The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

A VISION OF A JESUS-FILLED WORLD COMING TO PASS

THE ESP EXPERIENCES

The ESP experiences started early for me, before entering elementary school. They were often premonitions of impending danger. As I reflect on them today, I see them as warnings from God and, in some cases, divine interventions. In all cases, they were warnings of danger and protection from harm. I did not think about much back then, but I knew that people saw me as a weirdo when I talked about them.

My experiences often came in dreams of things to come or knowing things before they happen. I have even documented several of them here to communicate how God repeatedly warned me of danger and protected me through the early years of my life. I will provide the links to a few of them here:

A DAY OF TRAGEDY

Today’s account was different in that it was a horrific out-of-body experience that was more than just a warning of danger for me but rather for the entire world. This event marked the beginning of the loss of innocence and the ascent of evil in the world.

This experience occurred shortly after high school while I lived with my mom and dad, delivering pizzas in the afternoons and evenings. I walked 2 miles to work and back, still saving money for a car. I started work around 2 o’clock in the afternoon and returned home around 10 on weeknights and as late as two in the morning on the weekends.

One November night, while walking home after a hectic night at work, I felt a big emptiness in my soul. It was like the guilty feeling I would get when I had accidentally harmed someone. However, this was a much larger emptiness, it was as if an enormous injustice had been committed.

I arrived home exhausted that night and went straight upstairs and into bed. Strangely, as I was dozing off, I felt my legs hovering up in the air above my bed. This startled me, and being concerned, I sat up and touched my legs to ensure they were alright.

Desperately needing sleep, I resolved to make it happen soon. Despite my good intentions, I soon sensed that my entire body floating off of my bed. I thought this was crazy; I was exhausted and may be coming down with something. I sat up again only to find myself on the bed as I should. I, therefore, once again resolved to ignore these sensations.

The levation sensation reoccurred, but this time, I ignored them. When I did, I floated upward off my bed and passed effortlessly through the ceiling and roof of my house. I ascended rapidly into the sky, eventually passing through the cloud layer. There, my direction changed, and my altitude leveled off. I continued on this course through the night sky for quite some time. I soon sensed the air warming, which meant I was traveling south. I began descending and eventually passed through the cloud layer and saw a city of lights shining, illuminating the darkness on the horizon. I gradually descended into this large city like an airplane approaching a runway. I arrived, having stopped before a wall of a tall white windowless building. I floated there, suspended about ten feet off the ground. I looked around and saw a line of streetlights in front of the building between the grass and the sidewalk. Each streetlight was made of dark metal that curled at the top like a candy cane.

A woman stood beneath a streetlight with her head down and hands covering her face. She was sobbing uncontrollably. As I hovered above her, I watched for a while as she continued to cry, and I felt a deep sense of compassion for her grief. I wanted to comfort her, to understand her pain.

I wondered what caused her sadness and if I could do something to comfort her. I wondered if she would be able to hear me if I spoke? Then I wondered if I could even talk. I deduced I had nothing to lose and attempted to speak, but no sound came out. It was as if there was insufficient air to speak. I contemplated abandoning my effort for a moment but decided to use a louder voice instead. This time, it worked as I said, “What is wrong, lady?” and then watched for a response. She did not respond but kept sobbing. Not giving up, I spoke even louder, “Why are you crying?” This time, she answered without looking up, “Why, don’t you know? Don’t you know that today… today… they killed the President?”

At that instant, I was instantly transported back to my bed, sitting straight up, thoroughly soaked in sweat, with my heart pounding so hard I thought it might explode, breathing as if I had just run a four-minute mile. I looked around my room only to find I was alone in the dark. I sat there for several minutes, waiting for my body to return to normal, not knowing what to think about what had just happened.

The thought of the President being killed seemed to be a very improbable thing to me. I admired President Kennedy and believed he was doing good things for our country, so I guess his death was something I wanted to reject. As before, I rationalized that this out-of-body experience, while seeming very real, must have been a bad dream and returned to sleep.  

