Don't Miss Your Upperroom Encounters

Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN”.

Open your Bible to the GOSPELS. You are about to see the past meet the future.

My prayer for you is that you don’t miss your UPPERROOM ENCOUNTERS.

I had a dream in the summer of 2020 I was on a track with so many others. I knew we were in a race and had been for quite some time. We were all tired. As I looked around me, I noticed many throwing up their white flags of surrender. I knew it was extremely important I kept going despite how tired I was. My pace never decreased.

Some of you are extremely tired from the battle and are throwing your white flags of surrender up. Sisters and brothers I want to encourage you to keep going. Go to the place where you can be totally rejuvenated. The UPPERROOM!

What was the UPPERROOM?

The UPPERROOM was a place where the disciples were told to WAIT by Jesus. WAIT for what?

Acts 1:4 “And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me”.

The scripture says Jesus said to WAIT for the PROMISE of the FATHER. The PROMISE being the HOLY SPIRIT.John 14:15-17 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you”.

When Jesus entered the UPPERROOM He found His disciples in doubt and faithless. They did not believe what He spoken previously. They did not believe He risen or would even be resurrected for that matter. They allowed what they seen and the things that were taking place all around them to speak louder than what Jesus said from the beginning.Jesus said to them PEACE BE TO YOU and as the FATHER has SENT Me, I SEND you! Then He breathed on them and said, “Receive the HOLY SPIRIT”.

After they received the Holy Spirit they were empowered to do what they couldn’t do before. They were able to stand and SPEAK TRUTH despite the persecution. They did it in power and in the power of the HOLY SPIRIT!We are in a place where we are waiting. Don't lose focus of what the Father spoke in the beginning.

Without your UPPERROOM ENCOUNTERS I can assure you will fold and surrender. You need the help of the Holy Spirit. You need to be empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Staying in a posture of fasting, prayer, and worship is ESSENTIAL. Some may need to take a hundred steps back from social media. What we allow in our spirit man is vital. (I, myself DO NOT go on a fast without the Holy Spirit leading. Why? I fast for real. No water and no food. Seek Him on how many days and how long you should fast each day. Let Him be your determining factor, not man.)

Get in a church that knows how to invade heaven and learn how to invade heaven on your own.

Straight WORSHIP.

REMEMBERING WHO YOUR FATHER IS!

DON’T MISS YOUR UPPERROOM ENCOUNTERS!
