The Land of Gile: A Dream, Two Messages and an Answer to Prayer

Article Summary

This personal testimony connects my twin Jane's dream record dated 20/07, My Sunray's planned visit to Australia, a prayer for direction, three boxes, and two communications from different parts of the world that I received as confirmation from God.

On Sunday, 9 August 2026, My Sunray—the love of my life—and I made a difficult decision. At about 10 a.m., we agreed to move to a place I will call the Land of Gile. This is a discreet name; I am intentionally keeping the real location private for now.

We also decided to surrender possessions we treasure, including many of our books. As I considered what I could take, I chose to limit myself to only three boxes. That number became part of the meaning of the morning.

“In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

— Proverbs 3:6 (NKJV)

A Prayer for Direction

The night before, I prayed and asked God for confirmation. I wanted to know whether what I had been studying was within His plan and whether I was travelling in the right direction.

I did not know that the following morning would bring together an old dream record, a meaningful date, a blessing from across the world, and our decision to release what we treasure.

Jane's Dream and the Date 20/07

My identical twin, Jane, says that she recorded this dream sometime between 2011 and 2013. Her original handwritten notes are titled The Land of Gile and carry the date 20/07. No year is written beside that date, so the 2011–2013 range remains approximate.

Jane now understands the dream as having a connection to My Sunray and me. Her notes do not name either of us, so I present that identification as Jane's later understanding and my personal interpretation of what unfolded.

Words Preserved in Jane's Notes

“The younger lady suffered from a frustration that was so deep. To rid herself of that frustration, she had to bring the man of her dreams into the Land of Gile to have a holy communion with each other… They reached the Land of Gile, and their communion was made… She was blessed.”

Read the full transcription of Jane's dream notes

The Land of Gile — 20/07

A place of nothingness, a place that co-exists with time or between time (the present and the past)—the in-between.

A story of the two keepers of Gile: an older man full of wisdom and a younger woman with a learned spirit.

They were mistaken for a witch and a wizard, but truly they were not.

Only a few—the rare few—had the gift and privilege of being given the chance to get to this land. The air seemed like water, yet dry and breathable; there was a sense of peace and satisfaction. Two red lions, male and female, remained in mid-air, very happy. Things that lived there seemed happy.

The younger lady suffered from a frustration that was so deep. To rid herself of that frustration, she had to bring the man of her dreams into the Land of Gile to have a holy communion with each other. She had to mention Gile three to seven times.

They reached the Land of Gile, and their communion was made.

The older man knew what she was going through, so he gave her advice.

She followed it. He was pleased.

She was blessed.

Why 20 July Stood Out to Me

The date in Jane's old record became especially striking because 20 July 2026 was the date My Sunray had been planning to visit me here in Australia. The dream note did not identify 2026; this was a later correspondence that became meaningful to me when the date reappeared in our own story.

That is what made the moment feel fantastical: something written many years earlier carried the same day and month as a date connected with the person I love.

Three Boxes: Peace and Faith

Choosing only three boxes meant releasing books and other possessions I treasure. I did not choose three merely as a practical limit. I connected the number with two biblical sequences that were already speaking to my heart.

In Galatians 5:22–23, peace is the third quality named in the fruit of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace.” In 1 Corinthians 12:8–9, faith is the third gift named in that particular sequence, after the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge.

For me, the three boxes came to represent peace and faith: peace about what we were releasing, and faith for the path ahead.

Two Communications from Different Parts of the World

Not long after our decision that Sunday morning, Jane contacted me from New Zealand with the dream record. Around the same period, a screenshot containing a blessing from My Sunray's friend in Rhode Island came to my attention. His friend had written:

“So many blessings are being stored up for you and Anna.”

— A message from My Sunray's friend in Rhode Island

The blessing itself appears under Thursday, 6 August in the conversation screenshot. What struck me on Sunday was that these words were brought before me at about 11:10 a.m., near the same time that Jane's old dream record arrived from New Zealand and shortly after our decision about the Land of Gile.

The blessing from Rhode Island that came to my attention near the time Jane sent her Land of Gile dream record from New Zealand.

