Dream 324 – Jesus and Dusting Off Our Louisville Sluggers
Received on Monday, March 4, 2019
Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day. Thank You for the beautiful fresh snow. However, the joy of such snow is often not as appreciated when in a vehicle trying to navigate in these conditions. I am sad today. I wanted so much for a miracle during the night last night. However, once again, the night came and went and I am still in this condition.
That being said, I know it could be worse, so I am thankful for my ability to continue to function. However, Father, each day is more difficult and now I am truly scared. Sigh…I love You, Father. Have I not proven that I will not run? Have I not proven that I am here? I sometimes now feel as if I am always bargaining with You or trying to prove my case to You.
There are so many of us suffering, Father. So many of us have daily struggles of personal affliction, but also have children or grandchildren with special needs. I know You know this as You are never unaware. In my brokenness, pain and tears this morning, coming to You in the whole truth, I have to ask ‘When?’ When, Father? When! You gave me a dream last night…
Sub-dream 1 “Smashing Countless Rooms of Idols” description begins…
I was smashing idols, unclean statues. This was an easy task for me because they were visible idols of evil worship and dark arts. I then went to a room of things that were the tools of the enemy. I picked up a claw hook crowbar and destroyed them. However, I gave more thought to these as these were things from everyday life.
There were phones, Facebook and other social media, video games, bags of sugar and candy, magazines, caffeine and gluttony with foods. These were things that were time wasters or body destroyers. Then there were things that related to people’s obsession with how they looked. There were Botox, plastic surgery, diet pills, weightlifting and workout equipment. I hesitated using the crowbar on these items as I knew that some of these could also be used for good.
Attached to these rooms was a separate room filled with the consequences of the excesses of these rooms. I then saw shelves filled with the results of removing God and indulging in one’s self. I saw over-the-counter drugs in the last room, which then tied in to vast amounts of prescription drug abuse. I saw caffeine in the Red Bull drink mixed with alcohol leading to straight alcohol. I then saw the mixing of all of the above.
I then saw a shelf of mirrors in the last room. This room was used for exposing their bodies, which then led to porn abuse, both for young girls and boys and adult males and females. There was then a room for the results of being the loser of ‘self’. This was a room of despair. Thoughts of suicide ran rampant in there. In summary, each room meant something and each had varying degrees of subtlety, all to deceive…
- The first room was easy. These were the ‘easy to identify’ idols. They stood out.
- The second room was tougher. These were the everyday idols which distracted us from our Godly purpose.
- The third room, along with the related sub-rooms, were the toughest. This was the room for trading God for the world, the giving over of leading by God to being void of God and the fulfillment of self-indulgences.
This last room was particularly upsetting to me. As I took the crowbar to these things, I knew the roots. I am certain that most did not intend to self-destruct when they used these seemingly harmless things, things such as Facebook. It is easy to ignore that Facebook posts can lead to envy, coveting and jealousy. This could, in turn, affect your schoolmates or neighbors, whether they are Christian or not.
I thought about my children and their friends. I thought about ‘suicide challenges’ on YouTube. I thought about things that take away from our lives. As I destroyed these things, I found myself repenting from being distracted away from God by these things myself. I became angry that these things were in full use right now. As I smashed the last shelf of items, I heard laughter coming from another room. I peered in and the idols I had just smashed were being replaced back up on the shelves by demonic entities.
Me: “I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus!”
The entities backed away as I smashed a few of the new idols they had put back on the shelves. They continued to laugh at me though even as I raised my crowbar against them in a threatening manner.
Demon: “Ha, we have permission. You cannot remove all of these. You just can’t. We are too great in number and there are only a few of you.”
Me: “Why are you not listening to me? Are you not afraid of the Name of Jesus?”
Demon: “Yes, but we have His permission to do this here. Go to Him and ask Him yourself. Now do not speak of Him anymore!” They then began to mock me even more. “Ooooh, big scary sparrow with her big crowbar.”
They continued to laugh and mock me. Not expecting it, I used my crowbar like a Louisville Slugger and swung at one of the demons. It was a direct hit to his head. I hit his head so hard that it flew off of his body and hit the wall. His headless body then went over to his head and placed it back on his body. He purposely put his head on backwards as yet another mocking joke towards me.
