Training for God’s Kingdom
Rick Joyner posted this Word for the Week and it really spoke to me. It’s so good that I don’t want to paraphrase it – the way he says these things rings with truth. I have respect for Rick and the many years he has ministered wisdom to the body of Christ to know the ways of God. This is a classic example of how he shares the wisdom he has received from the Lord. So here are Rick’s words:
From the book of Revelation, we can see that the entire church—and the world—will go through great troubles before His coming kingdom. These tribulations are for the purpose of helping the church, and then the world, enter the kingdom of God. As the apostle Paul said in Acts 14:22, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” So, tribulations are a gateway to the kingdom for us, and ultimately for the whole world.
[Wow, think about that! Have you ever thought of your tribulations as a gate to the kingdom?! My, my, my – and not just for us as believers, but for the whole world. (my thoughts)]
The Lord said, “In the world you will have tribulation” (see John 16:33). Everyone in the world has tribulations, but as Christians, we can have the great advantage of understanding their purpose and using them to enter the kingdom of God. We’re called to live in the kingdom of God now, not just in the next life. As we’re told in Hebrews 12, the kingdom of God cannot be shaken, so if we build our lives on His kingdom, we will not shake when “everything that can be shaken will be shaken.” That time is upon us, and the Lord is using trials to help us establish our lives on solid ground. This is not just so that we won’t be lost, but so we can pull others out of the quicksand this world is becoming.
We’re called to live in the kingdom of God now, not just in the next life. – Rick Joyner
If we understand our trials, it is easier to derive the maximum benefit from them. This can also make the trials easier to endure, as we know that the Creator and sustainer of all things has promised He will not let us be tested beyond what we are able to endure. For this reason, when we are getting close to the point where we don’t think we can take anymore, we know that the end of the trial is near.
This being understood, we know that the Lord knows much better than we do what we can take. If we trust Him, even when we get to this place we don’t think we can take any more, the longer we can endure at this point, the more our capacity will grow.
As Francis Frangipane used to say, “We never fail one of God’s tests; we just keep taking them until we pass.” If we give up prematurely, we just have to take the test again. So, don’t give up! In Luke 21:19, the Lord said, “By your endurance you will gain your lives.”
As we’re told in Hebrews 12, the kingdom of God cannot be shaken, so if we build our lives on His kingdom, we will not shake when “everything that can be shaken will be shaken.” That time is upon us…. – Rick Joyner
In Hebrews 10:36, we are exhorted, “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.” Hang on just a little longer, and it will be over. If we endure, we don’t have to keep going through the same trials over and over. As James wrote, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance, and let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing” (James 1:2-4).
As Winston Churchill said, “When you’re going through hell, keep going.” The book of Revelation reveals how trials are a part of every life on earth, and the earth will go through them until the end of the age to come. As we mature, the trials are no longer just for our maturing, but so we learn to help bear the burdens of others until they can stand. Then, they start to help others. This is when we don’t just have to just count the trials as joy; they truly become joy as we see the victories.
“We never fail one of God’s tests; we just keep taking them until we pass.” -Francis Frangipane
Jesus could have taken His authority over the earth immediately after His resurrection and bound the devil then. He had paid the price to redeem us and the whole earth, so why didn’t He do this and make it easier for us? He did not want it to be easy. If we’re going to be the overcomers He speaks to in the book of Revelation, we have to get the “easy” mentality out of our thinking. He wanted it to be hard so that those who were called to rule with Him could be proven, and have their capacities enlarged, so they could reign standing firmly on His kingdom authority, not their own.
There is a saying that, “If we do not have the experience of growing wealth, we will not have the wisdom to keep it.” This has proven to be true, and it is also true with authority. If we do not have the experience of growing and maturing in kingdom authority, we will not be able to maintain it. Our trials are “training for reigning,” so don’t waste them!
