Dream 756 – Jesus meets us at our level

Communion
Dear Father,
No matter what, I will praise You in this storm! Thank You for another day. Thank You for all that we have. While we still have heat, at least for now, we do not have any water pressure at all. Father, this is the house You built for us.
As a little girl, I remember not having any home problems. While there was an occasional inconvenient power outage from storms, that was really it.
My grandparents’ home had the same appliances and the same heating system, all without any issues. However, nothing is built to last past the warranty. If there is truly a case to be made for our environment, why are they not required to make appliances, computers and printers last longer. Our landfills are overrun with broken technology.
We now live in a home that is 11 years old. Ever since we have lived here, we have had major breakdowns. Almost all of our appliances have failed at some point. Our water and heating systems have had constant problems. We make frequent use of all of our appliances, so this wear and tear are indicative of a large family.
While this makes sense, some of this is still just so ridiculous. The appliance repairman declined to fix our oven because he said that the technology is tricky now and that he would likely charge more in labor than the price of purchasing a new one. What a waste of metal. Oh Father, nothing is made to last anymore.
I find it interesting that all You created is made to last. This includes man, animals, the trees, grass, stars, the moon and the sun. Of course, there is still the cycle of life and death, but all of this was made perfectly by You. You built everything here to last for Your purposes and an eternity with You, with those who choose You now.
In Matthew 24:35, You said: “Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away!” Every written translation of this verse stays consistent and the wording does not vary by translation.
We take comfort in You, Father, as You are our everlasting God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth!
I spent many years designing kitchens and specifying appliances to fit clients’ needs and budgets. The great changes in the industry are when all manufacturers quit producing in their own homelands and were subject to quality consumer regulations. Name brand companies now send their manufacturing to nations who pay local workers low wages and produce low quality merchandise in order to maximize profits.
No decent guarantee is offered as a testimony to proud craftsmanship. If one is offered, there are so many fine print exclusions, it is laughable. Every part of our lives around us is wearing out and failing. The only pure guarantee is the one You give us. The guarantee is, if we give our heart to You, You promise to have a place for us with You in Heaven, where nothing can wear out.
Oh Father, I am so thankful that not one thing will ever break down in Heaven. My heart races and my breathing quickens in amazement at the beauty of Heaven with You. Yet another example of this is when I became sick again last night. Nausea without plumbing is horrible. I took some pills and prayed. My inner plumbing is the same as my outer plumbing… nothing is working correctly right now.
With our bodies, I now know that the choices I made when I was younger have caused many of my illnesses today. I am guilty of abusing the very body You gave me. I ignored problems and refused to address certain things when troubles started. When you are young, you think you are superhuman, that you just need to power through the pain or you ignore whatever it was until you have no choice but to get help.
God designed us perfectly to last and to live in joy. He wants us to not worry and to praise Him in all situations, both good and bad. These are keys to healthy living…
- Praising God for all He is, has done and is doing.
- Praying to God for others and for His Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
- Praying for protection against enemy schemes.
- Praying for the love and the blessing of God, our Father, over every aspect of our lives and all that we have around us.
Father, this life is not a simple one like my grandparents had. When we were little, it was really fun. We played outside. We were rarely indoors. The food was real and usually homemade. However, the one great exception was Velveeta cheese from the market. Boy, did I hate that stuff. It seems like our lives are now filled with things to worry about. Still, You tell us not to worry. Well, I am trying.
It is just that… well, while I have full faith in my outcome, I don’t necessarily have as much faith on ‘my chosen way’ during this journey. When I am sick, it is really hard to focus on anything else but the pain I am in. Pain has a megaphone and often drowns out Your still small voice. When grieving a loss, the pain of the heart is so great that turning to You can sometimes be an afterthought.
When hit with bad news and there is no solution and no way out, the immediate reaction is deep despair and personal bargaining. Finally, when all else fails and we are at the end of our human options and solutions, then we finally turn to You. I am sorry. I then go to You immediately in prayer.
However, when the trouble and pain is louder than Your Voice, the focus goes to this immediate feeling in Me. This happens in wave after wave until tears come. I then surrender all to You, Father. I am ready for some miracles and I know others are as well. All of these thoughts seemed to feed into one of my dreams last night…
Sub-dream 1 “Jesus plays Lego with my sons” begins…
I was spending time with my sons. In my dream, my younger son was eight and my older son was ten. They were playing with Lego and they were both laughing. I had already known their lives would be difficult in this world. While I was trying to prepare them, they were not really listening to me fully.
I then got up and went to the kitchen. I then heard them talking to someone. I turned the corner and saw that Jesus was now sitting with them. He was playing with the Legos as my sons listened intently to Him speaking.
Jesus: Addressing my older son. “You will be away for a while. You will be scared and you will miss your family. However, know this… your mom will come for you. She loves you. Do not believe what is said of her. These are lies.”
Older son: Nodding as he listened. “Why do I have to leave?”
Jesus: “Because I have a great plan for you. I will make you smart and your memory full of knowledge. You will one day be healed. Now, I have great plans to bless you. However, you must remember all that I tell you.”
