Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day here! Thank You for Your love and affection. Thank You for Your signs and wonders. I have been in great distress. This last week, You have allowed so much bad news that I can barely believe all of it. In my dreams, I have been inundated with so many spiritual signs, I can barely remember every detail. Yesterday, and for the first time in a while, I spent time praising You and really crying.
I have not had a free flow of tears like this for at least a few weeks. It must have been time. While I should deal with difficulties by handing things over to God, my habit is to panic instead. I then map a course, ‘my course’. I then finally realize all is futile… yet again… and turn back to God for His Guidance and Love.
I must admit that I was mad at the Lord this week. I am facing an illness I thought was gone by God’s Grace years ago… eight years ago to be exact. I have been moved up to the front of the line for treatment. Father, do I take it? Has it gone too far since I am exhibiting stage 3 of symptoms? I have beautiful curly hair. Will I lose it?
Then, on top of this, my disability case is now to be determined by one bitter case manager. There will likely be an even longer battle ahead. As for all three of my children, they have unique battles at their places of work. Two of them just left their jobs this week after just a few shifts. As for my youngest son, he stays. However, he is being taken advantage of by being given all of the late-night closing shifts.
On top of all of this, the symptoms I was told by my neurosurgeon to look for are also here. I find myself ignoring this though as I do not see how they line up with God’s promises. The letters on the page sometime appear to be doubled. My headaches are becoming worse.
It now takes a really long time to read or reply to an email or a text. When I type my words, they are no longer clear. Still, when I start to panic, I then hear You say ‘I am here, Erin. Do not worry. I am with you.’ Here is the miraculous part though… when I write down words in my journal, they are clear. My eyesight remains clear. This makes it ‘clear’ to Me that He is right here with me.
I met a friend from Oregon who now lives out here. I met her for coffee and we went thrift store shopping. I had been pouting because nothing has happened as I had been praying. I also felt the Lord has been mad at me since I have been mad at Him. While I obviously still love Him, I was just downcast, asking the Nest for prayers. I had also been struggling to find comfortable shoes for my injured foot.
Well, both feet have now been in pain. It is rare that I ever find a pair of shoes at a thrift store. In fact, I donate good shoes. However, I find most people only donate old smelly shoes. I learned a long time ago though from God that one should never donate things that are not in good enough shape for someone else to wear.
Anyway, while in this thrift store, I turned down an aisle and saw a wonderful brand-new pair of sneakers with a cluster of crystal flowered buckles. I laughed and thought ‘wow, these are fun!’ They had a European size and a name of a French designer I had never heard of. I tried them on and they fit perfectly. They were so comfortable.
Not thinking anymore of it, I proceeded to purchase the shoes for $44. While expensive for a thrift store if in used condition, these were reasonably priced for new shoes. When I got home, I showed my husband and asked for his opinion. I loved his reply. He said ‘Wow, they are so cute. Beautiful are the feet who brings Good News!’ We then laughed as they were such unusual shoes, truly one of a kind and so pretty.
After dinner, I went to rest. I was now exhausted and weak. For fun, I decided to look up the maker of the shoes. They were so comfortable, I was wondering if they had other styles and if they were reasonably priced. Well, let me tell you… I was in complete shock! The shoes were a very current style and selling at very high-end stores, some for almost $2,000. Nordstrom was ‘the cheapest’ at ‘only’ $1,295!
Now I truly knew this had to be from God. Why would anyone give away a new pair of sneakers worth that much money? While I am not a shoe person, I have rarely ever spent over $100 for even a pair of winter boots. At this price, I have to admit that I am even afraid to wear them. Still, they only cost me $44. While these were clearly a gift from God, should I try to sell them instead? Hmm, they just fit so perfectly!
When I later spoke about my ‘amazing bargain find’ with my husband and kids, all of them said I should wear them and that God wanted me to have them. Well, I will take their advice and wear them on the next good weather day. Perhaps this might only be for a few days before winter comes in and then I will wait again until spring. Thank You, Father, for the most comfortable shoes imaginable ‘this side of Heaven’.
Sub-dream 1 “The Spider in the Dimly Lit Room” begins…
I was in a dimly lit apartment with white walls and no furniture. There seemed to be no power. There were two or three black extension cords draped across the carpet. I could see they were unplugged and led to lamps. However, I could not see clearly enough to find an outlet. I picked up one of the cords. Right next to my hand was a massive black spider.
I took the heavy extension cord and slammed it down on the spider. I must have killed it as it remained motionless. Suddenly, one of its severed legs came at me. The setting was so dark, but not too dark. It was just light enough that I could see this thing coming at me, but not clearly. The Lord then quickly reminded me of Matthew 25:7 and that He is always looking after me.
Sub-dream 1 over…
Oh Lord, my light is being consumed by my circumstances. Even though You are with me and all I have to do is ask You, I instead stumble around in a dimly-lit apartment. I am looking for the socket to plug the cord to my lamp in. Is this like looking for oil for a lamp? I recognize when the enemy lurks there in the darkness and I work quickly to destroy it. However, the enemy still pursues me even with just one leg.
