Dream 637 – Shaping our Vessels into Warriors
Received on Tuesday, October 4, 2022
Note: According to the Hebrew calendar, Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, began at sunset tonight. While this dream was finished before Yom Kippur began, this dream was posted after Yom Kippur began. Yom Kippur is known as the Sabbath of Sabbaths. This is a great day to God as per Scripture and well worth studying.
Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You! You are so good and awesome. Your mercies are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. I took my little dog, Snigglet, to the vets this morning. She had swallowed something causing an obstruction. The last couple of days have been agonizing due to all the cleanups required. However, she seemed back to normal this morning. The vet gave her a clean bill of health.
Father, I am grateful. Thank You for letting this obstruction pass. Please forgive me for being frustrated with her. It was wrong. As I worshipped in the car, Snigglet didn’t want to be in her pet bed. She wanted to be in my arms. This is where she feels the safest. Something unexpected then happened. I had a conversation with the Lord in my car.
Me: “Lord, I don’t blame her. I feel the safest in Your arms too.”
Jesus: “Come to Me when you arrive home.”
Me: “I will, Lord. However, I have such a busy day today.”
Jesus: “These tasks can wait.”
Me: “You are right, Lord. Nothing around me would even be possible without You. My husband, children, pets, home, car… I have done nothing to earn them. All of this is only by Your grace. Without You, none of this would be possible.”
Jesus: “This is why you come to Me. This is because you understand that I am over all things. It is I who give good gifts and grace to those I live.”
Me: “Thank You, Lord.”
I then pulled up to my house. I could see the red squirrels looking for food. They have been mean to me and five of them recently tried to gang up on me. Things feel different in the yard. Even the mourning doves are quarrelling with each other. To defend myself, I have been spraying the red squirrels with a hose. The Lord and I then had another impromptu conversation.
Me: “I have easily seen four or more generations of red squirrels. I have never seen them attack me. I feed them. What is going on?”
Jesus: “Well, I happen to understand this too!”
I laughed so hard. The Lord is so brilliant. What a great sign and analogy for this current generation of great lawlessness and rebellion away from God. All of this has made me rethink feeding the squirrels. I may just feed the birds instead. Their seed have gone up a lot in price. Fruit for our family has too. Almost three-fold for melons. I had an interesting dream last night…
Sub-Dream 1 “Avoiding a meeting with so-called friends” begins…
I was supposed to meet several friends at an outdoor shopping area. While I was still with my family, the rest of them were going to an event. As I began to leave them, a bad feeling came over me that it was a trap. I turned and told them I would stay with them as they were more important to me than meeting with people whom I don’t know very well (these were NOT Nest friends). I phoned them to let them know…
Me: “I won’t be making it.”
Man: Angrily. “Where are you going instead?”
Me: “I am going across town to a large event.”
Man: “We will find you.”
Me: “The tickets are sold out. Where we are going, you cannot go.”
Man: “We are good Christian friends. We wanted to share our testimony with you.”
Me: “Stop being so angry (he was talking in an angry tone). I can catch up with you later. I need to accompany my family to this event. It is important.”
Man: “Meet us at ____ (I forget what he said).”
Me: “I will not. I would have to go through a bad neighborhood to get there.”
I woke up at 6:15am to the sound of a downy woodpecker tapping on the side of our house.
Sub-Dream 1 over…
In the last few days, I have felt tested by the Lord in a few areas. They were clearly areas I could have done better on. I have been struggling with patience in the waiting. I am just so excited about what God has planned for all of us. I was worried that the Lord would grow tired of me. After all, even I am tired of me… smiles.
In terms of my favorite season of fall, this has been a torturous time instead. Even the leaves seem to know something big is about to happen. The leaves are simply shriveling up and falling off the branches. We are not getting our usual fall spectacle. I have never seen this happen. While we have had a few frosts, this is still so very odd.
Me: “Lord, I pray on this ninth day of the ‘Ten Days of Awe’ that, when the Gate closes, I am in that number. It has been such a sad time with illness so horrible. Queen Elizabeth has passed. The storms have destroyed so much. We have had periodic flooding in our basement. My favorite time of the year has been awful. I was hoping this would be a wonderful fall. Instead, it has been so sad.”
