Tomorrow Today

by Lynette Love

"We're worthy

"Children run to Jesus. He picks them up and blesses them. Adults watch. He walks up to the parents and looks at them with tenderness.

Encounters of Heaven photograph
Encounters of Heaven
The group of parents part in the middle, and I see behind them a person who comes forward - head down, unable to meet the Lord's eyes - he falls to his knees before Him. "I am so unworthy, Lord."

Jesus looks at him with compassion, lifts him to his feet and says, "You are so worthy, My son," and then points... As I turn to follow the direction where He points, I see Jesus hanging on the cross. He says, "It's what I've done for you that makes you worthy."

"... the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him"
Isaiah 53:6b"

Tomorrow Today is a series of excerpts from books by Lynette Love, who regularly encounters heaven - and Jesus - and Holy Spirit - and Father - now, in this life, today. 

My prayer is that you also might experience Him, and that in your own daily walk you might hear His voice, and see His face, and know His love - now, in this life, today.

Living the Dream

"$1.4M Property Provision

"Young non-profit organization moved into a rented building with just enough cash to cover the rent down payment. Couple months later the landlord comes to them and says “we are selling and you can have it for $1.4m.” Non profit freaks out as all they have is $15,000. “That can be the deposit,” says the landlord, “with a two week timeframe to confirm the detail and a three month settlement.”

Non profit goes to seven banks who all say “no.” Then reminded of a vision someone gave them of reaching into God’s storeroom, and accessing more than enough supply, because they are His children. Agrees with God and heart feels settled. Last bank comes back to them…”our creditors believe you are not a good investment.”

Regardless, leader goes on mission trip out of country for two weeks. On return there is an envelope received in the mail. Inside is a check from a Fidelity Fund anonymous donor for one million three hundred thousand. The instructions were to use it on whatever they had need. Next they took up a collection of $75,000 of donations from their organization members.

Couple days later they received another check in the mail from the same Fidelity Fund and anonymous donor for $100,000. MORE THAN ENOUGH. They ended settling on the building six weeks ahead of the original plan. Duncan Smith, Raleigh, NC (2012)"

"The Chief Cupcake Maker

"In a vision I am holding a box with a lid; I lift it, and to my delight, eight cupcakes that the Lord has given me are sitting there. The look so delicious; each one is different. One is chocolate, another orange.

Encounters with the King photograph
Encounters with the King
There is also a banana one and sitting alongside them is a lemon, raspberry, coffee, vanilla and a strawberry one. Each large cupcake is covered in swirls of creamy frosting and then topped with the most spectacular decorations I have ever seen. People are coming up to me, asking me for my cupcakes. I must say they do look mouth-wateringly yummy.

The Lord then says to me, "I am the chief Cupcake Maker; Yes you can give away your cupcakes as you know that you can come back to Me for more. But I tell you; send these precious ones directly to Me because I have a great storehouse full of pure delights and shelves full of many more cupcakes, all different flavours for each one.""

"Resting into Employment

"A graduate from the Heaven in Business track in Bethel’s School of Supernatural Ministry returned to her home in New Zealand. Before she got back she had confirmed work for the first 5 weeks but nothing following. She needed more work after that time period to get enough funds to return for the third year program back in Redding, CA:

“I was stressing out about how I was going to find more work for such a short period of time and then decided to read your book [God With You at Work]. Rest, rest, rest was the whole message I was getting so I decided to just trust God and rest in Him, after all, if He wanted me back for 3rd year, He was going to have to sort it out!

Not a day later, I got an email from the current place where I am relieving at, they had an extra 6 weeks of work for me - and I didn’t have to ask!
God is so good and this rest thing really works!” Jing Hui Lee, New Zealand (May, 2014)"

"Visions of Heaven - Jesus with stars in His hand

"I see the Lord Jesus and He stands over a big sea with stars in His hands. In front of Him more stars are being made. He is all light and glory. I see the still sea begin to move. There is fire in the sea, and then there is blood.

Encounters of Heaven photograph

A little later I see His head but no body. "Where's your body, my Lord?" I begin to see so many stars in a dark world.
"That is My body - the church shining for me." I see all stars come together into one light. I see nothing but light... no darkness at all."

Living the Dream

"Radical Generosity

"During a Saturday workshop the attendees split into groups and went out for lunch to local restaurants to see what God would do. One team of eight went to an Italian restaurant. The waitress was helpful but was not open to receive prayer. The team decided to surprise her with radical generosity.

One person paid the bill with a 20% tip on his credit card. The rest of the group put down cash that ended up totaling slightly more than the amount paid on the credit card - ie. overall more than a 120% tip. They scribbled ‘Thank you” on a napkin and went out of their way to verbally thank her as they walked out.

The next day, the credit card owner received a voice message from the waitress (he had left his business card). She was confused about the payment and letting him know that he had already paid the tip on his credit card and not sure if the cash was a mistake. She was happy to give it back and unsure what was going on. “Please call me back.”

Next step - credit card owner would love to explain personally by making another visit to the restaurant... Rich Lambert, Phoenix, NY (May, 2014)"

"I was enjoying the sunshine and as I walked past my tall sunflowers, the Lord spoke to me concerning them.

"My child, do you see the tall Sunflowers?"

"Yes Jesus, I do."

I could hear the laughter in my Lord's voice as he spoke to me.

"They have bright happy faces looking up into the sunshine of My light. I love the flowers that I have created."

With emotion in his voice, Jesus continued. "I would like to talk to you, My child, about My sunflowers. Their petals represent my children and I AM the centre. Notice the number of bees that are buzzing around the flowers. They are like those who are searching.

When My children abide in Me and I in them and they dwell in unity and love, a beautiful fragrance of Myself is released though them which people are attracted to."

"How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity."
Psalm 133:1