Sub-dream 2 “Time to Usher in a New Era” begins…
I witnessed a van driving out to all the farmlands. They were measuring their worth. Some families were removed from their farms because they were unable to purchase equipment that met their standards to operate. They either had to comply or pay penalties. Unable to do either, families were then forced to hand over their properties to the men in the white vans.
Man in the white van addressing the families: “It is time to usher in a new era!”
The families were quiet and in tears. I then saw an open flatbed truck pick up each family, along with their keepsakes, clothing and wares, and drive them to a type of tent city. The conditions there were incredibly poor. They had an open-air trade market with dirt walkways. There were no restrooms, just portable waste units. The smell was terrible. The facility was surrounded by a barbed wire fence.
Sub-dream 2 over…
This sub-dream seamlessly morphed into a real-life situation later in the day when I saw a white van driving down the road with the letters U S H R on the side. The white van had a slide bar roof rack with cameras and satellite equipment. It looked like the Google Map Car with the multiple cameras. There was also a sentence on the van saying ‘Surveying made easy’ (or something to that effect).
I was in shock as God was obviously showing me something. Why USHR? Well, I then found out that USHR in Islam is a form of agricultural tax. Are they preparing to implement a forced tithe / tax on non-Muslims? This seems diabolical. I never thought that I would ever see this where we live!
Sub-dream 3 “Closing Sale in Japan” begins…
I was in Japan visiting. I was looking for a particular church. No matter where I went, I could not find this church. Before I was able to find this church, I was contacted by my friends. They wanted to meet with me at a restaurant that served ‘continental food’. Even though I was not sure what ‘continental food’ meant, I decided to still meet them. As I was entering the restaurant, I saw a sign for an antiquities dealer called ‘Shojis’.
I glanced inside the store through a window and I saw that there were beautiful displays in various rooms with screens. A sign over the door said ‘Our Door is Always Open!’ However, another sign said ‘Store Closing – All Must Go!’ I noticed that no one was entering the store. Just then, the hostess from the restaurant came to take me to the table with my friends. When I arrived, I was still curious about the neighboring store.
Me: “What is the story on Shojis, the store next door?”
Friend 1: “What? Have you not heard?”
Friend 2: “This is why you are here. Japan has fallen to China. All antiquities and historical evidence of Japan’s existence are now being removed. It is now illegal to own anything Japanese. All the people are subject to the new way. The owner of the store is just trying to sell it all or even give it away before they come for him.”
Friend 1: “Unfortunately, he will be killed. His family is royalty and they are marked for slaughter. He is trying to preserve their history, the history of the Japanese people.”
Me: “Given that there is a war coming and they know it, why are there so many people here still functioning as normal, especially given the coming invasion?”
Friend 2: “Honor before surrender.”
Me: “Hmm, I got it. No churches will be allowed either, right?”
Friend 1: “No. They do not know about Jesus as this was not taught to them here.”
Me: “Well, I hope you don’t mind, but I am going to go into Shojis now.”
I went over and knocked on the door to Shojis. What I saw contained within the store was quite beautiful. The man came over to me and spoke to me in broken English.
Man: “Please come in and look around.”
Me: “How much for everything.”
Man: In shock. “What would you do with it?”
Me: “Relocate it.”
Man: Laughing. “Impossible. They are coming.”
Me: “The God of Heaven has sent me. He is greater than they are.”
Man: “No, that is impossible.”
Me: “God has not forgotten the Japanese people. He has a great plan. Now, how much for all of it?”
Man: “You can have all of it for $100,000.”
I heard the Lord tell me that this was worth a few million and to make the deal.
Me: Smiling. “Okay, deal!”
Just then, there was a knock on the door. It was an angel of the Lord. He had arrived with a briefcase. He stepped in and opened the briefcase. It was full of cash. The man turned as white as a ghost. The angel then spoke in Japanese to the man. The man dropped down before the angel. When the man looked back up, the angel was gone, but the briefcase remained. The man took the money. As soon as he did, all of his inventory was gone to the naked eye. The man trembled.
Me: “The army is coming for you. However, do not fear. All of you will now be removed to a distant land where you will talk to the Lord.”
Man: “Thank you. Yes, please help us.”
In an instant, the man was gone. Just then, I could hear the distinct sound of artillery starting up. I was then also removed in an instant.
Sub-dream 3 over…
Me: “Oh Lord, that was such an intense dream. Is China about to invade Japan?”
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
He once again spoke to me while I sat in my devotional chair. His Voice was very clear.
Jesus: “Oh Erin, be at peace. You worry about many things. Is any of this something you can control? Hmm, Little Sparrow?”
Me: “No, Lord, there is nothing. All I can control is my reaction.”
