Glimpses from Jesus into His Realm (for young people) –Part 1
	(Jesus speaking: ) Did you know that we have a lot of inventors in Heaven? And they're working to help you! Where did you think all the inspiration for those neat ideas and discoveries that man makes there on Earth come from? Like it says in My Word, every good gift and every perfect gift comes from up Here--from Me, the Father of lights. I even invented light! How `bout that! So, all of those important inventions, and even the not-so-important ones, if it's something that's good and helpful, it was first invented up Here, in Heaven.
	That's right! We've got a whole team of inventors Here. And it's their job to work with and inspire inventors on Earth, to help them come up with good ideas and things that will make life easier and better for you there.
	Of course, up Here they can do a lot of things that could never be done on Earth, so the great challenge is trying to find ways to do things using only the physical elements that are found on Earth. Like when they had to find a way to help man discover electricity, or invent the light bulb, or the telephone--they had to find ways to make it work on Earth, and then inspire someone there to give it a try.
	So if you really have a craving to come up with a new idea, something that will make things better or quicker or easier, just give Me a call, and ask Me to send you one of My Heavenly helpers to inspire you with some good ideas.
	And when you get up Here, if you like, you can even join one of My inventor workshops and become a member of the team. Besides coming up with ideas of how to make life easier and better on Earth, I also inspire different ones with ideas and creations for up Here, in Heaven--inventions, gadgets and decorations that can only exist in the spiritual realm. Here, there's no limit to the kinds of new ideas or things that can be invented.
*** 
	(Jesus speaking: ) There's a door. Open it. What's on the other side? People. They want to be your friends, your companions--and there are lots of them. You can link up with all these people--anyone who has come Here to be with Me in Heaven. Like Joan of Arc! She's Here, and she wants to help you. There are so many others, too.
	When many of these dear ones were there on Earth, the world didn't deserve or appreciate them, but they're the finest friends and companions that you could ever ask for, the most beautiful, loving people you could ever meet. They can be your spirit helpers. They can be there by your side and whisper sweet words of love and encouragement in your ears. At those times when you feel like you're totally surrounded by superficiality, or when people don't seem to understand you, just open the door and let Me come to talk to you or to send you these, your spirit helpers.
	You think that's crazy, or that others will think you're crazy? Where do you think all the souls who have ever lived since the beginning of time are? They've all passed on through that door to the spirit world! Where do you think your great-grandparents and your great-great grandparents are? Everyone that has ever lived--entire generations, entire nations, everyone you ever read about from the 1800s, 1700s, 1600s, all the way back to Creation--have all passed on to the other side. And many of them are right Here with Me.
	So who's crazy, huh? Just open the door, and you'll see that not only do I love you, but all of these wonderful, loving spirits in Heaven love you, too. It's not crazy! We're all here for you. You're not alone.

(Jesus speaking: ) Step right up to the greatest theme park you’ve ever seen! That’s right, it’s the theme park of the spirit, where the theme is anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to know, and anything you’ve ever wanted to see or hear.
	We’ve got rides and movies, music and dancing, time travel, space travel, water travel and thought travel—every kind of travel you can imagine. It’s all right here, in the land of the spirit, and you don’t even have to wait until you get your spirit body to experience it.
	All you’ve got to do is open the eyes of your spirit, reach out with the hand of faith, and grab your ticket. Walk right in and enjoy this special park, which has been designed just for you—My dear children of the Spirit.
	Dive into My Word—the messages, stories, testimonies and pictures that I give you—and before you know it, you’ll be having the time of your life, taking spirit trips and bumping into heroes of faith from the past. It’s the greatest! It’s free! And it’s here for you.

	(Dad speaking:) Virtual reality, satellite communications, the Internet, supercomputers—the world is changing so quickly, it’s amazing! Compared to the many advances that are being made today, when you look back at all the inventions and technological breakthroughs from previous centuries—things like the wheel or the bow and arrow, or even more recent inventions, like the light bulb and the telephone—the discoveries of the past don't really seem that impressive any more, do they?
	Now that mankind has entered a whole new century and a new millennium, everyone is practically going gaga trying to predict what things will be like in the future. They’re already experimenting with computers that can be connected right to the brain and chips that can be merged with human cells. If there was enough time, and things were to continue going the way they are now, it wouldn’t be very long at all before present-day computers seemed like dinosaurs—extinct!
	But if it’s possible for earthly man to make these kinds of advances—with his limited knowledge and capabilities—can you imagine how incredibly far-out things are in the spirit world—where there are no earthly limitations? The technology we have up Here is so far beyond anything on Earth, there are no words to describe its wonders.
	You don’t have to wait for the future, though, to experience some of Heaven’s technology. The Lord has already given you access to a communications system that’s out of this world! Through prayer, you’re not only able to communicate between countries, but between spiritual dimensions! Whenever you want, you can make contact with the spirit world just by concentrating and asking the Lord and the Heavenly host to speak to you. No modem or a satellite transmitter can manage that.
	Heavenly communication isn’t something abstract. It's real! And it's like nothing man will ever be able to come close to, because it will never be understood with the carnal, earthly mind. So, if you’d like to experience the greatest breakthrough in the universe, it’s time for you to log on—not to the Internet, but to the Spiritnet.

