imposing as his appearance.

I was looking at their uniforms. The colors were smart. Each soldier also wore
rank insignias and medals. The generals and other high-ranking officials
were marching in line with the others. Although it was obvious that those with higher rank were
to the cargo, no one seemed to be too sensitive to his rank. From the highest-ranking officer of the
hierarchical classification at the lowest, they all seemed to be close friends. It was an army that
They seemed to have an unprecedented discipline, they even seemed to be like a big family.

ambition or pride in any of the officers. He was stunned to see so many who were unique,
still walking in harmony and marching at a perfect pace. He was sure that he had never

like the first, this one was also an imposing army due to its size. This group
it also had banners, but these were not as large and impressive as those of the first
group. They all had uniforms and ranks, but I was surprised that many of them did not

and they had purpose, but they barely had the focus of the first group. These seemed much more
dependent on their own rank and the rank of those around them.

I felt that this was a distraction that prevented my focus. It could also give me...
the account of ambition and jealousy in the lines, which were undoubtedly a great distraction.
Still, I felt that this second division had a higher level of devotion and purpose than
any other army on earth. This was also a very powerful force.

Behind this second army, there was a third one marching behind the two.
first armies, I was sure they could not see the groups in front of them. This group was
much larger than the first and second combined armies, apparently composed
for millions. When I looked from a distance, this army moved in different
directions, like a large flock of birds, would sweep first down one path and then down the
next; never moving in a straight line for long. Due to this movement
erratic, they were moving further and further away from the first two groups.

As I got closer, I saw that these soldiers were wearing gray uniforms and
tattered, wrinkled, and dirty. Almost all were bleeding and had wounds. Some were
trying to march, but most were only walking in the same direction as the others who
they went ahead. The constant struggles for leadership caused many of the wounds.
Some of the soldiers were trying to stay close to the tattered standards far away from

clear because they constantly went from one banner to another.

In this third army, I was surprised that there were only two ranks; generals and
officers. Only some wore a piece of armor, and I didn't see any weapon except
toy weapons that were carried by the generals. The generals waved these
weapons as if having them made the officers special, even those in the
lines could say that the weapons were not real. This was sad because it was obvious that those
in the lines they desperately wanted to find someone who was real, someone whom they

disinterest, as in the first army, but because there was little affection. I thought that in the end, because

with someone else, what the small groups around the banners were doing
constantly. I could see then that the battles inside the lines were the cause of the great
sweeping, erratic changes of direction that this group would occasionally make.

As I watched the millions in the last group, I felt that even with their greatness

they would be more of an obligation than a resource. Sustaining them simply with food and
protection would cost more in resources than any value they could add to the

more than many generals of the third. He couldn't understand why the first allowed this one
group to be next to them, or even behind. They were obviously not real soldiers.
The Wisdom of Zephora

Suddenly, I was on a mountain from where I could see the whole army. When
I looked, I noticed that the plain was dry and dusty in front of the army, but immediately
after the first twelve divisions passed, the land turned dark green, with trees
that provided shade and produced fruit and pure streams that flowed across the land. This
the army was restoring the land. I was thinking how different it was from what was happening
when one of the armies of the world was crossing the land. They would steal and pillage the land
wherever they had marched.

I watched as the second divisions passed over the same land. They

that they would have passed. The grass was no longer so green, the streams were muddy, and
much of the fruit had been taken.

So I saw what happened when the third group passed through the same land. The grass
had disappeared, or had been trampled so much that it could not be seen. The few trees that
they were stripped. The streams were contaminated. The bridges were broken and
untranslatable. The buildings were left trembling. It seemed that this group had undone everything
good that the first two had done. As I watched them, anger grew inside me.

I felt Wisdom standing next to me. He did not say anything for a long time,
but I could tell that he was also angry.

Selfishness destroys,

they follow me, but do not know me or walk in My ways. These destroy the fruit of
those who follow me. Because of this, the world does not know whether to consider My people a
blessing or a curse.

As Wisdom said this, she felt an immense warmth coming from Him and it
it intensified until it was so painful that it was hard for me to concentrate on what He was
saying. Even so, I knew that I was feeling what He was feeling and that this was a part
important of the message that he was transmitting to me. The pain was a combination of

strong that I felt as if they were branding me with an iron.

on the way to Egypt, in obedience to the Lord. The Lord sought to put him face to face with death, until
his wife, Zefora, circumcised their son. He had never understood this until now. Because the

about him, who had defeated Israel because he did not know how to discipline his children. "Lord, raise

I continued burning myself, and a deep determination took hold of me to go to the

with so much weight.

