If you are a regular here at this website (or a friend on MySpace.com) you will have read that the Lord sent me first one pearl, then another pearl (yes, literal actual PEARLS). On April 21st, 2007 He sent me yet ANOTHER pearl...pearl #3.
Here is how it happened:
(I apologize for the delay - the Lord had me take a picture of this one (as I found it in the dirt) with my cellphone, but I'm not often in a place that has infrared picture transfer)...
ANYWAY...I was out on my front porch - it was April 21st, 2007. I was reading "There Were Two Trees In The Garden" (which I am still reading and have been reading since March - no it is not a long book, but ALL of my steps are ordered by the Lord. When we do things in His perfect order, the days we read and do not read, then read again will always line up and He will continually speak to us and amaze us when we do things in His timing).
When I first sat down I looked to my left under the big tree outside my window - this is where I toss bird seed during the winter and I was checking to see if I needed to put out any more food. I checked the area quite thoroughly (I would have seen the pearl if it had been there - it was not). (8:09 P.M.)
This particular day He was specifically encouraging me that I am completely His...after a particularly rough attack by yet another who would try to stop that which the Lord has chosen for me to do. Truly I am humbled and honored to be attacked for His Glory...I am merely stating a truth that this particular event was extraordinarily rough and harsh.
He said, "The world will never be able to change you because your mind has been so transformed...you see with MY EYES...you hear with MY EARS...you understand with MY HEART. Truly My witness within you shall always be greater than all of the world's accusations and toments and pressures for I AM greater than the world!!!"
After He spoke this to me, He then said, "Look to your left again"...
I looked, and there was the third pearl (8:26 PM)
You should be able to distinguish it from amist bird seed hulls and brush debris...it's that round pearl-colored PEARL....
A brother in the Lord who has been a partner with this ministry for several years emailed me and said that he counted the days from this day back to the day I received the last pearl (pearl #2) - it was exactly 144 days.
The Lord had me look up the Biblical meaning of "144" -
.....it said "Spirit-guided life"
Which in the aftermath of mega persecution was especially sweet coming from My Jesus...a gift and His words of encouragement...what can be sweeter?!?!
In His Unfailing Love,
His Messenger
