floor 1

When you think of “treasure in heaven” many think of some kind of extra jewels in your crown as a reward for a life of faithful obedience on earth. Thus plenty of people think “ah, I don’t care if my crown has extra jewels or my mansion is a bit bigger. Its not worth the suffering.” What they fail to realize is that the jewels and gems carry spiritual power, and they are not something you have to wait to go to heaven after death to use. They help you in your life and ministry while you are still on earth. So just because you lay up treasure in heaven, does not mean the treasure simply sitting there waiting. It is actively empowering you for life and ministry while you are alive on this earth.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 “If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames.”

Choice 1

While walking down a staircase I saw a vision of three gems set before me and God said,

“Choose your blessing that I will bless you with.”

He also said: “none of the choices are wrong or bad”

They were perfect spheres, wrapped in gold casing around the bottom and floating in the air in a row. On the left was a green gem. At the middle was a yellow gem. And on the right was a red stone.

I told God, “I will have to think about it and learn what each of these means before making the decision.”

God said, “It is not time-critical. You can take some time to decide.”

I got busy with things and was unable to discern the meaning of each gem and what it represented. Around a week later while in prayer, God gave me discernment to read the clear meaning of each gem:

The green one represented a prosperity blessing.

The red gem on the right was a NOW-anointing. It would bring an acceleration to the end of the trials and obstacles I faced.

The yellow gem in the middle was the hardest to read. It was not one specific thing, but more of a custom-made anointing made uniquely for me. Kind of like Joseph had the coat of many colors made for him, this one seemed to be all sorts of anointings God had made customized for my unique life and ministry. Full-time trader, intellectual, etc. All wrapped up in one. But it seemed to be a material anointing and material wisdom more so than spiritual.

Next, I could read the power-level of each gem. The green one was the weakest. It felt almost next to worthless. The red one was definitely stronger. But the yellow was the most powerful of all and I knew right away that it was the wise choice. After making this choice, and interesting thing happened. The red and green gems sacrificed themselves to feed into the yellow gem, to make it stronger. Kind of like how Moses rod turned into a serpent and ate the two false serpents. So the yellow became even more powerful.

Choice 2

About one week later, unexpectedly God gave me another similar choice. On the left and right were my old friends red and green, but in the middle this time there was a purple gem instead of yellow.

I asked God, “what does the purple mean?”

And the words “heart of sacrifice” came.

Wanted to choose the green and my inner greed really wanted it. But then I thought about the red and how nice it would be to have an accelerated end to the trials and obstacles I faced and all the extra productivity this would bring. Suddenly my discernment kicked in and I saw that this would be the wrong choice. That God was really looking for me to choose the heart of sacrifice. The most unpleasant and “undesirable” choice as it were to my soulish/fleshly nature. Wisdom kicked in and I saw how the purple stone was the one I truly needed for ministry. Ministry is all about putting others first and sacrificing ourself for God and others. God would not trust me as much if I carried the heart of greed and not of sacrifice. The purple was the right choice. After choosing it I felt an immediate increase in power and authority.

Suddenly I saw the yellow stone from the first vision hiding behind the purple gem as if hidden under its shell. I realized choosing the purple unlocked great increase to the yellow gem, the destiny anointing!

Afterwards God spoke “You do not have to wait until a vision like this to choose the heart of sacrifice. Put others first and pray for my help and you may choose the purple stone each day.”

Room 3

All of a sudden the vision became far more immersive. I was not only seeing the gems, but actually moving through a doorway and into a room. The floor was of sandy yellow stones, Egyptian-looking. The walls were the same color and the whole place just looked ancient. God gave me a cryptic hint “the things may not be as they appear to be.”

At the far end of the room and in the center on a platform were three flaming gems. The left one was red, the middle was orange, and the right was yellow. Each stone had continuous flames coming out and upwards as if on fire.

God spoke, “these are three trials.”

