Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day! Thank You for Your love, grace and mercy. Thank You for being our Father over all things. You are a grand and wonderful mystery. Your love never fails us.
Sub-Dream 1 “An Invitation to a Cemetery on a Distant Hill” begins…
I received an invitation from my earthly father (who had passed in December 2017) to meet him in a cemetery on a distant hill. I prayed on it and realized this was a lesson from God in this dream and not to be misinterpreted as being from the dead. When I arrived at the location of the invitation, I was met by the groundskeeper.
Groundskeeper: “Welcome to our beautiful Memorial Gardens. This is unlike any cemetery. Instead, it is more like a tribute to the journey of life.”
Me: “I received an invitation from my deceased dad. Is his spirit here?”
Groundskeeper: “No. This is meant to be a representative of your father. Think of it as if he had purchased a lot or area for you here prior to his Homegoing.”
Me: “Why am I just receiving this invitation now? He died over 4.5 years ago now.”
Groundskeeper: “This is not up to us. An Invitation is issued by a Higher Power, the CEO of the Corporation. Speaking of which, can I please see your Invitation?”
I handed him a small scroll. For some reason, this scroll was remarkably different than the card and envelope invitation I had received.
Groundskeeper: He removed the seal and opened the scroll. “Ah, I see… you must be Erin, correct?”
Me: “Yes, I am. However, why am I here? I am not dead.”
Groundskeeper: “Of course you’re not. That’s silly. You clearly are living and breathing. Now, let me explain something. This special garden is not as you think. This is not for the dead as their journey is finished. It is for the living.”
Sub-Dream 1 over…
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
Just then, the groundskeeper changed into an angel of the Lord and I was now up in Heaven. The air was wonderful and I could breathe with ease.
Angel (formerly the groundskeeper): “This is Holy Ground.”
I immediately dropped to my knees as my body went weak. I could no longer stand.
Angel: “Erin, come with me.”
I took off my shoes. The ground changed. The angel took my hand and walked me down a path inside the garden. I noticed that, as we walked, the path was made of perfectly chiseled and honed stone pavers, each with names on them. They fit together so tightly it was as if it all were one stone.
Angel: “Do you know where you are?”
Me: “I have seen this place before. This is God’s Garden in Heaven. I miss it here. I love it here. I can breathe here. I am young again here. My skin is supple and unscarred. My feet are beautiful. I am alive here. I love this.”
Angel: “While you know my brothers, you have not met me yet. My name doesn’t matter right now as all of this is about God and His Glory. This is not for the glory of angels or the reverence of saints, understand?”
Me: “Yes. These stones are beautiful. Who do they represent?”
Angel: “This is the Garden of the Memorial of Saints living on the Earth. This is the place where Heaven wars for those on Earth in prayers. This is where those who have gone before you pray for you in supplication and for your strength in God from Heaven.
“Day or night, this never closes. It is always open. All of Heaven prays for you. Since all who are here in these beautiful stones are from here, they are remembered here as citizens. All of Heaven comes to pray for those who are there where you are.”
Just then, I saw a name removed on a stone and another set up.
Me: “Wait! What just happened? What was that?”
Angel: “The Lord brought them Home here and another name was inserted.”
Me: “Is this different than the names on the other path that I have seen up here?”
Angel: “Yes. In your Home property next to your vineyard in the aspen grove, the path there consists of the names of those you have assisted God in bringing to His Kingdom purposes. Most of these you have never met. These are those who have been brought to God because He has filled you with Living Water and you yielded to Him. He welled up in you and poured out healings, signs, miracles and wonders.
“It is from your past, present day and many days to come. The Lord showed you the ripple effect of just one small stone in still water. He then showed you the effects of a larger stone. However, you are yet to see what Great Stone of God is soon to come. As He has shaped and honed by hand each one in unison, they are laid, each plumb, perfectly fitting together as one. Now come with me.”
As we walked together in this incredible Garden of God, there were beautiful ponds and fountains. A beautiful tributary of the River of Life ran next to the engraved path. The birds of Heaven were singing. There were beautiful animals there. In one clearing, there was an entire grouping of stones together.
There were seven stones in all. Blossoming flowers formed a canopy over the stones. There was a dog there laying by the stones. The dog was licking one of the stones. When he noticed the angel, he ran over to greet him. The angel smiled and laughed.
Angel: “Okay, okay, your prayers are being answered. Don’t worry.”
The dog then went back and began to lick one of the stones again.
Me: “What is the dog doing over there?”
Angel: “That is the family that the dog had belonged to. He is still loyal to them. Because one of the family members is ill, he licks the stone to pray.”
Me: “I had no idea that these things happened in Heaven.”
Angel: “Erin, Heaven intercedes. I have an analogy for you. Let’s say that your husband, sons or daughters were going off to war and you knew nothing of their station in the battle as soldiers. What would you do?”
