Horses in Visions and Activation

I just got confirmation of something that's always bugged me.   I enjoy riding my horses as time permits and I was wondering why the horse I have in Heaven (that I see in my spirit) doesn't have a bridle or reins on her.    I told the Lord that I needed a saddle on her so that I wouldn't fall off and he acquiesced to my request.  But no bridle....   That's a scary ride on the earth for sure.

Now I'm hungry for more of God.  I want to be like Brother Lawrence that practised the presence of God all the time and people got so blessed when he would do the dishes in the monastery.  Some of them even collapsed because of the glory shining out from him!

Back to my story... so I'll be walking around in a heavenly realm asking the Lord, "what do you want me to see?" and my horse come up behind me and nudge me on the shoulder.  It's so special when a horse does that.   They want to be with you and that's a big, big compliment!

Anyhow,  yesterday I was listening to Bruce Allen teaching about Translation by Faith on Youtube and he talked about how the horses in heaven  don't have bridles or reins because the bond is love!

That makes perfect sense!   When I get on my horse in heaven, I just think something and we're there.  You can ride around if you want, but if you want to go somewhere fast you can do it in an instant.

If I've lost some of you remember that Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is at hand.  And Paul said that we are seated with Him in Heavenly places.  That means that our spirits are already engaging the realm of Heaven and that we can go there by faith whenever we want. We have access through the blood of Jesus into everything Father God has dreamed/planned for us.

As we determine to be a living sacrifice The Father has made provision for us to be cleaned up and presentable to him. Our job is to offer all of our dreams, ambitions, hopes and desires to him and to be willing to become of no reputation (like Jesus).... Then He will make us fit to do the Master's work.  That's his part.

I'm excited to be used by Father God more and to help more people.  I'm excited to see what he'll show me today.   So in a practical way you can start by putting on the praise  and worship music and repent of any sin that Holy Spirit shows you.  Then when you feel the spirit of worship start to worship and when you feel his presence ask Holy SPirit what he wants to show you.  Close your eyes and look and you'll see the blackness turn into light,,, then gradually pictures.   You can check with Holy Spirit to confirm what you are seeing.  That's a simple way to activate your spiritual vision. The more you practice the easier it gets.  Also, there are other ways to engage the Kingdom on Heaven that I'll explain in another article.
  
If you want this then please speak this prayer out loud:
Lord Jesus, I want to be yours today.  Please let me be your living sacrifice today.  I give all of myself to you to do with as you choose.   Thank you for opening my eyes and my ears to hear your truth.  Thank You for giving me a teachable heart today and a hunger for your words today.

I command every deaf and dumb spirit and every spirit of unbelief to come off me in the Name of Jesus and cover myself and my family and my home with the blood of Jesus. Every black hood of spiritual blindness come off us now, in Jesus' name!

Thank you Lord for activating me in the things of your Kingdom. Thank You Lord for teaching me how your kingdom operates.  I believe I receive impartation to engage in your Kingdom by faith today. Thank you for dreams and visions of Heaven  today and every day.  Thank You Lord that YOU want this for me, your child.  Amen!


Have a great day with Him!

Another Strategy to Break Through!

If there are times when you don't know what to do to get a break through, keep reading.

You probably have done all the regular things you know to do; like pleading the blood of Jesus over you and repenting of any sin you are aware of.  If you still don't hear anything, then may I suggest that you 'offer yourself a living sacrifice' to him? (ref. Rom. 12:1-2)

Let me explain...  When there's a cloud around me and it's hard to hear, I picture myself climbing on a huge alter and laying down.  Then I give my ideas, my mindsets, my interpretations of visions, all my past experiences etc. to  the Lord.  Sometimes this takes a while.  Then I ask Holy Spirit to bring to my remembrance anything that is getting in the way of our relationship.  He's so faithful to show me!  Hallelujah!  He wants this for us. 

God always shows up when there's a sacrifice on the alter--always!   He's no respecter of persons either.  What he's done for me He'll do for you.

This is another key that God has helped me use to get corporate break through at church.  It usually only takes one person to visit heaven and if they decree that everyone gets touched by heaven then they will.   There is so much power in our words.

When I claim Holy Spirit's presence around me he shows up!  When I don't claim it.... he sometimes doesn't. When I release the glory that's inside of me people get touched wherever I am.

Therefore I want to encourage you to use your words on purpose. Say what you want to see out loud and expect Heaven to move in.  Truly we have not because we ask not!

I bless you with more of His presence today and more of his boldness. Amen!

Lions to help Us.

I saw a brief picture during worship at church the other day.   I was walking along a dirt road in a grassy field on a beautiful sunny day.  My  lion, "Reign" was beside me and "Huntress" my lioness was about twenty feet ahead looking to see what was worth investigating.  An eagle that has linked itself to me was soaring high above me back and forth, just enjoying the air currents.