When I awoke the following morning, I felt out of sorts even though I had slept in. I was alone. I went to the kitchen for breakfast before starting my walk to work. I felt displaced, as if I were somewhere I was not supposed to be. Walking to work, things around me seemed abnormal.

For one thing, it was an overcast and gloomy day. The typically busy streets had almost no traffic, and I wondered where all the cars and people were? It was a tranquil walk that morning; the birds were not chirping, the horns were not blowing, and things were eerily quiet. Soon, I had that empty, hollow feeling inside of me again.

I entered the pizzeria through the back door leading to the kitchen. The owner was there watching the television as I entered. Being enraged, he shouted at me, “Do you know what those crazy SOBs did today?” I thought to myself, “Oh no!” For it dawned on me that I certainly did know, and being horror-stricken, I shouted back, “They killed the President.” His mood turned quizzical, and he asked me how I could know this because it had just been announced on TV. I just shook my head and did not answer him. I thought I could never explain what had happened to me the prior night.

I did not know why this happened to me at the time. I wondered why this pre-knowledge was something I should know. Was there something that I could have done to change things? No, I don’t think so. Perhaps just telling the story is sufficient. Or there is more here than meets the eye. After all, the woman under the streetlamp said, “They killed the president.” Maybe my experience indicated a coup had occurred, and an evil organization was now subverting the people’s right to self-rule.

I still wonder what the value for me was to know of the assassination in advance. Perhaps it was another warning of impending danger. Many people believe that this event was a significant turning point in our country, which was necessary to change the nature of our democracy and the direction of our country.

Interestingly, I recently viewed a video entitled “Dark Legacy” about President Kennedy, his policies and actions as President, and the circumstances of his death. In this movie, they demonstrate that Mr. Kennedy repeatedly took action to bring about peace.

As a part of this film, they included a clip of a speech that John F. Kennedy gave to the United Nations in 1961. In it, he stated that he would seek a treaty with Russia to ban long-range missiles. Further, his long-term intention was total disarmament, which would be achieved by eliminating all weapons and armies worldwide. I recommend that you view this film for yourself. You can find it on netflix.com.

The point made above is the diametrically opposite view of the actions taken by the US and other countries regarding Vietnam immediately after President Kennedy’s death. Mr. Kennedy issued a presidential order for the removal of 1000 US troops from Vietnam by 1963 that was reversed just a few days after his death by the new President. (see National Security Action Memoranda [NSAM]: NSAM 263, South Vietnam | JFK Library for a copy of the executive order). Orders for a massive troop build-up in Vietnam were initiated within just a few days of the President’s assassination. It would appear that the military-industrial complex had won.

Kennedy had been effective in stopping the Russians from arming Cuba with nuclear weapons by implementing a diplomatic agreement that included the US to remove missiles near Russia. This action appears to have delayed the military-industrial complex war agenda. To get an idea of how desperately the Joint Chiefs of Staff wanted war, watch the movie Thirteen Days, which documents the course of events surrounding the Cuban missile crises. You can find it on Amazon.

We now know that if Kennedy had given in and approved the military’s recommended course of action to invade Cuba during the Cuban missile crises, our invasionary force would have been nuked on the beach using tactical nuclear weapons. So, in seeking a noninvasionary solution, President Kennedy adverted a massive defeat of our invasion forces and, even worse, a possible nuclear exchange with the Russians that could have been the end of humanity.

So yes, I would say that we lost a lot when President Kennedy was shot that day in November 1963. As for me, I now see that my experience was a warning of things to come, that the assassination of President Kennedy was the day that evil began to take action to overthrow the world, democracy, freedom, and religion.

Since then, they have taken control over our congress and presidency. They now have authority over the medical sectors. They run the offices of the President, like the FBI, intelligence organizations, IRS, Homeland Security, etc. They have compromised the judicial system and our voting processes. They have assets deployed to control state and local governments.

I see the evil and seemingly nonsensical policies being implemented by our government against the will of the people and, in fact, are designed to impair the people they govern. They are everywhere, coiling around us like a Python strangling its prey.

