Michael shared that while he was laying on his bed on
Sabbath with his bible on his chest, he thought he would
just open his bible and read what ever his eyes fell upon
to see what Father would say to him. Now, we all know that
Michael does not do those kind of things normally and he
was smiling a lot while he was telling us what he did. So
we were all having a good laugh with him because of the way
he said it. When he opened it up, he read Ex. 19:11: “And
be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD
will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount
Sinai.” Well, today, Monday, was the third day from then.
What occurred was this email from Ruth (Matthew's Grandmother)
Hello my Michael,
I have good news for you. The children are going to Oregon
either sometime this week or this coming weekend. Now here
is the rest of the story. I want to share with you the
whole story from beginning to end.
Last Friday evening while we were at your porch before you
went in, I shared with you that
the children wanted to leave in front of Pam and
Bill. You looked me
right in the eyes and said something to the effect of yes,
they need to leave right in front of Pam and Bill. You also
said something else to that effect but I couldn't remember
what it was. but it tied in with you saying they need to
leave in front of Pam and Bill.
What I got from it was
they need to "leave." I went home and sat on my couch and
prayed and contemplated on that statement. It was on my
heart for the rest of the evening praying to understand
what I needed to see, if anything. It just wouldn't go
away. After I went to bed I asked Father to give me some
answers to my questions and the
contemplations.
The next morning I
wanted to listen to one of the meetings I had missed up on
the north hill, and as I sat and listened you spoke in
there about if you were a teenager and didn't want to live
with your parents you would just say to them; I don't want
to live with you anymore, I'm going to go live with Uncle
John. They would try to stop you, but you would just be
firm and leave anyway and there wouldn't be anything they
could do to stop you. Well, that went in deep. I began to put
what you said Friday night and what I heard in the meeting
and it all tied in together.
During and after I had
listened to that talk and the more I thought about it the
heavier the impression came upon me to share this with the
children. It would not go away. But it would come back to
me about not being able to share anything with the children
and I needed to keep my promise. But this impression would
not leave. All I could do was tell Father, I don't know
what to do, but you know all the answers. That morning I
couldn't read, I couldn't lay on my bed, I couldn't sit on
my couch. I just walked from one end of my house to the
other waiting for an answer from Father. I made many trips
back and forth. I said Father, I have got to know what to
do.
Later on in the morning a sister came and asked me if i
wanted to got to the north hill with her. I soon felt
impressed to go with her, so we went. When we got up there
I sat in the shade under a tree and again started pleading
with Father for an answer. This strong impression
was still on me to tell the children. In fact I believe it
was even stronger. I
sat there and prayed and waited. After I was there for
about 1- 11/2 hours this little brown bird flew into the
tree that I was sitting under and was flying from branch to
branch. While I was watching it, it was put on me to ask
for a token in this situation. I said Father, if this
little bird flies down to this spot and I fastened my eyes
on that particular spot on the branch and it was very close
to me. The little bird at this point was up in the top of
the tree looking for insects. It immediately flew from
branch to branch coming closer. It soon came walking down
the branch where I had set my eye upon before. it came
right to that spot, stayed there and looked around for
insects for 5 to 10 seconds and then flew away. I thanked
Father, I had my answer. I was greatly rejoicing in the
Lord.
On Sabbath afternoon as I was sitting there, I prayed that
Father would work on the other end also so that all things
would be in agreement. I also prayed and thanked Him that I
would have just the right words to say to them.
Sabbath
night she was at the beach and she felt impressed to call
me. She had not asked Pam if she could call me.
When she did, i told her
about Friday night and listening to the meeting on Sabbath
morning and what you said, I also told her about my token
Father had given me. When I got all through, she said, This
is wonderful! it is a second witness to what I have been
experiencing for the last couple days. She said, two nights
ago I dreamed about Maureen. I woke up on Friday morning
and she was on my heart off and on through the day. I then
woke up this morning with Maureen on my heart again and I
knew we were going to Oregon, I felt that it had to be
soon, but didn't know when. Matthew came just then and she
had to get off the phone before the battery went dead. She
told me she was going to share with Matthew on the walk
back home.
Then yesterday she
called me again from the beach and I talked to both of them
again. i encouraged them along. She said she hadn't said anything to Pam
because she was terribly cranky that day. She didn't want
to be bothered with anything, even the baby got in the way
and he was crying. She said, this home is so terribly
dysfunctional. I just really want to get out of here.
Matthew said, I'm ready to go. I said, well here is your
opportunity. She hung up then and I didn't hear anymore
from anyone until after I had gone to bed.
I was laying in bed wide awake and wondering how things
were going and the phone rang and it was Kevin. He was so
happy. He said, the kids are coming to stay with me. While
he was talking to me, I saw how Father's hand was the only
hand that moved in this whole situation.
Nobody
raised a finger to help it along. He done it all!!!
