I wanted to write about one of the miraculous events that happened to me one day when I was with the Lord in the spirit. Here I write about a time when I had been asking the Lord for some answers to some spiritual warfare questions that I had. I asked him several questions and he chose to answer me by taking me to heaven. I had been to heaven over my lifetime a few times but this time taught me many things. I wanted to share this trip to heaven so it may help you to learn the way things operate in the spirit and maybe answer some questions you have as well.
One such day, I was brought into heaven. I saw my mother who had just recently died and several family members all around her off in the distance. I could see crowns on the heads of these people but all the crowns were different and designed for each person. Jesus was standing next to my mother and together we had a conversation about somethings that happened on the earth prior to my mothers death. It was a time of healing for me as we spoke of difficult situations and God’s will for those things in my life. Then I was taken to another part of heaven and I awaited a battle that was to take place very soon.
I was in a different place in heaven than I had been in before. I was standing with an angel to my left and told that I must wait a few minutes for things to be in place for me. I was given an angel that was placed upon my chest. This angel was to protect me and be with me. I believe this angel was a greater measure of the Holy Spirit but I am not sure. I was waiting near a smaller gate in heaven. I could see outside that gate and knew that the powers of darkness were out there. I saw how black they were and it drew me to the doorway of this gate to see what was going on outside.
As I walked closer and approached the door way of this gate I could see there were no doors to this archway and the powers of darkness on the outside were forbidden from entering the city. I cautiously approached the archway of this gate to peak outside to the right and see what it was that was capturing my attention. As I peaked outside the gate, an angel that was with me standing about 20 feet from me who had been preparing for battle and who had been awaiting Jesus’ arrival spoke confidently to me, “I wouldn’t go out there if I were you.”
Just as he was speaking this to me I was peaking out the gate to the right and I could see darkness that was so thick and black that you could feel it. I couldn’t feel any of that darkness until I poked my head outside the gate. I was immediately aware of this overwhelming power of darkness and how strong they were. The worst thing was how dark they were and how they felt. I was astounded at how dark the darkness felt.
As the angel spoke these words to me I pulled myself back inside the doorway and no longer was intrigued with what was going on outside. I knew it was a horrible power of darkness that I didn’t want anything to do with. I was glad I was safely inside the gates of heaven. I realized how clean I felt while there. I had been to heaven before but this time I was there for a different purpose and I was sensing and seeing new things.
After I brought my head back inside the gate and finished my conversation with the angel that was standing near me I left with Jesus and this angel and we were flying back to earth. I was taken down to the earth and we were standing outside my home near some pine trees that were behind my home. Jesus was in front of me just to my right about 20-30 feet and the angel that came with us disappeared. I was standing there all alone and looked over and saw Jesus looking at me.
“All I had to do was speak “In the name of Jesus” and the battle was mine.”
I immediately knew in my spirit that I was going to engage in battle. I looked up and knew what was happening as the spirit communicated with my spirit. You see, in heaven you don’t speak with your mouth. You communicate in the spirit. As I looked up I could see all of that darkness that I saw outside the gates of heaven, and it was preparing to come after me. I saw all of this evil darkness which were demons and strongholds (this is the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places) that we read about in Ephesians 6 amassing over my head in the clouds like a vortex or a tornado. These forces were obviously under direction from the devil and they were being called from all over the heavens for I saw them coming from all across the sky for hundreds of miles and convening over head as they circled like a tornado awaiting every evil spirit to arrive.
Then, as the last of the demons arrived overhead and with one voice of command they all dove down this vortex as it spun as black as night in the heavenlies and they descended upon me as if to destroy me. I knew of this evil but I was not frightened. I had no sense of fear or dread.
As they dove down towards the ground, I was looking up and seeing them coming I knew that I could ask for many legions of angels to come and help me fight in Jesus name. I was standing alone but Jesus was nearby. When I heard in my spirit that I could ask for legions of angels to come and help me fight, I asked for the angels to come, and IMMEDIATELY, and without delay angels were literally at my side. I had one angel grab my right hand and another angel grab my left hand. I knew they were different angels because their grip was different. I couldn’t see them clearly because there was so much going on in the spirit as the battle ensued. There was like a force field of angels all around me that would not allow this power of darkness to get to me as long as I spoke the name of Jesus. The demons were held off at about 8-10 feet in every direction and I couldn’t even feel the darkness because the angels were protecting me as they fought with their swords on my behalf. I heard the clanging of the swords and saw the engagement of the forces. All I had to do was speak “In the name of Jesus” and the battle was mine.
Then as quickly as it began, the battle was over and the angels were as pumped over our victory as I get when my favorite football team is defeating the opponent in the Superbowl.
They were excited and jazzed up, patting me on the back and congratulating me, over and over as we flew back to heaven. Most of the angels left with Jesus while some angels were assigned to bring me safely back to heaven. All the way back they were laughing and carrying on as if we had just watched the greatest sports event on the earth together, rooting for the same team as they took the win.
It was an inspiring time with the angels and Jesus as I learned about my authority in the spirit first hand.
