Dream 555 – Our Vessels as a Measure for Others

Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day! Thank You for my heartbeat. Thank You for fresh air to breathe. Thank You for fresh well water. I am thankful for You. Father, I had two very vivid dreams last night. The second one was a strong warning about something I have already suspected.
Sub-dream 1 “A Dress for My Mom’s Wedding” begins…
I was purchasing furnishings for a client and shipping them via a large box van from a supplier in High Point NC to their church further west. As I was budgeting and making selections, I received a phone call from my client to design their church as well. While they were very specific in what look they were trying to achieve, I felt they were moving in the wrong direction. I decided to speak up…
Me: “What you are looking for is scarce and very impractical for the use. While it would look good at first, it would not hold up under use.”
Instead of replying, they gave me a glare that told me they didn’t care about what I just said. I could now tell that this was going to be one of those jobs where the clients will forget that I told them opposing advice to their plan. As I looked over the items that matched their criteria, I realized I was in a no-win situation no matter what I did. Well, I made the only practical choice I could.
I decided to turn completely away from the job. I just knew that they would later make me the scapegoat if I stayed on. Freed from this job, I remembered that I had an exciting task I had to do. I received a call reminding me that I needed a dress for my mother’s wedding. I was so excited for her. I went to Nordstrom, a well-known department store in the USA, and asked about formal dresses.
Me: “I need a dress for my mother’s wedding. Do you have any recommendations?”
Clerk: “Unfortunately, we have very few to select from. This is because no one dresses like this anymore.”
Me: “Show me what you have and I will see if anything works.”
I was taking this seriously as this was important for my mom. Not only was she getting married, but she was also graduating from some prestigious program. I was so happy for her. The clerk returned and laid out seven dresses. I eliminated three immediately because they looked like prom dresses. A prom dress would draw attention away from my mom’s big day and I didn’t want this.
As for the other four dresses, they were mediocre. I wasn’t really finding what I was hoping for. The clerk then came out with an eighth dress. It was a grey woven satin dress. While the dress was beautiful, it came with some strange accessories. Besides strange gloves, it also came with a strange hat. This hat also worked as a mask.
Me: “I love the dress and will take it, but I don’t want the accessories.”
Clerk: “The accessories are perfect for the look. You really should love them.”
Me: “I don’t need a mask where I am going. It looks ridiculous. Why even go to a venue in a formal gown if you could catch a disease? This is dumb.”
Clerk: Now visibly upset. “Listen, the accessories are non-negotiable. They come with the dress. You must purchase them if you say yes to the dress.”
Me: “Fine. I will purchase them.”
As the clerk reached for the accessories, they suddenly disappeared. She was in shock. She called some co-workers over and they looked everywhere. They could not be found. I was as ‘not disappointed’ as the clerk was disappointed. I bought the dress without the accessories and was on my way.
Sub-dream 1 over…
Sub-dream 2 “A Terminal Cancer is Discovered” begins…
My husband and I were living in an area with small cottage homes on a golf course somewhere. I had an appointment with a specialist in the afternoon. I had to straighten up some things at home first before my appointment.
As I walked around, I suddenly noticed a tumor on my body that was very prominent. It had come out of nowhere. While I walked to my appointment, the tumor was uncomfortable as I did. When I arrived at my appointment, I was greeted by a female doctor that was a specialist…
Specialist: “The cancer you have is quite aggressive. There is nothing that can be done to cure it. It is terminal.”
Me: “How long do I have to live?”
Specialist: “I don’t know. Perhaps it is best to just live and enjoy the time you have.”
Sub-dream 2 over…
This dream was very clear. In exactly one week, in the afternoon of Wednesday, January 12, 2022, I have a real appointment with a specialist. So, Father, what does this dream mean? There have been some unusual signs from You this week. During the week between Christmas and New Year’s, we noticed trouble with our internal well mate (not to be confused with the external well pump we replaced a few years back).
The pressure gauge was really high and it was filling a five-gallon bucket at around two inches per day. Because it was a holiday week, we could not have a technician come out until Monday, January 3, 2022. He came and replaced our pressure valve and checked our well mate. Since we are living on borrowed time with the existing well mate, we put it on order. If it broke without a new one, we would have no water for around six weeks. We didn’t want to risk this.
We are also having a problem with a very pesky porcupine that is living under our deck. He has been eating our beautiful tall maple tree under the cover of night. As a result, our tree is dying and turning black. We believe that this porcupine is what caused our beloved cute groundhogs to leave.
We then are having a problem with a neighbor who lets their dog run into our yard. This dog then chases away the little animals and birds. This dog killed a baby groundhog two summers ago. While I have asked them nicely to leash their dog, they refuse.
Me: “Lord, why are these things happening? Am I in sin? Are You allowing this to teach me to have more patience? I need help. The enemy seems to be winning these wars. This is so irritating.”
Jesus: “Erin, come up!”
He once again spoke to me while I sat in my devotional chair. His Voice was very clear.
Jesus: “First off, you are not sinless. No one is. If you were sinless, this would make you free from spot or stain and perfect.”
Me: “I am certainly far from perfect and definitely not sinless. I repent for even implying this, Lord. Please forgive me.”
Jesus: “Now, let’s look at your frustration with these situations. While frustration is not a sin, what you do as a result of frustration can be. This is where someone who is careful to obey my commandments and laws can make an error. You understand that, for now, these situations are not easy. These are frustrating because you feel unable to control them.”