I started by examining the red stone. Up close it had a harsh violent burning pattern like when napalm is splashed on something and it cannot be put out. I knew this represented an intense harsh burning affliction. It would be a very short-term trial, but excruciating to bear.

I looked at the orange stone in the middle. Its flame pattern was a large WHOOMPH fireball rising up, but then completely evaporating into nothing whatsoever. Just the tiniest flickers left over. I assumed this must be a ridiculously big trial, but that would only last a day or two.

Lastly, the yellow burning gem on the right….. looking into it I saw a desert with smoldering all around. Like it did not represent an unbearable pain, but rather a longer-term frustration and deprivation. Like a desert that withholds resources. Like a parasite that just keeps robbing you, but you don’t notice it in an intense way day-by-day.

Neither of the gems on the left and right looked good whatsoever, so I decided to take another look at the orange to try to figure out what it signified. Immediately the thought came to mind that it represents ‘fear.’ Fear flares up a problem and tries to make it look large, but just as the fireball evaporated in seconds, there is no actual substance behind it. I knew this was the best one and told God right away, “I pick the orange one! This is definitely the best one. That’s my final answer.”

God laughed and said, “I never told you that you had to pick any of these.”

Say whaaaaat?

I had just picked myself a totally unnecessary trial!

Feeling tricked, but accepting my fate I resolved to be more careful and watch out for future tricks and traps which may occur.

A certain pattern is becoming obvious here. The middle gem is always the best choice. And yet in this vision I could have been deceived by choosing the burning yellow gem because the yellow was right choice in the first vision, even though the ‘burning’ yellow was an entirely different gem. That false pattern was the “trap.” The real pattern (so far) is that the center is always the best one. This corresponds to how the Bible states “do not turn aside to the left or right” and the book of Enoch mentions the middle gate contains the blessings while the left and right have curses (see article: Awakening the Wind)

Room 4

Exiting the room, I moved through the hallway which was darkly lit and of grey stonework, and proceeded the next room. Inside room 4 everything was very bright. The floor was light-blue tiles and the walls were either white or very light blue, it was hard to tell. This room was very bare, there was nothing in it whatsoever except for a ladder at the far-left corner; this is where the light was coming from. Walking over I gazed at the ladder, trying to figure out what the meaning was and what the test was. I heard the word “timing.” Confused and trying to figure out whether there was meaning to rungs and whether I had to climb by one or by twos……. Suddenly the Holy Ghost grabs me by the back of my shirt near the neck, pulls me backwards at 200 miles per hour, and then shoves me into room 5.

Room 5

Being in room 5, I felt like I had been teleported into the sky. I could feel this place was high up, an exalted heavenly place; like a person would feel in a zeppelin or at the top of a very high tower. The blue sky was visible through the windows at the boundaries of the room. This entire room was blue and the shapes and edges of things were distinguishable by being lighter or darker shades. The flooring was a blue tiles. In the center of the room on a coffee-table-shaped pedestal there were three orbs and after spending some time to pray and discern I read certain patterns. It felt like these would be my style of receiving from God and related to my journey in him.

The left orb felt like the Bahamas, pleasant, super-comfortable and peaceful like a vacation, but somewhat shallow; just like the Bahamas water is bright blue, but shallow.

The center gem was very blackish-purple. It was hard to discern what was inside of it, it felt as if it was resistant to being read. It was a crystal bulb-like shape, not quite spherical like the others. While gazing into it I saw a demon flash across its surface for the briefest millisecond. It became obvious that this choice was a trick and signified earthly wisdom, which is demonic (James 3:15, “This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.”).

The deep sapphire blue orb felt intense and refreshing. Like the feeling where you have been hard at work in the heat all day and then drink a Pepsi. I could feels the depths and how it representing deep and full experiences with God, not partways or shallow like the light-blue choice. But there was also greater intensity…. Not hardship, but just greater overall “intensity” of experience. This is the one I chose to receive.

