Chapter 23
A Daddy Caring for His Son
By Ernie Knoll
Some time had passed by and there was no message from heaven. There had been no current messages or instructions. It was a while since the list of those whom God had found worthless that would receive His wrath.
I noticed the news and of the continuous reports of earthquakes, fires, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, excessive heat and cold, and erupting volcanos. There is much evidence of destruction and how the Holy Spirit is being withdrawn.
I remember retiring early one evening. I was very tired. And as I fell asleep, I was having a long talk with my Father, my Daddy. I knew I kept speaking night after night and how it seemed like day after day, week after week, and month after month. I remember my one-sided conversation of how all suddenly seemed to become so quiet, and that after years of many dreams that all heaven was quiet. I was used to being in constant communication, but now it was nothing. In my mind I knew I would never doubt, because I know it was by His watch not mine.
In my dream, I am sitting in a rocking chair. I am looking out over a field of green grass. I see a herd of deer grazing on the grass. I notice several fawns and I think about how life goes on. As I look up at the sky, I see a dark blue sky. I hear birds singing in the distance. I look down and in front of the porch are a lot of different colored flowers. Butterflies move from flower to flower.
I am rocking back and forth just relaxing. Then I hear the sound of an old 1930’s truck pulling up next to the house. I look over to the right side of the porch, and I see an old man with a dog get out of the truck and make their way up the steps of the porch.
As he comes up the steps, he calls me by my name Ernie and says, “It is a good day to relax on the porch. The view can’t be beat.” I am looking at him and wondering who is he and how does he know my name. And how does he seem to know me so well?
He comes over with his dog and sits in the other rocking chair. The dog sits next to the rocking chair. He starts telling me what a beautiful day it is. He comments on the little herd of mule deer in the distance. Then he looks over at me and asks how I am doing. He asks if I have been getting some rest. I look at him and I tell him that I need to speak in all truth. I stop rocking and lean forward. I ask him who he is because I do not know him.
The dog looks up and barks, and the man reaches down and rubs the dog’s head. He laughs and says, “Ernie, it never gets old. You know you were told once something very important.”
“You see what you expect to see,
not necessarily what is really there.”
He points back out to the field where the deer are and all seems to fade away. It is now just a big barren field.
The man gets up out of the rocking chair and holds out his hand, and his appearance changes to the Guide angel. He speaks my heavenly name and immediately tells me that the Father greatly enjoys my constant conversation. He loves to just sit and listen to your every word.
Then he says that since this place is not real would I come with him. I hold out my hand, and I am immediately on a path with beautiful trees everywhere and many different flowers.
Along the path he speaks a word and up from the ground comes a chair that I can sit on. He speaks again, and I have an area ahead that resembles a small white wall. He tells me that first I am to remind all a little of what I was shown in the dream, “Sitting by the Feet at the Throne of God,” on January 18, 2014.
Next, I hear God call my heavenly name and say, “I look forward to the day when I can wrap my arms around each of my children. You are my child, and there is not a day that goes by that I do not hear your thoughts. There is not a day that I do not cry, that I do not laugh. I am there when you fall to pick you up. I am there when you are sick. I am there when you are playing. I am there when you are working. I am there watching you sleep. There is not a day that goes by that I am not standing next to you. I am there at your darkest and loneliest hour. I stand there with my arm around you, even though you cannot see or feel my arm around you. You are my child, and I love and want to care for you. My children, I am your Father, and I love you.” I now fully realize that this message is not just for me, but for each of His people. It is a message for those who want to know and accept it.
The Father continues to tell me that He is about to instruct His angels to begin their final work—the plan that He and Jesus put together is about to be completed. The universe stands watching with attentive eyes and ears. Angels stand ready to move upon the earth to do God’s bidding. He tells me that I have been shown that Ezekiel 9 will be fulfilled soon. He tells me that He wants to show me something so His people will understand. He tells me that He will soon send His angels of mercy to lay many to rest, so they will not have to go through the events that are about to take place during a time such as has never been seen before. He tells me to watch.
My dream changes, and I am walking in a very busy area with many people. It is like an outdoor market area. People are moving around looking at what they need to get for supplies.
Suddenly, I see a man as if a young boy was placed in his arms. He immediately begins carrying the boy as if he was his father. I seem to think he is supposed to have him and call him his. It was as if the mother was no longer interested, and the young boy was simply passed on.
The man now goes to a vendor and selects a special pair of pants and a matching top for him to wear. I found it interesting that it was a very calming light blue color. Yet the top was more of a jacket with what looked like gold stripes or suspenders. Next he finds small boots to protect his feet.
Now the little boy says the word ‘hungry.’ The man asks, “Are you hungry?” And the little boy says “Yes.” He points to vendor food, but the man says he will get something else for him.
He carries the young boy to a restaurant and asks to be seated. Then he asks for a child’s booster seat. While sitting there, the man is looking over the menu when a woman walks up and asks what he is doing with the young boy. The man replies, “He is hungry and I’m getting him something to eat.” She asks if the boy is his son. The man looks over at the child and almost said no, then immediately said that he is his son and that the mother was busy, so it is a day for me and my son. She replies, “It looks more like a case of a young boy being taken.” The little boy instantly says, “Daddy, can we order food now? I’m hungry.” The woman turns and walks away. Then the waitress comes back to their table, and the now daddy says that he wants a selection of fresh fruit and a fresh juice for his son. But the young boy wanted cake or pie. The daddy says no and that he is going to eat fresh fruit and no fried food. The waitress now comments that he is a good daddy.
After they finished eating, they were walking together holding hands when the little boy asked if he could have a toy. The man picks up the little boy and whispers in his ear, asking if he has any toys back at home. The little boy says that he no longer has a home and no toys. The man is now understanding that this child was placed in his arms to care for, provide for, and teach him.
Perceivous now appears to the right, and speaking my heavenly name says: “This was a small story to illustrate how we are to be as the Father is. The Father always accepts us as we are, but so wants to spend time with each of His children. He wants to place the best garments on us. He wants to provide for each of us. And most importantly, He wants to claim without a doubt that He is ours. This is the love that we must obtain, and to accept Him and do as He instructs us, as He provides for us and cares for us.”
Perceivous then says, “As it is written in John 3:16:”
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I am thinking about those words that I have read and said so many times. For the first time, I ponder the one word “HIM.” I stop to think of this short verse, and how it simply highlights how God the Father has such a love for each of His children, and add to that the provision of His Son, Jesus Christ.
But to think of the word “HIM” as in “…believeth in Him…,” that word can apply to the Father and to Jesus. We must believe in Jesus but also believe in the Father. Each should accept Him as our Father and consider the closeness of the relationship that we can call Him “Daddy.”
