Christian Meditation on Serving at Heaven’s Banquet

This video shares a Firstfruits prayer meeting focused on testimonies, guided Christian meditation, prophetic encouragement, and serving in God’s kingdom. It is for believers who want to seek God in prayer, stay fixed on Jesus, and learn how heavenly joy leads to humble service.

• The group shares testimonies about God bringing encouragement, provision, ministry support, and renewed confidence.

• The guided meditation focuses on breath, gratitude, the names of God, and entering prayerfully into the presence of God.

• Several participants describe images of heaven, joy, victory, mercy, hope, and spiritual endurance.

• Chris reflects on servant leadership, using George Washington’s willingness to step down as a picture of making room for others.

• The meeting closes with a prayer that believers would carry the “dew of heaven” into the world through faith, hope, and love.

This heart beats out your glory. Hallelujah.

Gold fingertips dripping. I cry out at your feet.

All of you is singing out in me. All of you is singing out in all of me.

My Lord.

I mean, how can you not start a prayer meeting with your darling wife praising God so ferociously? Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. Praise your name, God. Praise you. That was Hannah. I did not know that either. That was great.

It is yours truly on the majority of the instruments. Our dear sister in Christ, Tori, provides some piano work for us. The bells at the end are Tori, and she also does some background vocals. My wife and I have collaborated in writing these praise and worship songs. I produce the songs in general, and she writes the lyrics and melodies. We are just cranking along one at a time, with four children, which is not always the easiest.

But you say yes to the Lord, and you keep moving.

Good morning, everyone, and happy Firstfruits to all of you. Praise God.

Today, our agenda, as always, is to share some testimonies from the prior week’s prophetic declarations. I think we only have one new person on the call, Vess, so we will give her an overview. Then we will go through a guided meditation, make some prophetic declarations, share announcements, and close from there. Sound good? Praise God. Hallelujah.

Here were last week’s declarations.

Father Chris said we are receiving permanent access to heaven’s room of requirement, where everything needed is stored, and Jesus is canceling assignments against us.

Dan, you shared that we are to be men and women of excellence and seek the manifestation of Jesus’s glory.

Capiletti, the Lord is coming. Do not fear. He is closer than you think. He has rooms for all of us.

For me, there is victory found in the love of God. I felt like Billy Corgan and the cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia would receive Christ’s love this week and come to the kingdom of God. I do not really read the news, so I have no idea whether or not that came true, but that was what I was feeling.

Mary said the victory is secure in the Lord’s love.

Passing it over to Dan and Capiletti for testimonies.

For me, the testimony came in a very weird way. It was encouragement, and God was also showing me where he is taking me.

I also run a nonprofit here in New Haven. It is supported by all six major churches, even though that sounds big. It is still very thinly resourced. This Sunday, I ended up at another church after my main church service. I had no idea why I was going there.

I finally found out because the program I run is for kids, so they can come to Christ and know about Christ. They are not always interested, so it is almost impossible to tell whether any fruit is being produced.

God had given me another girl. She is in ninth grade. Both of her parents have passed away, and life is very tough for her. She ended up in that service for the first time with her friend.

I realized God just brought forward fruit, the manifestation of the good I was seeking. God gave me the vision that I am not just going there and laboring in a field where people are not learning anything I am trying to teach them. That is not what is going on. God actually wants to transform that entire community and bring them to his feet. That is why he has called me into that place.

Out of nowhere, people came up and said, “I am going to support you. If you need any help with your ministry, please let me know. I am going to come and help.”

That kind of help and glory can only come from Jesus. I felt so happy. Sunday was one of the happiest days. I said, “God, thank you.”

Another thing came from Mark Kohler. I have previously been snubbed by many prophets. I would ask, “Can you train me or disciple me?” God would put me in touch with them, but then remove me from their circles. I would say, “God, I do not know what I am doing wrong.”

Two weeks back, there was one prophet from the Vineyard system. He had prophesied over me a long time ago. It was a good start, but after that, things had gone down. He came in two or three weeks back and could not give a single strong prophetic word for me. I thought, “Is this what God is saying? This cannot be it.”

Then the glory manifested in another way. When I heard Mark was someone who had raised the dead, I thought, “This is another level of anointing.” I have seen many different types of anointing. Healing, yes. Deliverance, yes. But to raise the dead is another level.

God not only put me in that ministry, but Mark is one of the people who prays deliverance over me now, and I have his personal contact. I said, “Jesus, I will no longer doubt what you are trying to do with my life. What you are doing is above and beyond what I could have imagined.”

