Communion

Dear Father, 

Thank You for another day here! Thank You for all You have given me. Each day is made new! Each day You give is truly a gift and I’m so grateful for days. My eldest son has been staying with us for a visit but his time here is coming to a close and he must travel back to Washington State. 

He is trapped in an enemy stronghold and lives in enemy territory. All I can do is pray and believe for a divine miracle. Fear has had victory over him. He has high functioning autism but no help or support. He wants to be independent or live with us but he can’t until I’m able to find a home to purchase. Under our lease, he can’t stay to live here and our home is small. Father, please make a way so I can have a home with enough space. So far, I simply am unable to purchase a larger home. I personally would be very happy in a small home. As I become older, smaller makes more sense. For now though, I enjoy the company of my family and dogs. 

Father, You know what is best in this life–I don’t because I simply can’t see the bigger picture, but You can. 

Why is life so difficult? Father, help me to find joy and peace in this place I love. Please let my heart finally be settled and let not troubles fall upon my house. I haven’t cried much since we’ve arrived here but this last month after the accident, I’ve been crying more. Maybe it’s the build up to this season I am in. Maybe it’s the uncertainty of the future as I still have no permanent home. I’m not sure. 

Father, I’m going to continue to run this race. It’s not a pretty race. Lately I’ve been walking and resting more that I normally do. 

A physical wound brings memories of pain. I forgot how painful my fall was May 8th of 2014 and what a life-changing event this was for me. It was the perfect catalyst to a deeper spiritual walk with You, Father, and I’m grateful. My healing didn’t fully occur but over time I was able to adjust my daily walk and learn a different way to live and move. I had to say goodbye to my old way. My way to make a living was removed and my focus turned to You and family. When this recent accident occurred I stepped backwards. All the physical strides I had made seemed to be erased in a day. Now I’m looking at physical therapy and modifications again so I can avoid surgery. 

Father, please heal me. I love You. I am sorry if I have gone my own way in my own strength. It takes twice as long to write half of what I used to. It’s discouraging. Please guide my pen efficiently for Your glory!

Night before last, I had a very vivid and disturbing dream…

Sub-dream 1 “The Starving Sparrow Hawk” begins…

I had been observing the desolation of what once was a beautiful forest wilderness. It appeared as if a cataclysmic event had taken place, like a bomb. The forest was reduced to ash. The sky was about the same color where it met the horizon–gray to gray. 

As I looked over this massive round ash-like crater area I saw movement on the top of a burned tree trunk. There, staring at me, was a very thin, emaciated sparrow hawk. I could see his chest was no longer white, but ashen with his stripes appearing faint. He looked gaunt and sickly. 

As I scanned the landscape for other forms of life–like small sparrows or even mice, there was nothing. No sign of life. No source of food. It looked too weak to fly. 

Sub-dream 1 over…

The image was horrible. 

My daughter had to drive to Portland yesterday. So she wouldn’t be alone, I volunteered to join her. We had driven past Detroit Dam and were just entering the City of Gates when out of nowhere in an extremely out of place area, a pure white dove flew and landed on a post next to the road. Here we were in the forest, in the mountains no less. I could expect morning doves or pigeons, but a pure white dove? How is this possible?

It was a sign from You, Father, a blessing of great proportions after such a dark dream. Thank You! 

Jesus:  “I am here, Erin. My voice is in you. I will not leave you. I must say this to you because before you even speak I know your thoughts.”

Me:  “Are You there, Lord?”

Jesus:  “And I answer, I am here, Erin. Your first thought is always wondering if I have left you. Unless you talk to Me, I often remain quiet unless there is urgency.”

Me:  “I’m boring, Lord.”

Jesus:  “Speak life, Erin. You are quiet. It’s okay to talk to Me and bring Me all of your troubles. I’m here.”

Me:  “I love You, Lord. I’m sorry that I’m quiet.”

Jesus:  “The enemy tries to strip you of peace and joy, Erin. Just because you are quiet in words doesn’t mean your body and spirit are at peace. I know your thoughts. You’ve let your words be few and your thoughts be many. The key here is peace and joy. I delight in your laughter and your smile moves me to smile. 

“Now, your wounds from the battle will heal. The impact was hard and your body reacted to preserve your area of weakness and protect your bones. Because you are experiencing pain, you have fallen into depression. I’m here, Erin, don’t give the enemy victory when you have already come out victorious. Don’t listen to the voices calling you back to old battlefields unless you plan on going back to fight again.”

Me:  “Oh no, definitely not. I don’t want to go backwards.”

Jesus:  “Then trust in Me. Let My voice be the voice saying, ‘This is the way, Erin, walk in this’. The last few weeks the enemy has worked overtime to breach your walls so stand firm and continue to fortify yourself against the enemy’s schemes. Prayer and fasting is truly like stones and mortar.”

Me:  “I never thought of it like that. Help me fortify, Lord.”

Jesus:  “I am here. I will. Call on Me and I will answer. You still feel unsettled because the home I have built for you has not been presented.”

Me:  “Why, Lord?”

Jesus:  “I promise you, in due season, you will delight in what I have done. In the meantime, put into practice prayer and patience. Do not worry, I am in this.”

Me:  “Thank You, Lord.”

Jesus:  “Now, your dream of the sickly hawk. In your dream, trouble had come unexpectedly to this area. It caused great destruction. Because the land didn’t turn to God in wisdom and repent and relied only on their own strength and understanding, it ended in the starvation of the soul. In this life, if you are pursuing things of the flesh, then your life with Me to be spiritually as one–starves. Starvation is lack of food and water–that which quenches–and both are life-giving. 

“Your daughter had an assignment she could not carry out where you were going, this is because God has been removed from the land. The enemy won the battle but not the war. Still there is spiritual hunger for truth and a deeper thirst for righteousness–but there is no God. The dream you had shows you the state of the area after the sparrows are removed and the sparrow hawk has none to feed upon. They are even stripped of mice–so it is grim. Pray.”

Me:  “Lord, Portland is ruled by Portlandia. Downtown seems so dark now. My daughter never felt called to hand out a Jesus mini figure.”

Jesus:  “Now do I really look like that? Just asking.”

Me:  “No, not at all…Well, maybe the hair.”

Jesus:  “Hmm. I sent you the white dove as a sign that My Spirit is upon you and you should not worry.”

Me:  “Lord, I’m relieved. I was worried that the starving hawk was me spiritually.”

Jesus:  “I would tell you. But to dismiss any doubt or worry, come to Me. I have many more things to share with you about what is to come. Now, that dream shows you what things look like when My Light, My Lamps, have been removed. With no prey, no sparrows, no Christians, they must feed off themselves to survive. There will be a void and darkness which will terrify those who turned–they knew Me but turned–these will need to go through an experience darker than any movie written or any imagination of man. My Spirit and Light will be removed.”

Me:  “I pray we have more time, Lord, if we can help the lost.”

Jesus:  “It will be like the days of Noah, Erin. It’s like this now in many nations. So, this is a good time to press into Me, in all you do. I am here. I will bless this time. You will have Spiritual Food for your soul and Living Water for your body and mind–this is good. Now, do not worry, your healing is coming.”

Me:  “Lord, can You help me? I keep having the number 26 coming up. I realize we are in the year 2026. My vivid vision with Enoch and Elijah was 26 years ago in 2000 and this was the year I became closer to You. It has showed up in my dreams lately and then also in the natural, not related to the year.”

Jesus:  “When a number continues to remain forward in your thoughts, visions and dreams, there is a reason. Because I am with you, there is good reason to take notice. Soon you will have revelation. Be at peace.”
