The Gatekeeper...





While on the brink of our annual Free 2 Enthrone Him seminar, I have it on my heart to post this photo.  A few weeks ago I had a dream where I was in my kitchen and it was perfectly clean except for a few crumbs that I was in the process of wiping from one of the counters .  The next moment Father walked in and brought His Son into the Kitchen with the words "You can legitimately date My Son".  This dream brought a profound breakthrough for me in a time of intense difficulty.  I was also reminded when Jesus washed his disciple's feet in John 13 he said to Peter "You are already clean, it’s just your feet that needs washing".  When I saw this photo I realised it carried the same message.  We are already washed by the blood of Jesus, and covered by Him - but we have to keep our gates clean.  It is at the gates of our spirit where the battle is fought.

It is my prayer, Lord that you will cover us with your Crown of Glory, give us the strength to clean and to turn back the battle at our gates…   

Isaiah 28:6

In that day the Lord of hosts will be
For a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty
To the remnant of His people,
For a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment,
And for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.
