PREFACE

Since the time of the earliest man’s wonderful walk with God in His garden of fellowship and its abrupt end because of man’s willful disobedience, this man’s children have been trying to regain this beautiful communion that was lost. After intimacies of loving fellowship, the Holy God had to expel man, that beautiful creation destined for Him-self. The “flaming sword” in the hands of His holy one still guards the way into His true Presence.

The creature was created to love and adore and bless the Creator. The absolute inability to do so has frustrated and tormented mankind ever since the light went out. Man’s puny religious efforts to tear down this wall of separation has spawned the multitudinous religious systems of the day. He has consistently refused to recognize that it was his sin of wanting to act and live independently of God which raised this sin barrier.

True Christianity is the Presence of God again with man. This is the great purpose revealed in the Old Testament Scriptures and climaxed in the New when Jesus came. God so loved us that He came in Christ, and in His life, death, and resurrection completely restored man to Himself, placing us as sons in a new and heavenly sphere. By a new birth—a new creation—God comes to His place prepared for Him in us.

The price of actually obtaining and living this life of holy, joyful, victorious, adoring Love is so high but so very simple for Him. All is freely offered in His great grace but nothing eternal is cheap. There is His death that must be worked in me daily. There is the discipline over mind and body. I must learn the subjection of all my naturals in the earnest search for the Lord Himself. There must come the horrible revelations of my sinfulness that causes me to humble myself in deep breakings at His feet. Then there is the often very painful circumstances arranged by the Master to sift out my flesh that opposes His perfect will.

In the measure that I come to know deep breakings at His feet and before my brethren and in the honest repenting of my sinful ways be-fore God and man, He pours in of His own life and love. He also teaches me how to put on His beautiful garments of holiness, praise, and adoration.

This is all so vividly portrayed by this young believer to whom the Lord is daily revealing Himself as manifested in these visions. From her recent initial contact with the Lord Jesus, there was given an in-tense desire for Him until it became a daily, disciplined, all-consuming longing. This culminates in hours of seeking until He can reveal Him-self and His great love for her. There is never any seeking of visions or for even His blessings but for the Lord Himself, alone, to love and to adore.

The Lord’s highest purpose is a people brought unto Him for a high, holy, love communion so intimate that for us it can only be likened unto the marriage union. He takes these from the base and despised of this world—those who became great sinners in their own eyes as well as His. By one personal experience after another with the Lord these are cleansed, delivered, and brought unto Him.

The Lord will jealously go to no ends to release His chosen ones from that which steals time and attention from Him. This is the Bride for which He came to sanctify and clothe to present unto Himself with-out spot or blemish.

The same Lord is now very really reaching out in tender and holy yearnings for His own. At the same time there is put into motion all the awesome activity of the Godhead to put down His enemies beneath His feet. To separate His own unto Himself, these visions denote the use of tremendous operations of every means: adverse and afflicting circumstances; persecutions; demon forces; supernatural signs. All of this is so amply confirmed by the Scripture.

A peculiar significance of these revelations is that these are the last days for man’s reign! More clearly than ever before He is saying, “Get ready now! Stop all activity that isn't wholly from Me. by Me. and for Me!" . . . (Especially the religious.) Let repentance and a broken spirit before Him be the normal place for love to break forth! Be clothed with Christ and His transforming, all-covering love as the motivation for everything! (It is everything for He is love.)

Awake! Awake! For these warnings are to the professing church!

Not everyone that says, “Lord, Lord, shall enter. . nor even all the miracle workers!

“No man can come to Me except he be drawn.”

“Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up.”

“It is your own selves you must test to discover whether you are true believers. Examine yourselves. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you unless you cannot stand the test?” (Wey.)

“For the great day of His wrath is come and who shall be able to stand?”

“Judgment has begun at the House of God. ”

Though these glimpses into that other world are not to teach doctrine, they do confirm God’s ways. But for those who rigidly and religiously hold certain particular doctrinal views these might be strong meat.

The true spiritual content and purpose even in these heavenly scenes are hidden from the religiously wise and revealed unto those childlike in spirit. It is this elect company that has been given a glimpse of the Lord and His great love. As a result, these have been struck down by the awful sense of their own sinfulness and complete helplessness apart from Him. Yet enamored with that 'Fairest of Ten Thousand,” they are being prepared and taught in these divine principles—His ways.

For them there will be found by prayerful contemplation in these last-day visions, blessed invitations and confirmations which will lead into the “banqueting house" of that Altogether Lovely One, "And His banner over me (is) love.”

“The marriage of the Lamb is come and His Bride has made her-self ready.”

"She has been permitted to dress in fine, radiant linen—for the fine linen signifies the righteousness of the saints. ” (Ampl.)

INTRODUCTION

Having filled this young woman with His Spirit, He gave to her a most unique childlike spirit and a great spiritual thirst for Jesus alone. In answer to her thirsting, He began to call her away into His world. In prayer as she would seek His face and pour out her heart before Him, as she would love and adore Him in deep brokenness of spirit, suddenly without any pre-sensations, she would be instantly caught away into His heavenlies and shown wonderful things of the heavenlies and taught glorious things both for her personally and regarding things to come, things concerning the church and His dealings with other lives. Many things are too personal or too high to be told. All things are grossly lowered and almost destroyed by putting them into human words and expressions.

She found great pain even in expressing them to me, her pastor, for they suffered so much to be brought down into speech and thought. The Lord Himself ordered her to tell her pastor everything and this she does in simple obedience but not without great pain and many tears and with the feeling of total inadequacy of finding means of expression for things so high, so holy, so totally unlike anything in this world. So only a faint idea can be conveyed or obtained by these words. Yet be-cause they involve things to come concerning the world and His church and being given the responsibility of receiving these things from her directly, I feel that some things are to be shared.

It is to be remembered that this began directly after her conversion right out of a pagan world in which she had no time for scriptural instruction save in a few basics, so none of her visions are based on a pre-knowledge in the Scriptures of things they at times so closely parallel. I have most carefully examined all these things in the light of my many years of experience and scriptural and spiritual knowledge and find them above question. They are not to be defended neither taken as some strange dream for the whole spiritual tone of both the recipient and the vision itself raises them to a place of importance in showing forth some hidden things in this last day and age. Not only this, but the total change in the character, personality and spiritual anointing all testify to the validity of the high ways the Lord Himself came to teach her. He that hath ears let him hear.

She is taken away into the heavenlies and shown scenes in which she participates and converses both with the Lord who reveals Himself in constantly changing manifestations, but also at times with the hosts of the many classes of angelic beings who occasionally speak to her directly or converse with their Lord. Many things she hears and understands she cannot remember at all in her natural mind when she is returned from the trance. When she is in a trance so far no noise nor manner has been able to call her back until the Lord releases her. Many other things, however, she is allowed to bring back and tell of that which she hears. However, the things said and forgotten the Lord has told her that when He is ready and the right time comes she will remember them and will tell them.

These wonderful things are told as nearly as humanly possible in the exact words and inflections as told to me in Spanish, using her terms and her manner of comparisons rather than rewriting or changing in any way. These have all been fully checked out by her in careful perusal as there is a holy fear of making any mistake or telling one word of His or one detail that was not seen, described as closely as human words can tell.

These things were told to me in much pain and with many tears as the fear of the Lord was upon her and the glory of the vision so filled her that speech was at times most difficult, even though usually several hours would elapse before we could find a quiet time for conversing. After the evening service and the typical late supper, we would meet in our home and there she would slowly, laboriously and tearfully bring forth into human speech these high and holy things.

She stated that before telling them they remained back low in her being, not even in her memory, like she could recall other things, but that somehow when she made the effort she could sort of see deep within her like a replay. He had told her to tell these things and also told her that He would watch to see if it was correctly told. At one time she held back a difficult part and could not sleep, feeling deep condemnation till the next day when she could unburden her soul.

However, once they are told, they then come into her natural mind and then she can talk about them all she pleases without the slightest trouble and all objectively. But the first telling is totally subjective and she bares her very inner being and at times prayer must be made together that she find strength and ways to be able to bring these things to light in our human world. She is always most reluctant to discuss these things, even refrains from thinking upon them and lives a very normal, vivacious, happy life apart from these things. There is never the slightest display of any self shown in bringing them forth but to the contrary with the greatest reluctance and timidity and self-effacement which gives yet another true mark of their veracity.

The language used is very limited and simple and it is her own words, translated directly into English as exactly as will make sense. For this reason and for the emotional and subjective manner brought forth will account for stilted and at times unliterary expressions. Nor is this an attempt to write a book, but rather to give an accurate record of things shown graphically and wonderfully to a simple-hearted child who is too new in Him to have ever heard or read them before.

Chapter 1

Some Observations

A few observations of what she is shown may be of help. She is carried into a world where all things are alive. She explains it as if the life even in trees, stones, water or materials is so manifest that it would be as if the human body were transparent and the very life processes were visible within. Only in that world even that is a poor comparison, for life is so totally different from our world.

All things are of light. They radiate it. They are bathed in it and the quality and quantity of this light has a great deal to do with the order of beings they are, or with the order of importance they are. It is a light so vastly different from the light of our sun that she is incapable of finding any manner to describe it. The light there lives, pulsates, radiates, is soft though outshining any sun or star.

All things there are exceedingly soft and smooth, nothing is harsh nor rough. All things are very sweet and endearing and cause no harsh reactions nor awaken any fears of horror or of anything monstrous even though all are so unlike any beings or things seen in this world. All things are in great harmonious perfection and in perfect harmony with each other. Nothing clashes, nothing is disordered, nothing is dirty or sullied or stained. Even works are done in perfect order and without trash.

All things are of greatest purity and perfection and there is total holiness in all things. So purified and so holy are all things that they are open and transparent. Nothing or no being has anything to fear or to hide, nor would there be any hiding place. No evil of any nature could stand to be in that place. Holiness was evident in every being from the lowest to the highest orders.

Every movement, every word, everything and parts of things or beings are marked by such harmonious unity and perfection. Everyone there radiates great sweetness. Love is so often and constantly manifested and in such various manners that it is the one dominant note of all things everywhere. It is a love filled with joy and harmony like a great chorus of love manifested constantly and endearingly.

Each time she goes there she is received with such fullness of joy and great tenderness. From the angelic beings there flows forth constantly goodness and purity, purity of thought, of actions, of all intentions in goodness. Their laughter and joy is so celestial that it cannot find comparison here. So lacking any type or kind of mockery, ridicule or scoffer. Even when she asks questions that sound so stupid they laugh but so kindly that she never feels rebuffed nor hurt in the slightest manner. She describes it as a kind of laughter never seen in the world of men, impossible to imitate or describe. Filled with pure love and joy, tender and sweet, the beings there cause neither fear nor shame.

All the movements, whether flying swiftly on outspread wings or in other manner, move with great velocity but with such smoothness and harmony of movement that there is never a harsh maneuver, never a sudden or un-thought move. Every movement is as if pre-planned by some great will and wisdom that harmonizes all things together.

The angels laugh, talk and converse among themselves, with Jesus and at times with her but she has never been permitted to re-member any words that the angels speak to her. They sometimes have wings and are of many different classes. She has been given to see many different classes of angelic beings and of many various orders of importance. Some are obviously much, much higher than others and all seem to be related to their various functions as will be seen by the visions recounted.

Yet none of these glorious beings are ever comparable to Jesus Himself. He so outshines and out-loves so high above them that they lose both importance and many times even interest at all. One is only conscious that they are there and nothing more. They one and all pale greatly beside the incomparable glory of Jesus Himself. Just as beautiful grapes in a gorgeous arbor that surround a pair of lovers so they lose importance in His Presence. The angelic beings are always the same according to their class and functions but Jesus re-veals Himself in ever-changing forms and beauties. Nor does He ever reveal Himself in fullness at any one time for He told her that she could not stand the fullness of that revelation at present.

The many visions have been of ever increasing importance and of ever increasing complexity, beauty and greatness of celestial order. To date, she has been granted many visions and obviously many of these will not be written for the public. Others will be recounted in part as showing forth some special thing regarding the heavenlies or things there. It is important to note that as she is shown various scenes which are the main item of the vision she can see nothing till the Lord orders her to look. When she first looks she sees nothing, but when He says to look the second time she is then enabled to see what He intended for her to see.

Most substances she was given to touch have both form and sub-stance as well as light and life. She could both touch them and carry them if they were small enough, but she could also put her hands clear through them without destroying either their form or sub-stance. She said it could be slightly compared to passing your hand through a ray of light with body, but at the same time you could pick up that ray of light and carry it with you if you so desired.

She found also that she was visible in her earlier visions when they were given on a simpler plane in heaven. But she was exceedingly tiny—about an inch tall but perfectly formed. This troubled her so she asked the Lord why she was so tiny. He answered that it was not because she had become tiny but rather she was her actual, normal size. Rather it was because the angelic beings were so very large. When the visions were taken into higher realms of heaven she found there things so much mightier and grander that she disappeared al-together and became quite insignificant and of no importance whatsoever. Yet this caused neither fear nor discomfort for she lost none of her abilities to know, feel, understand or participate.

Always when she would come out the Lord would give her a special brief portion of scripture for her to study.

Introduced to "Them"

Her first introduction to the angels—whom she calls “THEM”— was according to the following manner early in June of 1970.

The Lord called me to take time alone with Him. 1 obeyed Him and as I was praying I suddenly saw a group of angels coming towards me with Jesus in their midst. They were very large and I saw myself very tiny before them. But much larger by far than the angels was Jesus. I saw them; they were extremely large and oh, so beautiful with beautiful wings but at rest. All were identical. They were all dressed with a cloth that appeared to be woven out of pure light. It shone with great brilliancy, irradiating light, shining and glorious. They moved so smoothly with a most delightful harmony and grace and were so sweet and so submissive. These angels had faces some-what in the likeness of men but not exactly, being indescribably different and so much purer and nobler. Jesus also was dressed in a robe of light like theirs but much brighter. I saw nothing to fright-en me nor to cause any unpleasant reaction although all was so different and unexpected. The hands and feet of the angels were absolutely lovely, delicate and beautiful. They expressed love and joy to me both in tender looks and in the very presence of them.

During all this time I felt covered, absolutely covered with love pure, warm and glowing all within me. It was like a fire that would consume itself in me. Jesus was talking to them and I listened and they listened. They did not talk to me this time. Jesus talked to me and I understood everything He said. They listened and laughed but I could not remember anything. Then He suddenly returned me, to myself and I was lying on the floor feeling all warm and aglow with the warmth of His Presence still upon me.

His Feet

A few days later still in early June she was in prayer and again suddenly she was THERE. They were coming towards her and Jesus was coming in their midst. When they surrounded her she was in much fear. Jesus spoke to her and said, "Don’t fear!” These words produced a great peace within her. She was weeping extremely and thought within herself that she was losing her mind. Again Jesus spoke to her saying, "Peace.” Suddenly all the disturbing thoughts passed from her and she found herself at His feet weeping greatly. She continues:

He was sitting close beside me and I felt again that strange glow of love begin to cover and fill me with glory and sensations beyond words. I felt a great shame at being there and being so utterly unworthy to be there. Something seemed to push me closer to Him and I felt such a keen desire to touch His feet. I continued weeping much, but weeping now out of pure love and adoration that flowed out to Him. He told me that He was going to teach me many things in this manner. Then I took courage and expressed my desire and asked permission just to touch His feet. He smiled so sweetly at me with a smile I cannot describe and said, “Yes, you may.” So I just moved over a little closer and touched His feet as I buried my face upon them. Oh that touch! It was like a mighty impact almost unbearable but so glorious. Like a mighty current of electricity flowing through me. I began to feel like a little pat of butter on a hot fire, as though I were being consumed. But at the same time I was not consumed.

Later the pastor asked me if I had seen the wounds in His feet. But I hadn’t seen them because I was weeping too much to see anything. Neither could I speak a word nor even think anything. He began to speak much to me telling me how much He loved me and that I need not have any fear. That I was to draw near to Him very often and that this was not going to be the last time that I would be given to see Him but that in this manner He was going to teach me during this time. I was most conscious that all the angels were watching me but I did not look at them anymore. And then He returned me to my room once more.

The Angels Play

It was the 19th of June. As I was praying I became most uniquely desirous to know if and how the angels play. “How ridiculous,” I thought and went on praying. But the thought would not leave me. Suddenly I found myself there and with THEM. Jesus was there with His angels as before and they were all laughing. Jesus spoke to me saying, "What would you like to ask me?” The only thing that I could think of was to ask how the angels play, but I was ashamed of such a ridiculous question of such minor importance. But I could not think of anything else. Again He spoke saying, "Go ahead. Ask me what you would like.” So I took courage and in much shame and confusion I let Him know my desire to know if and how the angels play. Jesus and all the angels laughed, but it wasn’t a laughter that caused me shame. Just laughter of pure joy and I knew that they were not offended nor was Jesus offended. He just laughed and yet did not answer me, but showed me other unrelated things.

Then it was time for the evening service. In a time of high praises when all were glorifying the Lord, I suddenly found myself THERE and with THEM. I found myself in a vast field. The field looked like it was made of some beautiful cloth made out of cottony clouds of light that both lived and moved and irradiated light. How strange and how far removed from any substance found in this earth. It was a field that looked so glorious. The angels appeared less glorious than hitherto as if they had somehow changed themselves expressly for this very situation. In the services I had felt cheated, for the Lord had not answered me and now Jesus spoke to me saying, "Did you doubt? You must never doubt. I heard your request and here I am.” There were other angels there with Jesus that did not enter into this play or game or whatever it was. Jesus watched us like a loving Father watches His children play but He did not participate.

This time Jesus revealed Himself in a manner a little closer to human and His form was less impressive, that is to say less brilliant, less show of power yet withal very beautiful, tender, sweet and loving. The marks of the wounds of His passion were clearly visible which they always were and He wore them as if proud of them. They appeared to me cruel and ugly but He was not ashamed of them, as if they were a joy to Him.

Suddenly I was with a group of these angels in this vast field and they began to play with me. They carried me in their arms and with great tenderness and great swiftness of flight they rushed back and forth over this great field passing me from one to another. I felt like I was floating. All laughed and with much pleasure and joy. For a long while at great speeds they covered that huge field of strange material from side to side, back and forth, passing me from one to another always with great tenderness. I found myself laughing with joy with them. After a long while I began to feel tired from so much exercise although I had been carried and floated there with them. Suddenly I again found myself in the service an hour later. Strange to say I was actually very weary but so relaxed and with the glow of His love upon me.

