The Vision by Rick Joyner Episode 35
Judgment's Door
I leaned against the wall, thinking that the eagle was not here when I needed him the most. He had gone this way before and would know which door to choose. But I knew he would not come back, and I knew it was right that I choose.
As I pondered my options, the "terrible door" was the only one 1 could think of. Out of curiosity I decided to go back and look at it. I had departed from it so fast the first time that I had not even noticed which truth it represented.
As I approached it, I could feel the fear welling up inside me, but not nearly as intensely as the first time. Unlike the other doors, it was very dark around this one, and I had to get very close to read the truth written over it. Mildly surprised, I read "THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST."
"Why is this truth so fearful?" I asked aloud, knowing that the angels would not answer me. As I continued looking at it, I knew that it was the one I should go through.
"There are many reasons it is fearful," the familiar
voice of the eagle responded.
"I'm very glad you came back," I replied. "Have I made a poor choice?"
"No! You have chosen well," the eagle assured me.
"This door will take you back to the top of the mountain faster than any other. It is fearful because the greatest fear in the creation has its source through that door. The greates wisdom that men can know in this life, or in the life to come is also found through that door. Even so, very few are willing to go through it."
"But why is this door so dark?" I asked. "The light of these doors reflects the attention that the church is presently giving to the truths behind them. The truth behind that door is one of the most neglected of these times, yet it is one of the most important. You will understand when you enter. The greatest authority that men can receive will be entrusted only to those who will go through this door. When you see Christ Jesus sitting on this throne, you will be prepared to sit with Him on it, too."
"Then this door would not be so dark and foreboding if we had just given more attention to this truth?" I asked.
"That is correct. If men knew the glory that is revealed behind that door, it would be one of the most brilliant," the eagle lamented. "However, it is still a difficult door to pass through. I was told to return and encourage you, because soon you will need it. You will see a greater glory, but also a greater terror than you have ever known.
"Because you have chosen the difficult way now, it will be much easier for you later. Because you are willing to face this hard truth now, you will not suffer loss later. Many love to know His kindness, but very few are willing to know His severity. If you do not embrace both, you will always be in danger of deception and of a fall from His great grace.”
"I know that I would never come here if I had not spent the time I did at the red stone. How could I keep trying to take the easy way, when that is so contrary to the nature of the Lord?" I asked.
"But now you have chosen, so go quickly," the eagle told me. "Another great battle is about to begin, and you are needed at the front," he said.
As I looked at he eagle and saw the great resoluteness i his eyes, my confidence grew. Finally, I turned toward the door.
