The Trip to Heaven

This is the third and last vision of what the Lord shared about the coming rain.  

 

Around the year of 1998, I came to a realization. I was hearing many stories about people in the church. Stories about how they were hurting each other and how they were struggling with problem after problem. I heard them talk about how angry or frustrated they were and how they were filled with other negative emotions. I had been going to church and reading the bible for many years. Yet after thinking about all of this, I realized that I was in the same boat that the people in the church were in.

I was going to a church where they claimed to be spirit-filled. None of it made sense. It didn't add up. I woke up and wondered, "Who is God?" Who the church said He is and how they were portraying a life filled with Him didn't match. It painted a picture of a weak God that couldn't do anything for anybody. I realized that I didn't know God and neither did they.

Then, I cried out to God. "Who are You? They nailed You to a cross. You could have destroyed them, but You didn't. They punched and spat in Your face. If they did that to me I would have punched them back. And You didn't." I began yelling, "WHO ARE YOU? They stripped You naked and laughed at You. They mocked You. I would have been furious. I would have been embarrassed, yet You weren't. You loved them... Who are You?" As I asked Him that last time I began to weep, "Who are You? I can read the bible and it tells me Who You are but I still don't know Who You are. The words don't show me Who You are. The bible doesn't line up with what is happening in the church now. Who are You?"

This was a Sunday morning and I was getting ready to go to church. We had a guest singer that day. She sang a song that quoted 1 Corinthians 13. As she sang the third verse explaining what love is, God said to me, "Jim, this is Who I am." I burst into tears and began to feel peace. Until later, I got home and began praying. I started thinking about the scripture and how I've read it so many times. I realized that I still didn't understand and I cried out to God, "This isn't good enough. I still don't understand. WHO ARE YOU?" The Lord did not answer my prayer until many years later.

In May 2005, a brother said to me, "The Lord wants to take you to heaven to show you something." He was prophesying about the Lord wanting to show me Who HE is.

Early 2006. the Lord said to me, "I'm going to lift the veil. You are going to see me more clearly. Then, I'm going to kiss you on the lips and fill you with My passion."

Later in 2006, the Lord led me into a time of praying and fasting. As I was in prayer, in a vision Jesus was passing by me with His hand out to me and said, "Come on. I want to show you something." I was leaning up against a wall inside of a tunnel carved out of stone. The tunnel was lit by torches. I jumped up and took His hand. He took me down a path in the tunnel that led to an arched wooden door. The door handle was a steel ring. He pulled on the ring and opened the door.

The Storeroom of Vessels

As He opened the door, He told me, "This is the room I keep My vessels in." As we looked in the room, I noticed there were clay vessels covering the floor.

He asked me, "Do you see the vessels over here?" Pointing to the right side of the room, He spoke again, " These are the vessels set aside for destruction. I love them the same as all my vessels, though they reject Me and refuse to allow Me to clean them and care for them. They don't believe in Me. Instead, they reject Me and want nothing to do with Me. They hunger for evil and the desires of this world." He paused, then said, "They run to their destruction." As He said this, I could tell He wanted more for them.

Vessels in Progress

He then pointed to the middle of the room, "Do you see these vessels? These are the ones I am working on. They are in all different stages. Some let Me in and some even call out to Me. Some have not even heard about Me, and others think they know Me, though they also like the world and the things of the world. They let the things of the world defile them and draw them from me."

Then, He asked me, "Do you know why they allow the world in, even though it blinds them?" I answered, "No, Lord." "Because of pride. Though I bought them and their freedom form the world with My very life, their pride says, 'I can do what I want and fill myself with what I want.' They don't come to Me with the heart of a child. They allow the world I have set them free from to gain control over them again, thus blinding them from My love and robbing them of intimacy with Me. If only they knew My love for them and my plan for them to remain pure and holy, set aside for My good work. To walk in My love and My righteousness. To seek Me with all their hearts. To be perfect as I am perfect." He paused and said, "Their hearts are not fully toward Me. They don't come to Me with the heart of a child."

The Pure and Holy Vessels

He pointed to the vessels on the left side of the room, "Do you see these vessels? These are My pure and holy vessels. When I clean them out they stay clean. They only want what I want and do what I say because their hearts are fully committed to Me. They love Me and seek for Me, and walk in My love and righteousness." As the Lord talked about these vessels, I could here in His voice His joy and pleasure in their sacrifice for Him.

Jesus said, "Look." He held His hand over one of the pure and holy vessels and sprinkled something in it. That vessels began to shake and something began to bubble up out of it. The liquid kept spilling over the top and running down the floor. As the liquid touched the pure and holy vessels around it, they all began to react the same way. This kept multiplying until all the pure and holy vessels were reacting to the work of His hand. I asked Him what He put in that one, He told me, "Love. Though, anything I put in one such as these it multiplies and bears much fruit." After this, we left the room and walked further down the path.

