The following happened two hours ago.
A man who looked like he was in his early seventies on two crutches, came into my shop with his wife early this morning.
From the side of the counter where customers pay from and as he entered my shop he stood right in front of me and he point blank said to me. “ You have to keep your equilibrium. “
I was shocked! This was very unusual! Days earlier I had wondered why I have not had another supernatural encounter. It was about time I had one I had thought to myself. The memory of having thought this now returned as the man in front of me addressed me directly and repeated that I had to keep my equilibrium.
BUT REALLY!
Have you ever gone into someone’s shop and told them straight off the bat, what to do? Either this chap was crazy or not. He continued to elaborate and said that if I don’t keep my equilibrium I will DIE. I immediately sought guidance from within to test this spirit. All I could find to say was “ We all die. “ He smiled looked away and went on to inspect the meat I have in the shop hanging up for sale.
I felt discomfort. This was not the usual occasion of communication from a client who as a complete and utter stranger to me, was in my shop telling me what to do how to do it and warning me if I do not I will die!
He returned to the counter after selecting a piece of meat I have for sale. Can you believe it, he repeated that I have to keep my equilibrium! This time he struggled to include a physical representation of what he was saying to me. I looked into his faded blue eyes as he continued whereupon he balanced himself on the other crutch to lift up his other hand out of the support of the alternate crutch. As he let go of his support his hand lifted up and he explained. “ If you perpendicular, you will…” and then he demonstrated with his hand raised up as from a position of blessing, he made his hand fall forward as in a straight toppling over and in so doing he added visually what he had said would happen verbally….., I can tell all of you, I GOT THE PICTURE!
He continued with MORE! Now you know brethren I am in a new business of selling meat right. My attendant had brought the piece of meat this stranger had selected. He had been conversing with my attendant in his own Native language that I cannot understand. “Show off! “ came the thoughts to me, as he seemed to converse so fluently and amicably with my attendant who actually as been a valuable asset to my business. I felt left out and excluded. I thought no wonder Paul said if you speak in tongues TRANSLATE! To this thought, the counter thoughts rose up immediately in my mind that he is able to converse with anyone in their own language and that he speaks to me in mine. Besides which, I was busying myself in another section of the shop as he was being helped by my assistant so was not being rude he was being amicable and was extending joy and peace. My usually stoic appearing assistant was actually smiling.
He returned to the counter with my attendant who in an almost condescending way, explained to me that the man only wanted the fat off the meat he had chosen. What was so strange is that coming from ANYONE ELSE would have raised my objection because you simply do not cut off the fat from a show piece of meat, break the seal of the spices that it has marinated in only to take of the bit of fat. You just do not do that but guess what? I had absolutely no objection to doing this for this particular person. Without any qualms I took the meat and proceeded to cut off the white fat.
Then this stranger asked me if I had ever had anyone come in to my shop to ask to buy the fat only. Well I can tell you all, that this kind of request is most extraordinary that I sincerely doubt it will ever happen again! Before I even gave a further thought, the stranger said to me “ Meat kills. “
Well can you imagine hearing such a thing? Already I am in a spiritually alerted awareness wondering what spirit this stranger was sporting in my shop and then he says “ Meat kills.”
Well that statement really floored me. Can meat KILL! In the natural this is understandable but in the spiritual does this apply too? I really do think so! Was his purchase and meaning to say no one should eat meat? No. I do not think so. He was saying and cautioning that anyone should only eat that meat that is coming from a pure clean source in the natural and in the spiritual this would mean to me that the teaching from God comes via such teachers appointed by God and not by self appointment or qualifications won in Bible schools and Theology centres of Babylon.
I think you all know that I believe that Ray is a teacher sent to us by God. I see Ray has an unparalleled career that presents the Word of God with the definitive profile of the most important Voice of any century being the Voice of the Spirit of Christ. Ray mirrors throughout his teachings the mind of Christ and those qualities that makes the Son of God truly great, the huge personality, warmth, energy and above all the sheer beauty of extraordinarily liberating teachings.
