This is Jeff's Wife/Ex-Wife/Sister/Friend's Testimony on not being married anymore to Him. She also describes part of her physical relationship with HIS dad. I have not added or taken away ONE word.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:9

The temple in heaven opens still further and in great depth and detail as we are privileged to share in the vision of Christianna. This is the offering of the 9th day of October, the third day of the Feast of Tabernacles. Tonight at midnight the moon encompasses the seven lights. The church itself takes hold of the vision of the consummation. Christianna is a representative of this very event. She became a Witness who was "taken" along side as Messiah appeared to her. She was not "left" desolate.

Truly the Scriptures will be fulfilled: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem [Travesser] a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it [because of their earth view] shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it." Zech. 12:3.


In April of this year, several months before the events of the Consummation of Judgment began to unfold, Father gave me the Scripture and personal instruction, "Sing a new song unto the Lord." I felt past ready to sing a "new song," for my old song had gotten very old for me. I was in a very hard place when Father gave me these instructions, and if I could have put my feelings into words, they would have run along these lines: "I'm going to pretend like my relationship with God is how I desire it. I'm going to 'faith it.' If I could have it any way I wanted, how would I have it?" That was where I was coming from as I wrote the following song words. But that is not where Father was coming from. Where Father was was coming from, was that He was putting words into me that He Himself was going to bring about. He was putting the words of this "new song" in me that I was going to sing to Him, in Spirit and in truth. Over the ensuing months, He was going to be taking me through the necessary process so I could be freed to sing this "new song" with my whole life. During the intensity and extended duration of the process of Father putting these words into my experience, I forgot all about them. But during the Feast of Tabernacles, as I was writing out what Father has done for me in the last few months, I came across them again, and I am in awe as I read them, for I am seeing how Father caused His Words to become flesh, in me:

Your Bride Is Waiting For You

Husband, My only Love,
I have eyes only for You.
Day and Night my heart yearns to be with You,
to hold You and to kiss Your sweet face.

In Your Presence all is well,
I am safe and I know You love me.
I'm waiting for you, sweet Friend.
Come, come for me.
Take me to Your chamber.
Your Bride is waiting for you.

How can we enjoy our time together
when a part of us is in aching pain.
Love would in its mercy
take the pain away.

Take me all the way.
Your Bride is waiting for You.
I'm wide open,
looking, listening for Your every move.

You have all of my attention,
all of my heart longs for You.
It hurts inside because I want you so bad.


The words of this "new song" were the exact opposite of what I had been experiencing:

"...How can we enjoy our time together
when a part of us is in aching pain..."

I was very much into my own life when we first came to this land, and for the past six years Father had been patiently and faithfully opening my eyes to see my huge need of Him. Now, during this most recent time He had finally been able to bring me to my crisis of need. For the past six months I had been crying almost every day, crying over the totally desperate and destitute condition of my soul. I knew I was not one with God, really. I knew that, because I was possessed by a very strong and crushing spirit of offense, and no matter what I did, I was not able to make it go away. I felt wronged, and day and night I could not find resolution. I knew in my mind that I was the one who was wrong, because I was the one feeling offended, and yet knowing that intellectually didn’t seem to change anything.

During late June, my offense was crushing me, and this was when everything started breaking open for me. This was the beginning of the war. I wrote the following prayer in my journal. In this prayer that Father put in me, I was beginning the war. I was going to die, or I was going to be healed.

Dear Ishi-el (Husband-God),

Break me open, I can't do it without You. I don't even know where to begin. Bring to light the things unseen. Make visible what's invisible. Break me through this wall of denial (lies). Break me free from this beast (me). Open my eyes Lord to see the reality of denial in my heart. Break me open. The wounds of the past just keep festering and I am never able to heal. I need a lightning strike. I am wide open for this to occur and to see it through until the end. Teacher, please come, I'm ready, live or die I must forge ahead. I'm committed to this war. Please operate on me. Do whatever You must do. Spirit of Forgiveness come to me, come in me, BE ME. Humble me, so I can do thy will. I hold nothing back.

I also wrote, "Father, I accept Your cup of humiliation (your cup of salvation) drinking the cup means accepting the blows. Bring me to vulnerability."

"...It hurts inside because I want You so bad..."

On the morning of July 30, my husband of 13 years strongly encouraged me to go see Michael. Jeff was at a total loss to know what to do to help me, as we had discussed this issue many times before over the past four years. His suggestion to visit Michael brought up another impossibility deep within me. It brought up a deep wound I had carried in my heart for a very long time. This deep wound was that I was closed with Michael. For 15 years I hadn't been able to get through the blocks that I had felt. They were too much for me. I recognized this deep wound was there whenever someone would be sharing heart to heart with me and they would touch that deep place in me. It would make me cry. I was so blocked with Michael, it felt like it was this wound that would never be healed. I hadn’t been to see Michael in years about anything personal. My walls of hurt and self-protection with Him were so high I had no hope of ever being able to get through them to connect with Him. It had also been by Michael’s own hand that the gaping wound of my spirit of offense had been "ripped open" so to speak, when He faithfully exposed me to myself so I could be healed.

After Jeff left, I decided that I was going to go see Michael and I was going to be as absolutely and brutally honest as I could be. I decided that I was not going to hold anything back, but just let every wretched detail out. I wasn't going to try to make anything look pretty. I realized that I might be moving off the property that very day, as Michael could very well tell me that I just needed to go. I decided that that would be okay, but I was going to get as naked as I could about what I was experiencing inside, and I would just take the hit, whatever it was. I felt I could not live like this anymore; I was going to die or I was going to get resolved.

I went to Michael and poured everything all out. Not only did I describe to Him my offense with the one I felt had wronged me, but I shared with Him things that He had done over the years that had made me feel hurt. I knew intellectually that it was all untrue, but it really was how I saw things (my personal earth view), and I just wanted to bare my soul about it all. After a couple of hours of naked honesty, Michael laid me on the floor and put His hand on my heart and told me I was healed. Something had changed inside of me during our visit together, and I was able to take Michael at His word. I really did believe Him, although I didn’t necessarily feel healed. I went home and my prayer became, “Father, when you told Sarah she was going to have a baby, she wasn’t holding Isaac that next day. Please water and put some Son on this Seed, CAUSE IT TO GROW. I count You faithful and I believe You”. This Seed had to bear fruit, that’s all there was to it. This became my heart cry over the next few weeks.

