Ruben began by praying quietly in the Spirit, wearing his Tallit as always. Then prayed; we thank You Father for today, another beautiful day. A day of life, a day of challenges; a day of being strong, to acknowledge You, day and night . Thank You, Father. We give You all the glory.
It was another day when in my sleep I felt something touch me on my shoulder. I know that touch, and it was gentle. It's hard to explain the feeling of being touched by an angel. So he touched my shoulder and said, "You're summoned," and again my spirit leaps with joy because I'm going into the heavens. In our minds Heaven seems far, far away, but with the presence of the angel you can sense, you can see. Therefore before you know it you're smelling the aroma that draws you in, the fragrance of roses, honeysuckle, and even honey and an ocean breeze all together that just wraps around you. So the angel says, "You know the routine, let me help you with your robe and someone will be with you."
I always stand on my bench to see all that I'm allowed to see. It's always different people but all greeting one another with an embrace and holy kiss on the cheek with grace and love. That never changes and it's all around me as far as I can see. To my right the children are greeting each other the same way, laughing and giggling as they play with so much joy and peace. What a sight to see!
Then I see someone approaching on my left and suddenly he's right next to me. "How are you doing my brother? Let's sit down. I know you haven't forgotten about me." Well, I'm trying to remember who this is. He says, "It will come to you. Let me share with you my brother, I'm John Paul Jackson if that helps refresh your memory.
"These things that are happening in the earth, we are still praying for each individual to be aware that all these plagues that are happening are caused by evil men. The enemy (Satan) is using them to corrupt things in the world, and it's necessary for us to stand firm, to continue to search and believe what we (prophets) have prophesied. Because I prophesied this about plagues, and truly these men continue to come up with them out of nowhere. So as you come together, hold hands together to pray, pray about this as you bind it all together by Scripture; the evil things that we see and hear, how evil men and women are trying to manipulate everything.
"So you must continue to stand and be strong with one another. Continue to read, study and search, but be strong. Continue to lift your head up, not down! You're not defeated! It may seem like it but you're not defeated. A true believer and a true warrior is ready for battle. Did you think it was going to be easy? Just accept Christ and move on? There are things that you have to go through, things that you have to learn in order to gain strength. To gain the mind of the Master and Holy Spirit; with love, joy, kindness, discernment. So that we know how to do battle and are always ready to do battle.
"Stand your ground! Stand your ground and continue to overcome. As you come together you will understand that unity makes us stronger than we could ever be on our own. I know there's some brothers and sisters from other churches that don't think they need it. Well, go figure, right? How can we say that we love, how can we say that we are true Christians when we can't look at each other and pray with one another? Is one greater than the other? No. Then, that's what we need to know. So all of this has to end with ourself, and we must stay focused in the unity of the mind of my Master and your Master.
"Maybe we read the Bible just to read. Have we ever asked the Father to clear our mind to receive, and to apply the Word into our heart and spirit and soul? There was a prophet who said things that we need to take into our hearts. But there was an Apostle, John. John spoke plainly to the Master that he was more interested in learning and reading, applying it into his heart, so it would stay in his heart day and night. That's the Word and it is true. So let us continue to lift our heart up in prayer and acknowledge the Father. He will not abandon us, He never will! But these plagues that are yet to come because of evil people, we need to stand even stronger on the Word in faith and come against it. We cannot let the enemy have victory. We need to defeat what is wrong. We need to defeat what they have planned to do.
"We in Heaven are praying for all of you as we come together. But always try to love each other even as you love yourself. You have the mind of Christ, but you also have the mind of the Father and the Holy Spirit. Come together as one to read the Word and share what you feel and are getting out of it, so that the other brother or sister can relate. Then understanding opens up more and the Presence gets stronger because you have welcomed Holy Spirit into the atmosphere.
"So my brother, share this with my Father's people. Remember, how we here continue to pray because you all need it. Continue to pray for Israel. Israel is the heart of the Father. How can we defeat the enemy and have victory? By standing firm. Remember we also need to focus on our gifts. We need the gifts of the body to move forward. It is coming that those who move in the gift of the apostolic will grow even stronger. The apostolic must come forth. It must take place. Moving in the apostolic, a powerful ministry.
"There are some that can prophecy, some that can teach, some that can move in the Spirit, some that move in discernment, wisdom, compassion; everyone has a portion of the gifts. Because I know what I see, what I understand, that there are so many people who can interpret dreams and visions, they move in that gift.
"Now brother, go. Let me embrace you. Share this with my Father's people. Be blessed and I will see you again."
