I like this forum. By the way I seriously like order even if I don't always get it. I like to be able to put things in neat little boxes, when possible. I like Dreams and Visions (and talking about them and whether they're good/bad) here and talking about Names issues there.. That's a good thing to me.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p></o:p>

When I was 14 years old I was seriously searching for God and found Him.

I remember sort of kneeling by my bed, praying like always to God,

And then I wasn't in my body anymore. Everything was golden light and I knew God loved me and He had heard my prayer and come to help me.

Anyway in this place of golden light I asked God about the Bible, or God led me to ask about the Bible(?) He showed me this ribbon of light throughout all time, including the present, and that the Bible was a record of people who had really known *Him* through all time..

And He told me it was true what I had heard, and that it would be good to keep me straight, to teach me things.

And then I asked about Jesus, and He showed me this darker golden light and I knew this meant that He was God in a finite form, concentrated. And God also told me that because of this, because of Jesus representing Him perfectly that God loved Him perfectly. I can still remember the love between Father and Son. God loves us all, but He loves the One who loves us all especially.

God showed me that by reading the Bible and learning more about Him I would know how to please God.

And then I asked God for something, that I wanted to bring Him glory forever and that seemed to please Him and He said that would be my job forever, for all eternity, to bring glory to God..

And then He showed me my life, that I would fail many times but somehow through it all I would bring glory to God, because this was my job from now on..

I was going to be on earth again in order to help people, because this love for people is all twined up in my love for Him who loves all people. I would in a sense by blameless. He said while I would never on earth see Him again like that in a sense I would always be where He was, because I would be blameless. And after this life is done I will get to be with Him like that again.

And that was it, pretty much. I went to bed..

I woke up the next morning wondering what to do about all this, and opened up the Bible I had to a random page and read about Jesus being tempted by Satan..

And a little later I had another vision, of this being who wanted to destroy all life, and I basically said while I'm on earth, since I am on earth in order to help and in this way bring glory to God who loves us, that I would while I'm here on earth basically keep this being from its objective in every possible way. And see to it that as much as saved is possible, which I suppose by unfortunate inclusion means that what must be destroyed must also be destroyed..

Oh yes and I also saw that this being was going to fight me in every way possible, through doubt, lies, making me doubt God, whatever. But I knew that God had promised I was His forever regardless. Also I knew that ... the place where I was is secure..

It's funny but for many years I would say I'm a Christian, or I believe in the Bible. I was afraid of sharing this vision though. It seemed crazy to share it or like maybe I have some special knowledge or power or something(?) Being able to talk about this alone without either pride and with maybe a little concern you might think I'm crazy :) is so cool and so something God has accomplished in my life..

Years later. Many visions and conflicts and problems later.. Many imperfections and me making terrible mistakes later. Many coming to know how much better He is even at this being in the world stuff than me. Sigh. :) I love Him so much. Did I mention that?

K! Anne

PS I was not a Christian at this time.. I'm not sure what I was. I knew Jesus's commandments and tried to keep them and stuff, having been to a Methodist bible study class(?) I definitely didn't know these fine points of doctrine. I didn't know who Jesus was and had always thought he was some kind of messenger from what little I'd learned, sort of like Mercury and Jupiter (I was also heavy into Greek mythology at the time.) So it's funny.. All of this stuff, God showed me. And it turned out to be true, or at least that a lot of other people believe it.. Of course people will tell me "it's not proof" and it's not ... for other people. I was there. It happened to me. I am still there, actually..

In a way I guess I'm always seeing visions. He is always before me.. I am also always having to deal with the enemy and its BS and it often tries to use "visions" or "special knowledge" against me..

It's all sort of part of my life now I guess.. :) Okay see ya! Thanks again Jo for taking the time to clear up that KJV and Yeshua issue even more. It really was helpful and I'm sorry if I came off as mean but we were sorta dealing with this big spiritual question which is a long story. But it did help to explain that yes you really do love your brothers and sisters and sheesh, hush up enemy, already. Believe it or not.

Hope to see you "physically" too one day and give you a real hug.. Yes I do get on the physical stuff a bit but that's cuz, see (deep, dark secret) I want Jesus to be ON EARTH, totally, for even this physical world to be truly, tangibly His. It's a thing. I think it will help and so is within my realm of interest. I want Satan out of the picture, totally. If that's possible. And the Bible tells me it is. :) That's what the whole physical, what will it mean when he really gets here for me, for you, for all of us, for the enemy. Things come up. Maybe you read my post on other board(?) Either way, yes, it is one of those things for *some* reason the enemy seems to hit me particularly hard on, on the subject of actually losing control of even this actual world.

And I turn can get a bit crass and put this into Teeny Tiny Simple Words about it. But that's really not you guys, at all. It's just I'm here on earth in order to help people. I think having Satan dethroned and Jesus here instead, the guy who loves us in charge is good to that end, in fact almost synonomous at this point.. So that's where I'm at right now. Again, in the interest of trying to simplify and break this down into a little box rather than running all over dealing with this sense of helping people and that sense of helping people. Cutting to the chase..

And whether that's good or not, even.. Hm.. Whether I am maybe over-simplifying? but yes, as for physical and spiritual, I'd read what Paul said on the subject as with other things Paul is good at that. How the physical comes first, then the spiritual. Jesus said the same thing, like a seed dropping into the ground (His body dying) in order for the Holy Spirit to come to all. it's a thing.. Can't really get into. That's how it works though. For good reason. See the Bible. It's all there. :) But yes, hm...is Jesus returning to earth again really in the best interest of all concerned? I think so.. :) Satan begs to differ. =D

Anne, thank you for this very interesting and intriguing testimony. I enjoyed reading it very much. Your experience was very much like the one I had in church before receiving the Holy Ghost. On this night, the night I saw that first vision, I had seen this bright, golden light, as a straight line between the lady testifying about Heaven, and me.

