145. Follow Our Spirit
Posted 11-27-2019

Hello friends!

First, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Gosh, there is so much to be grateful for!

In this newest post there is an underlying theme of "follow the Spirit, and receive our protection". I hope you enjoy it. There has also been a theme of an impending whirlwind that has been spoken of in the scriptures. 

Warmly,
R

A. R's Personal Journal Entry, November 17, 2019, Sunday

1. After church–I attended the Primary Program at my son's church. During the sacrament prayer I felt that I was above the fallen oak tree, in the air. I could see to the north Lake Beautiful in the distance. I heard the sacrament prayer back in the ward, and then made my covenant in the air on the celestial orb. I had two of my grand daughters next to me on the bench in the ward and one was quite wiggly! I tried to concentrate on what was happening in the celestial orb.

2. Heavenly Father then appeared to be in the air above the fallen oak tree below us. After I partook of the bread back in the ward, Heavenly Father spoke:

'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I accept your covenant, to take upon you the name of Jesus Christ, to always remember us, and to keep our commandments.

3. He then came to my side and turned, and we both looked to the distance at Lake Beautiful. I could see very black skies above the lake, like dark thunderclouds.

4. We then were instantly together over the lake! We were above the water but below the low-lying clouds. It was dark like nighttime for so heavy and thick were the dark clouds that very little sunlight came through. I could see light on the horizons all around on the shores of the lake, but these were far away.

5. 'Raphael, these very dark clouds represent the severe tribulations coming soon to the earth. They will increase in their greatness and heights and breadth. When the cup of my indignation begins to overflow, I will send forth the lightnings of my sore displeasure upon the inhabitants of the earth.'

6. We then were suddenly again above the fallen oak tree. Heavenly Father faced me and spoke again:

'Raphael, when my fierce anger comes upon the inhabitants of the earth, then those dark ominous clouds will come above this fallen oak tree below us. Then will be fulfilled the scripture in D&C 112:24-26:

"Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of morning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord.

And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord; first among those among you, saith the Lord, who have professed to know my name, and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house, saith the Lord."'

7. At this, the primary program started in the ward. I lost connection with my Heavenly Father, and asked that I be able to recall all of the details of the events at the sacrament meeting to be able to write them in my journal when I returned home.

8. Evening–Tonight, I returned from a family party. The family was watching the LDS fireside the "Children and Youth initiative for 2020," with Elder Gong on their TV. By the time I got home, I received an email from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about the same topic.

9. I hadn't ever seen quite a theatrical presentation by the church as I had seen tonight before our family event. While listening at the end of the 1 ½ hour fireside, I tried multiple times to attempt to feel the spirit, or to feel any even slight confirmation from God that anything I had heard was of God. I actually felt just the opposite, that this was not of God! It seemed a little too much like an attempt to be a spectacular demonstration of the church's new app and introduction to the church youth themes and new direction.

I rototilled aged manure and leaves in the new areas of my garden

10. I read the Aaronic Priesthood Quorums theme where the boys recite a prescribed recitation. I wondered if this was something that would be approved of by God? I know that the young women have a similar theme, which I then also read. I don't want to be negative of the content of these themes, only that I wonder if reciting them weekly is necessary or good in the sight of God.

11. It seems to me that the LDS church is working very hard to capture the attention of the youth and their parents. In some ways it all seemed more like a game show instead of an unveiling of a program endorsed by God. I hope to see if God has anything to say on the subject.

12. Tonight I came to the fountain of living water, with the temple nearby. I was facing south, about 20-30 feet from the fountain. I knelt and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come. She then appeared in front of me, between the fountain and me, a little elevated in the air! She seemed sober but very pleasant. I felt her light and acceptance of me. I was so grateful to be in her glorious presence!

13. She spoke: 'Raphael, all that you watched on the Youth Initiative for 2020 with Elder Gong was solely from the minds and creations of those who produced this presentation, and not from us your Gods in any way. We did not inspire the leaders of this church by our Holy Spirit or my Holy Ghost. They are trying to save the youth of their church without our guidance and direction.

