Rings Picture: Overview and First Ring

     This is a picture that was given to Mary Pat that has ministered to many Christians the past two years, so I asked her permission to include it on the blog.

I saw a picture of a very huge camp-fire-like flame with a ring surrounding it, which was about five feet from the flame. The Lord then showed me another ring that circled the flame considerably farther from the original ring. He completed the picture with the third ring that was much farther out from the second ring (much greater than the distance between the first and second ring). Each ring was white. Beyond the third ring was darkness.

The Lord indicated to me that He desires for all of us to be positioned within the first ring where we can constantly enjoy the fiery presence and warmth of our Lord, and true Kingdom living takes place. It is a place where we walk in safety, as well as, joy, peace, and righteousness in the Holy Ghost while experiencing the Father's love, being "in love" with Jesus (a.k.a., deep intimacy), and intimately relating with Holy Spirit. It is where destiny is walked out and great demonstrations of the Kingdom will come to pass. Enjoying the Lord's manifest presence is what happens within this ring on a regular basis. Hunger and passion for the Lord and His ways are priority. There is an intense desperation for Him and it is always possible for the voice of the Lord to be heard. Power and authority over the enemy are greatly increased in this realm and show in one's life. No independent spirit exists here...a team mentality prevails. Trust issues and fears are healed, or are in the process of being healed. There's a huge openness to being refined by His fire no matter what the cost. Gratitude to the Father, leaders, and others is an aroma that can be sensed within this ring. The Lord increases individuals exponentially in this realm. There is a heart-felt yieldedness to the Master's plan and desires.
