Dream 287 – Jesus and a Grandfather’s Altar to the Lord

Communion

Dear Father,

I love You!  I cannot praise You enough for all that we have.  I am sorry that I sometimes become discouraged when the pain seems to take the place of joy.  It is just so difficult to have both together at the same time.  As for today, it seems as if You have granted me a temporary reprieve from the pain.  Thank You as this feels fantastic.

Earlier this morning, I sat on a small bench in our yard.  There was barely a sound.  I looked around me at all of the beautiful things in nature that You have created and I realized yet again that You are so beyond worldly description.

No earthly image of a god could create all that You have.  The angels cannot nor can any man.  However, You, Father, are God over all things and the Divine Creator of all that we see here and in Heaven.  There is no one like You.

I feel so small in the great scheme of all that You have done.  Even so, You have created me and You even call me friend.  How can this be?  How can I add to anything?  Even though I cannot, You somehow see something in me that delights You!

I must admit that, at times and with our children, I sometimes struggle to find qualities that make me truly joyful.  I am sorry to say this, but this sometimes holds true.  However, out of nowhere, these are the usual times when they then say something special or perform a chore without being asked.

When this happens, I then think, ‘Okay, my labor has not been in vain.’  However, what I still truly long for is healing for all of us.  I find myself waiting for a soon to come day, a day of mystery.  This will be a day like no other day.

This will be a day similar to the morning when Jesus’ tomb was empty and He appeared to those who thought He had been buried.  What shock and joy!  A day like no other day!  Victory over the grave!  Today we find ourselves waiting for a similar day.  We wait for a day when our mourning is turned into dancing.

The following is a case that I have made to God in His Courts and is partially based on Psalm 30.  This Scripture celebrates the rebuilding of the Temple of God.  In similar fashion, the Holy Spirit that dwells within us makes our bodies similar to a ‘Temple of the Lord’, a vessel to be used as a type of ‘Holy Sacrifice’.

Based on this, I pleaded for the Lord to fortify my walls.  I petitioned that the foundation of the Lord be built on His Word and on His ‘Solid Rock’.  I prayed and asked that no unholy thing enters my ‘temple’ or that no unholy thing comes out of it.

In other words, my desire is that the Lord makes my body into His ‘temple’ and a type of vessel to be used by Him.  I ask that He makes us new and that He creates a new spirit in us.  I ask that He makes all things new.

I pray that He soon makes us an ‘Army of God’.  Once He does, I pray that He equips us with the ability to scale a wall with ease and to walk through fire and not be burned.  By Your Words, Father, You speak of these miracles being manifested in us.  The Scripture outlines that we will perform mighty deeds in Your Name.

Since this has not happened yet at any time in history, I strongly believe that these promises in Scripture are for right now.  Well, why not?  While there have been ‘glimmers’ of these gifts displayed at times throughout history, I believe that You will soon do something in our days that we would not believe even if we were told.

Jesus:  “Erin, come up.”

I was sitting on a bench overlooking God’s Valley in Heaven.  It was so beautiful and had flowering vines and trees everywhere.  The grass looked so beautiful and velvety that I desired to lay down and take a nap.  I then went into the valley to do just that.

I found a spot next to a peaceful waterfall that flowed into the River of Life.  While I could also hear birds singing, their songs were actual songs of praise.  The fragrance surrounding me was amazing.  The best I can describe this as is it was like freshly mowed grass mixed with an array of scents from florals and spices.

I closed my eyes to take in all of the different fragrances.  Even though I had intended to close my eyes for just a few minutes, I must have soon drifted off.  I was now having a ‘dream within a dream’.

Sub-dream description begins…

I was walking with my children on a country road when we noticed a large storm coming in on us.  We looked around and decided to take shelter in an old abandoned farmhouse.  The house was quite large, so we decided to wait out the storm on the north end of the house.

After the storm had passed, I walked into the kitchen area.  To my surprise, there was a woman there dressed in business attire speaking on her cellphone.  I cleared my throat in order to alert her that I was there.  She looked at me and quickly ended her call.

Woman:  “What are you doing in my house?”

Me:  “We needed to take shelter from the storm that just came and we saw this house.  We thought it was abandoned and hoped that no one would mind.  We are sorry for startling you.”

Woman:  “Okay, no problem.  May I get you all something to eat or drink before you leave?”

Me:  “No.  Thank you for offering though.”

As we had already looked in the fridge and the pantry while we waited out the storm and had seen that the food was no longer fresh, a polite decline was in order.  The woman then left the room, but then soon called to me from a different room.

When I entered this room, I quickly noticed that she was sitting at a very high-end desk with a just as high-end rug under it.  As these two expensive items seemed somewhat out of place with the rest of the furnishings, this left me somewhat confused.

Just as she was about to speak to me, her phone rang.  After a brief conversation, she started to quickly pack her things up in order to rush out.

Woman:  “I have to run.  Please lock the place up before you leave.”

Me:  “While I would love to lock the place up when we leave, I do not know how we can as there is no locks on the doors.”

While I could tell by the change in expression on her face that she had heard me, she left the house without replying.  I called out to our children.

Me:  “Okay everyone, it is time to gather our things and leave.”

Just as we began to leave, several people, all in their 20s, started showing up at the house.  They seemed quite startled to see us in the house.  If their clothes were any indication, it seemed as if they were poor.  One of the young men addressed me.

Young man:  “What are you doing in our home?”

Me:  “I am so sorry for this.  We had thought the house to be abandoned and that we could take shelter from a storm that was coming in on us.  There was a woman here earlier today and we explained this to her as well.”