He Lifted the Veil

We traveled the path until we came to a very large veil. The veil looked very thick and heavy. The Lord reached over and lifted the bottom left corner and said, "Look." Light came beaming out of the corner. I bent over to look in the corner. As I looked. I ended up on the other side of the veil, next to the Lord Jesus¹.

To See Him More Clearly

I saw billowy clouds² in front of me and they were filled with the bright light. The light was the Glory of God. As I stood there, I couldn't think because the Glory of God was so thick in the atmosphere.

As I was standing next to Jesus, I began to feel another Person constantly moving around me. This was the Spirit of God. Although I could not see the Spirit like I could see Jesus, I could feel where He was at all times because of the Glory emanating from Him. He was moving continuously in a swirling and twirling motion all around me. I could feel His playfulness and I could tell that He was having a lot of fun playing with me. Then, He blew through me as if I were loose fabric, filling every fiber of my being. Every time He came inside of me the Glory intensified even more so than when it was surrounding me³.

Are there any words to describe the awesome Glory of God? No! Though there are none, this my best description: First, there is a strong power, very strong. Yet the power is very pleasing. It washes through and around you. The Glory is so intense it is indescribable. Each attribute that you feel in His Glory was so incredible nothing in this world comes close to it. The predominant attributes that you feel in His Glory are His love, peace and bliss, although it is not limited to these. The strong love, peace, and joy are with such intensity you can hardly stand in it, because He is so GOOD! No words can describe the level of His Glory that filled me and everything around.

The Kiss on the Lips and the Filling of His Passion

I began soaking in the Glory that so strongly filled me and surrounded me. As I got lost in the feeling of intensity from His Glory, the magnitude of it captivated me where I lost focus of everything around me. When I regained sight of what was in front of me, I realized that the Spirit was no longer twirling and swirling. I saw that the clouds were now flat like nimbostratus clouds that you see during heavy rain. They were grey and looked as though they were filling up with water, yet the Glory remained in the atmosphere.

There was a light beneath the rain clouds off to the distance. This light source filled everything with light and the was the Glory. The level of Glory intensified even higher and I could tell that the source of this intensified Glory was coming from the light.

As I was looking out over the clouds, a very strong Presence came up through the clouds and made His way over to us. I could not see this Presence. This was God the Father. The Glory increased in the intensity as I felt Him come up on top of the clouds. I could feel Him making His way over to where me and Jesus were standing, although I could not see Him. He came around and then stood two feet in front of me. When He stood in front of me I lifted my arms up to shield myself because the Glory was so powerful and His pleasure was so intense. I felt like I was overloaded with His Glory. It was more than I could handle. I was groaning with intense pleasure from His Glory. He is the source of all Glory. This was much more powerful than the Glory that was first filling the air.

Then, the Father, that I could not see, though strongly felt, passed completely through me. -This was Glory overload!- I went from groaning to yelling uncontrollably at the top of my lungs within seconds. I can't even describe the power and feeling I felt as He went through me. I could hardly stand it. Then, He turned around and passed through me again. He did this, back and forth, three times. Each time overwhelming me and causing the same reaction from me. As He came through my back the last time, He turned facing me as if He was going to pass through again. He paused as if He was watching me, then He turned and went back the way He came under the clouds⁴.

The Revelation

Now, about this time I came to the revelation,  "Oh boy! I'm in heaven!" Some may think, "Are you slow?" My answer would be, "No. When you are in this extreme Glory realm there isn't room or desire for your own thoughts. He consumes all that and more. The power of His Glory is so captivating, nothing else matters. After I realized this is heaven, I started to think, "I want to see the kingdom and the throne and more!"

The Lord knew my thoughts and asked me, "Do you want to see where the kingdom is?"

"Yes, Lord!" I was getting excited because all I could see were clouds, I didn't even get to see Who passed through me. I wanted to see stuff!  Well, He didn't show me the kingdom, although He pointed out to me, "Do you see where the light is coming through the clouds?"

"Yes."

"That is where the kingdom is."

My response was not based on being content, "What are all these clouds doing here?" I wasn't satisfied and it showed. If you ever go to heaven on a field trip, warning: do not grumble! Immediately, I found myself jumping out of the chair I was sitting on in my office. I was in total shock and asked, "Lord. What just happened?"

