I hope you are still liking to read my journal entries! There is so much that I record in them that are my personal revelations and my perspectives that are being shaped by what I receive. I trust that you are challenging them and seeking to know from God if what I write is true.
There has been a lot of information this week about the millennium–how the people will live and function. I so look forward to this time just around the corner now!
All of my pictures in this post are from those I took on my recent campout and hike in the mountains. I hope you enjoy them.
A. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 24, 2018, Tuesday, Pioneer Day
1. Evening–We had a very full and family centered Pioneer Day celebration today! We went to town and visited the annual quilt show and pioneer buildings there. We came back and ate and swam and then more family came in the evening. We visited until past 9:30 p.m.
Tomorrow I go on a 'Roughing It' campout with my oldest son and his son. I will go with my other son, A.. Should be lots of fun! We will go overnight to a place at 8000 ft. elevation near Park City, Utah.
Tonight I came to the meandering stream in the southern desert area. It was warm with a slight wind. The celestial moon was up in the sky and the sky was dark. This was such a peaceful and quiet place!
I knelt on a little sandy spot next to the stream. I faced the stream and asked my Heavenly Parents to come. I waited and watched. Heavenly Mother started appearing in front of me, above the quiet stream. She was alone. Her brightness was subdued and gentle and she was smiling. I was very happy to see her come to me tonight. I thanked her for wonderful family activities that we enjoyed today.
'Raphael, we are glad you have made this time for memorable experiences with your family! Your day today has been so enjoyable to you. Tomorrow during your campout, you will also be able to create meaningful memories. We will give you no major revelations tomorrow night or Thursday morning.
Our current emphasis is to help our servants be prepared to assist the elect who will be coming to us in larger numbers, once more tribulations come into their lives. We have taught them through you the great importance of seeking our faces, and establishing daily connections in prayer with us.
3. Once our elect are able to hear our voice, and verify in their minds and hearts it is us who speak, then we want them to learn to receive our revelations. You have written much of these experiences you have received from us, with revelations poured into your soul. They, too, will each be able to hear our voice and receive our revelations.
Our elect children will need to have their minds opened to the experience of receiving revelations from us. These are such gentle and quiet impressions at first that many look beyond the mark. We speak differently than how most of our children perceive we will speak to them. We do this in their unconscious minds. They will need to link their 'conscious mind to their unconscious mind in order to understand our revelations in their mortal state. Your journal entries will help them understand this process, Raphael.'
I thanked her for her short words tonight. I knew I was pretty tired from all the activities of the day and that this was probably why her message was short tonight. I then closed my prayer and went to bed.
B. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 25, 2018, Wednesday
1. This morning I came to the adjacent room to pray before my family awoke. I felt to go to the mortal probation chapel in God's temple. I faced the mural depicting the current last days time period. I knelt, facing this mural, for this is what I felt to do. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
I then turned around and saw three chairs and felt to sit in the middle chair. As I did so, Heavenly Father appeared in the left chair facing the mural and Heavenly Mother the right! We were all three facing the mural like we were ready to watch a movie or a show!
Heavenly Father on my left asked me to watch the mural with them. I did so. I then saw the events of the current days on the mural. These were global events. As I watched in my unconscious mind, I tried to discern what I had seen, in my conscious mind. I felt to write these in bulleted categories below:
2. • The greatest thing at first were the changes in the hearts of men and women on earth. I saw over a period of 5-10 years that Satan had influenced so many people with lack of interest in God or service to others. I saw their hearts became cold, and there was greater and greater self-interest. I saw that the love of mankind was replaced with hardened feelings, rough feelings and thoughts of no interest towards others, even of their own family. Among the elect, I saw many men and women distressed at the failing culture and society around them. I saw more of the faithful seeking to connect personally with God in prayer.
• 3. I saw leaders of nations pushing their countries recklessly into war and evil alliances, all for their personal gain. The whole world seemed to fall into great commotion, as the scriptures say (D&C 45: 26-27).
• 4. I saw that the servants of God, the mortal angels, the 144,000, and the hosts in heaven were quietly preparing themselves to minister to the elect on the earth. The preparations of the mortal angels and 144,000 who were also mortal was ramping up, by them each connecting to God in prayer. These were seeing God and receiving personal revelation in greater numbers.
• 5. I saw that the wicked who had followed Satan's promptings were soon very disappointed in that the devil had suddenly withdrawn his support. Those who had followed him felt betrayed and left alone.
• I saw greater and greater anger and vengeance in people's hearts that did not believe in God. They argued, fought, killed and many were beyond feeling. There was a lot of betrayal among the wicked.
• I saw great fear grip all peoples. People tried to gather in clans, in trusted groups, for their own protection.
• 6. I saw finally a light break forth in secret among the peoples of the world. I saw this was selectively breaking forth across the land. The light was celestial light from God through his servants, the angels, and others who were individually guiding the elect. Their ministrations were a great relief to the faithful in a very troubled world.
• I saw greatly increased natural calamities all across the world. I saw earthquakes, volcanic activity, famine and pestilence, severe and weird weather patterns randomly happening, and the lands and water convulsing here and there. I saw flooding and tsunamis. People became fearful of what might happen next.
• 7. I saw great deceits among those in power, in religious orders, industry and governments. So much was planned in secret and then perpetrated upon the innocent! The leaders tried to wiggle out of their responsibilities, with legal processes so they could escape the wrath of the people. Some leaders went into hiding which they had prepared. They fully were selfish and did not care for those who they misled.
• I saw that all peoples in all lands began to feel distrust of anyone in authority in governments. They clung to family and friends and became disobedient to laws and norms of society. The lands of the earth became places of lawlessness.
• 8. I then saw myself. I saw that I continued to live a quiet life. I saw I continued to receive revelations from heaven. I became more assured and capable in what I was to do. I saw my wife and I ministering quietly to those in our neighborhood who were in need.
• I saw that activity in the terrestrial celestial realms of the earth was greatly increased. Servants of God were ministering continually to individuals on the earth and helping them navigate in an ever-distressed world.
'Raphael, this is your day that you now live in! You do not know what is truly happening in your world unless we show it to you. You cannot trust normal channels of reporting the news, for there is corruption and self-interests among so many peoples, agencies, industry, and particularly national governments.
We will be beside you at all times in these ever increasing distressful times. You will find great peace and calmness in your personal life, while all around you there is commotion. Such is also our promise to all the faithful who follow our promptings and not man's.'
10. Both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother then stood and I also stood. They turned towards me and Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, we will occasionally return here to this mortal chapel room in our temple to show you current world events as they happen. We will always be with you our son!'
They then started fading away and then were gone! I was left alone, standing in the room. I knelt down by the chair I had sat on next to them. I confirmed that what I had written was true. I then closed my prayer and started my day on earth.
