Timely reminder: A Spiritual Showdown, “Let My people go!” – Veronika West

[Finished drafting @16:59, publishing @ 17:00 – queue-time!]  Veronika has today republished the word featured below and which I’d incorporated into the original of this post in view of the following relevant content: The Lord’s not putting Donald J Trump out to grass –  other than on the Tee (hee-hee!)  

‘When I saw yesterday the numbers of Nina and my birth years in TGP headlines and why they’d appeared, I laughed aloud…(especially as, whilst out with a friend, Nina had an awesome open vision in December ’20 of Donald and Melania Trump within a glory-light on a very high  balcony, like at the White House):

Last week (2022) some were sensing something about to happen soon, as well as in my blogs last week. Therefore, above headline is so well-timed to coincide with The Elijah List’s transcription of Steve Schulz’s interview with Veronika on 18th January.’

A SPIRITUAL SHOWDOWN – “LET MY PEOPLE GO!” 

Our sister in the Lord writes,

“On Saturday, January 15, I was driving home in the car when suddenly the Lord showed me Donald J. Trump and then spoke to me, saying“For he will be as slippery as an eel and the enemy shall not lay hold of him.”

Although the Telegraph is shown, journalists’ broad coverage tends to miss the finer details  and headlines jump into salacious conclusions on Donald Trump. Their headline is followed by background items from this blog’s Telegram :

Looks like the bags of ‘Made in China’ dolls Veronika West saw in her dream vision have been opened and are soon to get binned into ‘tertiary recycling’! 

“..But, from where I was standing in the dream, I was not able to see the Dolls very clearly, so I stepped a little closer, and as I got up to these huge big bags of strange looking Dolls, I was shocked to see that they were in fact Dolls that looked like Joe Biden!…” – https://richards-watch.org/2021/05/20/strange-dream-of-two-dolls-as-us-presidents-veronika-west/

Veronika West’s dream of two porcelain dolls now comes to pass: 2 of 2 – ‘Hand-made for America’ (PPU 88)

Cont’d from Part 1 (Prophecy Progress Update #86):

Extract 2

‘… suddenly the dream shifted and I found myself standing in what looked like a small Repair Shop, and I could smell a strong fragrance of Linseed Oil in the air, and I could hear the sound of tinkering in the background.

As I looked up I saw a sign that read, ”Restoration and Repair; The Potter’s Emporium” and as I looked at that sign, I heard these words, ”Watch! For the Oil of My Glory will flow forth upon this land to bring Divine Restoration and Supernatural Repair to that which has been stolen and broken!”

As I heard those Words, suddenly I saw what look like an old vintage Porcelain Doll sitting on a work bench, and as I drew closer in the dream, I saw that it was an old Vintage Porcelain Doll made in the image of President Donald J Trump.

…Now as this strange dream continued to unfold before me, suddenly I noticed what looked like a Maker’s Mark stamped on the underside of what was left of the right foot where the Doll’s shoe was also missing and it read, ”1946/ HAND-MADE MADE FOR AMERICA

As I read those words, what immediately jumped out at me in the dream was the word “FOR” and so I re-read the Maker’s Mark again and it read, ”1946/ HAND-MADE MADE FOR AMERICA”.

As I read those words again, I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch! For what is made by the hands of man will not stand, but what is made by The Hand of The Father will never fall or fail!”

Strange dream of TWO Presidents as dolls – Veronika West

Extract 1

‘…They were strange looking action-type figures of Joe Biden, dressed in black and white tuxedos…I reached out to touch one of the dolls, and before I could touch it, I saw a ticket on the back of the ‘JB Action Figure‘ that said, MADE IN CHINA,” and suddenly, as I read those words, I heard these words, ”What’s made in China is cheap, and will not last. But what’s hand-made for America will stand the test of time!”

(Yes… you can call me crazy… but that’s what I heard!) Now as I heard those words in the dream, suddenly I saw all the actions-figures of Joe Biden being thrown into what looked like a large black storage bin, and on the side of the big black bin was a sign which read “TERTIARY RECYCLING”.