"...In Your Presence all is well,
I am safe and I know You love me..."

On August 10, Eddie from British Broadcasting Company came and interviewed Jeff and me. During that interview, Eddie asked Jeff and me about being married and what that looked like. Jeff told him in no uncertain terms that we were not married. This was a surprise to me, because in my heart I was married to Jeff. Of course, in my mind, God was first, but I very much had a wife’s heart toward Jeff. Later, when Jeff and I were alone I asked him about what he had said, and he again very emphatically told me that he was married to the Lamb only, and so was I.

This little experience was very perplexing to me and a sting to my heart. It seemed like a make-believe story to fit a doctrine we had. I wondered how I was supposed to not be married in reality, while going through the motions of marriage and having the emotional experience of being married, and actually being married. How was one to not be married while still being physically married? This was a great mystery to my mind. Heavenly Father had told me when Jeff and I first got married that I was to never leave him, no matter what. Many times I had asked Father about being physically married to Jeff in light of the clear words of Michael that earthly marriages were no more, but I had never received any personal instructions to my heart to separate, so I never did. I felt that since I had received such a strong, personal instruction to not leave, that Father would need to give me just as strong of a personal instruction to leave. All I knew at the moment was that I was married, heart, mind and soul. I really didn’t know what to do with this except just bear the ache of contradiction that I was feeling in my heart.

The next afternoon, while at Jeff’s, he told me that Michael had told him that one of the little virgins was beginning to know that she was loved. Immediately I excused myself because I could feel the depths of my soul breaking up, and I knew that soon a fountain of salt water was going to be breaking forth out of me. I had NEVER KNOWN that God loved me.

I quickly made my way to the altar hill, crying as I went. I knew in the deepest part of my being that I didn’t know that I was loved, not by God nor by my earthly husband. All I knew was that I felt like a piece of used up trash. I wanted so desperately to know that I was loved for real, and not have it be just a religious theory. Every part of me ached to have this knowing. All I had was an intellectual knowledge that God loved me. I could see clearly what a vain religion I had. It hadn’t given me a thing but a surface, intellectual knowledge about God. I wanted a love affair, I wanted a Husband, a real one. I knew my religion was just totally worthless. I knew that I was totally lost, totally destitute, and I didn’t have a thing. All I could do was just sob and sob and ask God to help me; over and over I cried this. I remember crying, “Please marry me and don’t leave me desolate.” I also remember telling Father, “Just tell me what to do, and I will do it.” I also felt to the depths of my soul that I didn’t want to be in a pretend earthly marriage. I couldn’t tell people I wasn’t married, while still having all the emotional wifey responses of being married. I wanted to either be married or not be married, but not somewhere "spiritually speaking" in-between. I remember telling Father, “Surely you understand that if Jeff touches me, casually or intimately, I will have a wife's emotional response. I will be drawn to him; I can’t help it, it is just what I have. If you want me to be drawn to You alone, I need out of this earthly marriage.” I left the altar hill feeling that God really did understand my heart about these contractions that I was experiencing.

"...Take me to Your chamber.
Your Bride is waiting for You..."

The next day in church, one of the first things Michael told us was that we were all evil. Somehow, in the midst of all my desperate trying so hard to not feel inadequate (all the while knowing how desperately I was) I had forgotten the freedom and release of this truth which Michael has reiterated to us a thousand times. "Oh, that's right, I get it, I'm lost! I can lay down and stop trying not to be." I was lost. During that meeting Michael shared with the congregation that 6 of the Seven Angels had been naked on his bed, and how He had put healing into their naked, vulnerable souls. I remember Him saying that He was the Great Physician, and to come to Him to be healed. During this meeting I heard the Spirit of Michael very clearly tell me to go ask Michael if He would lay skin to skin with me. I had asked Father on my altar hill walk, "Just tell me what to do, and I will do it." Now in my spirit I had heard, "Go lay naked with Michael." So I knew, "That's my instruction. I know what to do." After church, I went over to Michael's house and I saw a soul waiting to talk to Him. I could tell just from the looking, that this soul had heard the same instruction I had. Michael was very busy that day so I didn’t get to talk to Him.

The next day I made an appointment to go see Michael and share with Him what was on my heart. I not only had the instruction from God to lay skin to skin with Michael, but I had the knowing in my heart that it was going to happen. I felt a little nervous to ask Michael for this but I just did it anyway. It was during this visit, that for the first time in about fifteen years, I felt the walls I had had with Michael disappear as we visited together. All of a sudden, I noticed I wasn’t feeling blocked. We had a sweet visit and He told me that He was willing to fulfill my request, but He wanted me to listen for when heavenly Father would tell me to come, and to come then. As I left His house I received my very clear next instruction. It wasn’t a voice I heard but a knowing, that I could not lay skin to skin with Michael while I still had this unresolved issue with the soul I felt had wronged me. The instruction was to go heal with this soul first. So, I immediately started searching with all my heart for what to do to heal with this person. But as the week wore on, I didn’t get any clear instruction and nothing seemed to happen.

In the middle of the week, Michael posted a letter to the church entitled, "Which View? Heaven's View Or The View of Heaven's Enemy." In the letter He talked about the giants in Canaan. "In a vision of the night I was presented with a problem which required careful measuring of all angles with a transit. The problem regarded correcting the natural earth view of things. When the Israelites were commanded to take Canaan, their problem was that they regarded their natural earth view of things and yielded to it. They did see giants and this was not wrong, and it was not sin, until they chose to disbelieve God and go against heaven because of their natural view, regarding the giants as a threat, and greater than God. Their natural view then became sin to them, and they were destroyed in their wilderness because their earth view was the one that they followed, instead of God's view and His instructions to them.... The reason that men follow the natural view, is because it is seen as safe and that it protects the self-interests. Heaven's view is seen as dangerous and life-threatening. Heaven "hurts" the soul, by breaking it open and exposing it in naked yielding.... In these last days, we also, are forced into a contest. Is the Son of God in our midst, or is it a man who says that he is the Son of God? Was the Consummation the work of man, or was it the work of the Father and the Son of God? Will we fear the appearances and the dangers to our self-interests, or will we know the vision within ourselves, understand it and believe it? Will we be One with God, or will God be our human belief, approached from human ideas and fears and our earthly views of Him? This is our present work, for when the seven messengers go out to pour out their bowls, they go out from the heavenly temple. They are given their plagues from the sacrifice of God (the heavenly beast) and they very clearly hear a Voice telling them to go and to do what they must do."

