I was asked,
“Do you believe Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior?”
My response, “Yes, I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior!”
Immediately I knew I was in a holy place, so I changed position on my bed from a relaxing one to kneeling. I leaned over my knees and felt the emotional warmth of the encounter. I prayed giving thanks to God for several more minutes, then as I sat up my view had changed: I found myself kneeling in an otherworldly place.
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.” (Psalm 100:4)
I was kneeling in an outdoor courtyard. I could feel the majesty of divinity all around me. I could see the stars twinkling up above yet it was both night and day; I could see everything I gazed upon clearly, however, I could not see a brightness reminiscent to our sun. I noticed several steps in front and at the top of them sat the presence of excellence.
I leaned over my knees yet again and began to praise God in all His glory. I was being blessed with the opportunity to see God in His realm of glory. The realization instantly humbled me beyond measure. I could tell I was in Father God’s court; it was filled with wonder and holiness.
As curious as I always am, I wondered where this supreme location could be, but then I realized there could only be one place and that is wherever God says it is. I turned my head to look around the location. I saw several pillars, one on each corner of the courtyard, and I could see what appeared to be a tabernacle directly behind God.
I slowly began turning my head to see what was behind me and just as I looked to the left, I heard a voice say, “Don’t turn your back on me.”
I didn’t, but I did see a pyramid just inside the left corner of my peripheral. It stood off in the distance at the end of what appeared to be a long stretch of garden with many trees lined on both sides, (I noticed it to be several hundred feet tall)
I was introduced to seven seraphim who sat observing—two to the left, two to the right, and three in front—each sat in a unique place in God's court. I was trying my best to comprehend what I was doing there and so I said,
“God You found me.”
And God said, “No, you, found me.”
Thinking now about the importance and truth of His words, I believe although we're all born into God’s marvelous earth, we must individually seek Him and come to understand that only a path of mercy and righteousness leads to God.
I'd been kneeling for some time in a penitent manner, all the while aware of the magic and marvel of where I knelt. I felt as if another person was directly pressing against both of my palms underneath my blanket. We spoke graciously to one another (all of us) for hours on end.
Through it all and all the while an incredible sensation on my palms swirling in a circular motion, then instantly I found myself in another place. I realized this sensation was that of vortices spinning on my palms and I noticed I was no longer kneeling before the majesty of God.
In an instant we left together embarking on a walk just before dawn.
This image is of God's Courtyard and Temple in heaven. He sat directly in the middle just in-front of the steps leading up. Its the first rendering of His place I created. (this is a digital image) I've since recreated it with acrylics/canvas.
