Jesus in the Jungle - 6

WHY? Why is God planning something spectacular on an island in the South Pacific that He wants captured on camera? Knowing God, He has numerous reasons but I’m pretty sure about two of them. Early in February, He spoke these words, “I am invisible to too many. Make me known.” That’s pretty straightforward and doesn’t need any further explanation. But it does remind me of an unusual experience I had in 1999 in Rome, Italy when God first shared His heart with me that He felt neglected by man. I was on a prayer journey with about 30 others and the night before we were to visit St. Peter’s Basilica I had a dream that took place in the courtyard of St. Peter’s. I saw a hole in the ground in the plaza shaped like a heart and suddenly lots and lots of people were walking on top it and didn’t even notice where they were walking. All I saw were feet, no faces. The Lord said, “See my people are trampling all over My heart and they don’t even care.” It made me sad. The next morning when I awoke the dream was still with me. It was so real to me that I had the group I was with make a circle around where I had seen the heart cutout in the dream. While standing in this circle in the plaza we told the Lord how we felt about Him. It was very moving and then I lifted my head and saw Jesus walking into the cathedral. His back was to me, he appeared to be about 8 feet tall. He was holding a sword in his right arm held high and I heard the words in my spirit say, “Go now and conquer.” It was all I could do to stand. I have worn some kind of heart shaped jewelry almost every day since that unforgettable moment to remind me He has a heart that can be broken.

Since that time He has spoken the words, “Reveal My heart” over and over to me.

In July of 2015, I was having a cup of coffee on the porch talking with Him. What He impressed upon me was, “I want you to tell stories that show how much I love my children and how I intervene in their lives. I want them to know how much I love them.” In other words, I was not to focus on how we seek Him but how He seeks us out. I asked the Lord if He could give me a verse of scripture that reinforced what I felt like He had just said. I immediately saw a verse in my mind. It was big, thick letters….a font you would never use in marketing! The verse was Jeremiah 31:3. The image I saw was so unusual I immediately looked it up. Here’s what I found. “I’ve never quit loving you and never will. Expect love, love, and more love!” (The Message) That made a believer out of me! A few weeks later my husband and I were traveling in Colorado. He went to a business meeting and it was my birthday so I was just hanging out. My thoughts about the day’s activities were interrupted by the Lord when He said, “Ask me for a sign that what I have told you is going to come to pass.” I knew He was referring to the plans He has for spreading His story through media. I responded with, “Lord, I don’t feel like I have a right to ask you for a sign. I should walk in faith.” He prompted me to believe for a sign. I heard an instrumental song in my head and felt He was telling me that song was going to play on the radio in the car the next day. When it played I was to know it was a message from Him.

The next day we had a 4-hour drive and halfway into our trip that song came on the radio! Tears poured out and I grabbed my cell phone and recorded the music coming out of the speaker. Here it is.
