Visions. Pictures. Images. These exist both real and unreal. Visions we see, could be of a person or an object, they are real. Visions we see, images and pictures in a storybook or in an animation, are unreal. They are created. Yet, have you ever wondered if there are visions that exist having infinite reality in them? Visions that are always realistic even if they are simply images or pictures or motion – they are real. How is that possible?
It isn’t, not here, not in this world. But, I have seen them. Yes I have, and I pray that you will see them too because they are special. These are the visions from God, visions from heaven. And in His Kingdom, it is ABSOLUTELY possible.
They came to me unclear at first. Then, they became crystal clear. I can’t tell exactly when I first saw one, but I can vaguely recall the times I figured I did.
If you have read an article I have written previously, “23.10.10”, then you might have identified a vision from God in there. It was the vision I had before my beloved grandma’s death. Several weeks before her death, God seemed to have DRAWN in my mind a picture of my grandma on her deathbed and beside, stood two of my cousins and my aunt. This vision, not a prediction of the future then, but something God allowed me to see that I may glorify Him through this, is a revelation from the above. It came to pass 23rd October 2010. Just when my sister and I left the hospital, I saw the exact two cousins and aunt going up to visit my grandma and it was them who witnessed the death of my dearest grandma. It was then that I realized the vision was from God and not something my wildest imagination created. I grieved, but I thanked the Lord for I know through this His name is glorified. Amen!
If you have also read the article “The glory of God revealed”, you would be awed at the sort of visions I received from God. It was in a mission trip in Ipoh, Malaysia, in November 2010. I was ministering in tongues, along with my mom, praying for the individual members of the local church. When we came to a young man, God WROTE (note the difference in verb used as in the previous vision seen and subsequent ones) in my mind the word “heart” in mandarin. Confirmation of this vision took less than a minute when my mom uttered to him, “God wants your heart.” It was indeed revelation from above. Praise God! A second time I saw a vision was during the next day morning when I was praying in tongues for an elderly lady. Again, God WROTE in my head “intercession”. I struggled with the Lord because I wasn’t sure if that was from Him or of my own imagination. It was unclear. It became clear minutes later when my mom came to pray for her saying that God will raise her up to be an intercessor for Him. The visions God give could come unclear at the beginning, but when you begin to ask Him to show you more clearly, He will. And He will give you a confirmation to it in His appointed time. Faith and patience is all that’s required.
My church, Fruitful Vine Church, is located at Lion City Hotel, Paya Lebar, Singapore. We are looking for a new venue due to the decision of the hotel owner to sell it. The church has been praying for God to reveal to us and show us where the new church location He has prepared for us is. A couple of times while we were praying, God WROTE “Eunos” in my mind and DREW a picture of Eunos MRT. Initially I thought it was again my imagination but no, it isn’t! Confirmation came when my mom told me God had told her that it would be at Eunos area as well. Then, another sister in the church shared with me how God had impressed upon her heart that it would be in Eunos while she was in the cab praying, going past Eunos MRT. God is amazing because He didn’t just give me one confirmation. The more confirmations God provides, the more my doubts shrink, and the more faith is added to me. God’s ways are higher than our ways; His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. All we need to do it trust and obey.
The night before New Year 2011 was simply amazing. The church had thanksgiving service and I stood before the Lord, committing all my plans for 2011 and just soaking in His presence. God DREW in my mind a picture of a horse. This time, I knew for sure that this vision was from God and not my untamed imagination. But, I wasn’t certain what the vision interpreted to be. Just as the Bible says “ask and you shall receive”, so I did. I asked the Lord what the picture meant. The Lord ANIMATED the picture and it was as if the horse started to gallop, like in a race which in the vision I saw, had a very misty finishing line. The Lord said, “Persevere in the race I have set for you”. I figured the misty finishing line meant that despite how far the finishing line is, God wants me to persevere. Then, I recalled a part of the verse from the Bible I have read earlier that morning. It was something about running the race and persevering. It was a confirmation of the vision. I was deeply encouraged by the Holy Spirit and I knew that I will be empowered to serve in 2011.
The final one I’ve had was during church service this morning, 2nd January 2011. I walked forward to be prayed for and I was enjoying the presence of the Lord when the Lord PAINTED a picture of an eagle in my mind, and I was sitting on it. Then, He BROUGHT IT TO LIFE and I saw myself soaring with the eagle. Image to motion. I just love it when God shows me this. It’s like an illustration in the storybook coming to life and becoming reality. It is an awesome experience. The eagle in the vision was extremely huge and I knew the Lord was telling me that I will soar on eagle’s wings in 2011. This just means that in all I do; the Lord will be my strength. He will deliver me from my troubles. Scripture says in Isaiah 40:31, “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” God gave me a confirmation to this when my mom prayed for me. She said, “2011, you will soar like the eagle.” I believe with all my heart that God will seal this word and vision and indeed if God is for me, then who can be against me? If God is for you, then who can be against you?I am certainly looking forward to more visions from God. And I pray with you that you too may experience these visions from God that your walk with God and your life in Christ will NEVER be the same again. It is God’s desire that every son and daughter would see visions and testify of His Name and He is looking for that someone with a heart fully submitted to Him, desiring to be empowered to serve Him, and to walk with Him to the finishing line. Ask, and you shall receive! In these last days, it is time we ARISE and finish the work Jesus started.
Got it? Or rather, done it?
