I've been watching a lot of awesome Muslim testimonies (few are on fire for the Lord like Muslims come out of darkness). One guy mentioned how in his conversion process he was challenged to question his prejudice against God entering Creation. When he did consider it honestly, he saw there was no reason why God couldn’t do such a thing.

As soon as he said that something clicked with me, and it didn’t end there. I later began to have a visual sense of heaven interfacing with Creation. It took place in the first heaven. There was some kind of undefined separation, like a thin veil. Behind gray clouds in our atmosphere there was a place of pervasive brilliant, yet soft, light. The clouds obscured most of it, and they were there for our protection, because we would not be able to bear the full revelation of the light in our condition.

There was a hole in the veil that connected the two universes. It was a passageway, and some kind of interaction was going on there, but it is very vague. The important takeaway is that God has indeed entered Creation, and heaven is intimately connected with our universe. This has been a persistent background vision that has stuck with me for over a day now, and the sense I've been getting is an increased perspective of God's sovereign benign involvement in our affairs. It's been very faith-building, and this is for a purpose. We need to be strengthened in order to rise to the last-days challenges facing us. The victory is in the faith.

Muslims and secularists do not have this strength. They must rely on strength of their own souls, which doesn’t amount to much. That is not going to cut it. We have such a treasure of authority and power available to us in the full revelation of Christ. It will behoove each of us to do whatever it takes to get in touch with it and to flow in the reality of the Kingdom that comes and is now.

Yes, I have watched similar testimonies and was awed by the presence of Lord Jesus and how willing He is that none of them perish!!!

I attended a church where a former Muslim shared her testimony of Jesus literally appearing to her in her bedroom. He is so amazing!!!

I have had a vision of the GLORY coming thru a "portal", I suppose, and covering the earth. I kind of know what you are saying here, but I am not so scientific minded. Pastor Bill Johnson does a good job of describing things such as you have here.

I am so happy that God is showing you these things. Many times I do not see, but I sense evil in places or at other times I sense something like the cloud of witnesses. Often I have felt a sweet presence during personal worship at home or when sleeping. Oh what joy that is!

Yes, the kingdom of heaven is near. Amen.

Thanks, Kimmie. I believe as we continue, we are going to see many more signs and wonders. We will return to the church we see in the book of Acts, and everyone will minister and operate in their gifting. If we are open to it, the Lord is going to imbue us with a whole lot of power, to overcome the evil day.

Acts 10:9-11
"About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners."
John 1:51
He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

Acts 7:56
“Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Mark 1:9-11
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well
pleased.
Ezekiel 1:1In my thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.
Psalm 78:22-24

for they did not believe in God
or trust in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;
24 he rained down manna for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.

Whatever can be opened and closed does have a opening/doorway/portal.

There is one thing that puzzles me that you have said, and that is this "The important takeaway is that God has indeed entered Creation, and heaven is intimately connected with our universe."

Since God is "the" creator of all of things created, and He said regarding Himself... "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End".... He would not "enter" creation, as He is the orginator and the creator of heaven and earth ("Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth." Genesis 14)
So, (unless I have misunderstood)..wouldn't He already be fully a part of every aspect of creation and therefore not be entering creation? If you could clarify this part for me, maybe I could see better what you are saying.

Good post OP. I caught a glimpse of this during Christmas vacation, only it wasn't "up". (not assuming you only meant 'heavens, sky, and up mind you) it surrounded us just a slight step off of our frequency and at times, we tap into it through Jesus calling us into it.


It was as if heaven, hell, earth...past, present, future was all here in the now, surrounding us, with what we are being within a dimension of many (not just three or four) experiencing THIS FACET of reality. I know, I know, sounds wordy and over-philosophical, but really is simple.

I also saw a revelation of creation being created from the inside out, not outside in like we are in habit of envisioning it. For example, Adam forming up from the earth that already had God's spirit in it, resulting in life. Like God "morphed" into a dirt character.

When I read your post above, I instantly saw where you were coming from. I too believe that in these last seconds, God will meet the growing evil with a growing good, an aware walking in his glory and demonstration.

Paul, God has been giving clear signs to me lately! I've been learning so much! When I learn something from scripture.....God will verify by showing me that scripture everywhere! But, I feel what you are feeling....that God is working to prepare us and help us to fully understand. I want to learn and understand so much that sometimes I feel like my brain is going to explode!!!! : )

the kingdom of heaven is in the now, it is inside of you. we are each a heaven for God. I can feel angels and saints around me and I know that God is sitting on His throne inside of me. I know i'm united to Christ. I believe this is from God to us,written by a saint that i saw when i woke up, she was a paradise reality for the world and so are each that are close to Jesus. we are now very close or are in the third day ( 1 day is as a thousand years ) since Jesus came and died. when Jesus died, after 3 days he rose from the dead. it is a sign for us.

JESUS :

"Say, Maria, to your [spiritual] father, who asks for a sign to persuade his confreres of certain truths which cannot be denied, that I give them the same answer given to the Feasting Rich Man: 'If they do not listen to Moses and to the Prophets, they will not listen even to One risen from the dead.'

If they do not listen to the voice of their conscience, inspired by Me, which shouts its indisputable and truthful warnings, if they suffocate under their incredulity that remnant of sensitivity which lingers in them, how do you want them to hear other things? If they do not bow their foreheads before the reality that strikes them, and neither remember nor understand nor admit anything, how do you want them to believe in a sign?

