I have always been a firm believer that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. This book has come in due season because God is activating everyone in His presence who is willing to love and bring His nature on the earth. Kevin captures key moments in his own personal life that help the reader make the same key connections to simple truths that can unlock a world of perspective on how to pursue your own supernatural journey.

In his first book The Ultimate Treasure Hunt, Kevin taught us how to supernaturally find treasure in the hearts of people who may have lost their way in the vortex of world circumstances. Kevin Dedmons new book, Unlocking Heaven, reads like a five-star sequel to a great movie.

As you make your way through the pages of this book you will find yourself on a Holy Spirit journey in which you will be inspired to walk in miracles, empowered to do the works of Jesus and equipped with the boldness to go where you have never gone before! This book is a must-read for every serious Christian!

F OREWORD
E VERY Wednesday morning our staff gathers for about three hours. Its my favorite meeting of the week. I love to spend time with this amazing team. Together we share the miracles we have seen in the last week or so. We also talk about what were learning from the Holy Spirit about the realm of His miracle-working power. We usually cut off the reports after about two hours. To say it is encouraging is a great understatement. I constantly find myself turning to whoever is sitting next to me and saying, Can you believe we get to be alive at a time like this? We are experiencing more than I ever dreamed of as a young man.
Sometimes we learn by drafting on another persons experience. The team concept expands each persons opportunity to learn and be changedespecially when the culture of honor for one another is the glue that holds us together. One of the great truths regarding miracles is that ministering with people who have a great anointing for healing and deliverance affects what we are able to do. Their grace for miracles eventually becomes our own. Kevin Dedmon embraced this process with joy.
The Dedmon family moved to Redding several years ago after a brief visit. They resigned their pastoral position and became students in our Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Kevin was already a successful pastor with a great education, a heart for ministry, and a powerful anointing for evangelism. I dont know very many ministers who would be willing to do this, especially when you consider that this successful pastor and wife might be sitting next to someone in our school who was only a few months old in the Lord. But desperation for God causes people to do the unthinkable. It seems to be the way to break into the signs that make you wonder.
