Gates

What Gates are you willing to walk through to get to the presence of the Lord?

I dreamed last night of something so special.
In the perfection of the dream was trials, fires, forging, weaknesses, fear, a little bit of doubt, but there was steadfastness and Hope. And it was perfect. There was that of a solid Godly Soldier. Forged in the refining fire. Created for Gods army. Heaven and Earth.

I woke up to this scripture and I have prayed it all day. I’ve read it 25 times I know.

God showed me gates a while back. Ancient gates. The vulnerability of being lifted up.
Today as I read this I pray.
God I’m willing to walk through any Gates to get to you. To get to your Presence. To thank you and to give you glory. Because His Love endures forever. Enduring Love… sustains us!

Right now we are walking through a Gate that I never could have imagined walking through.
I’m reminded of all the “weaknesses” from my dream but yet the perfect beauty of the refining fire is where my attention goes. The point of the fire is to come out refined in His image. To help someone else find their way to Him.

“This is the Lords doings.”

So as I pray through today trying so hard not to question His plan but simply Trust this walk. He directs our steps. And all we can do is trust Him.
I wanted to leave you with that same question.

What gates are you willing to walk through to get to His Perfect Presence knowing fully someone’s salvation is on the other side because of His enduring Love?

”Open for me the gates where the righteous enter, and I will go in and thank the Lord. These gates lead to the presence of the Lord, and the godly enter there. I thank you for answering my prayer and giving me victory! The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Please, Lord, please save us. Please, Lord, please give us success. Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord. We bless you from the house of the Lord. The Lord is God, shining upon us. Take the sacrifice and bind it with cords on the altar. You are my God, and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will exalt you! Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.“
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118‬:‭19‬-‭29‬ ‭NLT‬‬