The manifestation of his glory came in a different form, but it did come. Thank you, Jesus.

Praise God. As you were speaking, I felt like that was the conclusion you were leading to. We have another friend who prayed novena after novena about a relationship and whether it would work long term. Nothing was answered, and that was the answer. It was like God was saying, “Maybe this marriage is not supposed to last.” If the husband is not willing to repent, then it is time to move on.

In the same way, you are praying, “God, send me someone,” and meanwhile, you are already being loved by the As It Is In Heaven community. You are able to move forward in that way. That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

It was interesting. I gave that image about Cupid on top of the castle, sending love arrows to people. The love of God was hitting people so much that demons could not be around it, so they had to leave.

That shifted the way I was thinking about deliverance ministry. Last Monday, before we had seven sessions that night, even in the way we were doing deliverance, I had a renewal of the mind about what we are doing. We are not hurting, killing, or destroying demons. Those are Satan’s motivations. We are loving people. Out of the love of God for people, those squatters do not want to be around the love of God, so they leave.

Thank you, Jesus, for helping me renew my mind on that. That is one testimony.

The other testimony is that last week, Father Chris gave the word that we have permanent access to heaven’s room of requirement, where everything we need is stored, and Jesus is canceling assignments sent against us.

Last week, we had one person sign an offer letter for one of our clients. Another received a verbal offer. Another person is interviewing, and the initial feedback is that they did incredibly well. Another client is in negotiation for a new search, which is bringing additional revenue into Spear Consulting. It was an amazing week.

I still want to see the canceling. I have to walk in faith and believe that Jesus is canceling the assignments sent against us. We are still trying to figure out one last component of this agreement with this client, but I receive it in Jesus’s name that the assignment is canceled, and I walk in faith that way.

I will pass it over to you, Capiletti.

That is such good stuff.

Last week was great, and I really resonated with what Father Chris said about canceling assignments against us. Leading into last Monday, I was in a transitional period. I know I am being called into building a different business. It is happening. I am building it. I am trying to surrender and walk without concern into the direction God is calling me.

His timing is always perfect. I felt like I was in a hesitation space. I was at the door, but not really walking entirely through.

Then this past week, things started happening. My one business that sustains me financially has just exploded. I am swamped with it. The pipeline is full, which is good, because that business pays my bills and will also fuel the movement of going forward with this other business.

Yesterday, I was inspired to create and publish my first journal to coincide with my coaching business. I had a meeting with one of my friends, and she said, “This is exactly why your journal is going to be different.” She outlined everything because I am already coaching from it.

Now I think I can get this journal published on Amazon and start sharing it in the next couple of weeks. That was a massive action step out of the blue. I created it yesterday, and it was all because God is canceling assignments against me.

In God’s perfect timing, things happen. I did not wake up yesterday morning thinking I was going to create this journal to get published. That was huge. My other business that funds me keeps growing.

I do not know where God is ultimately taking me. I have ideas, but I am on the move, and he keeps saying, “Grab my hand. Let’s go.” I am holding on.

Personally, with what I am going through, the deeper my obedience is and the deeper I fix my eyes completely on Christ, the more I get rid of the things that want to hold me back.

The more I consciously examine my day and get rid of what no longer serves, the more I continuously prune and keep my eyes fixed within the obedience of my faith and my walk with Christ. It is mind-blowing how much he loves us enough to build us up in his kingdom, put on the mind of Christ, and forge forward, all for the glory of God.

He knows better than I do what I need. When I walk into it, I love the results because I cannot make this stuff up. I am not making it up. I just want more of him and less of me. Period.

The more I discipline myself into that framework, the more he blows my mind.

Praise God forevermore. Chris, I have more to speak into that, but it is 9:20, and we need to make time for the meditation. We can maybe coordinate a separate meeting to talk more about what you shared. I feel like there are a couple of things the Holy Spirit is prompting me on, but if we go down that road, we will probably have less time for ascending into heaven, seeing what God is doing in our lives this week, and making the prophetic declaration.

Vess, I know you are off camera and on mute, but if you want to understand what we do here, I encourage you to scan this QR code. It will take you to a video where I dive deeper into ascending into heaven, or what is called contemplative prayer in Catholic circles.

I think this is contemplative prayer plus, because the transition of actually ascending into heaven is a little different from contemplating Scripture and putting yourself in Scripture. In our spirits, per Scripture, we are seated in heavenly places next to God the Father and at the right hand of Jesus Christ. That is what we are going to do today.

