Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

Notes From The Fortress of Solitude

In the world of comic books, Superman had his place to retreat, the Fortress of Solitude. It was located near the North Pole, far away from the world's distraction and hectic pace. It was his secret place. I also have a secret, retreat place. It's a place to meet with a real-life hero, Jesus of Nazareth.

I used to call it "my cave", but it's not a place to escape from life, nor is it a hole in the ground. I don't run to it only when things go bad, or when I get wounded. When I'm there, I'm not in the dark. You see, it's a place filled with light. When I go there the atmosphere of Heaven surrounds me. It's where I find strength, strategies, and revelation. It's my high tower. It's my personal Fortress of Solitude.

The Shower Of Gold Coins

The following was experienced on June 14th, 2011 as I woke up. My body was wracked in pain from ongoing illness. The only way I know of to do deal with this is to fall into God's presence by worshiping Him. As I entered into worship, God poured out His grace. He is so faithful. He has me enrolled in His "Heavenly Pain Management Program". He's such a good, good God.


================================



Ruach, God's Holy Spirit, whisked me away in the spirit. We flew as eagles, high above the Earth, soaring through the air currents, crossing hills and valleys, even oceans and continents. Ruach pointed out His children of light. As He said this, I could see these objects of His affection. Although I was far above, I now had the eyes of an eagle.

I saw people wandering around, emaciated, beaten down, walking as if without purpose. I could smell the air that rose above them. When it reached the nostrils on my beak, I sensed an odor of great discouragement and disillusion.

The great revealer Eagle told me, "Many of My people do not realize the condition that they are in. Some have poured themselves out to make Jesus known, but have been repeatedly bruised by the world system. They have almost given up. Some have even stopped talking to Me. I brought them into this wilderness crucible for a purpose. The Earth is about to go through changes that they are not ready for right now. The passion fire of my love will transform them, but right now, morale is low. They need a token. I will shower them now."

Ruach snapped His wings in midflight. A tinkling rhythm of metallic sound burst from His flapping wings, marking a steady deluge of cascading amber gold coins. The shower sprayed right through a dark cloud below us. The wind spread out the concentrated, sparkly flow much in the same fashion that a chef might sprinkle salt over a casserole from a little higher up, to evenly cover the dish.

Ruach continued, "I love them so. They must know that Heaven is listening."

With that, the sky was filled with swooping, angelic troops, as if they were shower number two, after the gold rain. The host hovered above their targets, breezing them with warm currents to awaken them from the lull. I could see the dots of people, who were scurrying about in random anti-pattern, snap with life into springing stride.

I heard joyful shouts. One said, "My Lord still hears me. I haven't lost Him."

Another overlapped her praise, "I found my token. My prayers are being answered. I can go on!"

And another, "I didn't lose my way. He hasn't given up on me!"

Like popcorn in a microwave, the praises trickled in, increasing in frequency and volume. I looked over to my Holy tour guide, who now was joyfully rotating through the cirrus clouds, twirling, even flying upside down. This is catchy. I had to join Him in the wind dance.

"I love them! I love them! I love them!", He cried out.

Then He did something most unusual. He descended from the clouds with bristling speed. I tried to follow but could not keep up. He moved into lightning speed, then flew right through the abdomens of the kingdom folk - men, women, and children. He continued around the globe.

From my aerial view, I saw a golden thread follow Ruach's trailblaze. He was knitting.

"Ah, oil running down Aaron's beard", I thought.

I understood now, another aspect of what the garment of Christ is, as I observed Holy Spirit masterfully weaving through the bridal fabric. When He was done, I became undone. What was, just moments before, a chaotic mess, now took my breathe away. A huge bolt of Heavenly cloth, shimmering in iridescence and splenderous glory sparkle, now covered this select body of believers. Cloaked and closely knit in holy tapestry, now they would move and act as one.

----------------------------------

To the side, through my peripheral, I saw a huge, brawny, buff angel look toward heaven.

Lifting his sword up, he declared in booming voice, "Let the training continue!"
