THAT WHICH IS IN HEAVEN, WILL BE HEAVENLY ON EARTH
That which is in Heaven, Will be Heavenly on Earth

Sunday, February 18, 2018
As a church body, we have been following in three veins of what Word and Spirit is saying to the churches since the first of the year.
- Crowns
- Holiness and Righteousness
- Study of Heaven
Last Sunday evening, Jo Ann Carpenter asked me, “Are you going to preach some more on Heaven on Tuesday morning?” Well, I am going to preach on it today. My soul leaps within me when I speak of Heaven.
In February 2011, I had dream about a white watch. It was pointed toward a red arrow (which was a key). Written out was, “The Key of Righteousness”. In the dream, I retrieved a message from my library titled, “The Key of Righteousness” (2/20/11 – Sermon Notes).
In that same message I wrote, The Lord gave me a word written out in a dream. The Word was, That which is in Heaven, will be Heavenly on earth (2/20/11). That would be exactly seven years ago.
The Lord spoke to me again to preach on Holiness and Righteousness.
We have been given The Key of Righteousness, the free gift of righteousness through the reign of Jesus Christ.
Tuesday morning I preached on the Gift of Righteousness given freely to us through faith in Christ Jesus.
Rom. 5:17-18: For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in light through the One, Jesus Christ. As by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation, even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
“Wendy Alec, Prophet and seer, has written a book, Visions From Heaven of extraordinary supernatural encounters with the Father following a season of deep personal trauma. In a series of panoramic visions, the Father and Jesus take Wendy on an extraordinary journey from the Father’s Chambers, to the brilliance and sheer majesty of the Throne Room, to Satan’s trophy rooms and macabre trading floors of the souls of men.”
The book was written in 2013. She writes on page 55 as spoken to her by the Father, Heaven is about to invade Earth. There is about to come the greatest move of the Holy Spirit released upon the earth that has ever been known.
This was spoken to her during a visitation of the Lord after she had been through 24 months of agony and physical suffering. The grueling physical and mental trauma of the fight had left its scars.
Because of a life time of an intimate faith walk with the LORD, like so many of us, she believed she would be sheltered from tribulation. After the battle, the LORD revealed to her she still had deep trauma wounds and abandonment wounds; because she felt the Father had abandoned her in her suffering. She had not spiritually resolved how such a bad thing could have happened to her and how would she ever feel completely safe again.
The Father raptured her into heaven by vision and revealed to her the progressive healing that He was working in her life.
He told her there has been a past season of intense testing on Earth and many have been walking through the valley of the shadow. He described to her three groups:
- Those facing trials and are in direct warfare. This is easily discerned.
- Those who are experience attack through unhealed wounds and through areas of vulnerability where the enemy has found access.
- Those of my children, who have been sifted, not by My hand, but by the enemy’s hand.
“Many have been sued for by Satan in this past season on Earth. Many of My dread champions, both known and unknown: Apostles, Prophets, Seers, and Intercessors. Those called apostolically to take dominion of the mountains of kingdom government. All those that Satan and his principalities and powers recognized My mantle upon---the reason for the season of violent assault upon My Church. Satan himself is terrified. He fears these ones and the next great move of My Spirit greatly. He fears these, My servants, because Heaven is about to invade Earth. Because there is about to come the greatest move of My Spirit released upon the Earth that has ever been known. So Satan sued for many of those who are called to take up position in this outpouring; to launch such cruel attacks that their faith and trust will be totally shaken. Like a heat-seeking Missile. Yes. The heat---the very fire of My call, My favor, My mark upon My sons and daughters in this season caught the enemy’s full attention.
Because of their call to dominion, their books were called up by the accuser of the brethren into the Highest Courts of Heaven---the High Courts of Justice…Because of these ones’ callings to affect entire nations and to bring kingdom government and dominion to apostolic areas of rule in the Earth, these warriors have been anointed by My Holy spirit to apostolically walk through the very gates of hell in the areas of kingdom government to wrest the kingdom of darkness with violence and take it by force.
She describes being in heaven in a beautifully designed storehouse. As far as eyes could see were thousands upon thousands of mantles; some of royal blue velvet, others of emerald, and crimson velvet. All with ermine fur at their collars. Next to each mantle hovered an enormous golden scepter with emeralds, rubies or sapphires embedded in the orb.
Again as we have read others describe fabric in Heaven being of a gossamer-type, literally shimmering with rainbow hues. Next to each of these hovered intricately designed silver scepters that seemed to radiate some form of blue electrical charges, like lightning.
Above each of these mantles was a delicate tiara, with one beautiful sapphire and aquamarine diamond in the very center.
She knew the velvet and ermine robes were governmental mantles for the apostles to the nations and apostles to the mountains. The gossamer mantles were supernatural mantles of the Father’s glory for the prophets and the seers and the watchmen. As she moved towards one that especially drew her, the LORD JESUS touched her shoulder. Beloved, before My children can put on their mantles, they must be healed of the trauma experienced from passing through long seasons of physical infirmity and the suffering they went through. You are greatly healed, but the long season of despair and abandonment has left you vulnerable.
Tenderly, He reached out His fingers and touched the fading scar that still encircled my head. In this next season, it is important that My dread champions who receive My mantles for the end-times battle that dawns. That any places that are still vulnerable to the enemy are sealed off by My Holy Spirit….
Your final healing of trauma will not be dependent on your works, child. It is now dependent on My grace. It is dependent on My goodness. Your only part in your healings, in this your final deliverance, is to rest in Me. For my goodness and My mercy shall surely find you, and shall follow you all the days of your life.
