Let’s go up to heavenly place.

Let’s go up to heavenly place.

                          David S Youn윤석호

New time, Let’s share greetings for new year with thanks to Lord for giving us wonderful

new year…”I bless you all, the brides of Jesus wearing combet boots!!!”

Lord asks our new decision for new year showing marblous plan of French Mission Society

of BTJ in 2010.

For a lot of people of French Mission Society in Korea, Jesus accept us called as Jesus’ coworkers

and missionaries as believers who can use the power of Jesus’s name first in the morning of

new year,and he invites us to go forward glorious throne of Lord with our eye opened widely.

Praise the Lord who leads us to the glorious presence of God, gives us new power with

strong anointing of Holy Spirit and new vision of new year!

‘Come up through open gate!’….’Let’s share deeper and higher intimacy with me!’

Lord invites us to see spiritual world over the curtain this morning of new year.

Colossians 3: 1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above,

Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things

3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your^a life,

appears, then you also will appear

Colossiens 3: 1 Si donc vous êtes ressuscités avec Christ, cherchez les choses qui sont en haut,

où Christ est assis à la droite de Dieu. 2 Pensez aux choses qui sont en haut, et non point à celles

qui sont sur la terre. 3 Car vous êtes morts, et votre vie est cachée avec Christ en Dieu.

4 Quand Christ, qui est votre vie, apparaîtra, vous paraîtrez aussi alors avec lui en gloire.

Do you want to share bigger intimacy with Lord?

Or do you want to know him better and listen to his voice more often?

Deeper intimacy with Lord is the only thing to go toward super-natural area.

He wants to pull his people closer by giving them super-natural revelation.

First, let’s have bigger experience on the Lord removing fear of the thinking the manifestation

of Holy Spirit is magic, opening spiritual eye with faith and expectation.

Our hope for spiritual experience should be motivated by the passion to know, experience and

meet him. This is the thing about “Father may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation

so that you may know him better (Ephesians 1:17)”.

Ephesians 1:17I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father,

may give you the Spirit^f of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Éphésiens 1:17 Afin que le Dieu de notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ, le Père de gloire,

vous donne l'Esprit de sagesse, et de révélation, dans ce qui regarde sa connaissance;

If I can feel the Lord closer by tasting, touching and smelling the things in heaven,

that is the one I want.

That’s right! The more we see and experience kingdom of Lord, the more he want us to give

all ourselves to him.

He wants us to learn how to touch, approach and experience the unseen territory everyday.

I believe in God who love me and allows me to all him Abba Father in spite of a lot of faults

and mistakes.

When we call him, he answers in super-natural way not flesh way as he is spiritual existence

and he answers in creative way (Jeremiah 33:3).

Jeremiah 33: 3‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things

you do not know.’

Jérémie 33: 3 Crie vers moi, je te répondrai, et je te déclarerai des choses grandes et cachées,

lesquelles tu ne sais point.

Where is Jesus Christ now?

He is in spiritual world in heaven (Colossians).

From the beginning to the end of the Bible, we are able to know that it is natural and common

for believers have super-natural visiting of God. Abraham/ Ruth/ Jacob/ Moses/ Elijah/ Gideon/

Denial/ Ezekiel/ Peter/ John/ Mary and Joseph/ Phillip/ Elisa etc…all of them were visited

by angels.

How was the spiritual eye of Gehazi, the servant of Elisa, opened?

King of Syria dispatched big troops and surrounded the Castle of Dothan.

He purpose of the troops was to kill Prophet Elisa. Gehazi, the servant of Elisa was scared.

Because he saw the things by only flesh eye

However, Elisa saw spiritual world through his spiritual eye.

He saw real situation

2 Kings 6: 16“Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than

those who are with them.”  17And Elisha prayed,“O Lord, open his eyes so he may see.”

Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and

chariots of fire all around Elisha.

2 Rois 6: 16 Et il lui répondit : Ne crains point; car ceux qui sont avec nous, sont en plus grand

nombre que ceux qui sont avec eux. 17 Elisée donc pria, et dit : Je te prie, ô Eternel! ouvre ses

yeux, afin qu'il voie; et l'Eternel ouvrit les yeux du serviteur, et il vit, et voici la montagne était

pleine de chevaux, et de chariots de feu autour d'Elisée.

Will of Lord is to open our spiritual eye like Gegazi’s eye.

Don’t say there is not spiritual world only because you have never seen it.

Those fire horses and chariot were there in front of Gehazi from the beginning.

The whole thing he could see through the window was instant territory, chariots and

soldiers of Syria. They made him scared.

However, Elijah kept calmness and he was moved so much as those happened in spiritual level

not in flesh level.

