VISIONS

VISIONS
" But he (Stephen) being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him..."
Acts 7:55-58
The Jews considered it heresy to say, " I see the heavens opened and the son of man standing at the right hand of God" for that reason they stoned Stephen to death. I read years ago a book titled I BELIEVE IN VISIONS by Kenneth E Hagin and he said JESUS appeared to him more than 12 times in 57 years of ministry and some meetings with the LORD would last more than an hour . Some folks like the Jews are quick to discredit such glorious manifestations and for that reason they never see any visions yet the Bible says, "Young men shall see visions" Acts 2:17
The Kingdom of God shouldn't be a mystery to the Christian. There is more to the Christian life than just declaring a message from a book.Heaven is real as much as there is a hell. One of my very first visions back then in 2007 was of hell. Angels are real jus as much as demons are real. The power of God is real power and can be demonstrated. Many people have Christianity as a religion therefore it stays theoretic and there is no proof of the claims which they say they have believed. I am not knocking down faith,i am simply emphasizing the need to move from just believing into a knowledge with relationship. Paul mentioned several encounters he had with Jesus and with Angels, Luke reports the same in the book of Acts. They that are with us are more than they that are with our adversaries. This is a reality which you can see with the eyes of the spirit.
Learn to see things which ordinary man can not see. It starts by accepting things ordinary man can't accept, for example ordinary man think its madness to speak in tongues. The Bible already says, "The natural man can not understand the things of the spirit for they are foolishness to him,neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned" 1 Cor 2:14 Don't criticize what you don't understand ,however judge all visions and revelations according to the word. Desire to have these glorious manifestations,if you haven't by now it doesn't mean God loves you less, it may jus mean you haven't positioned yourself for such. One thing is certain, ITS GOD'S WILL FOR ALL OF US TO WALK IN THE MIRACULOUS.
