Q. I know vision is one of the four keys to hearing God's voice, but I just see blackness. What should I do?

A. There are actually 2 people in 100 who can't see anything on the screen inside their minds. When they try to imagine, they get nothing. It is now being suggested that this is a medical illness affecting 2.5% of the population which needs treatment by a doctor, if it is treatable at all.

I have polled congregations for years and found 2 in 100 say they can't see anything at all on the screen inside their minds. So, yes, my experience correlates with what the health profession is now claiming.

I heard a sermon on it. I watched a video about it. I memorized a verse about it. Why, I even memorized the correct answer and repeated it back on a test. So for sure I know it now, right?

Maybe not. I can memorize 1 Peter 2:17 which says to "honor all people", yet still be judging and scorning most I come in contact with. Would you say I've really learned that Scripture?

Question I received in an email from one of our readers: My young daughter went home to be with Jesus three months ago. When receiving counseling prayer about this, God showed me a vision of her in heaven with Jesus. They were playing and laughing together and she told me she was happy and not sick anymore. This encounter has brought my husband and me tremendous peace and comfort, but someone told me that it wasn’t “safe”. I’m just wondering… is it okay? 

Answer: During inner healing prayer times, we have been blessed to see Jesus give people glimpses of their loved ones in heaven and allow them to interact with them. This has provided powerful healing to the wounds in their hearts and changed their lives. The transformation is instantaneous and you can see their countenance change right before your eyes.

You are right that some folks may caution about this, because they may think it is "calling up the dead."  It isn't. There is a distinction. Let us share several examples of godly heavenly encounters and then we will follow these stories with a chart showing the distinctions between conversing with the dead and Jesus-initiated heavenly encounters. 

Did you know that you can receive creative architectural designs through divine revelation? King David did. Check it out:

"Then David gave to his son Solomon the plan of the porch of the temple, its buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms and the room for the mercy seat; and the plan of all that he had in mind, for the courts of the house of the LORD, and for all the surrounding rooms, for the storehouses of the house of God and for the storehouses of the dedicated things." (1 Chronicles 28:11-12)

We received a letter from one of our students who is an inmate at a state correctional center.  The Lord has given him a vision to reach every inmate in his facility with the love of Christ during the month of July. Please join us in standing with him in prayer and intercession for a mighty harvest.  Here is his letter...

Years ago, my favorite Bible teacher, Derek Prince, showed us this revelation from Scripture: Have you never read, "Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants you have perfected praise"(Matt. 21:16)? Jesus was quoting Psalm 8:2, which says: "Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger." So perfected praise is the ordained strength which silences the enemy! Do you need the enemy silenced in your life? If so, enjoy the following journaling from Kirsten Himmelberg.

This creed was formed perhaps 200 - 300 AD. Even then the Church did not have a good grasp of the role of the Holy Spirit, and they were unable to say anything about the Holy Spirit, other than He exists. Amazing!
