" My Visitation With God Our Father In God's Garden"
(June 23, 2014)
Before reading this, you may want to read:
"Christ Leaves Us In Our Father's Care (Visitation); June 25, 2014"
"Christ With His Crown On His Head; June 4, 2014"
The following Visitation sums up the first two (see links above), and then goes further as we meet our Father.,
On June 23, 2014, while in worship with two friends and sisters in Christ, I was spiritually transported into THE SAME BEAUTIFUL PARK that I was in with Jesus two weeks before. In that visitation, Jesus gave me/us into His Father's care (see first link above).
I saw a man that I thought was Jesus at first. The man was dressed in a white robe and had hair to His shoulders. I could see His face very clearly, and He indeed had Jesus's face. As I stood before this man, He said, "I am your Father." I said, "You look just like Jesus." God said, "God is One." God repeated this several times during this Visitation.
| [John 14:9-14] Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me [Jesus] has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. NKJV |
Then, God truly caught me by surprise when He said, "You have suffered enough." He then reminded me of the verse:
[1 Peter 3:18] For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God,being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit... NKJV
[1 Peter 4:1-2] Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind[also see 1 Cor. 2:16], for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. NKJV |
Prior to this Visitation, I had been praying to better understand what Jesus meant when He said that He was leaving me/us in our Father's care. Since the time that Jesus had said this I had not understood the changes that this might make in my relationship with both Jesus and God our Father. I had also been praying that God give me a clearer understanding of His Holy Spirit. I prayed that He and I become close friends like Jesus and I are.
As I stood before God, I was in my body and did not see myself. God placed me inside His robe and quickly took me out again. I now stood before Him as a small Child; I remained in my body and could see this little Child/me also. God again reminded me of what Jesus said, "I leave you in My Father's care." As I stood with God all lack of understanding vanished.
He reminded me of Jesus's statement, and I felt so in awe of what they both are doing for me and God's people. Our Father reminded me of the following scripture:
| [1 Cor 15:20-28] But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the (1)firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep [us]. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. But each one in his own order: Christ the (1)firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ's at His coming. Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He [Christ] puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. For He [Christ]must reign [as King] till He has put all enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be destroyed is death. For "He [God our Father] has put all things under His [Jesus'] feet." But when He says "all things are put under Him," it is evident that He [God our Father] who put all things under Him is excepted [the exception]. Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him [God our Father] who put all things under Him [Christ], that God may be all in all. NKJV |
When Jesus said, "I am leaving you in My Father's care," I remembered Jesus' comments from the cross, as He gave His mother into John's care:
| [John 19:26-27] When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. NKJV |
We are not Jesus' mother, but we are Christ's Bride/Wife. As He placed us in His Father's care, He did it for the same reason. Notice, that the disciple John took Mary, Jesus' mother, into his own home. This is exactly what our Father is doing for us in order to protect us, nurture us, and love us.
Jesus went off to fight a spiritual battle (and perhaps a physical one?) Out of indescribable love, Jesus placed us in the care of His Father for safe keeping (both spiritually and physically).
When Jesus put on His crown and made the statement, "I am going to go and fight our enemy" He was letting all of us know that we had entered, or will enter very soon, Revelation 14 (discussed in greater detail in "Christ Leaves Us In Our Father's Care (Visitation); June 25, 2014".
[Revelation 14:1 thru 15:4] Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father's name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. These are the ones who were not defiled with women [or foreign gods], for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being (1)firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no deceit [falsehood; lie], for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth � to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people � saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water."
And another angel followed, saying, "Babylon [world] is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she has made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication."
Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the (2)beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."Here is the patience of the saints [who are to become Christ's image and are marked in His name (above all Names)]; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them."
Reaping the Earth's Harvest (of God's people)
(14:14) Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man [John knew Jesus as the Son of Man, while Jesus was on earth], having on His [Jesus'] head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle [Jesus also said that we are His sickle]. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe." So He [Jesus] who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.
