Episode 11 The Vision by Rick Joyner
For a long time, we continued killing the vultures and picking off the demons that were riding the Christians. We found that the arrows of different Truths would have greater impact on different demons. We knew that it was going to be a long battle, but we were not suffering any more casualties now, and we had continued to climb past the level of "Patience."
It was troubling that after these Christians had the demons shot off of them, few would come to the mountain.
Many had taken on the nature of the demons, and continued in their delusion without them. As the darkness of the demons dissipated, we could see the ground moving around the feet of these Christians. Then I saw that their legs were bound by serpents. As I kept looking at the serpents, I saw that they were all the same kind, and had the name "Shame" written on them.
We shot arrows of Truth at the serpents, but the arrows had little effect. We then tried the arrows of Hope, but without results. From "Galatians Two Twenty" it had been very easy to go higher, because we all helped each other. Since there now seemed to be little that we could do against the enemy, we decided to just try to climb as far as we could until we found something that would work against the serpents.
We passed levels of truth very fast. On most of them we did not even bother to look around if there was no weapon in sight that might work on the serpents. Faith, Hope and Love stayed right with us, but I had not noticed that we had left Wisdom far behind. It would be a long time before I understood what a mistake this was. He would catch up to us on the top, but leaving him behind cost us a much quicker and easier victory over the evil horde.
Almost without warning, we came to a level that opened up into a garden. It was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. Over the entrance to this garden was written,
"The Father's Unconditional Love." This entrance was so glorious and inviting that we could not resist entering.