Young man:  “You should buy this house from us.  Our grandpa built the home and lived here.  When he died, he decided to leave it to us.  However, we do not want it.”

Me:  “I am confused.  How can you sell it?  The woman from earlier said that she owned the house.”

Young man:  “Oh, her.  She wants to steal the house from us.  She has already stolen the legal documents to the house.”

Me:  “Oh no, she is trying to swindle you.  Do not worry though as the original deed will show that your grandfather owns the house and gave it to you.  It will not be difficult to prove this to be true.”

Young man:  “You really need to see this home.  You will not even believe how amazing the living room is.  Come!”

When I entered the room, it was so amazing that it took my breath away.  There were two large trees coming from below the floor boards and reached all the way up to the ceiling.  The ceiling was made of glass and you could see millions and millions of stars up in the heavens.

I knew in my heart that such a sight would not even be possible on Earth unless God blessed it supernaturally.  The sky above the glass was supernaturally clear and dark in order to see the stars.  The trees were in perfect condition and the branches of each tree met each other to form a perfect archway.

Me:  “This is so beautiful.  What is this?”

Young man:  “My grandfather would meet with God here.”

Me:  “Why would you want to sell this to me?  Why do you not want to keep it?”

Young man:  “It’s simple.  God does not talk to us here.  He left this place when our grandfather died.”

I felt in my heart that God was not meeting with them because they were ‘partiers’.  I then guessed that they probably never tried to meet Him here.  I decided to keep this speculation to myself as I did not want to offend them.

Me:  “How much do you want for this property?”

Young man:  “Well, there are many acres and a small lake.  However, there is also rock outcroppings that make farming the land quite difficult.  How about all of it for $185,000?”

I did not know how to reply at first as I did not have that kind of money and I was still not sure about their rights to the land.  I was about to reply ‘no’ when I suddenly felt an overwhelming Holy Spirit prompting to agree to buy the property for $185,000.

I was then somehow supernaturally able to pay for it.  In no time, we were able to get the official deed to the entire estate transferred from them to me.  My children and I then decided to settle in when, just a few days later, the woman showed up at the house.

Woman:  “Who told you that you could install new locks on all of the doors?  What are you all still doing here?  This is my home and you have overstayed your welcome.  I want you all to leave immediately.”

Me:  “Hold on a second.  I have some paperwork to show you.”

I retrieved the paperwork and laid it out on the table.  I could see her grimace when she noticed that the county commissioner had sealed the bill of sale and that there was a deed from the courthouse.  She immediately became extremely outraged.

Woman:  “This was my deal.  I had this finalized.  You stole the sale from me.”

Me:  “No, I did not.  We were offered the property and I purchased it.”

Woman:  “How much?  How much did you pay for this?”

Me:  “$185,000.”

Woman:  “You stole this property.  This is robbery!  This property is worth $1,850,000.”

Me:  “Well, that is what the owners offered as the price and I agreed to it.”

Woman:  “I will pay you $1,400,000 for it.”

While I was quite tempted to take it, I felt the Holy Spirit tell me that I was not to take it.

Me:  “I am sorry, but this place is not for sale.”

Woman:  Screaming.  “This is not the last you have heard of me.”

She was absolutely furious.  As she left, she slammed the door.  I then walked to the window facing towards the west.  The landscape there was supernaturally growing, blossoming and transforming right before my eyes.

Sub-dream description over…

I woke up in the velvety green grass.  There was Jesus looking at me and smiling.

Jesus:  “So, Erin, were you house hunting?”

Me:  Laughing.  “I guess so, but only in my dream.”

Jesus:  “I am glad to see you again today.”

Me:  “Lord, we are in need of miracles.  All of our hopes are in You.  I will be coming to You as often as I am able.  Oh yes…thank You for giving me some reprieve from my pain today.  This feels wonderful!”

Jesus:  “Erin, there is soon to come a day when the word ‘pain’ will not cross your lips unless you speak of healing.”

Me:  “I long for this day.  Lord, what does the dream I just had mean?”

Jesus:  “Do you not know?  Well, this dream is good.  In this dream, you were not shopping for a home.  You took shelter in an abandoned old home from the storm.  Once inside, you soon discovered that, what you thought was old and run down, was actually a hidden treasure.

“You then became interested in the home because of the altar the young man’s grandfather had built for Me.  While you had no means to purchase it, you were supernaturally able to do so.  The sellers were happy as they had no interest in the property.

“Now, the woman had tried to claim what was not hers because she had plans to remove the altar and develop the land.  When you then discovered the true worth of the land from her, you still did not sell it.  You did not take the generous return on your investment.  You instead kept it because you wanted to keep the altar intact.

“Once the woman left, the area flourished and blossomed even more.  You then recognized the true treasure.  The treasure was where the man met with Me and you knew that you would be able to meet with Me there as well.

“However, even if I would not meet with you there, you still would have purchased this property.  You would have done this to honor the man who had built this altar in My honor.  This dream is an excellent dream.”

Me:  “While I still do not fully understand, I am glad that I had made such a good decision in this dream.”

Jesus:  “Erin, your old dry bones are about to have new life.  Do not worry as I am with you.  I have not forgotten you.  I will breathe into you so that you may live.  Your hope will no longer be gone.  You will stand and rejoice together.”

Me:  “Oh please, Lord, soon, soon!”

Jesus:  Smiling.  “I have heard your cries.  Your groans are deep within you and I have heard them.  I have given you a new heart and placed a new spirit in you.  I have not forgotten you.  I love you.  Now, rise up!”  He reached out His hand to lift me to my feet.
