Heavenly Vision—Thoughts of God—Our mind’s meditations only what pleases the Lord
(Jesus speaking: ) Think about what eternity might be like for you—hanging out with the Top Guy who knows everything there ever is or will be to know. Think about what beauty you will know while living in a place designed by the one who invented the concept of beauty, and knows how to make things the best. Think about having endless adventures and thrilling encounters, each one giving a sense of wonder and amazing you, making you so glad you are there to live out this life given to you. Just think about it for a minute. Stop thinking about this world for a moment now, just think about life with Me, forever, doing and seeing, and enjoying things greater than you can even imagine. It’s big. It’s great. It’s fabulous. You’ll never tire of what is to come in the world beyond yours—for those who work hard now for Me, and who give up all the cheep counterfeits of things that try to amaze you there. They are noting compared to the real thing that is yet to come. You’ll always be glad that you chose to hold the riches of Heaven with greater regard than anything this planet has to offer or to lure you with.

(Jesus speaking: ) Did something get you down today? Cheer up! It’s My problem. Yes, that’s right. Because you belong to Me, Jesus Christ, the Maker of the Universe, I rule over everything. I own it all—and that includes the problems. So what went wrong? Don’t worry about it, just pray. But not prayer with “wrath and doubting” as St. Paul told Timothy, but with hands held up in praise, because you know I am so much more powerful than anything that you can do to mess things up, through your blunders. Even through your big sins and failings. I am bigger and stronger than it all. It’s all so, so very small in comparison. Think about how very big I am—too big to even imagine. But someone “bigger than the universe” is good start. Now put your little trouble into My hands, and rejoice that I will do all things well.

(Jesus speaking: ) Just like termites eat away at old fallen wood in the forest aiding it to decompose into soil, so do little thoughts that work their way into your mind eat away and eat away, breaking you down. You need thoughts that are like wind. Strong and fresh wind can make trees have to grow stronger and it makes their wood form stronger.  Weak trees that have fallen down in the wind because they haven’t grown strong, are then apt to break down all the way. You can choose to grow strong, or fall down weak and your work for Me turn to nothing, like the soil on a forest floor that used to be a tree. Don’t get offended by the winds that blow. Choose to stay upright and get stronger because of the times of strengthening. Be brave. And don’t let little thoughts that go against God’s way of thinking come into your mind and eat away at your faith and joy and courage. These will just break you down, and leave your work in ruins, turning it to dust. Choose, that no matter what, no matter how hard things seem to be and what is coming against you, to do what is right and pleasing to Me, your Lord and King.

(Jesus speaking: ) For every little bit of something nice on Earth, there are a million and more things that you will find far more amazing and wonderful in the life to come, if you have loved Me with all your heart and mind and soul. Keep this in remembrance, and you’ll have an easier time bearing with the things that you don’t find so pleasant. Why not take some time each day to do just that—time for Heaven; time to just look up and get a refreshing glimpse of something wonderful I’d like to show you. Did you know that some children in the past, and even today, who had or are having real difficult lives, I gave them the gift of a visual trip to Heaven? They got to get a mini trip out of this world for a bit. It made them so happy. And it might be just the thing you need too, today. If the things of this world are getting you down, or getting you too distracted from the things of God’s Kingdom, just a time of visual inspiration, a video in your mind from My Spirit, may be just what you need to bring you delight and get your heart set fully on Me again. It could be like a little advertisement for the beauties and excitement that I have in store for those who patiently endure their troubles on Earth, loving Me through it all, and never giving up their faith, nor giving in to those who pressure them to call it quits on being a believer in My Word and love and salvation. Just close your eyes and ask Me to show you something cool, something to give you a glimpse of what is to come. I know what you feel, what you like, and what your heart needs right at that moment. I have the best videos to play, far better than anything this world tries to offer. Just turn off the screens, view some nature, whisper a prayer, close your eyes and think about Me. What might I be doing with you if I were there? What if you took a little trip up to Heaven, what would you like to be doing with Me? I have lots of fun and surprises in store. Let’s get started on a few of them today. Come take a look! But you are going to have to leave your toys and worldly aids that try to replicate visions. They will get in the way. Sometimes fasting, or going without some of that visual stuff from Earth is going to help you see the real thing in your mind much better.

(Jesus speaking: )  I can sure replace all videos of Earth with far out visions, dreams, and real experiences that I take you on, so real you think your body was really there! Open your eyes in the spirit by having faith that I do have beautiful and amazing things to impart to you. You can be living in this world, but have your mind and heart filled with Heaven. This is the way to really live. You’ll flourish and have more joy showing on your face when you do go about your Earthly duties and tasks. But for those that don’t yet have the gift given to them of Heavenly visions, I have placed lovely things in nature to look at. You can look up at the sky, or down at a droplet of dew on the ground that sparkles in the sunlight, or at a lovely flower-filled garden, or a flowing mountain waterfall, and these things and other things in nature can refresh your mind. It would be much better to be out in a forest and look at all the types of green and shapes of leaves, than to be staring at a screen filled with odd images and fanciful imagery that tends to disturb and bring your morals lower, which in turn empties your heart of peace and a reason to do good. So turn off the fake, and look at the beauty outside. Then if you are eager for more, I can show you the Heavenly visions, and you’ll be living with Heaven in your sight, and you’ll keep walking forward in faith towards that City of God, where the dreams will become reality. And you’ll be so glad you “endured  as seeing Him who is invisible”.
