Open Vision

One of the most exciting times on my journey with God was when He showed me an open vision. Prior to this encounter, I had visions where I was getting instruction from the Lord by a river. We would ride two white horses together to this river and would sit at the shores. The shores comprised of clear sand, and the skies above were clear. The location was stunning and peaceful.

 I met the Lord for a period as He gave me counsel. He gave me an assignment to read two books, The School of the Seers by Jonathan Welton, and The Seer by James Goll. He wanted to give me direction to grow in the supernatural and see into the spirit realm.


On April 19, 2013, I was reading The School of Seers, and I reached a chapter that talked about how God communicates  to seers. A seer receives information through visions, open visions, dreams and many other ways. For some reason at that time I was really interested in open visions. I did research on the meaning of open visions, and I found out God shows the open vision to a person as if it were happening right infront of the person. After reading about open visions I go to sleep with  a lot of intriguing knowledge about the supernatural.

The following morning, I wake up and I look at my ceiling, and I see interesting images. Then I remember the previous night I was reading about open visions, and I believe right there and then I saw an open vision. It was an image of a book (the word of God) and an ear.

 I place my tablet on my bed and I go to the bathroom. I come back and to my amazement, I find the tablet in a suitable position to capture the open vision. I take the picture. (See figure 1)

The image of the Bible (left) is still and I notice the one of the ear (right) flickers frequently.  I realize God is relaying an important message. At that time I was searching for more of God and His wisdom. My ears were tuned to hearing the Father's instructions and I was enlightened.

I shared the picture with my close friends and this verse came to light as we discussed the vision
       
    Proverbs 2:1-5

    My son, if you accept my words
    and store up my commands within you,turning your ear to wisdom
    and applying your heart to understanding—indeed, if you call out for insight
    and cry aloud for understanding,and if you look for it as for silver
    and search for it as for hidden treasure,then you will understand the fear of the LORD
    and find the knowledge of God.

At this point in my amazing adventure with God, He was inviting me to continue reading His word and listening to His instructions. God speaks to us in various ways; dreams, visions, through people, the word, the inner and audible voice etc. He speaks to us according to our personality and the way He sees us. 

The key is to have a relationship with Him individually and cultivate this relationship. As you do this you will learn more about God's identity and in turn you will learn more of your identity, after all we are created in His image. Furthermore, you will learn how He communicates to you. Having a personal relationship with God is so much fun and fulfilling.

Position yourself to hear from God everyday, as you find rest in His presence. Let Him put a blanket of peace on you as you sleep and wake. It is a new day everyday, the Lord's day, which is full of divine purpose and order.