Once I became calm and realized I was back on earth, I could feel something I never noticed before. I realized how dirty it is here. I felt like I had came back to sewage. It felt so filthy here that I couldn't stand to be here anymore. There was such a contrast. I begged the Lord, "Take me back. Please don't leave me here. It's dirty here." I felt the heavy oppression. I understood more clearly the verse in Revelation 2:13, " I know where you live--where Satan has his throne." I realized the severity of what it meant.

I never noticed this feeling before because I've never been completely free from this world, with the powers that rule the air. In other words, I have never been only in the presence and Glory of God before. The darkness that fills the air here was now very evident and the fact that satan has his throne on this earth. I could feel his oppression everywhere. It seems natural to us like pollution in the air. Until we are completely removed and then brought back you don't notice it. You learn to live with it because you don't know any different. 

For the first time in my life I could see the revelation that Jesus spoke of, "Only the Father is good" (Luke 18:19).

It's Getting Ready to Rain

Two days later, the Lord in an audible voice said, "Do you want to know what the clouds are for?"

"Yes, Lord?"

"It's getting ready to rain."

"Rain? What do you mean? It rains in heaven?"

"You don't understand, do you remember what was in the clouds?"

"Yes, Lord. There was light in the clouds."

"You still don't understand. Do you remember what it felt like up there?"

"YES LORD! It was so GOOD! Your Love, Your Glory..."

"That is what is getting ready to rain on the Earth."

The Clouds are Filled With His Glory!

You had to have been there to know what is coming to the Earth. I can try to describe to you the incredible power of His Glory that is in the clouds but the knowledge you get from reading is not as valuable as the knowledge of encountering Him yourself. 

The Lord answered my prayer about Who He is. There are two ways of obtaining knowledge. You can become familiar with something or someone through education or through experience. I stood face to face with the Father and now I see Him more clearly through the knowledge of experiencing Him.

The Vision of Angels

This is the second of three visions of what the Lord shared about the coming rain.  

- 

I was driving down the road one day and the Lord asked me, "Do you love me?"

“Yes,” I answered.

He then said, “Pull into this parking lot.” It was a big Target parking lot, shared with many stores. He asked again, “Do you love me?” 

I answered, “Yes, Lord.” 

“Park in the middle of the parking lot.” I did so. He asked again, “Do you love me?” 

I answered, “Yes, Lord.” 

He then told me, “Get on the back of your truck.” I got on the back of my truck and turned around in front of the cab. At the time, I thought He was going to ask me to preach to the people in the parking lot. He asked me, “What do you see?” 

I answered, “I only see a few people. If you want me to preach, wouldn’t it be better if there were a lot more people?”

Instantly, the scenery changed into an open-eyed vision and I saw more people walking around the parking lot. I also saw small dragons, about the size of a medium to large size dog on each person. There were about three to four of them per person. Two were flying around them and two were clinging onto them. The dragons were agitating the person that they were assigned to and they were also agitating other dragons that were assigned to other people near by. They did this so that everyone would feel the evil that the dragons were emanating. The people didn’t see the dragons agitating other dragons, although they were responding as if the people around them were causing all the agitation. They were responding aggressively toward one another; full of emotion. The people were being evil to each other and it was obvious to me that this is why the dragons were working this way.                   

Then, my eyes looked up in the sky, about where a helicopter would fly, and I saw six big dragons about the size of a big city bus. I could see they were huge and very powerful. 

Then, my eyes looked even higher, about where a prop plane would fly, and I saw three very big dragons and they were more powerful than the others. These dragons are the principalities and powers of the air.

Then, the Lord commanded me, “Call them.”  

I replied, “Call who, Lord?” 

Again He commanded, “Call them” 

I replied again, “Lord, call who?” 

He didn’t hesitate, and again commanded, “Call them!”

In the vision, it was daytime and the sun was in the sky. As the Lord was telling me to “call them”, I was looking around and didn’t see anyone to call. After the Lord commanded me the last time, I noticed there was a brighter light than the sun on the horizon. It was like the rising of the sun, although sunrise had already passed. As I was looking, I could feel the glory of the Lord coming from the brighter light. I immediately knew that it was the angels of the Lord that He was commanding me to call. 

Full of excitement I cried out, “Come on! Come on!”. As I did, the angels bringing the light and glory of the Lord, began to rise in the sky as the sun does. The very big dragons could feel the glory and they looked to see where it was coming from. When they saw the angels of the Lord coming, they fled. The big dragons looked up and saw that their covering was gone and turned and saw the angels coming and they fled also. The dragons flying around the people and the dragons clinging to the people could feel a difference in the air. The evil was no longer raining down on the Earth. They looked and saw the big and very big dragons were gone, then they turned and saw the angels coming and they fled from the angels. The dragons were left and the angels took over the sky. 