The stranger did not come to purchase any meat from me but fat and only his wife selected some meat for herself. She had selected some sausages. I emptied them into the scale so as not to charge her for the brown paper packet. I weighed them handling them only with my gloved hands, as is my custom. I have plastic disposable gloves in prominent positions in my shop for people to put on so that bare hands do not contaminate the exposed meat. No one is permitted to touch the meat without first putting on a glove. The man then complimented me for using gloves but I noticed that his tone was as if he had almost forgotten an inner impulse to encourage me. He suddenly spoke fast and almost with a sense of inner urgency. He said and I can not recall his exact words but he communicated approval for the fact that I had gloves in my shop. He said and this I remember, “You have to be careful who handles the meat and who you eat it from.” He was purchasing the meat from my shop so this statement was an encouragement not a correction. Of course hygiene is essential to handling foods. What stuck me was I too need to be cautious of who I too eat God’s words from who’s minds and thoughts and this is exactly what I have been seeing and saying in the Forum in regard to more recent threads opened where authors who give their own touch on the word of God, I believe contaminate the meanings. It came to mind again that this person had asked to purchase only the oil or fat of the meat and had said to me “Meat kills.” I have never heard such a thing in all my life but I do know I fed meat to a little bird that I rescued from having fallen out of its nest. It seemed to grow and sing and then it died. Was the meat too much for it? I really do think it was! Then came a most unusual request.
As I received the payment still with the glove on my hand and returned the change to his wife as the man kept himself supported on his crutches he noted with great emphasis “ Money is the most filthy thing in all the world.” Then he asked if I had a wash basin to wash. I have a private kitchen in my shop and without hesitation, I obliged hoping that my kitchen was in order! His wife silently followed me and as I took her in, I was happy to see that Freddy, my helper was busy at work and all was clean and as it always is. I showed her the basin, pointed her to the clinical soap that gave me a hint of satisfaction for being medicated after hearing that “ Money is the most filthy THING in all the world” and left her to wash up. (What vast sums of money, pledges and tithes does Babylon, Christendom and TV ministries handle?
What contamination their meat! )
I returned to the front of the shop and the man said another strange thing. He said that he and his wife came in two separate vehicles. Now why on earth communicate such a thing? Time seemed to stand still. Why would such a statement contain anything important for me? Well, I can assure you it did. His wife came out of the kitchen, looked at me and acknowledged me with a kind glance that showed gentleness, life and a ting of joy through her eyes and without saying a word she followed her husband out of the shop.
I wanted to acknowledge something had moved me so I said in farewell, “God bless you.” I saw his back had already turned towards me and I only saw a slight physical response as he did not respond in any other way to return to this greeting. I felt awkward to say the least so returning to my inner council I felt the impulse to follow the man to the street and to THANK him for his messages. I saw him get into his car and his wife was already in hers. They were old cars of no outward show or glitz or glamour. I hurried over to his van he was driving. He saw me coming and as I came to his window he wound it down and I gratefully thanked him for his messages saying I had heard what he had said. “ What message?” He queried. I replied feeling a little taken aback “The one where you said I should keep my equilibrium…..” He responded. “ Yes.” Taking his hands away from the steering wheel of his vehicle again he demonstrated a smooth calm line and said….” It is a good wish….”….A soft but very tangible warmth seemed to pour out of his pale blue eyes.
Have you ever felt that you are in the presence of greatness? I wanted to say more and to tell him I had heard all the messages but only the first one came out. Well that was the message that held the caution.
On returning to my shop I was thankful that the message was not an omen. We know we do not have free choice here in BT. I know that if I am not going to keep my equilibrium I will rise up in whatever emotion that precipitates a fall and death as spoken by this man and if that is to happen then it will happen.
I felt comforted that his last words to me and the softening of his face as he assured me that it is a GOOD WISH….
As I returned to my shop I realised that God does not wish that I die. I should not pursue look for or yearn for my death but to life in His Spirit is the call. I thought too that I must not rise up but perpendicular downwards like a root into the dark cold earth rather than rising up to reach for the sun. God does not wish that any should perish. He also takes no pleasure in the death of His Saints. I do not make any claim to be either a saint or perishing. God alone knows.
I was tempted to take the name of the person but I knew in my heart that this man was an instrument through which I believe God spoke to me. I felt restrained to ask the man anything at all. For all I know, he may or may not have known that he was instrumental to delivering a message that for me had most timely relevance.
I have shared this experience with you all because it is my way of doing what this stranger has told me. I would have so loved to have asked him if I should perpendicular downwards into being more underground than above but I believe the answer to that question is quite obvious. How it will manifest I do not know yet. All I know is that this encounter changed my entire demeanour within. I felt so calm, so balanced, in love and in peace.
Peace to you
