August 6th, 2006: Sunday
When walking up toward the gazebo, I saw a patchwork quilt laid out all over the land on Prayer Mountain. Its patches were bright primary colors: intense yellow, bright red, electric blue like a patchwork quilt for a child’s room. In each square a living picture was playing. Each held a story or stories.
These stories were playing at the same time. But not all of the pictures were of people. Some were of the fauna on the mount: squirrels, birds, etc. Their stories were being told also.
Every so often, another patch was added to the quilt and began to play its story within its little square. The squares were many colors and sown together with a heavy, red thread – which later all felt represented the blood of Jesus. There was a joy and childlikeness about this quilt.
I thought to myself that the whole earth is full of His glory.
Suddenly a mountain shot up from the top of this ridge. I heard a voice say: “The mountain of the Lord will be chief among the mountains. He will rise and all will fall before Him.”
I asked: “What does mean?”
The voice answered “Prepare!”
This revelation was one of the most delightful and instructive of the visions shared with me by the Lord on Prayer Mountain. On the surface it was like a never-ending story (because it was growing daily.)
Those within the vision included First Nation peoples, Pioneers, birds, bears, rabbits, etc. Moravians, people groups from other lands and a massive – a monumental number of angels.
It was like a “Living Memory Quilt.” It played out the stories of all those who had come to Prayer Mountain… so that, if you have visited, you are also a part of this “living history” – a Memory Quilt.
Suddenly I realized that I was being recorded… that what I did in this place was significant (even if I thought I was alone.) I realized that, by being here, I was part of God’s testimony about His land and Himself. I was not only part of the witness of His faithfulness to this land but to the Moravians and to all His God-fearing children who have prayed for Him to be glorified by establishing a righteous work on that ridge.
How long had He been declaring His intentions over this land? Who knows – probably from the beginning. This ridge had already been pruned and tested. A group of PhD’s from Tennessee were here on this little mount: they were surveying the top. My husband and I went out to greet them (and in true country fashion – find out what they were doing.) I asked why the land had so little soil on the mountain and one of our visitors told us that the mountain had worn down. “The Brushy Mountains,” he told us “was one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world.” Over the many, many years the mountain had worn down from a peek which could have been as high as the Himalayas to, now, one of the humblest of land rises.
In the eyes of the world, being “less” high is also “less” desirable – usually – lowly – insignificant – but I felt the Father was preparing it. He was making it ready to receive His presence and His glory in His time… like the manger that received the Baby Jesus – the now, lowly ridge could and would receive the Father’s glory.
Even as the sounds of our praises and prayers are reverberating throughout the universe – on and on – forever proclaiming His wonderful name now I realized that all we do in His name is being recorded whether we realize it or not and all is present before Him to be seen again – it is a testimony to His faithfulness and a spiritual record that is being played before the great cloud of witnesses and the angels… a glorious Living Quilt.
ASSURING HIS CHILDREN
But the most important part of the vision came at the end with a proclamation and a promise.
Right at the end, a mountain shot up from the midst of the quilt. It has been prophesied by many reputable seers that our Heavenly Father will be manifested on the ridge – there to meet with and minister Himself to His children. (He has come down before – as when He came down and ate with the 70 elders on the mountain when the children of Israel were in the desert.)
We need Him again in this tangible way in order that His children may know Him better.
The amazing last part of that vision is a restating and a re-pledging of those prophetic promises.
He is coming and we have been told that we have a part to play: “prepare.”
