The Vision of Lincoln Logs by Teri Johnson
Years ago, I was sitting @ Renaissance Church in Bakersfield in "The School of The Reformers" The entire class was receiving healing & deliverance.
This 6-week-segment's teacher; Mike Evans of Wholeness Ministries was leading us on a healing journey & down a road called "More Freedom."
So, I was relaxed & just sitting there, "minding my own business "& then suddenly; "Swoosh!"
I was taken back in time when as a little girl (around 7 or 8 years old)
I was building with my Lincoln Logs.
I was resting on my tummy & peering into some of the structures that I had built.
And from that point of view the Lincoln Log Cabins & Lodges looked very real & life like.
I could feel the notch's in the logs & the rough surface of the green roof panels as I held the different parts with my left hand & ran my right hand over them.
I could smell the aroma of cedar, and even smell the green paint on the roof panels.
I loved playing & building with Lincoln Logs & my imagination would take me places as I did.
I was there!
So, I wondered:
1. Why did I see that particular vision?
2. Why did I see it during Tony Kim's School of The Reformers as Mike Evans was releasing healing?
God has had me on a "easter-egg-hunt" to find the treasure He has hidden for me in this.
For the past few days to discover what He is telling me through this vision within the memory of my soul.
I have been asking Holy Spirit questions.
On this evening of July 4th 2013, as Americans celebrate our Freedom;
Holy Spirit is giving me some revelation on why I had this vision & 5 things to share it with you.
1. The logs fit together perfectly & how wonderful they felt in my hands when they
fit together making a "Ka-chunk" sound.
2. There were endless possibilities & varieties of the different structures that I would imagine.
3. The great feeling of satisfaction I would have by admiring the beauty of the finished building.
4. As we walk through the Door of Christ, there are aways more doors to pass through,
and doors within the doors within the doors…..
And another memory door was opened of using saltine pretzels as logs to build with.
And past that door was another door that opened & I saw President Lincoln & the Copper Penny.
but alas! I was told to break them apart, knock them down & put them back in the box & in the closet where they belonged.
5.If it had been up to me I would have left them up ( & they might still be up today! LOL)
That was sad to me to tear apart what I has so heartfuly built however: JOY! strongly flooded right back over me the next time I emptied them out on the floor with great anticipation of something new to build.
I was reminded of an ongoing vision that one of my friends is seeing for me of a few bricks in front of me & I'm building something with the white mortar of Holy Spirit.
Research on Lincoln Logs
Wikipedia:
Lincoln Logs is the name of a children's toy consisting of notched miniature logs, used to build miniature forts and buildings. They were invented by John Lloyd Wright, son of the architect Frank Lloyd Wright.[1] Lincoln Logs were inducted into the U.S. National Toy Hall of Fame in 1999.
The mold for the toy was based on the architecture of the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, designed by the inventor's father. The foundation of the hotel was designed with interling beams, which made the structure "earthquake proof". This feature assisted in the design of the toy logs, ensuring stability of the miniature buildings created with the toy set.[3]
K'nex, the toy's current distributor, states the product was named after Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States. Lincoln Logs originally came with instructions on how to build Uncle Tom's Cabin as well as Lincoln's cabin.[4]
John was issued U.S. patent 1,351,086[5] on August 31, 1920, for a "Toy-Cabin Construction
