STEP OUT AND UP IN FAITH

We are seated with Him in heavenly places. We are new creatures. Our spirits are alive. The Lord speaks to our new spirit selves with words and images. The Holy Spirit enables us to perceive these things as when we get dreams, images, words of knowledge and prophetic words. If we try to control this, then we receive nothing, but if we let go and receive in faith, then they come to us as easily as dreams do. It's through this that I believe we are able to journey into heavenly places. In a way, I liken these journeys to awake dreams. Dream on...

When I take the time to go on a trip, I find a quiet place and I pick a time where I will not fall asleep. They usually last about half an hour. I choose to imagine that I'm going on a heavenly journey. The images I see come and go in clarity in my inner mind like a dream or day dream. My thoughts don't seem wonder. As time goes on the more clearer the journey seems, but even still there are areas that may be out of focus or foggy. Some things actually look dark, but as I spend time on the journey they become light.

Doubts or belief in what I'm seeing and experiencing come and go just like when we get a prophetic word or word of knowledge. I choose to suspend doubt and go with what I'm seeing. When I do this, the journey unfolds and takes a life of its own in its own gentle way and I can wake from it instantly. It's not like being taken over or being in a paralyzed trance.

In some of my journeys I allow myself to be taken along. Others times I determine what I want like taking a prayer request to the Lord or where I need an answer to a question. Sometimes I choose to go wherever I want to explore. I've heard of people going to various rooms to get body parts for healing.

Included in this online journal are images that closely resemble what I have seen and they are included to evoke imagery in your mind.

Later journeys in this journal have become more direct prophetic words from the Lord that include insights, foretelling and big picture words about the world.

A PATH UPWARD

I usually take a grassy stepped path into heaven similar to the one shone below. I usually arrive in a marble courtyard with a fountain. See the fountain image below. I am always accompanied by an angel. I'm not sure what the angel looks like, but I am aware of his presence and he always seems to have me by the hand. Once I saw his robe which had a wide border of gold thread and the rest of it was a deep purple, plush brocade. He asks me to do things, instructs me or introduces me to other angels or the Lord.

When I arrive, I always take a drink from this fountain or I bath myself. I always look at my reflection in the water and I usually see myself with a gold crown and I'm always a little boy. It seems like I'm 4 years old. After I return to this place after a trip I always look at my reflection and I always see something different when I do. From this courtyard I take my journeys down various paths.

I sometimes hear old time hymns playing in the background like elevator music.