Ripe thimbleberries
C. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 26, 2018, Thursday evening
1. This morning after I awoke, and before the others were stirring, I came to the circling waters and connected with my Heavenly Parents. This morning I saw the faces of my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Father spoke to me briefly, encouraging me to enjoy my campout and hiking with my boys. That's all I received and then I got up. I snapped a picture of the sunrise in the mountains. We slept at about 8,500 ft. elevation. Later in the day we hiked to a mountain peak, Murdock Peak (elevation 9600 ft.) near Park City, Utah. It was a very fun hike with so many mountain flowers, bees and butterflies all around!
Tonight I came again to the circling waters. It reminded me of the little mountain stream on my campout and hike. I saw that I was very clear. I then prayed for my Heavenly Parents to come. Heavenly Mother came immediately in front of me, on the water! She looked pleased and happy. She spoke right away:
2. 'Raphael, I love mountains in the summer like where you hiked today! You saw so many of our creations that fill your mountains with beautiful flowers, trees and other vegetation. There are also many mountain animals that thrive in this area too.
When I lived on earth, I loved hiking in the mountains and resorted there as often as I could. I particularly loved the mountain streams that gurgled as they meandered down the slopes. I have made my upper gardens a beautiful mountain climate, complete with a gurgling stream and beautiful mountain flowers, plants and animals.
Come here again tomorrow morning to my circling waters and I will give you my revelations. You are very tired and need your sleep now.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother. I then closed my prayer and prepared for bed."
D. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 27, 2018, Friday
1. I awoke refreshed this morning after a good night's sleep. I am eager to connect to my Heavenly Mother in prayer this morning!
I checked and I was very clear. I drank some living water from the stream. I prayed on my knees facing the circling waters. I asked for Heavenly Mother and maybe Heavenly Father to come to me. I then saw my Heavenly Mother about one foot above the circling waters! She was smiling and full of light. I gazed into her eyes, saw her beautiful smile and face and her robes. She wore a scarlet red waist sash. Her light was coming upon me and filling my being. I felt peace and excitement to be in her presence.
'Raphael, you took some pictures yesterday of beautiful mountain flowers and berries. You knew that some were sweet and edible like the thimbleberries. You also saw lots of baneberries whose beautiful berries are very poisonous to people. The ripe berries of each are deep red.
Sometimes our children appear sweet and very nice to their brothers and sisters. However, they have ulterior hidden motives to trick or manipulate the hearts of other to their own purposes. Baneberry is a berry that may cause cardiac arrest if eaten, and perhaps death. These manipulative people play with the hearts of our children, with insincerity and manipulation. They too guise as friendly, but inwardly are very dangerous. We know the minds and hearts of all of our children. However, you generally don't know if they have hidden motives where they could gain your confidence and favor, and then abandon you when you have met their selfish needs.
I tell you this, Raphael, because there are those whom you will meet that are like the baneberry, who seem so interested in you and seem so very nice. You can tell by their fruits, or by their past, if they are genuine:
"Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."
4. Some of our children will pose as sincere friends to you. They will be warm and seem genuine. Look to their past deeds to see if they are truly your friend. Betrayal is extremely hurtful and abandonment may have lasting pain. Be careful in trusting those with whom you have only recently become acquainted with.
I say these words for your sake and for all of the elect. Satan will seek to dissuade you in your great work by influencing some others who will try to manipulate you for their selfish purposes. Some will be inspired by the adversary who tricks and tempts them.
Finally, call upon us, your Heavenly Parents, to confirm the true intentions and hearts of all men and women. As you approach us in humility and sincerity, we will lead you along. Your experience with these toxic people will strengthen you to be more aware of the hearts of all of our children you may meet.
5. When Our Beloved Son approves the elect to enter into the Church of the Firstborn, he has witnessed their behavior over their lifetime. He sees how they act under many circumstances, and how responsive they are to our gentle promptings. They are thoroughly tested, proven and refined. He has successfully cleansed their souls, and by their desires they have aligned themselves to our standards of humility, obedience to our gentle promptings, and the vast array of Christian virtues. It is over a lifetime that we watch and evaluate our children in the flesh, in their mortal state. We lead them gently, those who will follow us, until we have fully proven them in all things. These are our elect. There are no deceivers or manipulators among them.'
6. I thanked my Heavenly Mother for this warning! I know I sometimes am too trusting of others. I need to gradually build relationships based on experience and trust over many interactions. For those who have a history of manipulation, I need to always be on guard so I am not tricked again. I have one person like this that I think of in my own family. My trust level is very low, but my interactions with her are frequent. It is hard not to relax my guard around her. However, the message of today is to be wary of such and to keep my confidences. I need to continually check her actions since I don't trust her so much.
I feel that this message from Heavenly Mother was for those, too, who may read my journal entry today. We all need to learn how to navigate with toxic people in our lives. Some we may be able to help change, but we need to be careful not to get stung in the process. We need to exercise good mental control of our thoughts and feelings so we are not too adversely affected by the behaviors of others, even of family and friends.
Heavenly Mother next smiled at me and then vanished. Her message was clear to me. I will follow God's ever-gentle guidance in my life, and try the hearts of men and women I meet until they are approved as the elect of God. Once approved, I then will have no worries or reservations on the intentions of their hearts. I closed my prayer and started my day.

7. Below is a recent email from M.A. . She said I could share this. I think it will buoy us all up!
"Hello again,
I have to share an experience I had yesterday and today.
July 19, 2018,
At the temple today as people were standing in the prayer circle, I wasn't part of the prayer circle, I could see that Rod was holding my hand in the Patriarchal Grip.
July 20, 2018
In my prayer meditation today, I drank from the fountain of living water by the celestial temple. I then walked on the path that led to the white gate. Jesus Christ opened the gate and held my hand and walked the treacherous path with me! When we got to the tree of life He picked a fruit and gave it to me and told me to eat it. I did as he said and then he gave me a leaf he had picked and handed to me and as I chewed it I felt I was healing. He then held my hand and we were walking until we came to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother. We all embraced. We all kept walking and walking all together holding hands, until we came to a glorious golden city. The streets were paved with gold and the city had a golden hue.
8. Yesterday while driving to the temple a song came on the radio. It was "You'll Never Walk Alone". It was just instrumental, so I later found it on YouTube and listened to the words.
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high, and don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of the storm is a golden sky, and the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain though your dreams be tossed and torn. Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart and you'll never walk alone. You'll never walk alone."
I think this is what my Gods were showing me this morning as well as Rod holding my hand yesterday. I will never walk alone.
I think this applies to all of us who trust in our Heavenly Parents. They will not leave us alone in the coming tribulations and we need to keep our heads held high and not be afraid. And have hope in our hearts, and look forward to being in the beautiful golden city of the New Jerusalem.
9. In the evening–I came tonight to the desert oasis, such a remarkable place to come! There was a full moon like I saw tonight on earth coming over the mountains. It was still and quiet here. I felt very clear and ready to commune with my Heavenly Parents. I knelt facing the oasis, and asked my Heavenly Parents to come. My Heavenly Parents came from above the water, holding hands and having a soft white light in the sky. They soon were both in front of me.