A Personal Note About 3, 6 and 9

As I looked again at the screenshot beside today's date—Sunday, 9 August 2026—I noticed how the numbers 3, 6 and 9 seemed to be present in the timing. The blessing is marked Thursday, 6 August at 6:03 p.m. The number 6 therefore appears in both the date and the hour, while 3 appears in the minutes. Today's date brings the 9 into this collection of dates and times, and the year 2026 ends in another 6.

For me, this became another personal detail worth recording. I am not presenting the pattern as a doctrine, a mathematical proof or a rule for discerning God's will. It is simply an observation that caught my attention because 3, 6 and 9 have appeared repeatedly in my wider studies. Within this testimony, their presence added another quiet layer to the timing I was already receiving prayerfully.

How I Received the Confirmation

These two people were in different parts of the world and were not coordinating with one another. Jane was in New Zealand, and My Sunray's friend was in Rhode Island. Yet their words converged in my morning soon after I had prayed for direction and soon after My Sunray and I had made a costly decision together.

I do not offer this as a formula suggesting that every repeated date or unexpected message is a divine instruction. I share it as a personal testimony. For me, the prayer came first; then came a decision involving surrender, peace and faith; and then came two unplanned communications that aligned with what had already been placed before us.

I received their convergence as an answer from God: an encouragement that I was not wandering alone and that the path I had been studying deserved to be approached with prayer, discernment, peace and faith.

✨ Deep Treasure

Confirmation did not arrive by removing every sacrifice. It arrived as we became willing to release what we treasured. Three boxes became a sign of peace and faith, while words from New Zealand and Rhode Island met us near the beginning of a new path.

A Note About Privacy

“My Sunray” and “the Land of Gile” are discreet names used in this testimony. I am intentionally protecting personal identities and the real location while sharing the spiritual meaning of what occurred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Land of Gile?

In this post, the Land of Gile is a discreet name connected with Jane's old dream record. It is not the public name of our destination, which I am keeping private.

Why did I choose three boxes?

I connected three with peace, the third quality named in Galatians 5:22, and faith, the third gift named in the sequence in 1 Corinthians 12:8–9. The boxes therefore represented peace in surrender and faith for what lies ahead.

When did the date 20/7 become important?

20/7 is 20th July, the same time My Sunray was planning to fly to me here in Australia, and the same day and month my twin recorded that dream, my Sunray eventually arrived on the 27/07/26.

How important is the significance of the date 20/7 without the year?

Very important to me. The day and month—20/7 is 20th July, I suspect the Holy Spirit informing me as 'timeless', so that the absence of the year proves to me personally his hidden message to me that he foresaw and knew I'd come to him to seek clarification in prayer and therefore, prepared the way in advance so that Jesus and the Father in heaven can be glorified.

Am I claiming that every coincidence is a message from God?

First of all, I don't believe in coincidences. And No. This is a personal testimony about a convergence I received prayerfully. The post distinguishes the written record, the later date connection and my spiritual interpretation of the events.

Topics Covered: the Land of Gile, My Sunray, answer to prayer, dreams and visions, Christian testimony, 20 July, the fruit of the Spirit, spiritual gifts, peace, faith, 3, 6 and 9, symbolic numbers, surrender and discernment.

🎵 Believe Receive and Achieve (BRA) in the I AM bro

Article Summary

Believe, Receive and Achieve in the I AM is a Christian song written by Anna Towan. It uses the humorous acronym B.R.A. to point readers toward the breastplate of righteousness and the whole armour of God described in Ephesians 6.

Spiritual warfare is not presented in Scripture as something believers should approach unprepared. Paul tells Christians to be strong in the Lord, stand firm and put on the whole armour of God.

The song Believe, Receive and Achieve in the I AM, Bro turns this serious biblical message into a memorable and humorous expression: adjust your B.R.A.

In the song, B.R.A. means Believe, Receive and Achieve. The word bra also points symbolically toward the breastplate of righteousness, which protects the chest in Paul’s description of spiritual armour.

Key Scripture

“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness.”

