Heavenly Beings

I shared with a friend recently about us being heavenly creatures with an earthly body. The way I see it, after Christ redeemed us, He also restored to us His Holy Spirit. We require a body to interact with creation (earthly, physical); just as we require our spirit to interact with the heavenly. Without that aspect of our own 'trinity' (body, soul, spirit), there is no access to the heavenly realm - just as Jesus said: 'flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.'

Imagine three interconnecting circles. In the first one, write 'BODY', in the second one which is the one in the middle, write 'SOUL,' and for the last one, write 'SPIRIT.' The interconnecting reality for us between these two realms (BODY & SPIRIT, or earthly & heavenly) is that of the soul (the essence of our being: intellect (mind), emotions, will, personality). That is the doorway between the things of heaven connecting with the things of this earth.

Next Seminar coming up - 26&27 March

More work has gone into leading groups through the teaching handouts, enabling people to have an encounter with God (Entering the Holy of Holies). From the amazing response I had last time, and the numerous individual occasions (one on one coaching) in the meantime, I feel encouraged to share this more widely. I included it as a message during our Sunday morning worship time, based on 1.Corinthians 3, where we are told that through Christ we have become 'the temple of God, the dwelling place for the Holy Spirit.' Just check out Exodus 33:11 where Moses talked with God, 'face to face, as a friend would talk with another friend.' Now that is the kind of encounter with God I am talking about! That is a biblical holy moment ... but thanks be to Christ, it's a moment we can return to anytime we enter into the Holy of Holies (have a look at the OT temple layout, when God travelled with the people through the wilderness towards the promised land). That layout has become the 'map' for a lot of my teaching on this subject.

NDE translation - coming soon: in Italian

At this very moment the final editing is taking place on an Italian translation of my NDE testimony. There may also be a possible French & German translation - but that is still to be negotiated. This is being done by volunteers who have been inspired by this heavenly vision and angelic encounter, and who belive that more people would be blessed by reading it for themselves. Thank you so very much!

I would like to thank all who have passed on this link to others. Sometimes it has led to an invitation - to speak a little about it, and in recent times, to share more about how we can have an encounter with God ourselves (as Jesus said: 'my sheep will hear my voice;' and on another occasion He even mentioned that to those who belong to Him, that He will show Himself to them). All things are possible for those who believe.
