Ruben: First of all I would like to just open this up with prayer and see where it takes us. So, Father, I thank You for this opportunity, and for the privilege of The Journey. Let it continue to be stronger and stronger and fill our souls, spirits, and hearts. Let us have more hunger, more joy, more life and more zeal till we don’t know how to stop, we just want more and more, to increase Lord. Because it’s there Lord, and the more we try to pursue it the more the windows of Heaven open from the East to the West and the North and South. Because of our desire and, yes, because of our mind—we have the mind of Christ, and we are obedient. And a great man of God said, ‘Have you learned to love,’ that we need to put to practice. Let us continue to encourage each other to pray for Israel and Jerusalem. Remind us Lord. And I ask in Your precious name. Amen.
I was summoned last night, and I knew without a doubt the touch of the Angel as he said, “You’re summoned.” I leaped and we began walking the steps with me beside, not behind, the Angel like before. I try to look up to see him and talk to him. I asked him, “I don’t know if you’re allowed to talk but I’d sure like to know who you are—I’d sure like to know your name. I feel like I know you—and your gentle touch on my shoulder—I know it’s you. That’s one of my wishes, to know who you are.” He just looked down at me without saying anything. By then the aroma was getting stronger, and it’s so anointed! You want to find out where it’s coming from but you can’t because it’s just in the atmosphere. The Angel said, “Here’s your bench, wait and someone will be with you.” I take a moment to just soak everything in and suddenly I see this beautiful huge rainbow, and it’s not even raining! But it’s God’s symbol. It seemed huge because I was so close to it. The people are waving to greet me and I wave back at them. Then I turn to see the children and they’re playing hop-scotch, taking turns, laughing and having so much fun. From the midst of the crowd I saw someone approaching so I sat down to get ready for who was coming forth. He stood before me, smiled and said, “You’re still trying to figure me out. Let me shake your hand, it’s good to see you brother again, it’s been a while.” And then I knew by his voice who he was; the Apostle Paul.
He just looked at me and grinned and told me, “Back in the day when I lived on earth I didn’t smile. It was the way I was born and lived, and I am not afraid to say it—I was a heathen. And I had so much bitterness toward Christian people. But this (Heaven) is what I have been blessed with, and one of the things that I ask you to tell your friends is to stay focused on the Word of God. Sometimes we might not get the answer we want, but who knows better: you, your family, or God? What are you asking? Ask yourself that. Stay focused on the Word. There is so much to read—so much to grasp, and so much to understand. The Journey that you go through is a tremendous, beautiful Journey. A blessed Journey. A love Journey. A joy Journey. But like everybody else, you will go through some hardships, but you can overcome. Even your friends, brothers and sisters in Christ, they will be overcomers. Overcomers. No doubt about it. Stop and think about this. To help you I would like for you to read:
Psalm 18
Psalm 19
1 Peter 1
Psalm 96
Psalm 119.
“Let these chapters, Scriptures and words fill you with gladness. Let them soak into your spirit. We all need it, but you have to realize that there are other people you need to continue to pray for. Let this Word of God strengthen you so that you can be stronger and stronger to pray and pray. And let’s not forget Israel. Let us not forget Jerusalem; it is very, very crucial. Let your friends know we are still listening, we are still seeing. Let them be blessed with all this in The Journey, and more to come.
“My brother, it is good to speak with you. Let me embrace you like always. Without the embrace we’re empty. Without the embrace you feel like there’s no connection, no love. Picture this, if you see someone in stress, or lonely, or confused and not understanding; what has the Word of God taught us? It’s to love. The Word of God tells us over and over to love ourselves so we can love others. My brother, it is a beautiful Journey. You’ll be blessed. You will see the results more and more as it goes forth. Remember, we are all with you and your friends, and those on the Journey—we are with them. Go in peace. Continue to walk with your head up, no matter what the cost is. I will see you another time.”
The reminder: pray for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem.🇮🇱
Ruben: This was a wonderful visit for me to see the Apostle Paul again, because I miss the connections. I miss his heart. You have no idea—what he was, but what he is now. A totally changed person—wow! Is he a blessed man? Absolutely! He has a lot to share.