(Jesus speaking: ) I’ve called you to be “fishers of men,” but the Enemy is a fisherman too—quite an experienced one, at that. Just like most fishermen, he likes to go after the big catch, something that he can really brag about. And believe it or not, because of your background and heritage and the training that you’re being given through My Words, you’re about as big a catch as they come. Satan cringes at the thought of you growing up to be the dedicated missionary and zealous warrior of the faith that I’ve called you to be. So it shouldn’t surprise you or anyone else that he’s going to try to nab you before that happens.
	Satan’s got lots of different lures that work on different fish, all kinds of things that are tempting and hard to resist—all the while disguising the ugly fact that they’re hiding a dangerous hook that’s just waiting for someone to nibble at the bait.
	I can guarantee that the Devil’s going to do his best to lure you away from the freedom and exhilaration of the deep ocean waters of My Spirit and Word, because if he can just manage that, he knows you’ll be much more vulnerable, an easy catch. Once he’s got you into the shallow waters, all he’ll have to do is net you and cram you into his dirty little fish tank where he can show you off as one of his prize catches.
	So don’t fall for Satan’s fun-looking lures and tempting baits. They’re hiding an ugly and dangerous hook! And don’t let yourself get lured away from the deep waters of the Word, either. They’re your best protection! Stay immersed in the wide ocean of life-giving waters. Out in the deep, you’ll have plenty of protection and room to swim around in. You’ll find lots there to keep you fed and nourished, and to give you an exciting and happy life.

	(Jesus speaking: ) Did you know that there really have been true magicians—both in times past and in the present, both on the side of good and on the side of evil? These have been given their powers to open people’s eyes to the world of the spirit. They also help to portray the spiritual warfare between good and evil, like the time when Moses was challenged by Pharaoh’s evil magicians. But not only do I at times allow the world to see these signs and wonders, I also give them My Word of truth, so that all will have the opportunity to choose which side they’re on.
	Soon, many signs will be manifested upon the Earth—evil signs and wonders and workings of Satan—but I will retaliate with My Own signs and wonders in the Last Days, and will shake the whole Earth and the heavens with My return. It will be the greatest display of magic ever seen!
	The enemy of your soul is the Evil Magician. He’s on the attack, ever trying to defeat and destroy and confound the work of God. He’s determined to try anything he can to set you back and convince you to fall prey to his tricks and render you useless. There might be times when it will even look as though he’s succeeded in tripping you up and gaining the upper hand, but I’m the Great Magician, and I hold the ultimate power over Satan.
	As you keep your eyes fixed on Me and My promises, I’ll always show you what to do, and keep you one step ahead of his evil trickery. I’ll give you weapons that will help you to resist him and totally confound and defeat him. No matter how stacked the odds are against you, I will always triumph! Good will always win over evil. No magician has ever had, or will ever come close to having the kind of power I have. So stay close to Me and let Me work My magic in your heart. I can teach you many tricks that will help you to foil the Evil One—and have fun doing it!

	(Jesus speaking: ) I love to speak to you, My precious one. I love to whisper wonderful, sweet, encouraging, inspiring things in your ear. I’ve given you the gift of prophecy, the gift of hearing My personalized Words to you. Don’t compare or measure your gift with the gifts of others, because the gift that I’ve given you is special and unique.
	It doesn’t matter if others receive longer messages from Me. That doesn’t mean that the prophecies they receive are any better than the messages that I give you. The length of a prophecy doesn’t determine the strength, value or authenticity of it. So don’t let the Enemy come in and tell you that because you don’t receive long prophecies, or because it’s sometimes a struggle in the spirit, that you don’t hear from Me. He’s a liar, and he hates Me speaking to you. He knows how important it is, so he tries to discourage you and belittle the special times that we have together.
	I pour down precious, priceless jewels into your hands during the times that you spend with Me, and the Enemy hates it. He tries to minimize the beauty and quality of the jewels that I give you. He makes you look at others and think that theirs are more glamorous. But the truth is, though some jewels are different colors, shapes and sizes, they’re all precious, fine, quality jewels from My Heavenly mines.
	Don’t let the Enemy trick you into discarding your precious jewels or belittling the priceless gems that I’ve given you. And don’t let him convince you to stop receiving them, because I have so much more to give you. Keep coming to Me, and I’ll keep pouring out to you. The more time you spend with Me, the more I’ll be able to pour out, and the more you’ll receive.