— Ephesians 6:14 (NKJV)

Biblical foundation:

Ephesians 6:10–18 and John 8:58

Standing firm in faith while wearing the armour of God

🎵 Believe, Receive and Achieve in the I AM, Bro

What Does B.R.A. Mean?

B.R.A. is an original three-part faith reminder used within Anna Towan’s song. It is not presented as a direct Bible quotation or a guaranteed formula for success.

B — Believe

Place faith in Jesus Christ, the Great I AM, and refuse to surrender to fear when spiritual pressure arises.

R — Receive

Receive God’s truth, strength and direction through faith instead of remaining spiritually cold or unprepared.

A — Achieve

Move forward courageously and obediently through faith, without making achievement an expression of pride or outward performance.

Believing in Jesus Christ, the Great I AM

The song’s expression “believe in the I AM” points toward Jesus Christ. In John 8:58, Jesus declares: “Before Abraham was, I AM.”

Within the song, believing in the I AM means standing in faith rather than shrinking back. Receiving refers to accepting God’s truth and spiritual strength, while achieving describes moving forward through faith rather than pride.

The Whole Armour of God in Ephesians 6

The song mentions several parts of the spiritual armour Paul describes in Ephesians 6:10–18. The complete passage gives believers a clear picture of spiritual readiness.

Belt of Truth Truth holds the believer steady against deception.

Breastplate of Righteousness The central source of the song’s humorous B.R.A. wordplay.

Gospel of Peace The believer’s feet are prepared with the message of peace.

Shield of Faith Faith protects against the fiery attacks of the wicked one.

Helmet of Salvation Salvation guards the believer’s mind and spiritual vision.

Sword of the Spirit Paul identifies the sword of the Spirit as the Word of God.

Prayer and Perseverance Paul completes the passage by calling believers to prayer, watchfulness and perseverance.

Why “Adjust Your Bra, Bro”?

The expression uses humour to make the breastplate of righteousness memorable. The spiritual armour is not restricted by gender: both women and men are called to put on the whole armour of God.

The word bro gives the line an informal rhythm, while bra directs attention back toward the protective breastplate. Beneath the humour is a serious warning not to enter spiritual conflict unprepared.

Women and Men Are One in Christ

The author’s note connects the song’s B.R.A. wordplay with the unity of believers. Galatians 3:26 says that believers are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 then says:

“There is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

The author uses the biblical language of God’s sons and Christ’s Bride to express shared spiritual belonging. These are biblical identity images applied across the community of believers, rather than restrictions based on whether someone is physically male or female.

The accompanying H-and-S wordplay—connecting he and she with the words Holy Spirit—is creative symbolism supplied by the author. It should be understood as artistic wordplay, not as a linguistic or biblical derivation of the English words.

Official Song Focus

Open the song’s central declaration

“This war ain’t for the weak—adjust your bra, bro.”

The song calls believers to refuse fear, put on spiritual armour and stand in the light. It moves through the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, gospel of peace, shield of faith and helmet of salvation.

Its final emphasis is that spiritual victory comes through faith in the Great I AM—not through pride, appearance or empty performance.

✨ Deep Treasure

A familiar everyday word becomes a reminder of spiritual protection. B.R.A. points toward both Believe, Receive and Achieve and the breastplate of righteousness.

The humour makes the message memorable, but the underlying instruction remains serious: do not approach spiritual conflict bare or unprepared. Put on the whole armour of God and stand.

A Question for Reflection

Which part of the armour of God do you most need to remember today: truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, God’s Word or persevering prayer?

Frequently Asked Questions

What does B.R.A. stand for in the song?

B.R.A. stands for Believe, Receive and Achieve. It is Anna Towan’s original faith-based mnemonic.

Why does the song say “adjust your bra, bro”?

It is humorous wordplay pointing toward the breastplate of righteousness in Ephesians 6:14.

Does the armour of God apply to women and men?

Yes. Paul’s instruction to put on the whole armour of God is directed to believers generally, not limited to one gender.

Who is the I AM in the song?

The song identifies the I AM with Jesus Christ, drawing on His declaration in John 8:58.

Is Believe, Receive and Achieve a Bible quotation?