Back in the hallway again. I asked God “Can I do room 4? Shouldn’t I be doing that one first? I don’t want to miss out if there is a blessing there.”

God replied, “why would you want to run right back to something that I just pulled you out of.”

It made sense. Just like in life God tries to pull us out of something that is dangerous, but we sometimes want to run right back without thinking.

Moving onwards, I proceeded down the hallway. There was a sweet brightness coming out of the cracks in the doorway to room 7,  but I thought I’d stop by room 6 first to see what it held inside…..

Room 6

Entering this room was like a throwback to medieval times. It was all grey brickwork, similar to how the hallway looked. There were burning torches on the walls to the left and right. On the far wall were shields and long banners, and at its center was a burning fireplace. In front of the fireplace was a square red carpet with golden trim around the borders. There was a tall table in front of the fireplace which had several weapons hovering over it, but the weapons were blurred and confused together and I could not make out what the choices were supposed to be.

I suddenly got the feeling as if the weapons could be used against me to attack and a creepy sensation as if this place could be some kind of trap. God then spoke,

“These weapons could empower you to attack the enemy. Or they could be an enemy attack allowed against you. There is a 50/50 chance of which one it will be, whether good or evil. If you accept this test, the door will lock behind you until you have made your choice. Even if the weapons are to be used against you, you will be unable to exit the room until you have chosen one. But you may safely leave now if you wish, without seeing what the choices are. You will miss out on either on the empowerment, or on the harm, whichever it turns out to be. Do you want safety, or to take the risk for extra empowerment?”

Well, being that one of my great passions is stock market trading, this evaluation of risk versus reward was nothing new to me. And one thing you learn right away in the stocks is that 50/50 odds are what is called “gamblers delight” (in other words they are trash odds). The only time you ever want to accept a 50/50 split is if the potential prize is much greater than the potential loss. And only if you know you can actually bear the loss.

In this case, as in the game of Poker where you are dealt an inferior hand I decided to FOLD this round and noped right out of that room as quickly as possible! God can always give us more empowerment for ministry, but it is unwise to open oneself to potential attack. God provides us a hedge of protection for a reason and we should never risk providing the devil with an unnecessary opening.

The funny thing is, earlier the same day was listening to an audiobook about the great banker JP Morgan and how he would literally lock business magnates in a room in his mansion until they completed the challenge of coming to an agreement. Similar to how I would be “locked” in to the challenge (whether good or bad) and unable to simply exit if I had accepted the room!

Room 7

Coming to room 7, the anticipation was enormous. Knowing the significance of the biblical number 7 and how it represents the end and completion, I felt this might be a final exam of sorts. The door to this chamber was a wooden arched double-door set. Going inside this room was golden-bright. The walls were gold and arched together somewhat like a dome but more like a bullet-shape. In the center was a large throne with while light covering its seat and with a brickwork path leading to it. Around the throne, between it and the walls was a donut-shaped grassy area like a park with many trees, like the garden of Eden.

As I entered my guide said “Can you tell which one is the tree of life?”

I could only view one tree in detail at a time and the rule in this chamber was that once you reject one tree, you cannot go back and choose it again, you are only stuck with whichever the choices are left.

At this point I felt somewhat like Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade movie, where he has to choose which cup is the holy grail!

First I saw an apple tree. My discernment interpreted this to represent the tree of knowledge of good and evil. After all, an apple is what we give to teachers (who give us knowledge). Also, artists usually depict the Biblical tree of knowledge as an apple tree. Obviously I did not want to choose this one and so rejected it and passed on.

Next I saw a fig tree…. I knew this tree represented the gateway of timing, and everything to do with time and seasons. Thinking to scripture the only time I remember the fig tree mentioned is when Christ cursed it. My thought is if he cursed it, well then I don’t want it! Christ would never have cursed a tree that represents the tree of life. HARD PASS.

