CHAPTER IV
DAY 3
THE REFRESHING FLOWER AND THE WORD OF TRUTH

1. THE REFRESHING FLOWER
Today I felt a little weak and dizzy since morning. I had asthma and it made me not as fit as everyone else.
Regardless of my dizziness, I tried to still have fellowship with God. I missed my Jesus and longed to see Him again. He said that He will see me again today.
So I went to my room and started worshipping God. The presence of the Lord filled the room right away.
Colorful lights shimmered beautifully. And there was Jesus, standing gracefully in the middle of the room. The Lord walked up to me and embraced me.
In the blink of an eye I found myself in another place.
I looked around amazed.
“My Lord, this is so beautiful!”
Jesus brought me to a garden.
It was a beautiful large garden surrounded by colorful flowers and fruitful trees. There were flowers everywhere. Never in my life had I seen such gorgeous flowers! They filled the air with a sweet soothing fragrance.
Jesus sat on a large rock. I sat beside Him.
The Lord smiled at me. He was happy seeing me thrilled being in this garden. He rubbed my head lovingly.
I felt refreshed right away when He rubbed my head. All the dizziness I felt since morning was gone in seconds.
Jesus rubbed my back afterwards.
My back had been sore for a couple of days, but when the Lord rubbed it, all the pains disappeared! I felt so much better now.
"Thank you God!"
I was happy and grateful for this miracle. Our God always knows what we need.
Jesus smiled widely. He then stood up. “Come,” He said, asking me to come walk with Him.
I held His hand as we were walking. Jesus looked at me and smiled. He was happy I held His hand.
We walked through the garden for some time, then the Lord stopped to pick a flower. He gave the flower to me.
I smelled the flower. It had the scent of a light vanilla fragrance - sweet and pleasant. The flower, about the size of my palm, consisted of eight white petals with a yellow center.
"Thank you Lord, it’s beautiful." I had always loved flowers. They are lovely.
"You may eat it, My daughter.”
I looked at the Lord confused, then I looked at the flower. I pulled out a petal and put it in my mouth. It was sweet. And got sweeter as I munched it.
I took the petals one by one. After I finished with the petals, I ate its yellow center till down to the stalk. The flower was delicious so I didn’t leave anything.
Then I felt something. There was a sudden burst of energy and it was overflowing in me.
It must be from the flower. This jolt of energy made me feel dynamic and vibrant! The Lord knew I needed to be re-strengthened.
"I know what My children need,” Jesus said, "they need not worry as I provide everything they need.”
It is a divine promise. God shall supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. He always knows exactly what we need and when it is the best time to give it.
Jesus knew I needed energy, so He gave me a flower that gives vitality. I believe this symbolizes something.
The flower symbolizes our need. And from God’s own hand the flower was given. This simply means God knows exactly what we need, and He provides it to us.
How good is our God. He is Jehovah Jireh - the Lord our Provider. Blessed be Your Name, oh Lord!
2. THE WORD OF TRUTH
Jesus took me to a green pasture. We walked through the pasture for some time, then stopped in the midst of this vast stretch of grass. Jesus looked at me, then laid His right hand upon me. I closed my eyes.
"I give you wisdom," He says, "so that you can remember every word I say and write it down in your book. It shall be read by My people and be a warning to them."
A gentle wind blew through my hair. I opened my eyes and saw the Lord’s face shining brightly.
Jesus laid His hand upon my shoulder, and spoke with a loud voice:
"Those who hold fast to My word will be rewarded. I shall give everything, all that I have for those who are obedient."
"Blessed are those who honor and obey Me, for they shall be given everything they need. I pour out all My love and blessings upon them abundantly. Even, I give them the keys of the kingdom of heaven.”
"I am seeking those who are willing to obey. My eyes run to and fro throughout the whole earth seeking those who are pure in heart.”
He paused, then spoke again:
"Many people come to Me bringing offerings,” His eyes flashed with anger, “but I have no delight in them. Their offerings mean nothing to Me, because I see unrighteousness in it.
"How can I accept it when I abhor it? I have no respect nor regard towards it. Therefore those offerings will not be rewarded. This applies to ministries as well. Ministries that have unrighteousness in them will not be rewarded. I abhor such ministries. They think I know not the wickedness and craftiness in it. Do they think they can fool Me?
"I the Lord know the thoughts of every man and the secrets of every heart. I search all hearts and examine secret motives. I am the Lord who examines heart and mind - day and night.
"And they think they can fool Me! How dare they tempt and try Me. I say to you, cursed is he who tests Me! For they do not hesitate to despise Me nor My word. They do not honor Father, the Creator of the universe and everything in it; He who knows all the wiles of men. And they wish Father accepts their loathsome offerings? May they be cursed in their own vanity!
"Whoever proud and haughty shall be brought low, but I exalt the humble. Blessed are those who put their hope in Me, for they shall be satisfied and I shall continue to lift them up and love them. I choose the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise.
“It pleases Me to use the pure in heart, those with a sincere faith within them. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see Me. They will find Me in every area of their lives. I love them and shall generously bestow the riches of the wisdom upon them.
"But I will take the wisdom from the proud. I will take it from them and let them be foolish. The conceited rely on their own abilities and capabilities, they do My work in their own way and not according to My will. It is because they do not trust Me. They do not trust Me.
"No longer do they honor the Word of truth. Nor keep My ordinances or mindful of My precepts and teachings. They are destroying their own lives as they live chasing their own desires. And their hypocrisy have hindered many people to come to Me.
“I will put them to shame. They think highly of themselves but they are nothing more than futility in My eyes. It would have been good for them if they had never been born! They have submitted themselves to the darkness – they have become the children of darkness.
"There are many people like this. They claimed to be My followers, but the truth is they are not My followers and they are not My children!
"How few there are the pure in heart. How few there are who are willing to be molded and be perfected. I say unto you, blessed are those who are willing! Blessed are the pure in heart, they are exceedingly beautiful in My sight. They are My fragrant roses, My light that shines in the darkness.
"I will never leave them nor forsake them. I love them and protect them as though they were My own eyes."
A gust of wind blew right after the Lord had finished speaking. The wind swirled around us for a while before it left.
I looked at Jesus and saw His face still shining brightly. I was still amazed by His words. They contain power that made me tremble. Every word pierced the deepest recesses of my heart.

I was returned to my room afterwards. Right away I wrote everything down in my journal. With the help from the Holy Spirit I was able to remember every word the Lord had spoken.
