I don’t know why you would say not to look for visions though. Habakkuk said in 2:1 …and will watch to see what he will say unto me…
If he is going to “watch” and “see” what God will say unto him, he must be waiting for a vision.
Then in verse 2 the Lord answered him and said, …Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables…
So… he was waiting and watching for a vision, and God gave him a vision.
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
God said it’s going to happen, why not expect it? I get dreams and visions all the time. Very, very few have anything to do with the demonic. I really don’t have a problem with the visions, it is still Leviticus 14 that I am working on. That’s where I am looking for some advice. I would like a little more understanding on that chapter, and the thumb of the right hand and it’s significance.
God bless

The word orthodox is nothing more than "right believing." What I meant by it, was don't get someone who believes in heresies or other things that are unChristian to be your spiritual adviser.
Also, in regards to what I meant by not going to look for mystical things to happen to you (i.e. visions, dreams, mystic happenings) is that they can very well can be disguises from the Devil. He is afterall, an "Angel of Light" and deceives many. I'm not saying that you aren't receiving visions from God, but I'm not saying that you are. The main idea is to be extremely careful and try to not go searching for things. Satan is out there to deceive and he will do it ever so subtly. My main suggestion is to just beware and tread with extreme caution.
Christ is risen. Glorify Him!