Next I saw a tree with large slabs of orange fruit like papaya. As I got closer to inspect, the leaves came into focus and it was the most beautiful amazing thing I have ever seen. The leaves were an opaque semi-transparent white, and they were shaped like bird feathers. These leaves were covered with the most incredible iridescent rainbow coating. The type of moving rainbow you see on the bubble when children blow bubbles, or when you spill certain chemicals on the ground and they form that chaotic moving rainbow pattern.

Something told me this was a wisdom tree. I felt the need to distinguish between the orange fruit and rainbow leaves. As the Revelation 22:2 states “the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations.” I understood the iridescent rainbow leaves to be the actual wisdom and the orange fruit to represent the prosperity and success that is the “fruit” (result) of putting wisdom into practice. (Regarding the fruit: Proverb 8:19 “My fruit is better than gold yea, than fine gold;”)(The color gold is like orange)

Suddenly the scripture came to mind “She is a tree of life to them which find her.”

Now I was extremely fortunate to have just finished reading proverbs only a week ago and have this important verse fresh in mind. I was about 80% sure that the “she” was referring to Wisdom, but not actually 100% sure! I really wished it was possible to stop and Google the verse just to make absolute certain, but of course I was in the middle of a test and that simply would not do.

So I told God “yep, this is it! I choose this one! This is definitely the one.”

And then felt the impartation of wisdom. I just wanted to stay and hug that tree and never let go, as if my life depended on it.

God smiled and then said “In your search for the tree of life, did you forget to also consider the Throne?”

All of a sudden it became clear. Although wisdom is a tree of life, the truly most important tree of life is OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER!

How easy is it to get so focused on all the good things God provides and enjoying his creation that we get so busy and neglect the relationship with the One on the Throne! The error of Gnosticism is to pursure spiritual knowledge rather than our relationship with God and this error caused severe division among the early church.

Adam and Eve’s sin was to choose knowledge before wisdom. God wanted them to first increase their wisdom so they would later be able to handle the knowledge of good and evil. God did not plan on permanently withholding that tree from them, but they were not ready. Adam also neglected his relationship with God, as scripture states he was lonely. He did not even communicate his loneliness to God or have that type of close relationship where you talk about what is really bothering you or on your heart. There are TWO trees of life, but they are not separate. They are connected. Wisdom is beside God’s throne, as stated in the apocrypha (Wisdom of Solomon 9:4, "give me the wisdom that sits by thy throne, and do not reject me from among thy servants.")

---

At this point the vision faded and I was back in front of my computer. It was around 4 or 5 am. I quickly wrote down everything I had experienced in point-form and afterwards went around and did a couple simple households tasks. All of a sudden the thought came to mind, “Maybe I should just check once more to make sure I am not missing out, whether God wants me to go into room 4.”

I asked God for permission and whether he would let me access room 4 and whether it was even a good idea to do so. I saw a picture of a “green light” and then reentered the vision. Walking back into room 4 I approached the ladder in the corner, but this time its rungs were moving continuously upwards like an escalator. I studied it for a second, then hopped on….. and disappeared into the light at the ceiling, carried upwards into the second floor.

The revelation later came, this test was all about TIMING. The ladder and its elevation were very good, but done out of God’s timing it would have taken me to the second floor prematurely, and I would have missed out on all the blessings in the 5th and 7th room. That’s why the Holy Spirit grabbed me and yanked me away so aggressively. It was God trying to protect me from doing something in the wrong order. Sometimes in our own lives, God shows us something good he has in store, but we need to complete certain things first and in a certain order. Trying to jump ahead to our “favorite” parts of God’s plan can turn a blessing into a curse.

Regarding the gemstones God told me we all make choices like these everyday without realizing it. Accepting heavenly treasure, or being robbed by Satan’s traps. Heavenly treasure is so much more than just shiny gems or extra jewels in a crown. They are empowerment for life and ministry while still on this earth. God’s treasure is worth fighting and sacrificing for!