I hope you enjoyed this Word for the Week from Rick Joyner. Did you ever think, Why is life so hard?!! Well, now you know! 😆 We have to remove “easy” from our mentality if we want to be training for reigning, like Rick says. It IS true – trials shake you free from your attachment to earthly things and expectations of what life “should” look like for you. That enables you to start focusing on what cannot be shaken – God’s kingdom, doing things God’s way. It is very hard to go through this process – it’s painful and causes disillusionment with everything you thought you knew about life. But if you can endure, you gain something priceless – proven character to actually sit with Jesus on His throne in the kingdom. He said, “To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” (Revelation 3:21).
I hope to see you there – sitting with Jesus on His throne – because that’s where I will be! 🙂
Feel free to comment below – I know this is a deep, heavy kind of post. One that may challenge you and that you may not want to hear. I trust Holy Spirit will enlighten your heart in the knowledge of truth and help you receive whatever you need to know to endure the current trial you are in. God bless you. 💗
Learning to Hear God’s Voice
Whenever someone tells me they want to draw closer to God, one of my first questions is about whether they know how to discern God’s voice. Learning the language of the Spirit is like learning another language – it takes time and practice! You can pray all day and fast and read Scripture, but there has to be two way communication in order to build a RELATIONSHIP with God. It cannot be one sided!
In fact, I remember when I was a child and someone said from a pulpit that Jesus was our best friend and we should talk to him all day long. In my mind, my reply was, Well, He better talk to me too! No one talked about hearing from God so I didn’t say what I was thinking for fear of being labeled disrespectful. I guess most people just assumed it was a one way thing – you talk and God listens. I remember when I started to hear from God and I told my dad. He said, That’s preposterous! God only talks to holy men in the mountains. He was raised Greek Orthodox and there are special mountains where the priests go to hear from God.
Guess what? God still speaks! And you can know when God is speaking to you. Did you ever notice that almost every story in the Bible revolves around someone hearing from God? It’s important when God speaks to you and you should write down what He says! It also means He talks to a lot of people so why wouldn’t He talk to you too? 😊
If you want some step-by-step instructions, here is a course I can recommend to help you get started.
Developing a Close Relationship with God: A Simple Method – link to course
If you need encouragement and hope to develop a close relationship with God – that’s what this course provides. If you took the course, you’d learn how to focus so you can pay attention to God without distractions. You’d also learn to recognize His voice and become familiar with the different ways that God communicates. You’d practice recording what God has said to you each day. This would give you confidence to take action on what He tells you to do. That’s quite an adventure! Lastly, you’d have a new appreciation of what it means to really TRUST God.
It’s very short – like 15 minutes a week for 4 weeks. And it’s not expensive. You can listen to it while you drive or even when you exercise. It provides simple exercises to help you interact with God.
Recently a reader of this blog sent me this message about the course:
My husband and I just completed this course. It is concise and we feel so comforted and confirmed that our personal experiences with God are true! At our church, no one shares how they communicate personally with God. I learned by asking God to help me discern which voice is His, which voice is mine and which voice is the enemy (or accuser). This course gave us confirmation of our experience with Holy Spirit.
It is very important to learn how to tell the difference between God’s voice, your own voice and the enemy’s voice. If you need help with that, read this post: God’s Voice vs Other Voices: How Can You Tell the Difference?
If you have learned to hear God voice already, please comment on this post – that way we can all learn from each other!

Why Can’t I See or Hear in the Spirit?
Rainbow Circle of Light 🌈
I had an amazing encounter with God this week and I’d like to share it with you. I was with a group of intercessors when we had this experience together. It was life-changing – it shifted my perspective about our purpose on the earth.
As we were waiting on the Lord after taking communion, we saw ourselves sitting on the ground in a circle inside one of the chambers of the Father’s heart. It was like a cavern with soft lighting. There was a strong sense of peace and safety there.
The Lord brought to our minds the story of Moses when he turned aside from his day-to-day life and observed the burning bush. The Lord used the burning bush to get Moses’s attention and then he had an encounter with God. It was the light of the fire that got his attention.