I decided to leave the room as they were all starting to laugh at me even harder. As I looked around, I saw another room just like the second. I then saw another room just like the third. I heard the demons murmuring amongst themselves. My best comparison is that they sounded like a group of demonic laughing clowns.
Demons: Laughing. “Is she going to keep going? There is like a million more of these rooms. Oh dear, her arms are going to tire out. Hey, while she is wrapped up here, do you want to go see some of her friends on the Nest? I heard that one of them has some juicy secrets.” They continued to laugh and mock me.
I finally had enough and quickly turned and again rebuked them in the Name of Jesus. This time, I asked Him to silence their foul tongues. The demons were immediately silenced. When I looked at them, their mouths had been sealed shut. They did not seem to be that upset by this and continued to mock me with their eyes (for lack of a better description). I started to cry out to the Lord.
Me: “Lord, this will take an army! You need to send Your Army!”
Sub-dream 1 description over…
Oh Father, please forgive me. While I give You ‘my Temple’ at times, I too am guilty of being easily distracted by things that do not satisfy. These are time wasters and body pacifiers. Please remove these in my life so that all glory is for You, Father. Please do not allow those You have called to be sucked in by the enemy’s deceptions before You come for us. Please do not allow Your elect to be discouraged and fall away. Please, Father, call out to us, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Sub-dream 2 “Beautiful Flowers on My Night Stand” description begins…
I was carefully arranging some pre-cut spring flowers. I also had two types of branches. One had cherry blossoms on it and the other had almonds on it. I also had some beautiful lilies of the valley. I also had some purple flowers that looked like trumpets. I also had some Easter lilies. I arranged all of these in a beautiful yellow glass cameo vase that was etched with butterflies and birds of spring.
I filled the vase with water. I then placed each branch carefully inside this antique vase. The fragrance was amazing. It was odd because I arranged them in my bed where I sleep. I then set the beautiful arrangement on my night stand. As I laid in bed, I could see just how beautiful all these flowers were. I thanked God for them and I fell asleep.
Sub-dream 2 description over…
When, oh when, Lord? The world is becoming so much worse. This leader, our President of the USA, is even being blamed for causing the land to split. People have been ‘driven crazy’ because of him. There are lies being told that are not acceptable. It is as if the Gates of Hades were opened upon the land the moment this man was elected. You knew in advance that this would happen, Lord, yet You still sent him.
Well, I know that there is a reason for doing this. He is exposing the lies and deception of the left’s agenda. The land is in turmoil as a result. You have sent so many things against the land, including storms, earthquakes, floods, freezing temperatures, new weather phenomena, avalanches, dust storms and the list goes on and on. The people do not see that Your wrath has come upon the land.
Finally, and in just a few short years, the ‘cauldron of water’ has now come to a full boil. At our girls’ Christian school, Christians are now the minority! Children there are now being taught that it is okay to do what they want when they want. So many have been taught to hate Christians because Your Word does not support their sinful lifestyles. However, many of us still practice sinful things that are no different in Your eyes:
- How many of us are jealous, covet, envy or even curse their neighbors?
- How many of us are stingy or only show a generous spirit when people are watching?
- How many of us brag, boast or proclaim how great we are because God is performing miracles in our lives?
- How many of us gossip or feel higher than other members at church?
I sat in the pews when a beautiful young girl sang a song about her love for Jesus. I then overheard two skeptical ‘Christians’ say the following to each other:
Parishioner 1: “She sure sings a beautiful song about her love for Jesus. If only she knew that her dad was cheating on her mom.”
Parishioner 2: “Yes. How much would she love Jesus then?”
I heard this horrible utterance being spoken shortly after I had become a Christian. I was a new Christian and this literally made me feel ill. I later found out that the family struggled for many years after that while striving to stay together despite this adultery. They managed to stay together, but there were horrible consequences:
- The girl’s mother became very sick with cancer.
- The girl became a wild party goer at college.
Thankfully, the girl eventually came back to You, Father. However, I cannot help but believe that it was the curses sent over by these parishioners at that precious young child that somehow affected her unwittingly. The church is supposed to be a safe and supporting environment, not to be in the full operation of the negatives of the fruits of the spirit. This is a heart condition, but really more like heart disease.
