"Thank you for your kind words of encouragement"


Dear Doves:
Thank you so much for all of your responses, both private and public. I was overwhelmed!
It really made my day. I went back and looked up the day and month of every post connected with my vision of Heaven and they are as follows:  April 5, 7, and 22nd. I had some trouble finding them myself. Please remember that this experience was not a dream but an actual visitation that took place in front of several other people. I told every detail that I could remember. As far as I know I didn't leave anything out. I was reading in Revelations the other day and read the part in which John said that he had been told some things that it was not lawful for man to utter and I said to myself out loud "Yes! That's what it must have been when Jesus whispered into my ear for a long time but I could never remember what He had said." The time has not come for me to remember those things, evidently. That really encouraged me. Of course, I have had some revelations here and there down through the years concerning things I never dreamed of so maybe that's part of it. Sometimes I just get a "knowing" about certain things and get a picture of something and when I tell people they look at me like I'm crazy but that doesn't cause me to doubt the revelation. One thing the Lord told me is that everything has several levels of meaning. (see my poem given to me by God called Onion Skin) Since I learned that, I always try to see the different meanings and to keep my mind open for new revelation. I do not mean to imply that Scripture does not say what it means and means what it says. It does. But sometimes I can read it and just see exactly what God meant whereas before I couldn't get the whole picture. Does that make sense? At any rate, I will tell you more about myself in the future. I don't claim to be a prophet but I do have prophetic gifts, dreams and visions. I haven't had a whole lot of visions, mainly dreams and I have learned the difference. What you don't know is that when I have a dream, I really have to pay attention to it because I have had chronic insomnia since I was a baby. If you want to pray for me, you can pray that God will heal me of that. It is my greatest need! As soon as I get in the right frame of mind to share about my trip to hell, I will. It's just very hard. I have read the two books called Divine Revelation of Heaven and Hell and I was disappointed in them both for some reason. I don't doubt that they are true but didn't make the experience real to me.Differences in writing styles, I suspect. Once again, thank you all for all of your comments and replies. I appreciate you all very much. BTW: the poem Devil's Food Cake came about as a result of a true life encounter with the snake himself. So that will give you a hint as to what to expect from my experience with the Dark Side. I can laugh about it now but I sure wasn't laughing then. Blessings on the Doves!!