	(Jesus speaking: )My dear one, I know that you love My Spirit, and you love the things of Heaven, and so I will bless you with what you've desired. I'm more than able to do wonderful miracles and let you see the wonders from Heaven above. Just trust Me and take time with Me each day.
	Even if you can't see the wild things of the Spirit or hear the music, even if you can’t see My face, those moments that you spend in My arms, reading My Words and listening to Me are very real. They’re like trips into the heavenlies.
	Though you can't see everything that you wish you could see right now, believe Me that I have special things ahead for you—special times with Me and fun spiritual experiences. Wait and see! Trust in Me and love Me with all your heart, mind, and soul, and I will give you the desires of your heart.
	In the meantime, all your Heavenly helpers are around you and with you. They're by your side now, saying, “You've chosen to say yes to Jesus. Good for you! We're with you and rooting for you!” Many angels surround you—more than you realize. If you could see them, you'd know that Heaven is there right now, in your own Home. Heaven surrounds you! You live and work with a great Heavenly host.
*** 
	(Jesus speaking: ) My guardian angels are like your bodyguards, and My spirit helpers are like your secret agents. I’ve surrounded you with a guardian angel—or guardian angels, in some cases—and it’s their sworn duty to protect you from harm or danger, both physical and spiritual. Of course, a lot depends on your obedience to stay within My protective forcefield, and you’re well aware that I sometimes allow things to happen, but it’s not because of your spirit helpers’ incompetence! Your heavenly bodyguards and secret agents are always ready to stand by your side as protectors, advisors and counselors. 
These are highly trained professionals, not rookies. They are instructed in heavenly warfare and details particular to your life and situation. They’re just what you need, and are at your beck and call, ready to be of service to you, to protect you and to advise you.
You’re a celebrity in My books! You’re royalty by Heaven’s standards! You’re My bride, so it shouldn’t surprise you to know that you have enemies. The most wanted murderer and assassin and thief in the universe is after you—the Enemy of your soul. Apart from wanting to harm you physically, he’s trying to murder your spirit, assassinate your love for Me, and steal away your joy and happiness. But for your protection, I’ve given you these strong, heavenly bodyguards and secret agents to protect you and keep you and give you all that you need.
Even though you can’t see them, it doesn’t mean they’re not real. They’re as real as the hair on your head and the fingers on your hands—even more real. Any earthly celebrity would pay hefty sums of money to have the kind of protection and support and advisors that you have in the spirit. 
So treasure it! Be proud of it! Make use of all of the help from Heaven that I’ve given you. Communicate with them! Ask their advice! They are the force of Heaven at your side.

	(Jesus speaking: ) Close your eyes. I have someone I want you to meet. She is Irynn, a Heavenly bearer of imaginative thoughts. Her violet eyes sparkle with mystery and her black hair waves long behind her, creating untold images in its tangles. Her white skin, almost translucent, reflects the silvery moon that glitters above. She wants to take you somewhere. Won't you come along? Give a little jump and upward you glide through the air and into the Sanctuary of Fulfilled Dreams. 
You fly full speed, with the wind whistling through your hair, till you come to the place she knows so well. It is a Heavenly mystery. It is neither here nor there--though it is a part of Heaven, you cannot find it for yourself--and there is nothing like it anywhere else. It has no set form, because it is to each his own dream and desire. 
As you enter, you come into the initial portal of your mind's farthest creativity--things you didn't even realize were in your imagination. As your King, I know every wish that is within you, and so I cater to you personally. It does not matter what or where the setting, and now I only give you one example. As you enter your portal, it is dark and cool. 
You come to a beach. The sand is soft and glittering with small diamonds. The water is iridescent, changing colors and hues as the light reflects off the waves that wash in front of your feet. The sky beyond the horizon is filled with stars and planets. As you look closer you can even see other galaxies. As you dive into the water you see there are planets and galaxies beneath the water as well. 
When you emerge from the water, you come to a place under a palm tree. There is an arrangement of your favorite foods. A hammock is hanging between two trees. You lie in it and sleep, and when you awake, it seems as if you've been sleeping for one hundred years. Your hair has soaked up the glow of the stars and shines with an unearthly sheen, and your body glows from a glitter that the water has left on your skin.
This Sanctuary of Fulfilled Dreams is one of the wonders of the Heavenly City, and admission is given to all those who serve Me. I see all and know all and I want you to feel My love through the granting of your heart's deepest desires. There is no better experience than that which I allow you to touch, taste, and enjoy. For what you do inside this Sanctuary is given directly by My hand.