That is because God had no room to work there. He has not been invited into the pews. This is now where satan is doing his best work. This is why churches are today closing down faster than malls. Father, without a miracle from You, without Your Army, so, so many will perish. It seems as if evil is now winning on all fronts.
As a mom of two special needs boys, church attendance was often cut short for me as I would see the numbers of my sons pop up on the screen. They were not like the other kids due to being on the Autism Spectrum. Sigh! This created a lack of activity in a normal sense for all of the parties involved. I have missed out on ‘normal’. However, I did find the Treasure that is Jesus in the midst of all of these troubles.
Father, the snow is heavy here today. A foot of snow has already fallen. It is the heavy and slippery kind of snow. Before the storm finally stops, we will easily have another six or so inches. It is quiet outside as a result. When the snow falls, it is very quiet.
My husband and I prayed for each other today. My husband even shed a tear. This is unusual as he is always so positive about what You are doing. However, today, the waiting finally got to him and he couldn’t contain himself. Thankfully, once he let it out, he was back to his usually positive self again. I believe that he needed to be honest in his frustration with God’s timing and he was.
Oh Lord, waiting is so hard. We fully realize now why You call ‘patience / waiting’ the hardest of all of the Fruits of the Spirit. When, Father, when will You heal us?
Jesus: “Erin, come up.”
I was at God’s door. I reached up and knocked three times. It was a loud hammering as I was using His massive lionhead doorknocker. I turned around and surveyed the beautiful scenery as I waited for someone to answer the door. God’s Valley was so beautiful. The trees were in bloom and the fragrances were incredible. There were animals and birds in pairs all over the place and they were chasing each other playfully.
This divine dance of spring is truly a mystery made by God. There is no fear here. All fear is gone. I heard music coming from inside His Home. I chuckled to myself and thought, ‘hmm, He is taking awhile to answer the door’. The water flowed next to me in beautiful channels of hammered gold.
This ‘mini-stream’ went from His Home to the beautiful pools below. This was unlike anything I had ever seen here on Earth. Only the King of kings could have such an extravagant setting. I turned back to the door and was now wondering if He had heard my knock. I decided to knock again just in case. However, just before I could reach up to knock again, the door opened. An angel of God was standing there to greet me.
Angel: “Come, Erin, the Lord is expecting you.”
I stepped into the beautiful large foyer. I looked up and there was the moving Creation painting outlining Genesis. As in the past, the painting was in motion and was telling the story of Creation. The stone columns were crowned with bronze pomegranates. I looked around and it took my breath away. Tears started to fall and I soon broke down.
I fell to my knees on His beautiful rug, a rug that had been handmade and custom fit for the Lord of lords. As I knelt there, I could hear the sound of approaching footsteps. I somehow knew it was Jesus. I looked up at Him. He seemed concerned for me so He met me by bending down to me. He dried my tears and hugged me.
Jesus: “Oh Erin, I am here. It is okay. I am here.”
He hugged me as I continued to cry…well, really, wailed. My cries could be heard throughout Jesus’ Home. The music stopped. The painting stopped moving. Everything completely stopped.
Me: “Lord, You are my Best Friend. God is my Father and Creator. Why do You delay in doing good, Lord? I am crying for help. Others have done the same. People are dying for lack of knowledge. Their children take their own lives. Living in these times is not an easy thing. Evil is winning against Your people, those You claim to love.
“You inviting me here to such a beautiful place is like dangling a carrot in front of a hungry horse. You told me to come boldly before You in truth. I do this now even though I fully know You could remove my breath from my lungs in a single motion, in a split second. Lord, Your people, those You have called, are at risk of being lost.
“Who can resist pacifying themselves when our wait for You goes by month-after-month and even year-after-year? While everything aside from You is not beneficial, what else are we to do? Endorphins from things we enjoy are only temporary pacifiers.
“Lord, I need Your joy instead. Only Your joy pumping through our veins can truly satisfy. Please, Lord. When will You heal us and call us for service? I fear that You will now be mad with me for all of my complaining.”