I looked at the people sitting in the circle and we each had different colors, based on the frequency of who God is in us. First I saw a light blue light, then a purple light, and somebody else had a green light. Our brightness was increasing, becoming bolder, revealing more. It looked kind of like the light in light sabers. There was bright light in the center, but the glow around each light was different shades – blue, green, purple, etc. I also saw colors in the air around us, crackling like lightning.
Then we stood up and took each other’s hands and we became this rainbow circle of light. When our lights combined, one beam of light shot straight up like a spotlight. It was HUGE compared to our individual lights.
We saw this happening around the world as other lights were also rising up. The amount of light was increasing all over the earth as more lights appeared and were getting brighter.
We received the insight that when the light gets brighter, it reveals things – darkness can no longer hide. It becomes obvious what is not real, what is not true. This light reveals truth – what’s real and good and perfect and beautiful. The Light exposes lies, and the darkness flees.
Darkness has to flee in the face of all the colors of the truth.
We are the sons and daughters of the light, with all the colors of the rainbow becoming the beam of God’s love and truth from His heart.
We started singing, “This huge light divine, we’re gonna let it shine!” 😁
Then we were reminded of the story of Moses and the burning bush again. We realized that we can be a visitation to other people that don’t know God yet!
We carry the tangible sense of His presence, His peace, His joy, His love. They don’t know it’s going to happen until we encounter them, and something touches their heart and they turn aside. We just carry that presence, that goodness, that touch of heaven and it’s like the burning bush. It gets their attention.
There are some people walking on the earth right now that are literally just glowing with God’s light like a high wattage light bulb. There are other people who are not glowing with that light. Maybe they have a little bit of light, a little bit of truth, a little flame inside of them and when they encounter somebody that’s glowing, it encourages the light in them. It makes it easier for them to see things more clearly, to see what’s good and what’s not good for them.
Those that are carrying that bright light, it lights up wherever they go. And wherever there is light, there is greater clarity, truth, understanding and all kinds of good benefits. Because when you’re in the dark, you don’t know what to do. But when somebody who has the light walks in – all of a sudden you can see clearly!
Wherever we are positioned geographically, we are shining with that light, and the people that encounter us, encounter that light. And it’s not just geographically, but also relationally, because we have friends and family in other places, and when they interact with us, they interact with that light.
It’s not something we DO, it’s who we ARE. We are glowing through our union with God. He’s in our heart and we are in His heart. You can’t help but shine, even when you are having a bad day. 😉
Thank you, Lord, that we get to be You on the earth, representing Your goodness, Your love, Your truth. What a privilege!💕
✨✨ Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with Father’s glory! ✨✨
Have you ever seen yourself as a pillar of light on the earth? Which color do you think you radiate? (It’s probably more than one.) Can you imagine someone encountering God when they encounter you like Moses did at the burning bush? 😲
Feel free to share your thoughts below – I’d love to hear what you think about this. Did it shift your perspective like it did mine?
Remember: You can’t help but shine, even when you are having a bad day. You light up the world around you, just by being you! 💗🌈 😊
How to See in the Spirit
Last night I was in a prayer meeting and one of the ladies (JC) asked how she could see in the spirit. Often when we would pray together as a group, someone would say what they saw. This was challenging for her. She did not see things in the spiritual realm and didn’t know how to develop this ability.
Before we started praying, I briefly shared some things with her. This morning I received a message from JC saying,
Thank you for your tips on how to connect my hearing sense with my seeing sense. It was so good for me – I experienced some breakthroughs (she gave examples). Thank you so much, I am blessed! Glory to the Father! Thank Him for letting me move forward little by little.
Here are the things I shared with her – in case they might help you too.
First, what is your strongest sense? Do you see, hear or feel? Most of us perceive the unseen realm of God’s kingdom by one of these senses. I’m primarily a feeler. JC said she is primarily a hearer.
I encouraged her to focus on what is already comfortable for her – hearing. Then when someone else describes what they see, imagine that scene in your mind and see if the Lord will let you hear something that relates to what the other person is seeing. Imagine what you are hearing. This helps to connect the two senses.
