Ruben shares his testimony and gives some background of his lack of education, and his questions to God of, ‘why me’?
He recalls that Enoch told him to always make himself available to God. To listen to God when He wants to fellowship and share with him.
He describes how he is summoned. How the angel takes him into Heaven. What he sees while he waits for the person that will visit with him.
He describes the aromas, and how the aromas increase when the Angels Gabriel and Michael visit with him. The aromas linger on Ruben up to 24 hours and are noticed by other people.
Now he shares: I was summoned last night again. Walked behind the angel, counting the steps. I take my seat to wait and look around at the people and scenery. Then I see someone coming from the midst of the people toward me. He says, “It is good to see you my brother. I yearned to speak with you.” By his voice I knew it was the Apostle Paul.
He says to me, “Have a seat, let's talk. What I have to share with you is about keeping your head up. Remember to understand it won't be easy. Just like all of us, we had to go here and there and be persecuted and not received. But you have to believe and you'll understand. I want you to be strong, acknowledge Who is your strength. Who you believe. Who walks with you and talks with you. I want you to give your friends this to read, to let it speak into their spirit and heart. Have them read Philippians chapter 4, and let it soak in. Then to read Hebrews chapters 12 - 13. Let it feed them, speak into their spirit, soul and mind. This is a wonderful journey. This will strengthen and lift you up as you come together. It is an honor for me to be able to share these things with you and your friends. So, I will also say to you, my Father in Heaven yearns for people in the world to pray for Israel. Keep that in mind in your prayers. I will see you again.”
Scriptures: Philippians 4. Hebrews 12 - 13
Pray for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122: 6-9.
