Dream 865 – The Open Window is here for us

Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You for another day here! Thank You for all You do for us in all of this uncertainty. I know that, no matter what happens, no matter what troubles we face, no matter how ominous our situation appears, no matter what, You are here with us and we can say confidently You are in control and You have us.
I sat down in my devotional chair this morning to pray and I stared for a moment at the sky. As I did, two eagles flew by. I thanked You, Father, for the wonder of eagles. They disappeared, but were then followed by another who flew even closer, then another after that closer still. All of this happened in under a minute. Father, You are the God of the eagles. Thank You for creating eagle moments.
Friday was a difficult day (November 22, 2024). The pathology report was posted in my medical chart from the Mayo Clinic. There was a lot more to this than I had hoped. In a panic, I contacted my doctor with the expectations I would probably hear nothing until next week. Father, You are infinitely wise in all things. I am relieved to have my kidney removed. Thank You for causing pancreatic pain a year ago.
This led the doctors to discover my cancer. Thank You for all of the medical providers who cared for my case. I now wait for the stage information and an understanding of a new abnormality that was discovered. We then received a call about our dog Zoey in the afternoon. She had been referred to a surgical team of vets quite a distance from home. They gave us a rundown on what their approach was going to be for her.
They then asked that we mull it over the weekend and give them an answer. They would like to get her scheduled for the end of December. My day didn’t get much better as I then killed two spiders in my devotional chair area. This was odd as it is not typical for this time of year. Then yesterday one more surfaced for me to kill in the same spot.
I know I am under attack, Father, as You have sent me signs. While I have been praying, I am sad, so very sad. Last night, I had a difficult sleep. I was sick and kept becoming sick over the course of several hours. I woke up this morning with evidence of a body battle in a night war. I am weak today.
Yesterday, my son asked me why God would choose him for anything. I then went over all of the encouraging cases of God choosing unsung heroes, slaves or shepherds, the least of these, to accomplish His purposes here. He then asked me why he feels so hopeless and depressed. I proceeded to tell him this is common to the children of God.
I then shared the story of Elijah (1 Kings 19). This must have been supernatural because I remembered the story so well. My son had a supernatural experience with God and this continued for several months. Then when things didn’t occur the way he had prayed, he became upset and depressed.
This all reminded me of Elijah fleeing under the threat of Jezebel after God displayed amazing wonders, signs an miracles. In great fear of Jezebel, Elijah fled to the wilderness and came to a broom tree. He asked the Lord to take his life, laid down and slept. An angel of the Lord woke him up and said, ‘Arise and eat!’ There before him was a warm cake and a jar of water. He ate and drank and laid down again.
The angel then came to him a second time and touched him, ‘Arise and eat for the journey is too great for you!’ He arose and ate and drank. He went in the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights to Horeb, the Mount of God. This is where Elijah heard the Voice of God and received instructions. He then did all that God told him to do. Elijah was an enemy of Jezebel and Baal worship.
My son listened to my story about Elijah and I reminded him that God doesn’t call the equipped, he equips those He calls. He asked me, ‘Does any of this get easier?’ My reply was simple… ‘No, the easiest day is always yesterday!’ This is as per the Lord and about those who are trained in battles.
Father, it is difficult for young people to wait now. Patience in the age of instant gratification is truly so difficult. Everything in life waits for its appointed time. I thought ten years ago that things were difficult. In hindsight and compared to the present and real manifestation of dangers today, yesterday seems easy in comparison.
What was the main driving force that makes life overall more difficult? Worry! Not trusting God by His own Words. Stressing about all the unknowns. Planning in fear instead of wisdom. Making easy days difficult because of looming threats. Worry does not add one good thing to your life. A thought then came to me…
If we should not be afraid and even in God’s Word it is written ‘do not be afraid’ 365 times, one for each day of our calendar to serve as reminder for us daily, then this means that there are daily events coming at us to make us afraid. Some people live in fearful places under constant threats.
Other people live in completely peaceful surroundings with no cares in the world but are still fearful of things out of their control. The enemy’s greatest tool is fear. The second is isolation, cutting you off from all those who support and love you. This is in the hopes that you will entertain your fears and failures. Father, my children are struggling. Each has their own unique battles.
