A Prophetic Cry for the eyes of our Heart to
be opened and hunger for the deep things of God.
Written by:

2 Kings 7:17 And Elisha prayed, and said," Lord, I pray. open his eyes that he
may see. " Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw, And
behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
As I was waiting on the spirit of God earlier tonight I felt a release in my
heart to call for the Eyes of Gods servants to be Opened to the reality of the
Spiritual realm. Angels, demons, trances, visions, dreams, prophetic experiences
and (The Third Heaven}
The apostle Paul said in (2 Cor 12:2,4) I know a man in Christ who fourteen
years ago whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not
know, God knows was was caught up to the third heaven. How he was caught up into
Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. I
believe these prophetic experiences are about to increase on the body of Christ
and young people.
Two and a half years ago in a three month visitation of Gods Glory that lasted
at times 4-12 hours a day the holy spirit took me into the heavens several times
and out of this season, I received the supernatural release into our ministry
and the healing and prophetic mantle that God has given us. Prior to this
season, I worked in the mill on the green chain and now we travel
internationally doing up to 30 meetings a month or more and are exploding beyond
or ability quickly. The reason I share this with you is because I believe that
it is the "kairos" of God in the spirit to visit his church with what
was the common experience of the early church and our forefathers.: Supernatural
Guidance and visitation"
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the Lord God formed
man out of the dust of the earth and put man in the garden. I believe that as
redeemed saints in Christ, who has made our peace with God and access to the
throne of Grace through his blood that as natural as it is for us with our five
natural senses to touch, taste, smell, hear and see the realm of Created earth.
I know that I am to with my Spiritual senses experience what God has created in
heaven now. I want to see Angels, Paradise and operate in the supernatural
knowing, have visions, dreams and interact with heaven. From the beginning of
the bible to the end you see God speaking to his church Abram, Jacob and Joseph
and Moses through angels. the burning bush, visions and dreams. Daniel saw the
prince of Persia and Michael the Arc angel. Ezekiel was caught up into visions
of God and taken before the four living Creatures, the Glory and fire of God.
Peter went into a trance, Paul had so many prophetic experiences that he relates
to it as a thorn in the flesh was given me, due to the abundance of visions and
revelations. John the revelator and on and on. The experience of Saul and the
directing of Cornelius.
We believe it strange today as a church that one see angels or speak of being
caught up into heavens, or visions and prophetic experiences. We have let the
devil and the new-age movement and every other false God take away Our spiritual
right, and strike fear into our hearts in such away that we trust the devils
ability to deceive us more that God's to keep us. Note I am not saying that we
ought not to test all things and walk in wisdom in how we communicate what God
gives us but lets be hungry for what God have for us in the third heaven. Then
ask him for what he wants from us most the character to be able to stand with
all that he gives us. I don't look for experiences but I hunger for heaven and
all that is mine in Christ. I want to know the realm of where God dwells even as
I know this earth.
I see the Holy spirit in a larger corporate way visiting his church like he
visited smith Wigglesworth with the faces, names of the sick, and demon
possessed at times even before his meetings. God would take John G Lake to the
sick and hospitals in the spirit and he would he heal them and even at times
preach the gospel. What about the translation of Philip from place to place? I
see Trances, the word of Knowledge and angelic experiences that will release the
revelation of sickness and the devils schemes, so we can set captives free. Gods
direction and purpose to his people and warnings like God visited Joseph and
Mary, his direction through dreams. In a world that is hungry for ESP and
psychics, meditation and Guru healing, Tarot reading and Astral travel. We need
to experience the truth of all that God has for us in his Glory and not the
devils false. I believe that even those who read this word, many of you will
even struggle with the reality of what God wants us to have and struggle with
reality of believing that we need to contend for this experience of God
manifested in the church..
