SID: The throne’s in heaven.
PATRICIA: … Of course, it’s Jesus’ throne, right? And so how are we supposed to obey that commandment if we don’t have access? Right? And then also there’s scriptures in Hebrews nine and Hebrews 10 about how the blood gives us access into that place. Right? It’s just so awesome. So he stood me up, Bob Jones stood me up in the lunchroom that day after giving a little bit of explanation. He said, “I’m going to pray.” But he said, “Just follow the Holy Spirit. Close your eyes and whatever he shows you just follow.” So he takes my hand and he says, “Okay, Lord, we’re going to ascend up, up, up, up.” Something like that. And I thought, “Oh, this is different.” I was expecting it to be like it was back in 1994.
SID: Why?
PATRICIA: And he says, “What are you seeing?” And I thought, “I’m not seeing anything. Just my eyelids. Right. I’m not seeing anything.” But what I did experience was kind of a flickering, it was like a flickering of light just in my eyelids. But I thought in my mind, that’s just the window bank, the bank of windows at the side of the room and maybe the lights flashing forth. But then Bob Jones said, “So you’re seeing the flickering flame, are you?”
And I thought, “Oh my gosh, it is kind of like a flame.” And, and I got to thinking about that, I thought, “Well man, he’s seeing inside of my eyes, this is weird. This is strange.” And then as I was focusing on that, trying to grasp a hold of it, I saw myself in my mind’s eye become a flame. And he says, “Ah, so you’ve become the flame now.” And I thought, “Oh my gosh, this is a bit freaky. He’s seeing inside–”
SID: He knows everything.
PATRICIA: So he says, “Now you’re going [de]scend.” I thought, “Descend, I haven’t even ascended yet. This is nothing like what I first experienced.” That’s what I’m thinking in my mind. He says, “What I want you to do is ask the Holy Spirit to show you what you’re going to bring down out of this heavenly encounter.” And I thought, “Well, whatever, I don’t even think I’m in a heavenly encounter.” But all of a sudden I get in my mind’s eye a very vivid picture of snow capped mountains with evergreen trees and eagles flying. And he said, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see snow capped mountains and eagles.” And he says, “Yep. I had that vision back in 1984 it’s the emergence of the prophets in the Pacific Northwest.”
And I thought, “Well, that’s cool that you have this vision, but I didn’t think much of it.” We finished the encounter and I thought … I definitely didn’t think I’d been to heaven until six months later Stacey Campbell, I know, she’s a prophetess, and she actually had a similar encounter the next day without knowing what I had encountered. But she asked me if I could help her set up a Canadian council of prophets that Peter Wagner had assigned her to do.
And Canada, to that point, had never had a council of prophets, never. They never had, and in fact, the prophets weren’t even really identified–
SID: That’s the Pacific Northwest.
PATRICIA: Exactly. We were in Kelowna, British Columbia, which was the Pacific Northwest. So I go to the airport that day to pick up the prophets and it’s snowing and in Kelowna it’s a Valley. There’s mountains all around it. And there’s snow capped mountains. And I was going to pick up the prophets and in the Bible, the eagles are the symbol of the prophets. And the Lord spoke to me and he said, “Snow capped mountains and eagles. This day, is it fulfilled what you downloaded out of heaven that day?” And until that moment, I didn’t think I downloaded anything out of heaven. But it has been very significant because to this day, and this is many years later, this council is growing in Canada and Canada has never, since that day, been without a prophetic council. And the Lord said it was downloaded out of heaven.