Reaping the Grapes of Wrath (those who do not fear God and give Him the glory)
Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angelcame out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle [an angel and not Jesus], saying, "Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe." So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth [those who do not fear and/or give Him the glory], and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trampled outside the city [Jesus was murdered outside the city], and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses' bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs. NKJV
(15:1) Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name [we are in the image of God/Christ and marked literally in His name], standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:
"Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your judgments have been manifested." NKJV |
Before going into battle for us Jesus purposefully went to His Father and gave us to Him NOW! In honor of His Son's request ( and because it is written) we have NOW become our Father's possession and Children. He is NOW our Creator and again our relationship is becoming as it was before our FALL.
Our Father said several times that I/we had become as Jesus Christ is to Him [God our Father]. As I stood with God our Father, I knew that I/we are now His sons, just as Jesus Christ is. Through Christ's sacrifice, love, and sharing we too are Children and sons of God our Father.
[Rom 8:14-20] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs � heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him[God our Father said, "You have suffered enough"], that we may also be glorified together.
From Suffering to Glory
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. [God said, "You have suffered enough"] NKJV
[Gal 3:26-29] For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. NKJV
[Gal 4:6-7] And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. NKJV
[Eph 5:6-7] Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience [not the legitimate sons of God]. Therefore do not be partakers with them. NKJV
[Heb 12:7-11] If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it [chastening/correction] yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been TRAINED BY IT. NKJV |
Because we are God's Children, sons, we mean as much to our Father as Jesus does. Remember, Jesus Himself decided to, and did or will give us to our Father at this time. Only Christ our sacrificial Lamb, the intercessor between us and God our Father, could pay the price and place us before God our Father again; but, through His love and sharing we too have literally become our Father's little Children and Christ's Bride and Wife.
At one point in this Visitation, our Father got down on His knees so that He was no higher than me, who was as a small Child in height. Though I don't remember hearing what was said, I remember being in awe of this love that He displayed. As I saw this before me I remembered seeing one of my friends, and therefore myself, do this many times with small children and even animals. In this way, the little ones are not intimidated.
Our Father, understanding my feeling of complete awe and inadequacy, did this out of His immense love for His innocent Child/Children, so that we might know and understand Him and His love for us better. He humbled Himself for His innocent Children's, little ones, sake. "Innocent" is how He sees us and how He treated me; and "Innocent" is how I felt. He loves me/us as the innocent Child that He has created me/us to be.
I, beyond any doubt, understood that this was done through my loving Parent, my Dad, and not the God Almighty that I thought I knew before this date. He loves us so much, and though I know and feel His love for us, I am incapable of writing it down on paper.
He stood up again, and He and I stood together. He motioned with his forefinger, as humans sometimes do, for me to come closer to Him. He again took me by my hand, and we began to walk forward. He was so excited and almost laughing in delight as He said,"I have so many things to teach you and show you." He was exactly as one would expect a new Father to be, though He was, of course, our Father before this day.
He showed me, in my mind, His relationship with Jesus when Jesus was on earth; and how he had taught Jesus all these wonderful things. As He was leading me, I thought for a very brief moment that we were going to walk on water. Instead, we levitated and walked a very short distance over a valley while holding hands.
He then took me into a vision that I had been given years ago. We were standing in front of His heavenly Temple, which has always looked more like a castle to me than a Temple to me. He said, "Do you remember this?" I said, "Yes." We stood outside only long enough for me to remember where I was.
In today's Visitation, the river that had once been there, in the previous vision, was no longer seen. Years ago, when I was given the previous vision, I was not allowed to enter the throne room or any room other than a basement type area. In the basement area I saw several people in the distance. As I got closer to them they were not real people but were cardboard cutouts of people. I remember walking toward them and then realizing that they were not real, and that they possessed no life within. When I got to where they were standing I walked through and around them, rather than joining them. At that time, God said to me that this had been a test, and that my ability to see their falseness and to walk away from them not only taught me but also pleased Him.
Praise God! In this visitation, I was placed by God in His Throne room and was shown things I had never seen before. I have been there before, but I was present in visions; and today I was within a visitation and all things were real. This room was much different than anything I had seen before.