14. When the members don't feel our Spirit, they won't have the enthusiasm or determination to continue in the church unless they are trying to please others or are not interested in being truly guided by us their Gods. The LDS church has no way to be differentiated from any other church or organization now since we won't send our Spirit to confirm what they have chosen to do.

15. I will continue to bear witness of all truth to my children by my Holy Ghost for those who sincerely ask of us, their Gods. However, we won't confirm programs, policies, false notions, or false beliefs of the LDS church.

16. You wondered about whether youth in the Church of Christ should regularly recite themes made up by the church, or recitable affirmations. We don't endorse this behavior. Instead, we individually inspire each of our inquiring sons or daughters, and send our Holy Spirit and my Holy Ghost to touch and inspire the inward heart and mind of our children. Each one is at a different point in their progression, and on a different path. One plan does not fit all, such as reciting a gospel theme.

17. You are correct that the presentation tonight was more theatrical, and a show to attempt to attract the youth of the church. This will not save the children from the very strong pull of their society and lures of the world. Only our inspiration, given by revelation to each one, will be sufficient to turn the elect among them from Satan's grasp. We will also send forth our spirit to sink deep into their souls and to be their guide throughout their lives. Those who are our elect will also be transformed into our terrestrial mortal children. We will lead them along.'

18. Heavenly Mother then smiled and extended her hand to me! I stood and took it in mine, and together we walked around the fountain and towards her temple. I don't know what she talked to me about in my subconscious mind. I then watched, from a new perspective somehow, that we soon entered the front north door of her temple together. The door was shut behind us. I then ended my prayer tonight in the name of Jesus Christ.

1. I awoke before my wife and came to pray in my private bedroom that I use. I received this email from S. He had some comforting insights and an experience with our Heavenly Parents that I wanted to share for the benefit of others.

Email from S on Sunday, 11-18-2019:

"R,

. . . I read the word "whirlwind" in my personal scripture study in the last 2 days and it caught my attention. The imagery of the whirlwind of leaves you recorded was special.

I have wondered about the timing of the Terrestrial elevation for all elect prior to the end of 2019 and thought about why now and why at this time.

When I asked about this timing in prayer, an experience from my sister came clearly to my mind.

S.A. told me her 1-year-old daughter saw her and her husband cleaning the walls. Her daughter then went to the closet and grabbed a rag to come clean the walls as she saw her parents doing.

I was asked in prayer what I have seen my Heavenly Parents doing. The answer came to me quickly and surely. I have seen them both standing peacefully and calmly by my side as I saw storms rage in front of me. I felt the need to follow this example of being at peace in calamity, and trusting in their goodness. They never left my side until it was calm again.

I am also excited about the PDF version prior to the end of the year 2019. I believe this timing coincides for a purpose as well.

Your Friend,

S"

My reply, Sunday, 11-17-2019:

"Thank you S for your help in typing, and for your insight. I am wondering also about all of this, and trying to piece things together. I loved the thought of following the examples of our Heavenly Parents in being calm amid the calamities that are coming our way. Thank you for this insight and perspective. I would like to share these thoughts with the others, so may I do so in sharing your email and my comments back to you?

Thanks again S! Have a wonderful week.

Warmly,
R"

Email from S on Monday, 11-18-2019:

"R,

You may share my thoughts as you feel directed to do from our previous email.

Last night, after I completed typing your record, I went to pray prior to bedtime. I had an experience that I wanted to share.

11-17-19 PM

Today I read about "whirlwinds" in Raphael's entry that I typed up and scriptures he recorded. He saw a whirlwind of leaves near the birch tree grove and recorded its symbolic meaning from Heavenly Father.

