CONTENTS
IN PAST GENERATIONS THE LORD poured out His anointing on individuals so that His goodness and power would be displayed to His people. Entire generations were impacted by the likes of Smith Wigglesworth, John G. Lake, Kathryn Kuhlman, and countless others. People came from around the world to receive from their ministries and to experience the presence and works of God for themselves. These heroes of the faith were amazing gifts to the church. But in recent days there has been a shift. Its not that God has withheld His anointing from individuals. Its that He is now pouring out His anointing on individuals who are positioned to equip a generation. Gods desire is for His entire body to manifest His power and love, reaching the whole world through the beauty of the gospel.
Blake Healy is one of these empowering individuals. His focus is not only on what God has for him individually. It is also on the awakening of the body of Christ, that it might reach its full potential. In his book Profound Good, Blake takes us through his journey as a seer. I loved his first book, The Veil, so much that I could hardly put it down. It was one of those books that I felt disappointed to finish. Profound Good is the same. His encounters with the spirit realm are both moving and mind-boggling, but ultimately they will leave you hungry for more of God.
This book is not just the memoir of a gifted man; it is the journey of a teacher. With genuine humility Blake allows us to experience his learning curve as he expresses the reality of the spirit realm in a way that invites others to encounter God more fully. The kindness and generosity of the Father are at the core of this journey. As we read of Blakes unexaggerated visions and encounters with the Lord, we get to see a man who isnt growing just in his ability to see but also in his understanding of Gods heart for His people.
We have been called to be naturally supernatural. In Matthew 5 there is an interesting verse. It says, Pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven (vv. 4445, MEV). This doesnt mean that you become born again once you pray for someone who opposes you. It implies that when you do what is unnatural to people but natural for God, you step into who you are. And when you step into who you truly are, He is revealed. Nowhere is this more evident than in how we interact with the realm of the unseen.
We were born into a battle. We dont focus on the enemy. But to live without an awareness of the spiritual battle around us would be to limit ourselves to acting like mere humans (1 Cor. 3:3). Once we are born again, Gods divine nature is within us. It is no longer acceptable to live within the limitations of humanity. God expects more; He anticipates more. He doesnt do this as an angry Father who is hard to please. He is well aware of what Jesus accomplished for us. Unfortunately we are just not always aware of ityet. If you dont know you have money in the bank, you probably wont write checks. The discovery of what Hes put into our account increases our capacity to live with risk that He might be known for who He is. We have been called to live a life that is unnatural for people but natural for God. And because we know what Hes paid for, we can know what is possible through Him.
This book is a gift to the body of Christ. I cant imagine anyone reading through Profound Good without being stirred up with a fresh hunger for what is to be the normal Christian life. The insights gained will last a lifetime. The stories of Blakes encounters are not written to add shock value. Instead, they are included that they might reveal the Father in a way that compels us to love the world as He does. It is a world that cries out to experience Gods true nature as a Father.
Blake successfully writes in a way that helps us understand it is not about his gift or call in life. In fact, he states, I cannot see in the spirit because I am a gifted person. I can see in the spirit because I have a heavenly Father who wants me to know Him. That is why I can see in the spirit; that is why you can see in the spirit. The rich conclusion of Profound Good is that Blake Healy writes as a prophetic prototype of a generation to come. May it be us. May it be now.

AUTHOR, WHEN HEAVEN INVADES EARTH AND
THE WAY OF LIFE
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING to the sound of my daughter, November, wiggling around in her crib. My wife got up with her the past few mornings, so I decided it was probably my turn. I looked out the window. It was still dark but in that warmish blue way it is just before dawn. I threw off the covers, rolled to my feet, and walked around to the crib, doing my best not to trip as I navigated the short obstacle course of laundry and plastic toys on the floor.
An angel was floating over my daughters crib. It lay facedown in the air, looking at November face to face as it hovered two feet above her. The angel had long golden-blond hair and was wearing a purple-and-blue robe patterned with hand-stitched silver stars. The stars ran down along the surface of the fabric and fell off its edges, pouring down over the face of the smiling infant in the crib, along with a gentle flow of liquid light.
