The purpose of this book is to demonstrate that you can experience the spiritual world of the Kingdom of Heaven that is all around us every day. God wants us all to see His beauty every day, physically in our daily experience. In short, this book will introduce people to the idea that they can have spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear, and will teach them that it is possible to live in the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth every day.

People will eventually come to understand that the spirit world is, and has been, present with us every day of our lives. The world does not change, rather, when our perception of it changes, the world around us appears to change. It is we that change, not the world around us. But when our perception changes, we begin to realize that we have the power to change the world around us.

It is our spiritual awakening that is the key to the prison cell of life that confines us. We were born free, with a freedom that no one can take from us. The prison cell that confines us is a barrier of our own minds and can be eliminated by perceiving the spiritual world around us. Perceiving the spirit world around us will render the prison cell effect of the law to be powerless. We will perceive our freedom.

Contents include God inspired poems and pictures that will speak to the reader. The meaning will be revealed to the reader when they approach God Himself in prayer, and ask Him to open the door to their understanding. Seek and ye shall find, ask and ye shall receive, knock and the door will be open unto you. No man can reveal the meaning of what God originated. Ask God, and He will provide answers for you.

This book is written in a diary format. Thoughts were written down as they arrived. What started as a documentation of ideas transformed into actions as poems were written and overlaid on photographs. These poems were written for a specific person, although the message that each conveys holds spiritual ingredients that can be used by anyone. I believe these pictures to be another example of a spiritual truth overlaid onto a physical understanding.

Several visions with spiritual meaning came prior to keeping a journal, and are included in this book. The visions continue and have become more concrete as they have come with an understanding that they are really a physical demonstration of a spiritual idea. Using the logic of how something happens in the physical world to explain how something happens in the spiritual world is a common theme that will be repeated over and over in the writings to follow. Applying the tools of the physical world systems to the spiritual world is paramount in understanding the Kingdom of Heaven.

God gives a word to deliver to a specific person and it almost always comes in conjunction with a vision. The vision helps to bring purpose to the poem, and the background picture helps to convey the ideas to the receiver. God brings understanding to the spiritual concepts that are included in the word and the vision by applying it to a certain person in my life. Conceptual clarity is improved when a specific context is available to apply an idea to.

The important point to understand is the revealing of the spiritual idea, which is clarified by the specific instance to which it was applied. That being said, God uses a physical world example to introduce these spirit world ideas in what appears to be a greeting card. He is introducing Himself to the recipient of the poem, words, and ideas being presented. These instances are an introduction to God Himself, and a request that the recipient be open to a relationship that God very much wants to have with them.

God started off by showing visions that brought up questions. These visions then emphasized that life was not about focusing on self, but helping others. When the perception of life changed to focus more on helping others, the visions had more meaning as they were applied to the lives of others. The visions came to life in poems and pictures that could then be given to others as a type of greeting card from God.

The message? I love you immensely. Come and have a relationship with me. Come and see the world that I created, through my eyes. It is a beautiful place. Come and live in my Kingdom of Heaven, here on earth. It is amazing, and I made a place for you within its boundaries. Actually, when you see it as I see it, it has no boundaries. Come and enjoy life with me. I made you. I am your creator. I love you. Let me show you the secrets of life. Let me bless you with the never ending outpouring of goodness that flows from my fountain. Come to me. I am waiting for you. Read my card. Open your eyes. Listen to the still small voice. Come and find me and I will show you amazing and wonderful things. I am calling to you. Come and find me. I love you and desire to spend time with you.—God

Do not be afraid to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Your physical body will not die. However, a piece of your physical awareness will die. You may not notice that it is gone, but you might notice the presence of something very wonderful and new in your life. When you receive spiritual eyes and spiritual ears to perceive the spiritual content of life, you will be much less interested in worldly distractions. These worldly distractions are what excite the imprisoned part of who you are, which is overcome by the new spiritual life that you receive. When you see the spiritual world come alive around you, the prison walls will no longer confine you.

You see, the only way that the worldly items become so appealing to us, is for us to be in prison. The world cannot offer us the amazing spiritual options. We keep ourselves in the physical world’s land of scarcity for so long that we begin to think that what the world has to offer is all there is to be had. We begin to make choices from the available options, which is not a full menu.

When we do not perceive the spiritual part of life, we have no spiritual compass. We turn to the law for direction. The law rules over us and imprisons us in a land of scarcity. When we become spiritually aware, the prison effect of the law fades, and all of the possibilities that God created for us come to life. The physical world menu is so much less interesting than the items on the spiritual world menu. If you are not spiritually aware, you are unable to see the spiritual menu.

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Spiritual contents of life accompany us, and God speaks to us every day. Spiritual understanding is available to all who want it. If you do nothing else, say out loud God, I want to live in your Kingdom of Heaven here on earth right now. Show me the way. God is a God of truth. Ask and ye shall receive is a true statement. Go ahead. Ask.

