Bethel

Genesis 28:16-19.And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.  And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. And he called the name of that place Bethel:
Just returned from an awesome conference in Altus, Oklahoma. Such a blessing to be a part of so many prophetic and apostolic ministries. As part of my message today, I spoke on open heavens and open gates. I spoke about Jacob finding an open heaven and hearing God's voice. He saw angels ascending and descending on a ladder from that very spot. And when he realized that he had discovered an opening into the heavenlies, he built an altar of a stone and poured out the oil as an act of consecration and to make a memorial of the site. And so we did the same today. We were given seven stones and we prayed over them and anointed them with oil and wine (symbolizing the new wine of the Holy Spirit) and then we consecrated and made a memorial of where God showed us an open heaven at the southwest gate.
What does this have to do with the everyday prophetic life? It means that in those places that you have found God,(such as in your heart) in those places where you have seen angels ascending and descending, consecrate it with oil (the oil of anointing) and wine (the power of the Holy Spirit). And watch transformation begin! This Pastor Susan Living the Everyday Prophetic Life and rejoicing in the open heavens.

Interpreting a Vision

So you have had a vision and now you are not sure what to do with what you have seen. Well, let me begin by saying that visions, dreams, and prophetic words are like onions. They have layers. That is why I tell people to write them down. God's words to us are true and yea, and amen! so when you receive a word from Him, keep a record of it. That way when it comes time for prophetic activation to occur you have the roadmap written down. In order to interpret your vison or dream you need a vision dictionary or encyclopedia if you will. A dictionary will give you basic knowledge of objects, colors, numbers etc but an encyclopedia view will give you the depth and breadth of interpretation that you need. Where do you get these materials? I have some blogs available on prophetic colors, prophetic objects, etc...But developing your own vision interpretation dictionary and encyclopedia is important. When you see a vision here are some basic steps to take
1.Write it down. Not just the basics but
try to remember details. Timing, places, names, clothing and colors. What were you feeling at the time of the vision, fearful, excited, angry, joyful. Who else was there in the vision?
2. The dictionary part: look at each item individually for pieces of information that you can readily see.
3. The encyclopedia approach: now gather up the important timeline of the vision. What happened and in what sequence.
4 Finally the most important. Ask the Holy Spirit to grant you wisdom and revelation as you seek to learn more about what He has shown you.
These basic steps are key to understanding the vsion that God has given to you.