'Raphael, whenever we come here we too are impressed with the clarity our children have in viewing us. We always see clearly, but our children are not often clear. When they come here they are much clearer to see themselves with us, their Gods.
You just finished watching a video with your wife on the great importance of eating mostly a plant based diet. In this era where the earth is starting to transition to a terrestrial state from a telestial state, your physical mortal bodies will also start to transition. Your own body is translated and as such would benefit in a greater plant based diet. Even for those who are not translated, who are now living, there has been a shift occurring in what foods are better assimilated into their body systems. More plant based food, with little meat is currently the best overall diet for all of our children at this time.
11. In the millennial day, all of our children who live on the earth will best function on an entire plant based diet. With the transition of telestial to terrestrial physical bodies, the diet will also necessarily shift to a more plant and less meat consumption.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for this great insight! I am determined to follow his guidelines for myself. I want to eat primarily fruits and vegetables and grains, along with any other herbs and plants. I plan to greatly reduce my meat consumption too. This thought pleased my Heavenly Parents who smiled after I wrote this in my journal. I knew I needed to start transitioning immediately!
I then became fully aware of writing in my journal while in my recliner. I had lost my conscious connection with my Heavenly Parents. I do know however, that I have heard correctly tonight. I am now confirming all of this and feel greatly at peace and sureness. I closed my prayer and prepared for bed.

E. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 28, 2018, Saturday
1. I awoke before my family and came to the adjacent bedroom. I re-read the Word of Wisdom this morning from D&C 89. This also said to eat meat sparingly, and only in times of winter, or of cold or famine:
"Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;
And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine."
It looks like we already should not eat meat, only a little here and there, and sparingly. In the summertime, when it is hot like now, we should probably not eat it at all.
Well, these are my thoughts as I came to my God in prayer this morning. I came again to the desert oasis, at the bench facing the water again. I felt very clarified and alert. I really want to eat the foods my Heavenly Parents want me to eat.
"And whoso forbiddeth to abstain from meats, that man should not eat the same, is not ordained of God;
For behold, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and that which cometh of the earth, is ordained for the use of man for food and for raiment, and that he might have in abundance,
And wo be unto man that sheddeth blood or that wasteth flesh and hath no need."
In the Joseph Smith translation of the bible, Noah was given this commandment when he came out of the ark:
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hold of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."
More thimbleberries
6. I came in prayer this morning with these thoughts in my mind. I knelt towards the water of the oasis, and saw Heavenly Mother on the water looking at me! I saw her smile and then walk up to me.
She spoke:
'Raphael, the scriptures you have recorded in your journal are pertaining to the diet of our children in the telestial world. The reference to the millennial day in Isaiah chapter 11 shows that animals will also change their diet by eating plants. The enmity of man and beasts will be removed as the entire surface of the earth elevates to a terrestrial state. It will be a wonderful day in which to live!
7. You are living in the beginning of the transition state from the telestial to the terrestrial state on the earth among mankind, plants and animals. The plants themselves will transform and provide the nutrients needed to fully sustain our children and the animals that used to be carnivores. The constitution of man and these animals will also become more elevated to fully become sustainable from a plant based diet.
When our children are ultimately assigned a kingdom of glory, be it telestial, terrestrial or celestial, they will no longer need food to be sustained. It is only in the physical mortal existence of our children that they need to eat.
8. Raphael, in the transition to an all plant-based diet in the terrestrial millennial world (**see below), we are pleased when you eat more plant foods and less meat. When the plants become fully vibrant, then we will recommend that our children go on a full plant based diet.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words of wisdom in this transition time. I feel very blessed to have this direction from my Gods on diet.
9. (**Later: I later inquired of my Heavenly Mother whether the recommended diet in the millennial terrestrial world would include animal products such as dairy, eggs and honey. Here is what she told me:
'Raphael, in the millennium, mankind will avoid the consumption of meat where life is taken. The diet of many of our children at that time will include animal derived products where the life of the animal is not taken. This includes such foods as dairy, eggs or honey.')
10. Evening–Tonight we harvested green beans and blackberries from the garden. I am very glad we are starting to get a harvest from our garden!
I came to God's Loving Healing Center, at the bench facing the lake, which was to the south. It was a warm evening in heaven, just like on earth where I live. I felt clean and pure so I knelt facing the lake in front of the bench. I asked my Heavenly Parents to come to me. I then waited.
I next saw my Heavenly Father walking around the path that surrounds the lake to my left side. He walked up to me and asked me to walk with him around the path. I stood and came next to him. He put his right arm around my shoulder as we walked. We walked in silence for a minute.
'Raphael, we have described to you some changes in your diet as you transition into the millennium. There are other features of the body as it transitions from a telestial to a terrestrial state. One of these changes is the increased spirituality of a terrestrial person. He/she is able to receive with greater clarity and strength our revelations. They may feel more ability to see themselves like you have described seeing yourself clean and pure. They can perceive spiritual things on their own terrestrial sphere or be occasionally quickened to a celestial state and comprehend even God, the greatest of all!
12. The mind of a terrestrial person is significantly quicker functioning than that of a telestial person. The terrestrial person may quietly comprehend extensive plans and thoughts. Their mind might also calculate complex problems without having to write them down.
Emotionally, the terrestrial person feels happier. He/ she may control their feelings with greater ease. When thought and emotion control are learned in the telestial world, they will be controlled to a higher ability in the terrestrial world.'
We continued walking around the lake. I was starting to feel very tired back in my telestial world on earth. Heavenly Father said he would continue talking with me tomorrow and to meet both Heavenly Mother and him again at the bench. I thanked him for taking the time to walk with me and instruct me. I said I would return in the morning. I closed my prayer and retired to bed.
F. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 29, 2018, Sunday
1. I came to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I walked to the water's edge and drank some living water there. I then returned to the bench facing the lake. I knelt facing the lake and asked for my Heavenly Parents to come. I saw next my Heavenly Father come in a beam of light above the lake! He came to a point above the water and then walked up to me.
I gazed into his eternity eyes–so deep and understanding! He had a smile. I saw his white brilliant robe. His whole person was glowing with light.
'Raphael, my son, you can see how closely your earthly body is linked to your replicated celestial translated body that comes here to our celestial world. Last night you became tired on earth while I was walking and talking with your replicated body. You couldn't perceive well what I was saying at the end, and were fighting sleep. You are now much more alert and prepared to hear my words.