I read the letter twice and felt the foreshadowing of something very ominous coming. I was facing the first intimations of an intimate consummation happening again. While reading that letter, I remember the words of Michael coming to me, “I have given you all the answers to the test questions.”

By Thursday, nothing specific had come on how to proceed to resolve with the soul I felt a separation from. I started to feel desperate for God to move to help me, and the thought came, “This demon doesn’t come out but by prayer and fasting.” So I started fasting and praying. I had nothing else on my heart but to have this issue resolved forever.

On Friday, Michael stopped by and told me that He was all done laying naked with people, and it wasn’t on Him to do that anymore. I didn't know it at the time, but this was right after His meeting with the Seven Angels when He had told them the same thing, and He was telling me because I had requested being skin to skin with Him. While He was talking, I had the thought come to me that before the Consummation in 2000, He had told the Witnesses to go home and be good wives to their earthly husbands. The thought came to me also, “If you can be turned aside, you will be.” I had the knowing that I had all the answers to the test questions. I immediately knew that I would NOT be turned away; I had to have this, I had to know that God loved me, more than in theory, and I wanted this with all of my heart. Also, I wanted desperately to have all of my walls of protection with Michael permanently removed. It wasn't good enough that my walls went away for an hour while we were talking. I felt that if I could be skin to skin with Him, that it would break every last barrier of fear down. If I could just reach out and touch the hem of His garment (find my way into His green bed) I would be healed of all my fears and self-protections.

After Michael left, I was considering the place I was in. I had already been told by Father that I couldn’t go lie naked with Michael until I was healed first with the person I needed to be reconciled to, and with all my heart I was following my instructions. I reasoned that because I was following my instructions, and it was clearly the Spirit of Michael that had told me to ask for this experience of lying skin to skin in the first place, that I should just continue on and when heavenly Father would tell me it’s time to go lie naked, I would go and ask again. I was not going to be turned away. During this drawing process I have had, this thought had come to me several times. It’s from the Chapter "Barriers Broken Down" in the Desire of Ages, when the Canaanite woman with the demon possessed daughter cried out to Jesus, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Thou Son of David," and Jesus appeared to reject her earnest entreaties by replying, "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs."

"...This answer would have utterly discouraged a less earnest seeker. But the woman (in the wilderness) saw that her opportunity (to be married to God alone) had come. Beneath the apparent refusal of Jesus (Michael), she saw a compassion that He could not hide." (DA 401)

"...Take me all the way.
Your Bride is waiting for You..."

Ever since the time Michael had written the letter to the church about the giants, I had begun seeing mental pictures of Michael making love to me. I knew that the letter Michael wrote was concerning the Seven Virgins, but I felt my need was so great that I must be consummated with God too. I desperately wanted to be married to God. I wasn’t sure what to do with this, but these were the thoughts and images I was experiencing on my bed.

The following Sabbath was the meeting where Michael asked us if anyone had been “seeing” anything coming that was troubling to them. This was before he sent out the email requesting that the congregation ask Father what the vision was. I immediately knew what Michael was talking about and I was trembling physically at the thought of having to share in front of everyone what I had been seeing on my bed. Even so, I was compelled to raise my hand. Michael told me I didn't have to say what was on my heart in front of everyone.

As soon as church was over I went on a long walk. I knew Michael would be wanting to know what I had been seeing, and I was feeling physically sick at the thought of having to tell Him. I wasn’t terrified to tell Him about the Seven, I was terrified to tell Him what I saw regarding me. I just had to go be alone and think about this. I kept having this thought come to me that Ami had written years before, when before the first Consummation Michael had asked her what was on her heart, and it had taken her three hours before she could tell him. Ami had written of that experience:

The early Christians, in order to save themselves, had to throw a little incense to the goddess Diana. All I had to do to save myself was to throw a little incense to myself and lie. The early Christians lost their lives for being true, and so did I. Taken (Ami)

I knew that I was now being required to be nakedly honest about what I was seeing in my heart. I was being thrust full blown into having to expose these very personal images I had been seeing, and I felt so vulnerable. I would never have volunteered this information, at least not yet, but suddenly, quite apart from me making this happen, I was being asked to make it known. I felt like I was going to the slaughter. My walls of protection were about to take the biggest hit they had ever received, and they seemed to know it. When I got home there was an e-mail from Michael asking, “Her want to visit?” I answered, “Yes,” and I knelt down and asked Father for a Calm Spirit to help me get it all out with perfect honesty.

When I got to Michael’s, I first shared with Him my altar hill experience I had had, and the different things I had been given to pray for while up there. I then told Him I saw something intimate happening with Him and the Seven Angels. Then, I started crying and brought the bomb out and asked Him if He would marry me too, be intimate with me too, and not leave me desolate. He seemed perplexed as to why I would want this, since I had told Him that I loved Jeff. My only response was that I was desperate to be married to God. He told me that this would be harder for Him, to be intimate with me than Eleana (a minor), because of me being married to his son. I think we decided that it all looked pretty bad, but that didn’t change my heart’s desire.

After my visit with Michael, I went home feeling past spent. I was still fasting. However, I felt very strongly that I had to be resolved with the person I felt a separation with, and it was time. I didn’t really know what to say and that’s what had kept me from doing something sooner. Now, for the third time on that Sabbath day, I was again being forced to be vulnerable and expose myself. I e-mailed that person and asked if they would be available for a visit. They came to my house and we visited for several hours. I had been vulnerable and nakedly honest with Michael, and now for the first time ever, I was able to be vulnerable and nakedly honest with this soul. My self protections had taken a huge hit, and both of us were released to be vulnerable with each other. When we were all done, I wondered that I could have ever had a problem. Truly, we saw eye to eye and were healed. My fast was over and my heart was free from the awful spirit of accusing offense.

