Communion

Dear Father,

Thank You for another day!  Thank You for all that You have done.  Thank You for this beautiful ministry and the communion with my friends who love You so.  Thank You for my family and our lovely warm home.  We are truly blessed by You as I have never had a home which I could truly call ‘our home’.  Father, I am now four days into my ninth bridge.  These last few days have been extremely painful.

It is when I am in the most pain that I become overwhelmed by my condition.  Comfort is fleeting.  Instead of an open display of joy, I then choose to remain quiet.  I then become introspective, reflecting on times over old bridges.  We are facing some scary days ahead for us.  I can scarcely write a word about it without tears.  I am scared, Father.  I could lie and say that I am not afraid, but I cannot fool You.  You know me.

My husband has spent the last few weeks or so editing our Personal Words from You.  Reviewing all of these has renewed his faith in You, as it always does.  He sees all of the promises You have fulfilled and then knows in his heart that You will fulfill all of those still to come.  When I am my most teary eyed, he is there to say, ‘Listen, Erin, God has got this!  Do not worry.  It will be okay.  We will make it!’

Editing these Personal Words is no easy task.  There are over a thousand typewritten pages, starting from the beginning of these dreams in September 2012.  What makes these private dreams different than the public dreams is that, especially when it comes to dealing with our many enemies, they have a much shorter prophetic timeframe.  These private dreams can essentially be divided into three categories:

  • Words of comfort that better times are coming even though I am in pain and have a hard time seeing anything getting better;
  • Danger spots to avoid, particularly for me, my husband and our children; and
  • Our specific enemies, their tactics and how to combat them. This is the category that excites my husband the most.  He has seen at least a hundred of these Personal Words being given about our many enemies and each has unfolded exactly as God said they would…100% accuracy, each and every time!

Now, this does NOT mean that we are immune to trouble though.  No, not at all!  Far from it!  What I lament to you all in the Nest dreams have been allowed and our family has many enemies and still do.  What is unique is that the Lord gives us ‘insider information’ and then we know that, even when it seems like we have been defeated, it merely means that justice will soon be served (and now, and in so many cases, has already been served).

While I know these Personal Words contains gems of wisdom and guidance, I leave this to my husband to comb over and remind me again and again of just how powerful our God we serve is and that He is truly with us.  The trouble is that, when I look back over these old written pages, it brings me back to places when I was in the furnace of affliction.  This is because it deals with past enemies and current enemies, but especially my main enemy, an enemy that still looms in the background even now.

Seriously, why would I want to go back to a place where the furnace was on full flame and I was in the midst of it?  Why?  Well, while I do not fully know the answer to this, I do know this…the enemy fights us the hardest when we are about to gain ground in God’s glory.  The enemy does not want us to reclaim what God has promised us.  Therefore, the enemy fights us, but only with God’s permission and by His lead.

So, why is this allowed?  I believe that I know at least part of the answer.  It is because anything worthy of God, to bathe in His presence and glory, is worth every ounce of hardship down here on Earth.  As a parent, what a wonderful feeling to know that Your child will return to you, not only out of need, but out of counsel and of provision.  However, even more importantly, especially when they return out of love.

In return, we, as children, run after God, our Father, because we cannot get enough of Him.  Down here, we want more of Jesus and more of God, His Father.  When we cry out in pain and desperation, He answers us.  Right now, Father, Your Words of comfort do not remove my physical pain, but they do soften my heart.  In the last few days, I have relived something painful from my past.

I know there is a purpose to all of this as well.  You are preparing all of us to go back to old battlefields.  You are doing this as there is unfinished business there.  This is all according to Your plans and to further our healing.  Even though I understand this, it is still just so difficult.  However, there are countless times in the Bible that You said someone ‘returned from exile’.  It is now our turn to ‘return from exile’!

In this context, I just know that You are preparing our household for what comes next.  However, it is difficult to imagine anything, any change, as I am now…but, really, as we are now as a family.  However, Father, You are my Father and my Miracle Maker and I pursue You.  I trust in You and Your ways, ways that are higher than ours.  Most importantly, I love You with my entire heart, soul and spirit.

