That night, while eating the bread of life, I saw JESUS. He was next to a tree as the Nordic North Wind (much like the illustration). He said "what is happening in the North" (I sensed He was just west of Finland), way high in the sky then breathed a blast toward Russia saying, "I am in control".
Then in drinking from the cup I first saw the trunk of another tree - it was strong and the Holy Spirit called it the "bradberry tree". The Holy Spirit said, "Speak only what I speak in your ear" What He speaks to us reaches deep inside like the wine going down as we drink.
Then what we call the "Overflow" we get from Psalm 23: At His Table He, "anoints your head with oil (of revelation) and (it causes your heart) your cup overflows".
So I shared my experience with Camille... we smile and share like two children who share a secret. She looks deeply in my eyes and listens. I share from my heart as best I can and if I stumble to find the words she helps me back up with quickened insight from the Holy Spirit. Who would have thought that communion deepens love and helps us to see each other as He sees us! As our hearts beat together with the Lord we recognize that ours are beating together as well.
I said almost breathless, "I felt that seeing Jesus as the North Wind may have something to do with all the activity in Russia today. Jesus said, "I am in control". So it was something to give us His peace in a time of uncertain unrest I think. It may also have something to do in days to come." But I didn't understand the tree near Him until taking the cup.
While drinking the wine, His blood - I first saw this strong tree trunk the Holy Spirit called a 'bradberry tree'. (Later when I googled "Bradberry Tree" there was a link to Debbie Bradberry who has 505 unusual TREE images on Pinterest!)
So 'Bradberry Tree' led me to a link on the internet not the name of a tree! (Yes, the Lord uses all facilities available to help us understand what He is trying to share with us.) It is amazing. I scanned through the hundreds of trees and when I saw one of them I knew it was what the Holy Spirit was leading me to. It is the one struck by lightening.
Then I heard the Holy Spirit whisper, "Speak only what I speak in your ear." I told Camille that I thought the Holy Spirit was talking about the ear of my heart." That it was the ear of my spirit that is spoken to by the voice of the Lord. Its the sense that when others hear us speak about these things we experience in Communion it needs to be from JESUS nothing invented or our speculative theory.
I sensed because it was in drinking from the cup it had to do with the Blood of JESUS. Camille said, "The blood of JESUS speaks! "and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking." We are still talking about this over a week later. (See Isaiah 33 & Psalm 15).
The Two Trees - One is Jesus the other is us. He will take our (unassuming tree) weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious (trees) bodies like his own, using the same power (like breathing over nations)with which he will bring everything under his control. Philippians 3:21.
Camille and I both understand, "You can't invent this stuff!" The Lord wants to share the bread of His presence with us and wants us to be intoxicated with His love. The bread is a feast and the wine quickens the life He gives us. If the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you He quickens (like lightening) your mortal/physical body! Romans 8:11
"And He sent out arrows, and scattered them, Lightning, and routed them. "Then the channels of the sea appeared, The foundations of the world were laid bare By the rebuke of the LORD, At the blast of the breath of His nostrils." 2 Samuel 22:15-16 Really Lord? Really?
