Dream

"Then after I have poured out my rains again, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.  Your sons and daughters will prophesy.  Your old men will dream dreams.  Your young men will see visions.  In those days, I will pour out my Spirit even on servants, men and women alike.   I will cause wonders in the heavens and the earth- blood and fire and pillars of smoke.  The sun will be turned into darkness, the moon will turn blood-red before the great and terrible day of the LORD arrives.   And anyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.   There will be people on Mount Zion in Jerusalem who escape, just as the LORD has said.  These will be among the survivors whom the LORD has called."  Joel 2:28-32 and Acts 2:17-21

Dream.  6/30 We were on some road trip.   I seem to be the one driving.   We can see an expansive ocean ahead of us but the road we're are on doesn't head to the ocean but a dead end.   I was about to turn around when I noticed off to my left a chain link fence and beyond the chain link fence was a waterfall and river.  The waterfall's water came from the sea which filled the river.   The river was filled with dead leaves and wild cantaloupe.   The trees along this river were stripped of their bark and nothing grew on them.   They were naked and bare.   I got out of the car and looked at all the fruit floating in the river and thought, "What a waste of fruit."   I told one of the people in the car to come check out what I was seeing and she got out and took a picture with her camera.  I then woke up.

This is what I have been shown by the Spirit about this dream so far.

The sea in the dream represents the sea of humanity.

The sea water that was pouring onto the land is to show that man's desire to follow the humanity instead of God.

People and nations represent trees.   They also represent "Christians".

"But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants; day and night they think about his law.  They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season without fail.  Their leaves never wither and in all they do, they prosper."  Psalm 1:2-3

"But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.  They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.  Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by the long months of drought.  Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit." Jeremiah 17:7-8

The trees that were feeding off the waters of humanity were stripped of their bark and had no leaves.   They were naked and bare.

 We are living in age that mirrors the Laodicea church.

Jesus said to that church.  "I know all things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold.  I wish you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spit you out of my mouth!  You say, 'I am rich.  I have everything I want. I don't need a thing!' And you don't realize that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked."    

They may have everything in man's eye but in God's eye they are poor, naked and blind.   They have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living water. (Note: Jeremiah 17:13) All the things that the men of earth desire and think will save, encourage and give them hope will soon be gone.   These things are here today and gone tomorrow.  It is a constant chasing of the wind.   What will they have when they lose everything?  The ways of man have only weakened their faith.   What will happen to them when more difficult testings and trials come in the near future?  God wants us to become productive and useful in our knowledge of Jesus Christ.

"But those who fail to develop these virtues are blind or, at least, very shortsighted.   They have already forgotten that God has cleansed them from their old life of sin."  2 Peter 1:9

The hundreds and thousands of "wild" cantaloupe that are floating down the river, I believe represent God given gifts that are being wasted and missed used.   People's "motives" for using such God given gifts are all wrong.  They are only used for self not for God who gave them these gifts and abilities.  They use them to only serve themselves not God.

The dead end was to show us what is happening.  The chain- link fence was to keep us out and to show us what is happening.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest the water does not flow from the sea to the land but from the mountains through the land and into the sea.   God did not have this happen by accident.  He was drawing a picture for us in his creation.
 
God is our source.  He is a like a great mountain, who feeds the land and rivers below giving life.   Great and majestic is HE!

"The LORD will guide you continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy, too.   You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. "  Isaiah 58:11

"Through each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life." Psalm 42:8

Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, "If you believe in me, come and drink!  For the Scriptures declare that rivers of living water will flow out from within." Note John 7:37

Dream September 27, 2012

 A Mother and Daughter.
I remember the dream starting with being seated in a comfortable humble home with a beautiful older woman who feeds us a delicious meal.   She has a beautiful daughter who seems coy and offish. She has to be encouraged to come down from her pedestal to be comforted.  They are not Americans. They both have dark brown hair and tan skin like I imagine Esther in the bible to be.  (Israel and Judah perhaps.)

House and Staircase.
I go into a house. It is in dismal repair.  Everything that was once updated has been reverted to pass ways of thinking and doing.   People covet others riches.   I saw no value in their coveted silver and gold that decorated their neighbor’s fixtures. It was junk in my eyes. (What the world sees as valuable is not valuable to me)

Later I am on a staircase and I proceed down the staircase to see that it has been cut off from its base.  One would have to jump downward a long ways to reach the bottom.  The only way to proceed is upward.  (Only way to go is God’s way.)

Red Horse.
Someone has a red horse.  It is here for a little while.  I loose track of it attending to some outside chores with my hands (I think it’s a yard or garden I am working in).  We go to look for red horse but it is nowhere to be found.  When we ask about the red horse we only receive rumors of where it went and people who don’t know what we are talking about and even joke about the red horse reducing it to a bicycle pedaled by man.  (Perhaps the red horse in Zechariah 1)

Beastly Men Dream

I had a strange dream of two beastly men.  They were enemies and constantly after one another until they find out they are brothers.  The older beastly brother is very controlling and is always wants to know where is younger brother is at.   People try to kill the older beastly brother but he doesn’t die.  His head continually grows back and the heads that are cut off have all turned to stone or marble.  There are so many heads of this brother that they are stored in every place imaginable in this mansion where the two beastly brothers live, I found this out while trying to hide from the beast.  The youngest brother can change his appearance and likes to be in the world unhidden.   They are protected by men in suits who stand far from them as if they afraid of them.   These brothers have something to do with the cities of this world that are literally crumbling into pieces.  It’s like someone had started construction but never finished the work.   It’s like the money for the projects either stopped, disappeared or the contractors took the money and disappeared.  Buses some automated and some not carry people.  The inner city roads that the buses travel are literally failing.  I find myself on a bus and I have to shout to the people to hang on because they are so involved in themselves they are completely unaware of the present danger.  The road is collapsing right under the bus.  The people quickly take hold of whatever they can as the back of the bus sinks and lands onto a roadway below it.  My wife and I helped people out of the bus.  Their homes too far away and nowhere else to go, these people crash in a stranger’s house as if it is a normal occurrence.  Men sleep in one room and women in another room.  I ask the woman of the house if there is a place for me to stay.   I could see she was visibly overwhelmed to come home to find total strangers lodging in her home.  Bewildered but kindly she tells me there is no room for her children, herself or me.   I then wake up.

I could not help but think of book Revelation.
