Reflections of Christian Believers Fellowship meeting at Grace and Peace Gardens

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

             It is my joy to reflect upon the evening we spent together at the Grace and Peace Gardens! Nearby, at the foot of a lovely bridge, stood gracefire, warmly greeting each of us at our arrival. It was her desire to create in this garden, in her little way, the very atmosphere of Heaven! The sky of violet and indigo made a lovely backdrop to trees, shrubs, and flowers of every hue. Sounds of praise filled the air, as she played her most cherished songs for personal worship.

              We met on a stone walkway furnished with park benches carefully painted with magnolias. Gracefire invited us to come join her in the sitting area on the left. A plump cardinal was enjoying the bubbling flow of a fountain. Behind the stone benches, planters of various shapes and sizes held blooming flowers, each unique in quality. Gracefire explained that this represented each of the members in the Body of Christ, all different yet each essential to do God's will upon the earth.

               Next, gracefire invited us to see her mountain. We waded through a winding river that ran through the entire garden. Brush, rocks and trees on the banks helped to show the way to the source of the flow: twin waterfalls! Curved cliffs of a mesa stood high before us, with streams rushing down to the land below. Gracefire explained that this represented Psalm 46:4-5, which proclaims:

              "There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, right early."

                Several spry avatars a'm_a_z_e'd onlookers below as we climbed the cliffs to enjoy the view from the top of the mesa! To the right of the river, there was a cozy picnic spot. To the left of it was a large covered pool. This looked inviting to us after our mountain climbing adventure, so we quickly headed there to take a dip! As we arrived, gracefire explained that (with the help of SheepHerder) she fashioned it after the healing pool of Bethesda in John 5. It represents the place where an angel came to stir the waters for healing, but even more so to illustrate where a man who had been impotent for thirty-eight years was made whole by the power of Jesus!

           Steps on each side led up to a railed patio area on the roof of the healing pool. We enjoyed dancing here to more great praise songs which filled the air. The view from this spot was so picturesque. Soon, gracefire invited us to come down and walk across the gardens to hear the message prepared for this night. We ambled across the stone walk and the bridge that crossed the winding river. After peeking in the gazebo and splashing a bit of water from the flowing tiered fountain, we found our way to the fancy iron park benches.

                Mary Katherine Baxter began to share her testimony of her vision, a visit to hell and heaven! She had been taken there in the spirit to let others to know what awaits them. Jesus showed her what happens to souls when they die. There were sorrows for the unbelievers as well as the servants of God who do not obey their calling. Then, Baxter was shown the realms of heaven!! She described the order of heaven, what happens to children who die, and the scene at the very throne of God! These breathtaking glimpses of heaven turned our hearts toward the beauty and joy that await every believer in Christ! Her complete story can be found at http://www.spiritlessons.com/

               We were so moved by this message, so awed by the beauty and majesty that was described. We began to praise and worship the Lord for His mercies. Prayer requests were lifted and prayers of faith were offered. One man present was suffering with a shoulder injury, but received healing instantly as another man prayed for him! This is the Will of God for His children! Jesus leads us by the Holy Spirit to gather in one accord, pray in agreement with His Word, and magnify the Father as one Body!

            I thank God for doing this holy work in each of our hearts, that we will shun hell and desire heaven with every fiber of our being! May our lives draw the lost to seek the mercy of God! This is my prayer for every member of the Christian Believers Fellowship!

All My Love,

Garden of Grace

I want to make this a peaceful haven for people to come to fellowship, pray, worship, and see evidence of God's goodness. I love gardens, and plants, and it provides me one of the biggest examples of God's goodness. One seed, planted, dies in the earth, only to sprout into new life, breaking the ground, and reaching for the sun (son). It becomes a plant, with many leaves, and many blooms which produce MANY seeds. And each seed holds the potential to begin the cycle again. Now, that's what I call God's goodness and His abundance. What seeds are you sowing, today?