3. Not only is a terrestrial person more clear and refined in his/ her spirituality, mind and emotions, but also they have increased physical stamina and abilities over a telestial person. They have energy even to an old age, without much degradation in their ability to do physical labor. Their body ages in looks, but they are usually still very capable to the end of their life. They do die, but death comes quickly without lingering in illness or disease as happens with many who die in their telestial bodies. A telestial person goes to the world of the spirits where they continue on with the next phase of life. However, a terrestrial person is almost always immediately resurrected to the level of their glory that they were willing to receive in mortality. In the millennium, the great majority of our people will resurrect to a celestial glory. They then will be able to continue either living in the celestial realms on the earth or in heaven in our celestial world. They may frequently visit friends and family in the terrestrial world where they just left. This will be a great consolation and spiritual witness to those who see them and who remain.
4. There are other physical changes from a telestial to a terrestrial person. We had mentioned before that they no longer require the nutrients from meat, but derive all they need from plants. Their digestion is more complete and capable of extracting all the nutrients from what they eat than a telestial body. The foods, which are also terrestrial, are likewise more vibrant and mineral rich. These plants are able to be more energy dense, pulling from their roots the vitality of a terrestrial earth and living water that is found eventually in all the waters of the terrestrial millennial earth. This living water is on the earth because the two world centers have fountains of living water. One center is the New Jerusalem next to our celestial temple, and one fountain is in the Jerusalem of old. The living water flows over all the earth until all water it contacts is also transformed into living water. Even the rain becomes living water!
This living water eventually transforms all the water on the earth, once it intermingles with the earthly waters. The living water has precisely the same characteristics as living waters in our celestial world. It is one of the greatest blessings to those who live on the mortal terrestrial earth!'
5. At this time, I saw another heavenly light behind my Father, coming down from the sky to the surface of the lake. Heavenly Mother was in the light! She came soon to the left side of her husband. They smiled at each other and squeezed each other's hands. Then they turned again towards me and Heavenly Mother spoke:
'Raphael, your Father has described some of the many changes a terrestrial mortal will experience in the millennial day on the earth. I wish to share a few more changes. When a woman becomes pregnant in her terrestrial body, her growing child is more functional and stronger while growing inside of her and when being born. There is little pain experienced by the terrestrial mother in her childbirth. Her body is strong and recovers quickly. She is able to nurse her newborn with ease, providing all nourishment for her child until weaned. Mothers are capable to have as many children as they desire until the time of their childbearing is completed, for their physical terrestrial bodies are strong and vital. Even the last of her children are born with the same mineral level as the first, for the mother is able to maintain her mineral stores even with repeated pregnancies.
6. Childhood diseases and ailments, typical of telestial infants and toddlers, are rare in the terrestrial world. Children are generally happier and grow up without illness or disease. If there are physical issues or problems, these can be remedied with the healing herbs that grow in abundance all around.
Families are happier and children grow up without sin to salvation, as recorded in the scriptures. Family relations in extended families are based on more mature and healthy emotional strengths, making family ties very strong between the generations. Oh, it is a very lovely place in which to grow up!'
'Raphael, we have given you much to think about concerning the mortal terrestrial life in the millennium! We will let you absorb what we have shared before giving you more. Meet with us here at this lake during the sacrament and tonight when you pray to us. We will both be here to receive you!'
I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their great revelations to me today. I told them I look forward to their words later today. I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ and came out with my wife.
8. After church–Today my wife and I attended our own ward sacrament meeting. In heaven, I came to the bench in front of the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I heard some gurgling water. I turned as saw a small fountain behind me, whose water trickled down a very narrow stream to the lake to my left. I hadn't seen this small stream or the small fountain of living water before!
When singing the sacrament hymn, p. 193 "I Stand All Amazed", I came to my awareness of looking on the lake in front of me. I knelt in front of the bench facing the lake. On the last verse, while I was kneeling, I saw both of my Heavenly Parents come to me from the skies above. They came down to the lake then we walked up to a place in front of me.
They stood before me when the priest in the ward offered a blessing on the broken bread. When done, I voiced my covenant to my Heavenly Parents who were standing before me. I was then passed the bread in the ward and ate.
'Raphael, we accept the sacrament covenant that you have made today. In turn, we will always be with you in the celestial world and the celestial realms on the earth and will also send our Spirit to be with you always in the telestial world where you live.
In our terrestrial church, the Church of Christ in the millennium, I want to explain how high priestesses are involved in this church. There is a group of three sisters who lead the ward Relief Society, a sister leader and two counselors. These are the only representatives of me, their Heavenly Mother, to the high priestesses in the wards of this church. There are no other callings of high priestesses representing their office and me in any organization in the Church of Christ except at the ward level.
10. These three sisters report directly to me, their Heavenly Mother, and to the bishop for coordination purposes. I give them direct revelation for and in behalf of the sisters and high priestesses in the ward. These three also assist mothers in ordaining their 16 year old daughters to become high priestesses.
Each year these three sisters pray and choose three new high priestesses to take their places. I inspire them whom they are to choose. Upon their acceptance, these three are set apart by the existing three high priestesses as the new Relief Society leaders in the ward. Thus there is continued new perspectives and new energy that comes to this choice group of sisters in the ward.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother for her words about the Relief Society organization in the millennium! I knew it would be a great organization at only the ward level in the Church of Christ that would help perpetuate new high priestesses on the earth. I knew Heavenly Mother wanted this Relief Society very decentralized and to only report directly to her and to no stake or general leadership, nor even to the bishop except for coordination purposes.
The speakers began in the ward and my contact with my Heavenly Parents ended.
11. Evening– I came again to the lake at God's Loving Healing Center. I came to the stream of living water that enters into the lake from the fountain. The fountain is from a little hill with flowers and moss on it. The water comes up 6-8 inches in height and then gurgles down the slope, down the bank and into the lake. It is a very pretty place to see! I decided to drink from this stream the living water. I felt then very clear in my spirit and body. I knelt by the stream and faced the lake. There was a lovely sunset reflecting off the lake when I knelt. I watched it for a few minutes and then asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
I then saw a bright light from the celestial sun and almost instantly both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were in front of me! They were both smiling and seemed very happy!
'Raphael, you hadn't noticed this little fountain and stream that you are kneeling next to because it wasn't here before. Your Heavenly Mother and I decided to add this little feature next to our healing center recently. We may do these kinds of additions or subtractions from our terrain on our celestial orb as we desire.
We have made the sun set tonight so that its reflection would also be beautiful to you when you came in prayer tonight We both delight to please you, Raphael!'
I spoke:
'My Father and Mother, I thank thee both for such consideration and kindness to me!. I am eager for my fellow angels and family to also see the things I see, particularly thy faces, but also the great beauty of heaven!'
'All of these grandeurs in our celestial world, and even our faces, will be shown to every soul who sincerely seeks us as have you. There are great mysteries in both the terrestrial world during the great millennium and particularly in our celestial world, which will forever exist in eternity. We will show you and our faithful these great secrets and mysteries as fast as you are able to receive them!
Many of our mysteries of the terrestrial world that your earth is transitioning to will be discovered by those who first live in that day of change. For their children, they will accept it as the way things have always been. However, for the elect who see the transition from the telestial to a terrestrial earth, the changes will be astounding and great.