Me: “I would go to battle in prayers and supplications. I would make declarations and pronounce victories in advance. I would not cease doing so.”
Angel: “Very good. In a similar way, the power of prayer in Heaven is as it is on Earth, but without barriers for those praying here in Heaven. Now, this is a busy garden. However, for your entry here as you are of the Earth, you cannot see those who have gone before you unless it is from a great distance as you are unable to communicate with the dead.
“Now, this garden is open day and night and never sleeps. It changes with the seasons yet is never uncomfortable. There are cries out to God here. Even pets once on Earth cry out to God for help, justice and protection. There are interceders for all here.”
Me: “This is all such a wonderful mystery! How glorious!”
Angel: “Yes. However, there is even more to this. Erin, at the break of dawn every morning, God walks here with the angels. It is powerful and wonderful.”
Me: Crying. “God walks amongst the living?”
Angel: “Of course. Now come, I have something to show you.”
The angel took me to a clearing by a small pond with fountains. There were benches set up there, each with an incredible view of the Valley of God. It was so beautiful and vast. There were flowers and a small meadow area with fruit trees.
I saw a stone there that was made of granite. It looked like a pillar and had N S E W engraved on it like a compass. The sides also had some beautiful verses of my favorite Scriptures. The column ended and was set in a plinth of stone. The top of the area had gold and silver.
Angel: “When the sun rises or sets, at mid-morning or even afternoon, the light is reflective in all directions from the Light of God. There are several of these in the garden and are perfectly set to reflect God’s Goodness. Now, look over here…”
I looked down where he was pointing. I could see my name chiseled in the stone. I saw the names of some of my family. I also saw many names that I didn’t recognize.
Me: “What is this?”
Angel: “This represents a body of warriors together as one under God. This is a beautiful place of singing and worship. Erin, one day very soon, all of this will be free from names as it will instead represent God and His Journey. It will be a wonderous Garden of the Miracles of God and His Glory.
“As you will all reside here, there will no longer be any need for your prayers. Instead, it will be remembered as a Monument of the Power of God and His Reign. Erin, on Earth as it is in Heaven. It will be a Great Garden of worship and joy, discovery and fulfillment. It will never cease to be a place of great wonder and everlasting gratitude for the citizens here.”
Me: “Wow, I cannot wait.”
Just then, I heard a horse behind me. I turned and it was Jesus. He looked into my eyes and smiled. My heart skipped a beat in excitement as I was so happy to see Him in person again. He was in the attire of The King. His Robe was purple and His Crown had spires of gold and jewels.
He dismounted His horse and came up to me. He had a beautiful smile, tan skin and eyes of blue green. Truly, I have never seen any man as handsome, in Heaven or on Earth, than Jesus. He was strong and mighty. Tears streamed from my eyes. The angel took the horse over to drink water from the stream.
Jesus: Smiling. “Erin, it is so good to see you.”
He reached for my hand and took me over to a bench overlooking the beautiful valley.
Jesus: “Come and sit over here on My right side.”
I did as He told me. I was speechless as I studied Him. I missed His physical presence. It felt so good, like nothing on Earth can come close to. He is truly our everything and nothing compares to Him.
Me: “Oh Lord, I missed seeing You in person. While I hear Your Voice, I missed seeing You in person.”
Jesus: “This is why I came today. This is an important day. You needed to see Me as I am. I am King over all of the Earth.”
Me: “Heaven too, Lord, right?”
Jesus: “My Father is in Heaven and He has given Me charge over the Earth. My Father God is seated on the Throne and I am His Son. I am the Living God. It is difficult to understand fully what all of this means until one day it will all come to light. Put another way, until one day it is brought forth like the dawn breaking over the horizon.
“There is so much more that you cannot see and do not have understanding of until I illuminate this through My Word. My Word is a living breathing testament to life abundant and is eternal. Those who understand this then search for this truth. The wisdom and knowledge they then gain is God-breathed by My Spirit.
“Now, I gave you the dream last night of a memorial stone with your name on it, amongst others, and you thought ‘oh no, am I set to die soon?’. Am I correct?”
Me: “Yes, Lord… You are always correct. However, You then spoke to me and said ‘No, Erin, come to Me. I have something to share with you.’”
Jesus: “In doing so, you sought Me with your whole heart. What you feared I would show you instead became something different. I met you here instead. I gave you a gift to remind you that you are more alive than ever. Erin, I am found by you. Now come and let Me show you what these different stones are from your dream.”
He stood up and reached for my hand. He waved at the angel and the angel smiled and waved back at us. Instantly, we were at the cemetery from the beginning of this dream. This was outside the Garden of God. Jesus then showed me some stones that had been rejected. They were jagged and not plumbed.