I was wondering what the Lord wanted me to see that was different, when all of a sudden I saw one lion after another come towards me from all different directions. Within minutes I was surrounded by a huge group of lions of all different ages and sizes.

I asked the Lord what does this mean?  I didn't hear anything directly but then I felt the longing in the lions to be connected with their special Saints.  (It's bringing tears to my eyes even as I write this.) There are lions waiting to be assigned to Saints...
Did you read that?  There are lions waiting to be assigned to Saints and you qualify!!!

Lions are such a blessing in the spirit realm. They bring authority with them and courage. 

I didn't know this was even possible to be assigned a lion! God surprised me one day with a vision.

During this vision, my lion came up to me from behind when I was on the outskirts of the throne area just enjoying the glory and the angelic beings.   Imagine, all of a sudden this lion hits my left hand with his big head and stands beside me. My hand has slide down to his neck and he's huge!  I never knew lions were so big!  He smells of incense and myrrh and he's different shades of cinnamon in color with a thick, coarse mane.  I couldn't stop the tears and the laughter.  Talk about affirmation!

It really did something for me.  I have been more conscious that I rule and reign with my words.  You might not see it but there's authority when I speak.  Courage comes as you realize what you were created for.   What people think or don't think doesn't matter in the light of eternity.  It's very hard to be concerned about your reputation when you can close your eyes and smell your lion beside you!

Let my experience encourage you to ask for your lion.  May I pray for you? You already know that God is no respecter of persons, right?  What he's done for me he wants to do for you! (ref. Acts. 10:34)

"I believe your spiritual eyes are opening up more and more.  I decree that you are seated with him in Heavenly places and that your spiritual senses are awake.  That any hindrances to feeling in the spirit realm are cancelled through the blood of Jesus.   Every spiritual gift and blessing is yours in Christ/Holy Spirit. You have been given the privilege of knowing the secrets of the mysteries of Heaven." (ref. Eph.2:6, Gal. 5:25, Gal. 5:16, Eph. 1:3, Matt. 13:11)

"Thank You Lord for showing us the plan.  Thank You Lord for showing us some of the stuff you have preordained for us to walk in.  Thank You for foretastes of it to whet our appetite and encourage us to press in for more. Amen!" (ref.  Eph. 2:10, Phil. 3:10)

Bless you in Jesus' name!

Garden Wall Vision

My Garden (not finished)

"What do you see?"

I love it when Holy Spirit asks me that like he did Jeremiah (ref. Jer. 1:11)  That is a ticket to exercise my faith and see what's going on in the spirit realm.  Jesus made a way for us as born again Christians to enter the heavenlies. In fact the Bible says that we are seated there already (Eph. 2:6). Every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus has been given to us already so since Jesus could see things in the spirit so can we. (ref. Eph. 1:3,  Acts. 10:34)

It's as simple as believing God's word and practicing God's presence.  We do Psalm 100 where we enter God's gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise.  We go by the alter of sacrifice and ask forgiveness of our sins, then we move on to the bronze laver where we find the washing of the word.  We do this until we feel the  praise songs shift to worship songs. Then when we feel the atmosphere around us change we ask Holy Spirit what to do next.  Holy Spirit will lead you to what to say, decree or see.  He is our guide for all supernatural encounters.

This is why time alone with God is a precious commodity in our busy world.   All the revelatory gifts like prophesy, words of knowledge and words of wisdom flow from the intimacy of knowing His voice really well... and that takes time.  All relationships take time.

 Anyhow,  the last week I have seen this scene a number of times so I will share it to bless you.  I saw the most beautiful scene.  There was a low stone wall about 2.5 feet tall with big stones arched away from me.   There were masses of flowers all around, magenta, fuchsia, blue, pink and the occasional lemon yellow flower.  The foliage was various greens with no dead leaves in them, just more and more types of leaves.  The colors were so brilliant that they felt like they had a metallic sheen to them.

On the top of the wall I could see where the stone was bare in two places, big enough for two people to sit down and take in the beautiful landscape around.  The flowers behind would crowd me and bless me with their sweet perfume.  The peace in this place was amazing.

The light on the scene was like nothing I've seen before.  Everything was bathed with this golden light and it seemed to come from every living thing so I was hard pressed to see the shadows of the wall on the stone walkway for example.

What caught my eye next was a travel mug like the one I use down here for my tea.  It was on the wall between the two seats and it had water vapor spiraling up from it so I knew there was something hot in it.  Beside it was a huge ruby colored gem, almost as big as the bottom of my travel mug.  I thought what are these things doing there?

