"What You See Is What You Get!"

"What You See Is What You Get!"

"I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ.  I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet."  (Revelation 1:9-10) 

In Spiritual realms, "Seeing" into the known of God and unknown to man, is Vision at its finest manifestation.  It is a step into the powers, principalities, dominions, and dimensions in high places; and according to the Lord God of the universe, Jesus Christ our Lord, His visions declare the status of what is to come: "What You See Is What You Get!" 

Apostle John at 92 years of age, when he was

banished to the Isle of Patmos, 90 miles out

in the Aegean Sea after having been boiled in oil. 

The voice, as of a trumpet, was God Almighty; the voice said to John, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia ..."  (Revelation 1:11)  John wrote, and wrote, and wrote, and what he saw  ...  is what we will get!  John saw "what is, what was, and what is to come!" 

We are living in the Rapture generation, and it was prophesied that this people would "see!"  "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams."  (Acts 2:17)  We must nurture our children and grandchildren to move into the "SEE" realm.  You say, "How do we do that?"  Lead them deeply into the paths of righteousness; teach them about the prophets of old, read to them about John on the Isle of Patmos; and "plant" hunger in their souls to "SEE!" 

But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak

any more in his name," his word is in my heart

like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.  I am

weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

(Jeremiah 20:9)

 Like Fire shut up in my bones!  The Word of God, when it gets in your spirit, consumes your mind, emerges in groans from your soul, wakes you, calls to you, saturates you, and burns in you like a fire  ...  it must come out!  You say, "I don't know what in the world you are talking about."  It's called "hunger" for God, His Word, His kingdom, His souls, His voice, His deafening call  ...  it's what drove David to "spill" his soul in the moonlight; it was the impetus of Jeremiah's tears; it encompassed John in body, soul, spirit and mind; it turned John the Baptist into a rabid evangelist in the desert; it was a roaring flame in the Apostle Paul  ...  it's that "fire shut up in the bones"  ...  It has to do with the all powerful "feeling, embodying, partaking, and ingesting of God's Word!"  God's Word is addictive; the more we read it, the more we want it, the more we visualize it, the more we long for its prophecies, and thus, the more we long to "SEE!"

                                              

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,

to show unto his servants things which must shortly come 

to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his 

servant John: who bare record of the word of God, and of 

the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of 

this prophecy, and keep those things which are written 

therein: for the time is at hand."  

(Revelation 1:1-3)

The time is at hand!  What we're going to do for the Lord Jesus Christ, we must do now; and what we're going to "SEE" for the people of God and the souls to be reached, we must "SEE" now!  You say, "But, we have no control over what God gives us, or doesn't give us."  Oh, but we do!  Hunger, desire, sitting at His feet, talking to Him in the twilight, begging to "SEE" His Glory in the earth, are the things that move Him  ...  And, humbling ourselves draws Him!  How often do we actually ask to "SEE?"  

The time is at hand  ...  Visions, Dreams, Miracles, Signs, Wonders, Glory, Power, Dominion, New Church Order, Regions, Father of the Nations, Spirit upon all flesh, Worldwide Revival  ...  These are the "Winds moving the trees" for the Time At Hand!

Lord, we fall on our faces for a visitation of Your Spirit, we long for Your moving film of what is to come, and we want to apply an old saying to the hunger of our souls; we ask Lord, let it be so, and grant us your version of:  "What You See Is What You Get!"