What can we do? First, pray that the evil organizing all of these things fall into the trap they have built to enslave us. Secondly, we must take action to subdue them and remove them from power in a loving way.

I have written the following two posts addressing an essential section of the Lord’s prayer. They can teach you what you need to achieve to take down the actions of evil. They also reveal the objective of your activities. Here they are:

In addition, I will also provide you a posting that communicates my experience in the spirit, as a component of the bride of Christ. It reveals the war that is ahead for Christianity. Here is that link:

Finally, I will present a vision from God of the new Earth. This new Earth develops and matures into a flower that blossoms from a bud and then blooms forever because Jesus lives at its core. This is the destiny of the Christian warrior. Here is the link:

Thats it for today. I hope you find this a helpful and illuminating posting. I would love to hear your comments. May God’s blessings be upon you and yours. Until then,

Preparing for Jesus’s Return: The Living Cross Revelation

A VISION OF A JESUS-FILLED WORLD COMING TO PASS

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

A VISION OF THE CROSS COMING TO LIFE

Some weeks later, God showed me yet another vision. In this one, I saw an old wooden cross standing unattended on an otherwise barren hilltop. God had been aiding knowledge into my brain for some time to improve my understanding of what I experienced, so I knew the cross I saw to be Jesus’s crucifixion cross. It stood there unaided, tilting backward moderately and listed at about a forty-five-degree angle to one side. It appeared tattered, as if no one had been caring for it. 

I lingered there momentarily to observe this cross in greater detail when, suddenly, something moved me nearer for a better view. My observation began by concentrating on the grain of the timbers, which gradually began to glow a fluorescent red-orange color resembling a hot electric stovetop burner.

Soon, the whole cross began glowing, faintly at first but gradually increasing in illumination until it was vibrantly beaming. The cross that had appeared dead just moments before came to life! Blood circulating through the lines of the grain became visible, appearing like the blood that flows through the veins of our bodies, transporting nutrients and revitalizing energy throughout the body.

Shortly afterward, the wood’s transparency increased, giving it a three-dimensional countenance. I could now see down into multiple layers of the wood as everything inside the cross became observable. Subsequently, the glowing red cross began firing randomly colored photons of enlightenment, one blast at a time, in seemingly random directions. Soon, the cross started emitting these photons rapidly, like a machine gun, into all areas of the Earth.

I now see this vision of the cross shooting photons of enlightenment across the Earth as a reoccurrence of what happened in Acts 2, in which the disciples were empowered by the Holy Spirit, who came in the form of tongues of fire and spoke in tongues such that all could understand their words. Here is the scripture which explains this. The photons of enlightenment are the Holy Spirit.

Coming of the Holy Spirit

2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all [a]with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them [b]divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

The Crowd’s Response

5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own [c]language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and [d]Arabs—we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.” 12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

Peter’s Sermon

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only [e]the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 21 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved.’

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know 23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you [f]have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; 24 whom God raised up, having [g]loosed the [h]pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it. 25 For David says concerning Him:

‘I foresaw the Lord always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken. 26 Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope. 27 For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.’ 29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, [i]according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all Witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted [j]to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.

34 “For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, 35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.”‘ 36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”

37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the [k]remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

Let it be known that, according to one of Kim Clement’s prophecies, God has raised up one He calls My David, who lives among us today.

Take Up the Cross of Christ

I now realize this vision to imply that the Christians who seek to be members of the bride of Christ must have the fire of the living cross in their hearts. If they do so, they will do what Jesus did.

John 41:12 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 

Doing these things is how the bride prepares for Jesus’s second coming. The bride is ready for the return of the Bridegroom because she has taken up His cross. The cross of Christ must become alive in our hearts and minds. These things must happen for Jesus to come again.

That’s it for today. May God bless you and yours. And remember to:

The Revelation: Earth Blooming into a Jesus-Filled Flower

Filed under: Messages from God, Prophecy, spiritual warfare — 20 Comments

A Vision of a Christ-Centered Earth: A Call to Hope

Over two decades ago, God granted me a breathtaking vision of a renewed Earth, blooming like a radiant flower with Jesus Christ at its core. This vision, a beacon of hope, suggests that the promised land—a world free from evil—may soon be realized. Today, I see elements of this vision unfolding in our world, particularly through the deployment of satellite networks like Starlink. My purpose is to share this vision and its connections to current events, inviting you to reflect on its meaning.