No. It is a creative acronym developed for the song. The supporting biblical themes come from Ephesians 6, faith in Christ and standing firm in the Lord.

Who wrote Believe, Receive and Achieve?

Anna Towan is identified as the lyricist, Positive Music as the contributing artist, and Messiah’s Matrix as the publishing YouTube channel.

Time-Travel Codes Unveil God's Isaiah 19 Judgement | Published on 21/9/23 4:55 PM QLD Time

Time Domains & The Hidden 60th Hour

A Project Clock Codes research archive exploring the Hidden 60th Hour, the I-Principle, Philip and Ashdod, biblical number observations, and time-domain maps.

“There are many other time domains than we have any idea.”

— Dr Chuck Missler

Hello, welcome to my blog. I would like to nudge you to this resource. Clicking here will remove the confusion you may experience should you continue reading. God is not a God of confusion, so this resource is key to understanding the contents within this blog.

Introduction

On September 17th, 2023, as I was teaching Isabella the words from Matthew 28 and praying, the Holy Spirit prompted me to resume work on the Time-Travel project. This project is a branch of Project Clock Codes.

As I was categorizing clock codes based on their respective principles, specifically the I-Principle, I stumbled upon the numerical Direct Lines (DLS) located on the North and South of any clock. Later, I also uncovered the M-codes, which can be found directly on the West and East of any clock.

I observed an intriguing pattern between the M-Codes, DLS, and I-Principle following the creation of the Key, which used symbols for identifying locations on a map. These codes exhibit similar timeframes and interchange their numerical values for the West and East.

After writing down the key, I searched for coordinates that matched all numbers falling under these principles. To my amazement, I was led to start at the Hidden 60th hour. This hour naturally starts with and ends with the 36th hour numbers, unveiling the hidden 60th hour.

Discovery One — The Hidden 60th Hour

The Hidden 60th Hour emerged while studying the relationship between the 36th hour numbers, coordinates, and clock-code structures.

Sphere 1 — Time/Clock Wheel with 36th hr numbers, unveiling the hidden 60th hr.

Figure 1 — I-Principle in Tabernacle Form with the 60hr; minutes are ghosted.

Core Formulas

The formula for the minutes was created and is identical to the formula for the hours. For accurate results, these must be used together.

The Hour
IP: CPL (xh) + CPR (xh) = HS

The Minute
IP: CPL (m) + CPR (m) = xm

These coordinates are recognized as degrees. Hours can be used interchangeably with degrees, while minutes and seconds remain the same.

Philip, Ashdod & Acts 8:39

After these discoveries, I was led to Philip being spirited by the Holy Spirit in Acts 8:39. After his moment with the Ethiopian treasurer, he was spirited to the city of Ashdod, its ancient name being Azotus.

I was intrigued that Philip is recognized as the sixth disciple of Jesus. His Greek name, Philippos, has nine letters. Nathanael’s name also has nine letters, and Jesus prophesied that Nathanael would witness angels ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.

These observations suggested to me that the numerical and time codes we observe in our world are interconnected with the Jesus Matrix, concealing angelic gates commonly referred to as Jacob’s Ladder.

3, 6 & 9 Observations

Based on previous research on Hebrew calendars, the numbers three, six, and nine are highly significant and closely related. On the cardinal compass points (NEWS), all numbers form sequences of three, six, and nine.

Spheres 2 & 3 — 12 hr and 24 hr with the I-Principle.

Spheres 3 & 4 — 24th hr and 36th hr with the I-Principle.

Missler’s Fifth Acrostic & the I AM Code

While studying Esther, Session 10 taught by Dr Chuck Missler, he revealed a fifth acrostic code where God’s “I AM” name is hidden in Esther 7:5. This reaffirmed the I-Principle discovered in the clock.

All CPLs and CPRs fall under Missler’s fifth acrostic “I AM” code.

For example, CPL (7) + CPR (5) = HS12. Another example is CPL 9 + CPR 3 = 12, which equals 3 when rounded. Three is the letter C in the English alphabet, which can be allocated to Christ.

Screenshot from Project Clock Codes video connected to the fifth acrostic observation.

Missler’s fifth acrostic code for “I AM” in Esther 7:5.

