A vision 7/7/2010

Just now (about 7am this morning), I was listening to Todd Bentley’s CD “Soaking in the Secret Place” and had a vision. I was in a small (1-2 person) boat by myself, moving across a small calm lake. I don’t know whether it was in heaven or earth. The day was sunny and mild, probably 75 degrees, and just the slightest hint of a breeze. There was no motor or sail, I don’t know how the boat was propelled, but it seemed to go what direction I wished it to.

I saw a small river coming into the lake and decided to go up this river, and the boat went that direction. I went a little ways up the river and came to a large field of emerald-green grass. Jesus was sitting there on a throne and I knew I was supposed to get out of the boat. When I did, He got out a picnic basket and blanket and invited me to have lunch with Him (fish sandwiches!) Although I describe it as a blanket by its heavier nature, it actually looked a lot like a red and white checkered tablecloth.

I wanted to listen to Him teach, but He said I needed to eat and “hang out” more, so I happily did. We didn’t talk much, I just enjoyed His presence. Then we both laid down on our backs and looked up at the shapes in the clouds. He asked me what I saw in one, and I said I saw a chariot. It was a very calm but fulfilling experience.

As I got up to go, He said to me “You can come back here any time you wish.” I am still processing the significance of this vision.