Father, You have answered so many of my prayers, especially those regarding children, the lost, the sick and the dying.  I am so thankful.  I am especially thankful for You keeping that little three-year-old safe for three days in North Carolina during freezing conditions.  He was stuck in a briar bush and could not move.

The boy claims a bear came to visit him a few times and would keep him warm.  Father, this is impossible in the natural, so I just know that this ‘bear’ was sent by You supernaturally to keep this toddler alive.  What a miracle!  Thank You, Father!  Thank You also for the glorious dream I had last night…

Sub-dream 1 description begins…

I was in an orchard of fragrant trees blossoming.  A breeze stirred up and the blossom pedals started to fly around in the air.  They then started to make so many beautiful and intricate designs.  It was stunning.  I then heard the sound of a distant waterfall.  I was walking in bare feet and the grass was incredibly soft.  Even though the sun was just rising, it was already shining so brightly.  It felt like the morning.  It was a beautiful dawn.

Sub-dream 1 description over…

Father, I love blossoms from trees.  They are so beautiful.  It is a promise from You that, even though we are in the cold winter months, soon, very soon, spring will come, along with those blossoms.  We also know that, when we see this, we know summer is soon to come shortly thereafter.  Oh Lord, thank You so much for such beautiful blossoms!

Jesus:  “Erin, come up.”

I started to laugh as I was in the same orchard as my sub-dream.  It was such a beautiful orchard that it took my breath away.  There were so many varieties of fruit trees there that I could not count them all.  They were all blossoming.  There were so many different colors, including whites, pinks, reds, purples, blues, oranges, violets and yellows, but also other colors with no earthly equivalent.  I could hear birds chirping.  There was soft grass under my feet.

I looked down one of the rows of trees and I could see the vineyard in the distance.  Below this orchard, I could also see the aspen grove.  It was stunning.  I could also see the Heavenly Valley below.  On the opposite side of the orchard, I could hear water flowing.  I decided to walk towards this beautiful sound.  There in front of me was a crystal-clear mountain brook.

This brook flowed down the hill in a type of stairstep formation.  Next to the brook were several small stairsteps consisting of flat stones.  I could tell that they had been beautifully crafted by a master landscape designer.  I started to giggle with glee when I decided to walk down the small stairsteps to see where they led to.  After I stepped down a few of these steps, I heard the Voice of the Lord call out to me.

Jesus:  “Erin, where are you going?  I came to meet you in the blossoms!”

Before I could utter a word in reply, Jesus was right there in front of me.  He had a huge smile on His face.

Jesus:  “Hmm, Erin, you are not an easy one to pursue around here.”  He started to laugh.  “I brought you to where the trees are blossoming.  Would you like to go back there with Me?”

Me:  “Oh yes, I would love that!  Please forgive me for stepping ahead of You.  Lord, I was just so excited to see where You were in this new place.”

Jesus:  “Well, Erin, I am always with you.”

I hugged Him tightly.  I began to cry as I did not want to let Him go!  I felt so safe in His arms that words cannot even describe His comforting presence.

Jesus:  “It is okay.  I am glad that you are here with Me.”

Me:  “Lord, time does not stop.  It moves forward.  Sometimes I wish that I could go back and make more out of the special times You had given me.  Well, perhaps I would leave out the ‘furnace of affliction’ part though.”

Jesus:  Smiling.  “If that was the case, what time would you have left to relive?  What time was there apart from the furnace?”

I thought long and hard.  After a while, I realized that there weren’t any.

Me:  “Hmm, how about just the snippets of time that I had spent with my children?  They grew up too fast, Lord.  I can no longer hold them on my lap and read to them.  I can no longer hear their laughter as I read.  I can’t…”  I started to cry.  “Oh Lord, this is cruel.  I missed so much.  I miss what I can no longer have.”

Jesus:  “That is because God is the Keeper of Time.  Time is different here.  However, where you are, time waits for no one.  Nothing is promised in relationship to time there apart from God.  Time is a measure there on Earth.  Here, there is no need to measure time.  Time is never looked at here with a sense of dread.  Time is different here.  Sunrises and sunsets are much longer here.

