This is a statement from Matthew 12:42 that says, “A greater than Solomon is here.” Jesus was speaking to the Religious Leaders of His day who revered the teachings of Solomon yet despised the words of Jesus. He rebuked them for not recognizing who He was. ‘I am the Word of God and far greater than Solomon.’ The Spirit was saying to me, I want to open your understanding afresh to realise the great ‘I Am’ is here, greater than any Angel, or Prophet, and far greater than Ananias.

There is an unusual verse I want to share with you from Psalm 116:15

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints.”

Does this mean that when a Christian dies, God says ‘whoo hoo,’ another one bites the dust? Another one of my Saints is coming home? I don’t think that is what He is saying here. I believe it’s all to do with our dying to self and the stripping off those things that are hindering us in the race toward our destiny.
