Ruben opened wearing his prayer shawl and praying in the Spirit. Then shared:
I was tapped on the shoulder again last night and with great joy I heard the angel say, “You’re summoned.” I was ready to go, full of joy and excitement knowing that I was going back to Heaven. Not knowing what to expect but knowing I would get to smell the aroma that always comes from the heavens; the ocean, oil, flowers and herbs, an ointment that all comes together. You can’t explain it, you can get close but never put it together because it is as sacred as Heaven. As we walk the steps the angel is reading my mind while I share, and he acknowledges by looking at me. And I couldn’t stop talking because of the joy of what’s going to happen, what’s going to be received! So we arrive. I’m smelling the aroma and I’m silent trying to breathe it all in. The angel says, “You know the routine, here’s your bench, let me help you with your robe, and I will see you again.”
I gladly step onto the bench so I can look around and it never changes. It seems like you would get tired of seeing this, but no, I never get tired of seeing the people all embracing each other; and not just a hug but with a holy kiss! That’s what I see all the way around as I turn. To my right are the children, how blessed they are! Talking, laughing and playing together, but embracing each other as well. I look to the left and don’t see anything, but as I look to the children again a breeze comes forth, but in the breeze I know, or sense the aroma—it’s an angel! He says to me, “Now you’re figuring out who I am, Gabriel the Angel.
“Sit with me—no, instead, walk with me. Let’s walk, and let me continue to finish the story about a child. A child that came from nowhere but the heavens. How could that be? That can’t happen—only through a miracle, perhaps? Or could it be Abba, the Father could do all this? We knew. As angels we knew. But this child grows up to be a teenager, then an adult, and has experiences that prepare Him for what He will endure. His mindset, His heart, His spirit, His soul. To be tested left and right! To where Lucifer met Him on a mountain where he tried to bribe Him. But, as I and all the angels and Michael know, how Lucifer was one of us. But he wanted something different, something for himself. He wanted to change things around—he was thinking only of himself. Like so many men and women in the earth. They want to rule themselves, with ugliness and evil—corrupt! You have some men like that who have envy, are jealous, determined to be who and what they are—evil!
“Even now, as we see from Heaven, you have people like that right now that want to rule themselves and are corrupt. There are certain names that could describe these men and women—they have allowed themselves to be as Jezebel, as evil as they could ever be. They even had friends they were raised with but were separated because of their differences. One believed, the other didn’t. And even now you have people trying to rule your world that are corrupted! As they look to themselves to see what more can they get out of the world, out of people! Oh, there are so many names they could be called that would fit them; names of evil!
“But we go back to this great man that was chosen to lead the way for my Master, John the Baptist. John the Baptist had his own way that he had to pursue—alone, all alone! But he was led by the Holy Spirit. All alone. Until he saw my Master from a distance. Even if He had met with John the Baptist for an hour or so—that was the last time He would see him. But to endure, my Master had to set His mind to the will of Abba. We could see, from a distance, the evil and what was going to be ahead for Him, for my Master—we could see! We, as angels, wished we could direct Him the other way so He wouldn’t have to face that—but it was something that He had to pursue. Just like all of you! In order to be successful you have to go through hard times to reach your goal, your destiny. Then when He read the scroll that He could say ‘it is finished,’ people could not understand because His own people rejected Him and stoned Him! But then He began drawing disciples for a journey.
“Disciples—disciples that weren’t too sure, could not understand Him, but could not let go; they were drawn to His Presence! That’s why they couldn’t step away, they were drawn to His Presence! If you could understand His Presence, and if you could grasp and endure His Presence you would never leave. The disciples never could. Once they heard His voice, once they saw His face, once my Master spoke to them one on one, they could not move backwards! They were in awe! They left everything behind! They went by faith, faced the wall, that’s what they did. And He picked disciples as He was led by the Spirit: this one, this one, that one, this one. They all had their different trades, and some that couldn’t believe—they had to see to believe. But in the Presence of my Master there is no doubt! Even on the sea. They said, ‘how could this human have so much authority that He could demand the storm and the sea to be calm—where does this come from?’ That this child grew to become a Man Who walked on water to save one of His own? We could never understand that could we? Could we grasp that—that in His Presence, His Presence alone—?