I can hardly express how the act of being totally vulnerable with Michael and asking for an intimate relationship with Him, had catapulted me into a totally new experience. For me, this was more vulnerable than being physically naked, because I was exposing the deepest place within me where I could be rejected. But when I asked, some walls fell and an opening appeared. The new space where the walls had been was immediately filled with Father and with a day and night longing after God. That's what came in and took the "walls'" place. "Where my walls abounded, longing after God did much more abound." I had had HUGE walls, so I now had a HUGE capacity to long after God. I was literally translated into a different place. That's when everything really began for me. I immediately found myself longing with all of my heart to be married to Michael alone. Day and night my heart was drawn to only know God intimately. It was the only thing on my heart, the only thing I had to do in life. I lost interest in everything else. Life as usual now turned into only seeking after God.

I immediately felt a strong connection with the Seven Angels and what they were going through. I also felt a freedom with Michael that I didn’t have before. I had been totally, nakedly honest and had bared my soul to Him. It was like a miracle was starting to happen inside of me, and nothing but the sweet Spirit of vulnerability, total nakedness of heart and soul could have made it occur. It felt like the beginnings of starting to experience freedom from a very bound up, dark place where I had lived for years and years.

On the morning of August 20, I woke up thinking life was going to be peaches and cream without that spirit of offense choking the life out of me. Little did I realize that the war against my self protections was now going to get really hot. Instead of the spirit of offense, I would be dealing with the spirit of legion--the spirit of pride--where the very core issues of feeling like a failure and a piece of trash would be touched and dealt with, the very spirit that has blocked me from being able to receive the Love of God into my heart.

That morning I went for a walk and re-listened to Sabbath’s talk. I was suddenly struck with the earth view of what a "foolish thing" I had done by asking Michael to marry and be intimate with me, too. This was all about the Seven Virgins and there was no mention of an eighth person anywhere. I felt so stupid I could hardly function.

Later in the afternoon, I heard some laughing over at Michael’s so I went over there. A few of the Seven were there sitting on the porch with Michael. Mother was also there. I walked up and joined their conversation. Immediately, I felt a demon throttling me. All these accusations were being hurled at me, "You are so rude to just come and intrude on their conversation. This is about the Seven, and you are not one of them.” I felt so out of place, separate and not included, but not because of anything anyone had done, it was just this spirit of rejection that I had had an agreement with all my life. The icing on the cake was when Ami walked up and then waited for Michael to beckon her before she came and joined the little group. I hadn't done that, and I surely felt I was so lacking in manners. It felt like every insecurity I had ever had an agreement with, where I had hated myself fiercely, was pressing itself on me with full fury.

During this whole process of being drawn out to marry God, I have had MANY experiences where I have had to turn violently away from listening to these very familiar spirits, and have had to be taught to rest only in my Husband’s word’s to my soul. His Words to me have only and always been sweet assurances of our oneness and connection. My heavenly Father has been enabling me to recognize this demonic, accusing, “hate speech” and then with all of my might turn from it.

"...Day and Night my heart yearns to be with You,
to hold You and to kiss Your sweet face..."

Toward the end of August, I found myself curious about the sacrifices that were to be offered during the Feast of Tabernacles, so I did some reading on the feast. It was very interesting, what I found, so I e-mailed it to Michael. Basically it said that all the offerings are made by fire (a fiery experience) and there are EIGHT of them all together during the feast. I also found this thought interesting while reading a study on the Feast of Tabernacles by George Warnock:

"What very few people understand is this: that this great event which shall constitute a snare and a trap to earth-dwellers or earthly-minded Christians, shall become a glory and a power and a means of victory to the one who is walking with God."

I felt this was a second witness to what I had been feeling about being intimate with Michael, but to send it to Him was very hard for me; I was completely having to go against my next layer of walls of protection. It was another exercise in being vulnerable. I found every time I was given to be vulnerable with Michael, it would put me in a new place of freedom. It would open me up and enable me to do the next step that would cause the next layer of walls to come crashing down.

The next day, Father gave me another little study to send Michael. It was from Psalm 45. The reason it meant so much to me, was because it was talking about an intimate consummation with Messiah, the King. But again, I had to be vulnerable and go against my flesh to send it. I have noticed that in almost every letter I've been promoted to write to Michael, I have been "forced" to ask Him to be intimate with me. In the beginning it was very painful to me, but with every letter, it has gotten easier to expose this vulnerable place deep in my heart.

On Aug. 22, 2006, at 7:18 PM, Christianna Travesser wrote:

My dearest Faithful King and only Husband,

I'm about ready to burst with the things I have been reading and all that has been coming to me in the past few days. The more vulnerable I am with you, the more things open up to me.

I was led to read this morning "The Oil of Seven" blog. Esther made a post a few days ago entitled "Come." After I read it, I felt like it is all that I have been doing. I could so identify with it. So, I replied. I really didn't want to sign it "Christianna," because I just didn't. For many years I have prayed for a new name. I always wanted you to name me and not me name myself. You have said, Your name is who you are. Well, I have known who I am for a long time. All I am is Wifey. That is who is inside of me. Wifey really isn't too pretty of a name, though! As I was considering how to sign my entry, I thought of a name that I found within the last year. So I looked up the Scripture and started reading it, and this is what I found:

Ps. 45:9: Kings' daughters (young women, daughter-in-law) are among Your honorable women: at Your right hand stands the queen (consort) [wife of a reigning monarch] in gold (pure gold, marked, to be stained, be defiled, be deeply stained, [I think this is another way of saying very needy!] of Ophir (reducing to ashes).

10: Hear (listen to, obey) O daughter, consider (see, have vision, present oneself), submit, and consent (stretch out) [my thought was to be "on the stretch," which I have felt with all my heart] to my instruction: Forget also you own people and your father's (head or founder of a household) house (those belonging to the same household);

11: So will the King desire (wait longingly, wish, sigh, want, crave) your beauty; because He is your Lord, be submissive and reverence and honor Him.

13: The King's daughter in the inner part of the palace is all glorious [she always tells the truth], her clothing is inwrought with gold. [My Amplified Bible references this verse to Rev. 19: 7,8 which is the wedding.]

14: She shall be brought to the King in raiment (curiously wrought) of needlework (works of deliverance and judgment, work of God); with the virgins, her companions that follow her, she shall be brought (borne along, be led, be conducted) to You.