Older son: Nodding in agreement. “Okay, I will.”
Younger son: “Can I go with my brother to protect him?”
Jesus: “No, at least not for now. You will after a year though. Now, I have allowed all of this to happen to both of you because I have chosen you for a special purpose.”
Younger son: “People tell me that I am dumb. They hurt me. I don’t talk well.”
Jesus: “I know and I see. They will be held accountable one day. You will be blessed by your hands and you will be a keeper of your words, even when others don’t keep theirs. I will grow you tall and you will no longer be little. The enemy will then be afraid of you. I will heal you and your enemies will run at the sight of you.”
Younger son: Laughing as he played with his Legos. “I like that!”
Jesus: “Now, you will both witness and account for all you see. Your memories will serve both of you when it is needed. The abuse you suffered at the enemies’ hands will return back to them. When you are older, you will witness the difference between those I bless and those I release to their own will. You will both serve Me.”
He was speaking to my sons in a cloud, but almost more like a bubble of light. This is hard to describe. While He instructed them on more things, I could not hear it. I rubbed my eyes and then He was gone. The boys were still playing though.
Me: “Hey, how are you both doing?”
Younger son: “Mom, Jesus came and said hi!”
Older son: “Yeah, it was cool. He played Legos with us.”
Me: “What did He say?”
Older son: “Oh mom, He said ‘Jesus Stuff’. We can’t tell you.”
Me: “Oh, okay.”
Younger son: “Hey, what’s for lunch? Can I have a corndog?”
I went to the kitchen to fix lunch. When I came back, only my younger son was there. I turned and took my older son’s plate back to the kitchen. I was then in our next place… a townhome… and my younger son was now also gone. All of this happened just as Jesus said it would. I sat down and wept in my living room.
Sub-dream 1 over…
I can barely remember certain aspects of my next dream…
Sub-dream 2 “The Clay needs to trust the Potter” begins…
I was sitting next to Jesus. He was at His Potter’s Wheel.
Jesus: “Erin, does the clay ask the Potter, ‘Why are You shaping me like this and for what purpose do I serve?”
Me: “Often, yes, Lord, but we really shouldn’t.”
Jesus: “When this happens, I either reshape the clay by beginning again or I let the clay sit on the shelf and dry up. What would be the best thing?”
Me: “For the clay to instead fully trust in the Potter’s hands.”
Jesus: “Okay, then trust Me for the outcome.” He then pointed to a beautiful vase. “Remember, it is filled with Living Water from My very hands. It is not a display vase to sit dormant. It is functional on many different fronts and it is you. By My Will and by My hands, this is Your Vessel.”
He reached over for my hand and smiled at me.
Sub-dream 2 over…
Me: “What is going on, Father? What is happening?”
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 have not forgotten you! I am with you and My Voice is in you. Now, why did I give you the dream of your sons?”
Me: “I am not sure. It was painful.”
Jesus: “So that you knew that I am on this journey with you. However, not just you, I am also with your sons and your daughter. Now, if I ask you what your greatest gift from Me is, what would you say?”
Me: “My children.”
Jesus: “Those who know Me, and even many who don’t, cherish their children as a great gift. So many have judged you over the years not knowing all that I do. Based on appearances and enemy lies, you were found guilty of poor parenting. You didn’t understand fully what the enemy had done to you.
“Now, your sons were taken from you based on great deception from an evil seat. You had to fight back until you were found to be truthful and until you had evidence to present. While your sons were returned fully to you, great damage had been done during their times away from you.”
Me: “My older son’s 26th birthday is today and my younger son is now 24.”
Jesus: “Your older son is now in his 27th year and your younger son in his 25th. These are good years for release from captivity. They have seen the world in child-like ways. However, the world has sent attacks against them. Just as I was there with them from the beginning, I am still with them. They have had great troubles navigating the world around them.
“Erin, your sons will soon be a proud banner for you. You will testify to My goodness. Do not worry. As for your personal troubles, I am with you. Even though you are under attack, I have sent angels concerning you. All of this will come to nothing as I will provide for your every need. Continue to praise Me in these storms and I will answer your prayers. You are greatly loved.
“It is easy to question everything when troubles arise. Just don’t question the God who loves you. I used your sons against powerful enemies. Their faith in Me has been with a childlike heart. As a result, I will bless them with far greater then they even imagined. Now rejoice, Erin. Do not worry as I have a great surprise for you.
“You will be overjoyed and in great awe at first. I have never forgotten My promises to you. However, neither has the enemy and this is why he discourages you and draws you into pain and sadness. However, I will release you from this captivity to a beautiful place I have prepared for you and your family.
“Now, the uptick in evil has drawn out their great plans against God’s people. You are witnessing the great stage being set for the destruction of the children. However, this is because children are a gift from God, so the enemy hates them. Little does he know that ‘Act 1’ will feature a move of God and My Army that the enemy never saw coming. You will be a part of this.
“Now, rejoice and pray, Erin, as I have you. When you receive discouraging news, know that better news is already decreed and soon to arrive. I am with you. Be excited. As for all those I have called: GET READY! Times like no other are here!”
