when heaven comes down?

This gold cloud appeared at Bethel Church Redding, CA over the weekend. I used to be kind of freaked out about stuff like this but the more I hear of or experience the supernatural in my life, the more I have grown to expect it. You have to ignore much of the Bible to discount the supernatural. The church has, for lack of experience I imagine, decided that signs and wonders are the exception and not the rule.

I think they are supposed to be the rule.

Signs and wonders point to the maker of the sign. A sign always points to the “thing.” Signs like gold dust, clouds, fire, joy, healing, peace, love, forgiveness, are all good things that come down from the giver of life.

The thing is not as important as the thing the thing points to – an extravagant God hopelessly in love with us.