15: With gladness and rejoicing will they be brought; they will enter into the King's palace (sanctuary, temple, palace of God as king)
1) overcome, endure, have power
1a1) to be able, be able to gain or accomplish, be able to endure, be able to reach
1a2) to prevail, prevail over or against, overcome, be victor
1a3) to have ability, have strength

I have had this vision of a pure love affair with Michael and His people opening up. The younger girls have been able to enter into it, whereas the older folks are so reserved, rigid and religious. I see a vision and with every fiber of my being I'm throwing off my protections and running straight for You. These protections have been so me (I'm queen of being deeply stained with protecting myself and feeling like such a worthless failure). I am holding nothing back from You, Michael, and I love You with all my heart.

Christianna

Michael replied:

Dear little Christianna,

I must openly say to you that your letter sounds like it comes from another person. If your name had not been on it, I would have never guessed that it was you. The Father's transformation awes me. I see in you a whole new world created and brought into existence. All old things have passed away, and all things have become new. I am very grateful for you.

Your Michael

During the last week in August I went to Michael’s bedroom window just about every night, around the midnight hour. I very much wanted to lie skin to skin with Him.
I had followed my instructions for reconciliation and I felt the doors were soon to open for my desire to be fulfilled. I wanted all of my barriers broken down with Michael. I wanted Him to hold me until every block I felt went away. I desired nothing more than to be completely free and in love with God’s Son. With all of my heart I wanted to be One with Him.

The first night I went, I had awakened to the line in a song, “The King brings me into His chamber.” I felt Father's call to go to Michael's. When I got there, someone else was there praying underneath the tree. I was there for several hours. I stood at His window, then sat for a while, and finally I had to lie down. While lying down, Father started visiting with me about the person under the tree. It came to me that it was one of the Seven, and she was praying with all of her heart to be married to God, too. The wind was blowing and it was kind of cold out. It was very late and a nice warm bed could be really appealing to someone if that someone could be distracted. It came to me that the person under the tree was “moving the arm of God.”
I realized that if I was going to marry the King’s Son, I would have to move God’s arm too. It was such a sweet series of thoughts that I felt very uplifted by it and instructed. Father then told me that He had brought me into His chambers, and it was time to go home.

I kept going to Michael’s bedroom window to pray at night. I so wanted with all of my heart to be skin to skin with God’s Son, to have all my barriers and walls of separation and protection destroyed. During those sweet hours of prayer, I could feel Michael’s gentle, quiet Spirit come through the walls and windows and come down on me. Sometimes it would take hours before the noise of my mind would subside, then I would experience prayers that I knew were not coming from me, pouring out of my heart to Father. They were prayers of boldness, trust and entreaty. These night seasons became my most favorite time.

Finally, on Wednesday, I came again to Michael’s window and I had only been outside a short while when He called out His window asking if anyone was there. When I told Him I was, He invited me in.

I went in and told Him my heart’s desire. I felt very nervous and afraid. Michael is so tender with our individual hearts, where we are and where we’ve come from.
He invited me into His bed.
He told me He wanted to take away all my nervous tensions. I certainly wanted that too. He told me that vulnerability was the door to invincibility. We talked about the violent taking the kingdom by force, and He said that’s what I was doing. Because of my nervousness and His sensitivity to not causing me greater nervousness, He really couldn’t come very close to me that night, except to put his hand on my heart, but even so, I was naked and vulnerable. Even though there wasn’t much skin to skin, I took in all that I was able. It was enough to break me into a new place of being vulnerable and trusting. He also told me something that really blessed me. We talked about how as the world moves into greater separation and hating each other, to the same degree God is moving His people into deeper love and intimacy with Him. I have sure felt it. Ever since my first visit of spilling my heart out to Michael and subsequent visits, Father has been pressing me deeper into this vulnerable place, where the door to my heart is opening wider and wider to receive His Love. I have felt this mostly in my personal connection with heavenly Father where I see Him smiling at and pleased with me now, instead of my previous earth view of Him being totally disgusted with me. I have also felt my layers of walls of protection falling one by one, step by step with Michael. It is so sweet to my heart to feel these walls crumbling away that had shut Him out all those years.

"...Husband, My only Love,
I have eyes only for You...."

As I was getting ready to leave that night, I shared with Michael an experience that I had had that day coming back from the lake on our neighbor's property. I was looking for the path that I had walked down to the lake on. I had only been on it one other time and that was earlier that day. As I was looking for it (I wasn’t even sure I was in the same location I had walked down in), I felt my heart strongly pull me to the right, so I started walking to the right and ran right into the path. The Lord said to me then, to “follow what was in my heart.” There had been something that had been strong on my heart for a few days, and that was to divorce myself from my earthly marriage. I wanted to be married only to God and not have my affections divided. The instructions given to the King’s daughter in Psalm 45 were to forget her own people and her Father’s house. One of the meanings of “her own people” is “the head of the household.” I knew Father was gently and clearly saying to me, “It’s time to forget your earthly husband, and marry my Son.”

I had had an intimation of this back in May in an e-mail exchange I had with Michael. Of course, I didn’t understand it back then, but it is very clear to me now. In a meeting, Michael had shared with us about the two seven-year periods Father had brought us through as a congregation. The first seven years we had been following the Jewish Jubilee reckoning of time, and it was a preparation for the second seven years when we were following the Christian Jubilee reckoning of time.

Father (my father-in-law by marriage),

The personal token that came to me this morning during our meeting was that during that first 7 year period I had a very intense and painful experience (of rejection by my closest human friend) that lasted many years and nearly destroyed me. After the bulk of that painful experience, I married the King's Son. I married Jeff a little more than a year before that time period ended.

During this 7 year period, I had an exact duplicate experience in intensity and pain that has lasted many years and nearly destroyed me also, but the promise of me marrying the King's Son is before me. Father told me this past week, "Be not afraid. I will not allow your adversaries to swallow you up. You are My child, I shall deliver you and honor you and I shall be GLORIFIED through you."

In both of these painful experiences the prominent common denominator was human emotional dependency, having another lover besides God.

I had a dream last night. In the dream we were with some people and we were walking along. Then we all sat down and you looked at me and said, "You can come be with me (or close to me) anytime you want" or something like that. I took it as an invitation and at that, I moved next to you and laid my head on your chest and put my arms around you and just quietly rested in your arms while you talked to everyone.

