Communion
Dear Father,
You are wonderful, marvelous and above anything on Earth. You are above the heavens and even Heaven itself. Nothing compares to You. You are over all of us. You determine our days. Our days are numbered on this Earth. No man can take our lives in an untimely manner as You alone determine when we are to pass from here. You already knew from the beginning how long out times would be here.
Father, we have been encouraged one minute and then discouraged the next. We experience more battles here because my husband and I share our home with our five children. Other than my husband’s daughter, all of our children are now in their 20s. It is heartbreaking to see my two sons try to navigate adulthood with such innocence. They are naïve and still are in a childlike state when viewing those around them.
It doesn’t occur to them that people could set out to deceive them. When they encounter a snare or trap, they are shocked. My younger son ran into some trouble recently with a purchase. He didn’t fully understand the long-term ramifications of it. He so wanted a reversal.
While we are still trying to help him cancel this, both of us believe he will be bound by it. He has been having trouble sleeping or eating as a result. He is having problems understanding why they just can’t be nice and reverse this purchase. Sadly, he fell victim to three successful tactics in selling…
- They fabricate reality.
- They create an urgency to commit.
- They then leave no room to revise it.
This is horrible to someone on the autism spectrum. This is what they go through…
- Excitement that they have been able to achieve a great opportunity.
- Being told to act now with time constraints scares them. They are frightened into believing that someone else will take what is theirs.
- Change comes and the old is removed. In comes the new. This is not the autistic way. To them, the old should remain even if it doesn’t work. For them, anything new takes time to adjust to.
Well, you can only imagine how traumatic the change has been. We have all accepted the reality of this situation except for my son. He still wants to try again to appeal to these salespeople to reverse the contract. We do not believe it is in their power to do so. While a difficult learning experience, it has been a good one, just sad. While we will help him make one last appeal tomorrow, any outcome is as per Your Will alone.
The enemy seeks to enslave Your people. Instead of freedom and blessings in this life, the enemy seeks confinement and poverty. It has happened before in history and it is rapidly approaching all of us again. While my son felt free, he now feels bound. This has actually brought us closer as he, for the first time, fully understands how this life is filled with troubles and snares of many kinds.
Blessed is the man whose debts are forgiven by the Father. How blessed are we that God forgives us our debts on this Earth and in Heaven. We are free, but only in Him. I remember when I was a single parent and I was forced to make some difficult choices between paying this bill or that one. In all, God is good. He cares for us and He loves us. Still, we see the enemy trying every tactic to remove all joy from us.
The power company finally came out to our house. The workers should be starting within the next few days, hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday. We are hoping this can be completed before the rains begin again. Father, please help us. Please let the workers divert our flooding away from our home quickly and with minimum expense. This is such an unknown for us. We are at Your mercy. In my dream last night…
Sub-Dream 1 “Preparing for the Grand Opening Party” begins…
I was young and my children were with me. We were at some distant resort somewhere. We had a very important event to attend. My children went ahead to the event, stopping to purchase new shoes at a resort shop. I met them there.
My older son: “What are you doing here? You are running late.”
Me: “You are right, I am running late.” I looked down and laughed as my attire clearly did not fit the venue. “Hmm, I need to go back to change as I am underdressed. You all go on ahead. I will meet you at the event party.”
I went back and found that my husband had already gone to the venue. I looked through all that I had and was struggling to find anything to wear. I had to stop at three different locations to find appropriate attire. One shop had undergarments, one had dresses and the last had a shawl and shoes. I was finally on my way.
When I arrived, I discovered that the door to the venue had been moved. I was directed to the back of an antiquities shop inside a museum. While the place had amazing items from history, I was focused on getting to where I was going. There was a note on the counter with my name on it. The shopkeeper handed me the note and I opened it…
“Erin, you are to gather more invitees to the event. You are the curator of the event. I love you and I am with you… God”
Me: Sighing. “Thank you.”
Shopkeeper: Noticing my sigh. “Is everything okay?”
Me: “I am not sure. I am now a curator. What is a curator?”
Shopkeeper: “Wait! What? You are the curator? This is huge. This means that you are the only paid worker. This is a big deal!”
Me: “Paid worker? I don’t understand.”
Shopkeeper: “You are responsible for acquisitions. You acquire artifacts for the Owner. You gather and purchase and bring everything back from the ends of the Earth to the Owner. You watch over all of it. You tell a story… His Story. This will all happen using what you find.”
Me: “But I am not trained for this. How will I travel to where I need to go? What am I gathering?”
Shopkeeper: “You will have assistance. This is an honor.”
Me: “I will miss my family. I was hoping to be where they are.”
Shopkeeper: “They are at the Grand Opening Party. There are so many who don’t know about the Owner. He is the One hosting the Party. The Grand Opening is here. He will quickly send you help. It is a great honor. You are in great hands.”