They also deny Me, even if they say they do not deny Me. They are the 'scholars' and they have suffocated the beautiful, holy, simple, pure capacity of believing, under the stones and bricks of their science, too soaked with earth to be able to understand that which is not of earth.

Ah! Maria! How much sorrow has your Jesus! I see that dying which I have sown at the cost of My own dying.

But not even if I should appear would they believe. They would set in motion all the tools of their science in order to weigh, catalogue, analyze, the marvels of My apparition. They would display all the reasoning of their culture, disturbing prophets and saints, in order to quote -- wrongly and in a manner that suits themselves more -- to quote the reasons for which I, King and Lord of Creation, cannot appear.

Just as twenty centuries ago, so also now, it is the simple, the children who would follow Me and believe in Me. The simple, because they have the same heart: virgins to rationalism, mistrust and pride of the mind -- babes. No. I would not find in My Church the capacity to believe. Or rather, in the great army of My ministers, I might find some soul that has known how to preserve the highest virginity: 'that of the spirit'.

O holy virginity of spirit! How precious, dear, beloved are you to My Heart which blesses and favors you! O holy virginity of spirit who preserve the whiteness of Baptism for the souls that possess you; who conserve the ardor of Confirmation for the souls that preserve you; who maintain the nourishment of Communion for the souls that abandon themselves to you; who are the Matrimony of the soul with its Jesus, Master and Friend; who are the Priesthood which consecrates to the Truth; who are the Oil which cleanses in the last hour to prepare for the entrance into the Dwelling that has been prepared for all of you! Holy virginity of spirit, who are light for seeing, sound for hearing: how few know how to preserve you!

See, My soul: There are few things that I condemn as severely as this rationalism which rapes and desecrates and kills Faith -- I say Faith with a capital, in order to say true Faith, absolute, regal Faith. I condemn it as My assassin. It is this very rationalism which kills Me in hearts and which prepares and has prepared very sad times for the Church and the world.

I have cursed other things. But none will I curse as this. It has been the seed from which have come other poisonous doctrines, and others, and still others. It has been the treachery which opens the door to the enemy. It has in fact opened the doors to Satan who has never reigned as much as now, since rationalism reigns.

But it is said: 'When the Son of man will come, He will not find faith in hearts'. Therefore rationalism does its work. I will do Mine.

Blessed are those who, as they close the door to sin and the other passions, know how to close the doors of their secret temple in the face of the science which denies, and to live, alone with the Alone Who is All, to the very last.

Truly I say to you that I will clasp to My Heart the unfortunate man who has committed a human crime and repented of it, provided he has always admitted that I can do all. But I will turn the face of a Judge to those who, on the basis of a doctrinaire human science, deny the supernatural in the manifestations which the Father might want Me to give.

A man born deaf cannot hear. True? One who has his eardrums broken by a mishap has no sense of hearing. True? Only I can give them again their hearing with the touch of My Hands. But how can I give hearing to a deaf spirit if this spirit does not let itself be touched by Me?...

One of the greatest sorrows I have is that of seeing how rationalism has infiltrated into hearts, even into hearts that are said to be Mine. It would be useless to let the other priests share in such a gift [of His revelations to Valtorta --Trans.]. It is just among them that one finds those who, while preaching Me and My passed miracles, deny My Power, as if I could no longer be the Christ capable still of speaking to souls who languish from lack of My Word; as if they admit My present incapacity for a miracle and the power of grace in a heart.

No. For now, whatever I say should serve for you and your [spiritual] father. . . I am very, very satisfied that he uses some of My words for himself, for his soul, for his preaching, for the guidance and comfort of other souls, priestly or not. But he should not reveal their source, for now. . . .Therefore let him guide himself. Let him draw on and inform himself of My sayings for himself, for all, but let him seek above all to enkindle charity in hearts, even of his confreres.

Less science and more charity. Less books and more Gospel. It is light in souls, because I am Light. Disencumber all to make room for the Light. . . .

Your spiritual Father says they [his confreres] are earthly, inaccessible? He says too little: they are an earthly enemy, and it is a great sorrow for Me.

To believe is a sign of purity as well as of faith. To believe is intelligence as well as faith. One who believes in purity and with intelligence distinguishes My Voice and gathers It in.

The others equivocate, debate, criticize, deny. And why? Because they live from their heaviness and not from their spirit. They are anchored to the things they have found and do not consider that these are things that came from Me and which have not always been seen correctly. And even if they have been seen and written correctly, they have been written for their times and have been badly understood of the future. These others do not think that I can have something else to say, suited to the needs of the times, and that I am the Ruler of how to say it and to whomever I please, since I am God and the eternal Word Who never ceases being the Speech of the Father.

I attempt the last trials in order to inflame the souls that are no longer living souls, but automatons endowed with movement, and not with intelligence and charity. My work -- from the beginning of this century, the last of the second millennium -- is a miracle of charity to attempt the second salvation of the human race, especially of priestly souls without which the salvation of many is impossible. I substitute Myself for the empty pulpits, or the pulpits blaring words without true life. But few are those who are worthy of comprehending Me. Few even among My ministers..."