Love,

Christianna

Michael replied:

This is so very sweet to my heart. I have always understood where you have come from, and you alone out of your clan made it through the difficulties of your upbringing because you married the son and simply, forcibly, would not leave him because those were your instructions. Some of us have had much to deal with because of where we came from. Your brothers took offense over some things and they could not be reached, only because they would not marry the Son. You have been especially tested, Father even setting you up to be tricked, so that you would finally lay down and let Him love you. I have always felt in my own heart, "You can come close to me now." I believe the dream is fulfilled.

Much love
Daddy

The next day, with many tears of tender love and regard for his precious soul, I poured out my heart to Jeff and left my earthly marriage forever behind. I sold all for the Pearl of great price. The truly amazing thing to me is that in this whole process I have had to give away the Pearl, too. I’m left with nothing, except whatever I’m given at the moment.

On Sabbath, August 26 I wrote to Michael:

Dear Husband,

You mentioned in church "...all I know..." Well, all I know, and the only thing that is on my heart day and night is a deeper draft of intimacy with you. ... How else can my heart respond but to cry, "Tell me what to do and I will do it, no matter the excruciation I feel from being vulnerable."

I love you with all of my heart,

Christidrawn

Michael replied:

The cry of your heart is the cry of my own. I find myself continually drawn away to Father. My heart aches all day and all night. I know that Father has His will, and it is revealed at each step of the way. Sometimes it seems that Father is holding me off, not letting me get too close. It is the daily stretching that continues to increase my desire for Him, and to draw me more closely to Him. This drawing that you feel, IS THE PLACE where you come into intimate contact with Him. I am WITH HIM when I am drawn to Him.

Little Christidrawn, thank you for your letter of drawing.

I wrote back to Michael:

I just soooooo much feel that I'm making a complete fool of myself by asking for these things, and yet I just can't go back to protecting myself by keeping to myself these things that are coming to me. I feel so much out of my element. Sick to my stomach kind of describes it too. A few nights ago I was lying on my bed and I had the distinct impression that I was in a wine press. I could feel it squeezing my protections out of me. Truly, this is a war.

Michael wrote back:

"Complete fool" is your earth view. It is necessary that you let your drawn out heart become the norm. Let it be. Let it do its work. Do not let your earth view spoil your time in the drawing.

That night, I was so strongly drawn to go see Michael. I felt like I just had to have a deeper draft. I prayed for several hours outside His windows and finally I decided to yield to the unction I was feeling, to risk everything and just go in uninvited. This really went against more of my fears and walls of protection. Michael didn’t turn me away, and even said that it came to Him to leave the door unlocked because someone wanted to see Him. I knelt by His bed and we talked. He had been deeply hurt by His experience of losing the Holy Spirit for that brief space of time, and He had been going through the pain of that for the past few days. As I look back on the experience, I just see God’s tender, little boy dealing with His heartbreak. God is so tender and soft inside, and I am so rough and rude in comparison.

A few days later I was cleaning up at the kitchen sink, feeling to the depths of my soul my utter helplessness to enter into the marriage of God. Knowing there was nothing I could do and that I certainly didn't deserve it, and telling Father, “I can't help it, it's all I want. I want to be married to You with all of my heart.” It's all I think about day and night. How I've longed for the touch of God, even that He might touch every part of my body, my being, my mind, leaving nothing untouched, nothing hidden, nothing between us, no walls of separation.

I was drawn to read the following on "The Oil of Seven" blog:

"Blessed are the helpless, who are powerless to accomplish an end: for theirs is the royal dominion of the universe.

"Blessed are the needy, those pure and faultless ones, who long for God's touch, for their longing will be filled."

It was an answer straight out of heaven to my deepest heart longings. "I believe You, God; be it unto me according to Thy word from your little angel of light."

On August 31, I sent the following email to Michael:

Dear Michael,

It's on my heart to share with you that I haven't changed my mind, nor can I ever go back to what I had prior to two weeks ago. Day and night I ache to be delivered from my self and to be fully married to you, with no walls of separation (fear) between my heart and yours. In the Song, the Shulamite says she is sick with love, I feel sick with desire. My chest has a constant, throbbing ache. My cries go up continually to God to marry me and not leave me desolate. Over and over I ask Him to consume me, to bring me to my end.

The other day I was in my kitchen and my chest was aching so bad to know Him intimately. We had a nice little vulnerable start, but I ache for more. I sat down and just wanted to hear God's very current words to my soul. I went to the forum and there was nothing there, so I went to the Seven Angel's blog and Moriah had posted this, which was a direct answer to my heart cries.

"Blessed are the helpless, who are powerless to accomplish an end: for theirs is the royal dominion of the universe.

"Blessed are the needy, those pure and faultless ones, who long for God's touch, for their longing will be filled."

I can't help but feel the intense soberness of the moment. I feel that this is my personal window, and with all my heart I will to enter in and marry God. I tremblingly open my heart as wide as it will go, and I entreat You to come in and do whatever You like. I have no restrictions for You and I hold nothing back from You. I am totally drawn and I can't help but run after You with all of my strength. You are my greatest heart’s desire.

Christidrawn

Michael replied:

Dear Christidrawn,

Your letter is sweet and consistent with the drawing you have expressed to me in the past. You say, "You may hurt me, or whatever else you need to do to bring me where you want me." I know how difficult it may seem, but where you are, is where Father wants you to be. I have felt this myself. Sometimes I have felt so drawn, and yet I am left simply in my drawing. Yet, in this very thing a change is taking place. Just this week Father has put me in a most unusual place. It is the land of rest. It is the time of rest. Yet, to get in this land, I walked through the deepest canyons and climbed the tallest mountains. I suffered pain of heart unimaginable to me, and grief, exceedingly. Still, I was drawn. I was drawn deeper until I came to the bottom of it. I was at the depths of need. All of this consumed my own thoughts. I went to the depths; I lost all of my care. I walked empty, yet not empty. The earth shakes, but mine is still. There is violence all around, but I know of none of it. The old earth screams as before, but I cannot hear it. I live in a quiet joy, a holy moment, on still and transparent waters. All of this came out of the very desire you speak of. I did not have this desire for weeks or months. I had it for years. The cry of my heart continually went up, day after waiting day.