In prayer, I called upon my Heavenly Parents. I was directed to the desert oasis. I next saw myself standing there. There was a dust devil that went high into the sky approaching me. As it came around me, the dust, dirt, and wind caused me to cover my face with my hands and close my eyes to protect them. Heavenly Mother's voice came to my mind, " You shielded your eyes to protect you from the storm. You will live to see great tragedy and suffering all around you similar to Moroni. This will cause you to want to shield your eyes. We will bless you to see these events through Our eyes. At this time, both my Heavenly Parents appeared standing in the air above me. They were full of light and compassion. She continued, "These events will cause those who suffer and those who cause the suffering to grow and progress in mortality. Some will choose evil, but this allows them to progress to become what they ultimately desired to become according to their will and agency. Those who suffer will also learn in mortality and this will be part of their great learning experience that can only come from a telestial fallen state. This gift we give to you will allow you to see all this suffering with a godly perspective. You will feel love for them who suffer, and sorrow for the poor use of agency of the wicked, but also see divine purpose through it all."

I was grateful for her message and thanked her for this gift. She had completed Her message, and departed with Heavenly Father. I closed my prayer and got ready for bed.

You may share if you desire or not, whatever you feel is best.

Your Friend,

S"

2. S described covering his eyes in a dust devil experience at the desert oasis. I have tried also to shield my own eyes from seeing evil and suffering. It sometimes feels more than I can bear! I too want to see all, however, with God's perspective. I think that the divine purpose of seeing all of the suffering and evil around us, with Godly perspective, will be to form in our minds and hearts greater love and compassion for God's children, and the utmost importance in allowing all to choose what they want to do. I know too that we will grow from this process and become all the stronger and obedient in going through this. I feel like we are all in the eye of hurricane which will soon move, casting us into great turbulence in our society and lives!

3. This morning I also read my journal entry from last night. I don't want to sound too critical or negative about the LDS church and its practices. I do, however, want to know what my Gods think, and to gain their perspective in all things.

4. This morning I came to the flat land area in front of the stone room, at the perimeter of God's Loving Healing Center. I had first seen this back in May 2015, about 4 ½ years ago.

5. The landscape was pretty barren around me. I could see the distant temple of God to the north; however, there were gullies and hills all around, and lots of forested areas. I don't know why I came here, but I felt I should in my morning prayer.

6. I knelt on the ground, facing the stone room. I asked for my Heavenly Father to come to me, for I felt he had a message for me this morning I felt alert and receptive to whatever he might deliver to me. I had complete trust in the revelations of God, and in my Heavenly Parents.

7. While kneeling, a door appeared on the stone building and then opened. I heard a voice in my mind to walk inside the stone room.

8. I stood and walked through the open door. I then saw my Heavenly Father standing on the ground, subdued in his glory. He was smiling somewhat sober it seemed, somewhat like the visage I saw of Heavenly Mother last night at the fountain of living water.

9. Heavenly Father directed me to sit on a chair next to him. I sat and then he sat in another chair facing me. He then spoke to me:

10. 'Raphael, I want to prepare your heart and mind for the intensity of the whirlwind of difficulties that you will witness soon, in a coming day. I want you also to see it all, and like we told S, to view all of these things with our Godly perspective. When you witness the destruction of your society and nation, and you will mourn for what could have been. You will then realize the people in your land have chosen evil over the good, and Satan over the small still voice of us their Gods.

11. In all of this, we will preserve your life. You will feel both your Heavenly Mother and I standing by your side, calm and protecting you. We will extend this same protection and view to each of our faithful elect who seek this from us, in the humility and sincerity of their heart. We want their experience to be one of being assured we are by them, and for them to see all with our Godly perspective.

12. You will not be prepared, in many ways, to go through the whirlwind of destruction that you will witness. Your best preparation for what is to come is to stay close to us now, and seek our face continually. We will come and never leave your side through the calamities that come. You will be calm in turbulent times, as will many of our elect who also are sustained by us in these coming days of trouble. Our promise to you is also our promise to them, as they humbly seek our will and direction and very presence.

13. I have chosen to give you my message in this rough terrain outside this room, which represents the telestial world. Inside this stone room are white smooth walls and a smooth floor, with two chairs where we face each other in an intimate setting. Raphael, remember that your Heavenly Mother and I will always be with you and our faithful elect in the fury that I will cause to come upon your telestial world in which you live. We are protected from the whirlwinds that may come outside of this structure.'