Don’t focus on what you can’t do – focus on what you CAN do. Then share it with the group. Even if it seems very small or insignificant. What you focus on will grow. It also validates it for your mind.
Our mind (natural man) often questions what our spirits perceive. Our mind is used to being in charge and interpreting the world around us based on our 5 natural senses, right? So when you start using your spiritual senses, the mind tries to jump in and take charge. It often questions what you are perceiving and tries to convince you that you are wrong or stupid or even crazy. It creates doubt (the opposite of faith).
When you express what you are sensing in the spirit, it feels like a big risk. You risk being seen as foolish or sounding crazy. But guess what? When you say out loud what you are sensing, it validates it in your mind. It makes it easier to accept, which builds your faith and opens you up to sensing even more! It is honoring the Lord by honoring what He is showing you.
As you do that, your senses get sharper and they begin to work together. As JC practiced last night, by focusing her listening skills, she suddenly got visual pictures! She told me that some of the things she saw seemed impossible. But she told herself to accept it. After she did that, someone else in the group would describe the same thing she was seeing – confirmation! She was ecstatic! That meant she wasn’t crazy or just making things up (which is what the natural mind wants you to think).
Saying out loud what you are sensing brings it from the unseen realm into the seen realm. It brings it from the kingdom realm into the natural realm. It connects the two realms in our natural reality which makes it feel or seem more real. It IS real, but our minds often discount it because it’s from the spirit. This teaches our natural mind how to receive and accept the things from the spirit.
Here’s another exercise you can do to practice seeing:
- Look around the room you are in. Then close your eyes and imagine the room. Look around it in your mind’s eye. How much detail can you see? Practice this a few times until you can clearly see as much detail as possible.
- Ask Holy Spirit to show you where to look in the room. Focus on that area with your eyes still closed. Ask Him to show you something from the unseen realm. Wait and see what He shows you. Then ask Him to explain what you are seeing and He will.
I did this exercise with a friend and she saw an angel in my living room. Sometimes people have told me they see other things with this exercise like a portal or an item like a sword or a tree.
“A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here waiting our response to His Presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.” – A. W Tozer, The Pursuit of God
Let me know what tips have helped you to develop your spiritual senses. Comment below so we can all learn from each other. When you do the exercise I described above, please share what you saw. If you see anything dark or scary, ask Jesus, “Where are You in this picture?” Then focus on Jesus and watch what He does. 🙂

The Pain Is Gone! 😲
A few nights ago I was on the phone with a older Christian woman. She mentioned that her knees had been really hurting in the last two weeks and that her legs were very stiff. She has had leg stiffness and knee pain every day for the last year, but although she has been exercising and losing weight, the pain was getting worse not better.
We were both puzzled by this. As we were discussing what she could do to alleviate her pain, I had a sudden inspiration. I asked her, “Have you considered blessing your body each day?” I had heard a friend share this idea last year – the power our words have on our bodies and how we need to honor the body God gave us.
She said, “Yes, I could do that. But I suddenly realized that I need to repent for the way I have not always taken good care of my body in the past.” She started praying right then and there, “Father, I am sorry for not always taking good care of this body you gave me. I am grateful for the way this body has served me and allowed me to do so many things. Please forgive me for times I have misused it.”
Then she began to bless her body and suddenly she saw Pain as a spirit that was tormenting her. So she said, “Pain, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus! Go!”
She finished her prayer and we continued to talk.
Then she stood up to see what was the result of her prayer. She was shocked! She told me, “The pain is gone! Wow!! Thank you, Lord!” Then she sat back down and we talked some more. Then she decided to walk around. Again, she was incredulous, “There’s no more stiffness in my legs – they are SO loose! This is amazing!! Thank you, Jesus!!” 😲😍
It was so much fun to hear her joy! She had been in pain every single day for over a year. Can you imagine how freeing it must have been for the pain to simply leave?
