Amazon reader review: A controversial book that explores the  prophetic doctrine, as taught by Rick Joyner, Bob Jones, and Steve Thompson. Their teaching is based on the concept of "levels of revelation". These levels include impressions, Visions, Open Visions, Dreams, Trances, Other Prophetic Experiences, the Lord's Audible Voice and Angelic Visitations. "Open Visions" for those who are not up to speed on such things, are when you continue to see the vision, like a movie, even as you go about everyday tasks such as driving. Steve Thompson teaches on these levels in his book "You May All Prophesy". He includes in his lists of ways to receive the following: Impressions, Spiritual sight, Spiritual hearing, Spiritual smell, Spiritual touch, Spiritual taste, Dreams, Glimpses in the Spirit, Gentle Internal Visions, Strong Internal Visions, and Open Visions. Dreams may include Literal Dreams, Symbolic Dreams and Dreams of Angels or the Lord, which are not visitations but are high-level revelations. The highest levels of revelation, according to Thompson and others, are "Trances" and "Caught up in the Spirit". You may be more familiar with the term "Spirit Travel", "Astral Projection" or "Out of Body Experiences". According to this teaching, being caught up in the Spirit is similar to a trance but the individual is actually transported somewhere.

 

Controversial? Yes, but worth reading if you'd like to understand more about the prophetic ministry from those who purport to operate in it.