God said “Be light” when creating the world. The light came from unseen territory.

Prophet Elisa prayed Gehazi’s eyes are opened and Gehazi could see spiritual territory suddenly.

That territory exists until today and it is here now.

Angels are right here and evil spirits are around the city.

Glory of heaven is surrounded and Kingdom of heaven is at hand (Mathew 4:17).

If we can’t distinguish the spirit who is fighting with us, we just shoot in the darkness.

“God, Give me eye of understanding. Open my spiritual eye.

Give me ear to listen and let me distinguish spirits!

I hope to communicate with Lord in super-natural way like I breathe!!!”

Hoping to see spiritual territory is Biblical.

Jesus prepared the way we can enter into heavenly world.

According to the words of Hebrew 4:16, we now get the way to go toward graceful throne bravely.

This is the grace of big rejoice. Bible says that we are citizens of heaven.

Ephesians 2: 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms

in Christ Jesus,

Éphésiens 2: 6 Et il nous a ressuscités ensemble, et nous a fait asseoir ensemble dans les [lieux]

célestes en Jésus-Christ;

I start with this word.

“I am here owing to faith. And I believe I’m in front of throne.

Because you said I can come toward.

I believe I am now there.

I now go to the territory of Lord’s throne!.

We feel our chin drops when we see living things for the forst time.

When we first see the glorious rainbow over the throne makes arch, we stand overwhelmed by

its dignity and we feel humble when we see 24 elders who bow lying down.

God provided us his palace and expect we use it freely.

When we die, we immediately will be moved to the place of God and will see the throne in the

heaven. There will be, as Apostle John saw, glorious place in heaven filled with unbelievable things.

Take a look at the picture in which heavenly people who praised burned alive with torches tied

in circular arena due to persecution of Romans, a lot of first church people including children and

women died a martyr praising bitten alive by lions and wild animals.

Right now, from the heaven, these martyrs and numerous witnesses are looking at our

generation (Hebrew 12:1).

“since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses”

“puisque nous sommes environnés d'une si grande nuée de témoins” Hébreux 12:1

The reason is because they are not here anymore. They already left.

They already run their race.

However, thankfully, we are blessed to have faithful race in this world now.

2 Corinthians 12 (Paul’s Vision and His Thorn)

12: 1I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and

revelations from the Lord. 2I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to

the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows.

3And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God

knows— 4was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is

not permitted to tell.

2 Corinthiens 12: 1 Certes il ne m'est pas convenable de me glorifier : car je viendrai jusqu'

aux visions et aux révélations du Seigneur. 2 Je connais un homme en Christ il y a quatorze

ans passés, (si ce fut en corps je ne sais; si ce fut hors du corps, je ne sais; Dieu le sait),

qui a été ravi jusques au troisième Ciel. 3 Et je sais qu'un tel homme (si ce fut en corps,

ou si ce fut hors du corps, je ne sais; Dieu le sait), 4 A été ravi en paradis, et a ouï des

secrets qu'il n'est pas permis à l'homme de révéler.

God says in different ways in different time.

Hebrews 1 : 1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and

in various ways

Hébreux 1 : 1 Dieu ayant anciennement parlé à nos pères par les Prophètes, à plusieurs fois,

et en plusieurs manières,

A thin veil separates flesh territory and spiritual world.

Do you know how we are close to super-natural territory, the spiritual world?

God sometimes allows us to glance backside of the veil.

“Lord! Just open this curtain!”

Devils play all kinds of tricks with crafty religious tricks in order to make us be out of

super-natural territory, not to approach.

Read carefully John 3:13.

John 3: 13No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—

the Son of Man

Jean 3: 13 Car personne n'est monté au ciel, sinon celui qui est descendu du ciel,

[savoir] le Fils de l'homme qui est au ciel

Where was Jesus when he said this word? He was on the earth and he said to the people.

Even he was in this world with disciples, he said he still belonged to heaven.

He went and came from heaven through ‘Jacob’s ledder”.

When Jesus was in this world, he owned open heaven so he freely approached to spiritual world.

“Experiencing both heaven and earth” Right there is unseen connection between two places.

John: 5:19-20

When Jesus was in this world, he did only things which God showed.

Is there the territory we can see the things being done by God before it is done?

We are being invited from this world to another territory of heaven.

The greatest weapon to work with power of heaven is to ask to open the curtain waiting for God.

God wants to show the plan of heaven to us.

Remember that we who living in this world, belong to heaven.

Several weeks ago, in the preach sharing the words “Opened heavenly gate”,

we reviewed the anointing of ‘Jacob’s ladder’ in Genesis 28:12 and John 1:51.

Notice that Jacob’s ladder is installed from the earth and goes up to the heaven.