“You know, if someone else had asked me to pray for their body because they were in pain, I would have probably prayed like that for them. But it never occurred to me to pray for my own body that way. Thank you for encouraging me to do that,” she said.
“You’re welcome. Thank you, Lord, for bringing that to mind! I think that’s part of having compassion on ourselves in the same way we would have compassion on someone else,” I replied.
The Lord has been talking to me lately about anticipating His goodness. What does it look like? Can we train our minds to anticipate a good outcome instead of worrying about bad things happening? He has been challenging me to reach out and grasp His goodness. Sometimes it feels easier to have faith for someone else, but right now, He wants me to pay attention and do this for myself. It’s a form of self-compassion – learning to receive His goodness toward me.
What areas of your life is God challenging you to anticipate His goodness toward you? Sometimes we need to start with repenting of Unbelief in His goodness in order to open our hearts up to receiving more from Him. I know I do. Lord, what do you imagine for my future? In what ways is Unbelief in Your goodness holding me back?
Please comment below – your insight might inspire someone else to open their heart to receive more of God’s goodness today!

Rebellion Breaks Strongholds – What?!
Yesterday I awoke at 5am and these words came to my mind in pairs.
Indolence -> Diligence
Complacency -> Determination
Distraction -> Clarity
Apathy -> Action
Tolerance -> Intolerance
Indifference -> Vigilance
Passion moves you from one to the other. Zeal enables you to take action. Zeal is when passion in your spirit leaks over into your soul energizing you to take action! 🔥
“The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.”
Thomas Jefferson, 1834
Once you start taking action, the very next wall you hit is –
Discouragement -> Encouragement
Don’t let anyone diss your courage to move toward Change. 🙂
True change requires perseverance – and it’s worth it!
So where does the energy come from to break out of patterns of distraction and complacency, laziness and indifference? Passion is the fire that starts the movement, but a great way to use that spark is to focus on REBELLION!
Wait, what?! I thought rebellion is a bad thing. “Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft” and all that. (I Samuel 15:23)
Yes, if you rebel against the Lord it IS bad. But what if you use that same mindset and energy to REBEL against complacency, apathy and distraction? What if you say to yourself, “Enough is enough! I’m sick of how things are turning out and it’s time for change!!“
Rebel against laziness and distraction by being diligent and clear about what you want to see changed. Ask the Lord for wisdom and determination to take action daily. And when you feel discouraged that things aren’t changing fast enough, ask Him for more passion and courage to persevere. You WILL see the change you desire. Hang in there!
Yesterday I heard in my spirit, The spirit of this age is the spirit of Distraction. Wow – that’s so true! And when you are distracted, you can’t focus on what’s important. You can easily get lulled into complacency, tolerating things in your life that you really don’t want.
It’s funny – we hear two strong messages in today’s world: Don’t settle! and Being intolerant is bad!
But if you tolerate what you don’t want in your life, that means you are settling for less! So there are times when being tolerant is bad for you. Until you decide that you will no longer tolerate indifference, you will remain complacent.
Yes, these words are all related.
What I saw was like a net, where each of these words connected to one another, creating a stronghold in our minds that made it seem very hard to move forward toward healthy change and growth.
I pray that TODAY you have the passion to start rebelling against the powers that are holding you down. It’s just a net – it only has the power you give it. Your hands are not tied, there’s no gag in your mouth. You can untangle yourself from this net and have clarity, diligence and determination to take action. Stay vigilant and watch out for any thoughts that try to diss your courage! 🔥💗🙂
Jesus and I believe in you – go do it!
Communion – In Remembrance of Him
This week I took communion with some friends as we were praying and seeking the Lord. It was very powerful and we were enjoying the Lord’s tangible presence among us.
The Lord gave us a revelation about His body and blood, the elements of communion. During communion, we take the bread as it represents His body broken for us. But today on the earth, WE are His body, broken for those who are looking for the bread of life. It is our lives poured out (like His blood was poured out) in sacrificial love to care for those around us who need patience or kindness.