2nd floor

Looking toward the second floor, from a perspective outside the building I saw demonic imps taunting me out of all of the windows saying “you won’t be able to pass through here.” 

God said “you can skip this floor if you wish” 

But I did not want to miss out on plundering the enemy and said “not a chance, I’m not about to miss out on taking the enemy’s treasure. 

God said “some of the tests ahead of you will be in the spirit and some in the natural and you will be switching back and forth at times to pass these challenges.” 

I asked God what time the vision would occur for the 2nd floor and he brought up the scripture:
“Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” 

Walking in, it looked like an apartment hallway, where you exit from the stairwell. At the entrance, an angel held out a platter with three weapon choices: A hatchet, a morning star (spiked club), and an arrow. Being greedy, I grabbed all three of them and then ran inside. The hallway was so dark and had a foreboding feel. 

I entered the first room. The floor was multicolored neon-lighting tiles. The walls and roof were rotating, a black dome like outer space with stars rotating. It was kind of dizzying. Across the room there was a little 4-foot tall demon which looked like “baby bowser” from the super-Mario franchise. It had a mischievous expression on its face and was standing as if guarding something, which I assumed to be the door to the next room. It looked at me. I looked at it. Neither of us did anything. The thought came to mind “I am probably supposed to kill it.” I took an arrow and got it ready. That demon did not even flinch or try to protect itself. It was still just standing there staring forward as if oblivious to what was happening. I shot it with the arrow and it made a little screaming noise and collapsed. Suddenly two of its friends came from the next room and starting dragging it to safety. I quickly shot each of them with an arrow as well. Then walked over and bashed in their heads with the morning star. All of a sudden I noticed a treasure chest right where the demon had been standing. I knew the chest represented things God had given me, but which satan had stolen from my life due to believing his lies or being tricked by his deceit. Upon opening the chest, I felt an amazing impartation of power and restoration. This felt incredible and more tangible than any of the impartations from floor 1.  

Entering the next room there was this buff devil which looked like a ninja-turtle which was guarding the door to room 3. I spoke “the arrow of the Lord” and shot him with arrows in the head and neck, then ran forward and used my hatchet on his neck and then bashed in his head with my morning star to finish him off. Looking around I was expecting that with this larger demon there would be an ever larger treasure chest or bigger reward for slaying it. The search yielded disappointed and I was unable to find any treasure chest or reward for defeating him. The thought then came to search the body. Straightaway I found a set of keys around his neck and took them with me and opened the next door. 

Suddenly there was this lionlike thing coming at me in room 3, making very menacing, ferocious roars and growls. It was dark and I did not even see what it looked like, but knew it was a spirit of fear. Same routine….. arrows, hatchet, then spiked club. This fight went by so quickly, I could barely remember what went on in this room so as to write it down, and needed to go into prayer just to be able to recall the details of what actually went on in this scene. I do not recall receiving any reward or keys from this room. 

The next room there were three little demons guarding some kind of desk or control panel. I shot the one on the right and it fell immediately, then shot the middle one, but it remained standing. I attacked it with the hatchet and club, but it was being very resilient. The thought came to mind that one must be their leader. Taking a break from attacking the middle one, I figured it would be easy to take out the left one with a couple hits. After making short work of it, I resumed hacking away at the center one until he collapsed. At this point, I noticed two small angels beside me. The one I saw clearly looked around 10 years old with medium-long golden hair and a very genderless appearance. It was absolutely impossible to tell whether it was a male or female. In these little angels hands there were swords, which were very small. More like daggers than actual swords. I wondered how useful these angels would actually turn out to be and if they would actually make any difference, seeing how relatively weak they looked. 