Lord, I felt your anger towards this group. If almost Your army is now in this condition,
I am simply grateful that You did not destroy all of us. When I was
looking at this third group, I felt that their deplorable condition was due to a lack of
training, equipment and vision, as well as a failure to embrace the cross that circumcises
the heart. I think I should give them a message like Zefora's, but they also need
sergeants and officials who train them.

Wisdom continued, 'Remember the first army you saw before arriving at the
mountain. They, too, were unprepared for battle, and when the battle

their armors on and their deceptions were replaced with the truth. The first two
groups in this army were also changed by battles that awakened their true
condition. Then they cried out to me and I sent them shepherds from My own heart.

Then I asked in my heart, if we are in the conditions of the third group, what
Would it be done with the generals who did not seem to be real generals at all?

You're right, they are not real generals,

but they named themselves. Still, some of them will change and I will make them
generals. Others will be useful officials. However, most will flee when they see the first
battle, and you will not see them again.

Remember this: At the same time, everyone in the first two groups was part of
last group. When you go with Zefora's message declaring that I will no longer tolerate the
carnality of My people, those whom I have truly called and have consecrated themselves
They will not run away from My circumcision but will stand against carnality in
the camp so that I do not have to bring judgment upon them. My pastors are responsible
for the condition of My sheep. My generals are responsible for the condition of My
soldiers. Those whom I have called will take this responsibility because they love me,
they love my village, and they love righteousness.

So he was no longer before the Judgment Seat, but on the mountain observing from

pain and the anger that he had found before.

The City
Then I stood on top of another mountain, watching the city. The glory of this
the city was beyond anything I had ever seen or imagined before. While each
building and each house were unique and beautiful, with an impressive symmetry among themselves and with the
surrounding fields, mountains, and water sources. It was almost as if the city grew as if
outside a plant instead of being built. I felt like I was looking at something that had been
built by a race that had not fallen and had walked with righteousness and purity of
Adam and Eve in the beginning.

One notable feature was the number of large glass windows in each of
the structures or dwellings. This glass was very clear and clean; the windows and doors were
situated in such a way that he was not only welcomed in every home, but invited as well. He was also
as if nothing was hidden, and there was no danger of anything being stolen.

Then I looked at the people in the city. They seemed familiar to me, but at the same
I knew that I had never encountered any of them. They were just like me

almost total understanding, even an intellectual depth beyond what most have
people had never known. I knew that this was the result of an order and a peace that
I was completely free of confusion or doubt, or perhaps of the confusion of doubt. There was no
no ambition, everyone was so sure and had so much joy being who they were and doing
what I was doing. Since everyone here was free, they were also completely open. The
poverty or illness seemed incomprehensible.

I was looking at the streets of this city. There were many important roads in the center.
they all went in the same direction, and many smaller roads that connected them
big highways. When I looked at one of the biggest highways, I was imparted
knowledge about the truth of holiness. I looked at another road and I knew the truth about the
health. While looking at another, I began to understand things about the trial. Looking at each
road, understood a different truth. I then realized that each road was a path
toward the truth. The people who walked and stayed in each one seemed to reflect the
truth of that road.

The Call- -Rick

The Call Rick Joyner
Joyner 57
 My attention turned to the multitude of streets that connected the roads. When
I looked at each one of these, I felt an impartation of the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace or
patience. These arrived as feelings instead of the understanding that came when
I was looking at the roads.

I noticed that while some of these streets connected to each highway, some of the
roads only had one or two streets connected to them. For example, you could only get to the
Holiness Road walking down Love Street. I could only reach the Road of
Judgment walking in the streets of Love or Joy. However, the Road of Grace
was connected to all these streets. To follow any of the Highways of Truth, I had to
like walking down a street named after one of the fruits of the Spirit.

People were walking along the roads and streets, while some were
sitting on their edges. Some lived in the houses that were on a street or a
road, and others were building houses on them. Those who were living in the houses
they constantly served food and drinks to those who were walking or sitting.
I then noticed that there was no restaurant, hotel, or hospital in the city. I understood.
quickly that none of these were necessary because each house was a center of hospitality
and health.

Almost every house was open for travelers. Those that were not open were
used for special purposes, such as studies, or long-term healings. Me

reason. Still, I couldn't imagine a more wonderful place for this great ministry of
hospitality, aid or health care, even those that were being built on the Road
of the Trial, seemed to be the site of most activity. This is why this road was still
moving. It was apparent that every street was not only safe, but more desirable than
any other road or highway that I had ever seen, even in parks of the
thematic. This city was more glorious than any utopia the philosophers could have imagined.
conceived.

