Two Vision Experiences on January 19, 2009

In the vision, I am watching myself from the outside of the vision and see myself as I am walking in the vision. I am walking on a path in the bottom of a very deep gorge or canyon of some type. The walls of the steep mountains all around me are very high. They are very rough in their appearance and the walls of the mountain sides are black. The rocks are black, like the color of ebony. But they are not shiny, just very rough looking.

The path I am walking on in the midst of the deep gorge progressively gets narrower as I walk. There are many people behind me that are with me on this journey, and they are all following me as we all go towards something that lies ahead deeper in the gorge ahead of us. As we walk, the way gets narrower and the walls of the mountains around us seem to get steeper and blacker, if that is possible. The atmosphere in the deep gorge is very heavy but a strong sense of uncertain anticipation fills the air as we all walk forwards, each of us saying nothing as we walk.

After a while the path turns to the right, and then it opens up into a large expansive place. This place is hidden amongst the tall black mountains and it is very holy. The Presence of God is so strong there that it is even hard to breathe. I look around and see the Throne of God in the distance ahead of me within the open area. I saw multitudes of angels and many people also there, and I also could see the Lord and He was sitting upon the throne, and He was radiating with awesome colorful flames shooting from His Being.

There were also very great shafts of light that shined outwards from Him like great light beams or light rays. They reminded me in a way of our earthly great lighthouse beams of light that would shine out in the fog for ships to see so they wouldn’t shipwreck. The great rays of light were living light, and they would shoot forth from Him, especially from His face, and from His whole Body, and from His hands and feet. He was very terrible to look upon, even from afar as the shafts of light would reveal His Holiness and His Majesty as it shined outwards. We cannot fully understand it even when we see it, yet it is very wonderful to behold at the same time. The impact of those great light beams hit me in their brilliance as I behold Him, and the vision leaves.

The scene changes.

The Heavenly Sanctuary

I see Jesus entering into the Sanctuary in Heaven when He rose from the dead. He enters into the Heavenly Temple and He walks in and sprinkles everything with His Blood. I watch Him as He puts His Blood upon the altar and upon the Holy things. Then after a while, He turns around and sees me standing there in the vision, and He reaches out and splatters me with the same Blood. I feel the force of the Blood hit me in the face, and the impact of it stuns me, and the vision ends.

Perspectives from the Father:

Through both of these two above experiences, the Father wants the People of God to come closer to Him, and to enter into a new and deeper revelation of Him. We have yet to fully break through the barriers that are still before us that have hindered the deeper portion that awaits us. There is much that we have not yet appropriated of Him in our daily lives and in our walks. His Living Blood is available to us to not only use, but we are to walk in that revelation of the Covenant Inheritance in even greater measures and with the understanding of the deeper truths that will be revealed to us as we approach the Lord and as we fully embrace His Person each day.

The Church is coming into a new and living way, which our current path of self death and severe purging has prepared us for. It is now time to pass through those last barriers and to be found in Him. We will each obtain profound understandings that we longed to walk in but were unable to in our previous condition. But now, the Grace is given to move into the deep, deep truths that will launch us forwards into fulfilling our high call.

Habakkuk 3:1-4 (ESV)¹ A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth. ² O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. ³ God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. ⁴ His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.

Habakkuk 3:4 (AMP) And His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there [in the sunlike splendor] was the hiding place of His power.

Habakkuk 3:4 (KJV) And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

Deuteronomy 33:2 He said, “The LORD came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand.

Ezekiel 1:27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

Ezekiel 8:2 Then I looked, and behold, a form that had the appearance of a man. Below what appeared to be his waist was fire, and above his waist was something like the appearance of brightness, like gleaming metal.

Matthew 17:2 And he (Jesus) was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.

Revelation 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

Exodus 34:29-35 29 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. ³⁰ Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. ³¹ But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them. ³² Afterward all the people of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that the LORD had spoken with him in Mount Sinai. ³³ And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. ³⁴ Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded, ³⁵ the people of Israel would see the face of Moses that the skin of Moses’ face was shining. And Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

2 Corinthians 3:1-18 ¹ Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? ² You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. ³ And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. ⁴ Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. ⁵ Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, ⁶ who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. ⁷ Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, ⁸ will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? ⁹ For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. ¹⁰ Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. ¹¹ For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. ¹² Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, ¹³ not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. ¹⁴ But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. ¹⁵ Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. ¹⁶ But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. ¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. ¹⁸ And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
