The Vision

The Vision

Sleep was difficult last night. The moon, which had been obscured for weeks behind layers of storm clouds, was finally released. The soft light poured into the room where I slept. We have multitudes of windows here at Adytum that collect all the energy of the cosmic forces- the sun, the moon, the stars…we are right under the Milky Way. We inhabit the heavenlies. We watch plants thrive in this environment. Like plants, so do we thrive. But sometimes all the energy from the cosmos makes sleep a difficult endeavor.
I had a vision just a few hours after midnight. I don’t know if I was sleeping or in a waking state. I saw that those of us who bear the Christ’s name walked in glory. Normally that sentence wouldn’t evoke much but sentiment, however, in this vision as I looked at my arm it shone. “Glory” dripped down off of me onto the surrounding grass, which registered my presence and resulting glory dripping onto it by rising up, covered in light, thriving, reaching higher and every blade shining in extreme beauty and simplicity. I realized that my clothing contained elements of my glory too. I had removed my jacket, and it retained a glow. My consciousness began to explode with Reality; we are children of the Most High God and bear His image. We are covered in the reflected light of His glory. I glanced beyond my immediate surroundings and knew I was allowed a glimpse into heaven, where the same glory was evident in all I saw. Everything was illuminated with this glorious Light and I began to be very excited about entering. I understood instantly the viewpoints of those like Apostle John who had witnessed this Realm of Light also in vision that earth no longer held him in any way. The feeling of excitement grew....
Suddenly, upon this realization, I was terrified to hear a satanic hissing sound. It was loud and I literally jumped from my dream or visioning state. It was over. But the devil himself cannot steal what was entrusted to me. I have seen the reality of those that call themselves by His name and are followers of The Way. As Peter and Paul of old whose handkerchiefs healed without the men being present, we are surrounded in God’s glory – all we touch, pass….
We would do well to operate from Reality, seeing ourselves in our true Light- no pun intended, which is Christ’s own glory. Now. Paul understood about seeing through a veil darkly now, then face to face. We are given small glimpses of this glory witnessing the light of the Lord shining from the eyes of a believer. I have seen this in some elderly who seem to be transitioning into pure spirit living in an aura of radiance while their body fades- their light is predominant.
One day, our eyes will be opened and we will understand our Reality as children of the King, made in His image, representatives of Him in all His glory- not any of our own. His. Paul said very eloquently in his letter to the Ephesians, “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.”
Revelation 21 is our Reality as we ARE the Holy City prepared as a bride “adorned for her husband”. Many on earth today are looking at literal Jerusalem, but we understand that Revelation is figurative in its approach. Our reality is found in verse 11, “having the glory of God: and her light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal…”
We walk in the Light of His reflected glory as His Holy City, the Bride of Christ. This is what was shown to me in vision. Now is the time to remember who we are.
