UNDERSTANDING SUPERNATURAL VISIONS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE
Shadows, darknesses, and strange presences may at times characterize supernatural experiences. Even in experiences inspired by God, there may be activity which will look like it’s from the devil. When it is not of God we can rebuke it in the Name of Jesus. But if we will trust God and not be too quick to resist a peculiar, unfamiliar manifestation, we might find a wonderful revelation of the Lord hiding behind the seeming darkness. He often makes darkness His secret hiding place, (Psalms 18:11). Jesus Christ is faithful to never leave or forsake us. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, and taketh them, and beareth them on her wings, so the Lord alone will lead us, (Deuteronomy 32:11-12). Even in the oftentimes strange spiritual dimensions where profound visions may be found, the Lord prepares a table before us in the presence of our invisible enemies, (Psalms 23:5). Oppressions, terrors, and strange spirits shall remain far from us (Isaiah 54:14), and no weapon that is formed against us shall prosper, (Isaiah 54:17). The whole armour of God which Paul teaches us about covers the whole spectrum of the Christian walk, whatever realm it may involve, (Ephesians 6:10-18). As the Lord makes us to ride upon the high places of the earth and heavens in high experiences (Deuteronomy 32:13), He will watch over us so we won’t be deceived by evil spirits. We will instead be drawn nearer to Him. We will be led about only by Him and be instructed only by Him, for He will keep us as the apple of His eye, (Deuteronomy 32:10). And as we ask for the things of His Spirit, He will give them to us, and not something else, (Luke 11:11-13). James 1:16-17 Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from Above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with Whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. As the Lord watches over us in spirit, soul, and body, our eyes will occasionally become opened so that we will behold wondrous things at times. When God anoints our eyes to be able to see in the realm of the Spirit, marvelous heavenly things may become more seeable, supernatural things clearer, the ministry of angels more familiar, and our beloved King Jesus more glorious. Profound prophetic utterances often proceed from profound spiritual sights. So let us go on to higher heights in the Lord and in the manifestations of His Spirit. Let us seek 81