14. I then heard fierce winds blowing outside, but I felt very protected!

'Stand with me now, and let's go together outside this strong stone room. This room has been built to withstand any storm that may come!"

15. Heavenly Father then stood as did I, and he walked first out the doorway, and I followed.

We then came upon a beautiful world of lush plants, flowers of all varieties planted in carefully planned and manicured gardens! There was a little waterfall in one of the gardens with a small stream flowing into a pond with lily pads and pink flowers. I saw frogs, turtles, and lots of fish swimming in the beautiful pond! There were beautiful tall trees with green new spring leaves gently blowing in a warm breeze.

16. My Heavenly Mother then walked down one of the curving paths to us! She embraced first her husband, my Heavenly Father who was on my left side. They kissed each other and held hands and then faced me.

17. Heavenly Mother was beaming with great light, as was my Father also. She spoke:

'Raphael, when you come to our stone room, the terrain and vegetation was rough and sparse, representing the telestial earth and world you now live in.

18. After your talk with your Heavenly Father inside the stone room, you came outside into a beautiful world representing the terrestrial millennial earth that will soon burst forth upon all the land! The transition between the telestial and terrestrial will be relatively short for you and our elect, as long as we are comforting them, by their sides. We will come, upon their sincere request. We will always be calm and intimate with our faithful elect, and gently lead them and protect them. There will be no need to fear with their Father and I near. Some may lose everything of their previous world, but the coming millennial world is far better, and worth waiting for!'

19. I felt such peace and joy in my heart! I was overtaken with emotion and gratitude that I could hardly speak! I knelt on the ground before my wonderful Heavenly Parents in front of me! They each reached out their hands and pulled me close to their exalted bodies. I cried for joy on their robes, with my tears falling upon them.

20. I then was immediately in my conscious mind, back in my private room, writing all of this down. Then the words of Heavenly Mother came into my mind clearly:

'Raphael, what you experienced at the stone room this morning is true and happened just as you wrote. Our promise is also sure, for we will never leave your side nor the sides of our faithful who ask us to come!'

21. I smiled and thanked her and Heavenly Father again for their promise, and for my beautiful revelation this morning. I then confirmed again in my mind and heart that all was true. I closed my prayer and started my new week.

22. At night–This evening I came to the Great Assembly Hall, to the stand area behind the podium. I don't know why I came here. When I looked up I saw that the hall was full of people! It was like I was in a meeting that was ready to start.

23. I turned and looked up in the top left corner of the hall behind me. I saw both my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother standing there in the air. I asked them if I might come to them, and Heavenly Father spoke to my mind:

24. 'Raphael, come before us here near the ceiling and we will inform you what is happening.'

I then left my place on the stand, and came on bended knee before my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father then spoke to me:

25. 'Raphael, we have asked that a meeting of our holy angels and all other celestial servants be held tomorrow, 11-19-2019. You are seeing that this meeting is about to start, and you are seeing this event in the future, tomorrow morning. Your Mother and I have asked that you conduct this meeting. You will have time between now and tomorrow morning to organize your thoughts on who will speak, and what speaker(s) you feel inspired to call from this congregation. Our objective in holding a general assembly meeting in this very large hall is to announce several issues and to buoy up our angels and celestial servants who have been working so very hard for us.'

26. I asked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother to help and inspire me in asking the people that they wanted to speak, and if I would speak, what I should say.

'Raphael', he spoke, 'come here in the morning and begin the meeting in your prayer.'

27. I then was disconnected with my evening prayer at the Great Assembly Hall. I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their confidence in me, and then closed my prayer and soon went to bed.

28. I thought of the scripture in D&C 107:19, which speaks of the power and authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood:

"To have the privilege of receiving the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, to have the heavens opened unto them, to commune with the general assembly and church of the Firstborn, and to enjoy the communion and presence of God the Father, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant."

I felt like I would have the great privilege of communing with the general assembly spoken of in this verse!

