Connected to these trances, Joyner gives five levels of the prophetic revelation or trances again with no genuine support from the Word of God. These are genuine revelations. They can be extraordinarily specific and accurate when interpreted by those who are experienced and sensitive to them. This often comes when I am writing, or speaking, and it gives me much greater confidence in the importance or accuracy of what I am saying. I believe that this was probably experienced by the apostles as they wrote the New Testament epistles.
Open visions are external, and are viewed with the clarity of a movie screen.
I believe that there is far less possibility of mixture in revelations that come this way. Trances were a common experience of the biblical prophets. Trances are like dreaming where you are awake. Instead of just seeing a 'screen' like in an open vision, you feel like you are in the movie, that you are actually there in a strange way. Rick Joyner Attacks Bible Believers Joyner's chief purpose in this book is to attack anyone that discerns or believes the Bible to be infallible and who is willing to defend truth to the end.