The Vision of a World Filled with Jesus

The vision appeared while I was in bed, in that twilight place between slumber and consciousness. My eyes were closed when I saw a fluorescent orange globe that somehow radiated its orange light from within, appear over a solid steel-blue-black backdrop. The thought that the orange planet was the Earth came into my mind, overriding the absence of perceptible oceans or continents. I found this foreknowing helpful in understanding what I witnessed here and other portions of this experience as well.

THE SPACE SHUTTLE IS SHAPED LIKE AN INDIAN ARROWHEAD

After gazing at this captivating panorama for a while, I noticed what appeared to be a small black Indian arrowhead rising over the North Pole sky, flying in a Southerly direction while leaving a thin black line or trail behind it. Once again, the thought came to me that this object could be the Space Shuttle deploying a string of satellites.

It continued southward until it disappeared above the Southern Pole. It reappeared at the North Pole a few minutes later, now orbiting at a new longitude. Once again, it deposited a thin black line behind it before disappearing at the South Pole again. The shuttle persisted in laying down the longitudes in this manner until it had printed the ones typically found on a world map. The form of the Earth now resembled that of a peeled orange.


With these longitude lines now printed, the shuttle emerged at the Eastern Equator, traveling on a due westward course and circumnavigating the planet until it had deployed the significant latitudes across the Earth’s sky. When finished, the sphere looked like a globe commonly found in a school or office, showing the longitudes and latitudes, except for its bright orange coloring and lack of topical features.

Afterward, as I watched in amazement, I saw the skin of a single slice of the orange globe (a wedge formed between two longitude lines) begin peeling backward, rolling down upon itself. The skin started rolling down at the North Pole and then coiled downward to form a scroll shape near the equator, exposing an astonishingly gorgeous pink under-layer above. Subsequent sections followed similarly, each section rolling down in order, one at a time. When completed, I saw a beautiful pink upper hemisphere radiating light above the orange scrolls now positioned above the Southern Hemisphere.

Then, I witnessed the silky pink surface transform into the petals of a young, tightly wound flower that matured as I watched. I then saw new growth forming and expanding from the flowers’ nucleus. This expansion forced the outside petals to flow over the sphere’s edge, creating a perpetual waterfall of pink petals streaming downward like a waterfall.


The majestic loveliness of this ever-expanding blossom had me spellbound, and I wished it would never end. I couldn’t help but continue observing this awe-inspiring sight, but then, I wondered if I might be dreaming all of this. I thought, what would happen if I reopened my eyes? So, I opened them, lifted my head, and looked around my bedroom. To my astonishment, I could see the flower superimposed over the features of my darkened room. It was as if my retinas had a semitransparent video projected onto them. Even though I did not understand how this could occur, I immediately closed my eyes, not wanting to miss any part of this captivating experience. Then, I started to wonder why this was happening to me. Why should I know this information, and what significance could this be to me?


As if, in answer to my questions, everything around me abruptly began moving quickly. My vantage point to the flowering globe rotated ninety degrees, such that my view was now directly over the nucleus of the flowering planet, precisely where the new growth was emerging at the North Pole. Then, a portal dilated open at that point, and an unseen force pulled me inside. I found myself at the feet of a Jesus that filled the Earth from pole to pole. When I looked into the perfect clarity above, I saw His outstretched arms, and I believed He was delivering blessings to the souls of the Earth. That is when all of the heavenly peace of this vision faded away.

I have recently realized that this vision must be for God’s people because it is a view of the world to come. I also believe God wants His people to know His glory is coming to those who believe in Him, possibly very soon, because there are parallels between the vision of an emerging Jesus-filled world and the deployment of the Sky-Link satellites.