If you scan that code, I have an hour-plus teaching on this. I encourage anyone who has not watched that video to watch it so you can understand what we are doing today.

All right. Praise God. Hallelujah.

Today we do not really have Scripture or anything else. We are just going to put on some meditative music and pray.

Let me know if that is too quiet while I give a couple directive words of prayer. You want it a little bit louder, Dan? Right there. Good.

We enter in, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord, may we always remember that our access into the throne room of heaven is through your precious blood that you spilled on the cross.

Thank you, Father God. Praise your name, God. We love you, Jesus. Thank you, Father God. Thank you, Lord. Thank you. Praise your name, Lord Jesus Christ.

Thank you for all the blessings that you poured out and the testimonies Dan, Chris, and I were able to share about the declarations we made last week. Thank you for being a good Father who sees the work through.

Thank you, Lord Jesus Christ. Praise your name, God. Praise your name, Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you, God. We love you, Jesus.

As we begin the meditation, I encourage you to get in a comfortable place and be intentional about being aware of your breath, the breath of God entering your lungs.

In Scripture, it says that God breathed into dirt and Adam came to life. We know that every breath is a precious gift from God. If we slow ourselves down and focus on gratitude for the opportunity to receive the breath of God, then we can slowly transition into meditation.

As we breathe, we want to slow down our breathing. We will inhale for four seconds. One, two, three, four.

Hold your breath for two.

Then exhale for six. One, two, three, four, five, six.

As we breathe this way, you may want to focus on a specific name of God in Scripture. Jesus Christ. Abba. You can breathe “Ab” on the inhale and “ba” on the exhale. Yahweh, with “Yah” on the inhale and “weh” on the exhale. Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our healer, with “Jehovah” as the in-breath and “Rapha” as the exhale.

Use whatever you feel the Holy Spirit encouraging you to meditate on.

We will continue with the breath work. Breathe in for four. One, two, three, four.

Hold for two.

Exhale for six. Two, three, four, five, six.

Chris was talking about getting rid of the squatters, the demonic spirits that try to derail our focus and gaze upon the lover of our souls. What a beautiful way to stay focused and be grateful for every breath we take.

It is through gratitude that we enter through the gates of heaven, and as we praise God for everything he has done in our lives and for who he is, we enter into his courts.

Continue to breathe slowly and focus. As I have shared countless times before, as you begin to get images and enter into different rooms in heaven, I encourage you, if you have explored one room, to ask Dad to take you up into a different room.

As we transition out of it, I encourage you to rub your face if that helps you come out of the meditation slowly. Some people encourage wiggling your fingers or toes.

Thank you, Lord. Let us take a second to recollect our thoughts. That might be helpful too.

All right, I am back. Does anyone want to kick us off? Dan, do you have the notes?

I am going to take the notes.

Okay. Praise God. Hallelujah. Capiletti, do you want to go first?

Yes. That was a fun one. Last week, I felt hesitation. Then the fruits we got out of last week were almost about the hesitation to go grab Jesus’s hand. Today, it was like he pulled me into a party. I was in a party, and he was grabbing my hand, dancing, and twirling around. It was great.

As I ascended, he reminded me that not everybody will go with me. It reminded me of the Scripture in Ecclesiastes, that there is a reason and a season for everything.

When he calls you to a new chapter and a new place where he is taking you, you keep your eyes fixed exactly on him. You keep your total trust and surrender. You let go in pure love when you feel like you are moving in the direction he is leading you. Some people just are not going to come with you.

It does not mean anything other than that you are moving in love. There is nothing wrong with your transition away from some relationships or some people. They are simply not going to go with you.

When I saw that, I was standing on a mountainside with my arms wide open, looking over everything and feeling total victory. I kept my eyes focused, and I ran the race.

The Scripture that came up for me was Hebrews 12:1-3. It talks deeply about the perfect example of Christ, who kept his focus on the plan and the perseverance of running the race, surrounded by other people who are also doing the same thing.

There was so much hope. It was a giddy hope and laughter where nothing else mattered. You could feel the purity of that peace and joy. No fear. No squatters of any kind. It was just pure joy and the victory of being united exactly where you are supposed to be, in the alignment where Christ wants me and wants all of us.

Faithful endurance is not always easy. But when you keep your eyes fixed and do the work, it is always worth it. I just felt the victory.

I want to affirm that. I will go next because I think we were in the same party.

As soon as I got into heaven, I saw confetti blazing all over the place. Then I asked God, “Why is there a party?” I felt like he said, “Ask ChatGPT about the importance of today.”