I hear sad words such as, ‘It is like if I was suddenly gone, would anyone even notice or care? We had hoped for God’s miracles, but they might never come, mom.’ This is heartbreaking to hear, especially with me now facing my own health battles. As for my husband, he still hasn’t found work. There has been no breakthrough here. We need some miracles, Father If doors don’t open soon, could You still please heal Zoey?
I had a vivid dream last night…
Sub-dream 1 “A huge earthquake and tsunami” begins…
A huge earthquake struck a beautiful coastal town I was visiting. When the earthquake came, it was nighttime. The ground rolled. Anything on a level surface was affected. It was frightening. People then ran outside into the dark after the earthquake stopped to assess the damage. The tsunami sirens then started blowing. We heard someone announce that we only had three minutes to get to higher ground.
People were screaming and running. Then it came. It struck all of the homes at sea level. Luxurious homes fell into the sea. The resorts and shops were all underwater. Soon there was no electricity, only an eerie silence. It then seemed as if hours had passed before the water retreated. Dawn then came and the devastation was horrific.
My daughter and I then went looking for people who needed help. We had to cross areas with pools that had formed. Some were deep and had sharp objects and glass at the bottom. We prayed because, on our own, we could do nothing. We then heard a man yelling at the top of his lungs…
“It’s not over yet! Incoming!”
Sub-dream 1 over…
I am not sure where this was. While I think we had been changed, I am not sure. Father, this seemed so real. Our lives and every event in them are all controlled by You. In Jeremiah 5:22, the waves may toss and roar, but they never pass the boundaries You set. They are powerful and they roar, but they can never overstep the limits You place on them.
Even though things seem dark and foreboding and there is no good news yet, I know You command all things. You control even the waves that threaten to overcome us. You have them harnessed and in Your grip.
You knew Elijah was in great fear and desired death, but You then gave him miracles, signs and wonders. You gave him bread and a jar of fresh water. You did this not just once, but twice. Even this was not the end. You cared for Elijah. It wasn’t made easy for him in life, but You used him in a mighty way.
My doctor’s office then phoned about my pathology report. Removing my kidney removed the cancer. It was clear cell renal carcinoma. They will call me on December 3, 2024 (my older son’s birthday) for my telehealth appointment. After hanging up, I praised the Lord. We now pray that the insurance covers the majority of the bills!
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. Why are you afraid?”
Me: “Because the worst has usually happened. I expect it.”
Jesus: “Has this benefitted you?”
Me: “No, Lord. But if a tsunami was coming at me, it wouldn’t be peaceful.”
Jesus: “In your dream, the Earth shook, waking up those who slumber. Then an alarm sounded telling all who were listening and awake to flee to higher ground, not stand there and wait for the waves to overcome them. Erin, I am there on the Higher Ground. Those who flee to higher ground in this situation are saved. Since I am over it, come to Me. I am your Lord and Savior.
“Now, the last week has been difficult for you. When you are in pain, fear sets in. You have been wrestling with Me daily.”
Me: “Lord, I am sorry. I have been thinking about death. I know the beautiful place You have prepared for us. I am just having days that I fear death and wonder if You are still happy with me. We had some doors closed here and things have been difficult.
“Our children work jobs that I am not certain I would want, especially my younger son. His job is dirty and he is covered in oil when he gets home. It is a job that doesn’t pay much and he is disheartened. However, he likes his employer and coworkers. It is just humbling.
“My daughter works in a dangerous area of town and deals with people who are on drugs and mentally gone. The pay is good, but the daily threats are always looming. I am also worried about some issues she is having with her legs and feet. I am praying You would heal her.
“Then there is our Zoey… Lord, please help me here as she is family. What they are suggesting we put her through could cost her life.
“Then my husband… please give him a job… open a door for him.
“All of these things, especially when combined, are so humbling for all of us.”
Jesus: “You are wrestling with Me because you expected things to be different. Instead, it seems as if troubles have increased. A few days ago, you stopped pleading for help. Why?”