While viewing the vision, God sent me a message that the straight lines I saw deployed along the longitudes and latitudes of the Earth were satellites deployed by the space shuttle. Therefore, this vision corresponds to the Sky-Link deployment of a matrix of satellites around the Earth by the Falcon 9 rocket. Here is an artist’s rendition of what Sky-Link satellites will look like when fully deployed.

The exciting part for me is that if this proves to be a valid interpretation of this vision, then the blooming of the Earth will soon follow the full deployment of the Sky-Link satellites. A world filled with Jesus is a world without evil, overflowing with abundance, and a return to the Garden of Eden.

I leave the interpretation to you. In closing, I must say that God’s vision that night was my life’s most vividly real experience, and I stand behind what I have communicated here. The question remains: what are we to do if anything? If I look into the history reported in the Bible, there are many examples of God directing his people to take action to separate themselves from evil. Doing some research here may help in understanding how God works in this regard. The stories of Noah, Moses, and Joshua come to mind.

Thanks for reading, and please feel free to comment, as I look forward to making this a better document or hearing how this post has impacted your life and to possess the vision.

CHAPTER 7: GOD KEEPS COMMUNICATING

CHAPTER 7 – GOD KEEPS COMMUNICATING

This posting is another chapter from my book entitled, Possess the Vision. It communicates the spiritual experiences and messages that were given by God shortly after we moved to California.

Pat and I were expanding relationships at our new church while God was simultaneously alluring us into a closer connection with Him. During this time, I experienced revelations from God that He delivered in several different ways. I have documented four of these experiences for you in the sections below. They are titled: The Audible Voice of God, A Vision of a Straight Path, The White Dove, and A Dream of a Living Cross. 

THE AUDIBLE VOICE OF GOD

One day, I was on my deck, catching some sun while gazing at the magnificent seacoast view (may add a link to previous posting here). When I had received enough sun, I walked back toward my loft door. Then, as I proceeded through the doorway, I heard a powerfully masculine and yet calming voice, speak my name. 

From the moment that this voice began speaking, everything around me started moving in slow motion – as if time itself was slowing down. The typical sounds surrounding me faded, and I instantly knew that I was listening to the audible voice of God. I immediately lost muscle control as my body became as limp as a jellyfish. My legs had suddenly stopped supporting my weight, my knees buckled, and I plunged downward through the doorway, out of control. My forward momentum now propelled my head onto a collision course with the glass top of a pinball machine that stood just inside the loft door. 

Psalm 29:4 The voice of the LORD is powerful; The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

As I had no muscle power to shield my head from being slammed into the pinball machine, and I presumed that I was about to be seriously injured.

Amazingly, my muscle function recovered the instant that His voice stopped speaking. Consequently, I was able to get my hands and arms up to the metal frame of the pinball machine to protect myself from harm.   

I then reset my legs back under me and gradually stood upright. I then began looking around for the visible manifestation of God while waiting for the return of His voice. But neither happened. Not knowing what to do, I replied in the custom of the prophets who spoke, Here I am Lord. My heart was pounding as I stood there perfectly still, anticipating a reply, but there was none. Eventually, I walked off, being very perplexed. 

Subsequently, I could not help continuously thinking about the voice of God. It was so perfect. How could I not wonder about a voice so powerful and yet so soothing at the same time? How could I not wonder about this voice that exhibited perfect articulation and pace and simultaneously use inflections and tone to convey an attraction to it? How could this voice create such emotions of harmony and peace? Why would it call out my name and utter nothing more? I would get insight into some of these questions the very next day. 

The morning began like every other, as I had made it a practice to read a portion of the Bible every morning before prayer. I had set a goal of reading the entire Bible, and the scripture below was a passage that I read that morning:

Isaiah 43:1–2 But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, oh Jacob, and He who formed you, oh Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you. 

This scripture was the confirmation of what had just occurred in my life. Chills ran up and down my spine as I realized that God had just called me by name. I belonged to Him now, and if I did not know it previously, I now knew that without a doubt, He would be with me through all the challenging times ahead. God was with me at that time and would be there throughout my future. He would be there for my walk toward His plan.

