“The Lush Garden of His Presence and Hearing the Voice of the Lord” – 6-12-26
I am walking in the heavenly garden, and the sight of all the vibrant lush plants and aromas was heavy, and it was intoxicating. Everything was radiating even more brilliant light, and the colors were so vivid that I stood in amazement looking at everything. Every time I come here it changes. The birds are happily chattering and singing their songs. I see my white bench ahead of me, so I walk over and sit down. I close my eyes and I drink in all of the fragrances. I just want to be with the Lord.
After a few minutes, I open my eyes and Jesus is standing in front of me, and He is smiling with His arms held out to me. My heart was beating fast for Him. He was wearing His white garment with a red over garment and a belt. He starts talking and I can’t hear Him. It’s like His mouth is moving but no sounds come out. I stand up and put my hands on both sides of his head to hear what He is saying, but nothing comes out. So, I finally stepped inside of Him, and we were standing facing each other inside of Him. I said, “Okay, what’s going on?”
He said, “My people are so used to Me speaking to them in the normal ways that they are comfortable with. They are not willing to stretch their faith to know Me more. They must all go higher in Me, for they will all have to learn to know Me in all My many-faceted ways in the coming days. I am going to do many new things that will shock My church. I’m going to reveal My Glory in new ways, and those who refuse to leave the old and the comfortable will run away from Me, for they only want Me in the ways they like, and in the things that man has presented as Me. I will not allow My people to keep Me in their molds. I am not a man, for I am also God. There is no fear of God in the earth, nor is it found in the world’s church. My Holiness is returning. The minute that you grow comfortable in your relationship with Me, that is when you will begin to grow cold, and lose the fear of Me.”
“Many voices are speaking in the earth, and many say they are speaking for Me, but I have not spoken to them. There is too much confusion and fear weighing on men everywhere and in My church. This is not to be, and if men would hear Me truly, they would know the source of what they hear! You must discern y voice even more! I am not the author of fear. I am to be the author of your faith! I am the Truth! My Word and My Presence and My Glory are not to be taken for granted! So, men will have to press in now, even more than before, to hear Me clearer. I am to be pursued by those who love Me and who desire Me above all else. It’s time to come up higher above the clamor and the distractions, for many will fall away in your days.”
“The garden we walk in together here is the garden of your heart. It is the place of intimacy with Me, but it is so much more. As men walk with Me here, it is also to be a place of growth, maturity, and of personal transformation. If My people will not partake of Me and fully desire to become more like Me, then they will pursue what they love more than Me. None of your old ways and old desires can continue to live in My Presence nor will they bear fruit anymore. Only what is living in Me- can truly flourish in this hour."
"Many want My Glory, yet they do not want to change. Ministries want My Glory, but they do not want to change. My Words are to be reverenced and to be respected, because My Words are Me! I will not be marketed nor merchandised anymore. It’s time to change your ways and come to Me and be changed! Many of My people often feel drained, dry, and struggle in their walks with Me. If they would truly open their hearts fully to Me, and let Me have their full desire, then they would find the richness in Me here.”
“Worldly comforts will no longer satisfy the hearts of man. Many will run here and there looking for the new that they think will satisfy them and will fall into the traps of man. I am the fresh and the new that you must pursue! You must all let go of all you currently know and come to Me even more, and I will feed you the rich things of My Kingdom. The things that I am about to do in the earth will shake even the most hardened of peoples. That is the purpose of what I am doing. I am going to shake everything that can be shaken. I am here to bring change. Those who are called by My name, and who are My church will also change.”
“Ministry as you know it will change. I am not to be a ministry model designed for men to operate in. My church is My Body. It belongs to Me. I am the Head of the Church, and those who allow Me to truly be their Head, will flourish in Me richly. It’s time to flourish even more when you gather in My Presence. I am going to flood My House and My people with Me. My fragrance will be everywhere that I am allowed to be. Persecution will come, as My greater fragrances are released, but many will also be delivered and healed and brought into My true peace. There will be no true peace in this world, outside of walking with Me. Seek Me even more. Seek My heavenly things that are above that are waiting for all of you to discover. Come and learn even more of Me. Come more and draw from Me all that you need. I will supply everything that you will need. My Joy will grow and will also be complete in you, and wherever you go upon the earth, I will be known through you.”
Scriptures:
John 10:7 So Jesus said again, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that I Myself am the Door for the sheep. 8 All others who came [as such] before Me are thieves and robbers, but the [true] sheep did not listen to and obey them. 9 I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved (will live). He will come in and he will go out [freely], and will find pasture. 10 The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [overflows).
John 10:27 The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. [To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed.] And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.
John 15:4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 8 When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. 9 I have loved you, [just] as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love [continue in His love with Me]. 10 If you keep My commandments [if you continue to obey My instructions], you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commandments and live on in His love. 11 I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing.
Song 5:1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices]. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends [feast on, O revelers of the palace; you can never make my lover disloyal to me]! Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one [for now I know you are mine, irrevocably mine! With his confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night]. 2 I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. [I dreamed that I heard] the voice of my beloved as he knocked [at the door of my mother’s cottage]. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one [he said], for I am wet with the [heavy] night dew; my hair is covered with it. 3 [But weary from a day in the vineyards, I had already sought my rest] I had put off my garment—how could I [again] put it on? I had washed my feet—how could I [again] soil them? 4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my heart was moved for him. 5 I rose up to open for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers with liquid [sweet-scented] myrrh, [which he had left] upon the handles of the bolt. 6 I opened for my beloved, but my beloved had turned away and withdrawn himself, and was gone! My soul went forth [to him] when he spoke, but it failed me [and now he was gone]! I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
