The garment that is worn by those in the body of Christ for the formal betrothal was rescued from Satan’s Trophy Room in 1996. Its richness lies in the nature of the fabric. But the design, as you can see, allows it to be worn by a woman or man. The crown is the one being prepared above for me when my “race is done”. It was borrowed for the ceremony.
Many have asked to see what this garment looks like. Both pictures come right from of my 1996 journal. The crown is different for each person. Mine is incomplete (therefore the empty sockets).
The Formal Betrothal Garment: Vision: 1996
The Lord and I were in Satan’s Trophy Room in the Mid-Heaven.
The Embroidered Robe
We began to walk toward the acquisition at the very back – the embroidered robe.
It was full length with long sleeves. The design of the garment was simple. A man or woman could have worn it. Its richness lay in the embroidered work that was executed in white gold of exceptional purity. The embroidery arose from the robe. The pattern was intricate and exceptionally beautiful. As I moved a little before the garment, all the colors within the radiance of the Father seemed to play across its surface. 1
The Embroidery
I had no idea a garment could communicate that which was of the character of Christ. Still, I wanted to move slightly before the embroidery to ascertain what was woven into the fabric.
I received the impression of “a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”2 The garment also reflected “bearing with one another” and “forgiving each other.”3 The thread that had the greatest weight and was the most frequently used was “love”.4
These were part of the character of Christ that Paul enumerated in Colossians 3:12-14. He had told the body of Christ alive at that time to “put on” this garment. If he had told them to put it on, they must have had it in their possession but were not wearing it. I gathered that sin had eventually allowed the garment to be taken from God’s children.5 Sad. We had great need of it.
Jesus spoke to me quietly. “The garment is for the soul and heart. It is an inner garment that becomes visible through actions, through decisions that effect unity [oneness in Christ].”6
He continued, “I am the new, inner garment – others rather than self. The supreme Other is God [the Father] Himself – His rights, His needs, and His desires before all.7 I have purchased you for our Father. I have washed you and clothed you with garments of holiness and beauty, garments of salvation and righteousness.8 Anna, clothe yourself in Me –
garments of salvation for the whole person [body, soul, heart, and spirit]. Clothe yourself in Me – attributes of righteousness that are beautiful to God [the Father].9
I turned back to look at the robe. It was exquisite. The Lord’s virtues woven into the garment had brought the body of Christ into “the perfect bond of unity.” Paul had said this. How we need it now.
He continued, “The embroidered garment is to be worn by those who are the bride. It was handed down in our family. Those who were entering into fuller union with Me wore it. There is none like it. It belongs to our household.”
As I looked at the robe, I realized that to enter into deeper relationship with Christ meant to enter into a deeper covenant with His body. The two are inseparable.10
The Crown
Vision – The Throne Room of our Heavenly Father: 1996
My Father continued, “Anna, My Child, you will need to borrow your crown for the ceremony. You will wear it for this special occasion. But
it will not be placed into your hands until your service on Earth is completed.”1
A crown of gold came from my heavenly Father. He held it higher than my eye level. The crown had two gems. The large emerald that my Father had given me was in the center. The slightly smaller emerald given to me by Jesus was on the side. There were golden sockets for other jewels. No other gemstones were present at this time, however.
He continued, “I have added to your crown twenty-four sapphires.”2 These immediately appeared, encircling the large emerald on the front.
“Thank You, Daddy,” I said. I wondered how I merited these gems.
My Father answered my thoughts. “You cannot earn the uncreated,” He said. “But you can grow up [into Christ] to manifest the uncreated.3 “Something borrowed,” He added, “something blue”4
The Attendants
My Father continued, “Twenty-four stars attend this crown.5 They will bring you the covenant garment, your crown, and your veil. These will dress you and attend you at the ceremony.”
I saw that the crown had twenty-four points around the top. I wondered if there was some connection between the points of the crown and the angelic attendants. But He did not give an explanation.
“Is there something that I need to do, Daddy?” I asked.
He answered, “Sleep with henna on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet as an outward sign [of an inner grace].6 My Son is coming,” He said. “Be ready.”
Twenty-four angels that looked like young women appeared on the sea of glass. They were dressed in white. My Father handed to them the crown, the covenant garment, and the veil. The gown and veil also came from His own person.
“My child,” the Father continued, “you have My blessing.” His glory came from Him and kissed my forehead.7
“Thank you, Daddy,” I said.
He picked me up and placed me in front of the twenty-four angels. “Go with your attendants,” He said.
We all bowed. Then the angels parted to allow me to pass through their number. They escorted me from the throne room.
Instantly we were walking across the meadow in the Garden of God.
