Genesis 28:12-16

Exodus 19:16-25 (the great Theophany/actual appearance of God/gods to man)    16On the morning of the 3rd day there were peals of thunder and lightning, a heavy cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast, so that all the people in the camp trembled.  17Moses let (allowed/led) the people out of the camp to meet God; they stationed themselves at the foot of the mountain.  18Mount Sinai was all wrapped in smoke, for the Lord came down upon it in fire.  The smoke rose from it as though from a furnace (volcano); the whole mountain trembled violently. 19The trumpet blast grew louder and louder, while Moses was speaking and God answering him with thunder.  20When the Lord came down to the top of Mount Sinai, He summoned Moses to the top of the mountain; Moses went up to Him.  21Then the Lord told Moses, "Go down and warn the people not to break through toward the Lord in order to see Him; otherwise many of them will be struck down.  22The priests, too, who approach the Lord must sanctify themselves; else He will vent His anger upon them."  23Moses said to the Lord, "The people cannot go up to Mount Sinai, for You Yourself warned us to set limits around the mountain to make it sacred."  24The Lord repeated, "Go down now!  Then come up again along with Aaron; but the priests and people must not break through to come up to the Lord, else He will vent His anger upon them."  25So Moses went down to the people and told them this.
Exodus 24:9-11 TNAB    9Moses then  went up with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and 70 elders of Israel, 10and they beheld the God of Israel.  Under His feet there appeared to be sapphire tile-work, as  clear as the sky itself.  11Yet He did not smite these chosen Israelites.  After gazing on God, they could still eat and drink.  
Exodus 33:18-23 TNAB    18Moses said, "Let me see Your glory!"  19He answered, "I will make all My beauty pass before you, and in your presence I will pronounce My name, 'Lord';  I Who show favors to whom I will, I Who grant mercy to whom I will.  20But My face you cannot see, for no man sees Me and still lives.  21Here," continued the Lord, "is a place near Me where you shall station yourself on the rock.  22When My glory passes, I will set you in the hollow of the rock and will cover you with My hand until I have passed by.  23Then I will remove My hand, so that you may see My back; but My face is not to be seen."
Exodus 34:5-7 TNAB    5Having come down in a cloud, the Lord stood with him there and proclaimed His name, "Lord."  6Thus the Lord passed before him and cried out, "The Lord, the Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, rich in kindness and fidelity, 7continuing His kindness for a 1,000 generations, forgiving wickedness, crime and sin; yet not declaring the guilty guiltless, punishing children and grandchildren to the 3rd and 4th generation for their father's wickedness!"

Deuteronomy 3:26 TNAB (refusal to Moses)    The Lord was angry with me (Moses) on your (Israel's) account and would not hear me.  "Enough!" the Lord said to me, "Speak to Me no more of this."
Deuteronomy 4:1 TNAB (advantages of fidelity)    1"Now, Israel, hear the statues and decrees which I am teaching you to observe, that you may live, enter in, and take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you."   
Deuteronomy 4:9-14 TNAB (revelation at Horeb)  9"Take care and be earnestly on your guard not to forget the things which your own eyes have seen, nor let them slip from your memory as long as you live; teach them to your children and to your children's children:  10There was the day on which you stood before the Lord, your God, at Horeb, and He said to me, 'Assemble the people for Me; I will have them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me as long s they live in the land and may so teach their children.'  11You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, which blazed to the very sky with fire and was enveloped in a dense black cloud.  12Then the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire.  You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.  13He proclaimed to you His covenant, which He commanded you to keep, the 10 commandments, which He wrote on 2 tablets of stone.  14The Lord charged me (Moses) at that time to teach you the statues and decrees which you are to observe over in the land you will occupy."
Deuteronomy 4:15 TNAB (danger of idolatry)  15"You saw no form at all on the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire.  Be strictly on you guard, therefore, 16not to degrade yourselves by fashioning an idol to represent any figure, whether it be the form of a man, woman, 17animal on earth, bird that flies in the sky, 18anything that crawls on the ground, or fish in the waters under the earth. 19When you look up to the heavens and behold the sun, moon, or any star among the heavenly hosts, do not be led astray into adoring them and serving them."

Job 38:1- TNAB    1The Lord addressed Job out of the storm and said,   

Isaiah 6:1-8 TNAB (the call of Isaiah)    1In the year (742BC) king Uzziah died, I (Isaiah) saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of His garment filling the temple.  2Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had 6 wings: with 2 they veiled their faces, with 2 they veiled their feet, and with 2 they hovered aloft.  3"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts," they cried one to the other.  "All the earth is filled with His glory!"  4At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke. 5Then I said, "Woe is me, I am doomed, for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet, my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!"  6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember which he had taken with tongs from the altar.  7He touched my mouth with it.  "See," he said, "now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged."  8Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send?  Who will go for us?"  "Here I am;" I said; "send me!" 

Ezekiel 1 TNAB (the vision - God on the Cherubim) 1"While I was among the exiles by the river Chebar, the heavens opened, and I (Ezekiel) saw divine visions."  2On the 5th day of the month, the 5th year, that is, of King Jehoiachin's exile, 3the Word of the Lord came to the priest Ezekiel, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar.  "There the hand of the Lord came upon me.  As I looked, a stormwind came from the North (the abode of God), a huge cloud with flashing  fire (enveloped in brightness), from the midst of which (the midst of the fire) something gleamed like electrum.  5Within it were figures resembling 4 living creatures that looked like this:  their form was  human, 6but each had 4 faces and 4 wings; 7their legs went straight down; the soles of their feet were round. (and) They sparkled with a gleam like burnished bronze.  8Human hands were under their wings.  The wings of one touched those of another.  9Their faces (and their wings) looked  out on all their 4 sides; they did not turn when they moved, but each went straight forward.  10Their faces were like this: each of the 4 had the face of a man; but on the right side was the face of a lion and on the left side the face of an ox; finally each had the face of an eagle.  11Each had 2 wings spread out above, so that they touched one another's, while the other 2 wings of each covered his body.  12(Each went straight forward; wherever the spirit wished to go, there they went; they did not turn when they moved.)  13In among the living creatures something like burning coals of fire could be seen; they seemed like torches, moving to and fro among the living creatures.  The fire gleamed; from it came forth flashes of lightning. 14Living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.  15As I looked at the living creatures, I saw wheels on the ground, one beside each of the 4 living creatures.  16The wheels had the sparkling appearance of chrysolite, and all 4 of them looked the same- they were constructed as though one wheel were within another.  17They could move in any of the 4directions they faced, without veering as they moved.  18The 4 of them had rims.  I saw that their rims were full of eyes all   around.  19When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved with them; when the living creatures were raised from the ground, the wheels also were raised.  20Whereever the spirit wished to go, there the wheels went; they were raised together with the living creatures, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.  21When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood: and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures  was in the wheels.  22Over the heads of the living creatures, something like a firmament would be seen, something like glittering crystal, stretched straight out above their heads.  23Beneath the firmament their wings were stretched out, one toward the other.  (Each of them had 2 covering his body.)  24Then I heard the sound of their wings, like the roaring of mighty waters, like the voice of the Almighty.  When they moved, the sound of the tumult was like the din of an army.  (And when they stood still, they lowered their wings.) 25A voice came from above the firmament that was under their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.  26Above the firmament over their heads something like a throne could be seen, looking like sapphire.  Upon it was seated, up above, one Who had the appearance of a man.  27Upward  from what resembled His waist I saw what gleamed like electrum; downward from what resembled His waist I saw what looked like fire; He was surrounded with splendor.  28Like the (rain)-bow which appears in the clouds on a  rainy day was the splendor that surrounded Him.  Such was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.