Comfrey, several lettuces, celery, lemon balm, onion, parsely

18. Also, each of you will continue to receive great truths and revelations from our Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother and Jesus Christ. Please contact me if you are directed to help clarify our joint understandings and to answer questions you may have. I pray that these will all be addressed and made part of this permanent record that you will each be able to access with your personal key.

19. D) I then shared with the entire group of angels and celestial servants the recent revelations of the Fall of Babylon, the coming of the tribes of Israel from the lands of the north, from inside the hollow earth, and of the remnants of Israel from the lands of the south. I talked about the wars, physical upheavals and destructions, and great distress upon all the earth that would come upon all mortals, even as a whirlwind. I shared with them the vision of the tunnel of swirling leaves I experienced in the birch tree grove recently, and words of our Heavenly Parents about these great tribulations coming to the earth.

20. I said I had received words that these destructions are now being unveiled in detail, but that they wouldn't really begin in fury until after 2019 would be completed. I said none of us know the timing of events until the moment that they would be upon us.

21. E) I then spoke candidly to each of the celestial angels and servants who were assembled. I said each of us would receive directions by personal revelation from our Heavenly Parents on what we individually would be asked to do in behalf of God, as their servant. I emphasized the great importance to act immediately, and to replicate themselves as many times as needed to complete their work, as directed by God. I said I was told that their actions were to be done immediately, with no hesitation. It was God, both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother who were orchestrating these last days events. I said Jesus Christ was laboring with each elect person that the Father chose, to help them grow and come unto the Father and Mother, and be fully redeemed and sanctified. His intent was to introduce them again to their Heavenly Parents, and bring them into the presence of God. I said Jesus was also directing more closely the 144,000 who are now being actively awakened to do their great work in the terrestrial realms on the earth.

22. I closed my address with the inspiration of God as I was receiving from my Heavenly Parents in the upper corner of the room. As I write now in my journal, I feel that the remainder of the proceedings of the meeting would be given to me in my prayer tonight, right here in this Great Assembly Hall.

23. My morning prayer then ended, and I felt assurance that I had correctly written all of these things as I received them. I closed my prayer and started my day in mortality. I look forward to my prayer tonight!

24. Evening–Tonight I came again to the Great Assembly Hall on the celestial orb, where I was located this morning. I am settled in my chair in my front room, in a quiet house. My wife is reading a book and I am meditating and clear in my mind.

25. After my address, I received the impression to allow whoever was moved upon by the Spirit of God to stand, and then I would call them to the front to speak. I said that there were up to a few people who could come forth and deliver their message that they were prompted to speak.

26. A young sister stood up immediately near the front, and I waved her to come forth to speak. When she came, she replicated herself at the podium and didn't walk up there.

She said her name was Sariah (the equivalent in English) and that she was resurrected. She said that she had lived in mortality before the great flood, and had lived in the days of Jared, the son of Mahaleel and the father of Enoch.

She said that she had been given a choice to dwell with Enoch and his city, Zion, but she chose to continue living in the land of Cannan, where there was still a group of the faithful. She had died before the city of Zion was taken up to heaven, before the flood.

In our greenhouse in this picture:
Sage, thyme, celety, parsley, lettuce, cilantro, chives

She also said she had been resurrected at the time soon after Jesus Christ, her Redeemer, was resurrected and rose from the dead.

27. Sariah bore testimony of the shortness of the hour before Jesus Christ comes again to the earth. She said she labored night and day, with many replications, in service to the children of Adam who are now living on the earth. She said she received directions immediately after each of her previous assignments is completed, to fill her entire day.

28. She told of her great love for her Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. She said she looked so forward to the establishment of the Church of the Firstborn on the earth, in a day near to come. She was very filled with light and the love of God. I felt an immediate kinship with her as she spoke! She closed in the name of Jesus Christ, and then immediately vanished to return to her seat in the congregation.

29. I saw next a man about half way back in the hall. He stood up and I communicated with him to come forward, in my mind to his mind.

He then was immediately at the podium. He said his name was Eli, and he lived in ancient Israel during the time that Isaiah was the prophet. He lived in the area around Jerusalem, under the reign of King Hezekiah.