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. I have not removed My favor. Your dream simply showed you that you passed the discernment test. You are obedient to My voice. My instructions are above all things to you. As for your distractions, I have now removed them.”
Me: “Well, technically speaking, Lord, the contents of the basement are still littered everywhere. This stuff is in places where we previously had order.”
Jesus: “Yes, I know. However, you choose Me over these things. I will therefore take this burden from you. I will bring you joy and peace. Now, there is something I want to discuss with you. We are close, right?”
Me: “I thought so, Lord.”
Jesus: “I must point out an issue in our relationship. I call you friend, yet you constantly worry about whether I will turn from you and leave you. You worry if I will fulfill My promises I have for you.”
Me: In tears. “Yes, Lord. I am sorry. At times, my dreams are very dark. I worry for those with limited understanding that they will end up stuck here. My dreams are now very close to reality. I had hoped that we would be strengthened and able to endure what is coming to the nations. Great evil is already here.
“Lord, my greatest fear above all things is that I would do something to revoke all Your promises for me. I just want to do right by You in all things. My heart is sick whenever I think of life apart from You. I am scared. I am sorry! Lord, I repent.”
Jesus: “Oh Erin, breathe. Many I call friend and have taken through the furnace of affliction dread enduring this again. Erin, I am with you. I have not forgotten you. I love you.
- You have been to My Home, My Courts, My vineyards, My fields and My pools.
- You have been baptized in the River of Life.
- You have learned from My instruction at the tree with fruits.
- I have revealed so many mysteries to you about the places I have prepared for those who love Me.
- You have also been with Me at My Studio, My Potter’s House, and there you saw your Vessel being shaped by Me.
- I have shared the love of a Groom to His Bride.
“Erin, would I then so easily throw you away?”
Me: “Oh Lord, I am becoming old now. I was so sick. We have been a hurting house. Why did You not take away these troubles?”
Jesus: “I did, I have and I will take anything that comes against you and your house. Do not leave Me at the Altar, Erin, as I will not leave you. I won’t. I have prepared you. You have been given great zeal and fortitude. Your heart is ready with a yearning to help the lost. You have an anger against the wicked you have never had before.”
Me: “Oh Lord, I am so sorry.”
Jesus: “Erin, you are missing My point here. Your Vessel is now ready. As for these last tests, will a Potter not test His Vessel one last time for sturdiness, strength and any last issues? It is better to do this prior to use, understand?”
Me: “While I thought I was ready, this period from August 19, 2022 to now has had some issues and residues to be looked after. Lord, I think my Vessel collected dust waiting on the shelf.”
Jesus: “Oh Erin, there is no dust on you. That is funny. Now, what did these last few weeks teach you?”
Me: “That all the things I have come to expect or enjoy from the world around me has now changed. The favor of God… Your favor… is lifting away. Evil is increasing. Things have lost luster. My husband and I envy no one. We are thankful and happy. We are grateful to be safe. We know the enemy has increased attacks against our kids. Please help us, Lord.”
Jesus: “I come to restore the ruins. I come to rebuild broken walls and shattered dreams. I repair hearts. While many do not know Me, they will. My army of angels in every rank are all around the Earth. They have only to harken to the sound of My Voice and they will descend.
“However, there is another army I have built up. You are in this number. Nothing will come against them. They will converse with angels. I will be in them working through them. They will display awesome deeds. My armies will bring a great healing upon the lands. Evil will flee. They will be far from you.
“Now, some I have trained as warriors in different areas. Each have been readied in their hearts for where I will send them. Some will also be as generals and leaders of many. In all this, all will be in perfect harmony. Many will then ask questions…
- Whose army is this?
- Their skills… who can replicate?
- Their weapons… who can make?
- How is it possible that their strength and power is like their God?
Me: “Wow, how awesome! Thank You. Just to have a fraction of Your abilities will be incredibly awesome! Wow! Thank You!”
Jesus: “There is much more and this you will soon find out. I just wanted to speak with you because, when you are busy, you forget that My Voice is with you. You can ask Me anything, great or small, and I will answer. Now be joyful. Rejoice, Erin, and do not be downcast. I love you. I have not removed My favor.”
Me: “I love You, Lord!”