It was all I could see, just that line of light to her. then the night I received the Holy ghost, at first, I saw this golden light all around me. I have seen that light a couple times since then. Once was in a vision of a very beautiful flower garden. It was so gorgeous, I could not describe it, but this golden light illuminated the place.

I think you have a wonderful work for God, with the loving and helping people. That is really one of the most important jobs we have on earth.

I do understand what you are saying. And when I seem to be corrective, always know that it is done in love. that seems to be my God-given job. and it does not bring praise or folks liking me. for the most part, it brings me many enemies. but that is all part of being in the army of the Lord.

See, we, I, am in that war in heaven. People mistakeningly think this means up yonder, where ever they think the abode of God is. but see, war is not in the third Heaven. Cannot be. That is where there is no more war, no more sorrow, or pain or tears.

Here, in the spiritual realm, is the second heaven. This is where the WAR is. And I am in the battle hot and heavy.

Sometimes I just sort of want to get out. But no, we must not run in the battle. I must stand and battle Satan and all his army, or darkened ministers. Of which is almost 100% of those 'claiming' to be God's ministers. they are really ministers of satan in disguise. must be real careful on this battle-ground, called earth.

Satan, as a roaring lion, goes about, disguised as an angel of light, seeking to devour us all. But stand stead-fast, my child, follow that light, the word and God's leadership, and you will safely reach the desired haven.

Anne, that was prophecy from God. The paragraph above here was not my own word or thoughts.

Paul, speaking of Jesus, said, henceforth, we do not know him anymore after the flesh. We now know him in the spirit.

So yes, I read your post. and yes, I understand what you are saying. But I also know it is the wrong desire and will get you no where. You will grow as you desire him in the Spirit.

A person said to you, and with this, I fully agree: the things of the Spirit are so much greater and more joyful than the greatest sex could ever think of being.

It is certainly very much true. It satisfies our every longing so much so, that when full of the holy ghost, I did not even wish to come down out of that 'heaven' enough to have it with my husband.

It seemed I had to pull myself down out of heaven to function that way on earth.

wish I was still that full of the Holy Ghost. but many trials and mistakes took that glory away. I now have a more stronger Spiritual hold and stand, but that joy has faded a bit.

I certainly have an eternity more of understanding. but still do not have the first joy of the Holy ghost.

Maybe it takes that to be in this war in heaven.

Again, thanks for sharing this glorious testimony. Loved reading it.

Oh! to share this with people who will not judge me. The only other person who knows about my dreams/visions is my husband. People look at me strangely when I begin to tell them about dreams and visions or even talking to the Lord and hearing from the Lord.

1) The first time that I had a full recollection or cognisance of what was going on was back in 2001. I was alone in my house and in bed trying to get to sleep. Praying to the Lord through Holy Spirit. Thunder began to crash and lightneing flashed (seemingly outside of my bedroom window). Everytime I prayed there was an "answer" in the "thunder" as the voice of God speaking directly to me.

There were very big life decisions to make at that time and the Lord was talking me through it. The next morning I was surprised to discover that there was no natural thunder and lightning or any storm of any kind in and around the neighbourhood.

2) Another time I had a dream/vision was in 2006. I was asleep in bed with my husband. In the dream I was looking out through my bedroom window and saw, or thought I saw, a shooting star and began to wonder about that as it was quite erratic. The shooting star came closer and then I saw that it was actually a vehicle hovering, a very large ship (not your regular TV spaceship lol). I was able to look inside and observe without being observed (or so I thought). I watched a man of great stature and solid bronze like legs and with the demeanor of absolute authority giving orders to other "men" of stature. There was much giving and taking of orders and to-ing and fro-ing going on. The "Captain" had his back to me and then I wondered what he was doing. As though he read my mind he said that he and his crew were preparing for war. He never actually spoke, it was as though He spoke into my mind and not into my hearing. He did not turn to face me but I could see his face as though it were on another screen. It was the face of Jesus Christ as I have seen him in some pictures. Then writing appeared on another screen in front of my vision and I asked him what that was. In the same way, He said it was the blueprint/plan of attack. (By this time I was nudging my husband awake and saying to him, "Look, look." But of course, my husband saw nothing and I awoke and woke him up and we both sat there trying to find some meaning to the dream.)

My faith has been greatly encouraged by those dreams. There have been many more before and since, but none that I can remember properly or that seem significant.

If the Lord gives anyone here a word of knowledge regarding my dreams/visions...I would be happy to know.

OHhhhhhhh my> Julie.

Yes, God gave me the revelation of your dreams. shew. as I read this, chills (not usual for me).. were running all over me and through me.

Some may not believe this, but I have had almost the same dream! Of that spaceship, or boat, flying to me. It was actually a boat flying above me. In it were three people, and the had come to get me. It was so spiritual in the dream, as I looked up at them and they looked down at me.

God has given me hundreds and hundreds of spiritual dreams through the years. Many of them have already come to pass EXACTLY as He gave them.

Your dream shows the starting of the judgment ministry, which will bring the wrath of the Lamb onto this evil church system and world. The true Saints of God, with the baptism of Fire, will be the ones bringing this action.

This TRUTH is greatly obscured from the knowledge of people by the false 'rapture' teaching.

Instead of taking we saints off this earth, we will bring the jugdment right here and set up the kingdom of Christ to rule this entire world.

That is what your dream is about. That captain is Jesus. He will direct our every move, by His Spirit. That boat flying, is our super-natural power with which we will conquer this world.

I am so glad to hear your wonderful testimony. I knew when I read your profile, that you are a true Christian. Glad to have you as part of Build on the true foundation.

Welcome, and hope to hear lots from you.
