    A Temporary Throne – 8

     CHAPTER 8

    YOU HAVE NOT LIFE EXCEPT I GRANT.

     

    Job 6: 8 “Oh, that I might have my request,
    That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
    9 That it would please God to crush me,
    That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

    I smiled in love, as I bowed my head in thankfulness.

    And my mouth was opened, as the joy of the Lord’s grace overflowed from my heart.

    “Thank you, Lord, for your mercy and grace.”

    I looked up toward our Lord God’s loving Face. (I cannot describe the Image of His loving countenance.)

    SPEAK WITH ME, ROGER.

    AGAIN, the Lord spoke to me personally; this time FACE to face, as I stood before the LORD at the THRONE of Heaven.

    “Lord, I am broken by your silence to my prayer.”

    SILENCE… I stood still… as it seemed time itself stood still.

    The Lord smiled warmly and looked deeply into my soul.

    “Lord, You have Eternity, yet You measure my mortal days.”

    Continued SILENCE…

    “I would witness your love in my remaining days; yet You, Lord, remain silent in answer to my prayers.”

    A Temporary Throne – 7

    [I thank you, Lord, for hearing and answering our prayers.]

    CHAPTER 7

    STAND ON YOUR FEET AND I WILL SPEAK WITH YOU.

    The Lord’s words to Ezekiel had been:

    Ezekiel 2: NKJV And He said to me,
    “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”
    2 Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.

    And that is exactly what happened to me! The Spirit set me on my feet before the THRONE of God.

    To be clear, “son of man” means born of man, ‘adam,’ literally used for all born in the image of God. God clearly addresses Prophets, who must speak the Perfect words of God perfectly, as: “son of man.” Son of Man is also Jesus’ most frequent designation for Himself. HE IS literally speaking as PERFECT SON OF MAN (born of Mary, descendant of ‘adam), speaking the PERFECT WORD OF GOD, as GOD’S PERFECT PROPHET.

    Yet in the depth of my heart I had heard the LORD address me by name through His grace. Like the Apostle John, I no longer had fear, because I knew the Voice I heard. Yet still in awe of the Person of God, I had not considered the heavenly Power of the Spirit to pick me up and set me on my feet.

    As I was brought from below the THRONE and set on my feet, my heart filled with joy and NOT FEAR. I worshiped Jesus in my heart for the Word of God commanding:

    “I WILL SPEAK WITH YOU.”

    A Temporary Throne – 6

     CHAPTER 6

    PRAYER:

    An interlude of refreshment…

    Matthew 11: 27 All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
    28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
    29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

    The LORD told me to close this book for a moment of rest. Prayer is rest. Prayer is refreshment. The rest is the same as the rest for which Hannah gave thanks to the Lord for returning her strength. It is by God’s answer that we receive the rest of God.

    PRAYER is the conversation between a PERSONAL GOD, with the man of His Creation. PRAYER is more than asking: PRAYER is LISTENING to GOD.

    Revelation 14: ESV “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”
    “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

    I pray to God: for you, personally. [Let us pray: …]