Colum-cille - founder and abbot of Iona monastery 53-597 AD
Book 3  The Visions
A - Of a Ray of Light Seen Over His Face in His Boyhood      Columba's (mentor/tutor/spiritual guardian) "foster father, the priest Cruith-nechan (under whom he was an apprentice, like young Solomon)...returned from the church after the service to his lodging to find his whole house illuminated with a bright light; for he saw a ball of fire standing over the boy's face as he slept....He understood that the grace of the Holy Spirit had been poured forth from heaven over his pupil."
B - Of Holy Angels Seen by Saint Brendan      In ignorance the clergy attempted to excommunicate Columba.  However, they relented after listening to Saint Brendan, fonder of the Birr monastery.  "Brendan said, 'I saw a pillar, trailing fire and very bright, going before this man of God whom you despise, and holy angels accompanying him on his journey over the plain...This man...is predestined by God to lead the peoples to life."
C - Of an Angel Who Brought Help to a Brother Who Fell from the Rooftop    "'Help, help!'  2 brothers (clergy)...asked him  the reason for this sudden cry... Reply, 'I told an angel of the Lord, who just now was standing between you, to bring such speedy help to one of the brothers, who fell from the rooftop...Most wonderful and almost indescribable is the swiftness of angel's flight, equal, I believe, to the speed of lightning.  For that heavenly one who flew away from us here just now, as that man was beginning to fall, came to his help as in the twinkling of an eye, and held him up before he touched the ground; and he who fell could feel no fracture or hurt.  How marvelous...was this...help...when such great distances of seas and land lay between, could be brought so very speedily.'"
D - Of Angels Descending from Heaven to Talk with the Blessed Man  On one occasion at the now named Cnoc angel or Little Hill of the Angels in Iona Colum Kill was seen praying with his arms uplifted and angels flying down to converse with him.
E - Of the Descent of the Holy Spirit   A 3 day visitation on the island of Hinba.
F - Of the Light that Virgno Saw over St Columba  A man praying in the church was interrupted by St Columba's presence which carried with it a blinding light, so much so that permanent injury would have occurred if he had not averted his eyes. (Remember when Moses had to wear a veil after visiting God?)
G - Of the Passing to the Lord of Our Holy Patron Columba  St. Columba foreknew the date of his death and even delayed it a bit to reduce the sorrow of his monks.  At this time he blessed Iona and its inhabitants and forbade snake venom to harm anyone on the Island.  At the week of his death he sees angels come, bless, and return to heaven through the church roof.  To his attendant Diormit he revealed, "My Lord Jesus Christ deigns to invite me, and I shall depart to Him, as I say, this coming midnight at His invitation.  For so it has been revealed to me by the Lord Himself."  He told his monks that upon his death, "I, abiding with Him, will intercede for you."  At midnight he entered the church ahead of the rest, to pray.  "The whole interior of the church was filled with angelic light about the saint."  The light disappeared as the congregation approached to enter the darkened sanctuary.  Soon thereafter Colum Kill went to be with Christ. 
That midnight in an Irish monastery named Cloni-fincholl, Luguid, son of Tailchan, had a vision of Columba; "I saw in the spirit the island of Iona, which I have never visited in the body, all radiant with the brightness of angels...to bear away his holy soul.  I also heard...the songs of the angelic hosts, melodious and most sweet, at the very moment of his holy soul's departure among the ascending choirs of angels."

Bently, Todd                         The Reality of the Supernatural World            www.soundoffire.com
subtitle = Exploring Heavenly Realms and Prophetic Experiences
This book is a must read for all Christians who are not yet personally experiencing the book of Acts.
It explains that as salvation is activated/obtained by an act of the will and of faith in Christ, so is healing, prophecy, dreams, visions and all the other aspects of the book of Acts.  Not only that, God wants and
expects us to hound/wrestle with Him until He blesses you, as did Jacob who wrestled with the angel
The supernatural world/nature has 5 senses, as does the natural.  We need to create a lifestyle of using
these 5 spiritual senses daily.  Bentley will mentor us.
This brings to mind the TV special where blind individuals by clicking their tongues can hear echoes which tell them the location of objects.  This is called echolocation.  Bats and dolphins use this system.  In the human, this procedure activates the visual part of the brain, even though the eyeball cannot respond.  In other words, there a 2 visual sources.  One is from the eyeball.  One is from the ear.  Additionally, there can be one from touch.  What a marvelous body that God created.  Spiritual vision is of course not quite the same, but the end result is superior.  We read Scripture to understand God.   However, if we ask God, He will send the Holy Spirit to give us spiritual knowledge/wisdom/ understanding.  Spiritual insight does NOT depend on any human organ.  The spiritual man inside us contains any/all spiritual info downloaded by the Holy Spirit.  Thus we have human vision or spiritual vision.
Chapter 6 Third Heaven begins to admonish us to relive/meditate on those heavenly encounters that our spiritual forefathers in scripture and living spiritual mentors experienced.  He also reminds us that salvation, healing, health, wealth, or heavenly visitation, is received by pursuit and not by being a couch potato.  We speak it into existence - with faith; whatever God, Jesus, Moses, Elijah, etc. did, then we also need to do, NOW.  We are not to wait until we return to dust!  If we wait, we will throw away all the years God has given us.  Our life will be a compost pile/sewer.  He says to study/memorize all those scriptures relevant to visiting angels/God/etc.  Begin to compile/absorb them.  Any spiritual personal experiences/healings/miracles/visions we are to continually rehearse with gratitude, both our own and others.  This is one formula/101 course requirement/springboard into heavenly visions.
Chapter 13 Supernatural Encounters suggests that God may reign from His throne room in the 3rd heaven, but live elsewhere in a different universe.

"I...saw (in a vision) the Lord Jesus walk right through the back wall of my bedroom...He was accompanied by an angel dressed in white...He extended His rod toward me...I held the rod in the air...With a surge of Holy Spirit boldness I extended the rod outward and said, 'Money come to me now!'  I said this 3 times, each time very forcefully.  As I spoke those words, I would swing that shepherd's rod out and by faith grab hold of money by the hook at the end of the staff, and then pull it in."  See 2nd Kings 13:18-19 NIV.  "The Lord said, 'As you spoke that day to the money and called it in...the angel...went forth and caused it to come.'  This experience is only one example of how angels heed the voice of His Word.  As we speak the words that His Spirit puts in our mouth, we speak with authority, and the Kingdom of Heaven back us up."

Chapter 3 The Creative Power of the Spoken Word shares that Cho interpreted his early visions of miracles as from Satan (as many Oriental religions have healing powers + Egyptians had magic powers in the time of Moses).  Later Cho was afraid to speak out his visions, lest he be embarrassed due to lack of response/miracles/healings. On his "mind's screen" Cho "could see growths disappear, tuberculosis healed, cripples leaning heavily on crutches suddenly thrown them aside and walk."  The Lord spoke, "Son, that is not a hindrance of Satan.  That is the visual desire of the Holy Spirit.  It is the Word of wisdom and of knowledge.  God wants to heal these people, but God can't heal them before you speak."

Goll, James                            The Seer                                 www.encountersnetwork.com
Spiritual revelation/communication/visions/dreams/apparitions come from 1 of 3 sources - Holy Spirit, human soul/spirit, or evil spirit.  Thus one has a great need for discernment.  Evil spirits can be perceived as angels or good voices; however they speak half truths/white lies/black lies! 
Always ask (1) does the voice/thought/idea/experience console/comfort (2) does it agree with scripture (3) does it exalt Jesus Christ as son of God/Messiah/savior (4) does it always tell the truth (5) does it attract others to Jesus Christ (6) does it give peace/freedom/joy (7) does it give life/health/deliverance (8) does God's Spirit agree (9) does it produce good things/fruit/ blessings?