There was a transition from an evil, oppressive atmosphere to the angels of the Lord raining the glory of the Lord down on the people. The people felt the glory, the love, the peace and the joy of the Lord. The people who once were very agitated and harsh with one another while the dragons were occupying the air, became apologetic to one another and began to ask for forgivenes. They were saying things like, “I don’t know why I was acting that way. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” They were set free, and could no longer feel the heavy oppression of the dragons. The oppression was replaced with God’s raining glory that was carried by the angels!

Later, while I was sharing the vision with someone, the Lord asked me, “What were the dragons in the sky doing?” 

I thought for a second and answered the Lord, “I don’t know.” These big dragons and very big dragons were not visibly doing anything. I went back to sharing the vision, and as I spoke I prophesied, “The big dragons in the sky were raining evil oppression down on the people.” I was surprised at what I had said because I did not know this before. It was very important to know that the dragons were raining evil oppresion down on people because it tied together this Vision of Dragons with The Vision of the Tsunami, The Trip to Heaven and God’s declaration that “It’s getting ready to rain”.

It is all prophetic to what is getting ready to happen on the Earth. As a good friend once told me, “It’s getting ready to rain.”, only this time, it will be the Lord’s rain! 

“Our battle is not against flesh and blood but with powers and principatities of the air”.

Ephesians 6:12

“Now is the time for Judgement on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.”      

 John 12:31

“I looked, and there before me was a white horse! It’s rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqeror bent on conquest.”

Revelation 6:2

This is a vision of the first seal being broken (Revelation 6:1-2), the former and the latter rains (Joel 2:23) and the beginning of the final harvest (Revelation 14:15-16;18). In the final harvest people will be seeking out Christians and running up to them crying out,  “Tell us how to have eternal life! Help us! Please! We want to be with this beautiful, loving God!” 

“Before you can get your net in the water, the fish will be jumping in the boat.”

Remember that the judgement is for the spirit of this world and his system, not for the people (Matthew 25:41c). For God so loved the people on the earth that he sent his only begotten son to buy back what the serpent had stolen from them (John 3:16; Epehsians 2:11-16; Genesis 3) . Let us not forget the Father’s decleration in the garden to the serpent, “because you have done this... I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head...” (Genesis 3:14-15).

The Vision of the Tsunami

This is the first of three visions of what the Lord shared about the coming rain.  

- 

In the year of 2005:

I was sweeping leaves off the driveway at my workplace, whem all the sudden, this vision came to me like a movie playing before my eyes. I saw a tsunami hit the East coast and cross the entire country from east to west. The United States of America was completely covered in three feet of water. I noticed this wave was not bringing destruction and the water carried no debris. It was pure, clean water that moved calm and slowly, yet with unstoppable power. Everywhere it went, the water maintained its height. As I saw it coming in contact with people, the people and the atmosphere would change from a former oppression to the glory of God. The people and the air were now filled with peace, joy and love.

In an instant, the scene changed and I was in a classroom where the tsunami had not yet entered. I felt the heaviness of oppression in the room and on the children. Soon after I observed the room, the water came in and changed  the atmosphere into the Glory of God instantly. 

Afterwards, I appeared in a neighborhood where I saw more people and felt the heaviness of oppression that filled the air. Some were frustrated and others were mundanely going through life, yet they were all struggling day-to-day existence. The three feet of water came and the air changed into an easy and light mood. The people were being filled with the glory of God that was carried in by the water.

Then, suddenly I was looking over a city and I could see the wave of the tsunami heading straight for it. Before the tsunami arrived I felt the oppressive atmosphere and saw the attitudes of the people in the city. They were agitated and heavy, however the people did not behave unusually different from everyday, ordinary people. They were simply unaware of the subjection they were currently under and ignorant of the coming glory. All the sudden, as if I were standing right next to the people in the city, I saw the water coming towards us. The closer the water came, the stronger I could feel the glory of God. Then, suddenly, I came out of the vision and realized that I was back on the driveway where I had been sweeping.

In this vision, I saw the results of the oppression on the people’s faces and I felt what they were feeling. It is the same oppression that fills the air every day that we have become desensitized and used to. It’s all we’ve ever known. 

I was also given the blessing to experience the Glory of God that is going to replace that oppression. I have been in a lot of meetings and conferences and I have had many experiences in the glory and have never felt anything so pure and holy as the glory that this coming tsunami is going to bring¹ .

                         

"For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.”                                                                       

Habakkuk 2:14 

"'And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions...'"

Joel 2:28

"...for as the waters fill the sea, so the earth will be filled with people who know the LORD.”

Isaiah 11:9b

"..., there it was--water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.”
