On February 24, 2008 I had what I am going to call an experience with the Creator. Josh Young a gifted musician had come for a conference to help lead us in worship of the Creator. It started on a Friday night and continued through Sunday morning. It was during the Sunday worship time that I felt the Creator speak to me to come and rest at His feet. So I sat down on the floor of the old JcPenny's building, where we meet, listening and waiting. Then I'm not exactly sure where I was there or here I do not know, but what I know is this...
I was walking along a stream and I just knew that the Creator was walking beside me. I asked Him about the beautiful stream that was bubbling and running past me on my left. He told me that it flows from His throne. I just knew that the stream was full of living water and as I looked closer I saw that what would normally be rocks lining the bottom of the stream were jewels of all colors shapes and sizes. I was deep in thought still aware of those around me, but yet still in this beautiful place. As we continued down the path I saw this tree that was so beautiful and I just knew I had been in this same spot once before. I felt the Creator tell me that the fruit on this tree was very good and all I had to do is reach up and partake of it. (I could here my pastor also saying this at the same time.) I reached up and grabbed the first fruit I saw it was huge and blue. I'm not sure of its taste but I took a giant bite and sat down under the tree. I then asked the Creator if I could listen to His heart beat. I sensed Him say yes and I laid my head upon His chest. Then in that moment I saw a flash of a stadium like place with so many people from all the nations of the world looking towards the Creator and knowing that He loved each of them just as much as me. It melted my heart and I could feel the tears flow with love that I have never felt before for so many whom I didn't even know...
Just at that point I heard my name and I was once again sitting on the floor of the old JcPenny's building, which has a sign that says, "where savings are the greatest." And I knew from that moment that something had changed with in my very DNA.
So now that I have shared this wonderful experience with all of you I pray that you will also have an experience with the Creator that will change your very structure! I promise that you wont be the same and what He gives you no one can take away!
