GOD'S VISION OF A BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL PLACE WHERE THE AFFLICTED AND BROKEN ARE MADE WHOLE, IN JESUS' NAME
God the Father in Heaven has been giving me a vision of a beautiful, peaceful place on this earth where the afflicted and broken can find refuge, peace, healing and wholeness, in the name of Jesus. Above the entry door, are the words, COMPASSION FOR THE AFFLICTED AND BROKEN, and the entry leads to a beautiful, large sanctuary with a huge CROSS window facing the south and pouring in glorious light that floods the entire place. There are lots of leafy plants, natural lighting, soft, comfortable chairs to rest in, murals on the walls with color-filled scenes from the OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS, especially scenes from the GOSPELS of Jesus' birth, the many miraculous healings He performed, His crucifixion on the CROSS and His resurrection on EASTER. There is gospel and passionate Christian worship music playing throughout the sanctuary at all times. There is an amphitheatre where ministers can passionately preach God's Words of LOVE AND GRACE from the BIBLE and guests can listen while they rest. There are skylights that open the sanctuary up to the stars and the glorious universe that God has made. The entire place is run on solar and wind power. And there is a humongous, beautiful garden outside the building, a walking trail and a playground for the children of guests. The entire place is filled with compassionate, Jesus' loving people who have been trained to minister to and counsel and pray with the afflicted and broken people who come to the sanctuary in search of WHOLENESS, REDEMPTION and RESTORATION. There are beautiful, peaceful offices on the sides of the sanctuary for each of the ministers, counselors and prayer partners. And there are comfortable, albeit small guest houses throughout the property where guests can stay for as long as a they need to stay and rest. Each of those guest houses has a BIBLE, a prayer journal to write in, and soft, peaceful, restful decor. There is a Christian library to the side of the sanctuary where people can read and borrow books by Christian authors and writers. On the walls of the library, are selected Bible passages that inspire and encourage the guests. There are also classrooms on the side of the sanctuary where guests and Christian teachers can meet to have Bible studies, discuss Christian books in community and participate in fellowship groups. There is also a dining hall that features nutritious and wholesome food that fortifies and heals the body. This is just the beginning of the vision that has been given to me, and I pray, in JESUS' GLORIOUS AND COMPASSIONATE AND HOLY NAME, that God provides the resources which brings this place (and even more places like it) into existence to serve the physical, mental and especially spiritual welfare and well-being of the broken and afflicted and to minister to their individual needs, again IN JESUS' NAME. LOVE ALWAYS, DIANE
