3 days of Visions

[Hidden In Him]

One time I received a prophetic vision from someone who made the assumption, based on me playing the flute on the worship team at church, that I would write songs which would become symphonies. It was similar to what you're describing, Felipe.

Greetings again, Mea_kakau.

I highlighted for you again what I think the key statement is. I think we should always be very weary of receiving "prophetic words" from others when we ourselves have received no such thing. It's because many in Pentecostal circles today go around giving "words" to one another when it has not come from God that operating in the spiritual gifts has such a bad name.

I've received these same sorts of "words" from a few pastors, in fact. I have musical gifts, and the ability to build groups of people into quality worship teams, but I have constantly and without wavering always told them that it was not my calling; that I am called primarily as a teacher. They never believe me, probably because they only see the asset I could be to their ministries if I dedicated myself permanently to them.

I say this because it proves that even men of God can think they know what God's call and will is for another person's life when they actually don't. They just assume things, and this problem is even more prevalent among the laity. Many have no compunctions about ministering "words from the Lord" to others in all likelihood because they see church more as a social club than a place where one should walk in the Fear of the Lord.

All this having been said, the difference here is that Felipe received these things directly from God, not from someone else, and in the form of visions rather than dreams. Granted, he did not receive the interpretation (at least not in its fulness, anyway), so he posted it here. But regardless of what interpreters might tell him, that part of the experience is his and cannot be taken from him, and he therefore knows it's real. The only question is what the proper interpretation is, and when it comes to that the Spirit within him will witness to him when something is accurate and when it is not.

I'll let him respond to your question, but those would be my initial responses if I were directed to me.

God bless,

One time I received a prophetic vision from someone who made the assumption, based on me playing the flute on the worship team at church, that I would write songs which would become symphonies. It was similar to what you're describing, Felipe.

The woman's interpretation of the vision was partially right. She could only base it on what she knew of me at that present time in our church. The portion she got correct was the writing of symphonies. However, they were not symphonies of music rather symphonies of words. God was speaking to me to write novels.

I had played my flute since I was 8 years old. After I was saved as an adult, I received beautiful songs to play from the Lord. These songs changed people's lives. So I assumed as well that this woman was hearing correctly from the Lord. It took eight plus years to realize the vision had nothing to do with writing symphonies as in music. That year I was given a clear vision during a pastor's call to prayer and letting go. During that letting go of any baggage, I gave the Lord my flute and playing it. In return I saw and felt a vision of him giving me a heavy book. It was so heavy I had to sit down. My forearms were literally heavy with the burden of writing that the Lord placed on me that day.

I'd pray for clarity about these interpretations. I'm not doubting anyone's interpretation. I'm not debating them either. I'm simply stating to weigh all answers and then pray for clarity.

Yours in Christ.

Thank you for your words, Mea!

I think it is always good for someone to keep in mind that it is God who knows what He has in store for us and it is also good to have someone else who reminds us of this. I have posted this vision here aiming for opinions and interpretation but I also posted as a testimony that He still speak to us and that we must receive it in faith.

I have had other messages from Him and although I have tried to understand them as best as I could, I always kept in mind that it was Him who knew what it meant and my job was to keep moving in faith and learning and working.

God bless you always.

 

[Hidden In Him]

I used the elevator to move up a "level", I was the one moving the elevator by using a hand crank with a shape similar to this one: It wasn't black though, it was silver.

After getting to this level, I'd open the water valves with my right hand (I didn't noticed a specific type, seemed like a one hand regular ones), use curved stairs that were on left and right sides to move down and close the previous opened valves on the lower level. Then I'd took the elevator moving up and do it again.

Greetings again, Felipe, and hope you are blessed.

Woke up today being reminded of this dream. The part I was still pondering when I left it is right here, and I think I know what I left out now. I'll repost my reply on this section first:

Here is being described the process you will need to go through to release the waters of the Spirit, and "rise" to new levels to accomplish the next part of the vision (everything in this series of visions is sequential). It will involve praying to become "elevated" spiritually to higher levels. The more you pray, the more you will be "moving up" in the process spiritually, and the more the waters of the Spirit will be "welling up" (John 4:11-15). The purpose of you "cranking" on this is to remove fleshly hinderances to walking in the overflow of the Spirit over your life completely. Here it is below you. Eventually it will fill you to overflowing.

Now, the verse I was quoting (John 4:14) literally reads as follows: Jesus stated, "whoever may drink of the water which I will give him shall not thirst again, but the water which I will give to him shall become within him (γενήσεται ἐν αὐτῷ) a well of water springing up into everlasting life."

I mentioned prayer, but I believe what I should have mentioned more specifically is praying in tongues. Do you pray in tongues, Felipe? If not, ask the Lord to grant you the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. This will give you the experience of being filled with the Spirit, which is something the believer thereafter has to continually return to, and the primary way for most is by praying in tongues. Smith Wigglesworth testified that when he prayed he always started out in the flesh, but after awhile the Spirit of God would well up within him and he began to pray in the Spirit. I can testify that the same thing happens with me. It is very similar to the imagery in your dream. At first, we have to exert our own strength, seeking to get to the place during prayer where we have entered into earnestly seeking Him, having progressed from initially praying without much passion or conviction in our words. That is when the Spirit of God will often take over and we enter into tongues. If what we are praying for is something we desire earnestly enough, some eventually enter the place where the Spirit is uttering "groanings that cannot be uttered," as Paul described.

This I believe is specifically what your imagery was describing. We must use our own strength in the initial stages of prayer, and keep "cranking the valves" until the Spirit wells up within us and takes over. The Spirit knows what things we desire, and if we desire them intensely, the Spirit of God will communicate those intense desires to the Father articulately, regardless of us knowing how to or not.

Hope this helped.