Then I heard these words, ”Watch! For what the enemy created for evil. I will Turn, Transform and Reform for good and for the advancement of My Kingdom!”

Wartime opponent confirms exposure prophecy! (PPU 86)

In view of the war with Russia in which Britain and America are involved by one means or another, I’ve had very strong reservations about publishing this material. However, as an impartial observer, the historical facts present themselves and thus I’m committed to reporting how president Putin’s remarks echo my asking seven years ago:

Is the Lord exposing rotten politics? UK, USA – next EU??

That was May 2106 and events led me to realise five months later that passing thought had become a fulfilled prophecy. For newer readers, this led to my itemising many more news articles and posting a fixed reference page on this blog Exposure of Corruption, which got followed by over 400 tagged postings on Exposures.

PROPHECY PROGRESS UPDATE (PPU)

Earlier this month I found this, which may be heard on Richard’s Watch Prophecy Validations on Telegram (preview screen available for those not on Telegram):

During this interview Putin responds by saying in Russian, and translated as:

“As for the prosecution of Trump, for us, what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good. (Why?) Because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy.

“Everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons.

“That’s what it is. And this is being done in front of the US public and the whole world. They simply exposed their internal problems.” (Underscoring added)

SAYS IT ALL – what more could I write?

Prophets and God – Chris G Bennett

“SO THIS IS WHY I had to stop unscheduled chore and login” (to Facebook about 10:10 I thus commented on this just-published post). “Bless and thank You Lord”:

PROPHETS  AND GOD

The watchmen are on the walls. Eagles are soaring overhead.

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?” (Amos 3:7-8)

I just got this overwhelming sense of God’s presence and, as I wondered about it, He showed me Nehemiah and his men on the walls – weapons in one hand, tools in the other, and still others just standing and scanning the horizon. Then I saw the eagles!

“Now, who will you trust? Your politicians, or My prophets?” “But Lord, your prophets are men, like me, fallible!” “That’s why I say in My Word that all prophecy is subject to the prophets and needs to be confirmed by them, independently.”

With that, He took me high into the heavens, where I could see the whole world spread out before me as on a giant map. An angel stood beside me, “Look there in England!” he said – and England came right up close as we zoomed in on a prayer meeting somewhere. I could hear the prayers being offered in that place! “Now look over there in Argentina!”, he continued. Once again I seemed to zoom in on another prayer meeting, this time in Argentina. Once again, I could hear the prayers being sent up but I could also understand them too! “This is what the Lord means by ‘soaring like an eagle’. This is what He means when he says He will reveal these things to His prophets.”

Then I was before a door! The angel spoke again. “This is where you go when the Lord speaks to you about His secrets, His plans. This is your ‘inner room’, your secret place, where you meet with God!

I sensed a great peace in that place and recognised what the angel was talking about as truth.

“Go tell your brothers and sisters that all is well, that the Lord’s prophets are on the walls and are soaring like eagles – ever watching and listening, for the Lord never stops speaking to His prophets. When two or three agree on a prophecy, it will come to pass – but not necessarily immediately. The Lord is always in control!”

The angel disappeared and I returned to my chair, at home in Rotherham, England. All seemed well, I was at peace.

CGB September a while back

September ’23 update

The season ahead of us all looks to be a rocky road – many challenges, many pot-holes to fall down. Like Nehemiah before us, we need to stay wide awake, alert to every danger and every approaching enemy. We are preparing, with the Lord, for the enemy to throw everything he has at us – but we hold before us Philippians 4:13, “And the Lord my God shall supply ALL your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus!”

Get into your ‘secret place’ often. Listen to whatever the Lord is revealing to you. Then encourage your brothers and sisters in Christ. Renewal and revival are on our doorstep. When the door opens – step through with confidence and with great joy, for that joy is, and will continue to be, our strength!

