Dream: Spared From Destruction
Last night I had a dream, and I believe I am to share it here with my readers.
Apparently I was away from home, I believe doing some work to advance the kingdom. I was staying with some people, in a cabin owned by some of them, on a mountain that was smaller, maybe 300 feet tall, more like one in a chain of rolling hills. The others, especially the owners, did not share my conviction for advancing the kingdom, but they liked me and let me stay there, sleeping on the floor. The cabin was like a modified garden shed, but pretty large, and finished off quite nicely. It was mostly a place to sleep, and there were places to sit as well, and possibly the smallest of kitchenettes. It has been my experience in spiritual dreams that things like a cabin are more representations, and their very size and shape can change in the dream. That may have happened in this case. I remember coming and going in the dream separate from the others, but I believe there were four other people there besides me. When I went to bed in the dream, I was sleeping on the floor and had a small suitcase near my sleeping bag. I remember thinking about the next day and what I would do, and looking out the side window near where I was sleeping to look across a highway at a community of expensive homes in a nice neighborhood. I was comfortable with the results of the work I was doing and with my situation, glad to have a place on the floor to sleep, even in this less luxurious nice little cabin.
The next hing I knew in the dream, I was awake and it was morning. Everything seemed normal. Somehow I was cleaned up and ready for the day. There was a young couple there, also ready for the day. As they headed for the front door, talking about what they would do, I looked out the window. It took a minute for the reality of what I was seeing to sink in. The community across the street was gone, and in a perfect line next to the highway there was a long rectangular crater that was blackened and smoldering, about 25 feet deep. It appeared like what would be left after a volcanic eruption. I shouted for the couple to wait, and ran the 15 feet to the back window, only to see the smoldering blackness and a much larger crater there that had ended at a lake. Then I was somehow able to view our situation from a distance. What was once more of a rolling hill had become a much narrower peak, with the top of the peak smaller than the base of the cabin! We were literally teetering atop a pointed 300 foot mound of dirt and rock.
In my conversation somehow I conveyed this to the young couple. We looked out the back door and could see that the blackened flow had somehow already solidified enough that a few adventurous tourist types, maybe eight people on all sides, were climbing this unusual remnant of what once was. The cabin would teeter a bit as we moved around. When I placed my foot on the ground just outside the front door, the dirt would easily crumble away. I thought we could move to the front door, step out with one foot all together and let the cabin fall off the back, then try to crumble away some dirt to lower ourselves a bit so that we could reach formations of rock that would allow us to climb down to the climbers on their way up. We did just that, and the cabin tumbled off the back side of the mountain, crashing to the gound below without hurting anyone. Eventually we met up with some of the climbers, and made it safely to the bottom. Either later that day or the next I went back for my suitcase, only to find that it likely had drifted out into the lake. It was shallow for quite a ways and I tried to get out into it to locate my suitcase. The water was dirty for a ways as well, from the blackened flow, so I returned to the shore empty handed. I then woke up.
As I sit here now thinking about this dream, I believe a part of the message is that there is a coming destruction to those that sit by in complacency and enjoy comforts of this life while not pursuing the truth of the kingdom. If someone, me in this story, is actively pursuing the advancing of the kingdom, they will be spared, as will those near them. But a house not built on the solid foundation of the Rock of the kingdom will not stand. Some go quickly, in an instant, and others when the kingdom preacher leaves.
Please understand that this is not meant to advance me as anything, other than the person receiving the dream. We are all called to have the kingdom of God in our hearts. We are all called to advance the kingdom here, in this earth. We are all called to build wisely. And we will all reap what we sow here. Our Father loves us and wants us all to survive and prosper, when we turn to Him as our source for everything. When God sets things right, it is a good thing, which is why He starts with the fellowship of believers.
1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your kingdom come here in the hearts of mankind. Let Your will be done here implicitly as it is in heaven. Send us Your overwhelming provision while it is called today. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts and memories of the wrongs done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You. If You wash our hearts and minds, then they shall be white as snow. Only You can deliver, YAH. We trust and believe in only You. Rise up, my King, and let the world see that You alone deliver Your people. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all that has been taken or held back in any way, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $424,523,962.53 that we might promote Your kingdom and care for the widows and orphans, and those in need. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). We ask all these things of You, Father, in Your name YAH. We ask all these things in the name YAH Yeshuah. Amen.