There was a greyish green door with light seeping through the wooden planks. I opened the door and stepped into the light.
Sub-Dream 1 over…
Father, this dream was very clear. However, I really missed everyone in it. I knew that I had a job to do and that it would be difficult. I am just so old and sick today that I can’t imagine any of this. However, I am relieved that my family is at the Grand Opening Party and that they are safe and happy.
I found a photo recently of my youngest son who is now 23 years old. He used to like to dress up for great adventures in costumes. He couldn’t speak when he was a toddler up until about six years old. He would motion with his hands and mumble. The photos captured a moment in my dreams.
Sub-Dream 2 “A Flashback to the Year 2000” begins…
It was the fall of the year 2000 in Portland OR. I lived in an apartment complex called the Frank Estate. My daughter was not born yet. We lived in a small townhome close to Shari’s Restaurant. On Saturday mornings, the boys and I would walk over to have breakfast. We would then go for a walk on some of the nearby trails.
We could not leave the house until my younger son had everything he needed for the adventure. He wore an empty backpack that was disguised as a frog. Around his neck were his racoon binoculars.
Younger son: “Carry me please.”
I reached over and picked him up. I smelled his cheek and it was literally his baby smell. In my other hand was my older son. We walked together down this small level concrete walking path.
Sub-Dream 2 over…
When I woke up from this dream, I felt I had been catapulted 22 years to this current time. I felt disoriented to my surroundings. I cried out to the Lord that time is cruel. We cannot reverse things to good days or moments. We can’t go back. This reminded me of the song “This is Home” by Switchfoot from 2008. These lyrics are so applicable to today and well worth looking up.
Me: “Father, I know that our Home is in Heaven. Please help me to understand what You are wanting me to do. While I know I can’t go back, I would sure love a few memories and a few do overs. I am tired now. Please come soon. I am aging at an accelerated rate now.”
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
He once again spoke to me while I sat in my devotional chair. His Voice was very clear.
Jesus: “Erin, I am here and I am with you. My Voice is in you. I understand the grief of your heart. I know the days you wanted to extend. Oh, if only I could show you all that I’ve done from the beginning to the end. If I did you would then understand. There will be a Great Day when you will be reunited in the place I prepared for you. Your cup of joy will be overflowing and there will be great reunions.
“There will be great reunions with those who have gone before you. This will include those you love and those who prayed for you. This will include those you have made a difference to and those you have yet to meet. I know that your years in this life are short and beautiful memories are fleeting. Things that are lovely fade away and those whom you love die.
“It was never meant to be this way, but death is the result of sin. In eternity, there is no death, only life. While there are seasons on Earth, these are beautiful and lasting in Heaven. There are always harvests. There are always flowers blooming and always new life. There are no shortcomings in Heaven. There are no disappointments nor are there deceptions. All things are Holy in Heaven.
“To each soul on Earth, I call out and meet. Your prayers and petitions create an open door for an invitation to meet Me at death’s door. There I hold the key to life and death. Those who reconcile to Me are delivered. Those who are not are turned away and their names removed from the Book of Life.
“Now, about your dream with the shopkeeper. I gave this dream to you to show that you will have more work to do. I am the Museum Owner in your dream. I will work through you to curate souls.”
Me: “For display?”
Jesus: “The dream I gave you did not mean you collect souls for display. You need to understand that you are like a Vessel. I pour into you and, in turn, you will exhibit awesome deeds. In your dream, you are young and healthy and your presence, My Glory, will bring others to seek Me. There, I will be found by them.
“You will gather the hearts of all those I call to you. I will then bring them Home, along with My angel armies. You will then be with Me to announce My coming when all come to where I am from the four corners of the Earth.”
Me: “Oh Lord, You are such a Great Mystery!”
Jesus: “Do not worry as I am with you. As you love your children and have a close relationship, so to do I, but an even greater one. I appointed you as the curator to your children and they will be with Me always. So too am I close to you. I love you and I will care for you in all things. I am your Provider, Healer, Comforter, Friend and much more.
“I still remember you as a toddler as well, a time when you were in all your wonderment. I remember every detail and nothing is lost. Be encouraged today. Do not be afraid or mournful over times, seasons and events that seem to pass quickly. All these things must occur to prepare the fields of the Earth for the planting of My Splendor.”
Me: “When will this be?”
Jesus: “The Greatest Harvest the world has ever known is soon to begin. My angel armies are on standby. I prepare the regiments of My chosen reservists. The horns will sound and the harvesting will commence.”
Me: “Thank You, Lord!”
Jesus: “Rejoice and pray, Erin. This will soon be a time and times like no other in ‘His’-story!”