Hallelujah \o/

Intriguing confirmation of End-times discussion – Prophets & Patriots #77

HIGHLY recommended for viewing and careful listening as soon as possible – the ‘God-incidental’ timing of it coming to my attention is a strong indicator of its great import (as told below). Take particular note of Dr Jan’s account of her connection with President Trump and knowledge of his plans and activities relating to Devolution ‘theory’, as well as reference to his faith in “THE Boss”:. She is currently based in England.

Late afternoon and early evening yesterday whilst installing Windows 11 I was able to catch up on a long-running discussion thread on a friend’s Facebook about re-introducing masks. My early off-the-cuff remark on “MaSk is 1 letter away from MaRk” and its relevance to Revelation 13 – as had dropped into mind upon being awoken in the middle of the night in mid-July 2020 – generated many detailed contributions! (Click here and here for my posts positing they’re part of satanic strategy.)

Readers may recall my briefings of last February on The Book of Revelation (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) which cited the writings of Revd David Pawson among others

Well, I can now add a ninth variation upon the main five theological interpretations. An ardent ‘Preterist/symbolic’ contributor to the Facebook thread insists that because WE are to be like Jesus, HE Himself is NOT going to return in person! – despite His own several references and Acts 1:1 ‘men in white’ saying,

“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

This person’s points have some merit but the way scripture is misquoted I’m reminded of gnostic, heretical themes I’d accepted as a New Ager. Hence, my deep reservations and stating last night that their perspective is misleading.

Another accused me of being a ‘conspiracy theorist’ and asked if I voted for Trump! In citing my 15 years of monitoring US presidents I alluded to his serving the Lord but this person took grave exception, saying God is against him!

GOD-INCIDENCE

Immediately after closing my responses I got a message from Chris Bennett with a link to the previous evening’s Elijah Streams broadcast, of which Dr Jan Halper-Hayes is a regular viewer. Chris says  “Well worth a watch. What revelation!”

MOREOVER from 1hr 03mins she and Steve discuss the difficulty many of fixed opinion have in assessing new information. So I continue to weigh an unusual approach to End-times; but keep recalling Jesus’ first remark to his disciples’ question of “When”,

And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’[d]Therefore do not[e]go after them.  (Luke 21:8 NKJV)

So once again I’ve been getting flak whilst “over the target”, but the Lord has it in hand to provide encouragement and confirmation of my pro-Trump stance… AND I even had time to watch the video right away!!

15 years-old ‘lost’ Kim Clement prophecy of two-term, anointed “No more war!” President

I hope and pray you may be able to watch this brief video as YouTube is blocking it intermittently from this pc (maybe as it’s still Win7 – am today prepping Win11 pc):

‘8 Nov 2022 #houseofdestiny #kimclement #trump  Donnè has found a lost prophecy that her father, Kim Clement, gave in 2007 about President Trump having two terms.’

Is anybody excited about this?! That same man, that same man, says the Spirit of God, shall put his feet onto this platform, and God says, they will say how did this take place? Laws shall change. Young men and young women shall have access into the kingdom, and with authority into politics, and with authority into the industries that now have beencontrolled by Darkness because of this man that shall rule for another two terms.
For two terms, God said. Do not fear for the Lord says there will be no unnecessary, unnecessary stuff. But there will be things that men shall question. Fear not for you shall sit in that seat, and suddenly My Spirit shall come upon him and baptize him with a fire and with anointing, says the Spirit of the Lord.”

Come on! Come on! No more war! No no more War! No more war! No more war!! No more war!![Applause] [Music]

[Applause]
Time for war has gone
Time War has gone
Peace shall reign the streets, as they have,
not like before [Music] time for was has gone
Time for peace has come, and I will walk in your streets again,
[Music] and the house they call White
shall receive a man [Music]who stood in your night
and the house that you call White, shall receive a man, a knight.
(Music)
Fought for you, in your night
[Music]
[Music]

Invisible chains fall off – freed at last from satan!

Months after that night of destiny in 1989 I trashed my occult and New Age books, yet I kept some items that were very significant to membership in those occult brotherhoods. But very soon, troubles brewed up within my relationships. And they got worse, and worse. So I asked for prayer help and gathered all those remaining things, such as ritualistic items and pictures. Right at the peak of my trouble I heard an almost audible voice instruct me to...Burn what you’ve collected – NOW!”

