Love begins to flow
If you start by developing your internal relationship with God—recognising that He dwells in you and allowing that relationship to expand within—you’ll ultimately discover the union of Father, Son and Spirit with your own spirit, soul and body at the core of your being. This forms the foundation for all other experiences. It’s the source of abundant life. You’re no longer just sipping from the well—it becomes a river that flows from within you. As that inner relationship grows, love begins to flow from you. The more you experience God’s unconditional love, the more you become unconditionally loving. What you’ve received begins to pour out of you.
My personal journey started with an unexpected experience. In 2008, I was simply sitting at my desk when I had a sudden encounter—I was drawn into heaven through what felt like a portal. It was overwhelming and surreal. The first thing I encountered wasn’t scenery or angels—it was love. A level of love I’d never experienced before. My whole being—spirit, soul and body—was immersed in it. I was completely saturated, and that moment transformed me. I knew there was something more than I had ever known, and I couldn’t ignore it. For the next two years, I kept seeking it, longing for that connection again. It ruined me—in the best way.
Eventually, in 2010, that experience became a lifestyle. My daily life began to open up to spiritual realities. I engaged with God, with heaven, with the garden, the River of Life, the Tree of Life—all these beautiful things. But the most important revelation was this: I was His dwelling place. And as I dwelt with Him, and He with me, I began to understand myself.
He showed me how my soul worked, how I had formed my identity around what I knew and did. Eventually, I surrendered. I stopped striving to know and control. I just trusted Him. And that trust opened the door to a deeper journey—one of daily, ongoing transformation.
Love began to expand
That intimate love began to expand within me. I experienced healing, not through ministry from others, but directly from Him. Inner healing became personal and profound. It was no longer something done to me—it was something He and I walked through together.
Over time, He led me into a union that felt like a marriage—something I never expected or imagined. And it all began from within. That’s the invitation: engage with what you already carry. Let it grow. Because it will not stay contained. It will flow into your relationships, into your life, and others will see the reflection of your relationship with God.
You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. It’s God’s job to reveal Himself. Our part is simply to love. Jesus said the world would recognise us by our love for one another. He didn’t say we’d be known by power or knowledge or supernatural gifts—but by love. And to love like Jesus, we first have to let Him love us. That means letting go of conditions and assumptions we’ve picked up—mindsets that need renewing. Many of us are deconstructing, but God may still want to go deeper within us.
Seated with Christ
Yes, there are external experiences—heavenly encounters, visions, spiritual senses being awakened—and I’ve walked in those. I can activate my spiritual eyes and see what’s going on in the spirit, but I rarely do that now. Not because I can’t, but because I don’t need to. I know where I dwell. I know where my spirit is—seated with Christ in heavenly places. You may not have caught up with that reality cognitively, but it’s true all the same.
Most people aren’t taught this, so they never fully grasp the reality of the spiritual realm or their identity in it. But Jesus ascended into that realm, and we ascended with Him. We’re seated there—not just in Him but with Him. We have a position of identity and authority as sons.
Part of my journey was discovering that, at the centre of my being, God has placed spiritual “gates”—like energy centres, if you will—connected to the River of Life that flows within us. They bring vitality, health and wholeness. This internal structure connects us to heavenly places, and it all flows from the relationship we nurture within.
Grounded in love
So, start there. Cultivate intimacy. Let His unconditional love dwell in you and grow in you. From that place, everything else will open up. Every journey is unique—God doesn’t deal with us like clones. But His work is always grounded in love. He always seeks our best. Even when we make mistakes, He brings good from them, because He is merciful and kind.
His mercy triumphs over all. His grace is without limit. His love is totally unconditional. And when we rest in that love, it opens us up to so much more within relationship.