Chapter 7 A Hospital Visitor  section Have the Ministry Gifts Been Done Away With?
"The spiritual gift of the word of knowledge is a supernatural revelation by the Holy Spirit concerning...the present or...the past.  The word of wisdom, on the other hand, concerns knowledge of the future...Sometimes when I was preaching, a cloud would appear and my eyes ...could see into the realm of the spirit.  I might see someone...sin.  In the vision I would see this person in the other town."
Types of Visions  "1st there is what the Lord called a spiritual vision, in which a person has a vision in his spirit (with the eyes of his spirit)...This lowest type of vision and the highest type of revelation are very similar...
Jesus pointed out to me that the 2nd highest type of vision is when one falls into a trance.,,
The 3rd type of vision is actually the highest type.  It is called an open vision....One's physical senses are not suspended; his physical eyes are not closed."

Hayes, Norvel                               Understanding The Ministry Of Visions               www.nhm.cc
Chapter 5 Recognize and learn from Visions  "The ordinary way - the everyday, the most common way - to receive a vision from God is in the nighttime while you're asleep.  If you don't know the importance of night visions...you'll run the risk of missing something important from the Lord.  don't miss God.  Be open to receive visions (dreams) from Him...You and I call these dreams, but the Lord calls them visions in the night...See Acts 16:9, Acts 18:9...(Even) if you see something terrible...be open to this being God's way of warning you of what Satan is up to.  You can discern whether visions are from  God or the devil...Realize the Lord may be exposing Satan's works to you, SO that you can DO something about them."
Chapter 8 The Importance of a Personal Vision  "God gave me a vision in the middle of the day...for about 30 minutes.  I was partly in the world and partly out...I was seeing from my (human) spirit, down in my belly.  Jesus said, 'Out of your belly shall slow rivers of living water.' John 7:38...Ask the Lord to give you a drink.  Say, 'Lord, let the rivers of living water flow out of my belly.'  Just talk to Him like that." 
(Once you receive a vision, accept it and ask Him what to do about it; then have 3 spiritual advisors evaluate that vision, before acting on it, always waiting for God's permission to initiate any action.  Sometimes it takes 20-40 years before the vision is ready to be acted on - in God's power and never in our own power.  Habakkuk 2:2-3 WARNING, if the vision says to murder, or do some harmful thing, then consider the vision to be from Hell and not from heaven.)
Hayes, Norvel & Hayes-Cornelison, Zona                Stand in the Gap for Your Children       1991 booklet      www.nhm.cc
Chapter 1 Stand in the Gap for Your Children  "I prayed every night that God would visit me...and every night the Spirit of the Lord visited me.  I would wake up and reach for my Bible.  Then God would come into my room...shake me in my bed, sometimes for 2 or 3 hours.  I've had the Lord to shake me all night until 11:00 in the morning.  I would lie there with the (Holy) Spirit of God moving up and down my body, tears gushing out my eyes, as He burned all the chaff out of my life."

Chapter 20 Waiting in the Glory for Revelation  "Each one must believe to see and start reaching out to see...
If He doesn't fill our vision more and more, we won't be able to make it in the days to come...You receive great visions by sharing the little ones, all those little glimpses into eternity.  We are like the blind man who was prayed for twice...
Declare the vision, even if you don't see it in its fullness...There are many people who don't believe in vision, but that doesn't  negate what God is doing...The anointing to see will cause you to stand in high places. 
'Let there come to you right now a keenness, a sensitivity in the realm of the Spirit.   May the anointing for seeing be released in you from this day forward.'"5.5.2008
"We must move from the information type of preaching that comes from our accumulated wisdom and knowledge into a revelatory preaching that comes to us at the moment...It will be fresh bread for all those who hear it....Some of you will begin to have a flow of visions and revelations as you are doing your daily tasks...Don't be afraid to share what God is telling you.  It will bless someone...Some people get frightened as they feel an unusual fluttering in their hearts.  That's nothing...
A quickening of the spirit.  He is teaching you...The only way that glory is manifested is by revelation.  It comes no other way... Revival is bringing forth great revelation.  It is coming as we sit in the cloud of God's glory...I love revelatory services, in which, one after another, we all prophesy by revelation and by vision...This is a onetime experience.  God wants to reveal Himself to you every day, in progressions...like placing the blocks in a building.  Piece by piece, it takes form, until, one day, we will have the completed revelation...We shouldn't get up too quickly from the altar or from falling under the power of God...Linger for a while.  Give God the opportunity to reveal Himself to you...Keep on trying...I might be looking at the people and focusing on them, but God is giving me something else to see in my peripheral vision...When someone in charge of a service begins to flow in vision, reach out in the Spirit, so that you can flow with them...Likewise we can flow together in vision.  We can see the same thing at the same time...We must ask.  We must look.  We must knock...Don't ever take the audible voice of God in your spirit for granted. Don't ever become blase'...too many people who have received great abilities in the realm of the Spirit have done less with those abilities than those who have received little.  Sometimes when we have only a little ability, we appreciate it more and use it more...
We can pray, 'God, reveal what we need to know about this subject by Your Spirit.  Reveal what we need to know about this situation by Your Spirit'...Recognize the  voice of God, even if He uses a rooster or a donkey to speak to you.  Whenever God has quickened something to my spirit, I have been off and running with it...God will put us in the middle of things for which we have no natural background...We ladies can get tenacious when we are searching  for something...God wants us to have that same tenacity of spirit in seeking Him...according to revelation rather than according to human understanding."