Me: “Lord, since You have the power to harness massive tsunamis and infinitely more, surely You can harness my waves. I just thought you had grown tired of me. Maybe I became tired of hearing myself ask. We rely 100% on You, Lord. My talking becomes…” I sighed. “…well, irritating. I feel tired of my voice and even of my prayers. Oh Lord, when I know You know, it…”
Jesus: “I understand. Things haven’t unfolded or blossomed out the way you had prayed and believed for. This doesn’t mean that your petitions and requests won’t be answered. Erin, your prayers for others have been answered. This has been a time of a Great Shift. Do you remember when you prayed while on the way for your surgery?”
Me: “Yes. I had a vision. It was epic…
Sub-dream / vision 2 “An Epic Vision on October 31, 2024″ begins…
I saw the sky open, the clouds part and an army of angels. There were about a half a million to a million angels easy, but I don’t know. They descended upon the Earth. While praying in my Holy Spirit language, I knew a breakthrough had come. I knew a siege had been removed. I knew that good news was coming.
I felt the darkness was beginning to recess back and those dwelling there were retreating. Your angel army was chasing down those who had bound up your servants. We had been loosed and freed from bondage. Something was about to occur and soon.”
Sub-dream / vision 2 over…
“Well, Lord, it did and just a few days after this vision. Your Jehu rose up (the election of Donald J. Trump to return as President). By Your Command, the angels stopped the steal. It has been exciting.”
Jesus: “Yes, Erin, but what of you?”
Me: “Lord, the enemy is regrouping and reorganizing against the children of God. It is the time after an earthquake when the tides suddenly go out from the shores. The beaches are exposed and the day seems peaceful and calm. I have seen photos of people going out to find beautiful seashells and playing in the sand. All the while, the tides retreat into Your harnessed waves and then… trouble… a tsunami. It feels like this now and my heart is unsettled.”
Jesus: “Then you should be in prayers and supplications daily to the One who harnesses the waves. The enemy doesn’t harness anything but the evil it unleashes.”
Me: “I just had hoped that harvesting, healing and Your glory would come in full power right now. According to the Jewish calendar, last year was the year of the open door and this year is the year of the open window.”
Jesus: “Then rejoice, Erin. Look in front of you. What do you see?”
Me: “Windows. Through them, all that You have created. I see clouds, sky, trees, mountains, eagles, birds, grass, the sun…”
Jesus: “Yes! Clear windows framed by curtains or a window veil to shelter you from the brightness of the sun or to conceal you from those who look in at night. However, it is much more than this… an open window is you, Erin… your soul, your heart, your eyes… are open to My Spirit, open to the heart of God.
“Just as you have windows in your house, your eyes are windows to your body. When your eyes are wide open in wonder and belief, your body fills up with light (Matthew 6:22-24 from the Message). Think of this also…
“The Bridesmaids wait for their Groom with their lamps ready. However, don’t they also stand watch through the open window so they can hear the noise from the Groom’s party and see He is coming? They stand watch through the night through an open window, not an open door.
“If your children are coming home from work at night, do you leave the front door open for them?”
Me: “Unlocked, but not wide open.”
Jesus: “Why not?”
Me: “Racoons, squirrels and other critters could come in. Thieves too. Our dogs would also run out of the open door. We can see just fine through the windows.”
Jesus: “Very good. All of this aside brings Me to what the open window truly means.”
I felt a nudge to open the Bible.
Me: “Lord, I went to Scripture and found Malachi 3:10. Lord, this is what is written in Your Word and it is something I sometimes forget is there…
“And thereby put Me to the test, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.”
“This Scripture is in reference to tithing…”
Jesus: “Yes. However, this is the same… your prayers and giving open up the windows of Heaven… some say the floodgates. This is because it is a supernatural act of God to open the window of Heaven and pour out blessings. In Heaven, there is no lack. Here where you are, there is lack. Erin, I am the window. Seek Me so I may be found by you.
“This is no small study. A home without windows has no light. A man with no eyes to see has no vision. This makes for a difficult life. This is the month of thankfulness. It is the month of transition into harsher winter months. While there is uncertainty, there is also hope.
“Erin, I am with you. I love you and I have opened the window of Heaven over you. Rejoice and do not worry!”