Never, ever, would I have believed what was to happen next:

Out in the backyard I piled those membership items onto an area of gravel and, putting a match to them, I sincerely repented.

Fanning the flames, I apologised deeply to God for all my past rebellious, sinful activity and specifically renounced satan and all evil connected with those occult associations.

As I asked God to forgive me, heavy invisible shackles suddenly dropped off my wrists!

I felt, and was, free, completely free – exactly as is jubilantly sung in Charles Wesley’s great hymn And Can It Be? 

WOW, from despair to jubilation within a split second!  What utter freedom!  Praise Him!

That hymn’s lyrics present the simple yet sublime salvation found in our Father’s good news about Jesus.

How aptly the third verse describes my personal situation and what had just happened – my wonderful liberation from invisible bondage to satan.:

1. And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God shouldst die for me?

2. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race!

‘Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me.

3. Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray:
I woke the dungeon flamed with light!

My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

4. No condemnation now I dread:
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,

Bold I approach th’ eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

If you’re unfamiliar with Charles Wesley brother of the renowned evangelical founder of Methodism, John Wesley, read here about his equally famous influence as author of many well-known hymns; eg. Love Divine, all love’s excelling, Hark the herald angels…

Listen to one of the greatest hymns as broadcast some years ago in Songs of Praise,   thanks to Fabio Ramsay.:

I will rejoice in the Lord, I will exult in the victorious God of my salvation! (Hab 3:1)

To read my testimony in full go to Jesus Freed Me!  There, you’ll find an overview of my background, two life-changing divine appointments and how the Lord began to instruct me…all to HIS glory. May you be mightily blessed upon following the links therein…

I remain, your brother in Christ

Richard

Awoken by the Holy Spirit, “URGENT IS THIS DAY!”

On 7.9.23 ‘CA’ emailed me about his calling as an intercessor, extracts from which read as follows:

“Dear Brother, greetings from across the pond…(I want to) encourage your dear wife, especially when the message she received from the Lord is so intense…

URGENT ALERT: Holy Spirit instructs, “Stand firm in the Lord” in coming days!

This could be a long message and must not, so for brevity’s sake I write to confirm Nina’s prophetic word/warning. I was handed an intercessory assignment from the Holy Spirit over a year ago, specifically for your….”

Today, on catching-up I find this from Pennsylvania…

EARLY THIS MORNING (email at 09.27 British Summer Time)

‘Dear Richard,

I have just been awakened from sleep..The urgency conveyed by Holy Spirit to mine is unlike anything I’ve experienced before and I felt instructed to contact you and tell you about it, almost as it is being downloaded to me….

“Urgent! Urgent is this day! Today! This very day is the Day of Destiny for many nations as their rise and fall are determined in back rooms of gross darkness by utter degenerates devoid of compassion and totally in opposition to My Son!

Fall! Fall before Me on behalf of the innocents, the babes, even the babbling fools who are duped yet cling to some straw of hope, for it may yet save them.

Today! Today is that Day spoken of in the Courts of Heaven, when evil will seem to get the upper hand. But I have set for My enemies a trap that will disgrace them:

  • Among themselves
  • Before their demon carriers
  • (Before) the Nations
  • (Before) the Angel armies
  • (Before) My SON into Whose pierced hands I have put all things.

I have told you…Today! Do not be caught by surprise. Look up ! Look to Me! Tune your ear to My Songs of War and Victory…and compassionate intercession.”

My own spirit has now gone from urgency to peaceful rest, brother. I’ve been obedient. I believe there is a turning point today and we have been warned. I pray a confirmation will be given. If not, i am content to be be foolish…and I know you know the drill as we say over here. Praying for your counsel or thoughts and with blessings to Nina and all your house, Richard,

From Pittsburgh, PA.’

SO PLEASE WEIGH & PRAY!

Bible’s Author shows me ex-New Agers’ testimonies

The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. [St Paul’s letter to the Colossians 1:13-14, Amplified Bible.]