Experience the Supernatural in Your Life - Angelic Visitations, Prophetic Dreams, Visions, and Miracles  Chapter 7 The Helper (or the Guide)  An "organ of the soul...imagination...is the part of you that receives vision...The Word (of God) clearly communicates that without a vision, we will perish." Proverbs 29:18 
"We need vision, and the imagination is the organ that permits us to receive that vision...
In every type of spiritual vision, the imagination is engaged.  This is true of trance, open vision, dreams, and faint impressions...A vision can be revisited because it is backed up in the memory bank of your imagination, or vision center."
The imagination "needs to be sanctified in order to operate as a doorway for your faith to engage the invisible realm of the spirit...Just as we ask the Lord to forgive us of our unclean thoughts, we need to do the same with our imagination.  We need to pray for the imagination to be set apart for the Holy Spirit's use." 
We can strengthen the imagination for God "by submitting it to the visions within the Scriptures. 
The visions found in the Books of the prophets, for example, carry prophetic authority in them...
Ask the Lord to allow you to envision that particular scene in Scripture...Submit yourself to Him.  
Your imagination is not leading you; rather it is the Holy Spirit Himself who is filling you with divinely inspired impressions...The imagination or thoughts...are the places where you will actually receive most of your spiritual inspirations."
Chapter 8 Pitfalls and Activation
warns us to allow only the Holy Spirit and never another person/guide/ counselor or spirit to assist us in "guided imagery".
In Jesus name we need to renounce ALL
1-"occult and New Age practices", especially/specifically __________________________
2-"books, recording, and paraphernalia used in these practices."  (Destroy them!)
3-"rituals, rites, baptisms, ungodly vows, and covenants."
In Jesus name verbally and physically separate/cut off from oneself from ALL
1-"Gurus, covens, occult priests, teachers of spiritual practices, spirit guides, and New Age medical practitioners."
We need to ask Jesus to forgive us for any involvement in any of the above.
We need to ask Jesus to cleanse our spirit, soul/mind/imagination/thoughts/brain/emotions, and body from any of the above involvements.
In Jesus name we need to
1-"serve (final eviction) notice to any and every demonic spirit that has entered us as a result of any such involvement."
In Jesus name we need to
1-"command them all to leave (NOW and to never return)."
We need to ask the Holy Spirit to now fill us completely, especially in those vacant spaces formerly occupied by the enemy.
We need to tell God that we will submit only to His Son Jesus Christ, your Lord, Savior, and King.
We need to ask the Holy Spirit to be our constant defender/protector and counselor.
Now and each day - Thank Him.  Praise Him.  Adore Him.  Glorify Him.  Worship Him.
Finally, be reminded that NO vision/dream/spiritual experience is valid/holy/helpful/good if it contradicts God's scripture, nature, or heart.
Chapter 8 Pitfalls and Activation 
"If you see a vision or enjoy an encounter in the glory realm, then study it out in the Word of God afterward.  Always let the Word of God be the first testing place to validate experience...
It is also important to have a good accountability circle around you and some mature Christians who
can help mentor and pastor you into maturity.  In the multitude of counselors, there is wisdom."
Chapter 8 Pitfalls and Activation notes "that the still small voice can carry as much if not more authority than the audible voice of God at times...The faint visual impressions the Holy Spirit gives you are not a lower level of revelation than an open vision....Some of the most significant and fruitful spiritual revelations I have received were actually God-thoughts and God-impressions - very faint ones I might add.  It is not what type of vision or revelation you receive that makes it significant or not...Many visions and encounters that are seemingly subtle and dull actually can bear enormous fruit.  Do not despise that which appears insignificant...Your faint impressions are as valid as an open vision.  Lean into all the Holy Spirit gives you and embrace."
"The greatest enemies to spiritual experience are doubt and unbelief."  Believe what the 5 senses reveal to you; also believe the invisible promises in Scripture.  It often can be easier for a child to enter in than for an adult!  Pray.  Believe "Your (born-again) spirit is engaged in divine encounters eve if your soul (mind/thinking) is not aware of the experience...Expect."

Mendez-Ferrell, Ana                       Seated in Heavenly Places    http://www.voiceofthelight.com/vision.html
Chapter 10 shares that God has a different face for each aspect of his nature/personality/mood/occasion.
We are never to put God in a box. 
Meanwhile, His son Jesus, has provided access to heaven from which we can operate while living on earth.  This is an actual place, not a position in Christ.  Those who are are not quitters and are willing to lose all to gain Christ have the opportunity to establish themselves in this "dwelling of light".
Additionally, one can go to "paradise" in person, eat the leaves of the "tree of life", and be healed!

Subtitle - The Keys to Supernatural Ministry Are in Your Hands
Chapter 6 Faith - Standing on God's Word     Through a friend Moyo recognized that the did not have a sickness problem but rather a faith problem.  Then, "I invited the Holy Spirit to come and help me receive my healing.  I jotted down all the Scripture about miracles and healing.  Subsequently, I informed the devil that I know that he comes only to steal, kill and destroy; but Jesus came to give me life and life more abundantly (John 10:10)....Let  the devil know that Jesus delegated His power and authority unto you and that you are ready to exercise them to take back what he has stolen from you."
"I as determined NOT (to) leave that room until I as completely healed.  I reminded God of His promises to heal.  I sang and read His Word back to Him (Father God)."  Jesus appeared.  "He put His right hand on the left side of my stomach.  I felt a prickly and heavy object leave my body and was instantaneously healed by the hand of the Lord...That was the 2nd visitation of Jesus...It was not a vision, dream or trance."

Osborn, Tommy Lee (TL)             Biblical Healing                                   www.osborn.org 
Chapter 24 Four Vital Visions shares 4 visions (revelations) that revitalized and empowered their ministry.
At age 15 TL accompanied Reverend Dillard as he ministered across the country.
At 17 he met Daisy and at 18 they married and started their own itinerant ministry.  Not long after they unsuccessfully ministered in India for 5 years.  Back home in America they attended a camp meeting where Rev. Hattie Hammond, successor to Dr Charles S Price, ministered.  Back home, upon waking, TL had The First Vision of Christ.
The Second Vision shares, "In...1947...Rev. (William) Branham cast out devils and ministered to the sick in Jesus name...He prayed a simple prayer.  In a quiet but authoritative voice, he spoke, 'You deaf and  dumb spirit, I adjure you in Jesus' name, leave the child.'  Then he snapped his fingers, and the girl heard and spoke perfectly...A thousand voices seem to whirl over my head, saying, 'You can do that!  That's the Bible way!  That's the way Jesus did it.  That proves that the Bible way works today!  You can do that!  That's what God wants you to do!...At last, I had seen God do what He promised to do through a human person....We (recognized) saw Jesus in (William Branham) a person."
After fasting, praying, and meditating on scripture both daisy and Tommy recognized (had the insight/ revelation) that the word was Jesus.  This was The Third Vision.
The Fourth Vision was when reading Joshua, the Lord impressed a message upon TL, "My son, as I was with Dowie, Woodworth-Etter, Lake, Wigglesworth, Ritchie, McPherson, Price, and others, so will I be with you...You cast out devils; you heal the sick; you raise the dead; you cleanse the lepers....Now I desire to use you."
Osborn, Tommy Lee (TL)                    The Best of Life                                   www.osborn.org 
This is a wonderful mentoring book, a tutorial on improving self image to fit into God's mould. 
Sexual fantasy is the counterfeit of what God intended us to use our imagination for.  Human imagination was intended for us to visually picture God operating in the Spirit through our bodies accomplishing all that Adam and Eve were created to be and do plus all that we were created to be and do in and through Him.  Visualization is NOT having a vision!  However, it is a tool to help us mature spiritually.  Remember, Jesus literally SAW God do/perform before He acted out anything on earth.  "Spiritual seeing" can be a visualization in the mind's eye, dream, vision, spiritual transportation to heaven or another location, etc.

4 and 1/2 year old Victoria visits heaven.
Pennington, Mary Jo               Big Angels and Flaming Wild Horses                 www.6bigangels.com
8 year old Victoria continues to visit heaven. 
Some of the concepts in this book and in recent conferences will be intolerable/hard to digest/unacceptable/incredulous for some.  No worry.  Take the parts that you can handle, and then leave the rest in God's hands, not yours.  Do not have a critical spirit, but rather a loving heart.  Thank God for any insights/blessings and pray for Victoria and her family.
It seems to Victoria (as interpreted by her grandmother) that individuals exist as spirits before they are conceived/born.  Not only that, they can choose their parents and argue for/against premature death in the womb.  Likewise, after a child is aborted, it goes back to God, Who grows/parents the individual up into maturity.   Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I set you apart."
Victoria's grandmother also contends that aborted babies intercede for their parents.
Chapter 16 On Earth As It Is In Heaven  "In my dream...I...looked up at the sky and saw stuff floating in the air.  The air was thick like gelatin that has not quite set up.  A  voice spoke out of the thickness... 'This is My protoplasm.  Open your mouth and drink Me in.  Drink in My DNA.  Drink in My atoms.  Drink in my cells.  Drink in My rainbows.'..As I drank them in, the hurts and injuries disappeared."
Pennington, Mary Jo    I Heard God Yell, "Save the children; catch Victoria."    www.6bigangels.com
First in a series of children's books. 
Reading these books out loud to/with your children will precipitate/facilitate their having their own heavenly encounters.  Apparently, babies already have daily/frequent heavenly visits, but undiscerning parents/adults deaden this spiritual life.

