How Heaven is Truly Governed

When I forsook all and WALKED the narrow path, many years ago, when I was a much younger man, I had many visions of heaven. So many I've forgotten most of them, except for the ones that were the most significant and life-changing for me. I can't really describe what the experience is like, except to say, that many would call it lucid dreaming and it's no coincidence or surprise to me I'm in Australia, the land of the Dreamtime and walkabout, and before I start, I'd like to say, I've had many encounters with angels and never have I seen them with wings. The wings are metaphorical.

It was a beautiful spring morning, and I was taking a stroll along a country lane, with rolling green pastures either side, not a cloud in the sky and a slight, cool breeze. It was like being in a picture postcard.

As I rounded a bend in the road, the vision descended in its usual manner, like a fine, misty curtain of rain around me, overlaying the natural environment until it became quite real. Just ahead, about ten metres or so, stood a group of what appeared to be angels, all clothed in radiant white. They were in a triangular formation, like the pins in a bowling alley and "somehow" I knew the one in the front was the Archangel Michael. As I approached, he bent towards me with a bowing motion and spread his arms wide, saying as he did so, "All of Heaven is with you" and I felt they were all giving me a little pat on the back as I walked through their assembly.

As I emerged out the other side of the assembly, I saw about a hundred metres in the distance, someone standing on a small mound, like a baseball pitcher's mound, a foot or two high. I "somehow" knew that it was Immanuel (Jesus) and eventually I came and stood before Him.

When I looked up at Him, He appeared transparent, like a ghost. He peered down at me with a look that pierced through to my very soul and declared in a very authoritative tone, "That's right, we can see right through you here!" In that moment, I felt completely and utterly exposed! Nothing seemed hidden, as he saw right through me. He was looking to see if there was any spot, stain, mark or blemish of the sinful/unvirtuous, characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort or fear for survival of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic nature of my flesh, in my character. For He's the ultimate judge of character and won't let anyone in who has the slightest spot, stain, mark or blemish.

"Assuredly (without a doubt), I say to you, unless your nature is transformed and become as little children (without the slightest spot, stain, mark or blemish of pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and fear for survival), you will BY NO MEANS enter the kingdom of heaven."Matthew 18:3

Then He commanded, with a voice that boomed like thunder, "Come through me!" I felt drawn to step up on the mound and literally stepped through Him. As I entered His body, I became aware of every spiritual realm in creation and so much more. I saw through His eyes and knew what He knew. It was only for a moment, but it seemed like an eternity!

As I stepped down from the mound, I turned to face Him again and He leaned down and handed me a small piece of blank, white paper. It was like a piece of notepaper, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. He informed me, still with a very commanding tone, "You're a citizen now, go and mingle!"

I walked on, feeling a little light-headed from the experience and I was trying to understand how a blank piece of white notepaper could possibly be a citizenship paper.

I seemed to wander in a bit of a daze for a little while, as I just couldn't seem to figure out what the blank piece of paper meant. I came upon a garden seat that seemed to be made of white marble and sat down, looking at the piece of paper and scratching my head. Somehow, I knew that I knew what it meant, from the experience I'd just had, but the step through Jesus was like a subliminal message, so it was beginning to frustrate me a little that I felt that I knew but couldn't remember. It was like having something on the tip of your tongue.

I soon became aware that someone was sitting beside me, and I turned to see who it was. I couldn't make out his face clearly, as the light was so bright that radiated from him. He quietly asked me, "Do you know how this kingdom is governed?" To which I hesitantly replied, "I think I've got a bit of an idea," having a picture of Jesus as king, archangels, etc. You know, the hierarchical structure.

The angel then told me to take a look around, which I hadn't really done, as I'd been so focused on the piece of paper. So, I looked and saw many groups of people, some small, some large and they all just seemed to be hanging out, but they all seemed extremely happy. There was a lot of laughter and a deep sense of camaraderie and peace. I have been involved in the army, rescue teams, the church and other organisations that had a sense of unity and camaraderie during my life, but none of them compared to what I saw and felt.

Then the angel (Gabriel) said, "For want of a term, we call it Conducive Isocracy." I just sat there for a couple of minutes not really understanding, as I'd never heard of the word Isocracy before. I then turned to my other side to find someone sitting there. Immediately he sprang to his feet and shouted with joy, "To be or not to be, was that the question? Why TO BE of course, in the truth of God's Love!" Then he went dancing off along the path.

A thought then entered my mind, "That seems a bit crazy" and the angel turned to me and asked, "Is it? Everyone here is absolutely civilized and could and would say to you. 'I am so crazy, with joy! In love!' and they are all very much conducively so!" Then he left and the vision lifted like a curtain, back up to the sky.

I wandered slowly home, feeling a little confused but very elated and after making myself a cup of tea, I pulled out my dictionary and began to search for the words the angel had used. I found the word conducive and to my surprise, Isocracy and these are the definitions I found (with my added notes in brackets).

CONDUCIVE: from Conduct

• The action of leading or guiding
• Of the person or thing that leads (virtue)
• All parts aligned to a common purpose (love)
• To cooperate in various work or art
• Manner of conducting one's life, in reference to its moral quality

ISOCRACY: from ISO (equal) + CRACY (power)

• Equality of power or rights
• A system of government in which all people possess equal power (true love & virtue)

Unfortunately, common sense dictates that it's absolutely impossible for egos to live on earth as in heaven, and because Conducive Isocracy (heaven) only works when everyone is egoless, every character that's corrupted, blinded, deceived, governed & ruled (brainwashed, stained/marked & led) by the characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and/or fear for survival of THE BEAST of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic nature of the flesh God named Satan and man calls ego, will be wiped from the face of the earth by God's fearful wrath, whether they religiously attend a halfway house (church) or not, memorized and can recite scriptures like a parrot or not, pass the buck to charity or not, etc. Though it's always and forever will be as clear as mud to ignorant, savage egos.

If you haven't figured it out by now, the blank piece of white notepaper meant that I am no longer the author of my life, God is.

GENEROSITY

passive lamb-like characteristic of true love's divine nature

Generosity is giving and sharing. You share freely, not with the idea of receiving something in return. You find ways to lift the spirit of others, and give just for the joy of sharing. Generosity is one of the best ways to show love and kindness.

But a generous man devises generous things, and by generosity he shall stand.Isaiah 32:8

Challenge yourself to be aware of any and all opportunities to practice and apply generosity in your life this week, and the times you should have, but didn't because of the characteristic pride, vanity, envy, selfishness, ambition, lust, greed, desire for creature comfort and/or fear for survival of the carnal, instinctual, egoistic (self-centered) nature of your flesh.
