Spirit Travel

Last month, Pastor Shelley

preached a series of messages on the subject,"Spirit Travel." Because of his

own experiences with traveling in the

spiritual realm and those of other prophetic

leaders, he felt that it was important to lay the Scriptural

foundations for itso that the Bride will be more prepared to

experience it.

Spirit travel can result in

being physically transported or spiritually

transported. There are many instances of thisin the

Scriptures as well as in our modern times.

In this update, I have

presented the "Old Testament" Biblical

references that Pastor Shelley preached about as well as some quotes from the sermons.

In a few days, I plan to send

an update with the "New Testament" references and

some modern experiences.

I believe that thesemessages will soon be available

for download on Pastor Shelley's website, www.revival.org.

Enoch-

Translated

(Gen 5:22) And Enoch walked with

God after he begot Methuselah three hundred years, and

begot sons and daughters:

(Gen 5:24) And

Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took

him.

(Heb 11:5) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death;

and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his

translation he had this testimony, (that he was

not) that he pleased God.

Enoch entered into a

place of fellowship, communion and unity with God until

there was nothing left of his will, himself. Somehow

Enoch emptied himself and positioned himself so he could see the

disestablishment of law.

He emptied himself of his desires and became

love. He so emptied himself that God was able to fill

him with love, such that he was transformed. There had

to be some kind of change for Enoch to go into that other

realm.

Moses - Saw the

Tabernacle in Heaven

(Exo 25:9) According to all that I show thee, after the

pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments

thereof, even so shall ye make it.

(Act

7:44) Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness,

as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it

according to the fashion that he had

seen.

He saw it. Moses traveled by

the Spirit. Moses was caught up in the Spirit into

the Throne Room. He saw the pattern of things in the

heavens. Supernaturally he was able to remember it and

describe it down to the last detail according to the pattern which

he had seen.

He was caught up into another

dimension. He was commissioned to release it on the

earth. And because that revelation was released, the craftsmen

could build it.

Moses - Sees the

Past As God's Glory Passes By

(Exo 33:22) And it shall

come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a

cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand (power) while I

pass by:

(Exo 33:23) And I will

take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back

parts: but my face shall not be seen.

I believe that when he had the experience on

the mountain, he was able to look back all the way to the Creation and

see it as it played out, and also all the way to the

future.

Even Enoch

saw a day beyond our day. He said, "I saw the Lord

come with ten thousands of His saints."

In the realm of the spirit, there is no

chronos time. It is only eternity. Moses was caught up

in the realm of the spirit. I believe there is a realm

where we can get caught up like Moses

was.

Elijah - Ran

Faster than Ahab's Chariot

(1Ki

18:38) Then the fire of the LORD

fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the

stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the

trench.

(1Ki 18:46) And

the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his

loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of

Jezreel.

I was surprised to find

out that most liberal theologians think that was supernatural.

There's only one thing that I can think of that would enable a

natural man to run faster than a chariot pulled by horses and that

is by the power of the Spirit of God.

Elijah -

Reputation for Appearing and Disappearing

(1Ki 18:12) And it shall

come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the

Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and

so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay

me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.

This is the reputation that Elijah has – that

he appears and disappears, he's carried here and he's carried

there. He had a reputation of traveling in the

spirit, of stepping into that other realm, of being carried

by the Spirit.

Elijah - Carried

to Heaven in a Chariot of Fire by a

Whirlwind

(2Ki 2:11) And it came to pass, as they still went on,

and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and

horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah

went up by a whirlwind into

heaven.

Ezekiel - Carried

by the Spirit to the River of Chebar

(Eze 3:12) Then

the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a

great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his

place.

(Eze 3:13) I heard also

the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one

another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise

of a great rushing.

(Eze 3:14) So the

spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in

bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the

LORD was strong upon me.

(Eze 3:15) Then I came to

them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river of

Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished

among them seven days.

Ezekiel - Lifted

Up by the Spirit to Jerusalem

(Eze 8:1) And it came to pass in the

sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I

sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon

me.

(Eze 8:2) Then I beheld,

and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of

his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as

the appearance of brightness, as the color of

amber.

(Eze 8:3) And he put

forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of mine

head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the

heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the

door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the

seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to

jealousy.

(Eze 8:4) And, behold,

the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision

that I saw in the plain.

He was physically picked up by this

Being of Fire. In Hebrew it means he was

shaken from the head. Do it, Lord!

He was in Babylon. This is 592 BC – six years

after the Jews have been taken to Babylon from Jerusalem. The Hand brings him in the visions of God to Jerusalem. This

is spiritual travel.

This

is an amazing thing. The Jews are longing to know what is

going on in Jerusalem. He was carried into a realm, a

dimension, to Jerusalem. He was able to know what was

going on in Jerusalem and it matched what he had already been shown

in the plain. This confirmed what he had been

shown.

Ezekiel - Brought to the Temple To Prophesy

Restoration Over Jerusalem

(Eze 11:1) Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the

east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at

the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah

the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the

people.

(Eze 11:24) Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision

by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the

captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from

me.

(Eze 11:25) Then I spoke

unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had showed

me.

Ezekiel was back and forth to

Jerusalem in the spirit. He could have gotten many

frequent flier miles.

This is what is so

powerful – God let him decree a powerful Word over Jerusalem

and then carried him back. God takes him from Babylon in the spirit to Jerusalem, he sees

the sickened condition, prophesies a Word of restoration over

Jerusalem and all of heaven heard. That's the power of

prophetic release!

Ezekiel - Carried

in the Spirit to the Valley of Dry Bones

(Eze 37:1) The hand of the LORD was

upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me

down in the midst of the valley which was full of

bones,

The whole book of Ezekiel

is that "He picked me up and brought me there," etc.

Ezekiel -

Transported to a Temple in Jerusalem that Did Not Yet

Exist

(Eze

43:1) Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the

gate that looketh toward the east:

(Eze 43:2) And, behold,

the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and

his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with

his glory.

(Eze 43:3) And it was according to the appearance of

the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when

I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision

that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my

face.

(Eze 43:4) And the glory

of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose

prospect is toward the east.

(Eze 43:5) So the

spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court;

and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the

house.

Here he was taken to a Temple which did not

yet exist. He was physically transported in the spirit

to a place that had not yet come to be. He was

carried to a future time in the spirit.

Not Just For the

Prophets and Disciples

I do not believe it was just for the

disciples or those in the Old and New Testaments. All

of creation groaneth. Why would creation be groaning if the

laws of the spirit were not to supercede the laws of

nature?

If you get carried away, there will be a change.

You will be different.

I feel like there

is going to be a sudden release at some point. That

release that I'm seeing is a real anointing over our eyes, an eye

salve so we are able to see. I believe there is going to come anointed vision where we can really

see.

I see there will be more

dreams released, but some of you are going to come out of dream

cycles into visionsand supernatural experiences

withGod.
