Come to His banqueting table!

I heard the Lord say these words:
"This is a time for the feeding and receiving of My Word in deeper ways! Deeper than you've ever been before! For I will put a hunger in you, and I will put a thirst in you!"

I then heard further:
"Come to My banqueting table! Blessed are those who are invited to feast with Me! Eat and drink of My bread and My wine! There's an impartation upon those who are hungry and thirsty for My Word and My Spirit! There's an enlightening in those who are hungry and thirsty for My Word and My Spirit!"

Indeed, people of God, this is a time God is bringing you deeper! Deeper than you've ever been before! Deeper in the Word! Deeper in the Spirit! Don't miss this time and season! Because He is in the midst of imparting deeper things, and He is in the midst of enlightening His people to 'see' what they could not 'see' in the past!

Blessed are you, if you have been hungry and thirsty for more of Him! Because your time to eat and drink (of His Word and His Spirit) has come!

In Revelation 19:7-9, John wrote, '"Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife (bride) has made herself ready." And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. Then he (angel) said to me, "Write: Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!"'

The word 'supper' here is 'deipnon' in Greek, and it means 'chief meal (usually in the evening), feast, banquet', from the word 'dapane' meaning 'to feast'. Blessed are you, because as His people (i.e. the bride of Christ), you are called and invited! Though these verses are at an appointed time, you can have a 'foretaste' of what's in heaven, even right now!

See the words 'it was granted' here? As the bride of Christ, you have been granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright! Because you have been made righteous through faith! (see Romans 3:22-24)

In Psalm 23:5-6, David wrote, 'You (the Lord) prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever'.

The word 'table' here is 'shulkhawn' in Hebrew, literally meaning 'a spread of food and drink, a banquet', from the word 'shalach' meaning 'to spread, to lavish'. In the presence of the Lord, at His banqueting table, the enemies can only watch, but they cannot touch you!

In Isaiah 25:6, the Scripture says, 'On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined'. 

'On this mountain' in this verse is 'Mount Zion', which speaks of 'the presence of the Lord'. Here on this mountain, the Lord is preparing a sumptuous, lavish feast - the very best that He has reserved for those who come to Him and receive from Him! From this vantage point of the Lord, upon receiving His food (the Word) and His drink (the Spirit), you shall triumph, and you shall overcome every work of the enemy!

So, go ahead, people of God, upon receiving from Him, declare His Word by faith and let His Spirit lead you from here! When He says so, you say so! And as He moves, you move! You'll be sure to see many good days ahead, and even the deeper things that 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love Him' (1 Corinthians 2:9). In Jesus' name. Amen!