14. We have shared with you some changes that will occur in the physical earth, in our people, and in the plants, animals and environment. There will be many cataclysmic changes in the transition to the millennium, but once the full terrestrial world is established, the earth will become very stable and extremely regular. It will be a very lovely place of security and safety in which to raise families. Great faith and breakthroughs in spiritual experiences will be common among our blessed elect. We will reveal ourselves to many who call on us and seek our faces.'
'Raphael, the beauty of the earth will surpass what our children have seen since the fall of man. Colors will become more vibrant, tastes more rich, and beauty in great abundance for all to enjoy. Our children will often be overcome with the grandeur of our creations that will come forth from the earth. These experiences will add to the peace and safety so that the joy of our elect children will be greater than ever before realized among mortals!
Records will come forth from the earth to show details of how our children lived during the earth's previous 6000 years. All things will be revealed. You will bind Satan, Raphael, and he will no longer afflict or tempt man. Our children will then truly be free and loosed from the shackles of misguided thinking and wrong cultural thinking. Our revelations will flood the earth so all people will know us and our truths!'
I look so forward to this glorious millennial day of peace and rest! I thanked my Heavenly Parents for all that they have so abundantly given to me. I then knew their message was ended for me tonight. I thanked them for their promise to be next to me always in the celestial realms and to always have their Spirit to be with me in my mortal realm. I closed my prayer and spent time with my family.
16. Later–11:00 p.m. I read an email from R.S. where he had a question. He said his great grandfather had 3 wives. These were all three sealed to him in life in the LDS temple. What happens in eternity–does he give the other 2 he doesn't choose a paper of divorcement?
I came to Heavenly Father tonight and asked this question. Here is his response:
'Raphael, if a man or a woman has been married, sealed or divorced prior to this same man or woman being sealed by us in our celestial temple in heaven, these previous agreements are null and void in eternity. The only binding marriage and sealing is the one he/she chooses and God seals. The other commitments of marriage or divorce do not carry forward into eternity. There are no letters of divorcement required, for all are voided unless sealed by God as part of becoming a married couple in eternity.'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his clear answer tonight. I will now go to bed.

G. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 30, 2018, Monday
1. I have another beautiful week ahead! The sun is streaming in my adjacent room window this morning. I feel happy and ready to live my life today.
This morning I felt to go to the seashore of the celestial ocean. I actually went into the water to my waist too. It wasn't really "wet" but felt like the lakes that were fresh water, like Lake Beautiful. I came out and knelt on the sandy seashore, I think facing north. I asked my Heavenly Parents to come to me.
I saw next in the distance two people walking towards me. Soon my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother were in front of me on the seashore! I looked into their pleasant faces. Heavenly Mother wanted me to write her words she would speak to me:
2. 'Raphael, just before bed last night you contacted your Heavenly Father about a question about marriage. The only marriage created on earth that are valid into eternity are those that are finally sealed by either Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ or myself in our holy temple in heaven. Any marriages prior that are not sealed by God are not valid in the eternal worlds. This is also true about other relationships in the family: Sons and daughters in eternity are those who are sealed to their parents in the Church of Christ or in the LDS Church when they were authorized and valid. If these are not sealed to their parents, their identity in eternity is no more in the status of a son or a daughter. These relationships are reserved for those who receive their exaltation. If parents are not worthy of this great celestial reward, those children who are exalted are sealed to their ancestors who are worthy of exaltation. Therefore, in the celestial worlds, there is a vast relationship of husbands and wives, sons and daughters, grandparents, cousins, uncles and aunts and nephews and nieces. These relationships that continue into eternity are reserved for the gods who attain their glorious status in celestial glory.
3. Those who are rewarded a state of glory in the telestial or terrestrial worlds are still children of God, their Heavenly Parents, but they no longer have eternal relationships they once were born into in their mortal lives. They are single and alone with only the relationship as a son or a daughter of God. The other relationships of being a father or mother, son or daughter, fades from their memories in eternity, for their earth life they once had also becomes a distant memory of their past.
However, for the faithful who inherit all that we possess in the celestial worlds, all of their past experiences in their premortal, mortal and post mortal lives are still vivid in their memories. We have shared much of our own history with you from this era of our own lives and progression. However, were you to talk with one of our children who received a telestial or terrestrial glory, they would not be able to remember clearly their past lives.
4. This fading of their past memories is a blessing we give to them. Otherwise they would perhaps be racked with unpleasant memories of what could have been. We want them to be as happy as they can be.
For those of our children who receive a kingdom of no glory, we allow their memories of their evil choices to remain in eternity. This is what they really desired, so we allow these, their desires, to remain. These willingly and determinedly insisted on such a reward of no glory, no association with us, their God, nor of their previous brothers and sisters. They are alone and isolated with their memories in eternity.'
'Raphael, your unconscious associations with us as you are experiencing now on this celestial seashore, will become a vivid memory for you, once your mind is restored as a complete and integrated conscious and unconscious mind. This will happen for you at the beginning of the New Jerusalem era.
For our other children who become exalted, their full mind is restored once they are resurrected. Some unconscious memories may be restored when they die and go to the world of the spirits, but not all are restored then.
6. When one of our children is resurrected, they are quickened in the resurrection to their eternal glory they have achieved, either celestial, terrestrial or telestial. This necessitates that we judge them based on their works and the intent of their hearts. Once they are resurrected to one of these states of glory, they cannot progress from one level of glory to a higher, for their reward is fixed for all eternity.
For those who are resurrected as celestial beings, they may continue to receive their exaltation if they are elected by Jesus Christ to enter into the Church of the Firstborn. All those thus elected ultimately become a sealed couple in eternity, even a God and Goddess, King and Queen. For those who are celestial and not elected into the Church of the Firstborn, they remain celestial angels or servants to those who attain the highest degree of being a God.
"In the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and everlasting covenant of marriage];
And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase." '
8. I thanked my Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father for their words to me this morning.
Heavenly Father spoke again:
'Raphael, we have brought you here to this celestial seashore. There are grains of sand on our beaches here, innumerable to man. Your posterity in eternity will be as numerous as these grains of sand, and your joy with your beloved wife will be as vast as this ocean! Your joys and memories will continue to expand through all eternity. Such is the inheritance of the faithful who become like us.'
I looked out over the vast ocean and couldn't see the end. I looked on the sandy shore and also couldn't see the end. I thanked my Heavenly Parents for their great rewards that I truly can't now comprehend! I said I loved them and would always follow them and keep their commandments.
My vision then closed and I came consciously back in my adjacent room at my home on earth. I closed my prayer on my knees and started a new week.
9. Evening–Today I worked again at our rental house and visited with family afterwards. I am now in my recliner in the front room and want to connect to my Heavenly Parents in prayer.