Chapter 2

The Vision of the Cross

When I went into prayer on the 24th of June with a special re-quest on my heart, I was suddenly in the Spirit as at other times. But this time in much fear and anguish of spirit, for my pastor had suggested that I ask the Lord to show me His cross. I was afraid that it would be asking too much and that He would be displeased and not answer me. But Jesus said, “This request is from me be-cause I have desired to show you these things.” Although I was both ashamed and afraid at these words, He calmed my fears and told me to look.

At first I found myself weeping greatly and pained, feeling the sensation of death about me. I had the inner sense and knowledge that I had been transported back in time to the time of the crucifixion. I felt the anguish and pain and sensed that I was actually participating in that very happening of His death, as if I, too, were dying in deep, intense pain though not in the physical. Rather as though it were a terrible pain of love. He was there before me with all of His angels and I wept much for I felt in that moment much agony. Neither could I look at either Him or at them.

Second, being in this agony, I saw before me His body all destroyed and terribly mutilated. His heart was exposed before my eyes with His side a gaping wound. The part of Him most terribly and horribly wounded was His heart. So tortured. So destroyed. So mutilated. Yet it was still beating. His body was not upon the cross but laid out before me. With all these terrible wounds His heart was still beating.

I saw that His heart greatly overflowed with mighty love that was far beyond words to tell. I could see this mighty love flowing and flowing forth from that horribly wounded heart. I felt that this love and this terrible suffering became fully identified with my own person or being. This love was tremendous, powerful and intense, passing by far the ability of even understanding it. As I beheld and was identified with Him feeling the keen pain and deep sorrow of it all, I saw His heart suddenly stop beating. This Beautiful Being died. This tremendous love stopped flowing. This being so loving and so filled with love was no more. This caused to exist in my inner being an exceeding pain, perturbation and grief. I seemed to die with Him. And now the stopping of that heart deeply perturbed me. All that love stopped flowing and it seemed that all the world stopped with it. Never in all my whole life, not even when I tried suicide, had I felt such pain and deep anguish. Agony! Pain! Horror! Anguish of spirit! All seemed to be over.

Then suddenly I found myself in a third scene. Someone said that I need not feel this pain and desperation any longer because He was with me. Suddenly He was there before me glorious and alive and strong. He drew near to me and as He drew near all the anguish and pain left. I felt as if His glorious being seemed to settle down over me and cover me with His love. Joy deep, strange and glorious filled me to overflowing, filling all the place of anguish and pain. There returned to me all the full, deep security that He lived. Peace flowed forth from His glorious PRESENCE. He spoke to me saying that never more would I feel the pain of death. Never again would I have to pass through death as this time. I knew then that I had been identified with Him in His death, so was I now identified with Him in His life. That wonderful heart of love over which I had so grieved was now alive and would never die again.

Showers

I was before the Lord on the evening of the 8th of July, seeking His face and pouring out my heart before Him, when suddenly I was There. In the Spirit I found myself surrounded by a sweet, powerful force of love. It not only surrounded me but invaded me to the inmost part of my being. At the same time it brought with it such a deep sense of peace, of security and of well-being. I saw myself encircled by those beautiful angels with their wings folded irradiating light and loving care. Jesus was with me in this angelic circle. His glory shined all around and upon all. He was just like I had last seen Him and He was just loving me. It was just like being inside a dense, transparent, invisible but tangible cloud of pure LOVE. As I was completely covered in this bright cloud of love it began to rain.

It rained and rained and rained. But what a strange rain it was. It was not like rain on this earth because it was not wet at all. It was a heavenly rain and it rained all the time I was there. The large drops were like drops of pure crystal lights, or like small diamonds that had light and life inside them. They fell from above so softly and smoothly like little stars. I played and played with the rain drops, catching them in my hands. Although each one gave me such a sense of joy and pleasure, my hands did not get wet. Although of substance, they were still so light and airy and I carried them about in my hand. I laughed and laughed from pure pleasure and the angels laughed and rejoiced with me as if they were enjoying my joy. Jesus showed me that this was His rain of blessing.

Later I was so amazed for in the service that night there was a prophetic word concerning the beautiful showers of rain that He was even now sending upon His people. I felt so joyful for I had been given to see and feel and play with that very rain.

The Path of Light

On the 21st of July, I was given to enter the realms of the Spirit once again. The first sensation was of a most endearing sweetness that surrounded me. Before me and even under my feet was a pathway of pure celestial light that stretched way out before me to the limit of my view. It was like a ray of purest, harmonious light, like those rays that emanate from His own person. This pathway was just my own size for I am very tiny in that world. This pathway of light, long but wide, just wide enough for me alone, crossed a deep and terribly dark abyss. The deep darkness which bordered both sides of this pathway of light was frightening. I was most conscious of its being there below me, knowing within myself that it was an evil place. However, I did not feel insecure but very protected because on both sides of the pathway and arching up over the top like a covered bridge were great, shining, beautiful angels. They lined the pathway and made a tunnel for me of their bodies of light. They were the most beautiful angels I had yet seen. They reached up so high I could feel their kindness, goodness and tender love covering me.

The path of light with the bright shining of the many angels made a tremendous way of light through all that darkness outside and below me. I was so covered that I could not even see that great, dark abyss below me. I do not even know how I knew it was there, but I was keenly cognizant of its terrible waiting below me. I felt neither fear nor weariness as I walked that way. On ahead of me, I could see Jesus. He was not by my side in the pathway but was on ahead of me.

As I walked, I felt so literally covered by love and sweet peace as those heavenly beings shined forth on me. This path of light was of real substance, of the substance that things are made of there. Though it was light, it was tangible and substantial, and I could feel it under my feet. It was not like a ray of light, but was light in substance. It was a living light, for nothing there is dead nor inert. All things are living. This pathway was a living light and it was very beautiful.

Chapter 3

All About Jesus

I was again permitted to enter into the Spirit, and I found myself with Jesus and all of His angels. His love covered me as ever and this time He showed me directly, His wounds. Oh, they were so terrible. But even though they were great, ugly, painful wounds, they SHONE FORTH RAYS OF LIGHT like living jewels in His hands and feet. He showed me them as if they were His glory and His pleasure, not His shame or His pain. And the love in me for Him was so great, it was like great pain. Then He told me to look and as I did, I saw off in the distance another Jesus, like a complete twin of this lovely Person at my side. This other Jesus—which I realized was the same Jesus but another manifestation of Himself that He was showing to me was very clearly visible and was suspended in the air.

The Power of Jesus

He seemed full to overflowing with great, mighty POWER. Oh. how powerful He was! Up until now. He had been so tender, sweet and loving, gentle and kind that I had never realized His greatness and power. He drew out from His being, even from all parts of His great shining body, tremendous rays of pure power like mighty lightning flashes only more powerful, much more prolonged and much brighter. These He discharged in all directions sending them forth as mighty surges of power. It was so impressive and so astonishing. His power was so immense. Then I began to realize how glorious but how awful also is Jesus. Then the Jesus at my side spoke to me and said I was to carefully keep all the things He had given to me and was yet to give me so that nothing be lost.

His Limits

On this day, the 16th of August, I was feeling exceedingly sad and depressed for I had not been able to give the word in the vision directly to a certain visitor. I had become so emotionally moved and wept so because I felt I had disobeyed Jesus and that He would punish me, and I could not see Him again. Nor did I enter there as at other times. Then suddenly I found myself like on the porch

of a house (though neither porch nor house were visible, yet that was the impression I felt) as though I were in the vestibule of the heavenlies rather than on the inside like I had always been before. There, I found myself complaining and asking why that had been allowed and why He had left me. Then I heard Him say, “Why are you knocking on the door? The door is open. You may always enter when you will do as I have told you before.” I answered that I felt like a great failure for I had failed to obey His order. He answered that when He gives an order, whether we know it or not, that order is ALWAYS FULFILLED. He never gives orders that are not fulfilled. When I asked why I had been given to feel this great hurt and had been wounded. He answered that I had neither been wounded nor hurt, that I had felt pain only, but that He was with me and that His presence is a continuous protection. He continued saying that when He is with us, we may feel pain, but that nothing is ever permitted to injure or wound us, that the enemy is not permitted to injure us because He is with us.

And then I saw Jesus at my side; but ahead of me was Jesus again. But the One that was within that place with all His glory and beauty accompanied by all His glorious angels was so much higher and more glorious than the much smaller and much more human Jesus that was at my side. Then He spoke to me saying that these things had happened because I had gone outside of His limits. He could go with me in that higher and more glorious Presence only so far, and that if I went farther, then He would have to reduce His glory and His Presence and His revelation to me to accompany me. I had gone outside of these limits but this lesser, more human-like Jesus was still with me and therefore the enemy had only been able to cause me pain but no injury. I saw that there within His limits, within the house as it were, there was so much brighter light, so much more glory. All His angels were in there with Him and outside with me was only this other reduced Jesus alone with very little light and no angels at all.

Winds of Power

Having a painful sore throat that day which made it very difficult to swallow, I thought that I would not be able to enter into the Spirit. But the urge to get alone with Him and pray was too strong to put off even for sickness, so I went to prayer. Suddenly, I was THERE and I saw Jesus. His whole body was suspended high in the heavens and as always, His whole being and raiment was radiant with that light that ever accompanies Him. A number of angels were there with Him but took no part in this vision; they were but spectators. All around Him and enveloping Him, there was a most strange and powerful wind blowing. There was no debris in this wind but it was fully visible; it had substance and consistency and was full of life and light. But its most marked characteristic was its great manifestation of POWER. It blew with great power and might. It not only enveloped Jesus and the angels but me also. At first I saw it from a distance but then I was moved to be within this great wind and I found myself beside Him.

With all this tremendous manifestation of power in this living wind, I was not afraid because Jesus spoke to me telling me not to fear. His word filled me with great peace. The wind was blowing with great velocity, although I could not tell from whence it came. After a while in the midst of this most strange and invigorating wind. Jesus spoke to me saying that soon there would be a taking hold of His strength and His power and a marching forth in the paths that He had already marked out. promising that He would accompany His own throughout these paths. Returning to my natural state. I found myself bathed in sweat though the day was cold. My throat was entirely healed and the infection did not return.

Scene on a Screen

On this day, August 20, I found it very hard to enter into His presence in prayer. I was in much desperation of spirit and in many tears. Suddenly. I found myself in the Spirit. There was Jesus in all His usual beauty and splendor and the angels with Him. Immediately, all the sense of desperation left and there flooded my being that tremendous love and peace that He ever radiates upon me. All welcomed me with such tender looks and sweet smiles. But right away Jesus spoke to me, telling me to look. As I did so. I saw as it were, a large screen before me like a window into another world. The angels with me also turned to look at the scene so strangely portrayed before me. In that scene. I saw Christ seated upon a throne. Around Him were many angels.

But how strange it was! For this Christ that I saw before me was a manifestation so vastly different from the One who stood beside me and bade me look. There He was so high, so filled with glory and splendor and so vastly increased in size and majesty. All the angels standing around Him also were of a type of beings I had never before seen. Because they were distinctly different in their whole beings and vastly much brighter and greater in size, I knew immediately that they were of an order of angelic beings much superior to those seen hitherto and to those who were with me looking at this portrayal or manifestation. They were so much more beautiful and perfect in their harmonious beings, yet they radiated tenderness, love and great kindness. This Christ so glorious and beautiful, so far, far superior to those glorious beings surrounding Him, allowed me to see His wounds. Oh. how different they were! He wore them as blazing jewels. They shined forth in beautiful rays and He wore them like beautiful adornments of His Person. This Christ was so mighty, brilliant and awesome that I was filled with dread. But the Jesus who stood beside me and showed me this manifestation of His greater self in majesty and power spoke to me telling me not to fear. Then this fear left me.

In front of this Christ seated upon a throne was a great white stone like marble. It was white, polished and very beautiful but it appeared dead. This was the first time I had ever seen anything dead in the regions of heaven. As I watched, this more glorious Christ so filled with majesty and power spoke to me. His words coming to me caused a great impact in my inner being. It was like a great bolt of electric current passing through me. I fully understood what He said to me but when I came out of that place I was not enabled to remember what He had said.

Then He spoke to the great stone that was before Him and His words seemed to enter into that stone and it began to change. Life entered into it and it became a living stone. Life was plainly visible within it. Then it began to have movement in itself and changed its substance and became filled with light, shining forth in radiant splendor. This caused me much wonder.

Although all were so very different from the angels and Jesus at my side I was made so certain that it was one and the same Jesus but in a higher and so much more sublime realm. From Him—even though so much higher and majestic—I could feel that same tender love. He was so filled with goodness, kindness, sweetness and tenderness that He did not cause me any fear, though otherwise I knew that I would have been terribly afraid.

The Majestic Christ

The next evening as I was praying I was again suddenly lifted into that wonderful region, but this time I was taken directly into that place which I had seen as on a screen or through a window that night before. This time I never saw the smaller, more human-like Jesus nor the smaller, more human-like angels. There directly before me was this glorious, majestic Christ, and I was sore afraid. I was prostrate before Him, and dared not lift up my eyes to look upon Him. Nor could I any longer see myself as at all other times, as a tiny being beside those Great Ones. Now, they were so much greater that I was quite invisible and quite insignificant, of no importance whatsoever. Yet, this did not frighten me.

This great majestic Christ was seated upon His throne so filled with radiant, glory-light, that even with my eyes down and closed, it filled me with wonder. When He opened His mouth as if to speak. I heard no voice, but I saw a power, visible and radiant, coming forth out of His mouth like a visible substance, soft and wonderful. It enveloped me and raised me up, causing me to look directly upon Him. As I looked at Him, so awesome and majestic. He spoke directly to me saying, “Do not have any fear, for I love you dearly.” His words caused great peace, tranquility and security to flood me. Great waves of pure love washed through me unto Him who was so glorious. His love that flowed out upon me was strong and vibrant and almost violent in its greatness.

As I looked upon Him, there was such a brightness and a shining forth of His glory-light that I could not see His person in clarity. I could see that the angels round about Him were beings so much higher that even they were frightening. They were much more perfect beings, not anything like humans either in form or features.

Their brightness was much superior to the angels I had seen hitherto. The very perfection of these great beings began to fill me again with fear. Again Jesus spoke to me telling me not to fear for I was greatly loved and need have no fear. Several times He had

to repeat these words to me to keep my fears away.

Then He showed me something very wonderful that He held in His hands. It was glorious and filled me with wonder. The angels also showed me something that they had in their hands which was very wonderful. All this while, the power that had come forth from His mouth sustained and upheld me so that I fainted not at the glory of that sight. High above the head of Jesus were great clouds of glory and light and luster, but I could not look into them at all. In these clouds there was someone hidden, a person with whom Christ was conversing. I could hear the conversation and the voices, but I was not enabled to remember either the words they spoke or what the thing was that they showed me in their hands.

The Wrath of Christ

As I was lying on my prayer mat worshiping the Lord, I was taken into the realms of the Spirit. I found myself placed under a transparent canopy of pure LOVE. It was the strangest and loveliest feeling, very real and tangible, like a living substance given to fully cover me, as it were in a hiding place. I felt myself overflowing with the love of Jesus. It was not like anything ever before experienced and I felt so at rest and so utterly secure. I saw Jesus at close distance to me in the highest plane yet visited. So mighty, He seemed larger than the greatest mountains. He was the very same glorious and majestic Christ I had seen the evening before.

But how terrible was His face and visage! He was so utterly trans-formed from the loving, tender Jesus I had known before. Now He was in great wrath and His fury was awful to behold. I have seen the visage of furious animals when they are fighting, but the face of Jesus in awful wrath was far, infinitely far more terrible than any animal in its fury. It was so dreadful that had I not been totally covered, I would have perished by the sight. He was directing all His wrath in the opposite direction from my place of refuge. I saw Him rise up in His mounting fury and step up upon a terrible ball of shining fire. But it was not a kind fire like the fire of love. It was a consuming, burning, destructive fire like a huge sun, but far larger and brighter than the sun has ever shined. In the heat of His fury, He mounted up at terrible velocity upon this frightening, living fireball. From His hand there shot forth rays of great power and of terrible destruction. As He began to rise up. He spoke to a waiting group of tremendous angelic beings who were in rank and order like a mighty host of warriors. All of them were angels of the higher order and rank belonging to this sphere. They were all in great brightness and they, too, were all terribly furious. They all seemed to fully reflect in their own beings the terrible wrath of the Christ arisen against His enemies. As He spoke to them rising up in great speed and violence, the angels shot precipitously down in the direction of His wrath, also in great speed and violence against the enemies who were to me unseen. They all rushed downward as if they were anxiously seeking prey to destroy. From their hands also shot forth the same rays of power which had come forth with such violence from Jesus' hands.

In spite of all this terrible and frightening display of divine wrath, in spite of His visage so utterly transformed into rage that I had never imagined possible, I felt so secure in my covering of love. So secure was I, so loved and loving Him. But at the same time I found myself fully approving of this wrath and fury. I felt it was so right and so just, so correct in spite of its fearsome aspect. Nothing in all the worlds nor under the worlds nor in heaven itself could ever stand against such terrible fury and divine WRATH. So powerful was it and so violent that words can never tell the frightening wonder and splendor of such fury. I knew in me that something was about to take place.

When I first saw this scene, all were waiting in the full manifestation of expectancy for Him to arise and to put on His great wrath. I felt no fear nor dread for I was so fully and securely covered with His love. Nevertheless, I never want to see this beautiful, tender yet powerful Jesus arise in fury like that ever again.

Wrath Continued

The next night while praying before the evening service, again the Spirit took me up into His realms. There 1 saw the Lord, high and full of glory and majesty. He was seated upon a throne very high and suspended. All the holy beings around Him were also suspended high and lifted up. These angels were so different. Their faces did not resemble human faces nor animal either. All I can say to describe them is that they looked like ANGELS. To describe them is beyond words of human origin. I feel like it sullies them to even put things so high into human terms. I even feel prohibited to think much about these things. They seem to dwell in the memory of my spirit rather than in my mind. I see them inside of me and not like I remember or recall other things to mind. These angels are so utterly superior to other kinds seen before, so perfect, so utterly harmonious in their entire beings, like glorious statues in their utter perfection but so full of mighty life and movement, All glorious and all harmonious. All radiating beauty. All of brilliant, radiant LIGHT.

Jesus, seated upon His throne, shone forth glorious rays or rather lights that shot forth as rays. These lights shooting forth were continuously round about His glorious head. Jesus spoke to me explaining things but later I was not enabled to recall what He had said. Though at one time He said that all these things He would give me to recall when the right time came. Then He told me to look.