What happened was, he called the kids. Hadn't called them
since they got to Washington. Tiara still had the phone and
had just awakened from a nap and so she answered it and
they went through all the preliminaries. She then said,
Dad, were coming to live with you. He said, you are? He
said, my house is to small and Tiara said we will sleep on
the floor until you can find a bigger house. But we are
coming. As he was telling me about it, he said a thought
came into his head, I can use Roger's 32 ft camp trailer
for a bedroom for the kids, It is just sitting empty behind
Roger's friends shop. He then asked her, does your mom
know? She said no. She said just a minute dad hold on I'm
going to tell mom. She had gone out on the porch in the
mean time and she went into the house and said, Mom, we're
going to Oregon and live with dad. She only agreed. She
asked where are you going to stay. She proceeded to tell
her about uncle Roger's camp trailer and that when she got
off the phone with Dad, she was going to call him. He is in
Alaska and doesn't use the trailer anyway. So she called
him and he said sure. So Kevin is going to move it to the
back of his house and they will each have a bedroom away
from the house. He told them when they come they are
totally free. No restrictions what so ever. He wants to
accommodate them. He said that Pam wanted him to enroll
Dustin in school and he said I will do only what Dustin
wants to do and if he doesn't want to go to school I will
not make him.
He said he wanted to get them some free phone time to call
their friends and is going to hook them both up to DSL in
the trailer so they will have computer access. He is giving
Matthew his computer because he rarely uses it. Tiara said,
Father didn't just open the door. He threw it open wide.
She said, we didn't even have to do anything, Father done
it all.
What a token to the rest of the land. This is just the way
Father works, we ask and he already has it all in operation
before we even ask. Only blessings come with believing.
Altheos (Milton) is going up to get them. He asked Tiara,
how did I get into this? She told him Pam and Bill don't
have any money they are deep in debt and dad is right in
between jobs. So you came to mind and I called you. He
said, my schedule doesn't look like I can get you before
next weekend, but if it changes I will let you know. So
they are packing and want to have most everything packed
before next wednesday in case his schedule changes and is
coming sooner so he doesn't have to wait on them.
She walked with Pam later on in the evening yesterday to
the beach and Pam said to her, this is so quick, this is so
soon. Tiara said, mom when Father speaks we have to move
other wise we will be like Pip the chick. She said, do you
remember the story? Pam said, I think so. She said, we had
the book when we were little. Pip was being called by his
mother when she moved and he didn't always obey her and
lagged behind the others and a snake got him. She said.
that is the way with Father, If we don't stay under the
feathers of his wing and move when He moves, the snake will
have us. Father said, it's time to go and we are leaving.
Pam said, will you ever be back? She said, I don't know? We
are going to translate with Father when he says it's time
to go and I don't know if Bryce is coming with us, but we
are leaving with Him. She said, Pam was very silent for a
long time after that.
Tiara told me last night that they were very sad to have to
stay there. She said, one day Matthew said, living here is
just a dead end street. They were both discouraged and then
Father done this without them moving a hand. That blessed
them so much.
She also told me that one day while Bill and Matthew were
working out in the yard, Bill stopped what he was doing and
said, You know, you guys are killing me. I have to work
twice as hard to feed you and keep you in clothes. Matthew
said, you know this coming here was not our idea. He said,
I know, but I just wanted to let you know that it really is
killing me. Now he will be free again with his own little
family. I'm sure he felt like he was going under. I believe
that is why Pam gave in so readily. She got the message
loud and clear that he didn't want the children there.
It seems like they have a work in Oregon. They will be
faithful to their work. We will see what Father does.
Blessings,Your Ruth
-------------------------------------
During the gathering, Ruth said she forgot to mention
something in the letter: Tiara was talking to her dad
saying that it has been put on her heart that Maureen
(Kevin's girlfriend) will be brought closer to Father.
Kevin said, “I feel like Father is getting closer to me
too.” Tiara replied, “He is going to get even closer real
soon.
Michael spoke a little
about our imaginations, and how we get what ever we
imagine. We can take
our earth view and imagine it and that is what we get, or
we can take all the promises and imagine them and that is
what we will get.
Michael said, “Father stood up in Tiara and said, ‘This
will occur!’ She did not wait but acted on the unction
right away and that is when all heaven gets behind you and
moves, when you do that.” It makes me think of Moses at the
Red Sea. He had to do it right then.
Someone asked, “Where is the moon right now?” “It is in the
Bull and that is when the action happens.” Alia said, “Is
that like taking the bull by the horns?” Michael said,
“Yes, and your riding on his back.”
He was chatting with Andrew and he too must have known
about the email from Ruth. He said he is ready to leave
too. Michael quoted his broken english response, “Anything
can stop me now.” (meaning, “Nothing can stop me now”)
Michael told him, “What ever you “imagine” believing, you
shall receive.”
Someone mentioned the Ellen white quote: “Our heavenly
Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we
know nothing.” Desire of Aged 330
Michael said, ”Father is coming very close to you
now.”