Flatline, Two-Line Pattern & Three Heavens

During data entry using the I-Principle, I noticed a pattern: with HS12 the 12th hour requires the 12th-hour numbers; with HS24, overlapping begins; with HS36, both CPL and CPR use the 24th-hour numbers; then with HS48, overlapping occurs again.

Flatline
[i]xh + [i]xh = xh

Two
[ip]xh + [n]xh = xh

Key: Flatline = [i] is identical hr. Two = [ip] is previous hr.

The flatline followed by the two-line pattern appears to produce a circular staircase to heaven. I observed three realms: one for humans, one merged and divided but unseen, and an upper realm. This discovery corresponds to the existence of three heavens integrated into the clock.

Figure 3 — Intentional shift with the pattern at 36th hr; image subject to change.

Heavenly Realms Video

I have added a video for easy reference that explores the heavenly realms and their dimensions. The intricacies of these realms and the laws that govern them are beyond my current understanding, but I trust the Holy Spirit will provide clarity in due time.

Update: 27/9/23 — After Yom Kippur

The “M” represents “Messiah” and when reversed is “W” for Wisdom, Word and Way. All Bible passages with Wisdom point to the Triune-God either in three rhythms: obvious, subtle or hidden.

Biblical Proof

• The Obvious: Proverbs 9 and John 14:6.
• The Subtle: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
• The Hidden: Daniel 2:35 and Isaiah 11:1-3.

Screenshot — YouTube video.

Time-Travel Map & Coordinate Forms

Figure 4 — Simplified Time-Travel Map for the 60th hr/time domain.

Figure 5 — Hours converted to coordinates/degrees form with body of water as borderlines.

Final Interpretation & Revelation 9:14

Further research led to the find of a prophecy of God punishing Egypt in Isaiah 19, along with coordinates connected to the River Euphrates, Ashdod, Israel and the 6th of October City in Egypt.

There are a lot of sixes. From satellite view, the 6th October City, Egypt appears to be a marching man, and its coordinates fall on CP6 on the 60th hr.

Map 1 — 6th of October City, Egypt, shaped as a marching man.

Revelation 9:14

“Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.”

According to Messiah’s Matrix Principle: Revelation has 10 letters; chapter 9 is a borderline/boundary number; verse 14 may be read as 5 or as 7 x 2 = 14. When grouped by addition: 10 + 9 + 5 = 24, and 2 + 4 = 6. Or, 10 + 9 + 14 = 33, and 3 + 3 = 6.

River Euphrates coordinates start with the number 33 as shown below.

Source: Geographic.Org

Conclusion

Missler’s quote about how there may be more time domains than we realize appears to be accurate. Following the lead of the Holy Spirit resulted in this marvellous find, and one detail that has not escaped me is the repetition of sixes.

Although shown in Figures 4 and 5, the 60th hr is rounded to 6. I am also baffled by the River Euphrates tucked within this discovered 60th hr, which reminds me of the last-days prophecy of the bound angels who are trapped there.

How to Receive From God: A Lesson From Luke 18

Article Summary

Luke 18:35–43 shows a blind man calling to Jesus for mercy, naming his need clearly, receiving his sight by faith and responding with worship. His story teaches us to approach Jesus honestly and persistently while trusting His wisdom rather than treating faith as a formula.

A Blind Man Who Knew What He Needed

Near Jericho, a blind man sat beside the road begging. When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he cried out for mercy. The people ahead of him tried to silence him, but he called out even more. Jesus stopped, commanded that the man be brought near and asked him a direct question.

41 saying, “What do you want Me to do for you?”

He said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”

42 Then Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has made you well.”

43 And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.

— Luke 18:41–43 (NKJV)

The man did not answer vaguely. He knew his need and spoke it plainly: “Lord, that I may receive my sight.” Jesus then used the same word in His reply: “Receive your sight.” What the man could not produce for himself, he received from Jesus.

Receiving Began Before the Miracle

The moment of healing is powerful, but the earlier verses reveal the posture that brought the man before Jesus.

