The Valley of Peace

        I have spent the last several days walking in the valley of peace and absorbing the atmosphere of this place. It is aptly named for as it is called so it is. My spirit feels refreshed and renewed. It has been a time of quite reflection and renewal. During these days I have been completely alone as I have walked and recharged my spirit. God is such a wonderful person after the months of intense revelation he has given me this respite. At present I am walking in the forest surrounding the valley. There are no dark shadows in heaven so even though like redwoods the trees tower above me, the forest is well lit although the sky cannot be seen because of the branches of the trees above me.


  I am on a golden pathway and as I rounded a corner sitting on a bench in front of me was Jesus. He stood and walked over to me and put his arms around me. In that brief time we embraced each other my spirit was alive with the twin emotions of love and devotion that I feel for him with all my heart. His eyes twinkled with the glory of God yet his manner was relaxed. We turned and began to walk down the pathway together in the direction that would lead us to Father’s house. Father’s house overlooks the valley of peace.

  As we walked he began to speak to me. “ Son you must remember to come here and refresh yourself as you have done these last few days as you count time on earth. In the days ahead you will experience great turmoil as the culmination of all things begins. In the intensity of the fight do not lose focus on the fact that it is your connection to us that shall sustain you in the days ahead.”

  His voice was warm but firm and again as always I am overwhelmed that I am here with him. There is no one like the master and Father yet for all there glory and power I feel so comfortable and at rest in their presence.

  We came to a clearing and I saw we were on the edge of the valley of peace and I could see Father’s house with all its architectural wonder in the distance. We both stood there lost in the beauty of this place. Jesus then put his arms on my shoulders and stood face to face with me looking deeply into my eyes. For a long moment there was a complete silence between us. Yet our spirits as always were connected.

  “Michael the process of birthing the kingdom has begun. The power and majesty of our power and glory are spreading across the world and the time of Fathers revealing almost is upon us. I am the head and the church is my body. You will have a time to work and my church is in this hour being made ready for that which is about to come. As I told my disciples this is the beginning of sorrows. Even now the hearts of men are troubled by what they see coming upon the earth.”

   We sat down on the grass on the edge of the forest and from such an ideal setting it was hard to think of all that was coming. Jesus as always was teaching me with the wisdom and authority that he has; yet I was also warmed by his favor and felt such peace, love, and acceptance as he spoke. I took a deep breath and the sweet aroma of the air here had its desired affect on me. One cannot be in the valley of peace and not be completely at ease. I noticed he had stopped speaking and was looking at me with that beautiful smile that only he has.

  “ Michael I to love the atmosphere of this valley and my heart like yours is delighted to be here with you at this moment. We shall spend a great deal of time together in the days ahead. My servants Moses and Elijah have as they always do taught you well and shown you great and mighty things.”

  He then grew silent and then reached out and took my hand. His expression was one of tenderness and compassion.

   His eyes filled with tears and he said, “ Michael you have suffered a great deal for me and Father and yet your heart’s desire has never once changed. You have from a small child longed to know us and that desire was implanted in your heart before you were ever born. This son’s journey is far more than just a time of learning and growing. It is Father’s and my gift to you for in your heart of hearts this is where you have ever longed to be.”

  My eyes also began to fill with tears and my heart swelled with affection for my Lord.

  He looked me in the eyes again and put his hand on my head and said,” Son the afflictions of your body have been Satan’s last attempt to divert you from that holy calling and purpose Father and I have for you. Be strengthened and healed by the power and authority of my word spoken this day to you. As I healed your inner wounds so this day I begin the process of cleansing and healing your body for that which I have for you to do.”

   With this we both stood to our feet.

   We began to walk to Father’s house and Jesus continued speaking, “ Son I have many things to show you but none will ever be more important to me than the love that both Father and I have for you. Come let us be going for Father awaits us.”