So I did. As I was reading through different things, the Holy Spirit was pinching my heart over different components that were coming up.

Apparently, in 600 AD, Pope Gregory the Great decreed the singing of Alleluia for the Gospel, which shaped Western liturgy. Thank you, Pope Gregory the Great, for helping us sing Alleluia before we present the Gospel, in honor of Jesus’s resurrection.

The fruit of the resurrection in the glorious mysteries of the rosary is faith. We thank you, God, that as we come into what Chris was saying, when we focus on the fact that God is in control and he is higher than every created thing in this world, it raises our faith. Thank you for that, God.

The next thing I wanted to focus on is that today is President’s Day, but it originally celebrated George Washington’s birthday. I did not know that. I do not get too invested in various holidays.

I remember Chris Vallotton giving a talk about George Washington and how he had supernatural leadership in the Continental Army over Britain. Many of the British did not believe George Washington could be killed because of the countless ways God supernaturally saved him in crazy battles. People feared him mightily because he was this mighty warrior for God in that way.

George Washington was America’s first president. If I am going to parse down what I was seeing into one phrase, it is this: George Washington voluntarily stepped down after two terms, which shaped democracy globally.

God does not want kings. He wants judges. George Washington modeled this. He was a man of faith. It was not about pride and ego. He was a servant leader, just like Jesus modeled what leadership is supposed to look like. You serve the people, and when your time is called to stop serving, you step down and create space for other people to come up and lead.

I feel like God was speaking to me about As It Is In Heaven. As we grow, people like you, Chris, and Dan will help lead. As more and more souls flood into Firstfruits, especially now that we are turning the Google Ad Grant back on, the meetings are going to grow. When they do, the form will have to shift.

I am grateful for these intimate times. Dan, you were the first guy who kept sticking around. I am thankful for that. Chris, you have been right there too, and I am grateful for your participation.

As the ministry continues to grow and expand, I have to step out of the way and let leaders like you shine to help lead these meetings.

That is what I felt like God was singing over me. There is a party in heaven, and as he lifts our leadership, we have the opportunity to step out of the way and keep elevating others. As you elevate others, you elevate in the kingdom of God.

That is what I felt like the prophetic word was for today.

For me, the word was hope. Hope will come to pass. Hope is usually in the future, and it may look like things are going to happen in the future, but what I got was that hope will come to pass.

The other part was from Psalm 91. It was a very interesting image. Imagine I am standing in a field, and there are dinosaurs running next to me, but I am guarded. There is a flow of things happening around me, but I just remain like the rock. I will be untouched. That is what I felt.

Did you feel like the dinosaurs represented evil spirits, and that God had pulled you above that? Like you are not even focused on them. You are not taking your gaze off the lover of your soul, Jesus Christ. Instead, you rise above those spirits because when you ascend into heaven, there is no way for them to enter there.

You have a direct pipeline into the throne room of God, and you do not have to worry about these squatters. Demons are real, but they have no control over us because Jesus gave us authority over them at the cross.

Amen. Very close to that. The only tweak I would add is: be like the rock. A rock cannot be moved. Even if the dinosaurs come, they are not stronger than the rock. If they strike the rock, they will fall. The rock will not be kicked out. The rock is standing there.

Be like the rock. Let them do whatever they want. Do not get distracted, so you can keep moving.

I saw myself launched into ministry, wearing battle armor and walking forward. Even when the dinosaurs came, I became like a rock. They went away, and I started walking forward again. I thought, “This is interesting.”

Do you know who was the first rock in the Bible, Dan? Peter, the first pope of the Catholic faith.

Thank you, Jesus. Praise God forevermore.

Dan, you put in the notes on the prophetic words. Give me a second. I am going to copy this over.

Before we transition, Vess, I know you have been off camera and muted, but I wanted to ask if you had time to pray. If you did, were there any prophetic words or declarations you wanted to release?

It is cutting out a little bit, Dan. Your face shows that it is cutting out for you too.

I do not know if you can hear me. I am not great with technology. It would normally be hard for me to join because I usually take Larry to physical therapy during the meeting time, but today the schedule was at a different time. I felt led to join.

This is so beautiful. It is really touching my heart. I did have images when you talked about going into a room.

Can you hear me?

Yes, we can hear you.

The first room I saw was full of animals, because I love animals. God put that on my heart since I was a little girl. I saw all the pets I had and the stray animals that came in and out of my life.

Then animals I felt bad about, even bugs I had squashed or something, were there in that room. Light was coming through the windows. Fish I had were jumping up out of the water.