As I did so, I saw much further off in the distance from me the same awesome manifestation of Christ in His great WRATH. He that was seated upon the throne of His glory was showing me Himself and I knew that the two manifestations were but one and the same, for I could fully sense and understand the total identification. I felt no fear for I was fully secured by this Christ near above me that reassured me by the radiance of His love and goodness. He seemed to flow out to me in a continuous flow, thus protecting me. I felt peace, love, security and interior harmony far superior than I had ever experienced even in the manifestations of Him in the lower spheres of glory.

Looking at this Christ, I again saw Him mounted upon this great ball of terrible fire which increased in fury and size until it utterly enveloped Him and even seemed to consume Him, but at the same time it did not consume Him. This took place not all at once, but as it were in a process of time and before it fully enveloped Him. I saw Him throw something very great and brilliant to the mighty angels waiting below Him in eager expectancy. When He threw this to them, they caught it and with extreme care and keenest interest rose up and formed a guardian circle about it, taking greatest care of it while His fire and wrath fully enveloped Him. I saw what it was that He threw to them but I was not given to recall what it was afterward. These guarding angels were very similar to the warrior angels I saw previously, but this time they were not participating in His fury and were not in any aspect prepared for war. They were of the same powerful and mighty class who were all set to maintain careful guard over this treasure.

Chapter 4

The Treasure Chest

The afternoon of the 24th of August when I went to prayer, there was a long battle with indifference. At last I became incensed and gathering my determinations, began to really draw near to Him and worship Him in spirit and in truth. Suddenly, I was carried in spirit to the celestial regions and I heard the voice of Jesus speaking to me but I could not see His person. He was hidden from my view. Then He told me that although I could not see His person, He was present there just the same. I was so very conscious that He really and truly was there in Person and Presence, but all the while He remained hidden or perhaps I should say, semi-hidden from my view: for I felt the same glorious glow of His love, peace, joy and security, as well as the sweet reverence of that Person to the same degree as at all other times. Also everything had that same luster and glow and brilliance that always accompanies Him. In fact. I felt all the wonders and glories of His Presence to an even more marked degree than at any time hitherto. He went on speaking to me but nothing else was I permitted to recall afterward.

I saw that the angelic beings were of very high degree and of immense stature. They were of the class and kind seen before and pertained to this higher sphere that were marked by great perfection. They were entirely occupied in the task to which they were set. It seemed that they were especially created for such tasks. In fact, all the angelic beings seemed to be made for just such tasks as they were given or else they so adapted themselves by some kinds of changes in their beings.

They were all standing guard over a great chest like a jewel case of precious value. This chest was immense to me, but to them it was of a normal size. It was blazing in brilliancy and was made of that beautiful but strange material I have often seen there like transparent crystal gold that has life and light in itself. It was most beautifully carved and worked as though there were jewels of gold all over it. It was totally closed so that I could neither see or know what was inside of it. Inlaid over it were most gorgeous blazing jewels—rare gems of great size. It blazed forth light as if incandescent. I marveled much to behold it in its unique and wondrous beauty. This chest was very zealously guarded by these great beings who stood there totally immobile. I knew that this was their only task and that they were joyful in doing just that.

Jesus spoke to me after a long time of beholding this great chest in much wonder, and He said that I could not see nor know what was inside as yet, but that I would know that it was to be mine in future times and would be carefully guarded and kept for me until that time.

A Symphony of Motion

Entering into the spirit this afternoon, I found myself in a unique place very distinct from other times in that it was a place all enclosed with its outside limits clearly visible and well defined though at the same time giving an idea of transparency. It was filled with an endearing sweetness like the body of something that was in motion.

Within this place there were a multitude of angelic beings of a kind and class, the highest yet seen. They were most marked by a high, pure perfection beyond words to convey any idea at all of the blazing purity of their perfection. They were so exceedingly brilliant with their garments of living cloth of purest celestial light. They were beautiful in extreme, very lovely and attractive. Within this place, they were all there in front of Jesus. And oh, how can I describe HIM? All the angels and I were all floating in this place but Jesus was seated upon His throne. There proceeded forth from His Person strong, powerful currents that infused all present. They were currents of mighty LOVE, adoration and peace, so glorious that it seemed as though one were actually participating of His very own divine being. There also proceeded forth from Him strange pulsing waves or undulations, rhythmic movements so gloriously harmonious and smooth and sweet. Their rhythm was not harsh nor rapid, but almost slow and in extreme harmony. It was not like a dance, but rather strong undulations which carried us and of which we became a part. It was like a great symphony of movement of adoration. All of us floated continuously in this harmonic motion of adoration which was not tiring but most inspiring.

I was given to understand that all of these waves of motion and these powerful invasions of purest celestial love and peace not only proceeded forth from Him, but were a very part of Himself. He was infusing all the beings present and myself also, with His own graces and virtues of love, peace and adoration. He was bringing forth all of this from His own person and it was emanating and filling the whole great place in which we were.

Jesus Himself was in the same glory, majesty and celestial beauty as mentioned before and this time there was no other marked change in the manifestation of Himself other than already stated. As I found myself in the midst of these beings so great and so important, I could no longer see myself at all, not even my tiny self, but it was as if I did not exist at all. They were the only things visible, and I myself had entirely disappeared.

His Greater Love

As I was in prayer the next afternoon, I found myself with a great longing and petition in my heart to be able to once again enter into the sweet, tender, caressing love of Jesus as I had been able to experience in the presence of Jesus and the angels in the lower sphere when both He and the angels were so much more human like. This was a great longing in my heart, for there was a quality in His love in the higher realms and celestial spheres that I had missed. I could not feel this tender sweetness nor the intimacy in this so much higher sphere. Neither could I draw so near nor be intimately closed nor be taken up in His arms like He did many times before. Rather, the love of Jesus and the angels in this higher sphere was so much stronger, almost violent or fierce in its great burning, but not sweet and tender as before.

Suddenly I found myself in the Spirit in a place all filled with light and there I saw Jesus, high and suspended upon His throne of high glory. There were only two angelic beings with Him. One stood on one side, the other on the other. These two angelic guards I have seen every time I have seen Him upon His throne. They seem to be like throne guards. Even much higher than the others, they appear very different from the other angelic beings. They are much more glorious and are most marked by their perfections so pure and total as to be almost frightening. Yet with all their greatness, they appeared far inferior to Jesus, Himself.

Jesus allowed me once again to see His wounds, but they were not like the ugly wounds seen on Him in the inferior plane. They were like most glorious jewels or lustrous gems that He gloried in. He, Himself, was tremendously bright with celestial light that far outshines our poor little sun. So sublime, so huge in size, sending forth great rays of purest light, He was so high I could not draw very near unto Him. He spoke to me telling me that I could not draw very near to Him because I could neither resist nor endure to be any nearer in my present state. He also said, “You may see me and you shall not fear. It is being prepared for you to be able to come up higher.” Then He spoke again saying that my lack of feeling the sweetness and tenderness in His love was because His love was now too great and powerful, and that His love for me, I could not comprehend because it was far too great for my limited ability to understand. He said that if He would make His love very small and reduce it to the smallest size, then I could feel it and receive it in a manner that would satisfy my longing, for I had not yet been given the faculties to be able to understand His higher love.

Then there proceeded forth from Him like a cloud of very resplendent substance, as He caused His love to diminish down to my size of comprehension. This cloud came unto me enveloping me and I felt like I was inside a flask of butter and honey. Oh, how it satisfied my longings. What sweetness. What delicate smoothness. What tenderness and what caressing of my inner being. I could fill to overflowing all my thirstings for this love so much more understandable. But at the same time, I recognized that His other love on the higher plane was something so superior that it fully surpassed my ability to absorb, understand or even fill up my thirst. At the same time, I was also given to understand that His higher, greater love had also included this lower quality of His love that I now enjoyed. But in the fierceness and greatness of it, I had not been able to discern this quality in it before.

A Living Being Filled with Eyes

The next afternoon in prayer, I was again taken into the Spirit and found myself in the same place as the time before. There was Jesus, high upon His throne, suspended in the heights of heaven, and there, too, were His angelic guardians, one on each side, strange beings of great glory, compared to the other angels of that sphere. The first thing I was made to notice was the deep sweetness of His love now flowing unto me. This time, He did not diminish His great love, but I felt this quality sweet and tender in the midst of all the other great qualities of this, His higher love. It was flowing forth from Him unto me and it drew me towards Him. Jesus seated above me upon the throne then directed me to look to a place a ways distant from where He sat. There I saw still another manifestation of Himself.

He sat upon the throne in a high state of glory, beauty, harmony, peace and great height of majesty, very pacific and in a state of total rest. Just as the other manifestation which He showed me of Himself had been in a state of controlled violence. It was the same as when I saw Him in wrath and great fury, but now the wrath and fury were in a state of control, as it were. It was a state of wrath, but controlled and not allowed out of prescribed limitations. He was filled with blazing light and incandescent brilliance. He was fighting with a sea of waters which were extremely stormy, taking dominion over them with the words of pure power that He spoke forth from His mouth. They were waters that were very furious and very much upraised in violence, but He forced them to be quiet. He forced them to so yield to His word until there was no more fighting nor storm in them and they were in a great state of peace.

When He had brought them under His control and into a state of peace, there appeared a living being with wings. It was neither angel nor human. It had the appearance of some strange animal. Jesus, upon the throne above me, told me to look again closely and when I looked closely, I saw its head full of eyes, and it began to fly around the head of Christ who had been fighting with the waters in a state of controlled wrath. This living being full of peace radiated peace in a great manner. Then this Christ who had been fighting with the furious waters returned to a state of peace, and there was great peace in all parts thereafter.

The Torches

The next afternoon I could not feel the presence of God in prayer, and so I prayed on in dearth and the heavens seemed closed above me. Not being able to enter into the Spirit, nor into His presence, I just sat there and began to chat with Jesus. Ere I knew it, I found myself in Spirit. I was in a great place that was entirely empty. Then there began to open up as if it were a curtain made out of cloudy material, and I saw Jesus high and lifted up and in an attitude of REIGNING. At His side were His two guardian angelic beings, fearful in their perfections. They had no wings nor did I see them in movement.

Christ, reigning in great power, was tremendously glorious. His person appeared to be like gold filled with fire, refulgent and radiating light in intense brilliancy. His eyes were very penetrating and like blazing fires from which reflected powerful rays. There proceeded from Him much, much love. It seemed to radiate from His hands. His feet and from His whole body. His whole person was as a halo of most refulgent glory-light. His wounds scintillated from the beauty of their brilliancy. Oh, He was so glorious, so beautiful and so high that His glory seemed to fill all of space. Below Him was a group of angels to which He directed my gaze. These angels were carefully guarding great, blazing torches, each one huge like a mighty furnace. These angels were identical one to another, clothed in garments of light and very beautiful. They were immobile yet they had their wings fully extended, poised and ready for instant flight, ready to carry those torches to where He would give the word of command. They were looking at Jesus and just waiting to go into instant action at His word. It is most amazing the obedience, the perfect order, the total harmony of all things in the heavenly world.

The fire of those torches was most distinct from other fires, for it was not destructive. It was not like the fires of wrath which were with Christ in His wrath. That other fire had disturbed me and caused me dread. But the fire in the torches was living but not destructive. Rather, it was kind, benign, attractive, beautiful and full of blessing.

The Fiery Sea

The next afternoon, I again entered into the Spirit and saw Jesus high and lifted up upon His throne, with His guards of perfection and majesty by His side. In this sphere, all things are suspended; nothing rests on anything below it. All things seem to be lifted up by themselves by the very power inherent within them. His throne was suspended over a sea of glass made of a substance like water.

It was a living substance full of glory light unlike any other waters I have seen in that world. Neither was it like glass. Its surface was made like a mirror in polished smoothness. And it was in great stillness and a state of total rest.

Below the sea of crystal water there were many angels, the sea itself being suspended and the angels totally below it. These angelic beings were very beautiful and of much power. They were all adoring and worshiping the One who was seated upon the throne, ceasing not in their worship from below the sea.

All around the throne and in the sea and all around it there was most glorious, living fire, very real and of great beauty. I beheld it, wondering especially how the fire could burn so brightly even within the waters. The bright, radiant flames reached up to a great height, but this fire was not destructive nor devouring nor fearful, rather it was most attractive, kindly and inviting.

All around the head of Christ were most intense, brilliant lights as if they were a crown. It looked as if it might have been the marks of the wounds made by His crown of thorns, though of this. I could not be certain. This crown of lights was like bright, lighted, living diamonds which circled His head and was most similar to the jewel-like lights of His other wounds of which I could be more sure.

The angelic beings who were below the sea of crystal waters mixed with the living fire were of the same class as those who guarded the torches seen the day before. They also had wings and continued to worship.

The Fountain of Living Waters

There were many distractions this afternoon and it was most difficult to enter into His presence. Finally, I was enabled to enter and was taken again into the realms of the Spirit. I first saw Jesus high and lifted up with His two sentinels by His side in their beauty of perfections. His appearance was as at former times when I have seen Him seated high and suspended upon His throne. There emanated forth from Him visible love like a bright cloud that was living and of tangible substance. It was powerful and glorious, smooth and sweet. It enveloped the two sentinel angels who accompanied me one at each side. It was the first time I have seen my guardian angels. Their appearance was quite distinct from the other angels and they were especially filled with love, as if they were beings made especially to love. They had wings and were clothed with garments of light of the material so often seen there. They were of the order of beings that pertained to this sphere but seemed somehow more approachable, more intimate than others of this realm. It seems that all angelic beings are made with special characteristics to fit them for the special tasks to which they belong. There were many distinctions yet there were other characteristics that made them equal in the sphere to which they belonged.

Jesus spoke to me very tenderly telling me that He loved me and that I need not fear, for His eyes were placed upon me and that I should have full confidence in Him. He also told me that all the things I had seen and would yet to be given to see I must faithfully tell.

In obedience to His command I looked and saw a group of angels lifted up in the heavens upholding a great, golden fountain of purest crystal gold radiating light in great brilliance and with marvelous beauty. In this tremendous fountain I saw living waters of life pure as finest crystal. The water in this fountain was fully distinct from all other water, nor was it like the water seen in the crystal sea. Most filled with glory light it showed marked evidence of having life as well as light in itself.

The angels holding this fountain were also in an attitude of awaiting a command like those who were waiting to carry forth their torches. These were awaiting His command with great attention, all poised and ready to pour out these abundant living waters of blessing from this immense fountain.

Chapter 5

The Temple and the Cloud

The next afternoon I was very tired and sleepy and could not get into prayer at all, so I asked the Lord to take away my sleepiness which He did and then I was taken into the Spirit. I found myself in a structure of tremendous beauty of a size immense even in the standards of the heavenly spheres where all things are of such magnitude unimaginable to the human mind. Its structure and architecture was gloriously beautiful, scintillatingly brilliant and vibrant with living life and it was in perfect order. Its walls were of this crystal gold that shined with light in itself. All of its walls and its high-arched ceiling above was covered with living angelic beings set there like living jewels as if they were encrusted there for its adornment. They did not move at all but were beings that emanated love and were of especial beauty to adorn this great temple.

Jesus was there in glory of utmost grandeur. He was of refulgent gold which seemed to be filled with fire and burning and which emanated marvelous brilliancy of light. His eyes were of intense brilliancy and were most penetrating like burning fires. I found myself very near unto Him. He literally covered me but I do not know how He covered me. I felt so fully and beautifully covered with His very own self, so loved, so secure, so filled with peace and well-being that I never wanted to move away from that place. It was pure luxury, pure pleasure, pure beauty to be so covered by Him.

This time there were with Jesus many of those strange beings of perfection such as the two who always are with Jesus when He is upon His throne. My, what greatness and might those beings manifested! They were beautiful in their glory and most resplendent. This time Christ was standing in all of His great majesty and glory so fully refulgent and so filled with thunderings and strange, great sounds like an earthquake.

He bade me look and as I looked to the farther end of that vast temple there in still another room I saw a tremendous cloud of glory huge in size and terribly unquiet. In constant movement it ever enveloped and enfolded itself. This cloud LIVED with its own tremendous LIFE. But even more strange I knew—without knowing how I knew— that this great cloud was identified with the glorious Christ who was at my side. They were united. They were One. Fully identified they were as if fully connected one with the other. All of us had to be protected from this tremendous Glory Cloud. Christ not only covered me but all the angelic beings so that we could witness this tremendous manifestation of this high Glory Cloud in the interior part of this temple. It was too terrible and too glorious to behold and live. Not even the highest angels could behold this without being protected and covered. However, I felt not the slightest fear though I felt greatly startled and in great wonder. This sight was a mighty impact to every sense leaving a most reverent dread and dazing, almost as if in a state of shock. But there was no unpleasantness of pain or fear for I was so covered and protected by mighty love and sweetest peace that I could not be in fear because of what I was beholding.

The Waterfalls

I was in much conflict of thoughts on this day the first of September with good thoughts of Him and evil thoughts of the world. A voice spoke to me saying. “Yield your thoughts to me.” Instantly, even before I had time to reflect upon that voice there arose up within me a great rejection of that voice. Then I knew that it was the voice of the enemy. He fled and I was immediately in the Spirit.

I saw before me a mighty curtain of water falling before me in living, brilliant glory. The water in this falling curtain was somewhat like the water in the rain and in the fountain though still with different characteristics. It was radiating light in all directions, falling in an interminable torrent. There was neither foam nor streamers of water but rather a solid curtain.

Far above where the great water torrent originated, I saw a mighty cross made of purest LIGHT exceedingly brilliant like one immense jewel of pure light. Still farther above the Cross of Light was Jesus so enveloped in a great glowing of radiant splendor of purest light that He was covered from being directly seen.

At either extreme of the curtain of water were many, many angels all in perfect rank and ready to march. They were not marching but were all in readiness as if awaiting orders. They were the kind of angels like those guardian angels of special love that accompanied me at other times.

Jesus spoke to me saying, “These waters are for My people and very near is the day when these waters of blessing shall flow out upon them, not as they do now—with but moments of blessing—but in such abundance that my people shall live continually in them.”

The All-seeing Eye

When I entered into the realms of the Spirit Jesus began to speak to me telling me that I would be given other times of visions. (This was in answer to my unspoken question as to the continuance of these things.) In this sphere the things I want to say are immediately read while they are still thoughts, as if I were already speaking. The angels also know the thoughts that I or they desire to communicate without

any need for audible expression. However, Jesus speaks in many ways. He told me that I need not fear after speaking with Him, for I have such fear of telling afterward any of these things to anyone.

Then He showed me in another place a great eye of a tremendous size. It was moving, filled with life and emitted great powerful rays that seemed frightfully penetrating. On each side of that eye there was a great wing also of immense size. United with those wings and so numerous as to fully cover them were great angels. Although I saw these things at quite a distance from where I was yet I was so cognizant of the unity and the full identification there was between the eye with its wings and Jesus who was at my side showing me these things. They were one and the same. It was the eye of Christ but in a sphere or manifestation so much higher and greater, that brought down to be seen in this sphere, He could only show a part of Himself at a time.

