Visions

"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."
Acts: 2:17

This is another subject that one must be very careful about, as there have been many "visions" that careful examination will show that it did not come from the Lord. Once again, it calls for discernment to know the difference, and that can only happen case-by-case.

As the last days are upon us, God has blessed many with real and true visions which both glorify his Name and uplift the recipient. What a wonderful experience it is when the sovereign Lord of Glory visits us with dreams and visions that turn our eyes upon HIM.

His Radiance In The Storm

2007-08-22T12:23:00.001-04:00

While looking at this blog and the wonderful uplifting stories here, I decided I should write this about this one particular story in my life and my walk with the Lord.

I lived in Virginia from 1977 till 1981. I wish I knew exactly what date it was, and, perhaps I do have it recorded in one of my many notebooks, but I don't have it readily available now. I was getting ready for bed and there were storm warnings that night. I cannot remember all the particulars or why I would have been troubled because I have always been one of these strange people who like thunderstorms and find a lot of peace and quiet during them.

On this particular night, just as I closed my eyes, I was not sleeping yet, I saw in the distance, like at the end of a tunnel, a figure dressed in white with a blue sash with His arms upward in a praising attitude. I could not clearly see His face because it was a long tunnel and all was radiant around Him. I knew it was the Lord. There were lightning bolts all around Him and thunderclouds but they could not get through the radiance to touch Him. I sat up in bed and wondered why He let me see this and what it represented. I never found out except there was a tornado that touched down a short distance from us later that night and a huge tree fell about ten feet from our window. I did not wake up at all during that tremendous storm!!!

I have always known He is watching over me and I guess that was His way of showing me during a storm. I do not think I can put into words how really beautiful and special this was but that's my best shot.

My Name's In The Book - I SAW it!

2007-08-12T15:41:00.001-04:00

When I was a young man and first saved, I was in the choir at the church on the hill in Oakland. We were having choir practice one night and were singing, "There's a New Name Written Down in Glory."

All of a sudden I felt like I was standing under a hot spotlight. I looked in front of me and saw a plain wooden table and a person dressed all in white with shoulder-length golden hair, sitting on a plain wooden chair. I couldn't see his face because he was back-to. He had a book in front of him opened up and the pages were not written on. He took a feather pen and started to write down my name. The ink was bright red and had sparkles like small stars in it. I watched as he wrote down my name.

I can say that I saw my name written down in the "Lamb's Book of Life" in glory. When the name was done, all of the vision disappeared. I have had many things happen to me that can only be explained as the hand of GOD.