Jesus: “Erin, stand up and come with Me.” He helped me up. “You will now listen and I will answer. Erin, I love you unconditionally. I am not surprised by your reaction. You are disappointed that a date you thought to be good did not unfold as you had desired. I created you and I have been with you always. I am not immune to your cries. I am not unfeeling when you hurt. I take no pleasure in your discouragement. However, this I must now give you…not one has come into My House and wailed as loudly as you just did. Even the angels stopped their singing.”
Me: “Oh Lord, please forgive me. I am sorry if I have angered You.”
Jesus: “Do you think that I did not know that you would do this? Erin, I am always with you and I will never leave you.”
Me: “Yes, Lord, You are right there with me, but…” He knew what I was about to say.
Jesus: “Oh yes, I do understand. This is about Me being with you, but not removing your pain that you continue to endure. See, I understand this. God, My Father, was with Me during My persecution, yet He did not take My cup from Me. You do not understand this because I seem to drag this on. Erin, do you believe that I do not have any flaws?”
Me: “Yes, Lord. You do everything perfectly. My tantrum on the floor in Your House did not provoke You to change. I was pouting and hoping You would relent.”
I heard an uproar of good-natured laughter from the Lord and angels in attendance. It put a smile on my face and I was soon laughing with them.
Jesus: Smiling. “You delight Me, Erin. We will not soon forget this day. I even interrupted the moving picture of Genesis to hear the cries of My warrior bride, My little dove, My special sparrow. Now, look over here…”
The Lord brought my attention to a small inlaid stone of gold etched with today’s date and my initials. It read as follows: ‘One little sparrow moves the Heart of God!’ I cried.
Jesus: “You need to see what has been occurring since you were last here. Come…”
He brought me out to His Courtyard. There was a massive gazing pool next to God’s Clock and Calendar. There were angels all around us. Their organization reminded me of something like a ‘Security Detail’. There were four mighty angels overhead that were standing guard in all directions. This setting somehow seemed different than what I had seen during my previous visits here at His Courtyard.
Me: “Lord, why are all of these angels needed for security?”
Jesus: “Well, they are actually here for a meeting. Erin, we are in the middle of a conference of sorts.”
Me: I was now really embarrassed. “Oh Lord, did all of them hear my wailing?”
Jesus: “Hmm, interesting question.” He looked around with His palms opened. “Well, go ahead, did you all hear Erin’s cries in My House?” He was smiling and laughing.
All of the angels in unison: “Yes, Lord.” I was now very mad at myself.
Jesus: Laughing. “All is forgiven and now even forgotten.” I nodded my head sheepishly in agreement. “Erin, it is now only you who continues to resurrect this incident. Not one of them are surprised, especially in light of what they have all been experiencing by My assignments. You represent the sentiments of the multitudes right now. See, Erin, look…”
Just then, I saw the reflection of current events in the gazing pool in real time. I saw the Earth rotating as if it were a globe spinning on its axis. I was then shown so many things:
- The lining up of missiles aimed at various targets all over the world
- That the majority of these missiles were aimed at the USA, especially from China and Russia
- Assigned angels holding back the wicked plots of evil regimes
- Other evil regimes pointing a disproportionate number of missiles at Israel
- Activities taking place in India, Pakistan, Venezuela and other South American countries
- Major turf wars taking place in Northern Mexico
- Wars between Russia and some European countries over access to water rights
- Upheaval in Europe, including something like both buildings and leaders toppling
- Europe then looked similar to a giant broken up map
As for things that were shown to me specifically about the North American continent:
- A shakeup in Canada and changes coming
- The Red Bull once again running through the land
- The Red Bull then being surrounded by several entities, all with capes and spears setup to take down the Bull
- While none of the spears worked at first, one in particular hurt him
- Because of the actions of only a few, many lived in fear and kept silent
- While he then seemed down and finished, I saw angels sent to protect him
- The angels saved the Red Bull at the very last moment
- Then, and suddenly, the silent rose up with loud voices
- The others then ran away and were afraid
What I then saw that disturbed me the most was a web that surrounded the world. There was a massive war between the angels that had been cast out who were trying to get to the Earth and the angels appointed to keep them there until the 144,000 were marked by God. I saw small lights in various places. These lights were hidden, but really tucked away in plain sight. They were waiting on God.
