On Thursday, October 12, 2000, the second Witness to be called to the consummation, received personal instructions from Father that her time had come to fulfill the physical symbol of the "consummation of faith," with the Son of God. Father had chosen this Witness to be the representative of the mind of the bride of Christ, and had anointed her with a special capacity of soul to receive the thoughts of the Father and intuitively sense and flow reciprocally with the thoughts of the Son. She had been chosen to reflect the process that the mind experiences as it is brought to consummation with God. The following journal notes and recollections of her instructions of that day are included below.
10-12 Thursday: Preparation for Consummation
After coming back from my early morning walk, Father drew me over to Faithful's window to pray. I asked Father for His words. He put in my mouth to pray for Faithful to be "enfolded in Father's embrace." It was 5:30 A.M.
I continued on to Grace's home, where I was living, and we had a special time of communion together with Father. Grace said, "I have a verse for you." I had previously shared with her the two specific things that Father had spoken to me personally, in preparation for my participation in the physical "consummation of my faith." I had shared with Faithful a week or so earlier, "I very much feel the need of Father's preparation for the consummation," and He had replied, "I do too." Immediately Father had spoken to my heart and said simply, "Trust and obey." Then a few days later as I was walking in the early morning, Father had brought me to a place of sweetest emptiness. I felt like I was facing an event with nothing in myself with which to meet it. Immediately I had felt Father's strong Presence as He drew very near, and said to me, "Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord." To be brought to the sweet emptiness of not having anything or knowing anything at all, is the most precious and restful place to which a soul can be brought. In this utterly empty place, past experience or inexperience, past ability or inability, the known and the unknown, matter not, for they are not even in the picture any more. Nothing is now in the picture but the will of the Father unfolding in the moment, for the soul abandoned to His intimate care. In the depths of this sweet emptiness, Father's personal words to me found a place to rest. Now, Grace shared the verse that Father had given her for me. "But if the Spirit of Him Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He Who raised Christ Jesus from the dead [the Father] will also give life to your mortal body through His Spirit Who indwells you." Rom. 8:11. Through His written word He was giving me yet another token that He was the Source of everything that would be required of me in the consummation.
A little while later, as I was looking up the word cover, for an article I was working on, I was unexpectedly drawn to a meaning of cover which I had never considered before. After reading the initial definitions, "enfold; to shelter, protect, defend," I read the words, "to copulate (to join) with a female." Wester 1828 Dictionary. Immediately Father recalled to me the prayer which He had put in my mouth to His Son on July 21, "Behold, I am Ruth Thy handmaiden. Cover me with Thy skirts, for Thou art my kinsman." He also brought the words of reply from Boaz to me, "Fear not daughter, I will do all unto thee that thou requirest." I suddenly felt the Presence of Father strong upon me, taking me up into a clear sensing of the implications of this request, and what it really meant to be covered by my divine Kinsman-Redeemer. He gave me the knowing that that very evening was His appointed time for the symbol of the "consummation of faith" to be fulfilled. In thought and feeling Father gave me confirmation of His personal will for me that night, for the fulfillment of His purposes. I felt very responsive to Him and enclosed in His will and preparation. I was prompted to send an e-mail to His Son with the words which He put in my mouth.
Dearest precious Faithful,
How was Your night? This morning on my walk, the Father, in His usual manner, put the finishing touches on the article, Consummated with God in Thought and Feeling that I was working on. When I got back, I was drawn over to Your bedroom window to pray. The specific prayer that the Father put in my mouth, was for You to be "enfolded in His embrace" as He carries You through everything You are bearing and feeling in behalf of everyone. It was around 5:30 A.M.
I didn't remember to tell You yesterday, but the night before last I was awakened around midnight and drawn over to Your window to pray for You, and was there for about half an hour.
[Note: Father had drawn me over on October 10, the very night the consummation was to commence, to specially intercede for Faithful, though I didn't know the reason for which Father had sent me, and I didn't write down the specific words He had put in my mouth.]
Father is so very present here! It came again to me this morning as I was there by You, about the Light* I saw in Your bedroom.