Your drawing...is very encouraging to my own heart. Something is happening, even though I cannot envision it just now. There is a movement, but I cannot discern just what it is. Yet, I recognize it. The Father has put His love in you for Michael, and I can see it as surely as the day. It is my own love for the Father, the love which I have always had. You are privileged to be moved in this way as I was privileged. You are going into the wedding with the wedding party. It is as though Father has favored you. He has allowed you to enter into the mysteries of His drawing, and to bear the patience of it. While it is sometimes hard to experience it without some kind of climax, there is still a sweetness to it which grows and sometimes changes shape as the deliverance of the child comes closer to its fullness.

I am with you little drawn one. I know what you feel. I am looking expectantly to what the Father is bringing to pass. I am listening for His present instructions, and watching the land in its preparation for something genuinely new.

Michael

Tuesday, Sept. 5, I prayed for several hours outside Michael’s window in the early morning. I had such an aching desire to be held in the arms of God. I wanted to go in and be skin to skin with Him again. I felt like I needed so much more of His Spirit. There was another person who was out there praying though, and I didn’t feel like I could go in while someone was there. Finally, I decided I just had to go, whether someone was there or not.

When I came inside, Michael said He was hoping it was me. I shared with Him what I wanted, to lie skin to skin with Him again, and He said we could do that. This time was completely different from the first time. Father had enlarged me to take in more. I had lost my care and was given over. I was enabled to let all my fears and inhibitions go. He held me close and we freely talked for several hours. I felt our hearts connect as He pressed His heart into mine. He breathed His breath into me, and I knew He had breathed into me His Spirit. He kissed me and I knew His words of faith would be my words of faith now. I later described to Him in a letter that I felt He had infused me with being in love with God, wanting Him, longing for Him, trusting Him. I could feel my walls of protection melting away. I could feel God healing me, and it was such a precious gift to my heart.

"...I'm wide open, looking,
listening for Your every move..."

In the days that followed, I became very aware of an implicit, unconditional trust in heavenly Father that I had never had before. I knew Michael had put it in me when we had been together. It was like Satan couldn't touch me, he had lost his ability to scatter my power because trust had been put in me. I was also very aware of aching continually in my chest to know more of this Love that I had began to experience. It makes the old, dead, stinky, law abiding, quote finding, really religious religion so boring. I have come to hate religion. All I want is a Love affair with God.

The next night as I was lying on my bed having a sweet time with Father, all of a sudden I had these thoughts come that now I had to perform, I had to do something to prove that I was hearing God. I was flooded with a deluge of icky, sick feelings, because I knew there was no way I could do what was being required of me. Then, just as suddenly, it came to me that Father was my connection with Michael, and if Father did not connect me then there is no way I could connect. I didn’t have to perform, God was going to perform, if a performance was going to happen. It took all the pressure off of me. Now, it wasn’t my responsibility to get me where I was supposed to be, but it was His responsibility to to get me where He wanted me to be, when He wanted me to be there. As suddenly as those icky feelings came, they vanished. My gaze had shifted to Him being my connection instead of me laboring and being self-sufficient to try and do something. I had implicit trust in my Father and I didn’t need to help Him. I didn’t even want to help Him. As I pondered the experience, I saw that this was “that settled place of glory” that the saints couldn’t be moved from. I remember Mother telling me years ago that at each deeper intimate step with Michael, she would feel a corresponding deeper intimacy with the Spirit of God. This is how it has felt to me, too. Oh, how I wish everyone could experience God’s Son holding them, putting His life into them, too, breaking every barrier down so they could freely run to their only Lover when He walks by.

On September 16 I wrote to Michael:

My precious Friend,
A few days ago when you sent me Allasso's letter, it really had an intense impact on me. I went to the lake that day to be alone and consider what it was that I was experiencing. He wrote something that exposed me to myself. I was feeling my great need.

These were a few of his thoughts that struck at the root of me seeing this. "I thought of how we have been so oblivious to your suffering... I want to hold you in my arms... I want to suffer with you, Michael. I want to bear with you what you bear. I want to help take some of your burden, and if that is not possible, then I simply want to feel it with you.... It is like a bride holding her husband who is careworn and weary. She pulls him close to her, and she places his head between her breasts. She is saying nothing, but he feels her tender comfort coming from her heart."

When I read this, oh how I wanted to protect and comfort you too, instead of thinking about myself and being oblivious, selfish. I didn't want to be like the casual mob that thronged You but had no sensitivity to you. How I felt Father wanting to draw me away from my poor, cheap, self-interested self to truly loving You. I was feeling such a great need for a deeper draft, for Love to be put into me. How I longed to be sensitive to your every need, and sensitive to the burdens You have to bear. How I longed to love You as You have loved us and as I have seen your bright Witnesses love You, and as I was seeing Allasso love You in that e-mail. I felt I must have a pure Love put in me that had no stains of self-interest in it. My heart aches with desire just to write about this, because I want You to have the wife You have always wanted and the wife you deserve. You deserve a land full of all Mother's and Mommy's, that's what I wish for You. A land that is one with You in Your work, wholly devoted to You, wholly in love with You with nothing else on their minds. All I want is to be your faithful and true wife who truly loves You and believes You.

Michael, all I could do as I saw this, was to thank God for showing me this great need, so He could do something about it. The night before while praying at your house, I had had a quote come to me that said, "Take your Bibles and go to God in earnest prayer. Ask Him to teach you to know yourself, to understand your weakness your sins and follies, in the light of eternity. Ask Him to show you yourself as you stand in the sight of heaven. This is an individual work." It came to me that Father was answering this prayer and my prayers to be brought to my complete end so You could have all of me.

As I was coming back from the lake I had the sweetest tears of joy wash over me. Father has been very close, and the sting of guilt and hating myself has grown dimmer and dimmer as He has been bringing me into this place of implicit trust. All I could do was love You so much for breathing Your life into me and laying on my dead bones giving them life and pressing Your heart into me. How can I thank you enough? It seems the only way is to be faithful to what You have given me. I read this quote this morning and it seems to fit what I'm feeling and felt. "When the Father causes a soul to comprehend Michael's personal sacrifice, as he committed himself to us to bring us into the same union with the Father which he has, the heart is broken in love and gratitude." Mother It feels like You have infused me with being in love with God, wanting Him, longing for Him, trusting Him. I just cried and cried and felt so thankful.