A VISION OF A STRAIGHT PATH

A few weeks later, God communicated to me again, this time in a vision. In it, I found myself in a forest of strange trees that had leaves that coiled up, looking something like a tightly wound watch spring. A path had been cut, perfectly straight through the trees that revealed the hills and dales below the foliage. Despite receiving this insight, I did not know what it meant at the time. I asked several people about it, but they could not interpret the vision either. Then one day, I read the following scripture. 

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

Isaiah 40:3 – 5 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

I now see it as a sign that God’s people must make a straight path to prepare for the second coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This message is for the bride. What did John the Baptist proclaim while baptizing men in the Jordan river for the repentance of sin? 

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

The Baptism of Jesus

Matt 3: 1-6 In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah: 

     A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.

4 John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. 5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

The Great Commission

And what did Jesus command the apostles (the 12 foundations of the bride) to do upon His departure? 

The Disciples are Sent out

Matt 28: 16-20 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

Are not these two commissions very similar? 

Psalm 27:11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.

THE WHITE DOVE

One Sunday, we had an evangelist visit our church. We liked his message and resolved to attend his other services later in the week. I was hungry for the manifestations of God and desired to be at each service. Unfortunately, they were scheduled at noon each day, and this presented some work-related issues for me. One obstacle was that I had to drive across downtown Los Angeles to get to the church, and the commute time would be over an hour in each direction. Therefore, attending these services demanded that I be away from work for a substantial time. To solve this predicament, I planned to take an early lunch, attend the service, and then return to work and stay late to make up for the lost work time. 

Something extraordinary transpired on my commute to the second service that week. As I drove down the Interstate in heavy traffic, I saw a white dove off in the distance flying in my direction. As it flew closer, I could see that it was in my lane, flying straight toward me. As it advanced, I noticed that its wings were beating very rapidly and that it was looking right at me.

The Holy Spirit

It became very apparent that the dove was flying toward my windshield, directly toward me. I braced myself as it neared, and at the instant of its anticipated contact, I turned my head away to shield myself from the impact. But nothing happened, and the windshield was undamaged. I speculated that perhaps the dove had swooped away at the very last second. 

I arrived at the service a bit late, but the minister did lay hands on me, and the Holy Spirit did manifest in me that day. I now see this experience as a sign that the Holy Spirit will support the earnest efforts of those who are diligently seeking Him.

A VISION OF THE ABANDONED CROSS COMING TO LIFE

Some weeks later, God gave me yet another vision. In this one, I saw an old wooden cross standing alone on a desolate hilltop. I knew it to be the crucifixion cross of Jesus. It stood there tilting backward somewhat and listing to one side at about a forty-five-degree angle. It looked as if no one had been taking care of it. 

I lingered to watch, and then something moved me much closer to it, and I commenced to examine it in greater detail. My observation focused on the grain of the timbers that began to glow a fluorescent red-orange. The brightness of the wood grain now resembled that of an electric stove-top.  

Then the entire cross began glowing, faintly at first but slowly growing in illumination, until it was vibrantly gleaming. The cross that had appeared dead just moments before came to life! I could now see blood circulating through that grain, just like blood flows through the veins of our bodies, transporting nutrients and revitalizing energy throughout the body.

Next, the transparent wood took on a three-dimensional appearance. I could now see into multiple layers, and everything in the cross became visible to me. Subsequently, the glowing red cross began firing randomly colored photons of enlightenment in seemingly random directions. One blast at a time, these photons discharged in rapid succession like that of a machine gun. The cross of Jesus is alive!

Below is a scripture in which Jesus tells a man to take up his cross and follow Him. 

Mark 10: 20-21 And he answered and said to Him, Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth. 21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.

I now realize this vision to imply that the Christians who seek to be members of the bride of Christ must have the living cross on fire in their hearts. If they do so, they will do what He did.

John 41:12 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 

Doing these things is how the bride prepares for the second coming of Jesus. The bride is ready for the return of the Bridegroom because she has taken up His cross. The cross of Christ must become alive in our hearts and minds. 

