Visions of Jesus – Buck Eaton These were received at the Leader's School in Toronto during the week Mark Virkler taught on Communion With God: “As I looked for vision, I saw Jesus and myself walking together, and I asked the Holy Spirit to take over the vision. Instantly, I saw myself starting to shrink until I totally disappeared. As I looked at the vision, I thought, 'Where did I go?' “All of a sudden, the picture changed, and I saw the face of the Father from the left profile gazing upward. I knew instantly that He was thinking of me, but it was billions of years ago, before the foundation of the earth. He was planning me in His thoughts. “The picture suddenly changed again; just as before, I saw Him at a left profile, but this time He was looking down at something. I looked over His left shoulder and I saw the sperm and the egg coming together. The Father had such an excitement on His face as He was watching over my creation. I heard Him say to Himself, 'Here comes Buck!' “Again, the picture changed, but this time He was looking upward at an unformed embryo in my mother's womb. He was looking at me and He was speaking His love for me and His plans and purposes for my life. The vision ended there and for the first time in my life I knew the Father was my true father. He was my Daddy. My earthly parents did not even know I was there yet. “He had planned me billions of years earlier and was excited about my conception as it occurred. He then spoke life into me before my mother was aware I was even there yet. “This vision gave me a sense of value to God that I had never known before. I grew up with self-image problems and this totally changed when my Father showed me how He saw me before I ever took a breath on the earth, before I ever experienced any rejection. He had planned, watched over, approved and spoken life into me. He was my true Father that knew me before any person knew I even existed. In the Throne Room “The second vision occurred that same week, but during the early morning worship time that begins each day at the Leader's School. Mark Virkler taught us that we could apply the same principles of looking for vision during worship and simply write the vision later. So, that morning I told the Lord that I wanted to come into the Throne Room and sing to Him. I am not a singer, but I knew the Lord inhabits my praise, so I knew He could handle it. “I asked the Holy Spirit to take me to the Throne Room. I looked for vision again, and instantly I saw an open door. I walked in and could see the Throne, but there was a haziness covering my Father and I could only make out the outline of His legs. But, I saw Jesus standing up next to the Throne leaning very casually against it with His left elbow resting on the right armrest of the Throne itself. “Jesus' ankles were crossed as He stood there completely relaxed against His Father's chair. As I looked at the scene, I noticed Jesus had the coloring of a person. I tried to look through the Glory to see my Father as I had in the previous vision, but could not see Him. So, I focused my eyes on the eyes of Jesus and began to sing to Him. My total focus and attention was upon Him. I did not look away to break eye contact with Jesus. “After a couple of moments, all of a sudden, our Father jumped off the Throne and landed on both feet with His arms outstretched and said, 'I want to be a part of this!' This was a big surprise to me. I was stunned for a moment, but I collected my thoughts and said, 'Okay, I will sing to both of You.' “Jesus and our Father stood side by side as I started singing praise and worship to Them. I noticed that the Father did not have the same coloring as Jesus did, Who looked like a man. He was completely brilliant, 'white as the light,' as Matthew 17:2 describes the transfiguration of Jesus. The only comparison I can think of that somewhat resembles what I saw, is a bolt of lightening. Also, in this vision, They were exactly the same height. “After a few moments of singing to Them both, Jesus reached out with His right hand to my upper left arm and brought me into an embrace with my Father. As we embraced each other, I could feel His love pouring over me and through me. I thought to myself that I would never leave this place. I am in the bosom of the Father. Can there be any better place in all existence? But, after a little while, Jesus reached out again to me and pulled me back, pointed me back to the door and said, 'Now take this love and share it with My people.' “As I stepped back and heard Jesus say these words, I noticed that every part of me that had been in contact with the Father, from my waist up to my face, had become the same 'white as the light' that consumed our Father. “I said to myself, 'This is going to be easy,' – referring to the words Jesus had commanded me to do. I had always been nervous and fearful about doing the work of the ministry. But this had completely delivered me of that fear. With my Father's touch upon me, I knew He had made me capable of following His calling and the fear instantly left. I could walk out His plans for my life without any fear whatsoever. Thank You, Jesus!!” Dream Interpretation – The Pencil Dream: I was at a resort with a friend. Someone came around handing out those classic yellow wooden pencils. I got one and put it behind my ear. We were about to sit down when two thugs came over and demanded my pencil. I stood to face them, ready to fight. Background: The only thing in my life that I was aware of when I had this dream was that I was very busy. Interpretation: The friend was no one I could see, but I just knew he was there with me. This friend is often in my dreams and for me represents Jesus. A resort should be a place of low stress, few demands, and just an enjoyable time. The pencil was a gift and for me represents writing—something I did not seem to have time to enjoy because of the busyness. This then would suggest that the thugs, who were demanding that I hand over my pencil, would represent that busyness and anything that may influence it. The acrostic for busy that I learned somewhere was “Being Under Satan's Yoke.” It would seem I have again allowed myself to be drawn into that yoke. God wants me to use the gift and I need to be prepared to fight to keep things from robbing me of the privilege of using my pencil. By the way, as the son of a carpenter and a cabinetmaker, many years ago, I often find a pencil behind my ear—one habit I have no thought of breaking. Effect on My Life: As a result of this dream I am taking steps toward off-loading my schedule and taking back the time I need to write, to prepare to write, and to promote my writings.

You Know You're a Missionary Kid When… You can't answer the question, “Where are you from?” You speak two languages, but can't spell either. You flew before you could walk. You have a passport, but no driver's license. You watch National Geographic specials and recognize someone. You would rather eat seaweed than cafeteria food. You speak to different ethnic groups in their own language. You have strong opinions about how to cook bugs. You have friends from or in 29 different countries. You sort your friends by continent. You do your devotions in another language. You are grateful for the speed and efficiency of any postal service. Having four distinct seasons other than: dry, very dry, rainy, very rainy, is a new experience. New Translations Posted – Spread the word to those who could benefit!