30. Eli spoke of the great fear that all of his people experienced when the Assyrian armies came and surrounded the city of Jerusalem. He said he had prayed and received the ministration of an angel who comforted him greatly, and those in his family.

31. He said that the faithful who live on the earth in these tumultuous times could also receive the visitation of angels and those others in our congregation, according to the will of our Heavenly Parents. He spoke with great power, and I knew he spoke the words of our Heavenly Father who was giving Eli revelation, which Eli in turn spoke to the entire assembly. I was so impressed with Eli's great faith and power in his deliverance, even as he received from our Father!

32. After Eli closed his witness in the name of Jesus, there was an angel who rose up in the air above the congregation, who was so bright and full of light. I motioned her to come forth. I knew her very well, and her name was Bethany.

33. She spoke with such love and praise for our Heavenly Parents! She said she was currently a mortal angel, and even though she was not yet awakened in the flesh, she was very full of the spirit and couldn't be restrained any more! She lived in the United States, is currently an active Christian, and yearns for the day when she and her loved ones awaken to God. She said she was translated to a celestial glory, and worked in the celestial realms of the earth in behalf of the elect, all according to the impressions and directions from God.

When done delivering her message, I stood and placed my arm around Bethany, thanking her for her tireless service to God and to her elect brothers and sisters on the mortal earth.

34. She then returned to her seat, and I concluded the meeting. We all sang a hymn. I am not aware of in my conscious mind, and I asked Enos, the son of Seth and grandson of Adam, to conclude our meeting in prayer.

35. Thus ended a very moving meeting for me in the Great Assembly Hall! I felt very grateful to have participated, and to have felt the Spirit in a rich outpouring like I had never felt quite so strong.

7. She spoke: 'Raphael, you remarked last night in your journal how you were very impressed in the meeting you conducted, after the manner of the workings of the Spirit. This was exactly how we wish meetings in our church to be, even as is recorded in the Book of Mormon:

Moroni 6:9 "And their meetings were conducted by the church after the manner of the workings of the Spirit, and by the power of the Holy Ghost; for as the power of the Holy Ghost led them whether to preach, or to exhort, or to pray, or to supplicate, or to sing, even so it was done."

8. In the meeting at the Great Assembly Hall, all were edified and taught by your Heavenly Father and I, for you and the entire congregation received of my Spirit and were very edified. We worked through you who conducted the meeting, and to those who spoke as they were prompted to speak. We conveyed our light and love through the heavenly hymns and music. All were fully guided by us, through the power of the Holy Ghost that I gave to them.

9. These angels and celestial servants were well practiced in hearing the voice of God through our Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost. They were continually led, not knowing beforehand how the Father and I will lead them.

10. Our promptings are gentle and quiet, but very real and perceptive to those who love us and keep our commandments. They act in great faith, with assurance that they have heard our voice and the desire to keep our counsels and directions. Your Father and I have great confidence that they will be able to be fully our conduits of our will, in doing our great latter-day work among those who dwell on the earth, either in their mortal state or in the world of the dead.

11. Raphael, you have been well trained in following my Holy Ghost, for I dwell in you. You don't know beforehand how the Father and I will lead you, but you really don't need to know. We feel it is best to give you our inspirations, words and thoughts at the moment we give them, and not before. You then receive in the present, and act and live by faith, with an open and receptive mind and heart.

12. Some of the greatest revelations have been and will be given to our children in the present moment, by my Spirit that they receive from me, or by the Holy Spirit given from the Father. We will do our great work in this way, revealed in the moment we need our children to act and obey us.

13. Were we to do our work without involving our elect and faithful servants, our strange work, our strange act would still be fulfilled, but our children would not have learned and grown like they are now learning and growing. We have therefore chosen to work through our faithful children to bless our other faithful children, and to bring about our great work in these last days.

14. We have chosen you to be our leader in the great latter-day work, and also our many angels and other servants. These all are to receive our Spirit and be led by us, and follow your leadership even as we lead you. Everyone is to receive of the abundant blessings of our Spirit, and be guided in their lives. They are to confirm continually if they are acting in harmony with our will, even as we give them direct revelation or our revelations through you that you share with them. All will thus be edified together.