The room was very dark and I could not even tell whether the object in front of me was a desk or a control panel. Trying to study it, the vision was so grainy and it was impossible to make out any detail. God kept giving me a hint into my spirit, “there is a way to attack the enemy in the next room before actually entering the room.” I looked around and saw a picture and moved it aside off of the wall. There was a small hole hidden behind the where the picture had been. I saw six small demons surrounding one tall leader devil. Taking the arrow, I lined up the leader until feeling confidence, then let it loose to assassinate him. Knowing we could not stay hidden and not really having a clue what to do I screamed “CHARGE!!!” and shoved open the door. It was total pandemonium. I attacked the demonic leader while my little buddy angels wrestled with the smaller imps. Soon we had them all whipped. The expression on the little angel’s face was a look of awe, like a child seeing its first fireworks spectacle, as if it was so excited to participate in its first battle against the forces of darkness. It also looked as if in awe of me, as a fan is to a rock star. It was excited to be able to work with a human to tear down the enemy’s kingdom. I ordered my angels “strip the bodies.” The angels went around, looking in pockets, taking out a couple coins here and there. The real prize was the keys on the leader’s necklace however, which my little angel handed to me. 

At this point the vision exited and my focus was back in the natural world. On my lunchbreak, I had talked with a co-worker about church the previous day. This co-worker brought up the conversation again. There was another co-worker in the room and God told me to witness to him. For some reason, perhaps fear of man, complacency, lack of regard for timing…. I ignored the instructions and did nothing. Later on in that shift, in the locker room I saw a safety poster for how to treat a dehydrated person. It read “offer sips of water, but do not force them to drink.” I knew that this was God reminding me to share the gospel with this person, but not force them if they do not want to continue the conversation. I wanted to share the word, but there were so many other people in the locker room and I was embarrassed. I looked up at a locker and it had a sticker with a company name “WARN.” It felt like God was manipulating me into having to share the gospel right then and there. I just had such trouble with the fact that there were so many other people in the area and I thought of it was a one-on-one conversation.  

The co-worker left without me having witnessed to him. Suddenly I felt the sadness, anger, and frustration of God against my disobedience. I have only felt this feeling a few times in my life and it is the worst possible thing you can have happen. The words “DISOBEDIENT” kept repeating in my mind from God. I knew this was very serious. I am driving home and usually listen to an audiobook, but was repenting the whole way back. I could feel God’s anger and distress over what had happened. I heard a conversation within the Trinity that said “after all I gave him, I gave him everything he asked for….. and he would DISOBEY.” Then God said “you hurt me,” which was heartbreaking to hear. Next I felt like judgements and punishments were being thought of and prepared for how to discipline me over this. I overheard God say “perhaps I should do this” and mentioned a certain destruction that could happen at my workplace and I cried “please no, have mercy.” Then he mentioned “perhaps I could do this” and showed another destruction but in my personal life and I cried “have mercy Father, I repent.” 

Upon getting home it was the day the garbage truck comes and my indoor garbage was full. Originally I was planning to take it out before he came, but realized there was nothing else besides repentance that mattered now. Usually after getting home I also check on my stocks right away, but I knew they would be instantly cursed even I even dared to think about opening them. Usually I’ll eat a ton of snacks after arriving back, but I dared not touch food. 

I went straight to my knees and poured out my heart to God, confessing my weakness in evangelism and apologizing for how my disobedience had hurt God. My prayer was split 50/50 between praying for the co-workers salvation and then repenting to God and asking for help. I prayed for his protection against traffic accidents, suicide, heart attack, and pretty much every possible death I could think of that might happen to him, until at least I head another chance to share the gospel with him.ha After one hour of prayer I was so tired so as to be useless, but set my alarm two hours early. After sleeping for six hours I woke up and still felt the seriousness of God. I got straight on my knees and began praying again. As soon as I got on my physical knees, God spoke “you’re safe here.” After two hours of prayer, mostly on my knees, I said the words “please God, help me witness to _____ as EARLY as possible in the shift. I don’t want to have any delay whatsoever.” The moment I said the word EARLY, God’s mood entirely lightened. After all of this repenting and prayer, breakthrough was finally achieved. It felt as if God had saved my co-worker just from the prayer alone. I felt the joy and lightness of God once again. 