The room, including God's throne, was created from the brilliant liquid "gold" that emanated God's Light. The gold was thick, and as I looked at the floor it moved slightly. The floor reminded me of a pool of heavy, heavy, almost solid, liquid. It was so solid that I could stand on it, and yet it moved slightly in a wavy manner. I stood as a small Child before the throne of God, but at this time I did not see our Father. I heard our Father say, "Anointing." All things, except God our Father (who I did not see), were covered and anointed in this pure heavy gold anointing oil.
MUST READ: "The Roaring Lion and The Three Olive Trees" (Shows the great abundance of Anointing oil coming to God's people NOW)
[Ps 45:1-7] My [David's] heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King [God our Father and/or Christ Jesus]; my [David's] tongue is the pen of a ready writer. You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace [God's Devine influence on your heart] is poured upon Your [Christ's] lips; therefore God has blessed You forever. Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, with Your glory and Your majesty. And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness; and Your right hand shall teach You awesome things. Your arrows [a piercer] are sharp in the heart of the King's enemies; the peoples fall under You. Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, Your God [Jesus'/our Father], has ANOINTED You with the OIL of gladness more than Your companions/us.

The worship in the physical, at my friends house, was coming to an end; and I knew that it was time for me to return. At that time in my Visitation, God and I stood in the park again and our Father said, "This is My Garden."
GOD'S GARDEN
(ALSO CHRIST'S GARDEN/PARK; THE GARDEN OF THE LORD)
The Garden of Eden represented God's ideal environment for man. Special characteristics of Eden were its wide variety of trees (Gen 2:9; Ezek 31:8-9), its precious stones and metals (Gen 2:11-12; Ezek 28:13-14), and its rivers (Gen 2:10-14; Rev 22:1-2), all of them portraying its richness and fertility. Eden is also sometimes referred to in the Bible as the garden of the Lord (Gen 13:10; Isa 51:3) or the garden of God (Ezek 28:13; 31:8-9).Some of this garden's features, especially its rivers and the TREE OF LIFE, are also used to portray God's final blessings for His people (Ezek 47:12; Rev 22:1-2,14).
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright � 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)
[Gen 2:8-16] The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst [middle] of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the (*)Euphrates. Then the Lord God took the man [Hebrew: adam/man] and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. NKJV
[Isa 61: 1-11]
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has ANOINTED Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord , and the day of vengeance of our God[in this Bible scripture God is explaining what the last two Visitations have: God has plans for both His people, and for those who do not give God the glory and fear Him]; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning (suffering), the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified...
(10) I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul [also mind; Strong's] shall be joyful in my God; for He has [past tense] clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the GARDEN CAUSES the things that are sown in it to spring forth, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations. NKJV
[Ezek 28:11-16] Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre [also satan], and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord God: "You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering..." NKJV
[Isa 51:3-5] For the Lord will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the GARDEN of the Lord; Joy and Gladness will be found in it, Thanksgiving and the voice of melody. "Listen to Me, My people; and give ear to Me, O My nation: for law will proceed from Me, and I will make My justice rest as a light of the peoples. My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, and My arms will judge the peoples... (9) Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord! Awake as in the ancient days, in the generations of old... (11) So the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with SINGING, with everlasting Joy on their heads. They shall obtain Joy and Gladness [anointing]; sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (16) And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, that I may PLANT THE HEAVENS, lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, 'You are My people.'" NKJV
|
(1) "firstfruits": Though this is not why I was given this Visitation, I found it very interesting:
Nelson's Illustrated Dictionary defines "firstfruits as: "The firstborn of the flocks and the first vegetables and grains to be gathered at harvest time. The Hebrew people thought of these as belonging to God in a special sense. They were dedicated or presented to God on the day of the firstfruits, a part of the celebration of PENTECOST (Num 28:26; 2 Chron 31:5).
(from Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Copyright � 1986, Thomas Nelson Publishers)
Nave's Topical Bible further defines "firstfruits" as:
First ripe of fruits, grain, oil, wine, and first of fleece, required as an offering
Offerings of, must be free from blemish
Presented at the tabernacle
Belonged to the priests
Freewill offerings of, given to the prophets
Wave offering of
As a heave offering
To be offered as a thank-offering upon entrance into the Land of Promise
FIGURATIVE