So, today I decided to come home, laid down for a nap and I was summoned. It’s really neat because I needed it and I was refreshed. The Angel came, tapped me, said, “You’re summoned,” and it was so wonderful! I was excited to go with the Angel again and even though he doesn’t answer, I keep looking up and asking questions, like, “How was your day?” I kept looking up, he kept looking down at me; then, out of nowhere—maybe just a couple more steps to go, I glanced at him just as he looked down at me and—he smiled! Wow! Wow! I was so excited and happy I forgot I was summoned! Then here comes the aroma hitting me again and it brought me back to the purpose. I was so focused on the Angel’s smile, but the purpose was, I was summoned. Then the Angel said, “You know the routine, there’s your bench, someone will be with you.” So I began to just draw in the aroma when suddenly four hummingbirds appeared all lined up right in front of me just looking at me! Oh my gosh! I was afraid to make a move or twitch! I’ve seen them before on earth, but at a distance, not like this, and their colors—just beautiful! So I see the people waving at me and I wave back, real gently because of the hummingbirds. But I saw that someone was coming toward me and the birds left. I still had time to see the children though and hear them. I heard one say, “freeze tag,” and that brought memories back—freeze tag, really? The person was getting closer and closer, so I started getting my thoughts together. I couldn’t tell who it was, but I knew it was a woman. As soon as she was close enough she said, “You’re trying to figure out who I am.” I said, yes. She said, “It’s been a while, but it’s okay, it’s good to see you. Let’s sit and let me look at you one more time. She looked into my eyes and said, “Honest true, it’s not changed, there’s still something there that is very crucial, and I see it. Your time will come when you will know what this is. But it’s all good. This is what we do is hear, and try to motivate a lot of people, like I did when I was in the world. And by the way, I am Fuchsia Pickett.
“The Journey that you are going through is one of a kind. Do not give up hope because people will come around and you will see the results in the time it is supposed to be—not your time or our time, but the time of God. You’ll see. Be patient, like we had to be. This Journey is wonderful—like I said before, it is one of a kind. You hear stories about people who have seen Heaven. They have seen it, but not like what you have experienced talking with us. And this is why it is so different. This is why we must try to help you and your friends in this wonderful Journey. Because everyone needs it. In ministry sometimes it gets so hard. In the ministry you have your own flock, and they will criticize you. There are no answers, but to focus on the Word of God. He is the Way and the only Way. There is no other way. He makes the impossible possible. All things we can do in Christ.
“So, I want to thank you, and thank your friend, without him none of this would have happened, and you know who I’m talking about.* It is an honor, a privilege for us to continue to share more ministry from time to time. Do not take this lightly, because if not for your friend and brother none of this would be. What an opportunity from Heaven. And look at you now—look at your friends now—wow! Remember, we can hear. We can see. Yes. It is up to you and them how to keep your joy. How to keep on praying. How to keep on laughing. How to keep on loving. Protect yourself. Guard yourself. Use wisdom. And with all my heart I just want to be able to share with you and help you on your Journey with your friends. I have some Scriptures I want you to read:
Matthew 3 and 4
Revelation 5
Luke 12
Luke 4.
“Let this help you in your walk. There will be ups and downs and you have to hold your head up because it is a must. I know that we all have struggles, but you must fight the fight. I heard from a good man of God as we were visiting one time, he said that God told him, ‘Have you learned how to love?’ And you’ve met him. He’s a wonderful man isn’t he? Like I said, we can see these things. We can hear these things. Now, go in peace. We will see each other again. It is a wonderful Journey. Everyone must join in the best way they can—it will change their lives. Let me embrace you, give you part of what I have, because you need it, your friends need it. I will see you again.”
Ruben: She was so humble and kind, full of joy. It’s hard for me to really focus when these women share because of their hair—it’s beautiful, and it glows—wow! And it shines like an Arabian horse. Because of grace, and there’s an assignment, I must hear. It’s a gift that I can soak everything in. Even in the visits where I have two brothers side by side, I have to focus on what I hear. What a Journey!
