This is a repeat of the vision I had 2 years before followed by the breakthrough-
Suddenly, I was inside another person's body, I did not know whose, but I "Knew" that I knew this person "intimately"? I say that with a question mark because how can could I know a person "Intimately" and not know "who it is"?
Looking back on the event I understand that it was a supernatural experience, but at the time I was caught up in events I had no control over and yet was aware of the outlandish circumstances, this was "impossible!"
Then, the person who I was "In" (I was seeing thru their eyes), I saw a person come from the left side come to the person whose "eyes" I was seeing thru. Then I saw come from the right side come and join the same person whose eyes I was seeing thru.
Then, the three people came "together" to turn and worship God. But as they worshiped God, I KNEW that these three could not come to know God fully, because of the person in the middle, the person whose eyes I was seeing thru!
My brother in the Lord walked up to me after church service and said to me "You need to get into your Prayer language".
I opened my mouth to respond that I didn't have it and and had been struggling to get "speaking in tongues", whatever that was. Instead, I thought for a second and responded to him "Is this from the Lord?" He said "YES". I went home and that night meditated on this.
You see, the man who walked up to me I did not know very well, but from what I understood he had a prophetic anointing and was known to walk up to strangers, even me, and speak a Word from the Lord to them. Rob was his name, I did not know him well, he was a quiet person.
Anyway, that evening as I thought about what the Lord said thru Rob, I reasoned that if the Lord said that I needed to "Get into my prayer language" then I already had it. And I knew that speaking in tongues (prayer language) was a free gift, like all gifts, but more importantly I knew the Lord would not withhold from any of His their "PRAYER LANGUAGE".
Feeling stupid, I began to make myself utter sounds (I made sure no one was within earshot of me!) After a while, I settled on what may have been something, but it sounded like gibberish to me and it wasn't much. Tired, I went to bed.
Shortly after my head hit my pillow, all of a sudden I KNEW WHAT THE VISION MEANT that I had 2 years before!
ALL THREE PERSONS WERE ME!
The person whose eyes that I was looking thru, the person in the middle, the person who I knew intimately, but didn't know spiritually, represents MY SOUL. It can be said that we see life thru the "Windows of our soul". The person on the left represented my PHYSICAL BODY. This is who we are in the NATRUAL REALM.
The person on the right represented my SPIRIT, who we are IN THE SPIRIT.
In the natural, when we come together body soul and spirit, we cannot come to know God FULLY thru my "soulish" understanding. Thru this revelation I eventually discovered that when we are born in THIS WORLD, we are BODY SOUL and lastly, SPIRIT. But when you read the bible, it is always the opposite, SPIRIT soul and body.
When we are first born of this world, we need to address the needs of the physical body, the FLESH to survive. Our soul grows in understanding of our natural world. Eventually we begin to go beyond these basics and develop in spiritual matters. But we are still "sons of Adam", and we will spiritually reproduce the "Ways of the Natural world".
If and when we become "Born-again" the order is reversed, SPIRIT SOUL AND THEN BODY. We are spiritual babes and our soul must mature in spiritual knowledge to grow and prosper. Lastly, we wait for our NEW BODIES in heaven.
As I mentioned, it took me 2 years and finally speaking in tongues to get revelation of the vision. But as soon as I spoke my spirit language I received revelation of the vision. I was thrilled to get the understanding of the vision, but in the course of the 2 years, I had come to understand the Gifts of the spirit and I had learned that we can only know God IN THE SPIRIT. So the revelation of the vision seemed anti-climactic, no new news to me!
But of course and as usual I was wrong. I began to see how little I understood SPIRIT SOUL AND BODY.
