The following vision occurred upon waking from an afternoon nap October 19, 2007. As I awoke I felt myself being transported somewhere else. I knew I was still in bed, but I also had the sensation of moving. As I was moving through darkness, I heard the Lord begin to speak. “I have heard the cries from My chosen ... My prophets. I have heard their pleas for “more” — more anointing, more power, more accuracy, more confirmation. I have seen some of My prophets begin to be downcast for what they term as a lack of power in their ministries and in their lives. They say to Me that the enemy’s power has seemed to increase, and they feel like in some areas they are being overwhelmed. My prophets are crying out for an ‘Elijah anointing,’ yet cannot understand why this hasn’t come.”

As the Lord paused, I began to see light ahead. I then noticed I was in a beautiful green valley heading upward toward an enormous castle on a mountain. I asked the Lord, “What is this place?”

He replied, “My castle. Am I not the King of Kings? Then I have the castle of Castles!” I began to think I wasn’t worthy to enter in to this place, but He immediately said, “You are my beloved, my bride, my queen. A queen may enter the castle.” As we entered in, we moved at great speed through the corridors, going past many, many rooms.

The Lord continued speaking as we moved. “I will reveal to you a mystery today; a room very few of My chosen have ever discovered in My castle.” As we stopped, I saw what appeared to be a very, very small room ahead of us. I asked what was in this room. He said, “This is the Room of Total Abandonment.” I must be honest, I really didn’t know what that meant exactly. The Lord continued to speak, “So many of my chosen reach high levels in Me — levels that enable them to do great things through Me in the spirit realms. Yet the vast majority cannot attain the ultimate levels of power and anointing, because they have never found this room. Some have found it, but could not enter in. Some have found it, but WOULD not enter in. But I tell you, in this small room contains the secret for great power.” I then noticed the door to the room. It was so small, I knew I couldn’t fit through it. I wondered how anyone could fit through it. The Lord, knowing my thoughts, replied, “The only way to enter the door is to leave yourself outside.” ( Now I knew that was deep) Amazingly I actually understood what He meant though.

Immediately, my eyes opened and I was back in bed, but the Lord continued to speak, “Total abandonment to Me is the key so many are looking for. It is the last piece of the puzzle for many ministries to operate in total Elijah power. Many have THOUGHT they were totally surrendered, but I tell you, NO. For it is a truth, the more you give of yourself to Me, the more I can give of Myself to you.”

The Lord continued, “Many will wonder how this surrender can take place ... how to find this room. I tell you, KEYS to this room are being prepared even now to be distributed to my chosen. They will be delivered in various ways. Some by words of wisdom, some by visions, some by dreams, some by revelation knowledge, and even some by angels themselves, but all will contain what my chosen need to know for complete and total abandonment to Me and My will. When My chosen act on this, the very foundations of earth will be shaken with the outpouring of power and anointing I will release. Total Abandonment to ME is what I require.”