Then the walls opened up, and it was a big field. I saw my relatives. I saw my grandparents. My grandma and grandpa were like a second mom and dad to me, and they were hugging me. I saw other people in my life too.

Then the wall between the animals and the field with the humans became one. There was Mary, Mama Mary, Jesus, Saint John Paul II, Saint Thérèse, and the apostles. I was hugging everybody. It felt like so much love.

I felt led to give God glory too, because hearing all the beautiful words you were saying earlier was helping build up my faith. I was praying for mercy for everyone, Lord, that everybody can experience this. Even those who do not believe right now, may they turn because they do not know what they are missing.

There was so much joy up there. It was like all the walls went down and everything was united. All the animals, even animals I did not know, people, saints, Mary, Jesus, and everyone were there. It was overwhelming. It was so beautiful.

Thank you so much. I do not know how many times I can join because I have to drive out of town on Mondays to take Larry to physical therapy. But when it lines up, I would love to come on, even just to hear what you all are saying.

It is so touching. God bless each and every one of you and this ministry of As It Is In Heaven. God bless all that you do, Chris, and all your team does to help save souls. You let the Lord work through you, and you give him the glory and praise.

I am sorry for going on. It is just very overwhelming. It was so beautiful. Mercy and love were so powerful. God wants that for everyone. He does not want to lose even one soul.

What I am hearing you say is the power of the universal church. In heaven, there are no denominations. We are all brought into the dance with the Father.

I feel like that is confirmed. I am not trying to be a heretic. I honestly have not done studies around pets in heaven. But I know God’s ways are higher than our ways.

As you were praying, God was ministering to your heart that nothing is lost or forgotten to him. He is so attentive. He knows every little element of your life, Vess, even those pets you had and the strays that came into your life.

Vess, I feel like that is also ministering to me and Dan, especially as we are reformatting the As It Is In Heaven website and opening the nets to catch more fish and serve the body of Christ in a greater way.

It speaks to some of the language we have around Catholic language. I am feeling more and more called to serve in an ecumenical way. All denominations need deliverance. All denominations need physical healing. Atheists need to be healed, delivered, and saved too.

Praise God for that, my dear sister. Thank you for being with us.

Dan, thank you for pulling that down for us. Now I will close us out unless anyone has anything else to include.

For the announcements, thank you to Liy for helping us pull this together. The announcements are now on our website, which makes things easier instead of having to go into a separate sheet.

Every Monday morning at 9:00, we ascend into heaven together. That is what this meeting is. We give our first fruits to God and let him minister to our hearts, love us, and show us what the week will look like. He continues to encourage us so we can circle back the following week and see the revelations happening.

I am looking forward to the party in heaven that is happening this week.

Starting last Wednesday, Disarming Lies is now a weekly meeting at 1:30 Central time on Wednesdays. Thank you to everyone who can join.

Mark Kohler, who Dan shared has prayed for someone who was raised from the dead, is going to lead our physical healing meeting on April 7 at 7:15 Central time. We are looking forward to that meeting taking off.

This QR code gives you access to all the things we are doing, including a place to donate to the As It Is In Heaven ministry, so we can continue to build more and more for the kingdom of heaven.

Let us now close in prayer.

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, we love you. We give you our hearts. We praise your name, God. We love you. We thank you, Father God, for all the ways you love us and bring us deeper into union with you.

Thank you, Lord, for allowing us, through the gift of Jesus’s death on a cross, to come boldly before the throne of God and enter into heaven. It is our inheritance as your beloved. You do not want any separation with your children.

We thank you for the opportunity to come into heaven, spend time with you, rise above our earthly circumstances, and see what you are doing in heaven.

It is like honey when we are up in heaven. That stickiness stays on us. As we leave heaven and enter back into the world, people will experience this honey, this honeydew from heaven that is on us. People so desperately want to taste this honey from heaven.

I declare in Jesus’s name that this honeydew from heaven will be on each of us and on every person who took part in this call. People are going to say, “I do not know what is different about you, but I feel something, and it feels amazing.”

God, I thank you for all the testimonies. As this dew of heaven is in our souls, when we encounter people in the world, simply being around them will shift the atmosphere because we are citizens of heaven. We bring the faith, hope, and love of heaven, and it is pouring out over the land right now.

Thank you, Lord. It is intoxicating. People are getting drunk in your Spirit as we enter the rooms.

I decree and declare all this in the mighty name of our blessed Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Amen. Amen.

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

I love you all. I look forward to seeing you again.