It seems to me that I am barely keeping up with the flood of revelation coming to me these days. I talked with my sister K who's typing of all my journal entries has been a very heavy load. I surely could not keep up at this pace without her steady help transcribing my journals! I am so very grateful for her constant behind the scenes work she does!
Anyway, K had some questions on the phone that I answered to my best ability. I think everyone would benefit from these good questions:
Q1- How could our Heavenly Parents, who will have billions upon billions of children, have just 8 to begin with that it seems had a quiet idyllic life? Like sitting on the log partaking of the sacrament, just the 8?
A1- In my perspective, there was about to be a shift in heaven among the children of our Heavenly Parents. These eight sons were going to be faithful leaders in the lives of the other children who were coming. Life until this time had been pretty idyllic and peaceful. However, now there would be a wide variety of children, including females and also those like Lucifer who would turn away from our Heavenly Parents' plans. For these and perhaps others of their own reasons, our Heavenly Parents put these eight first children to be put under covenant of the sacrament.
11. Q2- What about architectural remains of animals, plants and human remains and entire cultures "proven" to exist 100,000's of years or even millions of years ago by carbon dating? We are told it was only 6000 years ago since the first humans, Adam and Eve. And yet the dinosaurs, sunken continents, etc., etc.??
A2- Our earth was created from scratch, and our Heavenly Parents chose to create the earth from the elements. When the rocks cooled, God chose to make the soil from decayed and dead plants and animals, for this was the telestial earth and that was the normal method to create the topsoil. It is my opinion that the earth in the beginning was populated with large animals including dinosaurs. I believe our Heavenly Parents began preparing the earth early in the premortal life of their children so it would be ready for placement of Adam and Eve on its surface. When our first parents were placed in the Garden of Eden, the earth had been fully prepared with rich topsoil, which could sustain life, all created before. A good book on this subject that I currently subscribe to is entitled "Earth in the Beginning" by Eric Skousen (see it here).
The carbon dating of plants and animals has recently been put into question too. Look online for "carbon dating problems" and you will see the great controversy in this method. I am holding judgment on all of these issues until it is fully revealed from our loving Heavenly Parents.
Summit at Murdock Peak
12. Q3- When on 7/23/18 R recorded in his journal that the sacramental covenant was presented to the first 8 sons and then much later to all of mankind ever to have been spiritually created–again, billions upon billions, how did they meet in the Great Assembly Hall and how did 8 "boys" administer the sacrament row by row to this incomprehensibly vast mass of people?
A3- I do not pretend to understand how God does these things, for all I saw is what occurred. I know that the sacrament was replicated, and probably our very persons in the spirit were also replicated many times over, along with the trays or cups that were passed to the congregation. If each of us archangel sons were replicated a million times over, then we would have been able to pass the sacrament to all in a fairly quick period of time.
Also, the Great Assembly Hall may be able to expand to accommodate any size congregation–who knows?
13. Q4-. Why would Heavenly Mother need to pick, mash, and strain grapes if she were God? And that makes juice, not wine, so why called "wine"?
A4- I think our Heavenly Parents do what they enjoy doing. I believe Heavenly Mother enjoys growing her vineyard, and also enjoys preparing the wine for the sacrament. She also enjoys baking bread. She also is more fully part of the sacrament that was being administered to her children when she herself prepared the emblems, the wine and the bread.
I know that crushing grapes makes grape juice, but it could have also been miraculously changed to wine similar to how Jesus changed the water into wine (see John chapter 2). I don't know anything more than I saw, however. I feel what I saw was correct.
14. Q5- And why would God (Heavenly Mother) need to "bake" bread. In what, an oven? But that makes no sense!
A5- See answer above.
15. Q6- I still don't fathom how our earth is the container for the bottomless pit (lower realms) while at the same time contains a celestial realm? Am I understanding that right? The thought of our Mother Earth being transformed to a terrestrial state but still having all those devils and Satan inside her sounds very disturbing to me. How does it all work?
A6- The bottomless pit is a telestial place for Satan to be bound during the millennium. The surface of the earth at this time will be in a terrestrial state. That will make the earth to contain a telestial, terrestrial and a celestial location.
Even now, in this telestial world, there are also celestial realms on the earth where God comes and angels work from, and terrestrial realms where other translated beings work from. We are already experiencing all the spiritual realms of glory on the earth. In the beginning, when God the Father and Mother came and gave physical birth to Adam and Eve, Satan and his hosts were on the earth too, only not allowed to tempt Adam and Eve yet until they were of age and prepared. Satan was later allowed to come into the beautiful Garden of Eden where both of our Heavenly Parents also lived (in their replicated states) at that time with Adam and Eve.
I think it has been the norm to have all the degrees of glory existent on a telestial world at the same time.
16. So these are some of my questions. But I also realize that there are many mysteries of God and I know all can be explained and understood when I have a mind capable of comprehending such things. I am also always surprised at how human our Gods are in one sense (they have emotions, hold hands, Heavenly Father tills the land, she prepares food and gardens etc., and they walk paths and gaze at sunsets) and yet how vast is their knowledge and capability. I cannot understand it. How they can meet with their own loved ones and other Gods and have relatives themselves? My mind gets boggled trying to wrap my head around it all!"
Tonight I came to the east end of Lake Beautiful and the small stream that exits this lovely lake. I faced the water and prayed to my Heavenly Parents, asking both or one of them to come to me.
I then heard some noise coming from behind me. I turned and saw Heavenly Father coming from my right backside. He came to my right side and put his left hand on my right shoulder. I was still kneeling. We both looked out over the lake and saw Heavenly Mother walking towards us, above the water! Soon she was next to his side. They then both came in front of me, holding hands, with the lake behind them.
'Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I come to you in various ways for our own purposes. We always like to appear in different ways and places, for we are both very creative and love to give you our revelations as fast as you are able to receive them.
You have commented to your sister today that you can barely keep up with the amount of information we give to you. You also said that it is coming so fast that you can't remember all of what was given even last week. Today you have listened to the last several posts to refresh your mind.
18. Raphael, we recommend that you continue to review your many posts. There is so much important revelation in these that we have directly revealed to you. If any people question whether your completed posts are from us or not, they should ask us for our confirmation. We will freely give them our revelations that you have been inspired to write and will confirm these are from God. They need to continue asking, testing and deeply thinking about our revelations. In this state of pondering, we will clarify their minds with our heavenly inspiration and revelations as well. We never want any of our elect children to become lazy and stop confirming what we reveal to you and to others. We want every one of our sons and daughters to know for themselves the truth of all things from us, their Gods, and to not just trust men, like you. Even after our elect children are exalted, they continue learning for themselves, with their white stones, the mysteries of eternity.
19. You might wonder what our elect children do in the millennium during each day, for they will not be as consumed with earning a living as those in the telestial world are. Instead, the men work whatever part of each day they need to provide for their immediate family. These men work generally part of the day in their trade, be it farming, a community service, or other employ. They have a medium of exchange (money) they will use to gain by selling and spending for needs they might have. The earth will produce in great abundance so that the same amount of labor in a telestial environment will produce many times more in that terrestrial environment.