My attention was once again drawn to the Road of Judgment. It seemed to have been
the road that was traveled the least, but now it was becoming much more active.
Then I saw that this was because the other streets and roads flowed into this one. However,
although Judgment Road was becoming the center of activity, people still
they seemed hesitant to enter it.

As I looked towards the end of the Road, I could see that the path was
on a steep slope, and there was a high mountain at the end that was enveloped in a subtle glory,
but deep. I knew that if people could see the end of this path, they would have
I had spent much more time traveling in it. I then understood that I was drawn to
this path because I had the same feeling towards it as towards the Great Hall of Judgment.
I knew this was the path that led me to know the Lord as the Righteous Judge.

The bond of Peace

I wondered if this city was heaven, or the New Jerusalem. Then I observed that
although these people were far from the stature of any of those he had seen in the

The Builders of the Lord

As Wisdom spoke, my eyes were opened to see the most beautiful valley that
I would have seen it once. The mountains that formed the valley itself were greener than
any green that I could remember or have seen. The stones were like fortresses made of
silver; the trees were perfect and full. There was a river in the middle fed by streams that
flowed from every mountain around him. The water sparkled with a blue, which was the bluest hue
that I had seen and beautifully matched with the sky once. Each blade of grass was
perfect. The valley was filled with many types of animals, all of them seemed to be the best of
his purebred without diseases or scars. They fit perfectly with the valley and among themselves.
I had never seen such a desirable place on earth.

I wondered if I was seeing the Garden of Eden, and then I saw some soldiers with their
full armor, who were inspecting the valley. Other soldiers were following
each stream towards the river, and following the river then to the place where the first soldiers
they were inspecting. At first, I didn't think the soldiers fit in at all with this
place, but somehow, I quickly felt comfortable with them because I knew of some
so they were supposed to be there.

I looked at the soldiers. They were rough and hardened by battles, but
still kind and approachable. They were fierce and resolute, although they seemed to be in perfect

although war is always terrible, if I had to go into battle, there was no other group of
soldiers next to whom I would like to fight.

they moved with such grace, as if they were not carrying
no armor at all. I could say they were both shiny and strong, much more
that anyone would have seen before in their life. The armors also seemed to be a
perfect combination with the colors of water, the mountains, and the blue sky; that soon
I understood that they were the purest reflection of these colors I had ever seen. The very

The Scriptures are the blueprint for His dwelling that He is building among

to even enter the smallest and saddest place of worship on earth. I was overwhelmed by the
fact that we could truly touch the Father. A person who worships Him on earth
during these dark times, it means more to the Father than the millions and millions that he
they adore in heaven. From the earth, we could touch His heart at this moment as
we could never do it again!. I was hit by this in such a way that I didn't even realize
"it tells that I had fallen prostrate. Then I entered as if in a deep dream."

I saw the Father. Millions and millions were assisting Him. His glory was so great and He

millions of living stars. Everything in His presence had life, His crown, His scepter. I knew that
I could dwell before Him forever, and I would never cease to be amazed; there was no reason

Then the Father turned and tried to do one thing. Everyone in heaven seemed

in the small and battered room. Everyone was experiencing severe trials in their lives,
but they weren't even thinking about them here. They weren't praying for their needs.
They were all trying to compose songs of thanksgiving to the Lord. They were
happy, and their joy was genuine.

I saw the sky, and the whole sky was crying. Then I saw the Father again and I knew by
what the sky was crying, was due to the tears in the Father's eyes. This little

what He felt for these few worshippers, I could not contain my own tears.

Nothing I had experienced moved me more than this scene. To worship the
Lord on earth, was now more desirable for me than dwelling in all the glory of heaven. I knew
that I had been given a message that could help prepare the saints for the battles
that remained on earth, but now this did not mean as much to me as teaching the way
in which we could reach the Father. Genuine worship, even by the most humble believer in
the earth could cause rejoicing throughout heaven, but even more than that, it touches the Father. For
these angels have more burdens for a single believer on earth than for having authority

I saw Jesus standing next to the Father. Contemplating the joy of the Father while
I was observing a small prayer meeting, He turned to me and said, 'This is why I went to the cross.'
Giving joy to My Father simply for a moment was worth it. Your worship can

all the cults of heaven. Here, where His glory is seen, the angels can do nothing but

He was standing once again next to Wisdom. He did not speak for a long time,
but I didn't need words. I needed to let flow what had simply saturated my
soul. I strove to probe the great privilege that had been given to us for simply
worshipers of the Father. For Him, the sun was like an atom and the galaxies like grains of sand.
