Foreword
It all starts with a dream; but this dream, which was given to Lilo Keller, is more than a beautiful scene that took place in her nightly thoughts. It is a night vision with a specific and biblical message which the Church absolutely must hear in this time of change. "Look at Me and know Me"— God calls to us through Lilo's dream – and that is exactly what we should do. It is the hour in which our gaze must be directed above all to God in order to recognize His ways, His nature, and His power.
As the book progresses, Lilo takes us into the message of other significant dream messages that speak directly to us as the Bride of Christ. These are extremely important calls to align ourselves with God in His plans and emotions, to faithfulness and a heightened awareness of the importance of sanctification, and to be vigilant against the temptations of the enemy. While studying the text, I was reminded of the word of Jesus that He repeated again and again, "He who has ears, let him hear!" This confirms to me the importance of what is written in this book.
All the messages culminate in the call by our Bridegroom God to sit at His feet—the place where in ancient times the disciples of a rabbi listened to the words of their master, and at the same time the place of great intimacy between man and God, as Lilo shows in the example of Mary Magdalene.
I want to encourage you to read this book with the open eyes of your heart and a very attentive spirit. Allow the messages to touch you, feel the Holy Spirit speaking to you, and in your everyday life strive to do the most important thing the Church can do today: have eye contact with God and stay close to Him above everything else.

The Falcon
In a dream, I saw a female figure approaching me who was wearing a very simple, light coat. Without a word she stopped in front of me and looked deeply into my eyes. When I looked into her beautiful eyes, my heart burned inside me and I knew in my spirit it was the Lord, the Holy Spirit!
In that moment, I saw the figure turn into a huge bird that started to soar and circle above me. A cry of joy burst forth from deep within me and I started shouting, “The falcon has come!” I knew that we had received help from heaven. The Lord had answered our prayers.
In another sequence of the dream, I saw this huge falcon plunge down, grab a snake that had found its way into our camp undetected and kill it. Then it soared upward again and kept killing small and large snakes that had also lodged themselves in other groups without anybody noticing. In the dream, I was painfully aware of how much strength, joy, energy, and life had been stolen from us by the presence of the snakes. I started praying that everything stolen from us would be returned sevenfold.
When I woke up, on the one hand I sensed great gratitude for God's help and His intervention. On the other hand, I was shocked by the fact that no one had even noticed the snakes. How could this have happened?!
In the following chapters, I would like to go into more detail about some of the points that became clear to me when I prayed about the meaning of this dream.
God’s Fundamental “Yes”
If you look into the eyes of a small child, you will discover a piece of heaven in them. In the same way, God seeks eye contact with us in order to discover a piece of Himself in our eyes, and at the same time to touch our innermost being with His love and revelation. In His eyes, we see the glow of a fundamental “Yes” for His creation and all His creatures. He is unreservedly for us and seeks fellowship with us.
My eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; He who walks in a blameless way is the one who will minister to me! (Psalm 101:6; NASB)
I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you (Psalm 32:8; NASB).
In God's eyes, we find the reflection of His entire being, His presence, and His glory. They are like a gate through which we can enter the realm of heaven. As soon as the presence of God touches our eyes, our spirit opens and we can see things that are invisible to our natural eyes and outside of our time, because we are enabled to see and perceive a piece of eternity. The Spirit of God opens the eyes of our hearts and gives us knowledge and revelation so that we become "seeing" in the spiritual sense (see Ephesians 1:17-18; John 14:16).
This is what the servant of the Prophet Elisha experienced when he was full of fear and panic because the city was completely surrounded by hostile armies. Elisha said to him, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." He prayed that God would open his eyes. After that the servant was able to see the fiery chariots and horses, which far outnumbered the great army of the enemy, and despite the difficult situation he was greatly encouraged (see 2 Kings 6:15-17; NSAB).
This is what I experienced in my dream. By looking into the eyes of God, I started to see things that I had not been able to see before. The Holy Spirit gave me His vision, and I was suddenly able to see Him coming to our aid, even though the reality still looked quite different.
We can find another example in the book of Revelation, where John sees an open door in heaven and hears a voice saying to him, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place…" (Revelation 4:1; NASB). The door becomes the gate to the invisible world, which is as real as the world he saw with his natural eyes. The door also symbolizes Jesus as the way to the Father and to all the glory that surrounds Him in the throne room.
Eyes Like Fire
The eyes of the exalted Lord are like flames of fire (see Revelation 1:14). They express His divine will and His fiery passion to establish justice and righteousness, peace and joy – attributes of His Kingdom – here on earth (see Romans 14:17). The worldwide body of Christ will go through increasing upheavals and shakings, so that the unshakeable, that which endures for eternity, may remain.
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens” (Haggai 2:6). The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken – that is, created things – so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:26–29; NIV)
