I went to the garden early today. In spite of the heat we are experiencing right now, the garden was a haven of peace and comfort. As I walked, prayed, watered, and took lots of pictures, I was joined by an abundance of wildlife–not to mention the tangible presence of Jehovah. Come along on a walk with me!
Praying for rain in Texas,
Pam

Beautiful! Amazing how the garden flourishes in the midst of a drought! It’s a picture of all of us in this new season. The world is in recession, famine,and drought; but God’s people will flourish like this garden. Quick question: have the Indigenous people from that area visited and prayed for rain in the garden? I believe that their love for and connection to the Earth give them a unique sound (and dance) to call forth the elements:)

Truly a work of Art- so anointed that the Presence of the Lord is visible right through the images! The Intercessors across the nation and the world that are participating since early this morning in the Solemn Assembly that was called by Texas Gov. Rick Perry at the Reliant Stadium (www.theresponseusa.com), are likewise praying for rain for Texas and all of the Midwest that is experiencing drought for such a long time.
May the Lord’s Grace and Abundant Blessings continue for all of us, in this appointed time of the Open Door. The Heaven of heavens is opening for the children of the Kingdom, because the time is so critical. See my blog at (zionsgate.wordpress.com), especially the post from 7/4/07 ‘Praying for the Healing of America’. Four years later it is even more seriously critical.

Mere words cannot convey the beauty of His Garden. You can feel the peace in the pictures.
Praying for our nation and for rain to fall in Texas and all of the drought strictened states.

Yes I too am praying for rain for Texas. I must say we have had an abundance of rain
here in
Colorado Springs.This was my first attempt at gardening and it has gone quite well.
I continue to pray with all of you for rain there in Texas. Things look lovely even though you have need for rain.

I come to the garden at night, when the dew is on the roses! And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and tells me I am His own. Thoroughly enjoyed the walk Pam.

Even though I have only been in the garden several times in May and early June, I love it! Just before I came back to Mongolia in June I took my Son Tad, Jacob my 14-year-old grandson, and Emma, my 8-year-old granddaughter to visit the garden. They all loved it, but Emma, who is quite verbose and prophetic, was so excited about it! You could tell she felt the presence of God. At the threshing floor, she looked at the stained glass picture and said, “I’ve had a vision of this, it is beautiful!” As we walked through each tribe, she would ask, “Grandma, what does this mean?” And as Jacob would start the Bible story, she would finish it! It was such a blessed time!

Thanks for the virtual tour. God love you all for braving the heat. I love the little critters and the blooms. I enjoyed going thru the Gentile Gate @ the Open Doors conf. and walking the “plumline” to the cross. The Spirit instructed me to go back thru the garden a different way then the way I came because things had changed. Thank you sooo much Pam and all who have helped for keeping up this beautiful haven of His Presence!

Beautiful! It is a reminder that God is our Oasis in the midst of a hot and dry season
.We will rejoice and appreciate the former and latter rains as they begin to fall. I hear the sound of abundance of rain.

Pam, walking with you in the garden is such a joy. Thank you for taking all of us along. It is so goood to see the critters that join you and are becoming famous with your pictures. The fruit, the flowers, even in severe drought, are so beautiful. I can’t wait to see and walk in the garden again at Feast of TAbernacles.
You steward God’s garden so beautifully. Thank you.

Thanks for the update, Pam….You are a blessing and certainly the number one intercessor and encourager for Chuck!
May the Lord’s mercy pour out rain from the prayer garden and reign over Texas…

Pam,
Thank you so much for your blog. I am unable to be out in the heat at all, so even though I’ve been at conferences I had not seen the gardens. As I walked through this blog I felt Holy Spirit and such Peace, it is amazing. I was grieved I couldn’t see the gardens but now I have !!!!!!!!
Thank You and Be Blessed,
Judy Cooper

I, too, felt the Shabbat peace prevailing through your pictures. I can only agree with all the comments -The Lord has created a marvelous place by grace through His vision and your willingness to accept the challenge!
Can’t help but think of the abundance of His original Garden when I see this lovely, inspired respite both in person or through your pictures. What a blessing for all who will come!
May He continue to bless you with abundance in everything!
