Delightful Light

I can only testify to what I've seen and heard when God picked me up by the scruff of my neck and took me back in time and showed me how He began His labors of creation. This is what I saw and heard. I felt myself being lifted up by the scruff of my neck like a mother cat carrying a kitten in her mouth. I was helpless and could not fight to save my life. I knew I was being carried backwards in time as events from my past began passing me from behind. The events passed with increasing speed until they were streaks of light. Then all went dark.   When I arrived at the precise moment in time God chose, a huge empty cavern opened up around me so that I could not reach out and touch Him, making Him unclean before He even spoke for the first time. The cavern was not Him as will be explained in a moment. The cavern was there for a complete separations from my filthy presence in the middle of one that is HOLY and CLEAN. Before God spoke, "Let there be light," there was ...

The spring of 2004 was a massive pivot point in my life. I drove two days in increasingly icy, snowy, and foggy conditions across unfamiliar terrain. My destination was the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Missouri. Less than a week later a demon was cast out of me and I began seeing Jesus in multiple visions both awake and asleep. Being rather ignorant as I was at the time of the spiritual world, I assumed others were having the same types of experiences that I was. So, I did not feel the need to share any of these experiences with anyone. But, I am revamping this blog so I thought I would start from the beginning. There really isn't anything a person can do when God decides to show you a vision. It does not even matter if you like the vision or not. You don't get to pick and choose them. I don't even remember ever praying to see visions from God. They just started happening during a time when I thought those visions meant I was going crazy. In fact, I did...

Revelation 10  was the very first vision interpretation God gave me after I returned home from the 2004 Intro to IHOP internship. After all these years, I can still feel the invigorating living words touching my soul, but I would be an abomination if I expected you to take my words for all this. Instead, pray-read the Bible yourself and ask God if the green words are true. I did not feel like God told me these things. I was not thinking to myself stuff like, "what was it like for John when..." I wasn't even asking God for an explanation of this passage as I had already thought the passage was quite straight forward and needed no further clarity. But, God just broke into my being with a massive unexpected download of knowledge and I cannot ignore it. Let anyone with ears to hear really hear and be enlivened. Back story: The vision of Revelation 10  is preceded by God's judgment of three plaques of fire, smoke, and brimstone which kill a third of ma...

When little children are mistreated, they have no understanding to help them process the sin perpetrated against them. The result is thinking like a child and growing up having to put away childish things. When I was about seven or eight years of age I still believed in Santa Clause. I was so adamant that the tubby red suited dude existed that I got into an argument with my older sister and younger brother about it. My sister dragged me by the arm to my parent's bedroom where she opened the closet door to reveal all the wrapped gifts that year. I stood there so stunned. Tears began to roll down my cheek. My parents had actually lied to me. The same Mom, who not three years earlier yelled and yelled at me for lying had herself been lying to me all these years. My world was literally shattered that day as I told myself, "I cannot trust my parents." The pain of it so deep I drowned the pain with repression. I spent the rest of their lives refusing to believe...
