Nuclear Explosions

"When the Heavens opened to me, the atmosphere of Heaven was thick with intense purity in the air. Many spiritual beings surrounded me. An angel guided me into the center of a very large room, which I realized was God's throne room. It had no visible walls; the room seemed as endless as God's awesome presence.

In the center of the room was the glorified Son. His presence was so bright that the pure light coming from His face felt like a walk into the heart of a nuclear explosion. Yet somehow, He gave me grace to be able to walk toward Him." (Shawn Bolz, The Throne Room Company, p.20)

Heaven's like a nuclear explosion?, sounds like a pretty intense place to live. If any body wants to know what Heaven is like here is one description by Shawn Bolz who experienced first hand such a place. The cool thing he's not the only one who has visited Heaven before they died, many today have had similar experiences, ie: John Paul Jackson. In the Bible in 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, Paul talks about a man who was caught up into the 3rd Heaven where he heard inexpressable words. God is desiring a generation to know what Heaven is like, to bring it on Earth (Shawn Bolz), "On Earth as it is in Heaven".

This week was pretty tough for us all personally. Being in such a unique enviornment, we start feeling growing pains a lot; characterly and spiritually speaking. God is a consuming fire when it comes to maturing us. I thought going to Streams Academy would be filled with great comfort and nonstop parties. Instead we're maturing and building our character, whats up with that?

Out of this we know that great promises will come out of our pain. But even going through the personal crushing with the Holy Spirit we can learn to enjoy it with perserverance or just give up to face it some other time in life. Whatever the issue God will bring it up again. He loves us too much to let us go through life messed up in our corrupted state. Instead He messes us up.

Enough hard talking, we understand the reward is more pressious than iPods, BlueRay DVD's, and Nintendo Wii's combined. We are willing to go through it with peace and trust.

I pray for anyone reading this, as you go through any friction in life, stop ask your self "what is God speaking to me about me in this situation" Interprate it as if it were a dream. What would your situation mean if it were a dream. Then you won't freak out so much.

T'was a Cold Day with Hearts and Music

This morning on Valentines Day we were presented with a blizzard that is still going on right now, leaving over 2 feet of snow. Because of the dumping of so much snow at once, the highly trained snow plows still were no match. We did not go to work today but we got together in our house to discover what God was speaking to us with dreams we had last night.

Example: One guy had a dream where he noticed a brand new Jeep parked on the otherside of a short wall. As he easily hopped over the wall, he realised the jeep had a concrete bottom. Opening the door he stepped in, to his surprise it was much bigger on the inside than on the out side. After that a couple of baboons walked by, smiled at him and then left to join other animals walking down the street.


We attempted to interprate what God was telling him.

Here we go. The new jeep on the otherside of the short wall was a new stage (new ministry or occupation) coming up in his life. There will only be a short obstacle in the way but he'll get there. This new (ministry or occupation) will have a solid foundation and it will provide more room and space than what it looks like from the outside. The baboons who usually are agressive creatures, smile at him instead leaving him alone, They could be people who would usually bothered him will no longer do so leaving him alone.

My God uses Baboons and Jeeps to speak his children. I love that.

Later lay ahead a Valentine Surprise for the ladies in the internship. At the guys house we cleaned!!!!, cooked an amazing meal, dressed up, decorated and provided elegant music. As the dressed up girls came in from the blizzard outside we escorted to the tables. First was the meal along with live violin music. Then finishing off the meal with cheese cake. After that the greatest dance party New London will ever see. Yes we are Christians.....were dancing fools. It was such an amazing time to show the girls that we love them and hold them with high regard. To extend our covenant with them telling them that they are princesses.

Happy Valentines Day

Streams Strikes Back

This weekend we went back to our favorite town of Salem. There was a Wine and Chocolate Tasting Festival. People walk around to resturants tasting chocolates and fine wine. When we got there no one was walking around the streets because it was soo cold, but we did have some people come into the "Gathering" church to have dreams interprated as well as have prophetic ministry. I was assigned as one of the INTERCESSors. We dealt with a lot of things unseen so praying while ministry was going on was very important. You could feel the atmosphere in the church was very peaceful. Many people were being touched. Grown Men were crying because Daddy (God) was ministering to his loved ones. I'm a grown man and I cry freely, I just had to say that just to get the effect across.

Horray for TV

God has put me into an honorable position in being part of the beginings John Paul Jackson's AWE TV. This television show right now is broadcasted on the web but its future will soon be on regular TV. The purpose of the show is to give Glory to God and to help people find their purpose in life. On the show they will have anything from How God speaks to us in dreams to God's mysteries through color, music and science. John Paul Jackson has a lot to offer, so being on TV will allow him to touch a larger number of people; helping them get to their destiny.












I am the guy who operates the Teleprompter. A few weeks ago I didn't even know exactly what a teleprompter was, now I'm operating one for John Paul.