The Father picked up an exquisite gossamer mantle that reflected light like a rainbow and held it over my head. I started to panic. “I am not ready, Father, You Yourself have said, I am not fully healed.” The Father gently placed the mantle over my head until it rested around my neck. The enormous weight of the mantle’s glory was overwhelming. “I could barely stand.”
Then the Father placed the silver flowing tiara upon my head.
More heavy, heavy, glory. All at once it was as though my head was being anointed with oil. There was a life verse on every mantle unique to the person it was created for. Then slowly the Father handed me the scepter. The power of the supernatural authority surged like electricity through my fingers, right to my heart….
Before many days, a new door opens before you and before many like you:
A door of restitution
Of restoration
Of Justice.
In your weakness, even as My servant Paul, lies your strength.
You see My child…What is courage? He asked me tenderly
“Courage is when you’re brave, and you don’t fear.”
No, Courage my beloved daughter is not always the absence of fear. It is doing something even though you are afraid.
That is what overcoming means.
The greatest overcomers are those who overcome the most fear; the most traumas.
Courage is often measured here in Heaven far differently than on the earth.
The times of greatest courage are often the times when My children are hit by terror and fear, and yet still they stand.
Still they endure.
Still they persevere.
Remember this one thing will remain
“What is that, Daddy?”
That all these ones hewn in the furnace of Satan’s attacks and in the intense warfare of these end days, that these ones are Mine. They are MINE. They will have open access to My throne. They will sit on My lap and rest in My everlasting arms…Even while they fulfill their destiny on earth, these are the ones who will live often at My throne.
She describes a beautiful visitation to the Throne room of the Father’s glory emanating from the throne illuminating the entire chamber with a blazing holy brilliance…But for today, I am going to skip the Throne Room and describe The Garden.
“The field was completely bare, except for a thin, freezing blanket of white frost. Above the ground, all over this freezing blanket, were thousands of tightly furled flowers that seemed to me to look like the crocus buds we know on Earth. As she watched a warm wind started to blow. The sun rose high above the field and suddenly from all four corners of the vast expanse, thousands of the most incredibly beautiful flowers began to blossom at a rapid rate, as though in some kind of intensely lit hothouse. The flowers and plans were beautiful beyond description…
Lord Jesus gazed at them with great tenderness. I knew they were of exceeding worth to Him. They were the lives and ministries that had been birthed in the hard places; where no man has tended them. They have so often been passed over and overlooked in place of those who to the outward eye were more seemly. I knew these were the lives and ministries that the Lord Himself had intimately tended.
He reached down and cut the stem of one of the plants and immediately great gushing waters poured out. Those who had stood through the arid times, when there was little encouragement, when they were bare and dry, and had sought their praise and approval solely from Jesus and the Father, so in turn now because of their faithfulness they were to be containers and the ‘out pourers’ of His Presence---of revival fire---of unending floods of living water in this end-time battle that would literally water families, towns, cities and communities, ministering to the dry and thirsty with rivers of life from the source of living water that would never be quenched.
In the far, far corner of the garden, I saw bunches of smaller, wild-looking, brightly colored flowers. They appeared to be growing crazily, unstoppable, with no pattern or order. A great joyous, piping melody came up from them.
I watched as the Lord Jesus bent over and plucked the flowers. There was such a look of joy and tender love on His face, and somehow I knew that He deeply enjoyed the hearts of these ministries who in the face of all opposition and persecution, had overcome and were overcoming the fear of man enough to follow His voice and His spirit above all others.
These were the ministries who seemed out of step to the church of the present day because they danced to a new sound from Heaven and piped a new melody to the Bride of Christ.
Although they were not yet fully understood by the five-fold ministry of the day, I knew form the Lord that this would change in the next coming season. For they were intimately known, deeply loved, and embraced by the Master.
Jesus placed them gently back onto the emerald-green grass and watched in joy as they continued to pipe and dance ahead of the field.
She saw two large trees which towered over the garden. These represented apostolic works in the Earth today---that had already provided much sustenance for the Lord’s people and He was well pleased.
In this next season there was to be a different mandate and an even wider influence because they had proven trustworthy in the past season. Huge branches were growing from the trunks and their roots went down hundreds of feet below the surface. Suddenly many eagles, previously unseen stirred as one.
Magnificent white and golden eagles flew from the branches.
The trees were apostolic, representing the structure developers and the builders.
The eagles were the Prophets and the Seers. These were the Apostolic and Prophetic works that were rising in the earth. These ministries were a place of refuge, healing and teaching. The prophets worked and moved seamlessly with the apostles. The branches of the trees were a place of habitation and safety for the prophets.
She then describes the fields of those who are prisoners of war, missing in action and wounded warriors. I will save that for another message.

Scripture from K.J.V. – I entered into the labors of Wendy Alec, Visions From Heaven
Truly the Lord has prepared great and mighty things for His people; things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, and which has not entered into the heart of man. (1 Cor. 2:9) If the Lord’s true children would only believe this one Scripture with all their hearts, how greatly it would help to release the riches of Heaven on earth.
- Cor. 2:10: “For to us God revealed them through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.”
The entering in is the “rest of the Lord”. It is living, moving and having our being in the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven.
Great and momentous spiritual battles are being fought and won in heavenly places. Spiritual hosts of wickedness are beginning to feel the impact of the saints who are pressing in by the spirit and beginning to possess their possessions in “the heavenlies.” And above all, the saints of God are receiving gifts of the Holy Spirit. Ministries are being given to the saints ---and these ministries constitute God’s only method “for perfecting the saints, for the work of the ministry, for edifying of the Body of Christ; till we all come into the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Eph. 4: 12, 13)
Eph. 6:14: “Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.”