20. Our children will own property that they will use to produce a living. Any excess they don't need will be deeded back to the bishop and used to bless the poor, or those who have less abundance, and for those who need more lands and monies for their own stewardships. There will be no envy of the gain of another, and all will be free with their abundance created from their labors. Early in the millennium, there will be a very great amount of abundance so that there will not be room enough to receive it!
Our people will use what they produce and all excess will be tithed and also some consecrated yearly to the bishop. If more money or land is needed for their stewardship, they will be deeded more from the bishop so they may fulfill their stewardship needs and their desires.
21. The wives of these men will bear the souls of men. They will be strong and very capable mothers, physically, emotionally and spiritually very able to rear and nurture their children in love. Those who choose will be blessed with large families. Children will grow up without sin to salvation. Service to others within the family and in the church and community will be freely given. Communities will be built up again all over the earth and will flourish based on love, kindness to others and great consideration and decorum.
22. As children mature, the young men will be conferred the Melchizedek priesthood at 16 years of age. The young women will receive the office of high priestess at this same age. They will generally marry after this time and will freely choose for themselves their own spouses. There will be great freedom in all the land, for the governments will be local and small and generally not needing money to be sustained. These will rely upon public service of their constituents for maintenance of community buildings, roads and needs. All people will feel very much contributors of their towns, which will be small. They will take turns in their civic duties.
23. I have shared a small part of the happy state of Zion, the pure in heart that will flourish in small communities over all the earth. Jesus Christ, Our Beloved Son, will be the great king and lawgiver for all. He will establish lasting peace all over the earth in his kingly role. He will also be the mighty high priest, being the great prophet and priest of the Church of the Firstborn. The president and prophet of the Church of Christ will also report directly to Jesus Christ.
This millennial world will be a wonderful and happy place in which to live. We, the Heavenly Parents of all, will frequently be seen in our celestial area in the New Jerusalem temple square. Raphael, your Heavenly Mother and I look forward to this great era of peace and happiness!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father for his amazing descriptions of the thousand years of the millennium. I said I too looked forward to this great day when the knowledge of God will spread all over the earth and the elect of God will be everywhere!
I then knew my time was done tonight. I looked again into my Heavenly Parents' smiling faces–they seemed so happy in the anticipation of these great days ahead! I closed my prayer in the name of Jesus Christ and then prepared for bed back in my mortal world.
H. R's Personal Journal Entry, July 31, 2018, Tuesday
1. This is the last day of July 2018–boy, do the days seem to just zip by for me!
I came this morning to the overlook from the edge of the fir forest, looking over Heavenly Father's wheat field below me to the east. I could see that the wheat was tall and still green. I looked around and didn't perceive my Heavenly Father or my Heavenly Mother. I knelt at the overlook facing the wheat field. I then asked that my Heavenly Father come or one of them come to me in answer to my prayer. I then saw both Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother on the dirt road just north of the field of wheat below me. They were both inspecting their wheat. They seemed very involved in what they were doing.
Heavenly Mother then looked up and saw me. She came to me in the air and when she arrived she smiled at me! She extended her hand. I stood and took her hand, and we both came down to my Father on the dirt road. He was examining his wheat–he had bent a few stalks next to the road to look at the wheat. When we came, he let go of the wheat and turned to us on the road.
'Raphael, we are glad that you came here to my wheat field this morning! These stalks of grain represent just some of our millennial elect who have already been born into mortality. They have grown rapidly and are yet green, for they haven't yet matured to their full growth and stature. However, in not many years they will be already to harvest!
I have been watching for tares among these elect and have found none. This is the first time in this eternity that the weeds haven't grown along the sides of my new wheat! These grains will develop soon and represent our millennial elect. These will be able to enter into the peaceful millennial day! The tares of their parent generation that are mixed with wheat are many and are already encumbering the earth. These tares will be burned with fire. However, these young and tender wheat plants are still immature. They will be spared the fires, for our angels and servants will protect them from the ravages coming on the earth so that they survive these last days' calamities.'
I then thought of the parable of the wheat and tares.
"Again, verily I say unto you, I will show unto you wisdom in me concerning all the churches, inasmuch as they are willing to be guided in a right and proper way for their salvation–
That the work of the gathering together of my saints may continue, that I may build them up unto my name upon holy places; for the time of harvest is come, and my word must be fulfilled.
Therefore, I must gather together my people, according to the parable of the wheat and the tares, that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory, when I shall come in the kingdom of my Father to reward every man according as his work shall be;
While the tares shall be bound in bundles, and their bands made strong, that they may be burned with unquenchable fire."
I then asked my Father about this parable of the wheat and tares, found in these verses and also in D&C 86 and Matthew 13:24-30. I asked if this green and tender wheat in his field was this same wheat?
'No Raphael, this miniature wheat has been born into the families of the earth, and are yet babies and small innocent children. Their parents on earth are those described in the parable of the wheat and tares. Many of them will be gathered also into the garners to possess eternal life, but all of the new green wheat will be gathered into the garners. These young and innocent wheat plants are now on the earth and will become the first generation to bring forth the families of the earth in the millennial day of peace and rest.
Their parents are now embroiled in a society and culture on your earth that is in great turmoil. The tares are yet at large, to seek to dissuade them from coming unto us, their Gods, and be fully gathered into our garners, protected by our holy angels and are guided also into the millennial days ahead.
Soon the wheat will all be gathered and protected by our angels and other servants. They will come to holy and safe places for protection. Then will the tares be bound together in bundles and be burned, even with the fire of the indignation of God:
"Therefore, let the wheat and the tares grow together until the harvest is fully ripe; then ye shall first gather out the wheat from among the tares, and after the gathering of the wheat, behold and lo, the tares are bound in bundles, and the field remaineth to be burned."
"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her."
8. Raphael, the holy places where our faithful who come unto us their God will be gathered are the safe garners we will provide. Mostly, these will be spiritual places of protection for our elect. Our angels will be fully involved as we direct them to protect our elect by our supernatural powers! Other servants will also be involved. It will be a day of reckoning for our elect, for they need to come unto us so that we may spiritually protect them from the turmoil coming on the earth! Some we will guide to physical places of protection also, but all those that we have chosen will be spiritually gathered into our garners.'
I thanked my Father for his descriptions of the way these scriptures will be fulfilled. I was also so glad to see this new green field of millennial wheat, or the new young elect. I know all of these elect will have such an amazing place to live in once the wicked are destroyed by fire and Jesus comes again to establish a very peaceful world!
My Heavenly Parents then turned from me and went back to inspecting and caring for their new green wheat. I could tell they loved these choice sons and daughters very much!
I then came to the awareness of being fully back in my adjacent bedroom, writing all of this vision down. I knelt and confirmed in prayer that what I had written was true. I then closed my prayer and started another day.