SERVING THE CHURCH

We were committed to our congregation in our attendance, tithes, time, and serving God and His people. But even in this capacity, God was showing us what was in store for the bride.

A VISION FOR THE ANNUAL CHURCH CONFERENCE

Our church held an annual conference that had become a tradition over its twenty-five-year history. People of God came from all over the world to teach, preach and worship God. 

One Sunday after the service, our pastor engaged Pat and I in a talk about the conference. He indicated that they lacked an illustration for the cover of the conference brochures. It just so happened that God had shown me something a few days earlier, and I presented it to the pastor. He liked it and had an artist drawn it up for the pamphlets. Here is a description of what I saw.

I saw a star that generated multiple sets of uniquely tinted light beams that flashed in all directions, some reaching the earth, very far away. The rays hitting our planet were sharp and penetrating and included the entire spectrum of light. 

Then suddenly, the star grew several times larger than its original size and brightness. 34 Because of this massive expansion; it was now closer to the earth, and as a result, it scorched our planet with its searing light. 

Isaiah 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD binds up the bruise of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.

Afterward, the starlight slowly dissipated into a soft cloud-like light that encompassed the globe in a canopy. I believe that this is a foreshadowing of the things that must transpire before the fulfillment of God’s plan. Here is the explanation of what I saw in the vision above:

In the beginning, God communicated with His people from a great distance. However, in the future, His words will come in like direct sunlight in summer, and they will burn up those planted in stony ground. 

Matt 13: 3-8 Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. 5 Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. 7 And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. 8 But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.

Therefore everyone anchored deep into God’s good ground will understand His desire more clearly than ever before and this will kindle a revival that will spread across the earth. The result will be a massive harvest of saved souls. The Word of God will become known to everyone, and the people whose roots have grown deep into the living water of life will flourish, but all others will be scorched and die. 

John 4:13 – 14 Jesus answered and said to her, Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

Then God’s love will encircle and protect the earth, and His people will prosper under His soft and gentle love.

Surrender is Followed by a Glorious Vision

The Morning Star Rising on the First Day

Surrender is Followed by a Glorious Vision

Shortly after my surrender to God in the hallway of my home something amazing happened that was to signal a vastly different future for me. It happened as I was in bed. I was in that twilight place halfway between sleep and consciousness that I had a most beautiful vision. I will make an attempt to adequately describe what I experienced, even though I am sure that no description could ever live up to what I saw. None the less I will make an attempt to do so here:

 

The first thing that I saw was a bright florescent orange globe that appeared against a steel blue-black background.

The colors were sharp and crisp, and they emitted light from within somehow. The image was clearer and sharper that anything I had ever seen in my life. From time to time it seemed that knowledge about what I was watching would enter my head. In this regard I knew that the orange globe represented the earth. Despite this knowledge the sphere was one solid color and did not contain any visible signs of continents or oceans.

 

Then an object appeared at the geographic most Northern point of the sphere. The object had the shape of an Indian arrowhead. It was black, pointed on one end and had a short tail on the opposite end. In addition, it was very smooth and flat on the surface.

I thought of it as being a shuttle for some reason.

 

The shuttle started moving due south, leaving behind a thin black line at its trail. It traveled directly to where the South Pole is found and it disappeared, leaving a perfectly straight black line connecting the North and South Poles. It was a line that dissected the globe into two halves. I continued to watch as the shuttle reappeared at the North Pole again. This time it was on a different longitude track, drawing another black line across the face of the orange globe. I watched as it slowly traveled across the great face of this huge globe, seemingly inch by inch. I continued watching for quite a long time as several new lines were drawn over the face of the globe to the left and right of the original north/south line. The new lines were drawn in sets. Each line of a set was of equal distance from the original center line. When the shuttle had completed its vertical slicing, the shape of the globe resembled a peeled orange. All of the lines ran through both the North and South Poles. I was overwhelmed with the beauty of it all.