The eye gave the impression of being all-prevailing and REIGNING over all, even as Christ seated upon His throne was reigning over all. This eye was so terribly penetrating in its great rays that it would destroy by itself, so I was given to know that the wings were to COVER even as the eye was to discover. The wings were given to cover so that there would be NO HURT. It was a fearful sight and I would have feared violently but I felt so covered that I was not afraid.

The Reservoir of Blood

After a great effort to get into His Presence in prayer (for it seemed there was much battle from the enemy) I was suddenly transported in the Spirit and was there with Him. Before He showed me aught I began to talk with Him. When I asked Him why the enemy was allowed to attack us so He answered. ‘‘Those of My people who are truly My subjects and are under My control, those who fear Me and obey Me, are always surrounded by an army of My angels. The hosts of the enemy come in with great noise and much shouting and distractions. By their voices and threatenings and lies they try to frighten and get the attention of those who are within this circle. But they cannot ever pass through it to do any harm. When they are successful in making such a din and are shouting most continuously with great, noisy voices, and when the person within the circle becomes overmuch frightened My angels turn around and chase those dark spirits away at great speed and dispatch.”

He also said that those of His people who are under His reign and truly subject to His kingship, all of their problems are His problems. All of their enemies are His enemies and He would take charge of all such things. He would fight with those enemies of His and theirs and He would be responsible to solve such problems. And for this reason such ones of His need never be fearful nor afraid.

After this I was taken still farther into the spirit world and saw Jesus standing. He was exceedingly lovely and manifested LOVE in exceeding abundance. He was dressed in living light so utterly beautiful that I feel it spoils it to even try to tell about it. He looked at me and spoke with utmost tenderness and such sweetness in His voice and His face. At His side were those perfect ones and I could see them a little more closely. Their glory and perfection was dazzling in itself yet seemed pale beside the exceeding brightness of the Savior Himself.

He told me to look, and looking I saw an enormous tank or reservoir covered with a great lid and sealed so that none could look within. It was of golden crystal that living material and outside it was intricately carved and encrusted with living, radiant stones of great beauty. It looked like an enormous jewel.

This tank-like reservoir was guarded by a great multitude of angelic beings. They were angels of high order and of much power and of great stature. All of them were very glorious and were clothed with garments of purest light. Everything shone so brightly with such holy purity. All of these beings had their wings fully extended, poised and ready for flight and action. They were guarding this great reservoir with great diligence and holy zeal and were very active in this task.

Jesus spoke and His voice was like a living, visible sound of great enormity. He directed His voice to the cover of that reservoir. His voice broke the lid that was sealed and the seal itself. I was carried in the Spirit to look inside that enormous reservoir. I saw that it was filled with BLOOD and I understood that it was Jesus’ own blood and that it was full of much LIFE.

Then I was taken the second time to look within this great reservoir. This time the blood was now so different and so changed. Now it was gloriously filled with great radiant LIGHT and shone much. The more I looked the more the life in it seemed to be much increased. This enormous quantity of blood was about to be out-poured by those angels and I was given to watch until it was almost to the point of spilling forth its vast flood.

Chapter 6

The Weapons of Jesus

It was the afternoon of the fourth of September that I found much opposition to entering into His Presence in prayer. There was much inner distraction. Opposing negative thoughts bothered me. But as I pressed on in prayer, I was suddenly there in the spirit realms. Jesus was there before me and this time there were a number of those perfect ones who are always with Him. I saw Him with great clarity and He was most lovely. That which was most outstanding were the brilliant lights that were round about His head which seemed to actually be a part of Him. They were very brilliant and shone forth in many most beautiful rays of purest celestial light, so different from our light that it seemed to have substance also.

His body of burning, blazing gold was like the clearest, purest crystal. All of His wounds from His passion shone with exceeding brilliancy and beauty. Oh. such beauty is impossible to convey and it hurts me to even try for I seem to bungle and spoil it even to try to describe it.

His face showed great anger at His enemies. From His person He shot forth great quantities of a terrible weapon. These weapons were like shafts of burning gold like His own person and they were armed with a multitude of sharp, terrible points. These weapons were of great size and of great quantity. He directed them with much anger against His enemies who were invisible to me.

After this He completely changed His countenance and with great-est love and tenderness began to speak to me. Although He spoke a long while of many things, I am not permitted to recall any of them. Then I was allowed to just stay there with Him and bask in the glorious wonder of His matchless person.

The Fire and the Cloud of Glory

I was transported into those regions by the Spirit and I saw Jesus walking. As He walked a great, consuming fire broke forth where He stepped. This was all covered by a great glowing like a veil of light. This fire was a great fire and erupted immediately in a voracious flame as He walked. It was not a kindly, inviting fire but a consuming, destructive fire.

Then I was transported within a great building or edifice which was not shown to me in the same clarity as before but I felt that it was the same temple. There further back in the interior of this great edifice I saw that tremendous cloud of glory unfolding upon itself and in constant movement as if in constant agitation of some interior violence. It was very bright and full of flashes of lightning. Round about the cloud were high, strange beings guarding it. Jesus spoke to the cloud but I cannot remember what He said. Within that cloud I knew there was a Great Living Being. A voice from the cloud said that what had been promised unto Him—Jesus—was to be fulfilled. They spoke yet more but I cannot recall anything more that was said.

Suddenly the top of that immense edifice rolled back like a scroll and above in a still higher heavens millions upon millions of glorious angels appeared. They seemed absolutely numberless. In that instant with a tremendous voice and shout of TRIUMPH Jesus transformed Himself into such grandeur, such stature and glory, then ascended at great velocity to those higher regions. He was so highly exalted that I fail to find any words to describe it. All of this was accompanied by the sound of great rushings of powerful winds. There high above in the heavenlies this exalted Jesus took his seat upon a throne of tremendous magnificence and power. I tremble to call it to mind.

Building the Spiritual Temple

During prayer in the spirit I saw Jesus revealing Himself to me in special beauty. Immediately He directed me to look and I obeyed at once though I did not want to take my eyes off Him. (Up there no one would even think of disobeying Him, one just couldn’t.) As I looked I saw an immense dome all overlaid with living angels of glorious beauty who were there for its adornment. They were a very high order of angels and their beauty shone in many brilliant colors, all the colors I have ever seen. The perfection of these beings was outstanding. Even in that world where all things seem to be so perfect and so pure, still some seem more so than others. The beings

who filled the ceiling of this vast dome were in the attitude of being on guard.

Below this dome I saw a vast multitude of angels working like stone masons. Although they were working there was no debris of any kind. They were building a building of stone. These working angels were glorious beings pertaining to this sphere but were not as perfect nor beautiful as those who were high up in the ceiling.

Each working angel brought in his hands a beautiful stone which he most carefully and tenderly handled. Each stone was living, so bright and shining and so filled with life in itself. They were unlike the other stones I had seen up there. There were no tools nor any sound of tools being used. The angels brought these living stones of pure crystal gold that shone and had visible life in themselves. Each angel had one stone only and seemingly once his was laid he did not go out seeking another one. Christ was carefully watching the building.

Nearby there was a fountain of water—a strange, heavy water. Though liquid it was very dense. It appeared to be like liquid trans-parent gold. It shone with beautiful light and also had life in itself. Taking this special water with them and immersing the living stones in it and covering them thoroughly they placed the living stones in the building. Having placed the stone that was in their charge, they made way for another angel to place his living stone in the house.

Jesus spoke reading my thoughts of astonishment at seeing these strange things and angels working like stone masons. He told me that it was true what I had seen and that it was a real house they were carefully building and not just an illusion of mine.

The Cloud of Light

After a long battle of prayer I was again permitted to meet with Him, suddenly finding myself with Him seated before me. His visage was of great kindness and glory and His face was so filled with beauty that I was overwhelmed. It seemed to be of one tremendous jewel composed of many precious gems each more glorious and beautiful, each distinct and each scintillating and radiating a glory light of its own distinction. It was pure beauty. He spoke to me telling me not to be afraid for I was in His house in the heavens. There were many high and glorious angelic beings there of a very high order. His two sentinels or guards—the perfect ones—were standing by His side.

All of those angels present began to draw near to Christ with great reverence, their hearts being open and exposed before Him. The hearts of these angels seemed like living-stones, beautiful in the extreme, each one totally different from the other in color, form and size. They drew near to Him prostrating themselves before Him in perfect order and file. It appeared to be like a ceremony, so orderly was it all done.

While they were all prostrated with open hearts before Him a powerful cloud of LOVE and POWER emanated forth from Christ. It was very shining, smooth and most visible almost like a veil of glory light. It covered all of the angels before Him and seemed to be supplying or recharging them with something very necessary, very desirable and very powerful.

While this was taking place I found myself in a refuge of pure love. It was very tender and sweet and I felt fully covered and protected. When I left there the angels were still enveloped by that wondrous cloud that was coming forth continuously from the Person of Jesus.

The Furnace of Fire

After many interruptions I was able to enter into prayer. I found myself in a place that seemed like a furnace all filled with fire. It was not an immense place compared to the temple for instance, but still it was quite large. These flames were great flames of love, pure, burning love. It was a good and not a bad fire. It was not destructive nor did it consume but it burned most vehemently. Within this furnace of fire I saw Christ. He was revealed there in great beauty and in an attitude of much joy. His aspect was of living-crystal gold burning and radiant with fire. Within this place with its brilliance of light and glory Jesus seemed more beautiful than ever. In fact each time I see Him He seems more beautiful.

There were many angels present of the type who are given to guard His elect ones on the earth. Each had in his hands a living stone, each stone differing from the other except that all showed poor luster and brilliance for such a glorious place as they were in. The angels were bringing their living stones into this furnace of love-fire and leaving them there for a while. As I watched them in this great burning furnace of love the living stones began to be transformed. They took on a luster and beauty, a glory and a radiant light until they were stones of utmost beauty. The angels watched this process of the fire with signs of much manifested joy. Jesus also was watching these stones being transformed with much happiness. Apparently there was not a large quantity or number of such stones being brought into this furnace and I wondered much.

The Multi-Colored Glory

On the afternoon of the 18th of September I was taken into the Spirit and there I saw Jesus. The sight of His beauty and His grandeur and the greatness of His love made a great impact upon me. I felt great love flowing out of me towards Him. He told me to look and when I looked I saw HIM high and suspended against a high dome of an immense place. His face was more filled with love than I had ever seen before. I was filled with inward commotion and astonished and the impact left me dumb with shock and amazement. His vestments emanated a glory impossible to describe. They were like tremendous multicolored rays that vibrated. The whole was filled with these gorgeous rays of such dazzling beauty, colors all so harmoniously moving, all so integrated, so harmonized, colors seen and many never before either seen or imagined. Strong, vibrant colors and clear shining pastels and all a glory that defies any pale word of man to tell. All radiated exceeding abundance of love, joy and happiness. Each ray was many-colored and was pulsating and vibrating and there were numberless rays that shone forth in all directions.

As my sight was directed still lower down I saw a multitude of angels all radiating love. Their garments received and re-radiated these beautiful glory rays of such rare beauty. They so re-radiated these rays that they seemed like small miniatures of Him.

These angels were working most zealously. I looked more closely and saw that they were preparing the utensils, cutlery and all things necessary for a banquet. They were polishing and working most actively in their task to have all in readiness. I was allowed to stay there for a long while just absorbing that beauty. I never wanted to come back to earth again, but I never dared to ask Him again, for once when I had asked Him He rebuked me asking why I thought He had so wonderfully healed and delivered me if He had wanted to take me to heaven now. So I said nothing further about staying but I was there a long while.

The Narrow Passageway

When He took me into the Spirit I heard Him call and say, “You can pass on ahead.” I found myself in an exceedingly narrow hall or passage way which was very high. In the middle of this passage there were thousands of angels. But the passage was so narrow that I felt greatly oppressed and pressed in by the walls thereof. Soon, however. I passed through it rapidly and found myself in front of two large doors which were immense in size and very high as well as wide. They were made of shining, transparent gold and were most beautiful. The angels opened these doors before me and I went on inside at His invitation.

As soon as I entered Jesus spoke to telling me not to look upon Him for He desired to hide Himself from my view. He then covered Himself with a multitude of angels. But at the same time He filled the place with His glorious presence and it reflected Him from every side and angle. In this place it seemed as if I had fallen to the floor. I felt great dread but He spoke to me telling me not to fear.

This place was extremely beautiful and very great in size. I felt a great heat within this place as if it were heated in a furnace of fire. The glory and beauty emanating forth from Him and reflecting forth from His hiding place made the place to be exceedingly filled with His glory. It was like the reflections from a most dreadful fire, too great to behold and I could not help feeling great dread.

Within me I felt pain and sadness because I could no longer go unto Him as before. His glory and splendor were so great that I could no longer come unto Him. But He spoke to me saying, “You must not feel this sadness and pain, for you will shortly be fully reconciled and will be perfectly satisfied afterward.”

Then He opened as it were a door, or hole, or aperture before me and I found myself still in another place. It, too, was very beautiful. The angels in there were as those angels of purest, divine love that I had seen before. There were many of them and they were working most diligently but I could not see what they were doing.

Jesus spoke, explaining that these were working and preparing and arranging, and that which they were preparing was myself, preparing me so that I could come into this place. After they had finished I would be enabled to come on in and I would feel very comforted and in full conformity.

Chapter 7

Inside the Glory Cloud

Again I was transported to the regions of light. The first thing I saw were tremendous celestial beings whose faces were like brilliant, shining gems of marvelous luster and beauty. They were in a place that was sealed hermetically as inside of a giant safe of great size and strength. The place was totally filled with light and peace, and so resplendent as to seem incandescent. These great celestial beings gave the impression of the highest order yet seen and of tremendous power. These great beings were encircling Christ. They began to open up an aperture in the circle and ranks to where Christ was enclosed by them.

When they did this a ray of strange power came out from Him and struck me with great force and knocked me down. I felt like it entered into me. As I recovered my senses I realized that these angels were waiting for this to take place. It seemed as if that ray left something in me, as if something that had been lacking was now placed within.

I looked to see Jesus but I did not see Him in person. Instead I saw within the place where these great powers, stupendous and even dreadful, were guarding THE CLOUD OF GLORY. It was truly dreadful and awesome and filled me with astonishment and wonder. This time it seemed all transparent and I could see into the very center of it. Within the cloud was all power and might in great violence and tremendous activity. I seemed to be looking into pure POWER in constant violence of movement. As if one were enabled to look deep into the heart of a great volcano and see all the fire and violence in that boiling mass with the lava being transparent. Thus it seemed to look into this stupendous cloud of pure force and power, full of fire and pressure, rays and lightnings.

After this Jesus began to speak to me of many things which I could not remember nor recall afterward. Then He told me that when I returned to the terrestrial world only a part of me returned; my spirit stayed there in His world with Him. The part that returned to earthly life could not return with all things seen and heard up there because my natural, earthly life could not stand them. Such things were too high to take back. But that my spirit could receive and remember and understand all these things. And that I must not be perturbed nor frightened at not being able to recall so many things seen and heard for this reason. He also said that I must not feel afflicted nor concerned at not being able to find proper expression for the heavenly things He gave me to remember because the heavenly things are unsay-able and inexpressible upon earth. That earthly things can only faintly portray the heavenly things. That many things that my spirit could receive, understand, experiment and remember, my natural mind could neither receive nor understand nor my natural body remain alive with such experiences.

Touching the Earth

Because I was suffering with a headache and had many interruptions it was difficult to enter into His presence. When I asked Him to take away the pain so that I could pray He did so and then took me away into the Spirit.

I saw that I was in a place all enclosed and very securely sheltered where there were high and lustrous angels. The most outstanding thing was that their faces and bodies were composed of great living gems of many colors. Their whole beings were of most high glory and I could not help but be amazed at the exceeding wonder of them.

Then these angels came to me and did something I cannot understand nor explain, as if they brought something from Jesus unto me and began operating upon me. They opened me up and put something within me. This was not at all a pleasant feeling but neither was it painful. It seemed to complete something that was formerly lacking.

Then Jesus spoke and said, "You may go now.” And I felt something push me very strongly towards Him. When He said, "Look” I looked but didn’t see anything. After He said, "Touch,” I reached forth and touched something which gave me a shock of strange surprise and wonder for I had touched terrestrial earth—just plain earth from our own world. I threw it down immediately. Then He spoke again telling me once again to touch. Immediately it was no longer plain earth but had become living beings which were neither animals nor angels.

He then led me from place to place, to so many places that I lost track and could not count them. Time after time He took me to a place and said, “Touch.” As I did so I found I was touching plain earth. But when He told me to touch again, the earth became living beings. I wondered greatly how our terrestrial earth could be in a place such as this. I was most perplexed and disturbed in my mind and wondered what it all meant.

The Plants and Their Angels

I was quite irritated by a skin allergy that day but was finally enabled to push that aside and enter into the other world. I saw Jesus with many, many angels. He was very near to me and I was at His side. He was manifested to me in the same way as already described and His ineffable beauty and love infused my whole being. His angels were each one identical to the other and seemed to be much like those seen before as guardian angels. They were all in a special field and were standing in order in rank and file and at attention. They were all awaiting an order from Him to immediately begin their task.

Jesus told me to look and as I looked I beheld a field all white and it was raining upon that field. Jesus spoke to me saying that this would be the LAST TIME THAT IT WOULD RAIN upon this field. That He had at times sent other rains but that now this was the very last rain. That which had sprung forth into life had sprung forth to life. And that which had not sprung forth into life would not spring forth. Such ones would die. I looked and the field was full of small plants. He further said that when this rain terminated He would send forth His angels to each plant. An angel to each plant. The plants that did not have an angel appointed to it would not have life and would die. That although there were many plants that would appear to have life, yet not having an angel appointed to it it would die. That His angels would seek out each one his own plant and would take it and present it personally unto Him. These angels had cared for their plants most carefully and attentively and with much tender love. It was this final order to bring in their plant unto Jesus that these angels were now awaiting.

I was given to understand that this and other visions He had shown to me were directly connected with His final operations with men that He was about to bring forth unto a termination.

Sparks of Fire Light

I was quickly taken by the Spirit this day and was first given to converse with the Lord. He spoke to me and He was reading thoughts that I was not even thinking at that moment. He was answering thoughts that I had thought at other times and of which I was ashamed. Thoughts of fear, of wanting to escape far from all these things, of many doubts that troubled me and of the much lack of confidence and security that I so often feel. He spoke many things to me that I cannot remember but this I am given to recall.