“Each sunrise and sunset is important here, but the consequences of time are no longer of aging or death.  Time is not filled with regret here.  I know how much time you were robbed of from your enemies.  I know how much you lost with your children at the hands of your enemy.  While My Father could reverse time, He will not as this would not change the outcome.  This is because all of this happened as He had planned.  You must understand that this was and is My Father’s Will.

“Now I tell you that I will make all things new again.  I will bind up your brokenness and remove it.  I bring My recompense to you, Erin.  I have promised.  You will be overjoyed.  Please understand that time is not yours.  No man can control it.  While men can confuse it, remove evidence of history and recreate a new narrative, time belongs only to God, My Father.”

Me:  “Lord, a long time ago, when I was not in pain and could move around like an athlete, time seemed to fly by.  I never wanted the day to end.  However, as I am now, time drags on and it is not my friend.  While it is a great blessing to have my husband and children here with me, I cannot do much with them and that breaks my heart.”

Just then, I came out of the dream and felt that I should look at my clock.  I noticed that the third hand on the clock had stuck and that the time on my clock had frozen at 11:40am as a result.  It did this even though the pendulum of the clock was still going back and forth.  When I checked the true time, I realized it was actually 1:31pm.  I laughed as I went back to Him.

Jesus:  Laughing.  “Yes, Erin, I can stop a clock!”

Me:  Laughing.  “You are so funny, Lord.  This clock has kept time perfectly for over three years.  Why now?”

Jesus:  “I decided to answer your prayer to hold time.”

Me:  “Well, Lord, and, as You know, this is just one clock.  The sun is still moving in the horizon.  The Earth has not stopped rotating.”

Jesus:  “Alright then, would you like Me to send it backwards?  I can do this.  Should I stop it?  I can do this too!” (2 Kings 20:11, Isaiah 38:8, Joshua 10:13)

Me:  “Forgive me, Lord.  I know that You had did this for Joshua.  He prayed for this and You did the impossible.  Well, nothing is impossible for You!”

Jesus:  “Yes, Erin, there was no day like it before this or ever since.  However, Erin, there soon comes a day unlike any other day for you and those that I have called.  Even though this day might not be the same as it was for Joshua against his enemies in that day, it will be a new thing that I will do.  Do not fear this though.  The light of day shall rest upon you and the splendor and glory of My chosen shall be changed.

“In the days of trouble that follow, evil shall be heaped upon the sinners, but the righteous shall triumph.  Others will be made to see that the time to repent has come (Enoch 49:1-3).  So, Erin, the tears that you cry right now are tears from lost time.  However, the time has now come and change is at hand.

“Surely as you see the signs of spring, you know that summer is close.”  He reached over and hugged me.  “It is natural for a woman who has given birth to grieve for her children and pray for their protection over the cursed lands.  However, do not worry as I will send for you and keep you safe in the times of trouble.  Nothing shall harm you.

“Now, your prayers have been strengthened.  God, My Father, hears your prayers in His Courts.  You cry out for mercy and your prayers are answered.  I will send angels concerning you, Erin, and they will guard you in all that you do.  Do not be afraid, Erin, as your foot will not strike a stone.”

I felt a nudge in my Spirit to reach over and touch my Heavenly hair.  It was resting on the softest linen gown I have ever felt.  My hair was long and felt as beautiful as strands of silk.  Everything is just so incredibly perfect here in Heaven!

Me:  Laughing.  “When will I have all of this?”

Jesus:  “You have already received it on Earth as it is in Heaven.  Here, you already have it… there, just a little longer.”

Me:  Jumping up and down in excitement.  “Oh Lord, Thank You!  Thank You!”

Jesus:  “Now, you let Me take your worries and burdens, okay?”

Me:  “Yes, Lord, but I am still scared.”

Jesus:  “Do not be, Erin, as I am with you.  Now, rejoice!  Rejoice!  Come, we have much to do!”

He held out His hand towards me.  Once I reached for His hand, He started to lead me back to the blossoming orchard.

Dream over…

Oh yes, here is a picture of a column of light that I saw on the dawn of my birthday…