Chapter 11 Divine Visitations shares that Godly heaven on earth visitations do happen and to expect them.
"The perfume of the Lord will come upon people in a meeting, usually resulting in deliverance.  The smell varies; at times it smells like lilies...like roses or sweet apples.  At one meeting the smell of freshly baked bread filled the room."
"People have felt oil on their heads or hands...In a large communion service with Morris Cerullo in London years ago, the auditorium was filled with a very light rain, which I felt on my face and hands for nearly an hour. 
Other visitations last longer.  Their specific purpose is to bring a revelation of Jesus and the Father.  You cannot choose to have a visitations....In  Orlando in 1986 one visitation lasted for 7 days...In Virginia in 1992 I had a similar visitation that lasted 3 and a half weeks...often while I  was driving.  As before, the Spirit lifted me into the heavenlies."

They share a WONDERFUL miracle of a child, a twin, being rescued from the womb of a dead woman as she was being buried.  This orphan child nursed off the animals' milk (goats and camels) to stay alive.  God appeared to Richard, at about age 6, and revealed Jesus to him.  Now, Richard, an African youth, like so many wounded/broken children, has become a vehicle of God's healing other children, when he prays for them.  Rather than exclusively using priests and adults, God more and more is raising up children to be His arms and legs and heart and power.

Walters, Kathie                        Columba - The Celtic Dove                    www.goodnews.netministries.org
Part 3 Angels shares Irish Catholic Saint Columba's vision of the death of Irish Brendan.  "'Today is the birthday festival (feast/ festival/communion day) of the blessed Brendan...Go; obey my order, for last night I saw heaven suddenly opened and choirs of angels descend to meet the soul of Brendan; and by their incomparable brightness, the whole area was illuminated.'"
b)Columba said, "'Let us pray for some monks in the Abbot Comgell, who are drowning in the Lough of the Calf (Belfast Lough),  for at this moment they are warring in the air against hostile powers who are trying to snatch away the soul of a stranger who is drowning along with them.'''  Subsequently Columba reported "joyfully, 'Give thanks to Christ, for now the holy angels have met those soul and have delivered that stranger guest and triumphantly rescued him from the warring demons.'"
c)"In the Isle of Hinba (Eilean-na-Naoimh), the anointing of revelation wonderfully rested upon him for 3 days and nights.  He remained neither eating nor drinking within the house, which was filled with celestial brightness...Afterwards he declared...that he had seen openly manifested many secrets hidden since the beginning of the world.  And some obscure and difficult passages of the scriptures became plain and clear to the eyes of his heart...He complained that his foster-son, Baithene, was not present" to write down the revelations. 
d)Columba shared, "'I saw holy angels sent from the throne on high to meet me and lead forth my soul from the flesh.  But they suddenly stopped...That which the Lord granted me (namely that on this day I should pass away from the world to Him) was quickly altered, yielding to the prayers of of many...To these churches it has been granted by the Lord (though against my will) that 4 years from this day are added to my life.'"

"I was kind of freaking out about the enormity of it all until Jesus took me to heaven and began speaking to me about Father’s house. In My Father’s house are many rooms…so He showed me some of them! I got the tour of the food warehouse (awesome - gonna need that) but also the storehouse of building materials and furnishings! Which would I like - do I want double or triple decker bunks…what paint colors do I want for the walls… It’s all there! He continued to tell me out of John 14 that I will learn about His preparing a place for us as I walk in faith and begin preparing a place for the children to come. I will learn about His heart for His kids. And He reminded me - He was making His home with us. So if Daddy is in the house do we need to be concerned about enough food or clothes or blankets? Of course not. If little ol’ me wants the house to be beautiful and nice for the kids how much more so does He? I can’t wait for it to be ready and to fill it with kids from all over the south (of Sudan, Africa)."  www.iris-sudan.org

Once the root cause is revealed, the disease often flees.  Such is often the case for autoimmune diseases with a root cause
of bitterness where the disease attacks and tires to kill the individual.  Bitterness is often called anger turned inward. ] 

Cox, Paul L  The Power of Dreams in Generational Deliverance   http://www.aslansplace.com/insights/pwrofdrmsingendel.htm    
"The Holy Spirit showed us that it started 57 generations back, and was repeated in generations 46, 39, 30, 12, and 6. Further, it began in England and France. A priest had raped a woman, and a child had been born, identified as a bastard, and rejected by the father. A man-hating and woman-hating spirit was present, which explains why the woman felt blocked every time she tried to worship. The key of worship had been given away."

A vision is a revelation.  1st a revelation of our heart/nature.  2nd a revelation of God's heart/nature. 
A dream is a revelation of His plan for us.
Each of us need to pray after every dream/vision to cancel or to fulfill it.
If we receive a vision we need to (1) pray (2) wait for any revelation (3) prepare or act.
Benny suggests that each Christian needs at least one vision in order to pursue his/her destiny.

http://thetbjoshuafanclub.wordpress.com/2009/06/09/tb-joshua-i-lived-a-rejected-and-isolated-life/ "Concerning my calling, I was in a trance for 3 consecutive days, then I saw a hand that pointed a Bible to my heart and the Bible entered my heart and my former heart seemed to have immersed with the Bible immediately. Then, the awareness came and I saw the Apostles and Prophets of old with someone whose head I could not see because he was tall to the heaven and suspended in the air. I believe it was our Lord Jesus Christ sitting in their midst. I also saw myself in their midst."
"People will now begin to wonder if it was God or Satan talking. For instance, if they hear ‘Come’, they will be wondering if it is the voice of God or Satan because they cannot recognize the voice again. And because the visions are no longer clear, they begin to blaspheme and say all sorts of things. They will now rely on what they read in the newspapers. But whatever you read in the newspaper, as a Christian, you are supposed to examine it in the light of God’s work and that’s the only way we can get the true picture. Feeling is not faith, faith is not feeling. Feelings are influenced by what we hear, what we see and what others tell us."

"When I was in a prayer meeting in Orlando the Holy Spirit told me to go into the next room which turned out to be a dining room. I said, 'Lord I don't even know this lady whose house I'm in, I can't go wandering off into another room, she'll wonder what on earth I'm doing.'
But the voice of the Lord came again and so I stood up and went into the next room. I just stood there as I wasn't quite sure what it was all about. Suddenly a light beamed down on me from above and lifted me up. The Next minute I was standing in the Old City in Jerusalem. Jesus came and we walked along the street. Then I was standing in the back of the Mosque with Jesus. I was shocked as I was always very careful to avoid the Mosque when I went to Jerusalem. There were men kneeling on the floor in rows. Jesus told me, 'Wait here.' He walked forward and touched several men on the shoulder and then came back to where I was standing. 'These men are going to be saved,' He said.
Then we were outside and we were walking in the street. We passed an old couple with a bread cart, and Jesus said to me 'These are having a hard time financially, but their neighbors are going to help them.'
We passed other people and Jesus told tell me about them. I remember He drew my attention to a Jewish girl with dark hair. 'She is engaged to be married and her fiancé is seeking Me. I will send someone and he will find Me,' Jesus said.
We came to the end of the Via Dolerosa and He said to me, 'You have to go now, I am going to visit the prayer meeting at the convent.' This was the convent that Mother Barbara was. Mother Barbara had fled Russia with her family when she was a young girl and had brought with her a famous prophesy given in 1911 to a Russian monk. It was a prophetic word for the nations.
'I will come with you.' I said. 'No, you must go now,' Jesus responded. 'I will stay,' I said, but next minute I was back in the dining room in Orlando.
"If you have had these experiences where you go away in the Spirit, you will know that it takes a while to "come back." You can't move for a while, it's like you are frozen, even your eyelids don't move. There were a group of ladies leaning over me praying in tongues. I guess they were afraid I might die on them."

