Well, He did it again, this time out of absolutely NO WHERE!!
Let me share a little background, then I will get what I know you really want to hear about. A few months ago, my wife got us these cool headbands that have bluetooth speakers built into them. I am often laying down to sleep while she is still up, so this allows her to listen to the TV or stuff on her phone without bothering me and I turn on instrumental worship music that plays through mine usually all. I mention that to set the stage for this encounter on the other side. I had literally just turned on my music and turned over to try to go to sleep with the images started coming. I have tried and tried to discount these encounters as my imagination, but there is just something too vivid and REAL about them for that to be all that they are. That I am still not entirely sure of the Lord’s purpose in allowing me to see what He has other than as reassurance to me and all how have the opportunity to read these messages that when He said, “I go to prepare a place for you,” that is exactly what He did. Anyway, let’s cross the veil –
I was very tired last night, but had stayed up watching a program on TV with my watch because we have not had much time together the rest of the week. When I did roll over to go to sleep, I was not prepared for what would happen next. It seemed like as soon as I rolled over and closed my eyes, I saw and heard the leaves and branches swaying in unison with the melody of the music that I was hearing on this side of the veil. I can’t tell you what kind of trees that they were other than that they were huge, I am guessing some as tall as 50 feet to their very tops, but creating a canopy all around about 15-20 feet off of the ground. Each one with various shades of the greenest of green leaves. As mentioned, as the gentle breeze of the wind blew them, they almost sang. As my eyes came down to ground level, there was a narrow path that wove to and fro through the trees and amongst flowers that stood in various heights from just above the surface of the ground to almost waist high. Similar to previous visits, the flowers were of all kinds of shapes and textures. And the colors, breathtakingly beautiful. Sharp and vivid, and the way some of the colors were mixed together, WOW. This one in particular looked similar to a rose or carnation and the mixture of reds, oranges and yellows literally made it look like it was on fire, especially with the gentle breeze blowing through it was like it was literally ablaze. Speaking of the flowers, the layers upon layers of smells they produced, would say they were overpowering, but they were gentle and subtle yet very distinct and so soothing. I can’t even find the words to describe how they were all so distinctly different from one another, yet all together was simply stunning. Again it was like the whole scene was an orchestra declaring playing the most beautiful sounds that I have never heard before.
As I walked, I am assuming that the Holy Spirit was my companion this time as I could sense the sweet peace and dare I say heaviness of His presence, but I did not actually see Him. However as I walked, an observation came to mind, ”This looks like it could be “THE Garden” (As in the Garden of Eden).
As soon as I had the thought, without actually hearing a word, I received a response the same way, “That is exactly what this is.” I just stopped, overwhelmed and in Awe. I literally was standing in “THE GARDEN.” As I stood there momentarily, my heart also heard this, “This is what it was always supposed to be like.” When we read about God walking with Adam and Eve in the Garden, this is what it meant, they walked and talked and enjoyed the creation as friends, not as creator and creation.
I’m not sure of how or exactly when I crossed back over, but two other revelations came to me as I lay there on this side
- When we read Genesis 2 and the creation of woman, there is no identifiable amount of time between when that occurred and when they took and ate the forbidden fruit. In other words, we have absolutely no idea how long they continued in the state of complete bliss in paradise.
- Also, as actually documented in Genesis 3:6, Adam was WITH Eve at the time that she was talking to the serpent prior to them eating the fruit. She did NOT eat and then bring it to him so that he ate unknowingly. He could have said or done something to intervene.