 

But, the shuttle had not completed its work. It reappeared at the eastern side of the ball’s equator and circled the globe several times until all of the latitudes were completed. I gazed upon the orange globe, now marked with horizontal and vertical lines. As I was marveling at its beauty, the orange skin started to peel away at the North Pole. Specifically, one of the orange-slice-shaped pieces curled back into a tightly wadded roll. This section rolled back until it passed the equator line. It stopped curling and looked like a tightly wound scroll. Then, one at a time, the rest of the orange slices performed the same curling process and each achieved the same result. This process revealed a pink layer that was previously hidden underneath the orange skin. The smooth, pink surface turned out to be the petals of a flower that was about to bloom. The tightly wrapped flower petals started to grow and mature. As they did, beautiful pink flower petals began to unravel. The flower continued to grow, and the petals continued to open up into a mature state. Next, the fully mature flower continued to produce new petals at its center, which is the equivalent of the North Pole point of the globe.

 

As the newly formed petals grew to maturity, they migrated to the outside to make room for new growth. Eventually the petals at the outside edge ran over the edge of the globe. They would hang down in a long stream of petals that somehow remained attached to the flower. The process continued and the train of pink flower petals continued to grow longer as well. I just watched in amazement, awestruck with the beauty of all of this. Then, somehow it dawned on me that this process was infinite. It would have no end. It would go on like this forever.

 

As I continued to watch this spectacular show, I wondered what would happen if I opened my eyes. Was it possible that I could be dreaming all of this? So, I opened my eyes and lifted my head in an effort to look around the room. To my astonishment, the vision continued even with my eyes wide open. Moreover, I could also see my dresser and the walls of the bedroom through the transparent-like vision of the flower. I did not understand how this could happen, but I did not want to miss any part of the dream. So, I quickly closed my eyes again to focus on whatever else might happen. However, I couldn’t help but wonder again about why this was happening to me. Why should I know this? What significance is this to me?

 

I am not exactly sure what happened next. Either the globe moved, or I moved. Perhaps it was a combination of both. Whatever occurred, it caused my perspective relative to the flower to change by ninety degrees. Initially, I was gazing at the flower from a point approximately even with the equator. When the movement was completed, I was gazing down on it from a point directly above the North Pole. To be more exact, I was directly above the precise center of the budding flower. While I was considering this in my mind, an opening appeared in the center of the flower, and I was drawn into it as if pulled by a magnet.

 

Once inside, I found myself at the feet of Jesus. This Jesus was not the same size as the man who once walked upon the earth. Rather, He filled the earth from pole to pole. His giant feet were planted at the North Pole. His head towered to the South Pole. He was dressed in a long white robe. I attempted to see His face, but the distance was further than I could clearly see. I was able to examine His arms, however, as they were outstretched to each side like the statue in Brazil.

It was as though He was administering a blessing to the people of the world.

 

The vision was beautiful in every way. It was more real than any of the experiences in this life. Interestingly, it occurred within days of my surrender. I did not know it then, but God was there once again. He had shown me the big picture or the end state. He had revealed His plan for me by showing me the vision. I was about to enter a world that would bud into a beautiful flower. This world would blossom forever because Jesus was at the center of it. In addition, this vision was not for me alone, but rather, for everyone who places Jesus at the center of their world. For them it is prophetic of God’s blessings that are to come upon His people. It is a picture of peace, well being, love, and relationship with the Father that God gave me to communicate to you. It is a promise of spiritual victory over evil right here on earth. It ultimately is a fulfillment of the Lord’s Prayer that proclaims:

 

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:9 – 10).

 

Therefore, the victory is in our hands. For God’s kingdom to come to earth, His will must first be done here on earth, just as it is being done in heaven. What a wonderful end-state it is! The inspiration to write my book, Possess the Vision, is founded on a world filled with Jesus at the center. As you will soon find out, God was about to bring me into a world filled with Jesus right here on earth.

Review of Prior Postings

For people interested in gaining insight into the context of this experience to everything else that was happening to me at that time, the following section is provided as an index to my postings about them.

In prior postings I have communicated how a life threatening illness sent me to the emergency room near death. My spirit left my body and I experienced the truth of our spiritual reality, of heaven and hell, and the Judgment God. 

The Judgment Seat of Christ