Then I noticed a pile of gems on the ground between the two seats.  They didn't fit in with this scene, yet I knew they were important.  There were pearls, and many ruby-colored stones as well as various other stones that I didn't recognize.  All of the gems were polished and faceted and looked like they were ready to be put into pieces of jewelry.

I asked the Lord what was up with this picture and He told me that this scene is one I have visited many times... when I stand in His presence.  He always has refreshment ready for me and I can see where the rocks have flat tops so we can easily sit down and talk.  The gems represent the nuggets of wisdom and glory that He has for me.  Many times I forget to take the nugget back down with me to earth and that's why there is a pile of them on the ground.

I asked the Lord what to do the next time I visit because I was sad to see so many gems on the ground. He told me to release the glory I receive while visiting Heaven on the earth and to say out loud, "I believe I receive the gem of wisdom, provision, revelation," -- whatever Holy Spirit says it is.

Then he told me to raise my right hand grab the gem out of heaven and loose it on the earth with a downward motion.   I'm not saying that you have to do the same.  Let Holy Spirit guide you  in all you do. 

If this seems silly to you,  I completely understand. I have been a Christian for almost 30 years and it took me almost 20 to get past my logical thinking, engineer's mind.  Yet the bible says that the things that are seen are temporal, and the things unseen are eternal.(2Cor. 4:18)  Chew on that fact for a while.  The supernatural or spirit realm is more real than the physical one around us. I had to keep humbling myself under God's mighty hand and agreeing with the word of God, regardless of what my mind or circumstances said.

We practice this principal when we speak the solution and don't talk the problem.   We call forth the things that be not, provision, revelation, etc.,  as though they are. (ref. Rom. 4:17)

Anyhow, I bless you with a hunger for the word of God.  May you search out the scriptures to verify what I am saying.  Throughout the scriptures you will see that many people had dreams and visions and that God guided his people with them.

I bless you with sanctified dreams and visions today/tonight.  I plead the blood of Jesus over you and declare that any hindrance to you having dreams or visions is broken off.  I declare that your imagination is cleansed by the blood of the lamb and that it is Holy Spirit's drawing board.  I ask that Holy Spirit would guide you in what to watch and listen to, so that your conscience does not get seared again. May you fulfill all of God's plans for your life, in Jesus' name I ask. Amen!

Open Heaven then What?

The visiting Evangelist told us  that we have an open Heaven over our church. I have heard this before from other visiting leaders and I know we do.

So what do we do next?  How do we get it to spread?  That's what I am asking the Lord these days. This move of God has got to get outside of the church walls!

It is nice that people are experiencing visions and supernatural encounters and yes people are getting saved and healed, but something in me is not satisfied.  There is a longing inside me for more, for something deeper.   He has promised that if we would seek him that we would find him when we seek Him with all our hearts.

So I am going to continue seeking Him every day and  I will record the songs He gives me and write down all the visions He shows me.

If you are hungry for more than pray with me, "Lord we want more of You in our lives because nothing else matters,  You said that the pure in heart would see Your face, so we are coming.  We determine to surrender all for You, for Your presence and for Your pleasure.  May we bless Your heart today Lord.  Holy Spirit help us to hear Your precious voice and give us determination to obey you at all cost. Amen"

Bless you!
Big hugs,

Quieting Ourselves

Have you ever wondered why God doesn't yell at us much?  I have. I think it would be so much easier if He did.  I wonder if it's because He wants us to seek Him?  He wants relationship that's based on choice and not forced on us.

Most of the time He speaks very gently to us, like a friend.  If we are not paying attention we won't hear His voice above all the back ground noise in our lives.  It takes practice to quiet our minds so we can hear His gentle whispers.

I was trying to quiet my mind one evening while I was worshiping on the piano and this song came.  I thought it might encourage you to press in for more so I recorded it today.  Enjoy!

 

Thank You Lord for helping us to take our thoughts captive so we can hear Your gentle voice.

Thank You Lord for helping us to set aside time each day to hear your voice.                              

Lead us to Your throne and give us dreams and visions about Your kingdom Lord, in Jesus' name we ask. Amen!

Remember...

"I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done." (Psalm 143:5) It's very important that we remember what God has done for us. We don't want to be like some of the Israelis who forgot what God did for them, by his power. (Psalm 78:42) God was really angry with them for forgetting all that He had done for them!

The other reason that we want to keep remembering these things is because the bible says that, "the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophesy." (Rev 19:10) As we remember what God has done, the same supernatural (God kind) of faith is released so that we can do it again. That's reason to rejoice!

So I have a couple of pages of personal testimonies I've written down, in point form. They are not in chronological order. If you want, I can elaborate on any that you are interested in: scripture promises, or details of how they happened.

May your faith be encouraged as you read about our Supernatural God!

Bless you abundantly as you speak to your mountains!
Love,