*One Sabbath morning several weeks before, my eyes had been drawn to a light coming from Faithful's bedroom window. It struck me as being very uncharacteristic, for I didn't ever recall seeing the bedroom light on before. I continued to see the light for 15 minutes or so. I was out going for a walk, and Father drew me over to His Son's bedroom window. The light was very soft, and its glow extended out into the hallway window as well. His bedroom window was partly open, and I said very softly, Good morning my Love. There was no response from within, and after a short time, I continued on my walk. When I returned home I called Faithful and asked Him if He had had the light on in His bedroom. He said that He hadn't. I told Him that I had seen a light on in His bedroom for 15 or 20 minutes. When He asked what time I had seen it, and I told Him that it had been around 6:00 A.M., He said that He had still been asleep during that time. I knew then that Father had parted, for a brief space of time, the veil of sense which keeps those on this earth from seeing the invisible manifestation of the divine realities which are all around us. Father had drawn me over to Faithful's window in order to be a Witness of this visible manifestation of His usually invisible Presence, which continually attends His Son.
This morning as I prayed outside of Your window, I saw that Light so clearly with another eye. I knew the Light was there, even though I didn't see it with my physical eyes. Actually, I sensed the reality of the Presence of the Light more vividly today, than the morning I saw the physical manifestation of it.
I looked up the word cover, as I was finishing the article this morning, and one of the first definitions which caught my eye, was "enfold or envelop; to shelter, protect, defend; to overspread the surface of a thing (humanity) with another substance (divinity)." Then another definition stood out quite strongly, "to copulate (to join) with a female."
Father immediately brought back the words which He had put in my mouth to You in July, "Behold, I am Ruth Thy handmaiden. Cover me with Thy skirts, for Thou art my Kinsman."
"Heb. spread thy wing: the emblem of protection; and a metaphor taken from the young of fowls, which run under the wings of their mother from birds of prey. Even to the present day, when a Jew marries a woman, he throws the skirts of his tallith over her, to signify that he has taken her under his protection." Treasury of Scripture Knowledge.
The real meaning that came to me was, "Messiah, copulate me with Thy righteousness." Copulate, "the act of coupling; the intimate embrace in the act of generation." "Son of God, cover me with the covering which covers You, for You are my Kinsman-Redeemer. By 'the intimate embrace of generation,' couple me with Who You are, for You are One Who has the right to redeem.
And do You remember Your words to me? "And now, my daughter, Fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest:" Ruth 3:11.
All my love and affection
Gratitude (Anaiah Michal)
As Grace's phone began ringing, and the business of the day commenced, Father instructed me to remain in the quiet place He had brought me to — of sensing and feeling His imminent will for me to consummate with His Son. He led me back to the words which He had given me on July 23. "The Father Himself loveth you." John 16:27. "The Father Himself tenderly loves you because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came out from the Father." KJV, Amplified. I keenly felt the tender reality of those precious words. My Father was embracing me and holding me close to His heart with those words. They melted right into my heart in a deeper way yet, as I felt anew the awesomeness of knowing that it was Father Himself Who was calling me to know His Son in a deeper way that night.
Upon checking the church's Internet forum for the day, I found that Faithful had posted an article. His post was entitled, A Conversation with My Daddy. In the imagery of a nine-year-old boy being carried by his daddy inside of his daddy's coat, Faithful revealed the human emotions that the Son of God was experiencing as His Father was carrying Him forward in His humanly incomprehensible marriage. No one but Faithful and the first Witness knew that the consummation had actually commenced, and His words will mean much more now to the people of this land, when read again with this knowing. Father had given His Son precious, touching words with which to describe the secure place His Father was holding Him through this very distressing experience, "enfolded in Father's embrace." Faithful wrote:
A Conversation With My Daddy
Oh, Daddy, where are we going? I feel frightened, and I do not recognize this way.
Dear Faithful Son, I AM taking you home. I AM taking you by a way not so familiar to you. Is it not best to ride upon My bosom, and let Me provide for you, and let Me show you the way? Faithful Son, I want to take you to a new place now. I want you to hold onto Me carefully, and stay very near My bosom, for this is the greatest and most fearful place if you are not near Me and on Me. Sometimes I must be on you. No one has ever made it through this land without putting their head and heart right near My breast and having Me cover them with My coat.
Yes, Daddy, I know You are the only safe place. The warmth that comes from Your breast goes into mine. I see no horror when I am here. The grasp of Your strong arms fills me with security. I cannot be hurt. Daddy, how I love You. Your breast is so warm and safe.
Oh, Daddy, it seems You are taking me through the land You told me not to go into. You said it was dangerous here, and if I went here, I would get burned up in the fires of the place.