He said concerning my doubts and lack of confidence as to the fulfillment especially of things said to me personally were not illusions nor imaginations but truth. He spoke emphatically almost scoldingly but very kindly. He said that these things would certainly come to pass for HE had commanded them to be and His orders would most certainly be fulfilled. Whether they appeared to be so or not they were so. He told me that the enemy would plant thoughts of fear and doubt in my mind but those were not thoughts originating out of my own heart for in my heart He had already planted faith and it was there and working. He spoke further saying that already He had perfected certain things in me, that it was already too late for anything to be changed for He had already accomplished it and it was finished now. that it only remained for the processes to bring it forth. (As once the seed is fully matured it already has in itself the full plant and fruit of the future tree and only awaits the process of growth to bring forth its full fruition.) If it did not appear to be all true now, there were processes yet to come. But that it was already so for He had already accomplished His word and spoken His orders and given His commands and SUCH THINGS WOULD OF ALL SURELY COME TO PASS. Even though the enemy would take advantage of appearances and the yet unfulfilled processing in order to plant troubling thoughts in the natural mind. But that in spite of this, things spoken and already fulfilled with the faith He had already planted within the heart, would most certainly be fulfilled.

After this unusually lengthy conversation with me He said to look and as I did so I saw a sight that filled me with great dread. He told me not to fear and His words took away the fright but still I felt much awe. I knew He was showing me yet further revelations of Himself but it was so strange that I could not see His form. It looked as if a sun was so big and close that it filled the whole visible sky. So was this upon which my eyes were now looking. From a great center there were going forth huge, powerful and lengthy sparks of fire and light co-mingled. It was neither light alone nor was it fire alone. It was intensely bright and it was in great violence of movement as if it were a great storm. This fire had the appearance of being benign and not a destructive force. This all had great power and might and the shooting forth of this fire mixed with celestial light was continuous all the while. I saw also that there was great life. Each several emanation was filled with much life. These sparks as it were went forth at great velocity and were of such immense numbers that the sky was filled entirely.

I was then taken by the Spirit to another place and I again saw this manifestation of Him. Again all was the same save that from where I now looked I could see that these emanations of fire and light co-mingled were not shot forth haphazardly but were all directed. They were all going someplace. Yet I was not given to see where they were going. I felt that someway the vision yet lacked something but I was not given to see any more. It was a most awesome sight and I gazed long in the utter brilliance of this mighty manifestation of Him in such glorious grandeur and greatness so vast as to pass comprehension entirely. I was most astonished and was in much wonder. Nor did He explain it to me.

Chapter 8

Coming Empowering

As I entered into prayer I was very filled with fear because pastor had asked me to ask the Lord to give more light and understanding upon last night's revelation. This always makes me very fearful and nervous, for it is a fearful thing to risk offending Him and I was afraid. I was given to enter into the Spirit world and there He first began to speak to me. He told me not to fear because of my questions. Then in a strong admonition but not scolding, firm yet kind. He told me to have full confidence in His faithfulness. He had desired that these things take place in exactly that manner and if I did not understand something, that too was a part of His desire and according to His will in the matter. That I must remember that always His orders would be fulfilled in every smallest detail and that they would never be unfulfilled. Then He told me so tenderly that I was loved then comforted me much and gave me to feel more peace and security. He also told me that these things were not given in order to confuse me but to instruct me and to help me. Neither was He laughing at my ignorance but that He understood exactly how much I could understand and the rest would be made clear in its proper time.

Then He took me to the very place and showed me the very same heavenly manifestation as the night before in all its details. This time He explained it to me in this manner. These emanations of glorious and powerful fire co-mingled with light were the fulfilling of His Word that He had promised to certain of His people. That He had promised and faithfully given His Word that He would be giving forth this heavenly gift unto men. That it would be exactly as He had shown me. That each spark as it were was for a certain person. But that most of those sparks would not be received and would return back unto Himself. They would not be wasted nor wander around but would return. But that a few of His people would receive these special gifts and that He already knew this and also knew who they were. But that He would send forth these things upon the men to whom He had promised because He had promised and that He would keep His promise in every detail according to His great faithfulness. That these things were not yet accomplished nor were they yet brought to pass. But that in the very near future these things would be beginning and would be faithfully carried out. It would not be long. This caused me fear for I did not want to be one of those who were not ready or able to receive these special giftings of such glorious power and light for they were truly wonderful to behold and the sight filled me with marvelous wonder.

Fire, Blood and Wormwood

I was very tired after a day of much physical activity and felt very little desire of making the effort of getting into serious prayer. But knowing I had to because He was asking me to I was finally able to gather strength and determination and put aside all lethargy and all self-pity and move into obedience. After a while, ere I was aware of it. I found myself there with Him and He was talking to me.

First He told me not to fear then said, "You shall look upon that which I shall show you and you shall not be afraid. In spite of what you see you shall feel fully secure.” Then He told me that afterward I would find out that it was truth.

(Comment: Afterward she was shown a parallel passage in Rev. 8 and was greatly comforted for the telling of these things causes her much fear of being mistaken and much terror of bringing forth something wrong or some delusion. There is much hesitancy in telling them and only strict obedience causes her to bear with the difficulty and pain of telling the things that she sees.) She continues:

He also further told me that all of His beloved ones would see these things I was about to see when they took place and that I was not to fear. He also said that these things would be confirmed to me and made most sure.

Then He caused me to see Him in a side view. I did not see His face nor the front of Him but oh. the exceeding brightness of Him. I knew that He was in a greatly exalted state. He mostly hid Him-self from me in the brightness of His light that almost covered Him completely from my view. He was in another place from where I was and I felt covered and secure and protected as I am ever made to feel at times when there is great activity and exaltation that I am to look upon.

There were coming unto Him flying at great velocity upon their wings great multitudes of angels. (A multitude I have seen only once before but never so closely.) Multiplied thousands of these mighty, glorious and powerful celestial spirits of great magnitude, they seemed to be greatly like those perfect ones who ever accompany the Lord when I see Him. But these had wings and did fly upon their wings. And the glory of this sight was tremendous. They were all in battle formation, all in rank and file and kept perfect order in their flight. They appeared like a great army in heaven—the hosts of Christ Himself. They, too, were in a state of great exaltation.

Above the heads of these angels I saw the same flying beings that were not angels. They appeared like some strange animal-like being. But they were of great intelligence and their heads were filled with many eyes. They were in great numbers also. These were in appearance like the one such celestial living creature that I saw flying about the head of Christ when He was overcoming the great rebellious waters in a previous vision. These were of great size and they, too, were all in order and kept rank. However, this time they were not radiating peace as before. Neither were the angels radiating peace. To the contrary, they were radiating great fury. Their aspect and their visage was truly terrible and inspired great awe and dread in me. Even though I felt so protected and covered I still felt fear, though it was not a fear that brought torment or pain, rather a fear of great wonder.

As this mighty celestial army drew near to Christ all of them began to vibrate and be agitated in great violence of movement, shakings and movings as of nervousness if such were possible. There was no appearance here of harmony nor was there any harmony in their strong violent shakings. Their state was of an ever increasing measure of expectancy and of fury.

Then Christ shouted with a tremendous shout like some terrible roar of a gigantic lion that shook and reverberated mightily every-where and of terrible POWER. And He said, “THE DAY OF MY VENGEANCE HAS COME!” Upon saying this there seemed to take place a violent explosion of enormous size and power with terrible import. And He seemed to arise in the heavens and went into terrible, inexplicable activity within Himself that was beyond all words.

Then He began to draw forth from Himself great gushing torrents of blood and fire and bitter wormwood that fell as if in a huge cataract of these strange forces mixed together. Fire that was terrible, consuming and destructive and frightening. Blood in great quantities and great, dark wormwood that was oh, so very bitter.

As this took place I saw the Great Hosts of heaven still in perfect rank and order fly downward accompanying this great cataract and they flew with great velocity and with great fury upon them.

Jesus said to me that all of His beloved ones would surely see this sight even as I had seen it and the thing was certain. I was there a long while beholding this awesome event.

The Great Tree

The afternoon of September 20th I was again given to enter into that place in the Spirit. I was feeling much fear in relation to the coming week to be spent in Quilmes—my former home and place of much sorrow and sin. I feared that He might leave me abandoned, but first of all He spoke to me saying. "Fear not.” then reminded me of how He had ever been faithful to me during all my life since the very first moment I had entered into this world. His words to me were. “No one gave you a welcome nor loved you for you were an unwanted child. But in my world the angels rejoiced and watched over your birth in love. From that day forth I have carefully watched over you with great faithfulness and tender love. Even when you knew me not still I was faithful unto you. Now that you love me and greatly desire Me and know Me. shall I not be faithful unto you and carefully care for you and watch over you in love? Have confidence in my faithfulness," And thus He calmed all my fears and I felt secure. Faith again filled my heart.

Then He carried me into another place where there were an infinite number of the brightest rays of purest celestial light. These resplendent rays reflected in all directions and there were no shadows. Everything was literally bathed in light. All this light was radiating from His own person. By His side I again saw those two perfect ones who so frequently are seen with Him.

Then a celestial being carried me forward a ways and showed me that which looked like a tremendous tree. Great and very wide were its branches, yet it was not like any tree seen upon earth, for it was made of a great number of individual living stones all of various colors and of various shapes and sizes. All were living and radiant, like living gems so beautiful they were.

While I remained looking upon this great tree. I saw its stones begin to lose their brilliance and their luster. I understood that some-how the stones of this tree and the tree itself was sick inside. As I watched, it became sicker and sicker and began to seem like it was becoming rotten on the inside, though the outside still showed its same beauty save that it was no more filled with light. I wondered much how something in this realm could do anything like that. Jesus was watching this tree also and He was watching it in love waiting to see if it could heal itself. But instead it just became sicker and worse and more rotten inside till it seemed that this great tree must surely die and there was no more hope for it.

Then Jesus began to draw near unto that great dying tree. His presence began to reach out and cover it. From Himself He began to draw out a strange substance. When He bid me touch this substance I discovered that it was like a heavy, smooth oil filled with light. It was the substance of LIFE for that tree. This He caused to flow out unto His tree that He loved. This heavenly oil of life flowed all over that tree and penetrated to the very inside of it. I could see that it was flowing very deeply into the heart of that great tree. As it did, the stone-tree began to be healed. I could see it slowly returning back to life, beauty and brilliancy. When He began to leave, the healing oil stayed upon the tree and went right on healing it. As I was taken from that place and returned to my own world that tree was still in the process of being fully healed and restored. I wondered greatly at this strange sight.

The Living Stone

This afternoon I was extremely nervous. Many unformed fears troubled me, for I was in the house where I was born and raised with my family. I wondered if I would be able to reach through to Him in this place—the scene of great affliction and trouble in my life. But after a while in prayer the Lord came to me and took me over into the Spirit. First He began to talk to me. reassuring me in great sweetness, telling me that He loved me and that was like a sweet oil of healing to my troubled spirit. Then with tender love—but in a tone of sweet reprimand—He asked me why, seeing that He so loved me and that I so loved Him, why then was it so important to me if other people loved me or not? Why was the love of man so important to me? And it was true. I had been troubled as to the rejection I had received from my family and wondered if they would love me now.

Then He took me to another place and there was coming in great glory a band of those very high angels whose rank and glory are so exceedingly bright. Their faces were seemingly composed of jewels of gorgeous colors and tremendous brightness of intense, pure, celestial light. They were carrying in their hands a great tray of some celestial substance that was bright and living. Upon the tray was a most precious and beautiful living-stone filled with inner light and so shining. It had the same appearance as the living stones which the angels had as their hearts when standing before the Lord as He filled them with those emanations from Himself seen in a former vision.

Then came His voice saying, “Take the stone and eat for it is prepared for thee.” I took it and ate it. I do not know how I ate it but I did. It caused strange sensations within me, very wonderful and not entirely agreeable, yet not painful. Rather it caused a sense of strange wonder within me. I had the feeling that it was something that I had lacked and now this was providing that which lacked. This something was part of a process of development which I must go through. The sensations were very powerful and permeated my whole being, yet they were also smooth and sweet. I know not how to really define them.

Chapter 9

The River of Blessing

Again I was very nervous and troubled in spirit and it was very difficult getting all the troubling thoughts shut out of my mind and fixing my heart upon the Lord. After a long while I was able to relax and look unto Him. Again He came and took me into the Spirit. When He began to speak to me—and I with Him—I mentioned that even though I should lose my soul in hell I would still go on loving Him. He answered that He did not like what I had said speaking to me in reprimand and I was much abashed. He said that I should never speak nor even think that way because such was doubting all of His words spoken to me and doubting His love and His works within me. He further said that such thinking caused Him much pain and grief. This broke my heart for I did not want to cause Him any pain at all.

Then He took me to the same place where I had been once before— the place where I had seen the great river of blessing fall as a great cataract from below a great cross of light. But this time there was a difference. This time I saw the river itself without any cataract flowing very wide and full. It was such glorious water all full of light and life. It seemed that anything it would touch would be en-livened, so full of life and blessing and light was it.

In the center of this mighty river was the cross so immense and so glorious. It was all of blazing, brilliant light, shining forth in wondrous brilliancy. It seemed to radiate glory and light in all directions.

As I watched, the river began to decrease flowing less and less till it flowed no more. All the water dried up and was no more. Then I saw that below where the water had been there were many, many living beings very small in size. I knew that they were people of our world, though they were not in the form of men—rather they seemed to be formless, at least to my eyes. I also saw that in this great multitude of living beings scattered here and there throughout the vast expanse were some beings that shone in light. They had light in themselves and shone with much brightness. All those without light began to spoil, little by little becoming all rotten, lying there in a state of complete decomposition.

Then there appeared small canopies like overturned bowls that covered each one of those who had light in themselves. One came and covered me, also. It was a strange, transparent substance that fully covered and seemed to radiate security and peace and love. One felt so lovely and comfortable and peaceful within this covering that was transparent and living. It was a wondrous and pleasing sensation. I noticed that all the rest of those beings now in their rotten state were not covered.

Then there appeared the great, flaming Cloud of His Glory-Presence. He was in the Cloud which was in great tumult with storms of fire and light and movement being greatly agitated and in a state of great violence. Continually enfolding itself, it was very fearful to behold as there was nothing tranquil nor peaceful about it. Were I now so wondrously covered I would have been in terrible panic and fear. From the Cloud came forth terrible noises of storm, thunder and rushing of winds in great fury. Sounds of great wrath and strange sounds that I could not define all spoke of great fury. Truly it was a sight and sound to strike utmost terror into any being who was not covered.

At this most awful appearance I saw those small beings, all deteriorated but still with life, try to escape but all to no avail. There was amongst them great and terrible disorder. Then there came out from the midst of the Great Cloud a huge, dark canopy that looked like a great trap. This great canopy came upon those tiny rotten beings with great violence and enclosed them all up together and I was given to know that they were all held there for their destruction from which there was no escape. This great, covering canopy of destruction was all black and dark and without any life whatsoever. Its whole demeanor and appearance gave the understanding of its awful purpose. The darkness which was within it struck dread to my heart. It fully covered those tiny beings and I saw them no more and I knew that I would never see them again.

The Fiery Swords

Being still in my own home and city I was much buffeted by the enemy so that when I entered into prayer I was much disturbed and troubled by many doubts and in-tranquility and it was a long fight to enter into His Presence. But at last He prevailed and taking me into the Spirit He began to talk to me.

He told me not to fear and spoke peace to my troubled spirit saying that He loved me and that He would be with me. Then He began to talk to me about His enemies. He said that of all the devils not even one of them would ever enter into salvation, that there was no salvation for even the very smallest devil, that there would be no escape for any of them from the largest to the very smallest. Then He further told me that He held all of them firmly under His power and under His dominion. He showed me that He utterly and fully controlled them as if they were mere puppets, that they could only do what He wanted, when and how He wanted it and they were always and ever in that condition.

Then He told me not to fear and I felt all fear leave me. Afterward He showed me the great Cloud of Glory that was Himself. He was in it and He was near it outside of it and He was showing it to me. From this glorious Cloud emanated forth the same love and the same peace, the same virtues and graces that I had ever received from Him in any of His other forms or manifestations. This wondrous Cloud was so full of light and power and glory that no words are anywhere sufficient to give any idea of its glory and its greatness. It seemed to be Jesus Himself in the highest form and manifestation He has ever shown unto me. This time the Cloud was most exalted and in great violence and appeared to be enfolding itself in constant movement and tremendous inner activity.

From the inner part of this mighty Cloud there came forth great, fiery swords, terrible and furious in their aspect yet withal of great glory and beauty. They flashed as they continually turned every direction with marvelous light, shining as if they were great bolts of lightning. Each sword—and there was a tremendous number of which no man could count, thousands upon thousands—wheeled and turned in every direction having its own trajectory, yet not one of them ever clashed with the other. Each was perfectly controlled, circling in its own path. In spite of their great wonder and beauty they struck great dread to my heart. But He was beside me covering me in His wonderful canopy of light and love as He ever covered me in times when He showed me anything terrible or dreadful. There in my little canopy of His love and care I felt secure. Were it not for this covering I would have had terror in great magnitude, for the swords were weapons of terrible import.

Then there appeared great, powerful and special angels who were most unusual in their vestments. They were not covered in light as I had always seen them heretofore, but rather they were all covered in vestments of great fury, even with fury very exalted and incensed. Each angel was of tremendous power, might and great glory. All seemed to be like a great heavenly army that came in formation, flying at great speed. Each drew near to the Cloud and took one of those fiery swords and arming himself in great power was ready to go out against His enemies.

The Patterned Water

This day there was a great battle to enter into His presence because of c large party in my home. All the house was in turmoil with much shouting and children running in and out of the next room. After two hours of battling in prayer I could still not enter. After talking a while with a friend, I returned to prayer and at last could begin to draw near unto Him. Then He took me on into the realms of the Spirit.

He began to speak to me telling me of His love for me and I felt reassured. He reminded me that He was with me all the time and that I should be strong and of good courage even as He had told me before through Joshua 1:9. He wanted me to remember that. Then He said that even though I was surrounded by hell itself He was with me just as much as at any other time. This I remembered later when I was in the midst of all the people in that party who seemed full of the enemy himself.

Then He carried me to a place where I saw the Great Cloud of blazing glory so immense and full of glorious beauty, all alive with tremendous light and fire. Not in violence—though still in much movement and ever enfolding itself—it was in a relative state of tranquility and irradiated love and peace. The Cloud was suspended over a great tank of water—water of great blessing which was alight with beautiful brilliance and life. I saw that this water was wondrously strange and was all separated into small sections. How could water stay in patterned sections? I wondered.

