The Vision
You know the old saying, “Hindsight is always 20/20.” Well, when I look
back on the sequences of events that led up to the night I
received my vision, God’s plan is crystal clear.
It started in 1987 when Pastor A. L. Gill wrote a book called Not Made
For Defeat. It has since been revised and updated and is
now called Destined For Dominion. Pastor Gill was
attending a Healing Explosion convention in Seattle where my
husband Fred was assisting. Fred was helping set up tables,
booths and anything else that all the attendees needed. During
the convention Fred passed by Pastor Gill’s book table and
noticed one of his books. Yes, it was Not Made For Defeat.
Something (we now know was the Holy Spirit) compelled him to
buy that book for me. When I asked him what it was about, he
said he wasn’t sure but thought it had something to do with
spiritual warfare. This is an area of my life I am all too
familiar with.
I read the first few chapters and thought WOW!! What a great book! The
next evening, after Fred and our two young children were
asleep, I sat down in my favorite rocking chair to read. I
felt very strongly that I must finish the book that night. I
did finish around 2:00am. I laid the book down on my lap and
just sat there in total peace and quiet letting my mind go
back and forth over the book, remembering all my favorite
parts. It would have been so easy to sit there all night in
that quiet, meditative, prayerful place but, it was late and I
needed to get to bed. I placed the book on the table next to
my chair and as I started to get up - it happened.
Instantly, it was if a huge hole opened up in my ceiling and this
incredible, golden, shimmering, glistening, awesomely
beautiful beam of light shot directly in front of me. The
energy from it was so powerful that it sent me backward into
my chair. I was absolutely stunned and speechless. I couldn’t
move at all. The only way I can describe this light is that it
was if it were alive. It emanated with such energy. I think if
I had been able to move, I could have reached out and actually
touched it. Then, as I sat there, dumbfounded, staring at this
awesome light, three very large, golden, beautiful
old-fashioned keys appeared - just floating there inside the
light. They seemed to have some kind of writing on them but I
didn’t recognize the language. I was in such a state of shock
that my heart was pounding so hard I felt it was going to come
right out of my chest. Then, I heard a voice, not audible, but
in my spirit. It was overwhelming! I believe with all my heart
and soul that it was The Holy Spirit speaking to me. He said
“These symbolize The Keys of the
Kingdom of Heaven and they are to go into All
the world so All can know.”
As suddenly as they appeared, the vision of the Keys was gone. I have no
idea how long this vision lasted. It seemed like forever and
instant all at the same time.
I jumped out of my chair and ran upstairs, waking Fred with such
excitement he probably thought the house was on fire. He was
able to calm me down enough to grasp what I had just
experienced. Needless to say, I did NOT sleep that night!
For the next few days I tried desperately to draw what I had seen but my
skills as an artist are quite inadequate. So, we contacted a
friend who is a talented artist. He said he would be thrilled
to help. He drew each key as I described them to him. We were
all pretty emotional.
So many miraculous things have happened along the way that it would take
too much time to list them now. Let me just say that, step by
step, God has led the way providing everything and everyone. I
once heard Pastor Perry Stone say that God never gives a
vision without a provision. I can truly attest to
that.
It took a couple off months of prayer and waiting to determine how to go
about this “Great Commission.” Once again, The Holy Spirit
showed me, in a very special way, how to do it. It would take
too long to explain it all but now I had a plan. I’ll make
them small and put them on a necklace.
We took the drawings to a jeweler and a few days later I was holding in my
hand, actually touching, those three beautiful, wonderful
Keys of the Kingdom, with Greek words written on
them:
Authority-for
the Authority of the name of Jesus,
Power-for
the Power of the Holy Spirit in us,
and
Dominion-for
our Dominion over All the earth and everything in it.
When you wear The Keys of the Kingdom you too are taking them into ALL THE
WORLD sharing the knowledge of our Authority, Power and
Dominion, so that we can overcome sickness, addictions,
demonic oppression, poverty, etc. Satan does NOT want us to
have this knowledge! Wearing our Keys gives us an incredible
opportunity to open the door and share the Good
News! WE CAN OVERCOME!
Victory through our Lord Jesus
