Through The Fathers Eyes.
I would like today to say to the Fathers around the world how very important you are, not only that, but that you are loved so very much. I was thinking about something so awesome and it refers to my Dad. An event that took place that had me in awe. I mean totally, just in amazement to actually try to figure it out. What I mean is, to see what my Dad was seeing. I sat with him during one of his recent stays at the hospital, and to me, at first, I was saddened to see my father being so sick, or what appeared to be sickness. See, my father had slipped into a state of mind that to the natural eye seemed like a near death or time being short for him, as he lay there not in his normal state of thinking. Most of the time, he would be lay there with his eyes closed and I began to see something. To my amazement, He was having a conversation, not an earthly talk but Holy Spirit type language. Constantly, he would be saying, “Yes Lord, Oh My Goodness, Praise the Lord”. “The best is yet to come”. He would say this over and over and then right back to thank You Lord. He was speaking in a language that only he and God knew what was being transpired. It hit me, he is seeing something the normal natural eye would not be able to comprehend. He was seeing in the Spirit what was ahead of Him. You see friends, what Dad had been experiencing, was a view that only God himself can show him. A glimpse into the Heavenly realm. I was thinking, my goodness, here I sit feeling so bad for him and he has no thought of an earthly person. But, now he was seeing into the place he had preached about for so many years. I sort of thought to myself, if I could just get one glimpse for just a moment, it would be so awesome. So I closed my eyes to see what I could see. Well, I was not able to see what I feel Dad was seeing, but when I opened my eyes, he was looking straight at me with his eyes wide open with this big huge smile. I stood beside his bed and leaned down to say thank you to him. For a brief moment, he smiled at me and then so boldly he proclaims to me, “Hey Robinette!!!” I said, “Yes Dad”, He says, “Hold on, we are almost there, the Son of God is coming soon.” Oh my, powerful to say the least. Think of the thief on the cross with me for a moment, seeing Jesus hanging on the cross, I honestly could see him saying WOW!! What is he seeing, who is he talking too? He must see something I don’t. Either way, I sure do want to find out. Now, today, forever he is with Jesus in paradise. Well, praise the mighty God we serve! I know to whom my earthly Dad was talking too that day. I would promise you this, it is the same man that the thief spoke too. And soon, my Dad will be forever in paradise. I have prayed to the Lord many times over and over in my years and have not ever had something as profound spoken more boldly to me. To be able to see, is to first recieve it. Recieve the fact that our heavenly Father had eyes for only us and when he recieved it, as he hung his head and died, we now can see through our Father’s eyes what God has in store for His children.
A few years ago, we were preaching a revival in Gloucster, VA and I had an experience that I will never forget. We were having the water service, and a man stood up and asked for prayer. As he came forward, I noticed he was blind. I told him to close his eyes and step into the water with me. As he stepped into that water, he said to me, “I may never see you physically, but I can see what you are talking about in the Spirit”. He was so satisfied with what he saw in the Spirit, he no longer had a desire to see anything this physical world had to offer. So Today recieve Jesus and see what what the Father has to offer.
God Bless
