Open Vision: The Fear of the Lord Is Coming in Great Glory and Power

WANDA ALGER  CHARISMA NEWS
Given some recent events that are making national headlines, I feel compelled to share a dream I had in 2015 in which I had an open vision of the coming days. The weight of its message was clear, and I believe we are getting closer and closer to a shift we could never imagine and a reality we've never known.
I was walking down a road with many people. All of the sudden behind my right shoulder, a huge golden beam of light from the heavens shone down and began to move across the sky in front of me from right to left. It was massive, and it was evident it was not manmade but from another realm. It began to engulf everything it touched.
At the same time, I looked up to my right, and in the skies was a huge screen that opened up in front of me. On it, I saw a map of the world. It was as if I were seeing and experiencing this phenomenon from two different dimensions. I saw this all-encompassing golden light start at the eastern part of the map near Australia and it began to slowly move west across the entire globe. The light filled the entire sky and was full of glory and power. It seemed to move across the center of the map, touching different countries at varying degrees. I knew that what I was seeing and experiencing was global and affecting everyone everywhere.
I heard myself shouting "It's happening! It's happening!" and my heart began to race with excitement. This light was multi-dimensional. It not only went across the surface of the earth but went underneath in varying degrees of color and richness. The more it penetrated, the deeper its color and impact. It was powerful, distinct and moved with ultimate authority.
I was immediately overwhelmed with joy and awe and fell to my knees as I realized the immensity of what was happening. I cried out, "It's a sign! Get ready!" I knew it was the weight of His glory covering the earth. Yet, even as I was filled with wonder and awe I could sense the fear around me, the uncertainty of what was taking place. Though half of the people were caught up in worship and adoration, the other half were on their knees in absolute terror. As people looked up, dazed and in shock of what was taking place, I shouted out without hesitation, "It's coming! Yes!" I could see that for those who were not ready, it was bringing dread and fear. But, for those who believed...it was going to be awesome!
I realized then that the fear of the Lord was coming in great glory and power, and everything in its path was going to be affected. Depending on the state of each one's heart, this move would bring either worship and awe, or fear and dread.
This dream not only signaled a charge on my life to sound an alarm to the church but fueled my passion to call us up higher in holiness so that we can see the Lord in His fullness (Heb. 12:14). I see the Bridegroom, the captain of the hosts, standing in the heavens with fire in His eyes as He looks upon the earth. His heart burns with fierce love for His bride and His absolute determination to cover the earth with the knowledge of His Father's glory. He sees the sin, the compromise, the lack of holiness and righteousness—in the church. It is the zeal of the Lord that will compel Him to come in an unprecedented move of the Spirit, which will carry the fear and terror of the Lord in such great power and presence that everyone will fall to their knees.
"There they were in great fear, for God is with the generation of the righteous" (Ps. 14:5).
This is not the rapture or the return of Jesus. This is a move of the Spirit that will utterly change everything and everyone in such a way, we will no longer do life as we did before.
It will be a wake-up call, demonstrating the reality of His kingdom authority and power. It will not be like any other past moves of the Holy Spirit. It will not limit itself to a few hungry souls, but will permeate and saturate all in its path. Jesus is set on revealing the full weight of His Father's love, power and holiness in order to energize and empower His bride for the work ahead. This move will destroy all double-mindedness, self-righteousness, greed, pride and self-promotion. This move will cleanse us, refine us, purify us and deliver us from the evil one's deception and trickery. It will expose those who are right with God and those who are not. It will shine the light in the darkness and all the rats and rodents of wickedness in high places will be scrambling for protection, only to find they have been utterly unseated and undone.
This move of the fear and terror of the Lord will turn things inside out and upside down, for the rules will change. It will no longer be the kingdoms of this world that will determine the course of history, but the kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His ultimate authority as King of the earth will be made manifest, and those who serve Him out of a pure heart will be given even greater access, favor and heavenly authority to rule in the midst of His enemies (Ps. 110:1-2). That which was by faith will now be made visible, and heaven's justice will be executed on the earth as He makes our enemies His footstool. But, it will not come without cost.
Things that are taking place, even now, should serve as a reminder that no one is exempt from trial, hardship or pain. Being a follower of Christ does not guarantee an easy road or carefree journey (Matt. 5:44-45). Those who are selling that kind of walk are peddlers and fools. The only "safe" place on this side of heaven is to be under the shelter of the most high God (Ps. 91). The access to that place is through righteousness and a holy life. There are no shortcuts. It is only as we rightly fear the Lord that we are kept from the enemy's hold and assured of a righteous reward.
"Who is the man who fears the Lord? He will teach him in the way He should choose. He will dwell at ease, and his descendants will inherit the land. The counsel of the Lord is with those who fear him, and He will make His covenant known to them" (Ps. 25:12-14).
We must be prepared. When this move comes, will we be on our knees in worship or on our knees in terror? Will we rejoice at the tangible presence of His power and glory or will we tremble in fear due to the sin and compromise in our lives? Now is the time to turn away from excuses and apathy. Now is the time to embrace the cross and lay down any sense of entitlement to our lives. The Father is calling for absolute obedience, surrender and holiness. There are no grey areas in His presence. He is about to burn up all His enemies and utterly consume the lies, the strongholds and the idolatry that is poisoning the church.
There will be no doubt when this move comes, and none will be able to deny His presence. The only question will be if we are ready. Pray that the fear of the Lord would grip our hearts, even now, and draw us closer to His throne of grace so we can worship Him in awe and trembling at His glorious coming.