Me: “Lord, do the 144,000 now know who they are?”
Jesus: “Yes. Each one now knows or suspects. There is a push by the enemy to locate them by various means. However, it does not matter what method they use, the enemy will not know as this is all hidden to him until the 144,000 are finally sealed.”
Me: “Are they only aware because You have been sending them signs?”
Jesus: “While some know, they remain quiet as they do not know their family’s origin. Some are not practicing church goers because I have purposely kept them apart. Others are church goers, but are at odds with the message that the church has for today. I have stirred hearts. Those who have not conformed to the ways of the world, but have remained in obedience to Me, will find Me.
“They will hear My Voice in the desert and will know that it is Me Who is calling them. I will say ‘this is the way, walk in it’ and they will. I have called out to them and instructed them while they sleep. Although the world does not look for them, they are already there. They have not defiled themselves with the ways of the world, but by a heart for Me. Now, if you look there…” He pointed.
I saw something like packages being sent out to draw people’s blood. They were collecting these samples in order to build a massive DNA database. While they made it seem like such collection was for our good, it definitely was not.
Jesus: “Make no mistake…this is a census sent out by the enemy. All it takes is only one sample from one family member to know the history of a family. However, they cannot get all of the information as I will not let them. Do not worry, Erin, as this plot will come to nothing. They will soon force this test upon all citizens in order to hunt down just a few. While searches on the web are also being documented, these too will come to nothing.”
Me: “From the perspective of the world, the sense of freedom we had when we were younger, the 1980s and the 1990s in particular, are long gone. There are predators everywhere and they can come at us right through technology.
Jesus: “Yes, Erin, there is an epic battle in the Heavenlies and the web is involved. It is the quickest form of entry by the enemy. Here, look…” He pointed.
I saw more angels of God than those from the enemy. It was very difficult to understand all that was happening.
Me: “Lord, this is difficult to understand.”
Jesus: “The enemy seeks access through any open door. They are being held off right now. What you are witnessing on Earth is an uptick in evil from evil that was already present. These are now ground troops without reinforcements or knowledge of what has happened with their ‘commander-in-evil’. The ground troops are holding the line by copying old patterns. As a result, they are constrained, not only by My rules for them, but by their own rules. Their main command center is momentarily out of service.”
He pointed to something else that I should look at. I could see His angels cutting down the lines of communication to keep the enemy confused.
Me: “This makes sense. Because satan is not omnipresent, he is not available for direct orders when his command center is down.”
Jesus: “Yes, but more importantly, these entities are bound to My parameters, My boundaries.”
Me: “Let’s see if I got this right. The enemy does not have permission to ‘cut loose’ as You continue to set out what he is limited to.”
Jesus: Smiling. “Exactly. However, because this is difficult conditions for them to operate in, rogue spirits have been sent out to search for information. It is similar to them wandering in a graveyard with nothing for them to inhabit. However, you are not to concern yourself with these things. Do not worry, Erin, as I have you.”
Me: “Thank You, Lord! However, You do not tarry. So then, when, Lord, when?”
Jesus: “Erin, as you can see, events are moving quickly. You are My servant and your household serves Me. Those who have been slain for My sake also cry out to Me with questions of ‘when?’ However, I tell you the truth, Erin…all has come into being just as it has been foretold by My prophets. My Word has taken shape in the physical. You are watching the scenes play out.
“Soon, very soon, all will know that it was Me Who sent out calamity upon the land in the hopes that people would turn and repent. However, just as you see one bombshell, another falls, then another and then another. Even though I call on My people to pray for discernment and turn to Me for wisdom, many now instead turn to a false narrative sent to manipulate those who want to believe a lie. For these, it is much easier to digest the food of this world. That is, until that food causes the poisonous sting of death.
“The stage is set, Erin. The quiet shall rise. They shall spread truth. They shall be unstoppable. For those who change before them, there shall be the promise of Heaven. For those who love the world more behind them, there shall be a barren wasteland of destruction. Where I send them, miracles, My miracles, will be visible. This is because their mantle is truth and their platform is the Kingdom of Heaven. They will be unlike anything the world has ever seen before or will ever see again.
