Aboard INFINITY And Beyond


A close friend of mine is currently traveling alone on an Alaskan cruise. She left last Thursday on this trip wondering why she even decided to take the trip because her enthusiasm had dramatically waned. Prior to her leaving I told her that I was praying the Lord would reveal to her His plan and the divine appointments He had in store for her. Yesterday I received the following message from my friend while her ship was docked in Ketchekan, Alaska ...

I have felt a little out of place on this trip trying to figure out why I came. I may have just found out why.... I am just wandering around killing time enjoying the awesome weather. I went into one shop that is so different from all if the run of the mill souvenir shops. (she told me that she was drawn to the expensive shofar in the window) It has very expensive hand carved intricate pieces, large heavy stones that are gorgeous, but lots and lots of totem poles and ritual masks, and native American spirit stuff ...


So I am strolling around in there thinking about how much $$ they have tied up in inventory and no customers. Then it happened ... the Lord said, "Tell the owner that I will not bless this business as long as these idols are here!!"

Oh my gosh!! So I went to the guy behind the counter and told him that I am a born again Christian and what I was about to say was only out of obedience. I told him what God had said. He was blown away. He is a Christian and his partner is a Messianic Jew. His partner told him that they needed to extract some of their merchandise, due to the reasons I had just mentioned. They had a prophet come in and pray and confirmed what the partner had said, so they removed much of what they had. As time has passed, he started to add a lot of it back because he felt like they had so much money tied up in it that they needed try to recoup their investment. As of late, sales are way down and they are suffering greatly financially as well as his relationship with his partner. Also, his sister just died yesterday. He said he was not going to open today but only came in to work until noon just to get his mind off of the loss of his sister.

He had tears in his eyes as he thanked me and knew it was the Word of the Lord!!!


This man was given another opportunity. The Lord chose to send my friend all the way from Texas to Alaska to give him a message that confirmed what his partner and another ministry leader had already spoken to him! Isn't it amazing how much the Lord really loves us when He patiently waits on us to obey the words He is trying to get across to us through others? Do not despise the words of your friends ... or the stranger who may just happen upon your path ... the Lord may have sent them!

THE HEAVENS DECLARE THE GLORY OF GOD: NASA

This morning I received the following message over BREAKING CHRISTIAN NEWS that immediately connected in my spirit with the space/Heavenly theme of Michael's and my new website: http://www.hearingeyesministries.com/.

As we view the miracle creation of our universe we see the HAND OF GOD in His creation.  HIS GLORY IS DECLARED!!  Enjoy the link that will be listed below as it reveals the new space photos that mirror what our hearts and spirits feel as we view them ... the GLORY OF GOD simply cannot be hidden ... it is on full display ... just look up.  The Word of God says that the "pure in heart will see God" ...

"Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God."  Matthew 5:8

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God: NASA Explorer Delivers Pictures of Millions of Galaxies, Stars, Asteroids
News Release (April 20, 2011)
"WISE is providing the newest-generation 'address book' of the infrared universe with the precise location and brightness of hundreds of millions of celestial objects." -Roc Cutri

REPORTER'S NOTE: Some of these photos taken from space make you feel as though you're sailing through the universe. To me, they demonstrate that the heavens certainly do display the Glory of God! Indeed, how can anyone look at them and not believe in a Creator? Btw, my favorite is #13. What's yours? -Teresa Neumann, BCN.

Astronomers across the globe can now sift through hundreds of millions of galaxies, stars and asteroids collected in the first bundle of data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission.

"Starting today thousands of new eyes will be looking at WISE data, and I expect many surprises," said Edward (Ned) Wright of UCLA, the mission's principal investigator.

WISE launched into space on Dec. 14, 2009 on a mission to map the entire sky in infrared light with greatly improved sensitivity and resolution over its predecessors. From its polar orbit, it scanned the skies about one-and-a-half times while collecting images taken at four infrared wavelengths of light. It took more than 2.7 million images over the course of its mission, capturing objects ranging from faraway galaxies to asteroids relatively close to Earth.

AN EMERALD ENCIRCLING THE THRONE

On my 60th birthday last August 2010 I was given a precious gift from my sister - an "Aurora Borealis necklace" that she had found at a recent estate sale.  I cannot tell you how much that meant to me.  Amazingly, it perfectly matched a pair of earrings I purchased perhaps 15 years ago at an antique store.

As you look at the following video that was made over NORWAY ... I will share that my sister and I are both 1/4 Norwegian, our Mom is 1/2, and our late Granddaddy Johnson was full Norwegian.  The scripture shared from Revelation 4:1 is the one that is behind my own email address and is the scripture on my personal page on Michael's and my new  www.hearingeyesministries.com/ website. 

Lastly, I will never ever forget one night as I was working as a flight attendant and the Captain of our plane came on the speaker to tell everyone to shut down their overhead lights so that all could see the "Northern Lights" out the left side of the plane.  It was STUNNING to say the least as I viewed the colorful lights across the entire sky!  WOW!! 

I just find these details that were reported this morning ... "signs and wonders" ... fascinating and so meaningful to me personally and thought I would share them with you.  Enjoy the short message and VIDEO below that I just read on BREAKING CHRISTIAN NEWS  ... I did!!
  
Stunning Video of Aurora Borealis over Norway
Aimee Herd (March 24, 2011)

"After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in Heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.' At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in Heaven with Someone sitting on it. And the One who sat there had the appearance of jasper and ruby. A rainbow that shone like an emerald encircled the throne."
Revelation 4:1-3

Videographer Terje Sorgjerd says he spent a week capturing "one of the biggest aurora borealis shows in recent years."
Indeed his time-lapse video is absolutely beautiful, as it reveals dancing ribbons of lime-green wisps of light in the skies over Norway.  Watching this footage reminds me of the beautiful colors described in Revelation 4, as John is "caught up" into the very throne-room of God.

Sorgjerd notes that the video was "shot in and around Kirkenes and Pas National Park bordering Russia, at 70 degrees north and 30 degrees east.  Temperatures around -25 Celsius. Good fun," he adds.

The remarkable video is set against the soundtrack from Gladiator, and the song "Now We Are Free." Watch it at the source link provided.
