Pillars of Faith

God will enable us to look and behold the Spiritual realm! (Revelation 4:1-2) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. Lord.

"Going to "The Third Heaven" was a phrase I literally experienced when in prayer with The Living Savior Ministries at a Healing School 2006.

Working evenings I was not able to attend but the Sunday classes. There was a session in the morning and one in the evening. That day brought a new perspective on the Divine Glimpses the LORD had been giving me and that I was not the only one that has seen them.

When the evening class was over, Thurman gave the audience instructions on who they would be praying for that night. He told everyone only the ones who would not be able to attend any more meetings could meet him up front. They would pray for the others on the last day of the training session.

That was my cue to go forward for prayer. When it was my turn I prayed with Thurman and his wife Cheryl. Thurman asked me some questions and then asked what I needed to be prayed for. I told him for the pain in my lower back I was having because of a fall. The three of us made a prayer circle. Thurman quoted the scripture, Matthew 18:18,19. Then he asked me, "Do you understand what that means?" "It means that we are agreeing together, believing what the Word says and Jesus is right here in the middle."

When He spoke those words, "And Jesus is right here in the Middle", I was transported to Heaven with Jesus. I was standing beside Jesus, but I could not see him, everything was so bright. The brightness did not hurt my eyes, but I was not able to see anyone, even though I felt the presence of a lot of people. I did get a glimpse of two pillars on each side of me, when a person from the church took hold of my "uplifted arms", bringing me back to the church. It was like my arms were the pillars.

I knew what had happened, but I was a little dazed when Thurman asked, "Are you healed?" I told him I wasn't sure. He then said, with a commanding voice, "Walk down the isle and see." I walked down the isle and kept going. As I was going out the door, Thurman yelled to me, "You claim that healing young lady". I replied, "I will".

My family was waiting for me in the van. I climbed in and told them, "While being prayed for I had been taken to another realm." At that time I didn't know that it was called "The Third Heaven".

Raising my arms in Church was something I had not done before this experience. I thought it was a radical thing to do. Growing up in a Baptist Church in the past, you didn't do things like that. Now I know that it is a very important thing to do while singing and praising the LORD. GOD is teaching me how to truly Worship Him.

After the "Third Heaven Glimpse", it's like I was ignited with excitement and a stronger desire to know more about GOD. I started the Cleansing Stream Program and at the same time took a class on how to know more about the Holy Spirit. I was seeking the Lord with all my Heart and studying the Word every free moment I had. The more Word I was absorbing the more I was hearing from GOD, through the Mighty Holy Spirit.

Of course I was very interested in pillars after that wonderful experience, so I went into research about their meaning. Also, when praising GOD at Church I raise my arms in praise, whenever I can. One thing I did not know before was that there are pillars in Heaven, and if I had, it was one of those verses I did not take as serious as I do now.

Before I read the Word, I pray that the Holy Spirit will give me all divine wisdom and knowledge and all divine understanding of the Living Word of GOD. Below is one of the articles I found while doing my research about pillars.
