About hsvisions

Born again at about 16 yrs. of age (1957) Baptized in the Holy Spirit (1977) I was given my first vision while attending a men's christian weekend (Cursillo) in 1978, on my birthday. Since that time I began recording these Holy Spirit visits (visions) and began illustrating them many years ago. The messages from the Holy Spirit are primarily forthtelling-edification- for the body of Christ here on earth. Many of these message reveal what God is like, many are given to let the Church know Him, and that He is always with us. Kathy was baptized in the Holy Spirit in 1977, three days before I received the baptism. Kathy is our Editor and proof reader.

LIKE FLINT

Isaiah 50:7-9 “Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near. Who is he that will condemn me? They will all wear out like a garment; the moths will eat them up.”

The Scene: A representation of Isaiah’s face in rock, has set his face like flint.

Like Isaiah, God’s people are called to be steadfast in hope and belief in Father God, His Son, and the Holy Spirit who was sent to God’s people.

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”

1 Peter 2:19 “For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God.”

We are often called by our Lord Jesus Christ,to endure hardships for His sake through the persecution and ridicule of unbelievers.

Matthew 10:22 “All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.”

Hebrews 3:6 ” But Christ is faithful as a son over God’s house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.”

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE


2 Corinthians 4:6 “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. “

The Scene: Bright search lights scanning the night sky, going back and forth. God’s people, believers in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have been given the ability and opportunity to be lights for Jesus in a dark world, to lead the spiritually lost to focus on the Savior of the world.

Matthew 5:16 “In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”

We can all praise God for the opportunities He gives us to expand the kingdom of God. Pray for the opportunity to witness to others, the boldness to speak in His behalf, spreading the good news of the gospel of our Lord and Savior. Matthew 10:32-33 “Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.”

LIVING WATER

Revelation 21:6 “He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.’ “

The Scene: A pitcher of water poured forth; living water fresh like the snow-melt from a mountain stream–representing God’s Living Word.

Revelation 22:1a “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb.” 

Revelation 22:17 “The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.”

Once a person is born-again, filled with the Spirit, he too pours forth God’s living water.

John 7:37-38 “On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.’ “

JESUS SAVES

JESUS SAVES

Romans 10:13 ” For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

The Scene: Life preserver floating in troubled waters.

Someone called for help! ”  Jesus! Jesus!” The waves were big and splashing all around. Then out of nowhere came a life preserver, landing in the water

James 1:2-6 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverence must finish its work so that you may mature and complete,not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Isaiah 12:2 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; for he has become my salvation.”

Isaiah 25:9 “In that day they will say, ‘Surely that is our God; we trusted in him and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

MAXIMIZE

Hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly* seek him. *earnestly:  zealously, eagerly, real desire–with steady application and care

The Scene : Symbolic of the sun rising from the East and setting in the West repeatedly–representing many days.

Man’s days on this earth are numbered (limited). We are called to use our days wisely, utilizing Godly wisdom given us by the Holy Spirit, as opposed to using man’s worldly wisdom (flesh) which isn’t really wisdom at all.  James 3:17-18 “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.”

As we seek to follow God’s ways, not our own, we can maximize our heavenly and earth rewards from God.

Daniel 12:3 “Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.”

SWEPT AWAY

Isaiah 44:22 ” I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”

The Scene: Many sweepers–a representation of our Lord’s mercy and grace, as He sweeps away our sins, over and over again, for those who have repentant hearts, those who believe in Jesus Christ.  God knows our hearts, attitudes and actions.

Isaiah 1:18-19 ” ‘Come now, let us reason together,’ says the Lord. ‘Though  your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land.’ ”

1 John 2:1 “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin.  But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense–Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.”

Acts 13:38 “Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.”

GET WISDOM III

1 Corinthians 8:1b-3  “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God.”

The Scene: A stack of books looking like a skyscraper that seemingly reaches to the sky–representing all of mankind’s knowledge.

Man’s knowledge and his worldly wisdom hinder him from living out his life without God’s wisdom to guide him.

Ecclesiastes 12:11-12 ” The words of the  wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails–given by one Shepherd. Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them. Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.”

Worldly wisdom & man’s philosophies are the result of worldly book knowledge–such as  evolution theory, accepted by many as fact.  Likewise, those who believe in false religions, cults and worship idols, are studying information that separates them from God.

Get wisdom! Get Godly wisdom! (Read Chapter 2 of Proverbs: The moral benefits of Wisdom.)

James 1:5 ” If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”

BE A FRIEND FOR GOD

Leave a reply
                            BE A FRIEND FOR GOD
2 Corinthians 5:20 “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”
The Scene: A contrast: Two pictures within one; looked at as a closeup, the one picture could appear as a “desert” scene–but pull away and view the whole picture from a distance and see a “dessert”, a cupcake:  two similar words with entirely different meanings and spellings.
The main point here is that Christians, those who are born-again, need to be working for God. The desert may appear to be beautiful but can be a very dangerous place. Some say they are Christians, but are really more like the desert. The unsaved person may be attracted to either kind, not knowing the difference between those are working for God and those who are working for themselves, instead.  Let’s be “dessert” Christians, not the other kind.
Isaiah 6:8 ” Then I heard the voice of the Lord say, ‘Whom shall I send?‘ and who will go for us? And I said, ‘Here am I.  Send me! ‘ “
We have to show those who are looking for the Messiah what Jesus Christ and His Father truly are, to help further the kingdom. To accomplish this assignment and to be effective, we must be God-like, filled with Holy Spirit’s wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discernment with Godly love for others.
2 Timothy 2:15 “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.”

FIRE FOR EFFECT

FIRE FOR EFFECT.jpg

FIRE FOR EFFECT

James 5:16 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

The Scene: Representation of guns firing from a battleship–firing several rounds/ volleys, “firing  for effect.  “The “big boomers” continued to fire for a time, as the shells sought their targets and hit, destroying them. The shells represent our prayers.

Cannon fire is directed by an artillery officer/ spotter/director. Likewise, the Holy Spirit compares our prayers, that are directed by God, to be like the cannon fired at our enemy  in the spiritual battle against Satan. He is the master tempter who tries continually to separate us from God.

The Holy Spirit tells us to fire for effect with our prayers. Send many prayers/volleys as necessary to drive off or kill the enemy. Our prayers are to be fervent* and effectual**, God’s Word tells us to be:  *fervent:  earnest, eager, zealous; ** effectual:  having adequate power or force to produce the desired effect.

Holy God gave us His Holy Spirit to provide  the power needed to drive our spiritual enemies away.

Proverbs 15:8 ” The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.”

Psalm 86:6-7 “Hear my prayer, O Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. In the day of trouble I will call on you, for you will answer me.”

NIGHT VISION

2 Corinthians 4:4 ” The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.”

The Scene: A person wearing a pair of night vision glasses.

God’s people have been given the Holy Spirit, who gives us Godly wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment, which act like night vision glasses, to see clearly in a spiritually dark world.

Psalm 18:28b “My God turns my darkness into light.”

The unsaved, non-believers in Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, walk in spiritual darkness.

Psalm 82:5  “They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.”

Ecclesiastes 2:26 “To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing wealth up to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