Saint Antony    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/VITA-ANTONY.html     
82 "He became dumb...And his companions perceived that he was seeing a vision. For often when he was on the mountains he saw what was happening in Egypt, and told it to Sera-pion the bishop [15], who was indoors with him, and who saw that Antony was wrapped in a vision. Once as he was sitting and working, he fell, as it were, into a trance, and groaned much at what he saw. Then after a time, having turned to the bystanders with groans and trembling, he prayed, and falling on his knees remained so a long time. And having arisen the old man wept. His companions, therefore, trembling and terrified, desired to learn from him what it was. And they troubled him much, until he was forced to speak."

"I was teaching at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and I was also playing as associate concert master in the Tulsa Philharmonic.  I was on my way home from an opera concert, and I was kvetching, complaining to God about the opera, the music was so beautiful, but the plots are from hell. They were just so negative.  I stopped the car. I was getting ready to go inside. It was late.  Suddenly, a cloud filled my car.  The cloud came into the car, like I was up in an airplane, and I couldn't see anything.  Then I just broke and melted over the steering wheel, and I began to weep and cry.  I heard the Lord say 'Son, you can entertain people for an evening, and that's ok.  But if you will go and minister and perform for Me,  I will do more than just entertain people for one night.  I will change lives forever. Which do you want?'  And I was like, 'I'll do whatever You want, God.'  He said 'Ok then. Are you willing to play what the world calls foolish and simple?  Because I do My greatest works in the earth through what the world calls foolish and simple.'  I said, 'Yes,' but I didn't understand what He meant by that."

