Dream 691 – The Pouring out of the Grain Harvest
Received on Sunday, April 16, 2023
Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day! Thank You for Your love. Thank You for all we have. You are wonderful in all of Your works. I was reminded today of the very first Word You gave me. It was in the Boise State University Library in the Fall of 1983. It was in either September or October. You told me, ‘Be still and know that I am God’. I would later find out that this was from Psalm 46:10.
This morning, I pulled out this exact Scripture card from a very old source. It was from Zondervan’s Daily Manna Promise Box. While it was supposed to contain 176 promises from God, mine contained only 104 promises. While one could say this is a sign that we are missing some of God’s promises, we would then assure them that we have way more than 176 promises contained in these dreams. I am very thankful for this.
I had recently purchased this Promise Box from a thrift store. It is very old. I would like to think that, as this little box moved through the years, whoever had possession of it treasured certain promises from You, carrying them close daily. I am sure they did, but, for some reason, they eventually were unable to make it back to them whereas I was able to buy them. Psalm 46:10 on this Scripture card contained the following poem…
Poem: “Lord, I believe Thy Power I own, Thy Word I would obey. I wander comfortless and alone when from Thy Truth I stray.”
When I meditated on this Scripture and the poem, I was reminded of how I was back in 1983. I was consumed with an extreme anxiety affliction. My eating disorder and exercise extremes were truly difficult to believe. I was not yet aware that I had a heart arrythmia that could kill me. More importantly, I had a ‘heart condition’. I was not still. I did not know God even though He was calling me.
Back then, I was alone in my thoughts. I was comfortless. I soon started to know more fully that there was ‘a God’. Lord, You were right there. However, it was another ten years before I would stop running from You. I wished I had known back then what I know now. Father, You used an analogy with me this morning.
I was a dancer who stayed in shape by running. I ran from you and fast. Lord, I hid from You. I now run to You. I long for the day I can dance again as in my youth. I long for the day I can dance before You instead of mourning. You will then turn my mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11). Blessed are You, Father.
When I woke up this morning, I chased the memory of an epic dream. Father, You reminded me that You are the Creator of my dreams. You reminded me that there is no need for me to struggle to remember any of my dreams as You will remind me of the dream’s contents when needed. I had a dream yesterday…
Sub-Dream 1 “The Pole of a Rake strikes my right side” begins…
I was walking up some concrete stairs. I looked away from where I was walking for just a moment. During that moment, I accidentally stepped on a rake head. The pole then sprung up and hit me on the right side of my head. I was then taken immediately to my bedroom. I then heard a very loud knock on our bedroom door. I called out and no one answered. This finally woke me up from my dream.
Sub-Dream 1 over…
Wanting to investigate the knock, I got out of bed and went down the hallway to my daughter’s room. I was still half asleep. I knocked on her door. She was getting ready for an early shift.
Daughter: “Come in, mom.”
Me: “Are you okay? Did you just knock?”
Daughter “No, mom. It must have happened in your sleep. Go back to sleep, mom. All is fine.”
I could tell that she was amused with me as she had a big smile. While I know she wasn’t judging me for doing this, I still felt a little bit foolish. When I then went to splash some water on my face, I noticed that a blood vessel on my right eye had broken. I didn’t like the look of my eye as a result. I then had another dream…
Sub-Dream 2 “The Mixing of the Separate Grains” begins…
I was looking at a stone floor. Gathered in a circle were offerings of six different grains from six different crops. Each presenter came with a burlap sack with folded over edges that revealed the grain each presented…
- One had barley.
- Another wheat.
- Another millet.
- I was not sure of the other three.
In the middle of the circle of six grains was a large bowl. I heard the voice of an angel of the Lord speak to the harvesters…
Angel: “Each of you are to remove three portions (or scoops) and pour them into the center large bowl.”
Each harvester then did exactly as the angel instructed. When they were finished, the angel addressed them again.
Angel: “Now mix all six together thoroughly.”
Each harvester then took turns mixing the grains completely. The angel again addressed them once they were done mixing.
Angel: “Now that these have been mixed, pour them out onto the threshing floor. It is time!”
