Again I was summoned. Like always I walked the steps with the angel, took my seat and waited. It gives me so much pleasure watching the people smiling, laughing and greeting each other, the children playing. It's all so beautiful. From the midst of the people I see someone approaching me. When he gets close enough, he spoke, “My brother, my brother, it's good to see you again!” Of course it was the Apostle Paul. He seemed anxious to come closer and visit with me. He embraced me and said, “Let’s talk, let's just have a seat, eye to eye.” Ruben: But you know, these people see what we do. Apostle Paul said, “Tell your friends I appreciate what they are doing. It's all about being obedient. It's not about having talent. Because my Master says, ‘if you are ashamed of Me then you are ashamed of My Father.’ So this is part of how we connect. It's just what you have to go through in life as a test. We all have to go through tests in order to see where we are at and if God can trust us to go to the next level. If we will be obedient just in the simple little thing. Yes, just for the simple little thing. So just thank them for me because I appreciate that they were listening, they were hearing. That's what counts. True friends are hard to come by.
“Now, I would like you all to start reading Matthew 24, the whole chapter. Sometimes you are going to have to read it twice. But let it speak to your heart. There are those who are talking about the end coming, those prophesying about the time. No one knows the time, only the Father. But let it speak to your spirit, to your mind. Let it speak into your life, because other people are going to ask you, ‘give me your input about what is going on in the atmosphere (world).’ Apostle Paul said, “I do tell you this, that no man knows the time. Only the Father. But you will see what has been spoken in the Bible. That's a prophecy. We have to go through these in order for the other to come to pass. So you stay strong. You walk with your head up in all these trials and tribulations. This will also speak into your life and into your walk. If you have to you take your time, you shut everything off and read it, and read it, and read it. Share this with everyone, but let it speak into you. Thank you again for being obedient. Do not short yourself in your gifts. Just be strong. I will see you again my brother.”
Ruben comments: at times, because of what is happening in the world, people will ask of us, ‘how close are you with God—do you know of His return?’ How about just enjoying what we are hearing, what is feeding you in your heart and spirit, and not be worrying about the time. We cannot change, we cannot speed up or slow down what is in the Bible. Yes, we all have questions. But if these men and women in Heaven don't know the time—because it's not revealed to them—