Upon getting back to work for the next shift, I was in a mission-critical state. My one and only concern was the fulfilling of God’s assignment for me to evangelize this co-worker. Early in the shift, I walked down to his area, but he was very busy with a product switch. I just invited him to a breakfast “on me” and he seemed interested but a bit confused and did not have time to talk about it at that time. I felt the weight lift off, as I had tried to setup an opportunity to evangelize. Later on in that shift, at a coffee break I finally caught up with him in the lunchroom. It was just me, him, and one other person who was just finishing their meal. The seconds felt like hours as I was waiting for this dude finish and to get out so I could have one-on-one time to evangelize. Of course my backup plan was just to evangelize to him anyways if he was about to leave, even if there were others in the room. At this point, my fear of God was so increased so as to drown out the fear of man in comparison. Now it was just me and him in the room. I asked him, 
“___, do you have any curiosity about faith, the afterlife, or religion”  
He responded, “nope, don’t think about it at all” 

I replied “so you have no interesting in talking about it whatsoever?” 

He responded, “nope, none whatsoever, thank you” then put headphones in. 

Well it was unfortunate that he did not want to accept Christ, but at this point I was only concerned about completing the assignment properly, so as to not incur the anger of God. With the assignment now complete, my thoughts drifted back to clearing the second floor and when I would face room 6. All of a sudden it became clear. ROOM 6 WAS THIS TEST. I was battling room 6 when fighting over whether or not to obey God in evangelism. But the actual test was REPENTANCE. God was evaluating the quality of my repentance, this was the test in room 6. Although I stumbled on obedience, God passed me for true heartfelt repentance and allowed me to move forward. 

Room 7

The next day, on my first day off from work, right after waking up I thought I heard God say something like “time is of the essence.” And felt he wanted me to re-enter the vision to do clear room 7. I was still kind of groggy from just waking up and wanted to make a coffee to clear up my head, check a few emails….. one email was my annual property tax bill and I was curious how big it would be and opened it to look. Again I heard God say “time is of the essence.” The clock was currently 6:35PM and he said I need to clear the room before 7:00PM. I put the coffee in the freezer and opened the Bible to prepare my spirit by reading two chapters of Proverbs. I then realized there was no time to prepare with devotions or anything. I would have to just fight as is. I guzzled the cooled-down coffee and then closed my eyes and prepared for the fight. 

“lets do this” 

Re-entering the vision I took a scan at the door to see what was behind it, and there was this ferocious wolf-type thing. I prayed for the boldness of God, then entered. It could only attack me through fear, not through any actual hurt. I took it out and it had a dog-collar type thing with a medallion and key, both of which I took. I now wanted to search for any treasure but the room was very dark with the only light being rows of various candles at the far end like in a temple; it was too dark to see anything. This time I prayed for the light of God to enter the place and after a few minutes of prayer the room lightened. I could not find any treasure, but then scanned the door at the end and saw that the treasure was behind it. Opening the door led to the treasure chamber, which was a small room like a walk-in closet. There was a heap of all sorts of gems and gold coins. I started gathering and instructed my helper angels to do the same. 

Although initially belittling the importance of the helper angels, God brought the verse to mind “be careful that you do not despise one of these little ones, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” To be honest, they were quite useful in helping with the simple tasks such as taking out the low-level demons, searching bodies for keys, gathering treasure. Despite me picturing warrior angels as being more “beefy” and masculine with giant swords, they have to start somewhere and they probably all started out small like the ones I was given to work with before earning their stripes and becoming more powerful. 