Faithful Son, I understand how you might think this is that land I spoke of. This is the land of Travesser, which resides in the greater land of Union. It is the land where one crosses over from the physical appearance into the spiritual realities which are also seen in the physical realm. There are many similar features in this land and it looks identical to the land I spoke of, when you view it from this side. However, it is not the same land. If men fail to listen carefully to Me, and stay very near My heart, they will not traverse, and will end up in the fires they fear. When we get to the other side of it, you will be able to look back and see that it is a much different place, for the fires are not the fires of the place I warned you against. These fires are the fires of My Own Presence. On the other side, you will not see it as resembling the land I warned you against, at all. This is the land of spiritual maturity. You are no longer only on My heart and bosom, but My Mind becomes your Mind and My Person becomes your Person. This is the final Union. This is where My love takes you.
Oh, Daddy, I can hardly bear my love for You. You have always carried me over the hard places too rough for me to walk upon. You have always been close to me and said, Here I am Son, don't be afraid. In the dark, I have been able to feel You close to me and hear Your voice reassure me. You have never left me alone. You have taken me out of the dangerous places and have caused me to dwell safely wherever I have been playing in the earth. You have shown me the dangerous places which might cause me harm, and You lifted me over the places I could not see. You have killed the serpents and the scorpions which have threatened my bed. Daddy, always be close to me, never let me go away from You.
Faithful Son, I have placed My love for you, in you, for Me. You needn't fear of being left behind. Your love, which I have placed in you, will keep you with Me. You will desire Me, since that is My love for you, desiring Me, which I have placed there. In this way I can take you home and you will not be taking yourself out of My grasp because of your fears. My Faithful Son, going home is not hard. It is an easy road, although very narrow. The fears that come upon you are only things you imagine, since the way is so unfamiliar when compared to your earthly dwelling. When one goes into unfamiliar lands, he is sometimes frightened and feels like he is in danger. This is a most fearful place, but when seen from the other side, it is full of delights and immersed in joy unspeakable.
My Faithful Daddy, I shall stay with You on Your heart and in Your mind. I will cling to You and smother You with my affections, for Your love for me is filling me to my limits of comprehension. You have shown me the ways of the fearful and unbelieving heart. You have guarded me and protected me in my imagined dangers, for no danger exists for me while I stay upon You. When I bury my head in Your bosom, I hardly hear anything on the outside.
Faithful Son, few there be who can traverse this land, for the gate of their mind locks them out of it, or thrusts them into the fires of the place, since the fires of the place they cannot comprehend. The fires of this place are only the bright lights and candles of My Presence and the reality from which I see.
Dear Daddy, I go with You. I yield myself to Your embrace. I delight myself in the fruit of Your land and the pleasant places of Your abode. You always take me to the greater heights with You, and I know I shall never return to where I began. Daddy, I love You. But Daddy, why are You weeping?
Faithful son, My tears are tears of love for you. My breast hurts Me so much from the love I feel for you. I want to press you right into Myself. My heart sings for joy because of Your grasp upon Me. Your trusting heart causes Me to break out in great waves of love. This is why My eyes are as a great water course. This is why they are like a river. Faithful Son, I will be with you into all time. I will never forsake you or leave you to perish. Faithful
As I read of Father causing His Son to experience, in such a sweet and vivid way, the palpable sensing of just how "enfolded in His Father's embrace" He actually was, especially during this time, I felt such tender awe and gratitude to Father for this intimate connection in our Spirits He had given us — a connection which Father had caused me to experience with His Son since His appearing. This invisible bond between Father's Anointing in me and Father's Anointing in Him cannot be comprehended with the human mind. Over and over again, Father had already gone out of His way to reveal to us how connected He had made us in mind and Spirit, and to make the point that He had done it quite on purpose. This was one of many times that Father had sent me over to Faithful's home to pray outside His window. Day or night, He would put His words of desire in my mouth for His precious Son, and then bring His answers in such striking ways.
A little while later I saw Faithful tending to some things outside, and I was drawn over to Him to tell Him about the prayer that was put in my mouth, about Father enfolding Him in His embrace, and then the blessing of reading Father's answer to it in A Conversation with My Daddy. Faithful was very blessed to know of Father's specific prayer for Him through me. He told me that He had awakened at 6:00 A.M., with a vivid sense of the Father's presence on His bed, and the close and secure feelings of being enfolded in His Father's arms. Then He had gotten up and the post had flowed out of Him.
My thoughts turned toward the literal symbol of the "consummation of faith" to occur that night, and what Faithful had described before, about how it is the bride who invites the bridegroom in when she is ready — a physical symbol of how the human soul draws the divinity of the Anointing deep into itself, rather than God just coming in at will.
