Glory
Then the “naysayers” shall be left dumbfounded, and from their mouths nary a peep shall be heard, for when they witness what I am about to do, those who doubted in My promise of rescue shall suddenly have a change in their heart.
But this abrupt alteration in their thinking shall only come because they saw Me do the miraculous, as these faithless children had severely underestimated the power of My authority. Then as a result, they assumed this election was over, and that I would allow the circumstances surrounding the presidency to go by unchallenged.
Then those who have remained steadfast in their belief that somehow I will come through, prepare yourselves to see Me move in response to your diligent prayers, for I have heard every voice that has cried out for My intervention.
Do not be troubled then, by the lateness of the hour, for this is when I do My best work, right in the middle of “impossible” and at the center of “it cannot be done”. For it always brings Me great pleasure to surprise My children with the fulfillment of what they had hoped for, when it appears to be out of their reach.
And so My children should not be asking if I have forgotten them, but should already be found celebrating our victory!
Therefore, with jubilant hearts extol My name, giving Me the due honor as your King, the Deliverer of this nation and her people. For just when it looked as though all was lost, I stepped in and made My will known.
“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!” Psalm 95:1

When the dark forces of evil seek to overtake My Beloved, I will be there to intervene, standing between them and the pursuing enemy.
Then, “…lift your heads, Oh you gates, for the King of Glory, shall ride in…” to save the day. With My fiery sword of justice drawn, I am ready to impale, with its steely edges of Truth, any who stand against My elect.
So be lifted up you ancient doors, for indeed the Lord your God, the Lord of Battle is already fighting on your behalf. Then watch as one by one the enemy’s lines begin falling; that solid perimeter which he thought impenetrable.
Because it appeared as if the entire Church had been lulled into a deep slumber, the enemy saw an opportune time to strike. Yet, he had forgotten that amongst the ekklesia lies a contingency of valiant warriors who are committed to My cause: those who march with their ‘High Commander’: the ones who make ready the way for His onslaught of victory.
Therefore, be lifted you everlasting doors, for with perfect timing I have arrived, bringing with Me the ruination of your enemies. Then with triumphant shouts, wave the banners of praise over this campaign, for surely the Lord your God has already won this battle.
Shout, “Hallelujah!” for the King of Glory has come to retake this nation as His possession, as the only One who shall rule over her lands!
“Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty— he is the King of glory.” Psalm 24:7-10

Isn’t there a meaning behind each person’s name? When a name is chosen for a child, isn’t the meaning something considered, thinking that when this term is spoken out loud it will shape the child’s identity, and play a part in who they will become?
Because everything I speak holds a deeper significance, words are not idle to Me. This means everything I say carries something profound. Therefore, when I give a name, it is a picture of the promise I have decreed over an individual, something I want to be known about that person. So just like with Abraham and Peter, it was important they were distinguished as My own and recognized as who I created them to be.
(“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:9-10)
So then, if My name is “Hallowed”, what does that say about Me?
It should be a clue to the position I hold, the standing I have amongst men. Yet, not in the idea of rigid which makes Me seem unapproachable, believing that I keep My children at a distance, as some religious beliefs say, applying a different sense to the word. When in all truth, My Son closed the gap between us and opened the way to all who desire entrance into My presence. However, some still choose to believe there is a coldness about Me when hearing this proper term, equating the meaning with something empty, like with sacred idols or enshrined buildings. So it is no wonder when this title is applied to Me by those who have made no real connection with My presence, that these are left feeling uninspired, without a desire to come any closer to My dwelling place.
But since My name is “Holy”, this is how I should be known, as the one who encompasses it in totality, generating awe in the hearts of those who have encountered My glory and splendor.
Yet, experiencing Me in a deeper way does not come through a ritualistic approach by praying words in a rote fashion, repeating each line over and over, hoping that if spoken in the correct order it will initiate a rapid response from Me. However, what many fail to recognize is that the first line of My prayer, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.” speaks to the approach of the petitioner, describes how I want them to address Me… as Father, thus establishing communication between us on a more intimate level. Though seeing My name as hallowed is the reverence their heart should hold, these need to know that drawing near to Me is always permitted, for I would never turn away any of My chosen.
What pleases Me most is to be with My children, to hear them call out My name. A simple request from a sincere heart is what holds My attention and turns My ear in their direction, not through wordy supplications filled with vain recitations. For the heart of one who subscribes to the latter, sees Me as a wish granter, keeping our relationship on a superficial level, like a genie in a bottle, wanting Me to make an appearance only to fill some desire they have for material gain, and missing the benefits of enjoying Me as anything more.
While it is important to pray, there are some things to consider when any of My children come before Me: How does your heart regard Me? Do you plainly see Me as Father, as the One who loves and adores you, who does not need verbose strings as the manner of expression between us?
Straightforward will do quite nicely as if having a conversation, an exchange between those who are close friends.
What I would like My children to keep in mind when seeking Me, is that I am completely engaged in each moment we spend together, and therefore hear every burden they carry. My listening skills are quite adept, so I am able to read between the lines and see into those places of need that they are not even aware exists. But I am ready to offer My assistance in those areas too, for the inner man is where My eye is focused and where My gaze rests.
Though “Holy” is the place I am standing, is who I am and how I exist, this position doesn’t keep Me from being accessible or set Me beyond their reach. For the actual truth is that My door is always open, so a little knock is fine to connect with Me. Then I will be happy to bid them welcome into My sanctuary, the place where we can fellowship together and simply talk.
“He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens of the saints and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.” Ephesians 2:17-20