After gathering plenty of treasure, I felt I had the choice to move on. But being greedy I wanted ALL the treasure, despite not being sure how we could even carry it all. So, we kept gathering. Notably I found a longsword like the type William Wallace would use. “Now we’re in business baby” I thought to myself. Then had the feeling I should give my hatchet to one of the small angels to use, since I would no longer really need it. When it comes time to do the slicing and dicing I’ll be using the longsword anyways. I struggled for a few moments however, as to whether to give it up, but knew it was the right thing to do. As I passed the little angel the hatchet, receiving it caused him to increase in power, authority, and size and this angel now had a more matured, sterner expression on its face in place of the previous innocence. At this point, we have around 80% of the treasure in our sacs, but there are still plenty of coins and such lying around.  

God spoke, “you need to leave right away. The army of demonic reinforcements is coming at exactly 7:00 and I have not prepared you to face them.” 

The Holy Spirit spoke, “if you are not off of this floor when they arrive, they will take all of your treasure and you will have to exit empty-handed.” 

The scripture came to mind,  

“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first” (Matthew 12:43-45)

I looked at my clock (objects in the room were still visible, despite the vision) and the clock was at 6:56PM. There was still plenty of treasure to grab. I told me angels to triage, grabbing only the most valuable treasures, and leaving the lesser coins behind. Meanwhile I started trying to look for the exit for how to leave the place before the demonic army came. The thought came to mind that we might have to run through all of the seven rooms back to the original entrance, but then again, there was not enough time for that. I prayed for wisdom over how to escape and get to floor three. Searching more in detail all of a sudden I noticed an elevator button in the room. It seemed kind of ridiculous to me that the treasure room would be an elevator so I hesitated for a moment, but then remembered the verse in Corinthians, “the natural mind does not comprehend the things of the spirit for they are foolishness to him.” The time was now 6:58 and the demonic army would be coming at any moment. I pressed the “up” button and our treasure room/elevator ascended and I felt the darkness being left behind and a peace as we exited on floor 3. Unfortunately, I was only able to gather 80% of the treasure instead of 100% and God said “that is the difference between obeying “fairly quickly” versus instant obedience. 

Accessing Floor 3

 Being at the entrance of the 3rd floor we were now in safety. The first thought that came to mind was “you should give to God of your treasure.” I saw two options. The first was that I could give him a tithe of the treasure (Old Testament). The second option was to offer him ALL of the treasure (New Testament). I was really feeling possessive at this point and a part of me really did not want to give up my “hard earned” taken from the many battles. I had to struggle with it and go into prayer to overcome the spirit of greed. Then I offered God all of the treasure. I knew we could not fight properly carrying these heavy sacs of coins and jewels. Giving it up to God was a type of safekeeping in a sense. After giving God all the treasure (except the sword), I saw the coins as if they were “pixels” coming together and forming objects (like a 3D mosaic). I asked God what was being made and he said he was creating tools that I would need for competing on the levels ahead. Wow! The moral of the story is that when we give to God, he always gives us back more than we could have ever made on our own. 

God said “In heaven, coins are the atoms that I create blessings out of. When you give me your coins in tribute by giving to ministry or to the needy, I can create far greater blessings for your life and ministry.” 

After doing this, I saw the first door ahead of me was an “eye of the needle” where you can just only squeeze through. For those who are not aware, the eye of the needle is an opening in ancient city walls which was only barely large enough for a man to shuffle through sideways. You could not really carry anything substantial through. This was done so that when the city gates were shut at night, individual persons could still pass through as they would not be a threat to the city slowly coming in one-by-one. An invading army would have no way of using this point to attack, because the city guards could make mincemeat of the invaders as they tried to come in one-by-one. The disadvantage to this gate is that a wealthy person would have to leave all their bags of possessions behind to be able to fit through. So I was glad at having offered the heavenly treasure to God to steward because I’d have had to leave it behind anyways. The other point God spoke is that this gate represents FASTING. You cannot fit through with a big belly.
