The Ladder

I see a ladder going to heaven, but the door at the top is locked. I can get to the top, but I cant get through. I pound on the door, and it opens. I peek in, and a party is going on. So, I climb in. It’s like a palace, and there are many guests. I feel like Alice in Wonderland.

This room is where the greats of history gather to tell their stories. Royal robes, cigars, brandy and fireplaces. There are animals hanging on the walls – all trophies of the kills on earth.

God says that the doors to this room are not open to me yet, but one day I will join these greats to tell my own stories of redemption and conquest. God is saving for me, treasures in heaven.

I see a tall, skinny man with a pencil thin mustaches riding one of those old timey bikes. It had the huge front wheel and tiny back wheel.

He brings me a scroll. On it are the plans for our next season. But, the scroll black. I sense that the LORD has yet to fully write out what will happen next.

An eagle comes overhead. he is weathered but proud. He has many metals on him. He is wisdom and revelation. I see him take his stand behind me and spread out his great wings. He is assigned to follow me everywhere, and when I need him, he will stand and spread his wings over me. I shall remain under his wing and in his shadow all of my days.

His graying feathers sparkle with gold. His experience is great. He has flown directly into the storm.

He will tell me the hidden things of God and the secrets of the chamber of the throne room.

He has my arrows and spears in his talons, and lightning is tatooed in his side. It looks like Elvis Presley’s “TCB”, the logo on his plane.

“Taking care of business in a flash”.

Well, God is the One. And He will surely do it.

I see a cave man come out of his cave. He is throwing boulders at hyenas and dinosaurs. But, the boulders roll and smoosh the red flowers that beautify the valley floor. The pterodactyl flies in and picks him up and shows him all of the damage each rock thrown creates. The mockery of the hyeneas is long forgotten, but the boulders remain. The old, even ancient thought patterns are like dinosaurs. But, they wont be broken by throwing big rocks.

God’s beauty is in the midst of even those who come against you. There is shelter and protection on the mountain of the LORD. See the way God does and proclaim the LORD’s truth from the high place He sets you on. No one will touch you. Let the flowers grow in the midst of them. Let his beauty shine forth.

I saw the caveman back at his cave, high upon the mountain.

He had on a cheer leading uniform and cheering for the hyenas and dinosaurs. He shouted instructions to them with great encouragement. And they all became ants and marched in line to a drum beat coming out of heaven to a big bonfire where Jesus was preaching, teaching, healing and loving His people.

They all took off the fishing nets that had held them. There was a multitude of them. Many were surrounding the LORD.

They were being washed clean.

Great worship broke out all around.

Peace flooded the valley, and all could come and get on it and play.

Joy is the kingdom.