“And as they traveled from village to village and town to town to share, and to feed a multitude of people with fish and bread—how could this child become a Man to speak to baskets of fish and bread to multiply? His own disciples could not understand or realize what was happening! There was food for so many people! These are the things we see in Heaven! These are the things we get to experience and we dance and rejoice! As angels we would never leave His Presence, but we could not interfere. As my Master tries to have someone to pray with, His disciples fall asleep. But He cries aloud, “Abba!” That was His strength! How can this child become a Man to speak with great authority? Great boldness to speak clearly, to cast demons from humans? And how can this child become a Man to speak to a person who had been dead three or four days, that had become His friend? He spoke his name and he came forth from a tomb! His name! That’s all He spoke! Anything else and all who were in tombs in that mountain would have come forth! We praised Him and flapped our wings! But humans were terrified at what they saw.
“There’s still so much to share, so much. Little details that need to be fit in. Our Master, what He has faced, what He knows, and what we understand; but I wonder if humans understand? Because when the day came He was betrayed and arrested—oh, yes, in the world, and even in the church—you call yourselves ‘the church,’ you’ll find people that will betray you! Not understanding! Not understanding, but they will betray you! We see that day in and day out, what you do to each other. And you call yourselves Christians! My Master was arrested and we could not do anything! We could not understand what was happening, but we were prepared for whatever was to come when they passed judgement on my Master. For they had no jurisdiction/authority to rule over my Master.
“See, Lucifer thought he could punish Him, take His life, and he’d still be the ruler. But that all came to change. My Master did it all by Himself! And when they brought my Master to be sentenced, to be judged; then the Romans, the people, the world, had their way with Him. All we could do was ask in despair, ‘what’s happening? How could this be?’ And as they had their way with His body, His face—every time they swung the whip it was like it went through our wings! Every drop of Blood we wished we could reach down and pick it up! Michael was furious because he was the same as us, he could not do anything! But he was hoping that our Master would speak to Abba—to give the okay—we were ready! Ready to go into the world and destroy to save our Master! What cruelty, this child that became a Man; what the world did to this Man! How they spit upon Him! How they decided to make a crown of thorns and put it on His head—not just put it lightly—they shoved it into His head! They pressed it on His head so the thorns went into His forehead and all around His head! And then they made Him carry a cross after His body was abused! He took it with one breath at a time, then another breath, another breath—and we could not interfere! We were bound! Until my Master fell and couldn’t walk. So they found someone else to carry it for Him until they brought Him to a hill with two others. He was already abused but now they had to put spikes into His wrists, then into His feet after they put them together.
“Where were the disciples? Scattered! All but one that we saw with His mother and another lady called Mary Magdalene as they came together. And the Romans were just talking among themselves when my Master asked for a drink of water. Instead they gave Him a sponge! More cruelty! They decided to slash His body again not knowing that by doing that His Blood came out and splashed on the ground—forgiveness! Even then my Master didn’t want to die! He wanted to live like anybody else. But He had a destiny. A destiny He had to fulfill. Fulfill because He would be Ruler. King of all kings—no other Name but His! And then His cry went to the heavens that said, ‘Father with this last breath, unto You——‘
“What is the purpose of what He had to go through, what He suffered? Even then there were rumors about His resurrection. So they put Him in a tomb, but that still had to be fulfilled. My Master saw hell because He had to go through hell for all the people in the world! He conquered! By that He conquered, He came back with something—the keys of hell! Now, He sits on the right hand side of Abba! And my Master says that, hopefully, only one thing the people of the world read or understand, that my Master will return into the earth! What day, when, what hour, we don’t know. But look what is happening in the world now—Someday! But, even now, all the angels of Heaven dance and praise! We worship, we give glory and honor to our Master! But when He does come back to the world we will be by His side! By His side! Victory is His call! Once and for all!
“Now my friend, go. Share this wonderful story about a young child becoming a teenager, becoming an adult. What He has done to change this world. He only had a season. We all have a season. But to live, to live for Him—it’s an honor! Know that we get to see all over the world. Hold onto the Word! Hold onto His Name—Yeshua! I will see you again.”