Me: “Lord, I need Your help to rid our property of this porcupine. I also need Your help with the dog. If only the dog and the porcupine would meet.”
Jesus: In a disapproving tone. “Erin…”
Me: “Sigh… I am sorry, Lord. I repent. I am concerned that one of us will startle the porcupine and end up in the hospital.”
Jesus: “Well then, you need a Savior. I am here. I am in you. These situations are not a result of sin. I am still here and I am not silent. Now, give Me this porcupine and dog. I will open doors here and these will no longer be a burden.
“Now, the well mate in question… this was a blessing as you did not ignore the warnings. You addressed them head on. At times, My people are inconvenienced by things and they think it is a result of unanswered prayers by Me. Well, they often are not. They then ask Me why they have troubles with broken things.”
Me: “I sometimes wonder why we have to struggle with these things.”
Jesus: “Did it ever occur to you that it is not always about your faith, your convenience or even your patience being tested. Perhaps it is about the worker fixing it instead. There are many out there with heart issues. I am not here for those who are well. A physician does no good treating those who are not sick. A physician is there for those who need a cure. I am the Good Physician. I come to heal the sick.”
Me: “Are You saying that our broken vehicles and household problems are a Vessel for You to work miracles to the lost?”
Jesus: “Well, yes. Right now, you are being called to pray for the lost. Speak as I call you, but, for now, be patient as I work through you for My purposes. Now, I know often these are not people you wish to dine or socialize with, but there is a reason I have called them, understand? While some are wicked, some are good. While you sometimes know them by their words, you can usually know them by their actions.”
Me: “Yes, Lord, this is true. Lately, we have enjoyed the more down-to-earth salty technicians who tell us stories about our area when they were boys. It is fun and they are kind. They do not curse us. The scary ones are the ones who tell you one thing and then charge you based on your lack of knowledge. While they are nice to your face, they secretly hate you.”
Jesus: “Well, they are vocal at times.”
Me: “Yes, we had one last year (Rob). He was very self-serving and cruel.”
Jesus: “He was measured and has a bad heart condition. I removed him from your house.”
Me: “Thank You for removing him, Lord.”
Jesus: “I know it is difficult right now because you feel more like a measuring device for the Kingdom of Heaven vs a Vessel of Living Water for healing the lost and disheartened. However, all of this will change and, yes Erin, in your lifetime. Now, you have a matter that is weighing heavily upon your heart.”
Me: “Yes, Lord. My dream of terminal cancer (Sub-dream 2). Is this a dream warning me about spiritual death or was it warning me about actual cancer? This is a great fear of mine. I am afraid I have done something that deserves me being passed over from all You have in store for Your Mighty Army.”
Jesus: “Oh Erin, this is a thought straight from the enemy. For you to have a spiritual death, you would no longer hear from Me and you would have rejected all that is good in you. You would be void of Me. Well, Erin, here I am. I am right here. Let’s eliminate this common dream interpretation altogether.
“Dreams like this are good for those who are not fully walking on the path I have chosen for them. These are often used as warnings for them to make a change. This is not the case for you. I have told you that I have made a way for you. You are on the path I have chosen for you. You are Mine. If you were not, you would be void of My Voice. So then, what is the answer?”
Me: “Is it that I am really sick and this is my seven-day warning?”
Jesus: “Wow, that is very dark and so final. Look, I am in you. I am with you. You had warning signs about your well mate. In the olden days, this would be like the bucket, the crank and the rope to bring up fresh water. This means the conduit is in need of a fix so you can remain bringing water into your home. You did not brush off these signs. These signs were a very obvious sign of pending on-going troubles ahead.
“As for the porcupine, this is a bad vessel of destruction coming in the dark of night to strip life away. Then there is the dog. It is not the dog that is the problem. It is the wicked owners. They are deceivers.
“Now, you know you are ill. You have the signs and I have told you this. A specialist will see you and give you information based on her understanding. You have something she will need to research as she is not fully familiar with this. Her sleep will be disturbed and she will contact you shortly after with what will be next.
“Remember that the enemy desires your death. He enjoys the fear and delays you are going through here. There are delays for the millions of those who need other treatments now aside from the plague.
“Do not be afraid, Erin. I am with you. Your life is about to change. I have not abandoned you. Whatever I allow and wherever I take you, even greater will be your reward. Do not be afraid as I will not leave you. I am with you. I am the Good Physician.”
Me: “Lord, is the specialist I am about to see in need of You like the technicians we have been around lately?”
Jesus: “Yes. However, it is like this now wherever I send you. You are treated unreasonably by many as hearts have become like stone. You are seeing a rise in wicked activities all around you. There are less and less kind people because they are silent in fear. Now, the physician you will meet needs a miracle. You are the Vessel I will use.”
Me: “Okay, Lord. As I have always trusted You with my most precious family, friends, animals, birds and things, then I must also fully trust You with my Vessel. You created me to fill with good things. I love You, Lord, and I trust You with my life.”
Jesus: “Surrendering your life to Me is the heart of faith. Your heart is the center of this. Your heart is the Wellspring of Living Water. The Living Water refreshes those who are thirsty. Rejoice, Erin. I love you. You are not broken. This is not terminal. I am with you. My love for you is eternal and has no end. The only terminal you will experience is the train terminal station. Now, rejoice. This is good. This is the beginning of your journey, not the end.”