15. We have always chosen one of our sons or daughters to be a head, so that the residue of the people may be trained to be led by our Holy Spirit and my Holy Ghost. We abundantly pour out upon each our direction, and they move and act and think as one body even as we direct and bless them. This is the foundation of Zion, our pure and holy people, who are one in thought and purpose, for they all love us and keep our commandments.'

16. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her comforting words today! I felt uplifted and so loved and accepted. I feel bright and happy.

17. She smiled and then walked into the pocketed flower wall in front of us! I then heard her voice clearly in my mind:

18. D&C 38:7–"But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine eyes are upon you. I am in your midst and ye cannot see me."

19. I felt her close by, but I knew she was in the higher celestial realms, out of my sight. I felt her Spirit however, constantly inside of me, and her whisperings in my mind and heart.

20. I then thought of these words in Isaiah 30:20-21–"And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the waters of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.

And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying; This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."

21. I then thanked my Heavenly Mother in my mind, and closed my prayer.

22. Evening–I am in Portland, Oregon now, in my sister K's cottage in her backyard that she has for guests. Our Mother had a small heart attack we think, and is now in a local hospital. I flew up to Portland in the afternoon, and will be here at least all day Thursday (tomorrow) and Friday. My plane leaves early on Saturday, but I am also prepared to stay if I need to longer. It has been a whirlwind of a day, and now is well past midnight.

23. I came to the circling waters and knelt in front of the bench. Heavenly Father came and spoke to me:

'Raphael, we are glad that you are with your Mother at this time of uncertainty and need in her life. We will bless and comfort her by your visit and the love of her family. We will not be giving you any new revelations while you are with her, for we want you to spend time with her and to be there for those who may wish to express their love to her through you while you visit and stay with her.'

24. I thanked my Heavenly Father for his kindness and love. I said I would do whatever he said. I also expressed my love for him.

I then closed my prayer and went to bed.

E. R's Personal Journal Entry, November 21, 2019, Thursday

1. I have spent the entire day with my Mom in the hospital. I had a lot to do from the moment I awoke until now, past midnight again. She is doing so much better and should come back to her home some time tomorrow. I had to do some catch up on business tonight also.

I came to the circling waters again tonight and briefly met with my Heavenly Mother. She was smiling and full of light. I felt this message from her:

2. 'Raphael, you are doing the greatest work now you can do on earth by being with your earthly Mother. Your Father and I are very pleased that you are with her and helping her in her time of need.'

3. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her kindly remarks, so comforting to me!

I closed my prayer and retired to bed.

G. R's Personal Journal Entry, November 23, 2019, Saturday

1. It is early morning and I am heading home on my journey. I am glad to have come and helped my mom!

2. This morning I came again to the circling waters. While I do this in my unconscious mind, I am on public transportation, heading first to the Portland airport.

3. At the circling waters I tried to perceive my surroundings. I could "see" moving waters, beautiful flowers, and a grassy area where I am kneeling, facing the waters. I perceived this all in my unconscious mind. People might say I am a dreamer, but for me it is very real and I am really there. I believe contact and communion with God usually comes on a higher plane or realm then we mortals are living in, in our conscious minds. We usually only see "darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12)

4. I came humbly and with an open heart and mind. I asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come.

Heavenly Father then appeared to me above the circling waters! I could see clearly, even in my conscious mind, his loving face, his white beard and magnificent eternity eyes that are so deep and all knowing! He stood before me in the image of a glorious exalted man. His robes were also brilliantly white. He wore a scarlet red sash around his waist, tied on the right side. I absolutely knew this was my Father in heaven, he who has spoken to me many times before in mortality!

5. I only remember little glimpses of my time with my Heavenly Father before my earth life. I know who I am –a beloved son of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother!

6. Heavenly Father then spoke to me, in my mind and thoughts like our Gods communicate to their sons and daughters: "Raphael, I am really before you, my son, and you are really my fourth son in this eternity. I have a work for you, among your brothers and sisters who dwell on the earth and in the world of the spirit dead.

