On a not so spectacular day in July, I was in prayer. At that point I had begun to hear God answer my prayers, in words. While I sat in silent listening awareness, I received a command.
“Eat only fruit for three days.”
After my experience with receiving Jesus into my heart and having dreams that were coming true, in my waking life, I decided pretty quickly that I would heed the instruction even though I was not given the reason why I should undertake such an action.
I also received a vision. I saw myself, I was like a cartoon character that you could see through. I was eating a watermelon and I swallowed a seed. It went into my stomach and an alarm bell went off complete with flashing red lights. I knew in that moment that seeds were to be saved and planted so that more fruit could grow. Seeds should not be consumed. I went to the store and bought fruit and only fruit. And I ate, for three days.
On the second day I was scrolling through Facebook. And on my news feed, popped up: Essene Fruitarianism – The Jesus Diet. Let’s talk for a moment, about synchronicity. I don’t believe in coincidences…anymore. Everything happens for a reason. Signs of divine guidance are all around you if you would only pay attention you would see them, clear as day. So, I clicked on the link and read about how in the Essene New Testament, it is stated that anytime you kill something and eat it, an animal or a carrot, you are eating death. But if you eat a fruit produced by a plant and not the plant, then you keep the plant alive, and ingest life giving food instead. Thereby giving life to the body. If you want to read the page I read that day, here is the link.
After I read the page I did some more research and thought about what I had learned. I had been a vegetarian, and sometimes vegan, for 10 years at that point, so on some level I understood the ethical implications of this idea. And I agreed with it too. Yes, that means I don’t eat potatoes, garlic, onions … but I can have squash! So it’s not all bad. Because I have kept up the diet, it has been a year and a half.
What happened on the eve on the third day was rather astounding. I honestly think that changing my diet was key to what happened to me. When you work with Spirit I have found that it is good to do what you have been guided to do, even if it doesn’t make sense to you in the moment. I had no idea why I was told not to eat fruit, but because I followed that guidance I was granted a life altering experience. And that experience is the reason why I am typing out these words to you today.
Would you like to hear about it?