e-mail 2/3/2008  Singh RAM'S TESTIMONY PART 11 -God - the devil or even aliens?  ramsingh135@yahoo.com
"I began this new quest to hear from God, trying to understand why he had chosen me out of all the people there were in Derby. There is a very strong Muslim, Indian, Hindu community in Derby. I started to attend the local EMCF fellowship there; I would go with my now good friend Chandresh. The renewed vision of being able to walk with confidence into the presence of the king consumed me. I began to pray and worship and would be excited every time I went to bed. I expected Him to meet me.
I woke up at 3.33am that night and was wondering way the Lord had not met with me in some way. So I did the routine pray for the church then my family then myself it would get real late as I would be having to get up for college early. Well not much happened I somehow got into a routine of praying and mainly worshiping after college, and then waking up early in the night. 3am become my second prayer time each night. I would call it the "hour of power." I started to wonder why God would not answer my prayers.
They mainly consisted of, 'You tell me what it is you want me to do and I will go and do it!'
But one night I was falling asleep after doing the normal prayer and was closing my eyes but I was still awake saying, 'You can still come and meet with me.' Telling the Lord I was still awake and ready.
Then suddenly something started to happen.
I got scared as a wind entered the room and was hovering over me and I felt it start pouring into my chest.
My mind was in full red after I realized I was frozen on the bed my arms and whole body became heavy and I could not move, I had no control over my body and I was stuck there. This unknown presence was pouring into me!
I started to try and fight and struggle and I managed to say, 'No in Jesus name!'
Then as soon as it came it was gone. I lay there and the presence had lifted and I had regained full control of my body. I was left wondering what had just happened. I kept thinking it must have been a demon or some thing maybe even aliens coming to take me away with them!
His Presence came again
The next day I did my prayers and worship and went to bed as normal I awoke at 2am and did my normal chat with the Lord until about 3am. I started to get tired and wonder why I was even praying at this crazy time of night..
I lay there on the bed once again just waiting for the Lord, then suddenly the liquid presence came it was pouring all over me. I could not move and was once again thinking the devil had come to attack me. I started to fight and as soon as I did it lifted and was gone again.
I begun to really complain to the Lord about way the enemy was attacking me...This went on for close to 2 weeks and one morning after my early morning "attack" the Lord put a verse in my mind, I looked it up it was Matthew 7 verse 7 and what really spoke out to me, It was about if I ask for bread in His name, I (Jesus) will not give you a stone but give you good gifts.
It was like I heard the voice of God in my heart saying, "It’s ME!" I felt kind of silly that I had been praying and asking him to come and every time He did come I fought him as if he was a demon or something unknown to me. This was going to change!
That day I went and did my studies at college and ran home ready to pray. I was really excited that I was going to hear the voice of God that night. I could hardly sleep...I opened my eyes it was 3.00am .I was ready!! I lay there with my hands up in bed saying, 'I’m ready, let’s go!'
I waited just worshiping the Lord under my breath. I would pray sometimes in silence as I did not want to awake my family. As I lay there, suddenly it started. I felt that warm liquid thick wind start moving around me and hit me in my chest. My mind was going crazy again saying, 'This is not God,' but I was fighting myself saying in one breath, 'Hold on longer' and with the next breath, 'I cannot move!'
As I lay there, trying my best not to say anything just trying to hold on as long as I could. The wind started to move up my chest and started to move around my head. It’s something very hard to describe but it started to pour into every part of me, my ears, nose, mouth, eyes and I started to hear a great noise. There was a great swirling, like breaking though some thing and each time it would get louder and louder. "No!" I shouted, and as soon as I did, the Presence left me.
I looked at the clock; it was as if time stood still whenever this presence would come. I lay there all night after that and was very tired all day at college. I was disappointed, with myself for not holding on longer than I had.
A few nights passed and nothing happened, praying without any encounters. It was very draining, at least when whenever the Presence came I would not feel tired the next day. The Presence of God was always renewing and refreshing.
The days turned to weeks and I was coming to the point of giving up I was still dreaming like crazy but I was looking for the encounter, something new!
I would still wake up at 3am. Sometimes I would just grunt a prayer like, "Yeah, I’m sure you'r going to come, I guess not. I will try again later." As my frustration snowballed I was really hungry for anything from the Lord. I once again woke up in the early hours and lay there grumbling at the Lord and I turned to try and go back to sleep the wind came back into the room and began to pour into my chest the wind moved fast, it was like warm oil. Something real, it started to pour all over my face, in my ears, mouth, and eyes, going into my mind the noise was like a great sound that got louder and louder, breaking into a new level and faster and faster.
I thought I might die if this continued. I kept telling myself to hold on, keep holding on. It was getting too much for me once again. Just as I was going to pull out, there was a great flash, and in an Instance I was moving at high speed flying on the back of an Angel, going down the streets of Derby. The speed we were traveling was faster than anything I had ever experienced. Then we started to move higher up, and we got so high, we entered another realm, some place. I felt the wind, I could touch it, taste it.
We stopped and the Angel led me up a mountain, talking with me and showed me a temple of worship for the nations. An incredible site! I opened my eyes and I was back in bed looking at the clock - 3.33am, it was like time had frozen. I asked myself, 'Wow what was that?' I was so excited I did not understand what had happened but I knew it was the Lord!
I awoke that morning saying to myself, 'I know God!' I had tasted something of God and it was good.
I was desperate to get home and pray and worship and meet with the Lord. I started to have nightly encounters with the Holy Spirit. Each time I held on I would be taken somewhere or shown some thing.
The Cross - I was there
Another time I was praying and asking the Lord to show Himself to me, and thanking Him for what was coming. As I closed my eyes it started, His spirit came and I was taken to a certain place. The Lord allowed me to have a full vision of the time before he went on the cross, it was a very vivid vision. It began with darkness, then I saw Roman soldiera kicking and spitting on a man who was on His knees on the floor. Then I saw them placing the crown of thorns on His head then I realized it was the Lord .
He was carrying the cross, there were demons swooping down and hitting Him. He fell down and was told to pick the cross up and was led up to the crucifixion place
The sky was a dark red color and as they began to hammer the nails into His hands, as the nails sank deeper he began to transform into a baby (defenseless) it was left to die. His head fell down as if dead then there was darkness. Great silence and darkness lasted for a while then I saw something coming and at first it looked like a little cross but it got bigger and bigger, and then there before me was a shining gold cross.
As I viewed this cross, looking at it, I began to pull away and see this cross standing alone on a mountain hill, looking. As I was pulling away from this I noticed many other small cross's, millions of them. I had a feeling that these were people whom were truly saved and evil could not touch these. As I saw this I noticed demons flying around.
They went down into this area and sat on the cross's and as soon as they sat the Angel of the Lord came out like lighting, flying. He was huge and so fast, with His sword out in front of Him, he cut the demons up and then placed the sword in front of him and was flying straight toward me. He came so close that I saw His eyes and the cross of the Lord was what I saw in the eyes of the Angel, it was like He flew into my mind.
I was then taken to a place, which I first though was hell, it was an underground place where a huge dragon sat, and there was a big boiling pot of hot lava. The dragon was stirring it and it was full of white cross's. He was laughing as the cross's were placed into this water and as I watched this I was hidden in the Rock. I thought to myself, "This is the devil and fear gripped me and I wanted to get out of there.
As I started to look around I looked straight at this big dragon and it started to breath fire and opened it’s mouth wide and thousands of spirits and demons started to come out. I really wanted to get out of there now!!
Suddenly I was back on the surface of the earth, it looked like a war had just taken place across the planet and the sky was a dark red color and I could see no signs of life there.
I began to look to the sky and I was overcome with the feeling of the coming Presence of the Lord. I was shouting, 'He's coming, He's coming!' to myself. Then the sky opened and from the heavens cross's began to fall down to the earth in a spiral motion. They fell fast it created a circle. I began to feel I was about to meet the 12 disciples of the Lord coming down. I could not begin to count how many cross's were falling.
When that stopped I saw a big red carpet being rolled out. As if it was rolling out, two great lions of gold were running along the carpet across the earth and I was about to explode with excitement about the Lord coming back!!
Then I was taken away and I was in space somewhere, walking on a marble floor. It was a palace of some type with angels standing guard at the corners of the building. These angels were way over 20 feet tall.
Indian demon
As I turned the corner there was a massive Indian type demon there and he was coming after me. I turned to see if the angels would help me but they remained at their posts.
This demon came right for me it was ten times my size! and I fell down and cried out to the Lord to help. This demonic being breathed fire out, but a cross the size of a house came and acted as a shield for me. The flames were pushed back and the cross moved fast and went through the demon’s chest, and the demon dropped down dead! End of encounter/ vision.
I sat up from my bed and was so excited and blessed the Lord..
Addicted to God
All I wanted, was to hear His voice. I had become so addicted to the presence I began praying 4 to 5 hours it felt like nothing for a taste of what I had been created for. My family would wonder what I would be doing in my room all this time. But during this time I also had demons manifest in my room and try and intimidate me. I would be wide awake and know a demon was in my room. The name of Jesus would always be more than enough; As I got closer to Him the more the darkness around me seemed real as well.
One time I woke up and there was a man outside my window. He was an Angel. I got so afraid that I hid under the bed covers and prayed, "Jesus I’m not ready to die, save me!" The angel just went away. The Lord trained me to value and loves His presence. At times I would pull out of the intensive encounter with the Spirit, the main reason I pulled out, was I never grew accustomed to His presence. There was always a fear of the Lord and also the intensity of the Presence would always seem to increase.
His presence was very overwhelming power. The Holy Spirit never forced Himself on me. He would always stop when I even made even a hint of a sound of "No.
There was a cost. Each time I pulled out of the encounter, I would have to wait. At first it would be a few weeks, then when I would pull out again it started to be months.
I felt I was dying as I needed His Presence. It was all I needed. I had lost all desire for anything in this world had to offer. Girls, money, His presence was everything to me.
Between me and God
These encounters went on for the first five years of my Christian walk, during that time I spoke to many people about some of the things but the response I received was more negative than positive. People would say that these things don’t happen now, or tell me I was praying the wrong prayers. Even try to cast demons out of me!
I started to keep anything that happened to me as a personnel thing between me and the Lord, but I did keep a journal of any really awesome encounters. I just thought these encounters happened to all Christians.
The season of Change
My main goal and desire still was the same to hear the Lord speak and find out what He wanted from me. I had finished my first and national diploma in science at College, so I was already thinking what form of career I was going to pursue.
I was doing work on the side with a good friend from the church Peter Cripps, He was a gift from God to me. He had the gift of loving the unlovable and he was a true man of God. We would work together most days, doing gardening work or anything else that came about. We spent many a day just preaching to one another about our hopes and dreams.
His wisdom and character is some thing I will never forget he and His wife were to play a vital roll in where my life would be heading for the next few years.
I had been attending a really wonderful house church where each week we encountered the presence of the Lord. The leader of the house groups was my mentor also. I was learning more and more about church life and the Bible. My encounters had stopped since I had pulled out of a very intensive encounter with the Holy Spirit. I had pulled out and I knew, when I did I would have to wait for a while for Him to return.
I continued my routine of praying and waiting in the late ours of the night. This had gone on now for 3 months it had been the longest I had to wait for His tangible presence.
I started to fast, but was rebuked by the Lord as I was trying to earn His presence. He did not tell me to fast, I was just striving and doing anything I could to get Him too meet with me!
I had also grown in some of the gifts of the Spirit. I would move in the prophetic pretty well, and spent a lot of time learning to hear the Lord for others. I would be dying, really not having a will to live because I longed for His presence so greatly. But in meetings I would feel the power of the Holy Spirit and get so drunk and minister to people. Every one would say "You are on fire for the Lord," but I did not feel that way. I learned very fast that manifestations and moving in the gifts does not necessarily mean you’re close to the Lord.
I began to go through a cold turkey type experience. I was addicted to His presence and there was nothing I could do to make Him come. All I could do was be available and be in the right place for Him to speak to me.
It was becoming very hard for me to keep up the prayer routine as it was so silent. I would wake up at the "Hour of power" and say a few words, and then turn over and try and fall back to sleep.
This went on now for 5 months, I was coming to the end of myself...
Another night it was 2:30am I decided to pray. I was crying about why He would not come to me, I then said some things, more complaining as I lay there again I just kept saying. 'I'm ready, just come.' I then got angry and said, 'Why did Jesus die if not for restoration with me and God?' then I said, 'Oh well, I guess I will be talking to you tomorrow.' I was still in hope for Him to come.
The golden light
Then out of nowhere a great golden light filled my room!! It was so bright I curled up in to a ball with my head trying to hide under the covers, it was like on a summers day and you close your eyes and can see the brightness through your eye lids.
I was thinking, 'I’m really dead now, as I had made the living God angry with me.'
I was telling myself to turn and see this glory, but the other part of me was saying, "Are you kidding, you’re about to become dust!" The fear and excitement cannot be described. Then as I lay there, trying not to move or even breathe, or even and think any thoughts, (I had become like a dead man) the Holy spirit started to come over me, the swirling presence like a great wind moving all over me, it then started to pour into me. I was once again frozen and the warm oil of the Spirit started to pour all over my head and entered by my mouth, ears ,nose and eyes it just enveloped me. The sound begun to get louder and louder. With each level I went through the louder the sound got, as well as the intensively of His presence filled me.
I was holding on with all I had then…I had made it past the sounds and once again I found my self on the back of an Angel. He was flying at great speed, He turned and told me, "You’re going to see God!"
We went though the city of Derby and then flew higher in to the night sky and suddenly I was enveloped in the cloud of Glory that was in my room. I was having a conversation with the Lord and was saying, 'If this is really you, I’m going to raise my hands up and feel your Glory.' I raised my hands on the bed, and felt the thick warm presence of the Lord over me. It was incredible!
I opened my eyes and I had my hands held up. The room was once again dark and it was 3.30am on the clock. I told myself "don’t tell anyone about what had happened as they would be carting me off to the mental hospital" . I was on a high for the rest of the day as I was thinking, 'I'm going to really meet God.' I had house church that night I was so excited I prayed and asked the Lord to speak to me and to tell me what was going on. During the meeting no one gave me a word and I was getting ready to run home and have my 'encounter.'
As I was leaving a friend stopped me and said, 'I don’t know what this means but I saw you standing in the ocean and the waves were getting bigger and bigger until they completely overcame you and you had no control'. I grabbed my friend’s hand a said, 'That is the word of the Lord.'
I was so excited about what was going to happen that night. On the way home I kept saying 'I’m going to meet with God. I’m going to meet with God.'
When I reached home I did not even eat. I ran upstairs and started to pray. As I awoke at the normal time, I did not even pray. I just said, 'OK I’m here, let’s go.' I lay there saying, 'You’re welcome, just come do whatever you want to.' The presence came! It started to fall on me and it felt overwhelming, the liquid presence was pouring into me and my head felt like it was going to explode. The weight that was pouring into me was such that I had never come close to all the other times. I felt my body sinking and like the very breath was begin sucked out by that Presence. The noise in my head was such that nothing can explain it.
Once again going to levels of sound and each level brought a louder sound, I could not take this, I started to tell myself pull out! I could not take it, I was fighting myself as this was happening, trying to hold on, thinking it would break, but the presence kept coming and coming until I felt I was about to die there.
I started to lose my ability to talk and I got a faint 'No' out of my mouth. And as suddenly as He came He lifted and was gone. As God’s presence moved on, I saying, 'No, please come back!'
It was too late. At that moment I realized it might be a long time until I would have another opportunity.
Training for reigning.
The next day I was involved in some meetings, I was approached by a lady from out of town and she felt she had a word for me. It was a word was about God emptying the well and laying new foundations. Believe it or not I had another two people come and give me the same type of word in one day."

