Usually, when I start my day by making time to pray in the Spirit, it is the Spirit that speaks first when She comes to me from the Father. But on this day, it was my Granddad who art in heaven, our heavenly Father, who spoke first. After weeks of having the temps to drop into the 20s and 30s overnight here in Atlanta, Ga., with mostly rain and very little sun during the day, I searched for a place in my backyard where I could both pray in the Spirit and enjoy the sun on this 60-degree day in February. I found a place behind the tool shed that offered a spot that was unhindered from the sun by the pine trees.
When I closed my eyes and halfway kneeled to the ground, I prayed to God that He would let His Kingdom come. But it was the Father who spoke first from that Holy Ghost which brings the Spirit to me, when He revealed that He would let His Kingdom come to feed my soul with beautiful words that I would translate into beautiful stories. My simple intent was to record what our Father had just said, so that I could use it later in a story, but the second I turned on my iPhone recorder, this is what emerged:
“When I let My Kingdom come to you from heaven, Robert Porter, son of man, My little darling, I let My Kingdom come so that you might have Life and have it more abundantly. My little boo-boo-bear, I know why you’re here, on bending knees, not on your knees, but I know what your intentions are. You’re making time, and basically begging Me, to let My Kingdom come. To feed your soul with lovely words, with delicious tasty words, great bread that you translate into beautiful stories. Sigh! Fear not, My little son of man, and be not afraid. Just keep on doing, Robert, what you are doing. And each and every time you go into your closet, your secret place that is designated as your closet, and shut the world out from the battlefield of your mind, I will let My Kingdom come. I don’t care where in the world your secret place may be, whether you’re out or indoors, when you shut the world out and avail yourself for Me to let My Kingdom come to you from heaven, grandchild, I will always let My Kingdom come. I take great delight in letting My Kingdom come. And you know, you understand, Robert, that when I let My Kingdom come, My Kingdom comes from standing before the throne of the Great I Am, your Daddy the King, and from your Savior, Robert, who is at the right hand of your Pappy, boo, the Prince of Peace in My Kingdom of heaven, hallelujah! but a great high Priest in the living Church of the living God,” shared the Father.
After a deep Sigh from the Spirit, it was at this point that the Spirit began to speak:
“This, Robert, this right here, My son, is your exceedingly great reward, when My heavenly Father lets Me come. Hallelujah! Love you, boo-boo-bear. Hallelujah! You are rewarded with the fruit of love that I bring to you from your Daddy the King, that peace which surpasses all understanding when I come to you from your Savior Man, sweet-cheek, Jesus, hallelujah! your Jew-boy Friend, and joy, unspeakable joy, My son, from My Father’s Holy Ghost which brings Me to you, when She rains down living water (spiritual energy) for your soul, with living bread (words) from Me, Christ the Holy Spirit.
“You have a Friend in Jesus, little Gupper,” the Spirit continued. “Someone who understands the weakness of the flesh, having been flesh. So when you need someone to talk to, even in the midnight hour, someone in God’s Kingdom that understands the flesh, you can call on Jesus. And He will be here, in a hurry, I swear, by Me, when you go into your secret place and pray to our heavenly Father to let Me come to you in the name of Jesus. I may be the Bride of Christ, and will come to you from Jesus, but I will always be your Father’s everlasting Kingdom from above called Jerusalem, New Jerusalem, after the marriage of the Lamb, but I am called to feed your soul with righteousness and truth, while our Father’s Comforter in the Holy Ghost rains down living water for your soul, when My Father lets Me come. And the totality of the fruit of the Spirit that I enable you to produce is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance, which is self control. You had to learn how to control your flesh and not allow your flesh to control you. You are now a fruitful creature of the Most High God. And My Father letting Me come to ensure that you remain fruitful is your exceedingly great reward,” shared the Spirit.
Let me just clarify that my secret place is any place of quiet for my mind that I call a closet, where my mind can be free from the distractions of the world, to both enjoy the Presence of the Spirit and just listen to what She has to say when She comes upon me. While the Spirit usually speaks to my soul through that still small voice behind my two ears, I’ve recently learned to listen to what the Spirit has to say by listening to the words coming out of my mouth with my own two ears, recognizing that this process of the Spirit using my mouth to speak is called prophesizing, which is what God has chosen me to do as His servant to come called Elijah.
The words I managed to capture on my iPhone recorder from the Father were revealed to my soul straight from the Holy Ghost, which is One with the Father:
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” (1 John 5:7, KJV).
I remember the first time our Father spoke to my soul, back in the late 90s, when He said that He loved me, and explained that those waves of energy that were rolling towards my body as He spoke, were symbolic of living water from His Holy Ghost. Jesus was born of blood from the womb of the virgin Mary, born again of the water that proceeds from the Holy Ghost when He went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist. This is also when the Holy Ghost brought the Spirit of fire in the Holy Spirit to anoint Jesus as the Messiah and a King of the Jews.
This is basically what Jesus’ angel was trying to get across to John with this vision that he gave him while he was on the Island of Patmos:
“And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.” (Revelation 12:1-2, KJV).
The woman clothed with the sun is symbolic of the Holy Ghost, and the sun is symbolic of the holy Sun of righteousness and truth in the Holy Spirit. The moon under her feet is symbolic of Satan being a lesser light than the Sun, who had after all been created a bright and morning star (angel) by the Father, but his light had been dimmed after falling from grace, and was under the feet (authority) of our Father’s Holy Ghost. The crown of twelve stars is symbolic of the twelve apostles that had been called of the Father and chosen of God to follow the Lamb. The Holy Ghost was with child when She overshadowed the womb of the virgin Mary and sowed our Father’s holy Seed to mate with her virgin egg. The Holy Ghost travailed and pained to be delivered of God’s Man-Child when Jesus was baptized into the living water that proceeds from the Holy Ghost when He went to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. Jesus came by both water and blood.
“This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.” (1 John 5:6, KJV).
Granddad is obviously greater than my Dad in the living God. When the living God was getting ready to return to the Father in heaven, after walking as One with the Lamb of His Father, He spoke these words concerning the Father being greater than Him:
“Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28, KJV).
This day that I have been called to prepare the way for, the great and dreadful day of the Lord, also the day when the saints will go marching into heaven, those that will have washed their robes (angels) in the blood of the Lamb before they died from the land of the living, is that day when God will return again to receive the apostles of the Lamb unto Himself, that where He is today in heaven with the Father, they will be also. And Jesus will Shepherd their souls as they wait as joint-heirs with Jesus to inherit the Kingdom of heaven for a millennial, while the Lord God Almighty will reign in the earth as One during the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
While Granddad spoke first on this day, when our Father allowed His Kingdom from heaven to come to me, the Spirit gave me a lot to think about when She spoke. But what impressed me most and something I will forever cherish… “Granddad Spoke First.”