After we said to the Lord, Thank You for Your sacrifice, for Your body that was broken for us. He then said to us, Thank you for being broken for those in the world that need to see My love and My goodness through your compassion and sacrificial love – by being patient with someone or kind when it’s not easy.
This is how we do communion in remembrance of him – by showing the Father’s goodness to others. This demonstrates our union with Him. We serve them the communion that we have received. Isn’t that beautiful? ❤️
For those who want to experience more of the presence of Christ, I encourage you to take communion at home. It’s not just a practice for church settings. In fact, the very first communion was in a home, as the disciples were sitting around the table after a meal.
Do you take communion in places other than at church? If so, please comment below and share your experience with us. 🙂
Water Responds to Love: Jennifer’s Story
I have a very cool story to share with you today! A friend of mine, Jennifer, recently shared this story and I was blown away – this is LOVE in Action!
On this blog we discuss our authority as believers in Jesus Christ. As He is, so are we in this world, right? (I John 4:17) We have authority to help creation prosper and cooperate with the needs of God’s children. Authority comes from knowing who we are as children of God (aka sons of God) and taking our place to help govern the earth as Adam and Eve were commanded to do.
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis 1:26-28 NKJV
The authority we carry comes from Love. Jennifer was learning about this and decided to put it into action. Here’s her story:
My husband built our home in 2018. When he was starting to finish the basement, I heard the Lord say he should wait to finish it off because the basement is going to take on water and there will be damage. I told the Lord, “You know he is not going to listen to me.” Out of fear and not taking responsibility, I kept silent. Every spring when the snow melts, our basement has taken on water and made a mess for me to clean.
In spring of 2023 I repented and said, “Lord, I really should have taken responsibility for that and said something, even if he hadn’t listened to me. What can be done, Lord?” The Lord has led me to speak to the water. Not in a demanding way, but in a loving way. I said, “Water, I really love and appreciate you and you are needed in the earth, but do you think you could go around the basement instead of through it?” I went on to explain that I’m a son of God and how much work it was causing for me – how it was preventing me from having a clean and comfortable home for my loved ones. So far in Spring of 2024, the basement is dry! Praise the Lord!! – Jennifer V., Maine
WOW! I love stories like this because they are so real and practical. She had a mess on her hands EVERY SINGLE YEAR. She was frustrated. She didn’t know what to do. So she asked the Lord and realized she needed to repent for not saying what He told her. She took responsibility and asked the Lord for help and He gave her a creative solution!
This is an exciting time to be alive as more and more people are learning how to work WITH creation as partners in taking care of each other. Creation was made for us and it respects us when we are acting in Love and in accordance with God’s will.
Notice that she did not demand that the water obey her. She honored the water and it’s place. She asked it to simply help her keep her basement dry for her family. I think that’s awesome! I never would have thought of that, would you?
I’m curious as to how this actually happens – that her basement stays dry. Are there angels redirecting the water away from the basement? Is the water itself moving away? Is the soil around the basement shifting so as the snow melts, it runs in a different direction, away from the basement?
Regardless of how it happens, she is thrilled that it IS happening and no more wet basement! Thank you, Lord, for giving us authority as your sons and daughters!
Do you have an experience of talking to creation and having it respond to you? Please share it below! I love to hear these kinds of testimonies because they stretch our faith and help us think outside the box.
Angel appears – Zaps my laptop!
Guess what happened to me the other night? An angel zapped my laptop!
I was in a Zoom meeting with several other people, waiting on God to see what the Lord would show us about Himself and His kingdom. As we did, different members saw us together with Jesus in a garden. Then a door opened and a company of angels started marching out. They were full of Light.
Someone saw Jesus talking to the angels and assigning some of them to each of us. We thanked the Lord for sending them to us, to assist us in establishing His kingdom and His will in the earth.
Suddenly I sensed a very strong presence of an angel right there in my office. He was standing directly in front on me so I turned my head toward him to discern why he was there. Here’s the screen shot from the Zoom meeting. That’s me in the blue shirt with the beach scene behind me, turning my attention away from the screen.