Lord is inviting us who are in this earth to ‘come up here’.

Jesus is the Jacob’s ladder reaching to heaven and we can approach freely as angels did.

That is our work left under new promise.

Angels of God ascend and descend through Jesus. We are able to approach through him.

Heaven let us to come to graceful throne bravely (Hebrew 4:16) and invite us to come up

to heaven.

We were already invited to come up as often as we can.

Blood of Jesus prepared free gate for us.

We are spiritual priests who can enter whenever we want through precious blood of Jesus.

Ephesians 1:3 ‘Do you know the way to enter ‘with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places

in Christ’?

We experience the fullness by being with Jesus Christ in heavenly places.

We can approach super-natural blessings and heritages only when we experience the territory

of heaven.

New year day morning, heavenly territory accumulates huge richness like this and God wants

to open that super-natural treasure box for us.

John 3 :8The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes

from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Jean 3:8 Le vent souffle où il veut, et tu en entends le son; mais tu ne sais d'où il vient, ni où il va :

il en est ainsi de tout homme qui est né de l'Esprit.

Yes. Person born with Holy Spirit is the person who rides the wind of Holy Spirit.

‘You don’t believe even I talk about the things of the earth so how you can believe

if I talk on the things of heaven?’

Jesus told Nicodemus the necessity of understanding on the spiritual tings.

Born again is for seeing and listening to the things of spiritual world, understanding spiritual world

things and thinking about heavenly things in the earth.

Kingdom of heaven is in us.

Frankly, our thought on heaven is kind of somewhat wrong.

Heaven is real place we will go when we die. However it is more.

Experience of re-birth is everything about living in kingdom of heaven.- Seeing kingdom,

listening to heavenly things, ascending and descending are required for working heavenly things

in the earth and being co-workers of heaven. I want to emphasize this again.

That is the everything to make heaven and the earth become one at the same time.

Explanation on creation explains about ‘Heavens of heaven’.

Heaven means the place of heaven like ‘3rd floor heaven’ which is one of the place belonging

to heaven.

Heavenly place includes first, second and third heaven, abyss, heavenly courts, Hades and hell.

How are the people of these heavenly places?

Colossians 1:16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and

invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him

Colossiens 1:16 Car par lui ont été créées toutes les choses qui sont aux Cieux et en la terre,

les visibles et les invisibles, soit les Trônes, ou les Dominations, ou les Principautés,

ou les Puissances, toutes choses ont été créées par lui, et pour lui.

When od created the earth and people, He also created heavens and angels.

God created unseen territory and invites us to see with spiritual eyes.

How amazing it is if we can see sea of glass like crystal and angels as God opens our

spiritual eyes?

How do you think about that we experience the wonderful throne of Lord or experience

the heaven coming down to us?

Remember we are the chapel of Holy Spirit and throne of God is in the heaven.

God wants us to use our spiritual eye as he turns our spirits to inner part to make us

be calm and silent

Let him to talk to us through implication of believing, affect form the words, fantasies,

dreams, spiritual experiences and holy imaginations.

Where Jesus put his residence?

According to Colossians 1:26-27, Jesus put his residence inside us.

Colossians 1:26the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now

disclosed to the saints. 27To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the

glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossiens 1: 26 [Savoir] le mystère qui avait été caché dans tous les siècles et [dans] tous

les âges, mais qui est maintenant manifesté à ses Saints; 27 Auxquels Dieu a voulu donner

à connaître quelles [sont] les richesses de la gloire de ce mystère parmi les Gentils,

c'est à savoir Christ, [qui a été prêché] parmi vous, [et qui est] l'espérance de la gloire

Where Jesus seats? That’s the heavenly places.

Where is heavenly place? Right inside of us.

Do you want to go to throne of the Lord?

Go forward graceful throne with eye closed.

First, exercise to be aware of the heavenly world in us.

I am now in the heavenly world. Hallelujah!!!

The gate to the presence of God is our thoughts.

Are we ready to go up through Jacob’s ladder? Jesus is the ladder.

So, he invites us to come bravely.

Close your eyes and focus on him... He is there.

He is in us. Now is the time to think him as one spiritual existence.

Heaven is in me.

I am at the throne there.

I own the places of heaven and I can approach to all spiritual blessings from here.

Hallelujah!

!

Through the very first worship of New Year, let’s go forward to opened gate of heaven with

spiritual eye opened.

Let’s fo forward the place where Jesus is!!

 (Next time, I will share words of God, how the Bible says about kingdom of heaven,

heavenly space and super-natural territories, spiritual battle of second heaven and

third heaven of glorious throne, angels and their works and anointing of Holy Spirit

with my experiences.)
