My Visits to the Galactic Council of Heaven

Book 2 Message 3

What would it be like if you had the chance as a prophet to speak to a prophet who has passed onto glory who has now come to earth to take you back to heaven? Bob Jones takes me to visit the Galactic Council in heaven

Bob:

How are you going today Matthew?

Matthew:

I am a bit stressed. I have been invited to speak in the UK and it is going to be tight to get everything done with a new passport and a visa being approved in time. Jesus has re-assured me that everything is going to be okay and done in time but my flesh can’t help being stressed.

Bob:

It sounds like you need to come and experience the atmosphere of heaven for a time. You have been a little hesitant to come because of your anxiety but it really is what is best for you. Are you ready to ascend now?

Matthew:

Yes

I am greeted by Jesus with a big hug. Each of the saints get up from their chairs and one by one give me a hug. It brings peace to my spirit, even down here on earth as I type.

John Paul Jackson is the last to hug me and he holds me for a long time.

John Paul Jackson:

Everything is going to work out fine with your trip. I know you are worried and you have anxiety about getting everything done on time. But God would not have opened up the door only for you to miss out on going. You can trust God that he knows what he is doing.

This gives you experience in living my faith and not by sight. This gives you more experience in casting your burdens on Jesus. This trip is only the first of many that will come after it.

It is like going through the process of putting together your first book years ago. You had to go through a learning process with that book and it was hard for you. Now this process seems hard and full of anxiety for you. But this will go well. You can rest in the fact, that even if you do your best and it does not work out to happen, then you knew that you did your best.

I find that it is totally amazing that someone finds you, reads about you and then invites you to be the keynote speaker for a 3-day conference with 1100 people in attendance.

Can you imagine being on a stage with 1100 people listening to you? And what a theme for you to preach on: Lecture Topic: Setting Aside Mundane Affairs and Passionately Pursuing Christ. You have a life purpose to teach people all about intimacy and encourage them to live a passionate life with Jesus. And here you have no only been invited to speak but you have been invited to speak on your favorite topic.

Matthew:

I have to say that it is a very encouraging topic to speak on. It’s as though the conference is planned not only as my debut in speaking at conferences but they have selected my passion to speak on.

When I can put the fears and anxieties away and think of the topic and what I could do with that with 3 one hour sessions, I know that Ii could take people on a great journey with me.

John Paul Jackson:

If you can conceive this, if you can divorce your worries and have faith, I can say that we have already seen you do this conference and you really stirred the hearts of the people to holy jealousy of your life that you live. I know that you are scared it is going to happen and everything is going to work out, but one day you are going to read this post and you are going to be looking back at how you went and you will see that I spoke the truth.

God in his wisdom knew the stress that it would take for you to get through this process. He knew that the time component would put you in a place of anxiety. But God, through his wisdom often puts us through things that are going to grow us as a person and grow us in our faith.

You had another opportunity to go overseas to the USA and you allowed the stress and anxiety keep you from going. You can relax and this time do everything that you can to make this trip happen. Don’t let anxiety, about the time for papers to process, steal the joy of being invited to speak on such a radical subject at your first conference.

Picture yourself at the podium looking out to a great crowd of people. Picture you having their attention for an hour at a time. Picture yourself teaching them the lessons that you have and illustrating what you have to say with your personal stories.

Picture yourself at the book table with a line of people wanting to touch base with you and shake your hand. Picture some of the conversations that you will have with some hungry people.

When anxiety threatens you, think of that podium and meeting those people. Focus on that and pray into that and the anxiety will have no place in your heart.

Matthew:

You are very wise. It is a good thing to do. Visualization is said to be a powerful concept for people. I can see the podium in my mind’s eye and I don’t know if I am actually travelling forward in time and I am actually there, or if this is merely my imagination but it is powerful to me nonetheless.

I have decided to preach on the 7 Keys to Intimacy with Jesus in my first sermon and then follow up with two sermons looking in a fresh modern look at the parables of Jesus and how they apply to us today in the 21^st century. I feel that though the words of Jesus and the lessons from the Holy Spirit that God allows me to speak people will be blessed.

John Paul Jackson.

It hasn’t even been 24 hours since you received the invitation and already you have a good idea of what you are going to speak on. I can see you speaking on the 7 keys to intimacy with Jesus in your first sermon and then taking 2 sermons to preach on the parables. You need to make sure that when you preach on the parables that you don’t come down too legalistic and condemn the people.

You need to preach them as the optimum way to live passionately for Jesus. With the 8 weeks that you have, you can spend time working out which ones you are going to speak on and perhaps even practice a little.

You are a champion Matthew. You really live your faith well and you have a great story. I am sure that you will be able to preach these messages with hope and assurance for people. I am sure you can make the committed relationship with Jesus sound really attractive. I look forward to watching you live as you preach to the people. The whole of heaven will be watching you.

You will have 1100 people in the audience as humans that are alive and yet there will be thousands of us that come down from heaven to watch you and cheer you on.

You can see it now as I speak to you. You can see yourself. You will do a great job.

Jesus:

Are you feeling a lot more at peace now Matthew?

Matthew:

Yes, I am feeling better now. I was carried away for a while with my anxiety.

Jesus:

It’s the enemies job to get you into fear and anxiety. You will have 1100 people’s lives that you are going to affect and encourage into a more committed life following me. It is not a little thing. The enemy wants you to spend your time in fear and worry and not be doing anything productive like preparing for the event.

You had a thought just then as you were typing that you might prepare for the three sessions and then preach them and record them and make a book out of them. That is the idea that we have wanted you to be led to. If you do that, you will be able to hear and see the type of message that you are going to preach when you get there.

It would make a very good book also for your readers in the future. There you go. You have it sorted out. This is how you will know that you have enough content to preach for an hour each session. You can simply record and preach for an hour each time and you have it typed up, edited and made into a book for others to read later.

Now, that you think about this idea, the thought has got you out of worry and more into excitement. You are excited at what you will be able to say and the end result of it all.

Do you know I always have the way out of a storm? I always have the way to peace no matter how big the waves that are coming against you.

Be at peace now. It is time for you to go now.

Matthew:

Bye Jesus. Thank you John Paul for your advice. Thank you Jesus and the Holy Spirit for giving me the idea record my sermons and make them into a book. That as very helpful to me.

By the way, Anna my friend says hello to you all.

Jesus:

Give Anna my love. I want thank her for being such a good friend to you. Give Niels my love also. He is a good man and he is too hard on himself. I want June to know that I love her dearly also.

Bye for now.

Bob:

How was that?

Matthew:

It really helped with my anxiety. The idea to rehearse my sermons was a good one that the Holy Spirit and Jesus gave to me. I am not sure whose idea it was. I guess I could say it was God’s idea. Thank you for taking me up today. I should not let my fears and worries keep me from God and what he has for me. I am so happy that you talked me into it.

Bye Bob.

Bob:

I am going to hang around here for a while and watch TV with you. You are a good person Matthew. Now proof read this and post it. I will be speaking to you more but this is the post for now.
