In the Bible there are a number of examples of believers who were physically moved in the Spirit from one place to another. For example, the Evangelist Philip was moved from the road which went from Jerusalem to Gaza to a town called Azotus after witnessing to the Ethiopian Treasurer (Leading him to faith in Christ and baptizing him). Enoch was another of God’s followers to be translated from earth to heaven (While still alive).

Scriptures:

Ezekiel 3:12 (NIV)
Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound–May the glory of the LORD be praised in his dwelling place!

Ezekiel 3:14 (NIV)
The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me.

Ezekiel 8:3 (NIV)
He stretched out what looked like a hand and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and in visions of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance to the north gate of the inner court, where the idol that provokes to jealousy stood. (This time in a vision)

Ezekiel 11:1 (NIV)
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east…

Ezekiel 11:24 (NIV)
The Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the exiles in Babylonia in the vision given by the Spirit of God. Then the vision I had seen went up from me… (This time in a vision)

Hebrews 11:5 (KJV)
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Prayer:

Lord, I am open to be translated in the Spirit like Ezekiel if that is Your will, if it will serve Your purposes and if it will bring glory and honor to You. Under no circumstance, Lord, let such an experience make me proud or arrogant and alienate me from You, Your will and Your plan in Jesus’ Name. Amen
