    About this ebook

    After beseeching God for a long time, Carol was given many visions of Heaven and what waits for the believer on the other side. Is there only joy and no pain, just like the Bible says? Will we know our loved ones when we get there? Will they know us? What about the babies who have died? What do they do all day? What does Heaven look like? God showed her more than she could have imagined.

      Heavenly Visions - Carol J. Carver

      A Sense Of Humor

      God is a creator. Do you realize that one of the many things He created was laughter and that He has a sense of humor? God Himself laughs! Trust me, he does. (Psalm 37:13) I’ll share a personal story with you. I think that this story will illustrate a lot about me and God.

      My dad loved the Lord and talked to Him every day. Only having one hand, he depended on God for everything to make him independent. He worked a full time job, raised eight children, painted, trained show horses, washed dishes before we had a dishwasher, swept floors, did carpentry work (with some help), had a first class Engineer’s License, and still found time to minister to everyone he could that would listen. He had a lot of spiritual gifts, like discernment, knowledge, wisdom and those gifts enabled him to love people and witness to them, as well as have dreams and visions.

      My dad and I talked a lot. One day he was very serious in wanting to tell me something important. Carol, he said, the day will come when I won’t be here to tell you things from God. You will receive my mantle. Use it wisely. He didn’t tell me what that meant. I was young and didn’t know very much about the Bible at that time. I knew mostly about salvation and The Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments—but not much else.

      We had a living room with a fireplace. Above it was a wooden mantle. I wondered why dad would want me to have that wooden mantle. How would I disconnect it? And it wouldn’t look right being gone with all the marble around it. What in the world would I replace it with? I didn’t ask dad about it because sometimes when I asked him things he would tell me to pray and that God would reveal it to me.

      Years passed, and I still thought the mantle that I was to receive was on that living room fireplace. I’d look at it and wonder why it was so special. My dad had died and I was married with children. We were living in that home along with my mother. One of my sons could do carpentry work. I asked him how I’d ever get that mantle off of the wall. He said, You don’t want to take it off. It would ruin the looks of it. He didn’t understand that my dad wanted me to have it (or so I believed at the time), but I wouldn’t tell him. God must have had a good chuckle about this misunderstanding.

      I felt the call of God into ministry. I read the Bible for myself and I read it all the time. I finally read about Elijah and Elisha. Elisha wanted Elijah’s mantle when he went to heaven. Oh my goodness! That is what my dad had tried to tell me! Not knowing, I didn’t understand because I was ignorant of God’s Word. Thank God I was learning.

      Now you know why I think God has a sense of humor. It was the anointing and calling of God on his life, being transferred to my life, that dad tried to tell me about. When I tell people about it today, I can laugh with God because I believe it’s funny. I can imagine God telling my dad about what a time He had getting me to understand about the mantle And I’m pretty sure that they both had a good chuckle about how long it took me to get that concept.

      I imagine hearing my dad say, Finally! If God is telling you something you don’t understand, don’t quit. Keep going and keep praying and reading God’s Bible, and you will understand, too.

      Ministry

      I knew I had a ministry for God to do. I wasn’t sure I would want to do it because He had me do some hard things before. Ministering to people isn’t always easy.

      During this time I went to several churches, always sitting in the last pew so I wouldn’t be noticed. Many times the pastor of the church would pick me out of the crowd and tell me God was going to send me to the hurting, the suffering and the abused. I would always ask, Where? and each one would say that God will tell you. Everything that you are learning you will be able to share. You are in training.

      In fulfilling that call, God had me to visit people in jails and prisons. I was faithful to that calling for twenty-five years before God released me from it. I told them about Jesus Christ. I didn’t visit them as a judge but as a child of God. I told them that their past wasn’t the important thing, but where they would spend their future for eternity was what was