To continue my testimony upon my 34th spiritual birthday:

As well as checking out Christians’ claims of hearing God direct and getting astounding personal evidence for that, I wanted to know lots more not only about Him, but also and especially to follow-up on the personally revelatory scriptures about false teachers.

In my great wariness of religious folk I’d assumed none would be able to comprehend my story because they’d be ignorant about those things. Doubtless, none would have been through my kind of bad, meditative ‘trips’ – or so I thought!

But direct help was again at hand from the Bible’s Author…Yet first, there’s one little-suspected aspect of His character that amazingly revealed a very personal thought and thus confirmed He knows all about me. Here’s what had happened many years earlier.: Continue reading

The Bible’s Author opens it to answer my ‘newbie’ questions

Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus,For I always pray to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him by having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones), and [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places], far above all rule and authority and power dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come…. [Eph1:17-21, Amplified Bible. We decree that the blindness be removed from the eyes of all the peoples of this land so they may see Jesus Christ is Lord.]

IN CELEBRATING MY SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY I THANK GOD FOR MY EARTHLY AND ETERNAL LIVES

Lord, help me love everyone,even wrongdoers, with Your awesome, gracious undying love

Life-changing as my ‘rescue’ was in that dream-visitation on 14th September 1989, I did not want to rush off to church. The event’s effect and ramifications upon my philosophy of life needed careful consideration. For example, I needed to check out widespread claims of the Bible having been compiled and modified by Church councils in the 4th Century after Christ, as well as learn about its history from authoritative sources. [Prof F.F. Bruce’s The Books and The Parchments (1991) was very helpful, especially about the ‘Muratorian Fragment’. Drawn up in late 2nd Century in the church at Rome, it lists practically all the canonical New Testament literature.]

So not only did I need to assess those personal implications, but also as possibly a new believer in Jesus Christ I wanted to find well-informed believers who take Him seriously. I soon did so, but then needed to put their claims of hearing direct from God to the test. After all, they believe we have a relationship with Him and so we have but to ask…

Triple validation of Jesus’ night-time visitation and my rescue

‘…but mercy (full of glad confidence) exults victoriously over judgement’ – James 2:13 (The Amplified Bible)

Quite some time was needed to gain a full understanding of that awesome visitation thirty-four years ago and being confronted by the absolute holiness of the Lord Jesus Christ. No wonder I was intensely convicted and suddenly knew personal judgement definitely IS TRUE!   As mentioned, I fully expected to take my last breath there and then and be dropped down into Hell.

It was a few years until I heard that “mercy triumphs over judgement” – yes indeed it does and thank you for being so gracious to me, my Lord. May it be similarly so for the multitudes who don’t yet know You.

That life-changing encounter used two personally intimate aspects of my life, unknown to any living soul, to grab my attention and thereby validate the experience as being real, not imaginaryEven more amazingly, both validations are directly related to the 1st and 2nd Advents!  Thus, they could not but enhance my interest in End-Times that had begun only a few years earlier when reading The Invisible Hand (as described herein). Yet it took me 30 years for it to dawn upon me that when that happened I’d been given the first two pieces of an ‘invisible jigsaw’!!!

The First Advent was when Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem of Judea about two thousand years ago. Hence, the four weeks leading into Christmas are designated within the church calendar as Advent, and which start the church year. The Second Advent is coming soon and is expected to begin in the city of Jerusalem.

FIRST VALIDATION

I inwardly ‘knew’ that heavenly visitor was indeed Jesus Christ himself, and that His impressive swift descent was a foretaste of His promised return in all His glory.

The event reminded me of my favourite picture in mother’s Missal, or service book of the Roman Mass.  This gave the scriptures for Sunday services throughout the year together with a picture symbolising the theme for each service.  As a boy very keen on astronomy I’d been fascinated by the picture for the First Sunday in Advent. It depicted Jesus standing on the clouds over a burning earth in the midst of sun, moon and falling stars, telling of events before his Second Advent!