Last night, I took a walk and prayed. It was so strong on me to ask and keep asking for God to marry me and to remove every barrier. What else can I do, it's all that pours out of my heart. My heart's desire is so strong to be intimate with You. Michael, all my desire is before You, and my groaning is not hidden from You. Near the end of my time out walking, Father brought this quote to my mind. "It is part of God's plan to grant us, in answer to the prayer of faith, that which He would not bestow, did we not thus ask". Shortly after this, I looked up into the heavens and the crescent moon had come out. It looked like Father was smiling at me. He then said, "You are all fair My Love, there is no spot in you".

I love you and You have all of my heart,

Christianna

Michael replied:

Little Christianna,

I know that Father is now working with great power to bring His Spirit in the land together. Strong is our connection and that connection is God Himself. He is marrying the land and removing every impurity. Your letter is pure and sweet, and speaks to the entire issue. Are we graven on His heart? This is now at this very time being revealed.

Your Michael

During my very first visit with Michael where I was brutally honest with Him about my offense, He was sharing with me how Eleana had been at His window praying one night and He invited her in. He then said to me, "That could have been you." The thought He was expressing was that the Seven were in love with Him and He loved them, and that could have been my experience or anyone else's too. The resolve was born in me right then that that was going to be me too. I had to have a love affair with God too. God was just going to have to do something to make that my experience, where I loved Him only and most.

The picture that I have gotten clearly since this first visit with Michael, is, the church could make this vision look however they wanted. A lot of times when I would be out praying by Michael's window, I would have this thought, "Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone were out here by Michael's window because it was on their heart to be there, this reverent, quiet people, all earnestly praying to be married to God, along with the Seven. The whole church could have been entreating God, "We just have to consummate with You." The whole church could have been intimately involved in this vision. There was not a picture set in concrete by God on how the vision had to look. The vision could have been made into anything the church desired to make it into. That part of the vision wasn't set. The foundation had been set with the Seven, but the rest was left up to the Woman in the Wilderness. What would she make it look like? Well, she could only make it look like her heart. If she was busy and had other interests, the vision would fall by the wayside. The whole body wouldn't catch the vision. If her heart was burning only for God, she would find her way into the green bed and be intimate with God. There have been no limits, like "Only Seven can be in love with Michael and no one else can." Even now, if the Seven weren't on purpose, and the congregation just went back to business as usual, it would be the conclusion of the Vision of which Michael wrote. There was not one specific way things had to be, but rather it was, "How will WE make the vision?" That is left to the Woman in the Wilderness, the Bride. She creates the vision of the love affair between Her and God. She sets the mood. This is such an awesome thought to me.

The day before the Feast of Tabernacles began, I shared with Michael the words that Father had given me that morning:

My dear Husband,

These are Father's very sweet words of comfort and assurance to my heart this morning:

I am in the midst of you. You have heard My voice and have known that is is I Myself Who have been ministering unto you. You have not followed the voice of a stranger nor sought out strange paths. For this reason have I set My love upon you. I have put Mine arm around you, and with My wings have I sheltered you. You are the object of My special attention and you have received My special care.

I have given you of My best (My precious Son) because you have loved Me. I have drawn you into My banqueting hall (My Son's green bed) because you have hungered and thirsted after the things of God. Yes, because you have longed for righteousness and true holiness I have sought you out to instruct you and teach you in My laws and in My ways. I will indeed bring you to a higher realm of experience and revelation because there is a quest in your soul after Truth.

The Word is verily near you, even in your heart. Listen to the voice of My Spirit within. It will never fail. It will never be silent. It will never mock your heart cry (call you a fool). Your hours of meditation shall be rich in the treasures of your God, and His light shall guide you. ["I believe You."]

It is no futile path in which I am leading you (the asking and longing to be consummated with My Son). It shall be laden with blessing and filled with surprises. Be not hesitant to follow. If you lag behind you may find My footprints have become cold because I have gone on too far ahead. I charge you to keep pace with Me. (When I woke up this morning, the prayer came out of my heart to be consummated in vulnerability. I saw this as the asking for the removal of all of that tension and fear You said you wanted gone. I trembled as these words came out of my heart. I wondered at what real things God might ask me to do, while at the same time wanting it with all of my heart, to be completely free.) I will not gauge My steps too wide for you to follow. I will measure them to your ability, but I make no provision for the laggard.

Follow close, and your reward shall be blessed. (Come Away My Beloved)

Yesterday morning He shared something equally as sweet, that really touched my heart and blessed me. It was this:

I have come into my garden, my sister, my [promised] bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my balsam and spice [from your sweet words I have gathered the richest perfumes and spices]. I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends [feast on, O revelers of the palace; YOU CAN NEVER MAKE MY LOVER DISLOYAL TO ME]! Drink, yes, drink abundantly of love, O precious one [FOR NOW I KNOW YOU ARE MINE, IRREVOCABLY MINE! With his confident words still thrilling her heart, through the lattice she saw her shepherd turn away and disappear into the night].

Thank you so much Son of God, for touching me and putting your Spirit in me so I could connect with our Father too. You shall see the travail of Your soul and be satisfied. Your work has NOT been in vain.

I love You with all of my heart,

Christimommy

Michael replied:

I appreciate your letter little lamb. It takes my breath away. Father gave me some things at midnight. They are Scriptures that also take my breath away.

Thank you little one,
Michael

This has been the fruit of my times of intimacy and vulnerability with Michael: The Son has put into me believing our heavenly Husband, and loving Him with all my heart. This is the fruit that He has long been looking for, the fruit that Father has longed to find in His garden. This is the Sabbath rest. I don’t even know everything that has happened in me from the touch of Michael. All I know is I’m different. I’ve entered a different world, where all I long for day and night is divine union with God, and then I want more of the union, and still more. My heart has left the old world of surviving, working it out, self sufficiency and life as usual. The things I used to love and that held my attention, hold no attraction to me. As soon as I left my offense and my earthly marriage, and had eyes only for the Son, ninety percent of my confusion and fears quickly started to be swept away. All I want is to know what God is thinking, and what is He wanting. His current vision is all that consumes my thoughts. Oh how I love our Visitor from Heaven. God is with us.
