A heightened awareness

 A Quote from "The Ecstasy of loving God" by John Crowder.

"Today the world is in birth pangs, being shaken from a natural perception of things observable and awakened to a heightened awareness of things unseen. We are being awakened to the glory realm—the atmosphere of God’s tangible, manifest presence. The spiritual realm of Heaven is a greater reality than the known, material universe. One might say it is a meta-reality, for the spiritual always affects and overrides the physical. Things which are shifted in the spirit bring direct consequence to the natural realm.

These are exciting times as God shifts our concept of reality. He is preparing us for the phenomenal—angelic encounters, visitations of Jesus, bizarre miracles, and multitudes of souls coming into the Kingdom. The thing which most needs shifting today is us. God will not have an end-time church that is depressed, cynical, doubting, religious, or powerless. He will have a church that lives and breathes from a heavenly vantage point, even while their feet still touch the earth. This church will be filled with joy, faith, intimacy, and power like no previous generation.

In this day, God will not have for Himself a purpose-driven church, but a Spirit-driven church—an intimate bride who is moved and motivated by the cloud of His presence. He is looking for lovers, not do-gooders. A people who are enraptured by His fragrance and lost in the eternal weight of His goodness."

Submission to God is a beautiful thing

At Church today I saw a 'person' at the front of the Church. They were glowing so white that I could hardly look at them.(I knew I was seeing the spirit of someone, the 'redeemed spirit' of someone. I thought it was a woman, but don't know how I knew as there were no identifying features.) The person was kneeling in submission to God. While still kneeling they leaned forward and looked like they were laying themselves (folded over) into a grave. The thought hit me, "They are laying down their life for God". As they 'melted' into the grave a shell of a seed unfurled from below them and wrapped around them. They turned into a seed. The seed was ornately carved. I thought "I can't wait to see what it grows into."

The whole 'event' was one of the most beautiful things I've seen. Laying down your life in submission to God is a beautiful thing. Seen by God's perspective wow. I am still awed by the vision.