Jesus: “While I tried to work with these, they were difficult to shape. They fought Me. As this was a struggle, I placed them here for now.”
Me: “They are white and actually pretty cool looking. Some are marble.”
Jesus: “Well, they are grooved and pitted. This makes it not easy to smooth out. They are rough. While they will one day be useful, they live at the outside of the gate for now. They are Mine. They have to be brought through some major resurfacing. This is for later. Now, look at these here…”
He pointed to some fat round boulders.
Jesus: “These are great barrier stones to prevent people from entering in at all. Many sit on these and enjoy their lunches. These are immovable boulders. They are puffed up and full of themselves. They represent the love of the world and serve Mammon. They are comfortable with their surroundings. One day, I will toss them over My shoulder and into the sea. They can then petition Me from there. Then there are these…”
He pointed to a massive pile of grey rocks. They seemed to be sedimentary. There were also some rocks with many holes, something like lava rocks.
Jesus: “The grey ones break apart and the lava rocks serve as loofas for stripping off surfaces. None of these are useful. They were never Mine. They belong here and will go into the fire one day as they are not useful to My purposes. They were only useful as stones to throw. I have condemned them to being ‘judgment stones’.”
Me: “I had no idea rocks served any purpose at all here. I guess I never considered them… well, until now, thanks to You.”
Jesus: “Well, the Stone the builders rejected is the Capstone or Keystone. If a builder rejects the Keystone, what has he done?”
Me: “Well, a Keystone holds the archway of stones together. It is the crowning piece. If it is removed, the rest have no stability. They will fall and crash. So too will the building, or at least that wall. Now, what about the Cornerstone?”
Jesus: “This too is equally important as this is the stone between two adjacent walls and keeps them stable to the foundation. It is the largest and most sturdy of all of the stones.”
Me: “By Your Word, Lord… ‘See I lay a stone in Zion a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation, the one who trusts will never be dismayed. I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumbline (Isaiah 28:16-17).’ Lord, You are our Headstone. However, You are also the Builder of Your Church. Your Stone is beautiful, jeweled and perfect to all whose hope is in You. However, to many others, you were and are a stumbling stone of judgment.”
Jesus: “Very good. You received a great lesson today on stones. Thereby you also understand that the various stones I have shown you are not useful here. In fact, of that pile over there, they are useful for throwing or skipping. They have been used as a form of pain and judgment against My people. However, I have rejected them as they were never Mine and are great for tossing.”
Me: With humorous exaggeration. “Hmm, judging stones… Hmph!”
Jesus: Smiling and laughing. “Well, I can’t use them to build upon. I can only use them for tearing down.”
Me: “What will happen with the rest of these? Like these white ones?”
Jesus: “Well, they have some tough times ahead of them. Because they reject and fight anything beneficial, their final purpose will be a great one, just not an easy time is in store. They did not allow Me to work on them. This means they will now be subject to the world and what is to come and will be apart from Me. However, I will show them what they can be if they endure. They will then see you and these both plumbed and chiseled.”
Me: “Well, Lord, I am so sorry that I fought You in the past. I was a puffed up big round stone of the world. I was one of those immovable rocks.”
Jesus: “No, Erin. While you were tough at first, you were also searching and hopeful to be of use to Me. You didn’t pick up judgment stones to throw or play superiority games against the broken. You didn’t think yourself a jewel like a star higher than God. You did none of this. While it wasn’t always easy to work on you, I saw what you would become from the beginning.
“Like a Sculptor inspired by a large rock, He sees below the surface at what shape it will become. As for the rock, he does not see below the surface. He thinks of himself as a mere stone, a stone void of use. As for the stone slab, he doesn’t try to rebel against the Sculptor. He doesn’t say ‘I’ll just throw myself on you and dash you to pieces to show my strength.’ The stone slab knows that he cannot be made beautiful without Me. The stone slab then submits.”
Me: Laughing. “You are funny, Lord!”
Jesus: “Well, you laugh, but how many have hearts of stone who think they are greater than God. They would certainly like nothing more than to make a slab tombstone for the children of God.”
Me: “You are right, Lord. There are so many now with a heart of stone. Oh Lord, please help us! Help us to stand against all of these. Without You, we are helpless.”
Jesus: “Well then, it is a relief that I am with you in this battle. Now, do not worry. I am over all things. I am the Keystone, the Capstone, the Cornerstone and the Largest Stone. Through those I have called will My Greatest Temple be established. Now, Erin, rejoice. I am here and I am with you. You are a jewel in My Crown. Rejoice for I will soon use you to leave no stone unturned.”
He smiled and hugged me. I never wanted to let go of Him. It felt so good to have the Greatest Hugger hugging me. All I can say is that this is an experience worth waiting for! He is worthy of ALL of our praises!
Dream over…