The water appeared to be divided into sections of different colors, sizes and shapes making it look like some mosaic pattern. It was the most beautiful water I had ever beheld, glorious in celestial beauty and radiant with inner life. It seemed to be full of great blessing. Each color, form and shape continued, nor was there any changing or intermixing of them.

Then there appeared glorious angels, high and beautiful, that belonged to this higher sphere. They appeared to be the same as those whom I had seen before that remained before the Lord with their hearts exposed, their hearts being beautiful living-stones of various colors, forms and shapes.

Each angel brought in his hands a living-stone that was also of a distinct shape, color and size which he placed in a corresponding place in the water where it fitted exactly. When they had done this each stone fitted perfectly into its own place prepared exactly for it in these waters. As I looked into the water I saw that each stone took on an even greater brilliance of light and life than it had before.

Then there came forth from the Cloud a stream of cloud-like material—a life substance—which covered all the water and all the stones and remained continually upon them giving them life out from the Cloud.

Chapter 10

His Enemies Destroyed

On the afternoon of the 25th of September it was not so difficult to enter into the Spirit. He began to talk to me welcoming me, reassuring me of His love and bringing peace to me. (For until He tells me not to fear I am always afraid.) Once again He began to talk to me about His enemies, explaining that the devils were going to be much enraged. Their fury would be very much accentuated and it was going to be from Him. They were going to the field He had shown me to gather up all the tares that belonged to them. In their wrath they were going to carry them all away with them. Not one single plant was going to escape their wrath and incensed fury. He also told me that in that day many would believe that they did not belong in the reaping of the devils and would cry out one excuse after another, for they had thought that they belonged to the reaping of the angels in heaven, but that it was not so. They would have all kinds of excuses and reasons why they should not be reaped by the devils but all to no avail, for they belonged to him and he would take away every single one of them. Not one would be left behind. Every plant that was without life and divine light in itself would be harvested by the devil and his angels. Either the plants had light in themselves or else their excuses would be of no value. He did not say that they were people who repented, but that they came with various excuses and reasonings and saying many things.

Then He took me to another place covering me with His canopy of transparent love and light where I felt so secure and protected. There I saw again that great Cloud of glory and light and fire. It was in a state of tremendous violence, rage and fury and was in great inner violence of activity.

Then there came forth a huge hamper-like covering thing that was all black and dark and very frightening. It was without either light or life of any kind and appeared frighteningly strange in a place where everything lives. As I looked, it came forth in great immensity and enclosed all His enemies. All the devils and all the evil men were enclosed together in this terrible black canopy. Not one of them could escape.

Then there came forth from out of the great Glory Cloud of fire and fury a great cloud-like substance that seemed to be pure and terrible venom. It was thick and dark and of terrible aspect. Death was in it. This dark substance settled down upon that dark canopy covering it with a thick, crust-like sentence of eternal doom. There arose a great horror of thick darkness and I felt the terrible dread and import of it all knowing that all these terrible evil and rebellious beings should never be seen again. They were covered up forever from sight as by a great coffin.

When this was finished there broke forth great rejoicing in all heaven. Every substance, every being, every angel came into a much greater abundance of light and glory than it had possessed before. For all heaven it was a day of great increase. Everything radiated RINGS OF FIRE.

Again this time there was a most difficult time to get my mind free from troubling thoughts as I was very nervous and in a bad mood. After a while I finally grew still inside and tranquil enough for Him to come to me. He took me into the Spirit and began to speak to me. First He spoke peace to me calming me greatly. Then He again spoke of His love to me with precious words of care telling me not to fear. This liberated me from all the insecurity and bad humor I had felt.

Then He took me to a place where I saw a great multitude of angels flying towards me in a formation like a great wave. They were all glorious and of wondrous brightness. In their midst they were carrying an immense crystal stone like a glorious diamond all full of light and beauty and fully transparent.

Scattered throughout this glorious crystal stone were small circles or rings of fire. It was a beautiful and a good fire, not destructive nor fearful but attractive, lovely and most beautiful. These rings gave forth a great deal of celestial light and were altogether things of glory and beauty. I wondered greatly at this great crystal stone that they were bringing to the fiery cloud of glory. This glorious Cloud was not in violence but benign, showing no wrath but great inner activity, ever enfolding itself in fire and tremendous glory light, irradiating peace and love.

The Golden Glory Cloud

This time I had a long, arduous battle against the enemy in order to come unto Him. It seemed as if everything came against me; for three hours I could not get through to Him. But at last in mercy He came and helped me. drawing me near to Himself and taking me into the Spirit. This time He began by saying a strange thing to me. After telling me not to fear as He always did and welcoming me in His love, He said that now I could no longer doubt either Him or these things. Whatever anyone might do unto me, still they could not make me doubt because these things were now so rooted and so engraved within me that I would find it impossible to ever doubt them.

Then He showed me Himself. He was the Cloud of Glory and it was the most wonderful and glorious I had ever seen. It was as I had seen Him before in His other form. The Cloud was made of a golden substance, like gold but it was still a cloud, ever enfolding upon itself and full of fire and tremendous glory light. It was not in a state of anger nor violence but was in a state of great calm, relatively speaking, for in the manifestation of the Cloud is never quiescent but ever active with tremendous inner movement.

Then I saw some angels of great glory and beauty of those high and glorious angelic beings who so often are seen in company with Him in the Cloud which I have described before. They are the highest kind of angelic beings I have yet seen. Their most outstanding characteristics seem to be their great power, high intelligence and great size. Of tremendous brilliance and high glory they give the impression of great age compared with other angels. They were bringing to me a tiny, tiny cloud that was identical with Him in His immense Cloud. This tiny, tremendously reduced yet identical cloud they brought to me and it completely covered me and seemed drawn to me as if I were a magnet. Then I strangely began to absorb it into every part of my being. This brought strange, totally inexplicable sensations. It seemed to be like a process which brought a most enlarged sense of security and of a complete transformation within me. Even after I was returned to my own world I still felt a new sense of faith and security.

The Heart of Living-Stone

On the 28th of September I had finally returned from a long, arduous week in my own home, having experienced almost constant attacks both within and without from the enemy. In fact I felt so buffeted that my faith wavered and I suffered torments with the thought that even though these things were true, even though they would surely come to pass, still I would lose out myself, for I was too weak and fragile to ever be able to stand up against all the forces seemingly arrayed against me. The thought that I was lost and undone brought great pain to my heart. But after a relatively short time of prayer Jesus came to me speaking in a tone of pain and of reprimand. His words came with great force and seemed to strike me, penetrating deep within my inner being. He was not scolding me but rather admonishing me and asked, “How is it that you could ever think that I would abandon you in the midst of the way? Have I not said that I would be with you, that mine eye is ever upon you? In all that transpired still there was in it no real danger to you because you are already over on the other side.” I still do not know what He meant by this last statement. With so many fightings within and with-out how could He say that to me?

He then carried me in the spirit and I saw again that great jewel case He had showed me once before which I have already described. It was just the same one though now I saw it here in this higher sphere. There were angels guarding it but they, too, were angels of this sphere and were not the same angels I saw guarding it the last time when I saw it on a lower sphere. The Cloud of fire and glory was also there with me in its state of relative peace and calm.

On the top of the sealed lid of the jewel case I saw a heart shaped living-stone all covered in pure celestial light, exceedingly filled with life and of great brilliance. Somehow I knew that He was showing me myself. Seeing this, all my faith, courage, tranquility and sense of security returned in full force after all the strong battles I had felt.

The Living Fires

After battling with much sleepiness I finally was enabled to overcome and was taken into the Spirit. He was there in His manifestation of the great Cloud. The Cloud was in relative calm but still was fully aglow with tremendous inner fires, great burnings, and constant movement as if He were given over into great emotions.

Below the Cloud there was something all covered over with a veil that was like a cloud of light made into some gossamer material of celestial living things. This cloudy veil shone forth with much light and as are all things there was filled with life. There came a band of great angels who belong to this sphere and they prepared to take hold of this cloudy veil to uncover that which was hidden below. At this instant He spoke from out of the Cloud and in a great voice that reverberated throughout all heaven said, “THE TIME HAS COME IN WHICH THESE MUST BEGIN TO REIGN.” It was a moment of extreme importance and all was great joy and great love. As they began to uncover and draw back the veil all heaven seemed to break forth in a song whose words I could not understand with a noise and force that penetrated and reverberated throughout all the heavens. It was a sound of great glory and triumph. Again a voice sounded and said, “Now is come the day of great glory.”

The angels proceeded to take aside the cloudy veil. There before me I saw a relatively limited number of flaming fires of gold which were like giant torches that were not only in full flame but also were most brilliant in celestial glory light. The fire was a good fire, not evil, destructive nor angry, but a welcoming, loving flame. All of them were in the attitude of reigning and I knew they were reigning with Him.

These fiery torches that reigned were fully united and identified with the One who was the Cloud of Glory as if they were a part of Himself, or as if they were He many times over on a tiny scale. He spoke again saying that this would now be taking place. I knew that this was of greatest import and was a glorious hour in the heavenlies.

The Golden Torches

The next night He took me again into the Spirit showing me the same place with these same fiery torches of gold all aflame as before under the Cloud. The scene was the same as the night before and at first there was no difference. Then He spoke with a thunderous voice from out of the Cloud. At His voice all things trembled and I was greatly astonished. He said, “NOW EACH ONE OF THESE SHALL BE PLACED AND LOCATED IN HIS OWN PLACE OF REIGNING! ” At the same time I saw another thing.

These same great flames of fiery gold were dispersed over a great expanse each in his own place but at the same time they did not leave their places under the Cloud. These torches were one and the same but they were in two distinct places at the same time. Each was in his own place and there He reigned. At the same time the torches were so dispersed that they formed into some sort of pat-tern but I could not tell what it meant.

Lifted up over these reigning flames of fiery golden torches I saw a great host of mighty angels, a great number impossible for man to number. They all had their wings extended as they were suspended over these reigning ones. All of the angels sang with terrible and mighty voices so that the whole universe seemed to tremble. It was as a voice of some mighty, stormy wind with a sound so penetrating and so overpowering yet so impossible for me to understand their words.

I saw also that there was a total vigilance, identification and unity between the One in the Cloud of glory and those who were under the Cloud and those same ones who were each in His own place. There was no separation because of distance. He was with them in unique love and unity.

I saw also that where each one was reigning in his own place the fire consumed all around itself until all around was burned. Yet this same fire under the Cloud, burning in all the same vehemence, consumed nothing at all.

Chapter 11

The Clouds Descends

Again I was taken into the realms of the Spirit and lovingly welcomed by the Lord. After covering me with His love He especially told me that I need not have any fear because He would not abandon me. Then He showed me Himself as the Glorious Cloud of Fire and Light. The Cloud was the most excited and exceedingly exalted that I have ever seen it save in anger and wrath, but this time He was not in His wrath. Mighty power and all kinds of rays and emanations were upon all sides. In a most marvelous and tremendous manner He was filled with violence and activity yet it was not in wrath. I cannot describe at all what He was like in the Cloud.

Then there came out from Him in a huge wave something that appeared to be His very own self in mighty glory and in the Cloud yet He did not leave His high place in the heavens either, yet He did. He was in so much activity and moved about over the heavens that opened below Him. This great wave of Himself in the Cloud also descended with tens of thousands of mighty angels down towards the earth. It did not descend slowly nor softly but in great haste and speedy activity. When it was as yet some distance from the earth it hovered there for a while suspended over the heads of the people but they did not see it nor did they know it was there. And there it rested.

After a while this other Cloud that was Himself—so much so that it seemed that He had partly left the heavens—became again very active and then with another speedy movement it descended again. This time it went clear on down to the earth and covered it from my view.

Then He spoke saying, “This which you see will not take my loving sons by surprise because they are waiting for it to take place. They are already knowing and have been advised and are waiting for me to come to them in love, for they will love my appearing.” He also said that His hour had been fulfilled and that it was now the time that these things must shortly take place.

The Twelve Stones

After awhile of praying and loving the Lord He came again to me and caught me away into the Spirit. There I saw Him in the Glory Cloud which was relatively quiet and in repose, though that tremendous Cloud would never be called quiet for it is filled with the most intense activity, inner fires and glory even in its most tranquil moments. He told me that afterward the enemy would come to me to try to disturb me but that I need not be terrified. (This took place shortly afterward but the enemy was shortly routed and peace again reigned.)

Beneath the Cloud was a most immense Sapphire-Crystal stone living, transparent and filled with glory light and life. Within this great Sapphire-Crystal I saw as it were a great edifice built. And within this great edifice there were living stones each one of a different color and shape but of the same size. They were most wonderful to behold, so full of glory-life and so brilliantly shining with that inexplicable celestial light that I knew they were of great importance. I looked again and saw that there were twelve in number. I did not count them but I was made to know this even without counting for He gave me to understand their number.

Each one of the twelve stones had directly under it a large number of like stones all arranged according to the color of the head stone and all of like color. Each was according to the color of its head stone. These under stones though somewhat smaller than the head stones were of equal color, brilliance and glory and were equal in size one with another. The number of the under stones I could not tell nor was I informed. Also within this great Sapphire were myriads of angels praising and ministering.

This day there was a difficult battle against sleepiness but at last I was enabled to come into the presence of God. He welcomed me with such a loving welcome. Knowing my deep insecurities and my tormenting fears He just seemed to embrace me in His love. And up there His love is so pure and so deep and so penetrating that I never want to leave and would stay forever. Here His love seems so far removed from the pure flow of His love up there. He also told me of His watch care over me and that I need not fear and even though I would pass through many battles He promised to give me victory in all of them. Then He carried me to another place.

There He showed me Himself in that wondrous fire and glory Cloud. He was in a state of great intranquility, tremendous movements, en-foldings, rushings and great activities within. Yet withal He was not inflamed in wrath as I have seen Him at other times. He was surrounded by many glorious and high angels but I did not pay much attention to the angels this time. Often they seem to sort of blend into the surroundings as natural things to that place but do not call forth my attention.

Then he began to draw out from Himself some of the most strange and wondrous things which were seemingly super abundantly filled with life and power and were exceedingly shining in brilliancy. Their appearance was as it were great, long, moving whips or terribly electrified cables of the same golden-like fiery substance as He Him-self. These instruments, whips, scourges, or whatever they might have been had life in themselves and continued moving. They struck dread to my heart.

Then I saw again the great tree that I had been shown before—the one that had been sick and seemed rotten deep inside—which Jesus had healed with His living substance. This tree seemed very beautiful and full of life and was made of living jewels that were so shining. I could see no evil or sickness at all in this wondrous tree.

Suddenly I saw these strange, whip-like instruments in tremendous flashes that seemed like anger rush towards that tree striking it in great flashes of terrible light. They penetrated to the very interior of that tree and cut it in half. Half of it was fulminated instantly and disappeared as if annihilated by those most powerful whip-like instruments that He had sent to it.

I noticed that the other half stood still just as before and was not damaged at all. As He extended Himself towards His tree a part of Himself moved out and covered His tree. As I beheld, the tree was fully restored like it was before and another half was given to it. Although it had been most beautiful before now it was many fold times more beautiful, greatly magnified in glory and life and light. From then on it appeared to be a very part of Himself. It was no longer something apart from Him but was identified with Him in a wonderful way being now an inseparable part of Himself.

The House of Living Stones

On the 4th of October I had a most difficult battle to be able to draw near unto Him in prayer because I was filled with great discouragements and gripped by thoughts from the enemy which I could not shut out. Suddenly He came to me in tender love covering me inside and outside with that sweet love. He did not scold me for my discouragements but just told me He loved me very much and that I need not fear at all. He said that when I would listen to Him and to what He said that He was there Himself present whether I saw or felt Him or not. He had listened to all the fightings within my mind and even to my desperate thoughts of flight to escape from the battle and from my feeling of much nervousness. He told me that I needed to be still. When I would become really still within, then I could enter into Him immediately. Having battled for several hours I felt myself physically exhausted when He spoke saying, “I am your strength and your refuge. Do not fear.” Immediately I felt fully re-leased from every fear and troubling spirit. His great strength en-folded me as great security entered into me and I was most greatly encouraged. Nor did the enemy again return to bother me.

He then took me to another place where I saw once again that same house I had seen before built of those wonderful living-stones of such beauty and shining life. But now it was all finished and was here in a higher sphere than when I had seen it before. It was a very great house with its roof already placed upon it. In fact, though it was one house, it seemed to have many roofs or divisions of its one roof.

I saw the angels—those which belong to this sphere—working inside the house finishing it within. There were very many of these glorious beings in their own pristine glory and shining light who were most

industrious in their labor though I was not given to know what they were doing.

The Lord was there also in His great fiery Cloud of much glory. Oh. I cannot ever find any way to describe Him in His great Cloud! So terribly immense and His glory is so great! The highest angels pale beside Him. Such immensities of power and rushings and thunderings! Even in His state of most relative calm the wonderful and beautiful glory and dread of Him is totally indescribable. Yet I am not afraid because He so loves me and covers me that even in His highest wrath He does not terrify me. How gloriously terrible He is!

At that moment from out of His great Cloud came a great part of Him as a cloud and moved over to cover that great house of living- stones, covering it only on the outside and not going inside. As it covered the house, all of its roofs sprang into fire like a great flaming furnace. It was not a consuming fire and was not a bad fire. It was good, attractive and very beautiful and reached very high.

As it burned I saw that all the living stones under the Cloud and under the fire began to change color taking on the color of a trans-parent, shining gold that shone with great brilliancy. Then the smaller cloud proceeded back to Himself in His Cloud. (For when He sends out something from Himself—even though it be a great cloud—still He does not change nor does He leave His place.)

Thus He left the house all glorified, beautified and wonderfully changed with much more life than before. The fire continued on the roof and I wondered much at the great marvel of a house whose roof was all aflame.

The Cross of Fire

Because it was a day of many frustrations and I felt depressed and sad, it was difficult to enter into His presence in prayer. But at last I became still within and He drew near, taking me into the Spirit and spreading His mantle of love over me. He always loves me first of all. I can never, never grow weary of His love for it is so wonderful, so high, so penetrating and so sweet that it captures every part of my being. After I was all filled and calmed within He spoke to me saying that all of my days were ordered by Him and for Him.

Then taking me to another place He showed me Himself in the Cloud once again. This time it was not at all calm but He was very, very active and exceedingly filled with fire and movings and great rushings. Still in spite of the violence of the inner activity and fires yet He was not in wrath nor even anger. With Him were great numbers of His angels in attendance.