7. You minister to our elect in the celestial realms on the earth where these, our elect, normally wouldn't see you unless they are also brought by my power into that realm.

8. You have been chosen to be our leader among the others who also work in our celestial realms on the earth. You assist your Heavenly Mother and I in our great last-days work among our faithful.

9. For all of you who are our celestial servants, we expect you to act on whatever we may ask of you to do, with all holiness of heart (see D&C 46: 7). We want you to serve our sons and daughters in love and great acceptance, and with immediacy when you receive our directions. Your Mother and I have chosen to work much of our strange work, our strange act among our children through you, our servants. We could do it all ourselves, but that is not our way. We work through those we have chosen. We have called and empowered each angel, each celestial servant, each one of the elect in our great effort. This is truly the work of God and not man!

10. All of our servants need to be open, humble, quick to respond, and full of faith and action. Our directions will stretch them in their capacity, and we will enlighten them with our Godly light and power to do all we ask of them.

11. You are an ordinary man on earth, in your mortal family. You experience the telestial world that surrounds you. This will continue, and you will continue to attract no attention above your neighbor, or in the world. However, in the celestial realms you are recognized as our last-days servant who carries our abundant light, power, and authority. When following your lead and directions, our servants will know by our Spirit that we are leading you, and that you are our true servant.

12. You will establish the foundations of Zion, the New Jerusalem. You have been commissioned to create the Church of the Firstborn in the New Jerusalem, a church that is celestial. Our holy angels will there administer eternally binding ordinances that we will accept. You will all serve us, your Gods, in this celestial temple and church throughout the millennium. Everyone who becomes exalted, and receives a celestial inheritance will come through this temple and receive the ordinances of the Church of the Firstborn. The only exception is Jesus Christ himself, who is already a God and has already received all of these ordinances in our own celestial temple on our celestial orb, directly from us, his Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father. It is after him that the church of the Firstborn is named, for he is our Firstborn, our Beloved Son. He has wrought the great atonement for all mankind. It is through him, the Great Redeemer, that all mankind may receive salvation.

13. Raphael, you may now look outside on your travel by train to the airport. There is a heavy fog that is upon the city. This heaviness is also in the spiritual realms on the earth. Our light and spirit is very obscured by the fog that covers their minds. Most love Satan, the world, and their own selfish motives and desires, more than us, their true Heavenly Parents.

14. We will lift the darkness that covers the world, and the minds of our elect in our own way.

15. Isaiah 55: 6-9

"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

16. Heavenly Father stopped speaking. He stood in royal majesty and power before me! I expressed to him, in my mind, my full dedication to his call for me. I said I would obey every prompting from him and Heavenly Mother. I said I loved him."

17. He then arose up in the air, into the celestial sky, and was soon gone. I closed my prayer and had almost arrived at the airport. The sun began shining and I felt energized by my morning prayer.

18. Evening–I got home after dancing and a date with my lovely wife. I am so glad and happy to be home again!

19. I came this evening to the granite cliff at the east end of Heavenly Mother's upper garden. I could see the temple of God in the distance, at the time just before sunset. The sky and spotty clouds were beautiful, and the low light of the celestial sun cast an orange hue across the land.

20. I knelt, facing the temple, and asked for my Heavenly Mother to come, for I felt she would come tonight. I expected her to come from the temple, but she arose from my right side, from below the cliff! She was smiling with subdued light. I felt immediately warmed by her presence.

21. She spoke: "Raphael, I would like to address R.S.'s question he wrote to you. He asked "Were there other migrations besides Hagoth to sail east or west and southward directed by God from the land of promise that were forbidden to be recorded?"

22. Your Heavenly Father and I prefer to have the expeditions of other migrations be revealed when their records will be brought forth and translated by the power of God. There are many such groups whose records have been hid up for centuries. We want the excitement and revealing of their records to come forth as a new revelation at the time of their discovery among our children.

23. (Couldn't stay awake! Continued in the morning.)
