Angels Take Flight reminds us of the supernatural impact of our worship. We serve a God who delights in using the foolish things to confound the wise, so as we press in with abandoned joy and zealous passion heaven and earth align.

Psalm 22:3 (NLV) Yet You are holy. The praises Israel gives You are Your throne.

Ezekiel 1:19-28 (VOICE) The wheels went wherever the living creatures went: when the living creatures moved, the wheels stayed right beside them; when the living creatures rose up from the ground, the wheels rose with them. The living creatures went wherever the spirit directed, and the wheels stayed right beside them; for the spirit of the creatures directed the wheels. When the creatures moved, so did the wheels; when the creatures stood still, so did the wheels; when the creatures rose up from the ground, so did the wheels, because the spirit of the four living creatures was in the wheels.

Suspended above the living creatures was something like a broad expanse; it had an awesome gleam like a crystal ceiling and stretched wide over them. Beneath the expanse, the creatures stretched out their wings toward each other, and each creature had another pair of wings it used to cover both sides of its body. Whenever the creatures moved, I heard the violent fluttering of their wings, like roaring rapids, like the voice of God Almighty, like the sound of an army besieging a city. Whenever the creatures stopped, they lowered their wings to their sides. As they stood silent, with their wings lowered, a thunderous voice sounded high above the expanse over their heads.

And above that expanse over their heads was something that looked like a throne made of sapphire. Sitting on that throne high above the earth was a humanlike figure. From his waist up, I saw what looked to be glowing metal surrounded by an all-encompassing fire. Below his waist, I looked and saw something like a blazing fire. A glorious radiance was all around Him. The glorious radiance resembled a rainbow that lights up the clouds on a rainy day. This was nothing less than the glory of the Eternal that appeared to me. When I saw the vision of the Eternal and His glory, I fell upon my face and heard a voice speaking to me.

A “Word to Ponder” from The Quickened Word called “Moments in My Cloud” is connected to this.

There are times when you dance before Me, and you flow in the river of My Presence, that I stir each moment with life. Angels take flight even as your soul is enraptured with My nearness. Suddenly I am there as I visit you in My cloud. Breathe in and feel the vapor of My breath upon your face. Take a deeper dip in My river and feel the joy bubbles of the effervescence of My Spirit rise within your cells. Each shall come forth bursting with life while I surround you with tender caresses. Enjoy My Presence, My love, and let Me touch you with My tangible kisses of pure delight. For you are My delight and I Am near as you pour yourself out upon Me.

“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.” Song of Solomon 1:2 KJV

“Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” (Exodus 40:34 KJV)

The lyrics to “Revelation Song” by Kari Jobe are connected to this.

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You: the only wise King

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus, Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery

Oh, You’re worthy, mystery
You are worthy

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You
I will adore You

A Prophetic Nugget called “With Me Nothing is Out of Reach” from our Dyed4you Ministries blog is connected to this.

Philippians 4:13 (AMP) I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]

Beloved, I AM greater than you know and your strength is found in Me. I AM filled with seeming contradictions, using the foolish things to confound the wise. So rest in Me and grow strong. In your weakness, My strength is made perfect. You don’t have to be big and strong for I AM, and you have simply to be like Me.

Walk in My ways, follow My heart, and trust in Me – then see what I do. Suddenly the impossible is possible. Don’t discount any possibility because with Me nothing is out of reach. Yield to My will and My plans and you will see Me move through you in ways you couldn’t even imagine. Breathe Me in beloved. Worship with all your heart. Walk confidently in Me.

The name of the silk in this image is Unshakable Faith. It is comprised a combination of silk words: Confident Faith and Captivated by Your Presence. The heart behind this silk is a strength that has come through testing and an unflinching faith.

Father, help us as we concentrate on being in Your presence and pleasing You not to lose focus on the impact of our worship and partnership with heaven. Though we know You want our focus on You, we also know You want us to understand the effect our faith and surrendered hearts have in worship. We will not underestimate Your awesome power. We will not underestimate the part we play in Your Kingdom. We know that our intimacy with You brings authority from You and we seek to bring heaven to earth as we stand in agreement with Your heart.