Sub-Dream 2 over…
While there was so much more to the dream, I do not remember it. I know very little about grains. I am spoiled because, when I purchase grains, they are already threshed, separated and ground into flour for baking. On the other hand, I personally know what it feels like to be ground up and pounded. I now know that this was necessary in order to be useful to You for Your purposes.
Father, we are facing some difficult decisions ahead. Some of this seems scary. Since we can do nothing on our own, we must then rely on You. Since Your Grace is sufficient, we surrender all things to You. You then nudged me to pull out a second Scripture Card…
Isaiah 59:19: “So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him.”
Poem: “Be thou near me, keep and cheer me, through life’s dark and stormy way. Turn my sadness into gladness, turn my darkness into day.”
In Scripture, this was about Israel’s separation from God. God’s favor had now departed. Everything looked very dark. Israel’s army was very weak. The enemy had already captured the northern tribes and were now eyeing Judah. They especially desired Jerusalem. This Scripture is incredible because it mentions ‘lifting up a standard’.
This speaks of a battle standard set high over both the army and the enemy. This represents a power much greater than the enemy had expected. This portion of Scripture sets the tone for God to turn and hear the cries of His people. He can then rescue and redeem them to display His Great Glory and Majesty over the Earth. Oh Father, You are so awesome! Please hurry!
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
He once again spoke to me while I sat in my devotional chair. His Voice was very clear.
Jesus: “Erin, I am here and I am with you. Thank You for spending time with Me today when you were tempted to do something else (in this case, a traveling antique fare).”
Me: “Oh Lord, I am so sore today. I have been dizzy lately. My pain has come back. Please heal me. Please heal us. Please heal our home and our Nest. We are all tired. Quite simply, all of this waiting is exhausting. Please show us what to do next.”
Jesus: “I am with you. If I say nothing, it is a ‘no’… for now. However, it is also because I have something greater for you that is in progress. Though at times you feel forsaken, I am here. My Voice is in you. My favor is with you. I have not brought you into destruction. Remember that I know the plans I have for you.”
Me: “Lord, what was that dream of the grains about?”
Jesus: “Judgment. As the enemy has sought to divide, conquer and destroy the people, I am a Standard above his army. My harvesters will now gather 1/3rd of the grains from their fields and offer these into the center bowl for mixing. There will then be a separating. Only that which is good will then remain.”
Me: “Lord, this seems like such a small number.”
Jesus: “This is very good. This will make a wonderful offering. This will now be the best flour after it is ground. It will be a bread unlike any other.”
Me: “What is to happen to the other 2/3rd of the harvest?”
Jesus: “It too shall be threshed. A great wind will then come and lift away the chaff. This is so only the good then remains. This is the grain harvest. However, there is also the grape harvest and the olive harvest. Right now, you do not understand much of this. This means you must trust Me. This harvest is unlike anything the world has ever seen. It is a Standard of God above the wicked in which evil can do nothing to prevail against it. Then comes a Great Day. This is the day I come to gather the harvest.”
Me: “Is this ‘The Day of the Lord’?”
Jesus: “Yes. Now, as you Count the Omer, read for yourself the blessing and I will help you to receive it. While you tend to skip over all of this, change your thought process and count it as good.”
Me: “I am sorry, Lord, but I need to take this more seriously. I will receive the blessing.”
Jesus: “Remember that the size of a mustard seed is much smaller than a millet seed, yet just a fraction of faith of the mustard can move a mountain.”
Me: “Oh Lord, I still do not understand what You mean.”
Jesus: “I require very little of you because it is I who will increase your Faith through Me in you. With Me in you… and when it is time… there will be nothing you cannot do. Now rejoice, Erin, as you have spent time with Me in greater measure today. Rejoice then as I will rise up in greater measure through you. You are loved.”
As I went to place the Scripture Cards back in the Promise Box, two new cards fell out. I decided to write down both of them.
Genesis 28:15: “And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.”
Poem: “Yesterday He helped me, today I will praise His Name, because I know tomorrow He’ll help me just the same.”
Romans 8:31: “What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?”
Poem: “When we in darkness walk, nor feel the heavenly flame, then is the time to trust our God and rest upon His Name.”
Me: “Oh Lord, I praise You for this wisdom. I praise You for You have done great things! Thank You, Jesus, for being our Best Friend at all times.”
Jesus: “You are welcome. I am here with you!”