Jesus: “Share with Me about your name. What did you find?”
Me: “I found out that the Hebrew meaning of my name is Shulamite.”
Jesus: “Shulamite. Erin, do you not see who you are yet?”
Me: “Like a Bride?”
Jesus: “Yes, but what are you like? Pick any woman in My Word. Who are you most like?”
Me: “I had hoped Esther, but perhaps not?”
Jesus: “Erin, read Song of Solomon, the Song of Songs. This is a grand love story. You are just like the Shulamite. You worry. You go out to see if I am there. You think yourself not worthy. You chase after Me and I you. While you were once apart from Me, you then became My Bride, My Love. In turn, you love Me. (Song of Solomon 1:11 and 3:1-5)”
Me: “But, Lord, the woman does not open the door when her love knocks. Then when she discovers her mistake, she runs after him only to find him gone. (Song of Solomon 5:2-8)”
Jesus: “Well, there is a favorable difference when it comes to ‘our Story’! When I knocked, you ran and opened the door. You opened the door every time I knocked to let Me in. The Song of Solomon is a cautionary tale. By opening the door each time I knocked, you avoided the outcome in the Song of Solomon. Erin, I am now in you. However, at times, you are still functioning as if I will reject you for no good cause.
“Take comfort, Erin, for I have made closed-ended promises to you, not open-ended. When have I said ‘if only you would do such an such, you will be healed’? No, Erin, I have instead said ‘you will be healed ‘period’, understand? While to have a love and fear of God is good, to live in fear of the One Who loves you defies logic. Now, what have I done to show you that I don’t love you in return?”
Me: “Nothing. If anything, You pour out even more love. I am so grateful.”
Jesus: “I chose you because you still think like a young Bride to be preparing to meet her Groom. You worry that I will not find you pleasing. You worry that I will find you unworthy. Erin, I do not and will not reject you. I lift up your head instead.”
Me: “Lord, when I face troubles, I wonder if it is because I am out of Your favor.”
Jesus: “How can you be out of My favor when we are now in an even closer communion than ever? When you go a wrong way, I stop it. When you speak your own tongue, I am quiet. You are quick to correct a wrong and I am quick to bless you because of it. You know that, aside from Me, there is no thing that is good. We are together now. You are now experiencing ‘The Great Auto-Correct of God’!”
Me: Laughing. “Oh Lord, that is exactly what it is like now.”
Jesus: “Now though, trust when I place something on your heart more than once that this is the Holy Spirit confirming a direction. Then ask Me for instructions. I am here.”
Me: “Lord, did You send me those shoes?”
Jesus: “All good things come from Me. I am God and I am allowed to bless you. You are a daughter of the King.”
Me: “So, You want me to actually wear them? Should I not sell them instead?”
Jesus: “Okay, so, God has given you a gift, but you now determine that the gift is too wonderful for you. You then sell it to the highest bidder? Hmm…”
Me: “Forgive me, Lord. I was raised that I did not deserve fancy things. I felt guilty with things too wonderful for me.”
Jesus: “Are you planning to display the shoes and worship them instead of wearing them? No. This would be foolishness. Wear them and think of Me. When I give you a treasure, do not brag of the item, but instead brag about the God, your God, who loves you. You are not flashy. You do not own those designer pajamas you once did.
“If people judge you without knowing you, I will then judge them by the same hypocritical measure. Pray for them. According to God, you have more than paid the price. Now, God knows you are struggling. The angels are helping Me to lineup ‘The Gift’. Now rejoice!”
Me: “Around these parts, barely anyone would even know about this brand of shoe. Who here could even afford such a shoe?”
Jesus: “Hmm, then no one will really pay attention.”
Me: “I will sparkle!”
Jesus: “To Me, you have always sparkled.”
Me: “I love You, Lord.”
Jesus: “I love you, Erin, Princess of Peace. Now, you are dealing with a hidden enemy who operates in dim conditions. Remember that I am your Light. Darkness is sweeping across the nations. There are great signs of war soon to come. Great provocateurs have begun to gather their armies. However, greater is the Army of God than any of these.
“If I can send you a pair of high dollar shoes out in the middle of nowhere at the price of a package of meat, I can then do anything. Remember that I also had to call you there at the very moment the shoes were placed on the floor. Not only that, but the shoes had to fit you perfectly… which they do. You needed Me to lift your head and I chose to do it this way.
“Now, about the Japanese people… they are far from Me right now. They have remained behind shut doors and Shoji screens. However, I will soon call out to them. I will not desert them. Though they are far from Me, I will still pursue them. A Great Revival will then reach them and their enemies will be kept at bay.
“Erin, do not worry as I have reign over all things. While the enemy seems to be gaining ground, they are not. I have revealed their plans to My people and many will rise up against their evil schemes. However, a Great Wave of Heaven will come first. Erin, this Great Wave is coming! Rejoice, Erin, rejoice, as the enemy will not prevail.”
Dream over…