Suddenly my computer started making a LOUD alarming sound that wouldn’t stop! I have never heard a computer make that kind of continuous sound before. I tried pressing the Esc key and then I tried pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete, but it didn’t respond. The screen was frozen and so was my mouse, so I held down the power button until it shut off.
What just happened, I thought. I was sensing a new angel here in my office and suddenly my laptop is freaking out!
I tried to restart my laptop but it was very hot to the touch on the bottom so I shut it down again to let it cool off. I rejoined the meeting on my phone and found out I wasn’t the only one who had experienced problems. Another member of the group also suddenly had tech difficulties and had to shut down her computer and rejoin the meeting using her phone. She also mentioned problems with the sound.
As the meeting continued, I tried to calm down and refocus my attention on the Lord. I asked Him about this new angel. I heard, He is here to serve you. And I saw gold glitter in the space where he had been standing.
The next night I was working on a painting in my office and sensing the angelic realm around me. It was getting late, so I took the dog out for a potty break before heading to bed. As we stepped out the front door, I saw a round rainbow around my front lamp post.
The rainbow was a perfect circle of red on the outside and I looked to see if I could see all 7 colors – they were not in rings, but more like looking inside a crystal prism. They were sparkling and winking and moving, especially the yellow and green. It was so bright and beautiful! I pulled out my phone to try and capture the effect, but it was fading and the phone could not see all the colors I could with my eyes. I noticed the air was cool and very moist. I blinked several times, realizing that seeing this effect was probably not “normal”. Was it the water vapor in the air refracting the light from the lamp post? I looked at other nearby lights on the neighbor’s houses. None of them had this rainbow effect. But the light from them was in a star pattern and they were also twinkling and moving. It was wild!
When I looked back at my lamp post, all I could see was the star pattern. I tried to capture it on my phone’s camera and you can kind of see what I mean.
Energy shifts things in the natural realm. The angel appearing in my office definitely shifted something and freaked out my laptop. By the way, it’s fine now – I’m writing on it right now with no problems. Energy was also shifted in the rainbow effect from my lamp post. Light was being refracted, but why could I only see it around the lamp and not any other lights? It reminded me of the scripture in Revelation 4 where it says there’s a rainbow around the throne of God that sparkles like an emerald.
I’m hoping to get more information about this experience, but for now, I just wanted to share it because it’s not every day that an angel’s appearance zaps your computer! Has anything like this ever happened to you? Feel free to share in the comments below.
By the way, here’s the photo I tried to take of the rainbow circle of light around the lamp – you can see the circle, but not the colors. It was so cool to see the colors! 🌈
I Googled this effect, it’s called corona phenomenon. Sometimes you can see it around the moon at night. Here’s a photo someone captured of a corona around a light post. That’s what mine looked like!
Pain Is a Love Song💕
Recently I was discussing with a friend the random insights I get from the Lord. She laughed and said, “Me too! It happens all the time – I get some random deep insight and I don’t know what to do with it.” We both laughed and I said, “Sometimes I feel like a walking encyclopedia of random spiritual insights because there are so many and they seem unrelated to each other.” She could relate. So here’s one I got recently – maybe it will help you. Or maybe just file it away until you need it. Start your own collection of Random Spiritual Insights (RSIs). 😂
Random Spiritual Insight #47:
The Lord showed me that every pain that we suffer in our physical bodies is a love song of our sacrificial love for Him. Life on earth is HARD and yet we chose to come to earth because we love Him and His kingdom – just as He loved the Father and chose to come to earth to fulfill the Father’s plan.
I do my best to listen to my body and take care of it, but when I’ve tried everything and still I suffer, I am reminded that I am a living sacrifice for Him and He appreciates that. ❤️
He also reminds me that He provides all that I need as I need it, so if my body isn’t functioning as well as I’d like, I don’t have to worry about it. If I need it to do something, He will provide what is needed WHEN I need it. 😊 He’s so good. 😍