“I do not remain silent. I do not remain idle while watching the spread of wickedness. They twist My Words. They change My doctrine and make My churches a place where sin is accepted and embraced. Anyone who stands up for My Words of Truth are now imprisoned, outcast, condemned or even killed. Well, the time of My silence has come to a close. Do not worry, Erin, in just a little while, while people consume their daily dose of lies, I will shake them. I will not stand for this.
“Now, I know you are ready. I know you want that ‘Louisville Slugger’. I know you are eager. I know you have been faithful. I know I have said you will ‘play this season’. Game-after-game, you sit on the bench and only have your dreams and My promises to keep you coming here to My ballfield day-after-day. Sometimes you just serve water to those who thirst, yet you remain faithful. Erin, I have prepared you for the upcoming ‘World Series’ your entire life. I will bring you up off of that bench.
“When I finally put you into My game on My team and I start you, there will be some angry players. They will be angry as you are no one to them and these players have already gotten rich by playing. However, others will be excited and will know you were Mine from the beginning. Some will be so furious, they will even quit and walk away. Others will just need to be benched for a few games until they finally say ‘sorry, Lord (Coach), please put me in!’, understand?
“See, Erin, I am not passing you up. If I put you out before the ‘World Series’ began, the enemy would see what I have planned and not as many would be on My team. This is about the losers, the forgotten ones, the ones I am calling to Me and the ones I want to give fresh water to. It is not only about you. This is because you have already given yourself fully to Me in service to be used for My purposes. While this is not meant just for your comfort, pleasure or stature, these will still come to you with all of this as well.
“You are also an example of My Bride. You come to Me because you love Me and you wait for Me. You do this because you know I love you and will come for you at the time appointed by My Father. You do not wait for Me because of what I do for you superficially or out of conditional love. You have not left your lamps low of oil.
“You have not become lazy. You instead wait for Me at all watches of the night, even the fourth watch, as you do not know when I will come. As for the game, the ‘World Series’, I am preparing you for this. However, for now, can you be content with observing and serving water while you wait for Me to call you up to play in the ‘Big Game’?”
Me: “Yes, Lord.” I was crying. I ran to Him and hugged Him tight. “I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love You because You are incredible. It is not because of what You can do for Me, it is because of what You have already done for me in spite of me. It is all so perfect. Yes, I will chase You! I will wait on You! I am sorry about being pouty at times. It is just that I am down there in the battle and so many things are coming against us.
“We are facing some major troubles and the pressure is adding to my illness. If You would consider fortifying our camp or moving us to a location where we can prosper while we wait, that would be helpful. We are now out of provisions and uncertain about our future.
”I am just asking, as one of Your ‘ground troops’, for You to set up an encampment so that we can either hold our positions or You move us. Either way, we cannot do this alone. We cannot do anything without You. Could You do this for us so that we can feel settled while we sit and wait for Your timing?”
Jesus: Smiling. “You make a very good case. Of course, Erin, I will send help. Do not worry. I have you. Hold on!”
Me: “Yes, Lord. I love You.”
Jesus: “I love you too. Oh yes, one other thing…when you see things being stirred up, search for the root cause. Ask yourself ‘who is stirring this up and from where?’ You will see the enemy staying hidden in the shadows. Then watch as the story, filled with lies, spreads across the land to those vulnerable to lies versus truth.
“Those spreading Good News will be those that I have sent. However, be cautious as fear fuels all kinds of evil. While those I have called will see past this, they must remain quiet and in prayer. It will become worse, so continue to pray. I can see that you are still a bit worried. Do not worry, Erin, as you will not be on the bench for much longer.”
Me: Laughing. “Good! My Louisville Slugger is getting dusty!”
Jesus: Laughing. “Hmm, are you not already using it against the enemy in your dreams?”
Me: “Well, yes, sort of, but it was actually a long crowbar. It was still fun though.”
Jesus: “Do not worry, Erin, as I will call you up soon and you will play. Now, this is enough for today. I love you!”
Me: “I love You, Lord!”
