I sat under the apple tree with the Lord and he picked an apple from a branch offering it to me. I took a bite it was refreshing but had a sour aftertaste. The Lord told me we have all eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge through the actions of Adam and Eve. We then lay down and the fruit began rotting falling all over me especially my face, angry wasps stung me incessantly and I was in agony. The Lord told me the wasps would only stop stinging me if I allowed Him to wash me clean with living water. The embarrassment I felt was acute for I had to stand naked in front of the Lord for him to pour the water over me and rid me of the wasps. I had been stung many times and I was in pain. I resolved not to hide in shame but to be bold, stand up straight and allow myself to be washed by him- this was a very difficult thing to do and I had to fight against the desire to run away. Once Jesus had poured water all over me the wasps were gone. The Lord dressed me in a white robe of righteousness, placed a crown of thorns upon my head and a staff in my hand. He told me to go and spread the good news.
