Appointment in Jerusalem

Vision of the Four Living Creatures


In the Saturday night service, January 7, 2006, Pastor Shelley shared a vision he had had during the worship in the service three nights before.  Here are some excerpts:

On January the 4th, I was sitting here and the Lord showed me two things while we were worshipping and praising the Lord, and I've only shared one of them.  But I want you to listen very carefully, please, because I could not share it that night because it didn't feel right.  But I felt that I should share it tonight.

I saw a vision like I've really never seen before.  As I was standing there, I saw some angelic . . . from a distance it looked like some heavenly beings of some sort, but it was not very clear. And when I got closer to where they were, I was feeling such a Presence.  And we were all worshipping God.  And when I got . . .  I've never seen these.  I've seen a lot of things in the Spirit, but I have never seen this.

I recognized that what was standing just a few feet away from me in the Spirit was the same four Living Creatures that John had seen in the Spirit and Daniel saw, describing them very similar.  And they were not moving in a circular motion.  They were moving almost in a square or a rectangular motion.  But in the way they were moving - going this way a little bit and turning and coming back this way and moving like this - it looked more like a rectangular motion than a circular motion.  As Ezekiel saw them in a wheel, I saw them in a long box or rectangular-looking thing.

And when they each sort of reached the middle of the distance that they were walking, they were just parallel with one another, so that at all times there was one on the North and one on the South and one on the East and the West.  There was never a time that there were two on this side and one up here at the top and one over here.  But every time they sort of traded positions.

And the Spirit of God was so real for a few moments that I really almost felt paralyzed.  They never . . .  For a little while as they were moving, there was such worship and praise going on around where we were, but they never stopped doing what they were doing for some time.

And all of a sudden they came to a dead stop.  And I thought, "They're going to speak to me."  I started getting that bumping in my heart, chest, you know - that nervous . . .  And I thought, "They're going to speak to me."  And for a few more seconds they never moved, they never looked my way, they stood still almost as though they were at attention.  And all of a sudden, the one that was closest to me that would have been on the South end of this rectangular little shape that they were walking in, kind of moving in . . . he spun around - all the way around.  He was facing this way and he spun to the right and looked at me.  And I knew immediately what I was seeing.  I was seeing that Creature that is represented with the face of an Eagle.

And that's why I read the Scripture that I read about those four Living Creatures and the Anointing that they represented . . . How many of you remember that? . . . and how they also represent the writers of the four Gospels.  But they also represent an Anointing that was sent upon an age.  And it wasn't the face of a man - that was the Man Age or the Calf or Ox Age or the Lion Age.  But it was the one that had the face of an Eagle, because we need . . .  Remember, I preached a sermon on the Anointing of the Flying Eagle or the Flying Eagle Anointing - its Anointing to see into the Spirit realms and to soar into the high places of the Spirit.

And he just stared.  I felt myself swooning, getting weak in the knees and the legs, and I really thought I was going to fall down.  But I was still standing.  And he was the only one that spoke, and I want you to listen to what he said.  And then you go home and pray about it - see what you think.  But I don't believe it's outside of the Word.  You can judge it.

The one with the face of an Eagle spoke to me and he said, "We (speaking on behalf of the others) . . . we have an appointment with you . . ."  It's very hard for me to read this, although it's two lines.  He said, "We have an appointment with you in Jerusalem."  And then he was silent. We never quit looking at one another, but he was silent.  And then the next thing he said was, "The time draws near" - which is another real confirmation of what God has been speaking to us. "Now is the time.  This is the hour.  This is the season."

I don't know if you realize this or not, but there are changes that are taking place beneath the surface in people's lives.  There's a tenderness that's falling on many lives.  There's a stirring that's going on with people who have not long . . . it's been a long time since they were really stirred.  And it may not be manifesting by people jumping around or running around, but I see it.  I hear it in their voice and I sense and see that they've got a greater desire to do something in this ministry for the Lord.  And I know that it's God and I know that it's a confirmation that this is the time that God is going to position us.  We don't know what's going to happen.  But we have something so beautiful, so big, that we're holding before the Lord.

I don't know what this appointment could be, but I know what I heard.  "We have an appointment with you in Jerusalem."  So in God's time, I know He'll reveal the appointment.  For right now it's just enough for me to know that they have an appointment with me - that God would do something that . . . it's with Him, of course.  That's enough.  I can honestly say that after all these years of serving the Lord, just to know that God is going to meet me is enough.  I don't have to fret over when it is - just be sensitive to hear His Voice.  And you know, I believe God has appointments with you.  I don't believe there are big people and little people in the Kingdom of God.  We have different offices and callings, but I believe the Lord would want to meet with you. How many of you are ready to meet Him?  How many of you are ready to hear His Voice? Are you ready to do whatever the Lord tells you to do?

There's something deeper than what we could recognize with our natural eyes that's working in this service.  Hallelujah!