Below Him were those mighty angels with their immense torches that I had seen before who were holding their great torches and awaiting orders to proceed with them. This time I saw the same angels but they were standing at the four points of a great cross. The living fire of the torches ran back and forth from torch to torch forming a most glorious, blazing cross of living fire of greatest brilliance. Above this cross of fire there were numberless thousands of angels. Among them were a number of these giant blazing torches.

Suddenly He spoke with a loud voice from out of the Cloud saying, “Now shall man know. Not one of them shall remain indifferent any longer. This sign shall be for good for my own loved ones but it shall be for evil for all the evil ones of the earth. This shall bring forth all things to their definition.”

His Gifts Unto Man

On the 6th of October I did not have such a struggle to draw near to Him. When He lifted me up into the Spirit He lifted me into His arms and I felt the wonderful love of Him like a living force flowing into my whole being and I was greatly refreshed. Oh. why cannot I stay over there? It is so wonderfully beautiful there and not all ugly, twisted and filled with terrible things like down here. I just want to stay there forever and not live down here at all. He spoke to me so tenderly then loved me and told me just to rest in Him. So I rested.

Then He took me into another place where I saw Him in His Cloud of living fire and great glory. With Him were the great, high and glorious angels. I also saw as it were His form within the fiery Cloud all made of wondrous blazing jewels. Immense and great were the number of these most wonderful and glorious jewels that made up His form within the Cloud.

These wonderful jewels of great size—all of living fire and of glorious, shining light—He drew out from Himself and gave unto the angels one to each one, instructing them to take them unto the men who were waiting for them. Each jewel was destined for a certain man on the earth.

With a great voice He said. “These gifts will shortly be given unto men. Certain ones have greatly desired them and have asked much for them because I have placed it in their hearts to ask for them. I am going to give them the gifts for which they have asked. But upon receiving them they must be kept strictly for Me and with Me because they are from Me.”

He showed me these gifts going up and down from man unto Him-self. Again He spoke telling me that each gift had its determined destination and a certain name and person already fixed, but it was most important that the gift did not stay down. It must flow between the receiver and the Giver. Some would receive these gifts correctly and would use them for Him and He would be pleased because they would rightly guard their relationship with Him and all would be well.

But at the same time many of the recipients of these gifts would not keep them rightly. They would not flow up and down but would stay down and there they would work wonders and glories for awhile. But then suddenly these gifts would turn about and would utterly destroy those who had not correctly kept them. “This, too. is my will.” He said. “This I already know and have already determined and know those of mine who shall rightly keep my gifts. I also know those who shall not keep My gifts rightly and who shall be destroyed by them. But such ones will have these gifts, for I have placed in their hearts to ask for them, but they will keep them unto themselves for their own destruction.”

Chapter 12

The Cloud on the Earth

After a long battle with a very bad mood He finally came to me as I was praying and lifted me into the Spirit. First He spoke to me so sweetly and lovingly. He never scolds me at all for my bad moods or feelings that sweep over me, especially when I come to the hour of prayer, for He seems to understand that they come from the enemy. After awhile He frees me, then renews all His love in me very tenderly.

When He carried me in the spirit into His high sphere I saw Him in His bright Cloud that seemed to be fully ablaze in glory and tremendous inner activity. Although full of rushings, movements, fire and glory yet He was not in wrath. His whole being radiated love and goodness. Below Him in the Cloud I again saw those four great angels with their torches at the four corners of the great cross of fire. With Him there were also a great host of these mighty angels whose whole beings seemed to be made of glorious jewels all living, fiery and bright with great inner shining. Other great angelic beings were there whose numbers were countless.

Before me was a large number of those strange beings which seemed neither angelic nor human whose heads are so full of eyes. They were huge in size and were flying on great wings. These beings were not brilliant with inner light like the angels, yet they were very good, intelligent and withal attractive. Also I again saw a goodly number of those bright fires which were the golden fires that He said would be reigning with Him on the earth. They were the same ones that the angels had uncovered from beneath the cloudy-veil.

I looked far below Him down upon the earth and He told me that everything and every being that I saw above with Him was also down below upon the earth. I could see it as in a reflection yet I could not see it directly. He in His Cloud was no longer poised above the earth but now had come down directly upon the earth. It completely covered the whole earth as He spoke to me with a great voice saying, “I am there to gather together My own, for they shall be filled with My glory and this glory shall be seen by all. Now is the time when My own shall be raised up to be with Me in My glory. My Cloud shall no more be raised up from the earth but shall re-main there so that we shall be together forever.”

The Mountain of Fire

I had been under relentless attack from the enemy all day. Not only was my mind under constant attack of pursuing thoughts of failure and of being abandoned but there were many outer frustrations throughout the day. When my hour of prayer came I could not grow still within. I fought and fought to come into inner peace but all to no avail until they began to sing during the evening service in the adjoining room, ‘‘Let God arise and His enemies be scattered.” Suddenly peace came with faith and He swept aside all the black clouds of harassing thoughts. As I worshiped Him in love He came and took me into the Spirit. He was not angry with me for having such ugly thoughts but repeated so patiently and tenderly that I was not to be afraid because He was with me, assuring me that He had not left me nor withdrawn from me nor would He ever leave me. Then He covered me with His wonderful waves of love that seemed like He had caught me up into His very own person, so close and tenderly He let His love flow over me. Then after awhile when I was completely at peace within and felt once again secure and protected He said, “Come little one. Come with me.” And He took me with Him into His world.

There in the heavens above I saw everything that He had shown me the day before. There was the Cloud of great glory in fiery activity within itself. There, too, were all the angels in full attendance and in much worship. Those high angelic beings are so wonderful and full of glory that nothing is like unto them save Jesus who is extremely high above them all. There, too, was the cross of living, shining fire with its four angels with their immense torches filling the four points of the fire-cross while the fire continued to burn between the four torches. Also there were the Great Living Beings—whom I call the thousand-eyed ones—flying about Him in the Cloud. He has never let me know what they are nor what they mean. There also were those great, living fires like gold burning within that were so like Him, those of whom He said that they reign with Him.

These fires were each one of great size like a great, blazing furnace. Each fire was like the other and there was a goodly number which I could not count. Below, under the Cloud and upon the earth, I saw all the fires. The fiery shining ones and the fiery-cross with the angels with their immense torches had moved together forming one tremendous mountain of fire. Such a huge mountain it was, higher than our highest mountains and longer than our Andes Mountains. Observing this mountain of fire I marveled and wondered much. The light of their combined shining was greater than a thousand suns, nor was their light like unto the light of our sun. It was so white, so pure, so exceedingly brilliant that their fires all combined was like the world itself on fire. However, this fire consumed nothing but only burned and burned. In greatest beauty and glory the fires became one below the Cloud.

Around the outside of that great mountain of fire I saw great shades of darkness which gathered together more and more until they formed into a terrible force of darkness which united to make war against that fiery mountain. Meantime the mountain of fire just ignored them. Then raising up in all their fury they antagonistically approached the mountain of fire. As they raised up high and drew near in their futile fury they were consumed instantly by the fiery brilliance of the flames which did not even rise up against them. They just went right on burning gloriously in a wondrous beauty in the likeness of His fires in the great Cloud. They disdained to even be troubled by the darkness because the darkness was totally destroyed, fulminated by their very brightness. As I watched I thought to myself, “How utterly ridiculous. How utterly devoid of all reason to think that they could make war against that glorious mountain of immense, combined fires of such tremendous burnings.” It seemed as if the mountain of fire laughed in scorn at this ridiculous attempt of the forces of darkness nor did they trouble themselves at all by their uprising nor rise up at all against them. The darkness literally destroyed itself by rising up and daring to come against that fire The rage in the forces of darkness against the reigning ones of God was irresistible. In their rage they drew near and destroyed themselves.

Meanwhile the fiery Cloud of glory remained above the mountain of fire. Both the fiery Cloud and the fiery mountain were united and identified in themselves.

The Tree In Bloom

Even though I felt ill, that too passed shortly and I did not have to wait long in prayer today before the Lord came to me in great tenderness taking me away into the Spirit and then speaking so comfortably unto me. For awhile I had been missing that great, penetrating wonder of His full love that ever seemed to flow through me like butter and honey, so sweet that I cannot ever describe what it is like. All the wonderful times of love I have had in His presence down here when I have been deeply melted before Him still are nothing to be compared at all to the way He loves me up there. And for a long while I just rested there in His love until He carried me away into another place.

First I was shown His wondrous Cloud in relative calm, though really not calm at all but as calm as I have ever seen it. Although it is so intensely filled with tremendous activity, fire, lightnings, rushings, voices and power that even in its calmest it is tremendously violent with its inner force and glory. Words fail me and I cannot ever tell what He is like in His wonderful Cloud of great glory.

After that He showed me as it were a number of great patios or porches, immense and all of that wonderful, transparent living shining gold, yet not like the golden material or substance of which He shows Himself sometimes. (There are many kinds and classes of this wonderful material.) In these porches or patios there was an immense, deep sunken pool with fabulous and glorious jewels and gems all so shining, sparkling and brilliant and all so full of life and light, all worked with the most intricate workmanship and designed in exquisite beauty. Some of these wondrous beauties especially captured my eyes. I was entranced with their unearthly beauty. They seemed to draw me and to fill me with intense longing to possess them. One by one here and there scattered throughout this vast treasury there was one of those living gems that would capture my eyes more than all the rest. Perhaps they were not any more beautiful than the rest, nor can I say why they so entranced me more than the others which appeared equally beautiful.

These were all guarded by a great multitude of highest angels whose whole attitude was that of guarding zealously as if the gems were of tremendous value up there. These angels were those whose beings themselves are made of precious and dazzling stones of highest brilliance and glory and who manifest such power and intelligence. These were constantly on guard over those vast treasures.

Then He carried me to another patio and there showed me a tree which seemed to be like the tree seen before but somehow it was different now, not being made of the same material nor did it have as much life, light or brilliance. The tree was just filled with glorious flowers like it had suddenly burst forth into blooms covering all of its branches, even the smallest and the largest. It was a sight of great glory. The flowers seemed to be made of purest, wondrous light, shining much more than the tree before when it had no blooms. These flowers were not only shining in great beauty but they also manifested much life, seemingly overflowing with inner life. This tree showed such promise of a wonderful harvest of fruit to come even when it was in bloom.

Then He spoke saying that these were His treasures—not treasures of His power—but treasures of His love. He made it so emphatic that these were the treasures of His LOVE.

The Hiding Cloud

This day there was a hard battle for I was very sad and could not enter into His presence right away. When He finally came He first righted my whole spirit within me, taking away my fears and my sadness and speaking love and peace into my heart then bringing my spirit into tranquility, faith and a deep sense of security. Soon He took me away with Him where He again was in the Glory Cloud of fire which was not calm at all but this time was seething in great inner activity with inner fires burning at high intensity.

Then there came rolling in upon us all like a deep, dense, opaque fog that comes rolling in off the sea. “This,” He said, "is my hiding place and I shall hide away My people while I shake and move all things.” This cloud was not transparent but very opaque yet filled with light, wonderful glory and full security. Very beautiful inside, it covered all of His people, all of the angels and covered me, too. All of us could see Him and could see one another but we could not see outside.

As the Fiery Cloud increased greatly in activity as if in anger it seemed as if I could see a great grove of trees mowed off as a great scythe swept through them in one immense swath. Although there were great shakings and movements, ail of us inside the covering could know little of what was happening. Then He spoke again saying that even now this hiding place was over His very own ones.

The Rewards of the Evil Ones

There was tremendous opposition as I tried to enter the presence of the Lord. It seemed that all the devils in hell gathered together to oppose, as if for some reason they especially did not want me to go into the heavenlies on this occasion. No sooner had I entered my room for prayer than they began to attack with special violence. Twice I ran out of my room to try to escape the terrible pressures they brought against me. But finally the Lord drew near and with His rays of light cast out all the forces of darkness and I was free to worship. And as I worshiped He drew still nearer and I was caught away in spirit.

This time there was an especially warm welcome given to me and I felt as if the warm, healing balm of His love flowed all over and within me and I was fully restored, feeling so fully repaid for all the terrible time I had just passed through. He spoke all my fears and doubts away, calming my nerves that had become on edge. I just rested in Him for a delightful while until He caught me away and took me inside of His Cloud of Glory. When I returned I could neither see or remember what I had seen there, I could only remember certain things that He said to me. He spoke so clearly and emphatically, carefully explaining to me, though I cannot explain how He told it to me. He showed me as in a reflection in a mirror these things. I did not see directly as He has shown me so many other things, but only as a reflection in a mirror. As He spoke I beheld and fully understood, but I cannot explain it that way.

He said that His children would be tremendously beautified, glorious within and without, full of adornments and beauty and they could in no way at all understand now how glorious they would be. It was impossible for them in any way to know, understand or even imagine all the wonderful glory He was going to give them in that great day that was shortly coming.

Speaking of His enemies He said, “Even as my own cannot under-stand, know or imagine the glory that awaits them, in the same ratio and in the same manner and in the exact reverse so my enemies can neither understand, realize nor even imagine how terrible that day will be for them.” Oh, it seemed so terrible as He spoke to me. Such total ugliness! Every sin would lie upon them in exposed ugliness and horror. Terrible things would come upon them and show all over them. They would be forever filled with terrible, burning shame and would ever want to hide. They would be objects of great scorn and despised, despicably ugly. Though they know even now that judgment awaits them and that it will be ugly yet they still have no understanding at all of how terrible that judgment shall be.

“My memory,” He said, “is absolutely perfect and I shall remember everything they have ever committed and it shall be rewarded unto them. To the righteous it shall be in beautiful adornments but to the evil it shall become covered with all of their evil terribly exposed in all of its ugliness. Their aspect and their visage and their whole beings shall be so distorted and twisted and deformed that they shall be transformed by their own evil into horrifying monsters of shame, ugliness and scorn.”

These things He explained and showed to me but I cannot remember what I saw. I can only remember His explanation which filled me with deep repulsion and hatred in beholding these terribly ugly, monstrous creatures so horribly destroyed by their own evil that comes back upon them in awful retribution making them by its own consequence such hateful objects of scorn and repulsion. Just as each good act would be another adornment of beauty, exactly so each sin would become a thing of visible ugliness.

The Degenerated Plants

I was but a short time in prayer when He came to me and took me away into His world welcoming me to Himself with such words of love and telling me not to fear. Never one time has He failed to tell me of His love or to tell me not to fear and each time it seems to be a complete renewal of my whole spiritual being. As I rested in Him I was brought into great tranquility and security. He told me again that He would never leave me not even for a moment but would always be with me even though I could not see Him.

Then He took me on up to His sphere where He remains hidden within His Glory Cloud which somehow is His very own self. Again I not only saw it but was carried into this Cloud. Within it is such a different place. First I seemed to disappear completely as I merged into such complete union with Him, yet I did not lose my identity. To the contrary, I seemed to become even more myself than ever, but not myself apart from Him. So at one with Him. So identified. So united. So possessed by Him that He and I became one. I cannot understand it nor explain it but it was such a glorious place of high blessedness that I could stay there forever. I was no longer looking at Him, nor even being loved by Him but I was taken into Himself beyond all power of mine to even begin to explain the state of total bliss it is. I felt so empty yet so filled all gt the same time. When He took me into this place last time and now this time. He was speaking to me regarding His enemies and what is to happen to them.

While I was in the Cloud He showed me a vast multitude of great plants that might have been trees but they were so misshapen, so twisted and deformed, so degenerated and so rotten that their odor filled the whole scene. This odor of great putrefaction, death and decay assailed my senses. These degenerated, rotting things were still living but they were dead while they still lived. And they were so deformed as to have not the slightest resemblance to the trees that they once had been. They were so ugly and so repulsive that I was numbed as if in a state of shock.

Then He spoke to me saying that these were evil men. Thus had they become and thus would they remain throughout eternity for these plants were the devils’ harvest. I was not carried to the place where these things were; I only saw them clearly but at a great distance. He went on to explain to me that the devils want to have this harvest for they have a great desire like a great thirst for men. They want to capture every one they can in the depths of their own rebellion. Yet because of this harvest they themselves shall suffer far deeper agonies of torment, for not only shall they suffer the pains of their own torment but they shall have added unto them all the sufferings of the men they have deceived, captured and harvested unto themselves. Therefore their agonies shall be interminable and compounded forever. Yet their terrible thirst in their rebellions make them seek for all they possibly can for their own evil harvest.

He also said that there is not one person in hell who did not once have an opportunity to be saved, not one person but that once had the knowledge of Him for He had given unto them their opportunity. For this reason they cannot justify themselves because of the deceits of the evil ones for they are there because of their own decisions and choices. Not one of them had ever ceased to be in hell. Even though they had knowledge of Him and had been where He was, yet they had never ceased to be in hell. Still He had been faithful unto them and they had been given full opportunity to have changed their state had they willed to.

Chapter 13

Heavenly Houses

The Lord set me free from the heavy oppressions of the enemy and I was enabled to enter into His presence most easily and quickly. When He took me into the Spirit and came unto me His welcome was so very loving and tender and He called me by my name “Annie” which He always uses and never any other. After telling me of His love and His care and just loving me in His arms, He said, “Every single step of your life is according to My will and each one is directed by Me.” Then He carried me away to the sphere where He resides in His great Cloud.

Today the Cloud was in a state of relative calm, that is, its great seething inner fires were not in those awesome violences that sometimes are manifested. Nor did He take me on into the Cloud as He did when He talked to me of the judgment of His enemies. But I was very near to Him in the Cloud and He directed me to look.

When I looked He showed me a great many most wonderful houses but they were not at all like houses down here. They were like great, beautiful arches of light, each by itself distinctly separated one from the other. These treasures were for His people and there they would abide with Him. And indeed they were so beautiful they truly appeared like most wonderful riches for they were like glowing gems of purest celestial light of some material I could never explain. Nor could I see inside of these dwelling places.

There was a marked difference between the houses on the different spheres. Those on the same sphere were more or less of the same appearance and were of a great number, but those on a higher sphere were vastly different and far more wonderful. The highest sphere of all was so gloriously brilliant that I could only behold in amazing wonder without being able to describe it. Each separate sphere was most markedly different, superior, harmonious and far more brilliant than the sphere below it. So great was their light and so glorious their shining that they outshone the sun by far. Nevertheless, I could not ascertain the number of spheres or at least I cannot remember how many there were.

These arches—or domes of light—were not things separate from Him but they were a PART OF HIMSELF. This was the most surprising of all. They were parts of His very person. Each separate sphere was made up of a part of Himself but was such a different manifestation of Himself. Each higher sphere was so much superior and wonderful than the one before. I thought afterward of an illustration from my own mind to try to describe it: As though a young lady prepares herself in one way to work in the kitchen, in another way to go out for tea, but in still another way she beautifies herself to go out for an evening gala celebration.