9. In the evening–We took two of our grandkids for their birthday adventure. We walked up the stream near the dripping rock trail in Spanish Fork–it was a very fun adventure! We stopped and ate a picnic dinner at a local park and then bought them treats. I love having our grandchildren close by!
This was a great day for me. It is now 10:00 p.m. and I am wanting to connect to my Heavenly Parents in prayer. I came to the circling waters tonight. It reminded me of the dripping rock stream that we took our grandchildren to today. I put my feet in the water in front of the bench. I then came in front of the bench and knelt down in the soft soil there, facing the circling waters. I asked for my Heavenly Parents to come.
Heavenly Mother came from my left, walking in the stream to the circling waters! I was surprised to see her up to her mid-calves in the stream! She came to the circling waters and then elevated herself above the water there. She was radiant and seemed so happy! Her eternity eyes were sparkling and she was smiling broadly.
'Raphael, I enjoyed watching you and your wife walking up the dripping rock stream with your two young grandchildren! It reminded me of my frequent walks in the mountain streams when I lived on my earth during my mortal experience. This is why I came to you tonight walking down the stream in the water. I so enjoyed reliving a moment of my past!
Some might think this is below my dignity as a God. However, I may choose to do anything in my world that pleases me and brings me joy. This experience has brought me a lot of momentary joy and fond memories! Living in celestial glory allows those who attain to this status to create the circumstances they wish and to relive enjoyable experiences such as I did tonight in coming to you in the stream. Your Heavenly Father loves to still farm his fields and so he does this in heaven, in our celestial world. We have created parables around his work.
11. I love to garden and prepare herbal remedies for my children. Therefore, I have created many gardens and remedy beds in heaven. We have made our many healing remedies available to our own children in their mortal experience. There are other celestial worlds where one of the Gods loves the ocean beaches. Therefore, there are an abundance of oceans and beaches in their celestial world.
We who are exalted may choose the environments we love for our own eternal worlds. Your Heavenly Father and I have chosen to create a celestial sun and moon and to control them at will so we may enjoy sunrises, sunsets, and dark nights with moonbeams. All is possible with our powers and we decide what experiences most bring us joy and satisfaction, and then we create it in our own world.
12. We have chosen to have Our Beloved Son be the firstborn of all our children. We then decided for this eternity to have the next seven children be sons who would become our archangel leaders. There are other Gods who choose a female to be the second child born, and a different number of leaders with a different length of time for their earth's temporal existence. They adapted their circumstances and events to reflect their desires.
We who are the Gods of our galaxy love to be creative and vary the way we appear to our children. By this time you know how we meet with you in various places and ways, always each one being unique and with meaning. Other Gods may do this in a different way.'
I thanked my Heavenly Mother to have shared so much of their personal touches with our own eternity. I told her I love how she and Heavenly Father created our worlds and eternity and I asked if I would always be able to perceive what they do in their interactions with me.
I knew my time had ended in prayer tonight. What a great blessing to have communed with my own Heavenly Mother! I closed my prayer and then visited with my lovely wife.
I. R's Personal Journal Entry, August 1, 2018, Wednesday
1. This morning I came to Heavenly Mother's beautiful meadow of buttercups in the mountains. It is a very pretty and upbeat place to come! I found a spot with grass surrounded by bright yellow buttercups. I then asked for one or both of my Heavenly Parents to come to me in prayer. Heavenly Mother then appeared to me gradually above the buttercups. She was smiling and had a slight reflection of the yellow happy buttercups on her face! I thanked her for coming to me this morning. I said I just reread her message last night and it brought me joy to see her so pleased and happy! I appreciated too her watching my actions during the day. I told her I loved her very much!
2. Heavenly Mother then spoke to me. She indicated that I should write her words:
'Raphael, my son, I love you and particularly all our faithful children who want to follow us and to keep our counsels. I am delighted to see you happy and enjoying your life fully. You recently read your own ward program when you attended sacrament meeting this past Sunday. It quoted 2 Nephi 2:25 "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy."
I take time to create beautiful vistas in our celestial world, such as this lovely field of happy buttercups. I love to think pleasant thoughts that engender uplifting feelings. There is a great purpose and meaning in living this way.
3. Raphael, you have been talking with your wife how hard and somewhat disappointing it has been that your son A. seems stuck at a 9-10 year old level in many ways. He looks 27 years old, but acts much younger. You have realized that because he looks grown up he should act grown up. This is an expectation that you realized you should drop. Instead, you decided to just enjoy him and accept him at whatever maturity level he may act like.
This is a pleasing and happier way for you to view and interact with your son. This attitude will not only create happier, accepting feelings within you, but will be perceived by him and bless his life too. I can tell that you have tried to shift your view of Amman and to accept him just how he is.
4. Your Heavenly Father and I love to interact and watch our children in mortality! We have great hopes for those who come unto us and are heavy laden. We give them rest, peace, and a way to control their thoughts and feelings. Life can be seen and experienced as burdensome, or it can be thought of as such a wonderful experience, regardless of circumstances that may be. The attitude of our children shapes their well-being and level of their happiness. It is all only in their own mind and can be changed without changing their circumstances.
There is so much to be grateful for! We love coming to our happy field of buttercups! They swell in my greater appreciation and love for which I am, what things have happened and what things I have planned. I love anticipation too of what events and joys I see coming to our children. When they are happy and responsive, I am filled with joy!'
I next saw Heavenly Mother look up and smile. I turned and saw my Heavenly Father, her loving husband, walking in the air to us! He came first next to her side and lovingly kissed her gently. I saw that she loved being next to him. She loved everything about him!
'My son, I too thrill in my heart when you and our children choose ways that will bring lasting happiness and joy. I continue also to be buoyed up by your loving and happy Heavenly Mother! She is so often smiling and filled with positive, happy feelings. These are not made up, but are very real and genuine.
We want to uplift and delight every one of our children. For those who allow us to lead them, and are responsive to us, we lead them to be the happiest people imaginable! Our way and manner of life is the happiest life we can create. We would not be satisfied with anything less!
Have this entry conclude your post 88 today. Name it "That You Might Have Joy!".
6. One last comment–You wrote last night your answers to your sister, Rachael's questions. You might not understand the events and things you see in vision. They might seem unreal or impossible. However, remember that with God all things are possible (see Matthew 19:26). With our mortal children, they often think in the perspective of their current mortal experiences and the ways of man. However, in heaven, in the celestial world, we do what men call the impossible all the time! Whatever we wish to do, we do. We have the very happiest and satisfying life possible!'
I thanked my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for their words and revelations they shared with me today! I have felt very uplifted with the truths and joy that flows from them. I thanked them for the patterns they have made for me to come to them twice a day in prayer and to receive so much in return! I then bowed my head and closed my prayer. I felt so revitalized in my prayer this morning!
