Why does God give visions? Why has God given me visions? When God gives a vision, who is the vision for? I will answer these three questions in context with what I have understood to be true. I will share four visions with you. I will interpret their meaning with the understanding God first gave me. I will offer further insights based on journeying with the visions.
The visions came to me by the grace of God when my Spiritual life was searching for answers and direction. I'd become a Christian in a coffee shop in London. My 'born again' conversion included an incredible experience of receiving the Holy Spirit. Due to lack of discipleship I spent my first few Christian years in the
wilderness of the world and the flesh. The Devil played his part too. The lack of discipleship and my choices took their toll on a sincere heart that failed often. I knew I needed God more in my life but I did not know how to make that a day by day reality. By God's grace I discovered my weakness was an opportunity for God's strength. God does not so much look for me to be strong and able, but rather that I seek his strength and ability. I can't base the receiving of the visions on how Spiritual I was at the time I received them. I can only affirm that God reached out to me when I least expected it.
The visions have help me gain and maintain a Godly focus in a church and world full of distractions. The 4 Visions highlight important scriptural principles for keeping a Christian's spiritual life on track with God.
Vision One deals with distractions for the Christian both within the church and in the world. It gives guidance for what type of church a Christian should attend. It's in encouragement to Christian fellowship and drawing closer to Jesus.
Vision Two is a vision of the Cross. Its message reveals the deep significance of the Cross of Christ for every individual Christian. It highlights the Father God's heart for humanity. It reminds us why God will never forsake us.
Vision Three reveals what happens to a Christian immediately after they die. It's a message for those whose fear of death is inhibiting their Christian walk. The first meeting with Jesus is wonderful and brings an unexpected response.
Vision Four brings us to a time of accountability for all people, including the Devil. It's an encouragement to endure in all circumstances. It reveals the importance of every Christians life journey and it's role in God's ultimate plan.
The 4 Visions have given me understanding, focus, comfort. and hope. Most importantly, they have drawn me closer to experience the fellowship and love of my heavenly Father. They can do the same for my readers,
