Communion

Dear Father,

Thank You for another day! Thank You for Your grace and mercy! Your love and provision! Your promise and our patience. 

We are facing so many troubles–too many to count. There are so many who have been disheartened at the great loss. Without You, Father, we are nothing because You had compassion on us–sacrificing Jesus to save us all. You grew Him from a baby in the midst of man as one of us, but fully Yours. For 33 years Jesus–God–walked among us. Because of Your great love, Father, He now lives in us.

This is a day of great repentance. I’ve been severely humbled since July 2025. I’ve been abased and ground up. I am but a worm. No one knows me here. No one really cares. I go through the motions. I’m grateful that the dreams you’ve given to me tell a different story. I’m glad that my story–Your story–helps others. You are my miracle, Jesus. You are my very breath of life and I’m so thankful that You called me out of darkness years ago. 

I moved 23 years ago, this month, to Bend. It was such an exciting time to be alive, yet I came here and was pummelled. The following year I discovered horrible things and my heart stopped on November 22, 2004. My heart was broken and my dreams were crushed. I spent the next 7 years in shock at all my troubles. I was hammered. Even members of my church said my victim spirit was the cause. So I began praying and fasting to remove this. After a while I realized that I was just in a very long drawn out war. I wasn’t feeling sorry for myself so I thought it best to say nothing if people at church asked how I was doing. To just say, “fine”. So, essentially lie–it was easier than being accused by fellow Christians of causing all my own troubles because of unconfessed sin. 

I repented of everything, Father. Even for my own life. I thought I was a stain to You. One wise friend of mine reminded me of the story of Job and how so many others in your written word have endured many trials. She simply asked me, “Who in the Word of God–the Bride–had things easy?” No one. Not one. So what should make me different?

Instead I should find comfort that I am right where You have me, Father. Thank You. 

“Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail and the fields yield no food, the flock be cut off from the fold and there be no herd in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation. GOD, the Lord, is my strength; he makes my feet like the deer’s; he makes me tread on my high places.” (Habakuk 3:17-19)

Thank You, Father, for everything. Even though we lack many things and we become discouraged when evil people seem to prosper around us, we know You won’t let us go!

I’ve been so broken, so in shock at everything, that I barely noticed spring turn to summer and summer turn to fall. As I laid in bed this morning a hummingbird hovered outside my window. He kept searching for nectar in the vines and trees but was struggling to find anything. I put some nectar out and realized it was 44 degrees outside (Fahrenheit). He wasn’t just hungry, he had a greater need and the Lord allowed me to see it and meet me where he was to assist. I felt called without hesitation. 

Father, I’m sorry when I’m in fear and “bad news has become my companion”, that I don’t immediately come to You. So often I just lament in hopelessness. So I repent for this. I’ve been so sad because I’ve lost so many sparrow friends over the years. Despite my prayers for blessings and healings, You, Father, make the call. Some days I feel like giving up. I’m tired after all these years of battles, the attacks on all fronts continue and I wonder–am I safe from harm anywhere? I want to be in Your loving arms, Father. Please help me today. Pick me up and carry me because I’m too tired to climb on my own. I have too many troubles to list and there is nothing I can do to change anything. 

I’m broken. I repent of anything else, Father. I long to be right before You. I want my heart to be pleasing to You. I have done everything You have asked of me. I’ve withheld nothing from You. Please bless me, Father. Let this be the year of healing and joy.

I recently purchased a small book on spiritual warfare. It’s written by battle warriors–police officers and military.

Father, Your children all do battles here. Strengthen us to stay upright in the fight!

Sub-dream 1 “Repent, Repent, Repent, the Time is Today” begins…

I was on a western shore. It looked like Pacifica in California or another area my parents would take us to surf. As I stood on the cliffs I saw an angel blow a shofar and the ground shook. The cliffs began to fall into the sea. It was devastating. Shaking and falling, I ran inland but noticed the hills were levelling as if they were made of shifting sand. 

Then the area rested for just a short few minutes. Then I heard the angel blow the shofar again. The shaking was more violent–it changed the landscape completely. 

A man covered in dust was stumbling, saying, “Repent, repent, repent and return to dust or eternity in paradise. Repent, repent, repent, the time is today.”

Sub-dream 1 over…

This dream was frightening. I woke up quickly. Lord, I am overwhelmed today. Every part of my body is in pain. Please help me. 

Jesus:  “I’m here, Erin. I am with you. Do not be afraid. I know you are tired, weary and weak. I know you are disheartened but do not withdraw from Me. I can take this from you. Your burden is also Mine to carry. But you must surrender these things to Me. I know at times you question why I led you away from the place I built for you. You must trust Me that this was the time for you to leave. Had you stayed, things would have been a challenge for you.”

Me:  “I know, Lord. I was ready to come home, I just… I’m scared at times, as You know.”

Jesus:  “Then you must go back to the very 22 warnings and remedies you just listed on the pages. I have strengthened you for these battles and I’ve made your hands strong and I have instructed you in the ways you should go.”

Me:  “I pray I have followed Your Will, Lord. My vessel is empty–please fill me with living water–even healing rain. I’ve had interrupted sleep the last several weeks. My sleep schedule has been upside down. The alarm wakes me up out of my dreams suddenly and I can barely remember them.”

Jesus:  “Do you think I allowed this for a purpose?”

Me:  “Yes, Lord.”

Jesus:  “The landscape around you is changing. People are growing even more cold. This is a great season of changes. I am here. You worry about many things–much of which you must surrender to Me and I will provide all you need. The enemy longs to rob, steal and destroy you, but I stand in his way. Turn and cry out to Me. I am here. I promise you good things but it is wisdom to keep your heart yielding to My Word in repentance. This keeps your heart pliable by My hand as clay, which I can shape for My Will. This is good!

“You have not lost favor, if anything, you are like a soldier waiting with other soldiers for the sound of the trumpets then you will ready yourself and be amazed. Take courage and do not be afraid. I love you. I am with you and so, too, is My favor. Rest, you are loved!”

Dream over…