"These are riches of Myself," He said, "and are most distinct one from the other. I have offered every one of these dwellings in every sphere to every one of My children. Although I have given to everyone the same opportunities, many will be satisfied and will resign themselves to lower spheres because they do not want any more of Me. Each one will reach the place that his heart truly desires which will be given to him. Because some do not want to make the effort to reach out for any more they will have no more for they do not want any more.”

As He showed me the most glorious mansions on the highest sphere He said, “These will be given to those who have sought for Me alone, who have not sought for these riches but have sought to be with Me. Even though they have not sought for any of these I am going to give them as a gift because they greatly desired to be more and more at My side and to be with Me. Those who are conformists and do not want to make any more effort did not really desire to be with Me as much as they desired My blessings and My riches. They have loved Me and I have loved them and these dwelling places are for those who truly desired and sought for Me to be at My side. This was their will and their desire and it shall be given unto them." Then He further said that although it was their will it also was His will for them, that He had willed it to be so for them and therefore it was so. He had ordered it to be and there-fore it was.

War Against the Saints

On the 14th of October as I went to prayer in the evening I felt very ill in body but I knew that this was only another attack from the enemy. I pushed it aside and after a while the Lord came telling me that He loved me as I felt His love flow all over me. Again He told me not to fear. Not one time has He failed to repeat these things to me and I know that I could not enter on in if He did not say them. Without these words I would be too afraid—even terrified. They seem to calm my whole inner being and bring such a deep sense of security and rid me completely of all the fears I bring in from the lower world. So He always takes time to say these things, never tiring of repeating them with such tenderness, love and penetrating force.

He then carried me away to where He was in His great Glory Cloud, not in a state of agitation nor wrath but with normal, intense inner activity. Nor did He take me on into the Cloud this time.

There were also a great multitude of His high angels with Him, those who belong to this sphere, but of late the angels do not call my attention except that they are present; it is what He says to me that is of the greatest importance. He draws all my attention unto Himself or unto the vision of something He is showing to me else-where. The angels are just there as part of the heavenly background.

When He told me to look I looked below and there covering the earth was His Cloud of Glory. He Himself had drawn very near though He was not yet upon the earth. It was the time when He had gone down to the earth but was not yet upon the earth, the same time He had showed me once before when He waited in the Cloud a while poised above the earth. I was informed that this was the same time.

Below the Cloud I saw a number of the most terrible, ferocious animal-like beings like lions but they were not lions. In appearance they were very furious, huge, terribly inflated and exceedingly evil and powerful. He told me that these were the devils upon the earth who had gone down there in their exceeding rage because they now knew that their time was very short. Their increased and inflamed rage was the reason for their swelling themselves into their greatest size and power. I saw that these were mixing themselves among the people of the Lord who were then upon the earth.

These great, evil animals were so horrifying I felt dread of their making war against the people of God. They could not wound them or do them any injury but they worried and wearied them greatly being able to disperse them so that they could in no way unite themselves any more. In their wrath they raised themselves up in much war against the saints and against the One in the Cloud. He explained to me that this was the enemy’s last time and opportunity to be able to hurt or weary the saints and He was taking full advantage of it, ceasing not all the while in fury and warring of greatest rage and power.

All this time He was very close to earth in His Cloud and was watching all things with the greatest care. Though He was very, very near, His people could not yet see Him. Then there came the moment when it seemed that His people could no longer withstand the onslaughts of the enemy. When it seemed that there was no more hope or any way to be able to withstand more and His people were almost overcome and had no remedy at all in themselves, then suddenly, in an instant, with a great rushing and a great violence His Cloud descended upon the earth. At that moment the devils all dis-inflated at His very approach and I could see them no more at all. He had gone down unto His people and was with them forever. I know that He never shows me any devils at all in their true form. He only talks to me about them for it would be too horrible for me to live with the memory of their true horror. Even when He talks to me about His enemies it leaves a dread and horror. He only shows them to me as furious, raging, immense, lion-like beasts and even that sight fills me with awful dread.

The Sea of Fire

After a most difficult fight with heavy oppressions I was able to enter into quietness and His presence. After a while of worship He came and took me away into the Spirit telling me of His love and letting His love flow through my whole being. After saying that I was to have no fear and being especially sweet and tender in His love, He then took me away to the high sphere in the heavens where He dwells in His great Cloud. With Him was a great host of His high angels and a great multitude of His redeemed ones, also, but He did not call my attention to them.

When He told me to look I looked and there far below upon the earth I saw again the same scene as yesterday. His Cloud was there hovering just above the earth. Those same devils as raging beasts, extremely ugly, dark and totally light-less were also there. They were nauseating to the sight, were huge in size and filled to the utmost with furious rage and went about hurting all they could and desiring to devour all. I saw, also, the dispersed of the Lord. Suddenly some of those who were the Lighted Ones—and belonged to Him—dis-appeared and I could see them no longer. Yet a still larger number of those who appeared to be lighted-ones stayed there upon the earth and were no more lighted. They no longer appeared as belonging to Him but were joined to the throng of those who belonged unto the evil ones.

He spoke saying, “In that day many shall run unto me for refuge but they shall not find it for they are not mine own ones. They were false and were deceivers and I have permitted them to be so. They have even deceived themselves but they were never mine and I have known them all the while. They were not of the Light but only tried to reflect the light.”

This surprised me greatly for I had seen them all before and my eyes could not distinguish them from the true Lighted Ones while they were together. Only when they were separated did their light disappear. When He spoke again He told me that there would be no mercy for them at all for they were deceivers and would all be destroyed. His own Lighted Ones were lifted up from amongst them and the others were left behind.

Then I saw the Cloud that was just above the earth begin to change itself, filling with great violence and becoming like a raging sea of fire mixed with angry, vengeful blood. It was like a volcano turned inside out, for the fire was angry and terrible but it looked more like terrible, boiling liquid rather than great flames. The Cloud was churning and raging in a violence that was most dreadful to behold.

Suddenly this volcano precipitated itself like an immense bomb falling upon those below, covering them and completely engulfing them all. Evil men and devil-beasts were all swallowed up in the raging flood which covered them entirely, burying them in that great sea of raging fire that riled and boiled in immense fury. The size of this sea was immense and the inner violence and rage never ceased.

I looked and saw that all of His own Lighted Ones were with Him, all of His people great and small, and they were beholding this great sight. I found myself, also, beholding this most terrible destruction and fully approving it. Awful as it was, I felt that it was just and right and these deserved no mercy at all.

He spoke again saying that all of His own would witness this sight. Just as I had seen it, so would it actually become and all of His own would behold it and be glad.

The Reigning Ones

I had a very severe attack from the enemy and it seemed that I could not bring my mind into faith and repose at all. Finally I had to rise up and begin to directly rebuke the enemy before I could get any relief at all. When I began to worship He came to me telling me that He was ever with me. Even when the enemy had so harassed my mind and He had seemed so far away, still He was right there with me. He told me that He loved me and bid me not to fear, then took me away in spirit. He did not talk as much with me as He sometimes does but took me directly to the place where I had been before—to the house of living stones.

What an immense house it is with so many rooms all different one from the other! This time He took me inside the top room which was so great in size. He was there in the great Cloud of Glory which appeared like gold all aflame and yet it was a cloud, too. I cannot explain it at all. Ever enfolding itself, it was like vaporized gold, all aflame with wonderful fires.

The walls of this room were not made of the living-stones like the rest of the house but were composed of great angels round about, the same angels who were as shining, living gems of various classes that I have seen before, the ones who always appear in this higher sphere. These made up the walls as glorious, living beings of great power and beauty.

Before the Cloud of gold I saw a limited number—too many to count yet not a great multitude—of flaming fires also of this same golden material but also like clouds. They seemed to be exactly like He was, the only difference being that they were smaller in size. Though very large, they were still not as large as He was. Otherwise they were exactly like Him in the cloud in all other respects.

Along the sides and round about the living fires I saw golden, flaming, living-stones made of the same material as the Cloud but unlike the other living-stones in that they were much larger and more aflame. Slightly smaller than the living fires, the living-stones were so aflame that they seemed to be ever consuming themselves yet never being consumed.

This great room—like a beautiful throne room in some tremendous palace—was so filled with glory that I can think of nothing in this world to even liken it. Such amazing beauty and wonders of sight and sound. Such blazing, radiant beauty that I was speechless and in such a state of wonder not comprehending at all the pure, scintillating glory of that wondrous place. I just can't think at all of how to begin to describe it.

Then He spoke saying that these—indicating the fires and the flaming stones—were just like He was and were a part of Himself. These fiery clouds and the flaming stones were specially loved and chosen by Him. No one else, no other living-stone, could ever enter into this place. The flaming stones would go out and minister unto the other stones but the cloud-fires would stay within with Him forever, ever reigning with Him. He further said that these beings, chosen by Him and specially loved, were those who had been made fully into His image, and that even now they were a very part of Himself.

These great beings were so far above all other beings, even far above all the angels. In truth, they were just like Him. I wondered greatly and could not understand and was greatly distressed in spirit because of what I had seen. He spoke to me quieting my spirit, "These things are true and shall shortly come to pass."

The Sleeping Plants

It was not a difficult battle to enter in today and His welcome was so wonderful when He came to me and took me into the Spirit. He spoke as always of His love, called me His bride and let His love flood me as He satisfied my whole being, taking away all fears by His word. These things He always does. If not, I know I would not be able to press on in past all the oppositions. He always makes it so worth all the effort. When He told me that I would bring glory unto His Name this thrilled me greatly and filled me with thanksgiving.

As He took me away unto His Glory Cloud He showed me a field all filled with many, many plants which were neither great plants nor tiny plants. I remember only that they were not at all like the plants seen upon the earth. All the whole field of plants looked dead; I could see no life at all in them. He spoke to me saying that they were not dead but only sleeping. As I looked again they still appeared dead.

He then told me that I must awaken these plants that were sleeping. He sent me unto them to tell them that they were not to sleep like that for He had already told them not to sleep but to stay awake. He wanted me to tell them that He was coming very soon and they must awaken. But still they appeared to be dead and not to hear.

Then I drew very near to these plants and spoke to them the words that He put into my mouth. “Awake! Awake!” I said, “for He has told you not to sleep because He is coming very shortly.” As I spoke these words something like a cloud of living substance came out from Him and completely covered, filled and penetrated each one of these sleeping plants. As I spoke and watched, these plants all awoke and sprang forth into life.

The Story of Annie

April of 1949—the month that revival began in Mendoza, Argentina—was also the month that Annie was born. Raised in a cultured home, all went fairly well with her until she was about sixteen at which time she entered into a most high state of rebellion and deep estrangement from her family. Going out into the world of sin, she became an actress in the theater where she came up through the ranks until she became the star of her company.

In spite of having everything she wanted in a fairly well-to-do family, and being able to do almost as she pleased, she still found neither love nor happiness. Hounded by the evil spirits of suicide, she attempted to take her life four times and was only spared because God so ordained it. Filled with deep rebellion, restlessness and consuming anxieties, she suffered inexplicable anguish and fear. Her problem was also compounded by cancerous growths that gave her much pain. For many months she could eat almost nothing and was often in intense pain as she was acting out her roles in the theater.

Seeking help in medicine and in psychiatry, her family spent a small fortune but all to no avail. Their desperation increased to the unbearable point after they had exhausted every possible means of help.

Just at this time a cousin invited her to accompany her to a certain church on Sunday morning. Out of courtesy she consented to go, but went in a high spirit of rebellion, dressed in a most flagrant manner. When she entered the church she challenged the pastor to throw her out and made it most clear that she was in no frame of mind to accept anything that he might want to tell her.

It happened that I was visiting the same church that morning, and when the Holy Spirit began to move over the people, He sent me to pray for this stranger who had entered an evangelical church for the first time in her life. Being totally agnostic, neither she nor her family knew anything at all about God or the Bible. Yet, from the first moment, God reached out His hand to her. Bowing low in deep repentance, Annie found the first measure of relief she had ever known. Returning to other services she was only partially released, for when she returned to her home all her problems returned just as before.

One Sunday morning several weeks later, God told me that He would bring her to the service that evening and that I was to insist that she return with me to Mar del Plata, for she could not receive full deliverance where she was.

“What an amazing order!” I thought to myself, “when I do not even know the young lady’s name.” As I talked with her that evening, I learned that her name was Anna Marie (Anna meaning “full of grace” and Marie—“bitterness and rebellion.”) When I asked her to come she was thoroughly amazed at the audacity of my demand and presented every possible excuse to keep from going. But even as she talked with me—she told me later—each excuse was refuted by a quiet voice within which convinced her that it was indeed possible for her to go. Surreptitiously packing her suitcase and slipping it out of the house, she quietly left the next morning without advising anyone of her going.

The first night in Peniel, God moved out to her delivering her from the fears and oppressions of the enemy, the spirit of suicide and all the other forces of hell that had bound her life. With great praise, high worship and strong faith as their weapons, the whole student body, together with the ministers, joined joyously and fiercely into the battle. Those evil ones that had raged against the Holy Son and His Spirit were conquered, fleeing before the light and glory of His presence as she cried, “I am free. I felt them all leave! ” And, of a truth, free she was.

The next night as we were singing, “Oh, the Blood of Jesus,” the Holy Spirit came to her in a glorious new birth. Glory, peace and joy washed into her soul as faith laid hold upon the cleansing stream of blood. Radiating joy she began to sing, dance and glorify the Lord. In a trance the Lord transported her into the heavenlies where she found herself ascending through strata's of light and darkness until she found herself in fullness of light.

The next night as a cleansed and empty vessel she was filled with the Holy Spirit. God so moved upon her in glory waves that she was transported into His presence and ended with peals of laughter—she who had formerly been so filled with anguish—until everyone was laughing gloriously with her. Even though she had never heard them

before, she sang all the choruses along with the others as if she had always known them.

Free, clean and filled with the glory of the Lord she moved out to minister to one and another of the needy ones without ever having heard about the anointing that flows out to others. Instinctively she knew, or rather was obedient to the direction of the Holy Spirit within. There was a beautiful deliverance.

Three weeks later God came to her and began a healing of her body. His fire came upon her and in two sessions which lasted about ten hours she was literally operated upon by God, bringing up out of her body great quantities of putrefaction and pieces of the vile growth that had laid hold upon her. Finally, she was almost choked by a part of the growth that was hard, rubbery and white and was about five inches in girth. It seemed that she could not pass it up through her throat. But the fire of God so increased within her that one young lady who touched her burned her fingers. Suddenly as she made a great effort, this huge growth literally popped through her throat and mouth. Through the operation of the Divine Surgeon upon her small body she brought up some four quarts of putrefaction.

From the very first, her life was one of total commitment and love for her Savior as He placed within her an insatiable desire to seek His presence daily. The Lord told us that she was a very special but fragile vessel and that He had purposes of ministry for her. From the first He took her into His world and showed her things up there. The visions and trances continued for a while before we realized that these were more than normal visions that He gives to any one of His children from time to time. From the beginning as she sought the Lord, giving more and more time to personal, private prayer apart from the regular meetings, God began to take her in an ecstasy into the heavenly world and show her many things. At first He showed her most specific things which in the months that followed took place exactly as He had shown her.

Finally, God spoke to me to write these things down. As I began to do so in obedience to Him, I realized that He was speaking to us in a new and unique way.

It is of special note that Annie had never read the Bible before coming to us, neither has she received any religious teaching of any type. Her lack of knowledge of all that refers to God was total. Nevertheless, the visions are extraordinarily exact and in conformity to Bible teaching. It is also important to note that she never comes willingly or exaltedly to tell her visions, or shows any pride in the telling of them. To the contrary, with an extreme reluctance even involving deep fears, great pain and many tears she brings these things to light. It is also noteworthy that she cannot tell them in a flippant or easy manner. Only after a time of prayer as the presence of the Lord draws near does she even want to talk of them. They are too high and holy to be able to casually put them into the thought and tongue of man. Although they are brought forth in much travail and the pain of that travail, there is a “must” of the Lord laid upon her. She would avoid telling them if she could but she cannot. She also would desire to stay in the heavenlies and not return, but when she asked the Lord about it, He told her that He had healed her because He wanted her to stay here and do a work for Him.

She fears greatly lest she err in any of these things. Knowing so little of the Bible or of its doctrine, she is in great fear and almost panic that somehow she has been mistaken in something, and with great reluctance she brings them forth so that they can be proved. The Lord told her that she must bring them to me so that I may approve and judge them, which she does, bringing everything to light that He shows to her. She is most transparent.

In the earlier days after her conversion, the visions meant nothing at all to her, for she could not even understand the symbolisms, knowing nothing of the Bible or of God’s ways. At that time, the only things she knew were what she saw and heard up there. She only knew that He had showed it to her and commanded her to tell it to us. This ignorance brought her great oppressions, but now she has progressed in her knowledge to where God now shows her in a trance and vision a specific church or person. She has traveled with us to minister in those churches and there tells what God shows her regarding that church. This has brought much blessing.

Annie is a very lovely, yet religiously ignorant, child upon whom the hand of the Lord lays heavily. She who before was so filled with rebellion that even the psychiatrists marveled is now so obedient and submissive unto the Lord and unto us, her pastors, that we often marvel. Because of His word to us to take her into our home as our own daughter, we have watched her life at the closest point of observation —the home. And still she proves out to be just what she is: a genuine

prophetess and seeress taught of the Lord who speaks forth the word of the Lord in much fear and trembling. So fearful is she of erring and somehow "missing it” that there has been no room for pride and self-exaltation to enter in. God has protected her from this tremendous snare by so filling her with the fear of the Lord and the fear of erring in the things of the Lord that it is actually painful to her spirit and soul and a constant wall about her to save her from herself. Apart from this she is a very normal person for her age. She doesn't walk around with a halo, as it were, nor with a religious holier-than-thou attitude. She likes to play and share life with others normally.

We of the Argentine church who have been privileged to watch her growth in the Lord from the closest vantage point have been edified and inspired by His work in her. Her life is so transparent—she never hides from us what she is thinking or going through, but in honesty and transparency she bares her soul. We have been challenged anew in an even deeper realization of the supreme importance of daily hiding away to seek His presence and to hear His words.

Her growth has not always been easy nor without heavy enemy opposition. directly or indirectly. Nevertheless, the fruit of His work in these few months of her life in Him has drawn us all nearer to the One who for years we have loved, and has given us a fresh and refreshing quickening of the Scriptures which we have read many times. There has come a renewed decision and dedication to seek Him while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near.

This book has been prepared with the prayer that the sharing of these visions will cause you to love and seek Him even more, and make even more real that invisible—yet, very real—city to which as pilgrims and strangers we press.