The validation referred to above came almost as unusually. On a healing retreat six years later, a minister told me God would show me something after lunch. Indeed He did for a lady whom I’d never met and was seated at my table confided after lunch that the Lord told her to show me something she greatly treasured.

It was a photo taken from an aircraft over a thunderstorm. When developed, the photo bore an image of Jesus Christ as though standing within the clouds. But the facial features were hazy; exactly like Jesus in my dream because I’d not seen His face!!  (I seem to recall hazy clouds at the foot of the image. This one shown is published by Bible Probe.)

My legs gave way upon seeing this photo as I couldn’t remain standing but had to drop down into a nearby chair! My companion, Yvonne, said I went so white she thought I was going to faint or fall. Continue reading

‘Coincidental’ knocking on my door, but which number?

As in two previous posts, thirty-four years ago I’d politely shut the door to further visits by a young church worker to discuss the Gospel. But a few hours later the Lord Jesus Christ in person crashed through the wall to get to me!

Unusually, yesterday wasn’t a full blogging day for I needed to finish outdoor renovation work. That last post had already been scheduled to appear, but just before it did I read the day’s verse:

Its closing command is timely regarding an on-going chat over eschatology, BUT then I noticed the verses’ reference echoes the home-address number of the location (212) of my life-changing dream!

No such thing as coincidence! This must be of the Lord – as though He’s knocking at my door!

Moreover, more was in store! Before starting the maintenance work I checked emails and found this sent Wednesday at 16:17hrs from Tim Shey in Idaho…(emphases mine):

‘Richard:  
You are always talking about the number 22 and how it is significant in your life.  In this interview with Johnny Enlow, he talks about Isaiah 22:22:  “And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open” (1:26:00 – 1:26:35):

 

So I dashed off this reply yesterday, Thursday at 09:22 (I assure you, timestamp not contrived):

‘LOL – ALSO Tim, whilst copying last night’s post (from older version) I was struck with the reason why there’s been SO MANY double 22’s turning up lately:

Therein, I refer to the young evangelist having the same birthday as me: 22 Sept.  I realised THAT’s the original double 22 in my life’s journey and thus becomes on-going confirmation and stressing a special significance of items!’

Sometime soon I hope to carve out time to watch that video.  Meantime, you may be interested to read the next post as it gives an earlier validation of  ‘212‘….Testimonial continues >

34 years ago I awoke from a life-saving, life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ!!

Upon awaking on 14th September 1989, I was overjoyed to find I’m still alive after having had such a very close call with death in the night!

The previous evening I’d firmly shut the door to hearing any more about God’s Good News! But the night-time had been spent at my childhood home of 212 E___ Rd, Stockport, Cheshire, to undergo a life-changing event. [PS. Number is emphasised in view of God-incidence today! – click to read all about it.]

In a most unusual dream I went back in time and space. A dream so lucid that even four decades later it remains vividly etched within me. Here’s what happened, as copied from original with comments in italics, pls bear with close-type as too much formatting code to revise.:

A HEAVENLY VISITOR

‘I am in my childhood home and standing in front of the very tall casement window in one corner of the lounge. I look up into the inky, dark night sky outside.
‘A small flotilla of large, wingless aircraft drifts slowly across from left to right at high altitude and I groan, “Oh…not that flying saucer nonsense. I must be dreaming!”
‘I’m sceptical about the existence of UFO’s, but now another ‘fleet’ of some sort appears from the right and heads towards the first.
(The dream now changes gear by going up a level from the usual mix of mental material to that of absolute lucidity…)
‘The ‘light goes on’! In my ‘knower’, I realise the first fleet is demonic and the second is masses of angels under the command of Jesus Christ. (I did not believe in them, and regarded Jesus as one of many world teachers. Here, I see no individuals but inwardly know the situation.)
‘I think I’m about to watch an amazing heavenly battle…but…OH NO! Somehow, I now know Jesus has espied me far down below and is coming down directly towards me!
‘All I see is a distant bright light very rapidly getting brighter and larger as it drops down to my location, just like an airliner approaching a runway to land at night.
‘Instantly, I realise my life has been one of sin that contrasts starkly against Jesus’ own holiness. Right away I realise what’s claimed about the Judgement is true – but mine is about to happen right now!
Beyond any doubt whatsoever I suddenly realise my involvement in the occult was most definitely wrong. Consequently, I deserve the undesirable abode!
‘Groaning “My number’s up!” I inwardly tremble in fearful knowledge I’m about to die at any moment. An invisible trapdoor I’m standing on will drop me straight into Hell.
‘Utmost mortal terror strikes! I dive under the drop-leaf table by the wall to the left of the window so I can hide from Jesus. But he knows I’m hiding there and swoops down straight through the wall on the other side of the corner window. He’s standing in the room and right beside the table!
‘Cowering below the table with my back turned towards him, I glance over my shoulder and see him from the knees down, his body and face out of sight above the table.
‘Most unexpectedly, somehow I have the courage to reach my hand out backwards to grab at the hem of Jesus’ robe…
‘As I tug, the event goes into yet another level of revelation regarding my childhood…Then I awake! Thoroughly alert, further sleep eludes me!’

