The CALL

Chapter 13 - The Call

I looked at Wisdom, who then turned me around so that I could behold the Great Hall again. I was startled to see standing right behind me everyone whom I had previously met there. I was even more surprised by how much more glorious they now seemed.

They have not changed,

Wisdom said.

You have changed. Your eyes are opened to see more than you could before. The more clearly that you are able to see Me, the more you will be able to see Me in others.

I looked toward the Apostle Paul. He was regal beyond description. He had such great authority and dignity, but was at the same time so graced with humility that I am sure the lowest peasant or sinner would have felt completely comfortable approaching him.

The desire to be just like that flooded me. I then looked at the others and felt as if they were all the closest family and friends I had ever known. It is impossible to describe how I loved them and how I knew that they loved me.

No fellowship on earth could compare, but the best on earth was somehow a foretaste of this. There was no pretension, posturing or positioning. Everyone knew everyone else completely, and love was the source of every thought.

Eternity with this family was going to be even better than I had ever imagined. I desperately wanted to take all of them with me, but I knew that they could not leave their present domain.

Wisdom again answered my thoughts,

They will be with you as I am with you.

Remember, they are the great cloud of witnesses. Even when you do not see them, they are as close to you as they are now.

All who have served Me from the beginning are one body and they, too, will be with you in what is to come, but I will be in you.

I wondered how anything that we experienced in eternity could be better than what was to be found right here in the Judgment Hall.

The judgment came from every thought being made manifest. It was not a judgment of punishment, but liberation, if there was no attempt to hide anything.

Freedom came with everything that was illuminated so that there was a desire for every heart flaw to be exposed.

The love was so great that I knew everything would be covered and made right.

Everything that you feel in My presence is true, Wisdom continued. This love and closeness that you experience here with your brethren are real.

You are all one in Me, and you will grow in this love as you grow in Me. As you do, this same love will help others to enter the freedom you have experienced here.

When My people who now walk the earth embrace My true judgment, they will walk in a freedom that will enable Me to touch the world with My love. It is not My desire that any should perish or suffer loss when they come here.

I desire for all to judge themselves so that I will not have to judge them. That is why My judgments are about to come to the earth. They are coming in ever increasing waves, so that the world may believe and repent.

Each trumpet sound will be louder than the previous one. It is the job of My messengers to help the world understand the sound of the trumpets.

Remember that those with who I must walk on earth are also members of My body. They have not yet been glorified, but you must see them as they are called to be, not as they appear now.

You must love them and see the authority and grace in them that you now see in these. Remember that those with whom you walk on earth now see you as you see them.

You must learn not to see according to their present appearance, but see who they are to become. Only those who live by My judgments and abide with Me as their wisdom can see My authority in others.

Even so, do not strive to have men see My authority in you. Do not be concerned by whether others see you as you are; only be concerned about recognizing others as they are and seeing Me in them.

When you become concerned about how others see you, you lose your authority. When authority becomes your goal, you will begin to lose true authority.

You know the ministry and authority that I have given to you; do not ask people to call you by your position, but by your name. Then I will make your name greater than your position.

In My kingdom, authority comes from who you are, not your title.

Your ministry is your function, not your rank. Here rank is earned by humility, service and love.

The deacon who loves more is higher than the apostle who loves less. On earth, prophets may be used to shake the nations, but here they will be known by their love.

This is also your call-to love with My love and serve with My heart. Then we will be one.