"I was given a vision of the night.  There was an endless line of people, slowly walking forward.  Their faces seemed empty and somewhat confused.  I was told to come closer and, to my horror, as the throng moved forward, I saw the persons at the front of the line falling over a cliff into a horrible fiery pit, disappearing from sight.  I heard, 'If you don't preach the Gospel, every person who falls over the edge will be your responsibility.'"

TESTING of the SPIRITS

Saint Antony    http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/basis/VITA-ANTONY.html          
"43 'For your fearlessness against them (demons) hold this sure sign:  Whenever there is any apparition (vision/appearing and disappearing of silent and/or speaking spiritual entities before one's presence), be not prostrate with fear, but whatsoever it be, first boldly ask, (In the name of Jesus Christ,) 'Who art thou? And from whence comest thou?' And if it should be a vision of holy ones they will assure you, and change your fear into joy. But if the vision should be from the devil, immediately it becomes feeble, beholding your firm purpose of mind. For merely to ask, (In the name of Jesus Christ,) Who art thou [9]? and whence comest thou? is a proof of coolness (lack of intimidation/resolve/spiritual muscle/willingness to test each spirit, according to the requirement of scripture).
By thus asking, the son of Nun learned who his helper was; nor did the enemy escape the questioning of Daniel [10].'"
"51 So he was alone in the inner mountain, spending his time in prayer and discipline. And the brethren who served him asked that they might come every month and bring him olives, pulse and oil, for by now he was an old man. There then he passed his life, and endured such great wrestlings, 'Not against flesh and blood [19],' as it is written, but against opposing demons, as we learned from those who visited him. For there they heard tumults, many voices, and, as it were, the clash of arms. At night they saw the mountain become full of wild beasts, and him also fighting as though against visible beings, and praying against them. And those who came to him he encouraged, while kneeling he contended and prayed to the Lord. Surely it was a marvellous thing that a man, alone in such a desert, feared neither the demons who rose up against him, nor the fierceness of the (desert) four-footed beasts and creeping things, for all they were so many. But in truth, as it is written, 'He trusted in the Lord as Mount Sion [20],' with a mind unshaken and undisturbed; so that the demons rather fled from him, and the wild beasts, as it is written [21], 'kept peace with him.'"
"59 But when 2 brethren were coming to him, the water failed on the way, and one died and the other was at the point of death, for he had no strength to go on, but lay upon the ground expecting to die. But Antony sitting in the mountain called 2 monks, who chanced to be there, and urged them saying, 'Take a pitcher of water and run on the road towards Egypt. For of 2 men who were coming, one is already dead and the other will die unless you hasten. For this has been revealed to me as I was praying.' The monks therefore went, and found one lying dead, whom they buried, and the other they restored with water and led him to the old man. For it was a day's journey [7a]. But if any one asks, why he did not speak before the other died, the question ought not to be asked. For the punishment of death was not Antony's but God's, who also judged the one and revealed the condition of the other. But the marvel here was only in the case of Antony: that he sitting in the mountain had his heart watchful, and had the Lord to show him things afar off."

Ideologies/Individuals that do NOT represent the nature of God

Flanagan, Sabina    Secrets of God - Writings of Hildegard of Bingen    Shambhala Publications
Very short tastings - English translation from the Latin.  God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit does NOT favor one denomination over another, excepting the Jewish religion/race or perhaps the Messianic Jewish religion.  His kingdom is a new one that is spiritual (Christian), rather than of the flesh, or a combination of Jewish blood and Christian spirit.  Jesus is an Israeli Jew; He is also a Christian.
Hildegard had many visions of a speaking white light and was approved by the pope to continue with her writings.  One example of errors - Hildegard contends that God said that "Catholic" infant baptism is OK; that the baptized infant can later lose its salvation if it does not tow the mark.  Yes, parents can stand in the gap for their children.  Yes, parents can dedicate their children to God.  One major problem is the word "Catholic" with a capital C.  Other churches have infant baptism/christening.  We found only 1% of her writings to be aligned with the Word of God and the heart of God, let alone relevant/useful in this generation.  When God speaks, His Word continues to be relevant in every generation.  White lights do speak.  However, we always need to test the spirits, according to the requirements of scripture!

Scallion receives visions, but they are NOT from the God of Abraham, for Scallion believes in reincarnation and spirituality where Jesus Christ is NOT relevant/significant/the cornerstone of existence.  Anyone NOT well versed in scripture, NOT having read through the Bible many times, will be easy prey for such prophets as Scallion, for there will be little discernment.  It is hard enough for Christian prophets to be protected from angels of darkness (dressed in light); pray for wisdom/counsel/ discernment.

                                                               COMMENTARY

Seeing heavenly/holy/Godly visions is often just seeing with spiritual eyes (seeing those things invisible to the human eye), like seeing with military night vision goggles, or seeing with a microscope, or seeing with an astronomer's telescope.

[Sometimes God gives visions, even when Jesus is not honored/understood/revealed to the recipient. 
For instance, the American Indians (who worshipped the Great Spirit) had many visions, but seldom understood that at least some of them were from their Messiah, God's Son Jesus Christ.]

Scripture tells us to be sure to test every spirit, to determine if it is of Him or of the evil one!!!!