The dream reminds me of an evocative small picture that strongly impressed me when a child – the return of Jesus Christ:

Later I understand that my terror had been ‘the fear of God’ brought by Holy Spirit’s convicting me of my personal wrongdoing and, thus, preparing me to receive God’s grace – a totally undeserved favour!

Also, what happened after reaching for Jesus, and which I’ve yet to tell, proves He’s so closely acquainted with my intimate thoughts when a boy. The dream’s conclusion shows He’s going to topple those childish concepts and replace them with an absolutely sure knowledge of His true identity.

“The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love” (Psalm 111).

Mercifully, He plucked me from the domain of darkness to bring me into His own Kingdom and receive its blessings. I deserved none of that. Truly, Amazing Grace – how awesome and wonderful..!

As a result of the most remarkable dream I’d ever had, I was left with no choice but to seriously reconsider all my New Age and occult notions. Meditational and mystical exercises had resulted in my having some unusual, ‘psychic’ dreams, but none like this one.

The only one remotely similar was that of being in an ‘altered’ state of consciousness known as ‘nirvana’, or bliss, but where I’d been taken behind its alluring golden light. Sheer ecstasy turned to abject terror as the light I was in got swept aside like a curtain to reveal a hideous, devouring beast of utter blackness approaching me – far, far worse than any nightmare!

I wasn’t into drugs but was ignorant of the scripture ‘satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light‘ (2 Cor 11:14). Upon reading that verse years later, I realised its truth had been dramatically demonstrated to me as a non-Christian!

But in this new dream my terrifying fear had been overcome by Jesus Christ Himself and His wonderful mercy and love. He ‘arrested’ me in my sin only to rescue me from falling into the pit of Hell.

In this stunning night the Truth I’d been searching for since a teenager turned up in Person – thank You Lord. And lots more Truth was to come as I began to open the door to His Good News!

Moreover, this amazing encounter was yet to be validated on three occasions!!!

So, if you don’t yet know Jesus Christ and have a personal relationship with Him, you may wish to know more and consider this vital matter at Do You Know Jesus?

34 years ago tonight I shut the door to the Good News, but in the night nearly died of fright!

‘Twas a fateful day written in my destiny – perhaps in heaven too?

On the evening of 13th September 1989 a young man, barely an adult, came to visit and chat – but I ended up discretely disagreeing!

I didn’t know a false gospel had lured me to the Devil’s Door around the time Peter was born 21 years earlier – thus half my age. However, I was to discover it wasn’t a normal door but a trapdoor about to be sprung – with me standing on it!!

In abject terror I groaned “My number’s up!” because I’d unexpectedly and suddenly come to the end of my life!

What’s more, I was absolutely terrified to realise hell really is below me and that I’d be heading down there – even though I didn’t believe in it! I was wrong – so badly, badly wrong!!

Being anti-Christian had been a grave mistake – but it was now far too late!  Yet I’m now able to tell this true story purely for the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.

How did I get there you may ask. And, how on earth did I get out of it? Continue reading
