Since we are more spirit than physical (yes, that is true!), it is so wonderful to use our imagination, asking and allowing God to visit us with visions, dreams, or in many other Supernatural ways.
Recently I made a trip to Colorado. I was blessed to spend time just talking and enjoying our Lord and the presence of God became very real.
I had a wonderful vision that answered a prayer for me that I ask of God some time ago. When praying for a situation, person or healing I always forgive any sins first, (John 20:23) then pray however the Holy Spirit leads me. I try not to think, but just to let the Holy Spirit guide me. The Holy Spirit is so good at what He does.
I questioned the Holy Spirit, wondering if this was truly His guidance, (in forgiving sins first) and the vision I received answered that question. I pray it will bless you also. I am so grateful to God for His loving direction and faithfulness!
As I sat in my friend's living room taking in the awesomely beautiful mountains of Estes Park, Colorado, I was aware in my spirit of how Jesus carried the cross and drug himself up the hill to his crucifixion. The Holy Spirit helped me to understand (in the spirit of my mind, Eph 4:23) how we drag and pull our pains, needs, sickness up the hill to the cross as well. That is why it seems so difficult at times, as we struggle with the mountains in front of us. That as Jesus exchanged our sin at the cross for the Glory of God to our salvation, we too can put our needs at the cross, trusting it to be a portal to heaven, to be blessed for the Glory of God.
Suddenly I saw the outline of a beautiful iridescent cross at the top of the mountain. It was surrounded by light of colors I had never seen before. In fact the lights made the shape of the cross as it had no other substance. It was so beautiful I was in awe and began to understand the cross is a point or portal of faith into heaven where forgiveness and repentance are exchanged for all the loving attributes of God (Gal 5:22). Do we have to 'see' this to do that….no, but how wonderful it is to open the eyes of our heart to the supernatural as a position of faith.
I ask the Lord how I might describe what I saw to others so they might see it in their imagination and heart. His answer was to take all the colors of a rainbow and inject lightening and there it would be. As I have shared many have been able to see it as well….more importantly that even though Christ Jesus is risen (no longer on the cross) the cross still remains as a place in the supernatural of exchanging our sins and the sins of others in forgiveness, for Christ Jesus resurrected Glory. (John 10:10)
This was personal to me, but available to everyone….a gift, God can use to show us many things….His Loving Mercy,
Compassion and Grace! May it be yours today, through Jesus!
Pressing in and pressing on….