Prologue

I am God. I created the world and everything in it. On the seventh day I rested and declared everything good that I had made. I am a spiritual being. I became flesh and walked on the earth as Jesus. I understand your struggles, since I made you and know everything about you. When I walked upon the earth, I experienced your struggles as a person myself. I understand exactly where you are. No matter who you are, where you live, or what you’ve done, I love you immensely. I want to have a relationship with you. I want you to know who I am. I want you to experience the love I have for you.

I am speaking in new ways through those that are obedient to my direction and understand my paths. This is a new season and will be full of new things that no one has experienced before. The first few cycles will be odd, as any new thing is. Once understood, these cycles will be encouraged and sought after. This is the message that I am sending: I love you. I want to have a relationship with you. I am making myself known. Please, make yourself available to me.

Knowing me requires the development of spiritual eyes and ears so that you may understand the spiritual ingredients around you. All of the spiritual and physical ingredients have a purpose. They can all be used for good, or for evil, it is up to the cook to combine the ingredients. You are the cook.

Here are some basics for those of you that are new to the spiritual world. My son Jesus died so that you could live. Accept the fact that He paid for your sins when He died. Ask Jesus, a spiritual being, to come and live inside of you, a physical being. Ask Him to guide you in your actions. Ask out loud with your physical voice as it will affect the physical and spiritual world around you. I will enter you through this act, and will live within you for the rest of your life. When I enter in, I will give you spiritual eyes to see and spiritual ears to hear. The world will become very interesting to you. You will become aware of the spiritual things that have always been present, but that you have most likely not noticed or given value to before. Read my Bible every day as it is a written example of how the spiritual and material worlds work together. Consistency is more important than volume, as reading a little bit every day stitches the physical and the spiritual experiences together. Finally, learn that I am available and can help you get through life. I didn’t design you to make it through alone, or with a friend, or even with the help of family. I am a necessary ingredient for the awesome life I have planned for you. I am not a necessary ingredient for a mundane and lacking life. I gave you freedom to choose your path, and I will honor that freedom in every action.

The world is a noisy place. My spiritual ingredients speak with a still small voice. Those that know I am here will search for and find me. The reward is great. I love you. I am here. I am honoring my agreement to give you freedom to choose in all things, but I love you and will pursue you daily. Every day I choose to be by your side. Every day I want you to be aware of me. Every day I want to give you the greatest gift you could ever receive. Every day I have the hope that we can be together. It is only by your own free will that you can come. Ask me into your life and I will enter in, and you will see a new world. Ask me in and you will experience life the way I intended for you to experience it when I made you.

The world is noisy and full of distractions. I surround you daily with the spirit world. Come and find me. I am waiting to give you the life experiences that you so desperately want. Just ask, and you will receive.

I speak through all of my creations to the world. Sometimes I speak through people. If they present you with a word, or writing, or a gift, this is my way of reaching out from the spiritual world into the physical world to make you aware of my presence. Many people don’t know who I am, or that a relationship with me is possible. If they desire one, many don’t know how to go about it. Some have a hunch that their life experience could be so much greater, yet they don’t know how to go about changing. I am reaching out to educate, to market, and to make myself readily available to those that may not know me, to those that want more out of life, to those that do not necessarily just want the minimum life has to offer.

Finally, I want you to know this: There is a Heaven on earth experience that you can have. I called it the Kingdom of Heaven, or the Kingdom of God. You don’t have to wait until you get to Heaven to have the experience. Jesus talked about some experiencing the Kingdom of Heaven before they experienced death. He told others that they were very close to experiencing the Kingdom of Heaven when they began to ask probing questions about the meaning of spiritual topics.

Your Kingdom of Heaven experience will happen when you do my will. When you understand who I am and how I work. Children are like their parents. I built in a mirroring effect so that when you begin to understand me, you begin to act like me. In so doing, you begin to become more like me. I built the systems of the world so that I could effectively manage them from my perspective. When you begin to see things from my perspective, which is how you were designed to see them, they all come into alignment. You receive clarity from a certain point of understanding. That is the clarity that ushers in the Kingdom of Heaven experience.

Picture yourself standing in a mature forest at a tree farm. You are looking at the trees in a diagonal fashion and you feel trapped. You are alarmed and afraid and cannot find your way out of the forest. A still small voice says turn your view slowly to the side. You take action and move your view slowly to the side. When you do, clear corridors through the trees appear in front of and behind you, and also to both sides. Multitudes of pathways leading to the light of day just appeared by following the direction of the still small voice. These pathways were always available, yet never seen from a different perspective.

My amazing gifts are abundant in the Kingdom of Heaven. You will love it when you became aware of the Kingdom of Heaven here on earth. That is where you function best and will have your best life experiences. Your physical surroundings will remain unchanged, until, by your actions you decide to change them.

My gifts that you receive from me through the people around you have purpose and meaning. Their initial purpose is to make you aware of me and my gifts that await you. Their meaning is only known by me. How will this purpose unfold into meaningful life experiences? Invite me in and spend time with me and I will reveal their meaning to you. How do you find me? Just ask me in and I will come.

When you accept Jesus, you go to Heaven when your life here on earth is over. Most people in America do not understand the concept of the Kingdom of Heaven. Ask me in and let me show you how it works. I promise you that there is no life experience greater than this.