1. He paid attention. Although he could not see the crowd, he heard it and asked what was happening.
2. He recognised his opportunity. When he learned that Jesus was passing by, he did not remain silent.
3. He asked for mercy. His cry was not a demand based on personal worthiness. It was an appeal to the compassion of Jesus.
4. He persisted through opposition. The crowd warned him to be quiet, but their disapproval did not become more important than reaching Jesus.
5. He came near when Jesus called. His persistence was followed by a willingness to approach and answer.
6. He named his need clearly. Jesus already knew that the man was blind, yet He invited him to express what he desired.
7. He trusted Jesus. His faith was not confidence in a technique. It was confidence in the Person standing before him.

Why Did Jesus Ask What He Wanted?

Jesus could see the man’s condition, but He still asked, “What do you want Me to do for you?” The question gave the man room to speak personally and specifically. He was not merely one more voice in a crowd; Jesus stopped and listened to him.

Prayer can carry the same honesty. God already knows our needs, yet He invites us to bring them before Him. Naming a need can uncover what we are truly seeking, move us from general distress toward a clear prayer and help us recognise God’s answer when it comes.

A question worth sitting with

If Jesus asked me today, “What do you want Me to do for you?” would I know how to answer honestly? Would I ask only for a changed circumstance, or also for the faith, wisdom and transformation needed within me?

Receiving Is Not the Same as Demanding

This passage teaches us to come to Jesus with faith, but it should not be turned into a formula claiming that every request will be granted immediately if a person believes hard enough. The blind man’s healing was an act of Christ’s mercy and authority, not a reward earned by perfect words.

Scripture encourages believers to ask, seek and knock, while also submitting their requests to God’s will. Sometimes God gives the requested deliverance. At other times He gives wisdom, endurance, peace, correction or grace to walk through what remains. Paul asked for his “thorn in the flesh” to depart, but the answer he received was the sustaining sufficiency of Christ’s grace in 2 Corinthians 12:7–10.

Therefore, a delayed or different answer should never be used to accuse a suffering person of having insufficient faith. We can ask boldly and expectantly while leaving the manner and timing of the answer in God’s hands.

Faith Has an Object

Jesus told the man, “Your faith has made you well.” The power did not come from faith as an independent force. The man’s faith reached toward Jesus—the Son of David whom he believed could show mercy and restore what was broken.

Biblical faith is more than positive thinking or repeating the word receive. It is trust in Jesus: His character, compassion, authority and wisdom. The man could not see Jesus with his natural eyes when he first cried out, yet he trusted who Jesus was before his sight changed.

✨ Deep Treasure

The blind man asked to receive sight, but the story does not end with what entered his eyes. After receiving, he followed Jesus and glorified God. The deepest evidence of receiving from God is not merely that our circumstances change; it is that the gift draws us closer to the Giver and causes praise to rise through our lives.

What Happened After He Received?

Luke records three immediate results. The man received his sight, followed Jesus and glorified God. Then the surrounding people also gave praise to God.

His blessing became a testimony. The answer was personal, but its effect spread beyond him. Receiving from God should produce gratitude rather than entitlement, discipleship rather than distance and praise that helps others recognise God’s goodness.

How to Approach Jesus

• Come to Jesus rather than placing confidence in a spiritual formula.
• Ask for mercy and speak your need honestly.
• Do not allow embarrassment or the crowd’s opinion to silence sincere prayer.
• Trust that Jesus hears, even before you can see an answer.
• Remain open to God’s wisdom, timing and form of response.
• When an answer comes, follow Jesus and give the glory to God.

Questions for Personal Reflection

• What need have I been afraid or unwilling to name before Jesus?
• Whose voice has been discouraging me from crying out to Him?
• Am I trusting Jesus Himself, or trying to trust a method for receiving?
• Can I remain faithful if God’s answer looks different from the one I imagined?
• How will I follow Jesus and glorify God after receiving an answer?

A Prayer to Receive With Faith

Prayer

Lord Jesus, have mercy on me. You already know what I need, but help me to speak honestly before You. Give me faith to trust Your character, persistence when other voices discourage me and humility to receive Your answer in the way You know is best. When You act, draw me closer to You and let my life give glory to God. Amen.
