Dream 974 – Setting the Stage with Storms

Communion
Dear Father,
Thank You! Thank You for another day here! All things are in Your perfect time, not ours. You know every event. You govern over all things with eyes beyond our human understanding. You see us to the root of who we are. You don’t stop at our outward appearances to search us; You go beyond our flesh, beyond our muscles and tendons, beyond our blood and our bones. You go to the heart of who we are. You see us and search us to see if we are ready for what You would have for us here.
This last year and a half I have lost some of my childlike hope and wonder. My heart has been broken, even shattered to the point only You can repair it. All You ask of me is to surrender all that I am to You for Your purposes. I have also prayed for godly wisdom in all things under Your care. I find that under great stress I can be sharp beyond my years and able to focus on tasks You call me to. But if I don’t have enough rest, simple daily things become difficult. I find myself forgetting simple things like the pin number I have had for many years, or what day or even season it is. I forget to use my hearing aid and wonder why I can’t hear. The last few seasons have aged me. My self care falls short when I deny myself certain things which once brought me joy in favor of serving those who treat me horribly.
The decision to separate the household came at a huge cost. It was a difficult decision but I needed to be able to hear clearly from You, Father, to sleep in peace, rest and dream again. I’ve finally set up my old speakers to blast worship music through the house and make small decisions which are good.
My difficult son comes by everyday. Some days he seems happy and settling in to his new apartment, but others, like last night, was an outright attack. He revealed that he despises me. I had to look up the definition–it’s worse than hate. The enemy used his mouth to say such horrible things to me. My daughter heard and entered the room, but when she became a witness he changed his tune. My one son who I sacrificed so much fighting for, caring for and praying for “despises” me. He is angry that I wanted to be at peace in my older years and wanted my sons to be on their own to see what they are capable of. He won’t admit to his role in anything, he blames everyone else for his circumstances. My oldest son is excited and has prayed for his independence for years.
Father, please help. I’ve done everything humanly possible to assist but now it’s time for me to have some peace. I’ve prayed over and over for a larger home, but You reminded me that a larger home doesn’t fix an underlying heart issue. You, Father, welled up in me and took a difficult stand–a necessary and important one.
Please bless our course as I have surrendered all things to Your will. Please strengthen me for the difficult journey ahead. To all things be Your glory in Heaven and on Earth.
Night before last I had a beautiful dream. I needed it. I have been so worried about my state of affairs. The worrying made my heart sick. At prayer night last Thursday I began to cry uncontrollably. I didn’t go up for prayer. I saw so many others who looked like they needed physical healing. It was a matter of what I considered priority. I heard You say to me, “I am here, Erin. Tell me what is on your heart.” I took the Lord up on His offer.
Me: “Lord, I’m scared. I feel alone in this world. I’ve lost so much. I am unable to do much. Fill my empty cup, Lord. Even though it’s a cracked cup, please fill it. Don’t allow me to make foolish decisions but keep me sharp as I age. Don’t take Your favor from me. Without You I would have nothing. I long for You. Please bless me, Jesus!”
As I prayed I heard Your voice say, “Consider the lilies, child.” I kept hearing this throughout each day, since Thursday, “Consider the lilies”.
Sub-dream 1 “Consider the Lilies” begins…
I was in a beautiful garden. Think of the most beautiful garden you have ever seen and magnify this times ten or more. I was clearly in God’s garden in Heaven. I was walking along a flagstone path–the stones were perfectly cut with precision. They were made perfectly level hewed–the term is dressed. As I stepped there were messages–promises–from God to me specifically etched in each stone. When I looked behind me as I passed, only light remained.
Where my foot stepped the promise appeared. I decided to walk faster to see if these messages would appear at the same time. They did. I laughed. No matter what I did I could not outrun His promises in my life. Even when I tried to step ahead faster than I could read them. They were etched in the stone path. There was a small beautiful gold dust path to my right that I decided to travel on. I could see it led to an incredible pond.
The pond had three beautiful spouts of water coming from it, but it wasn’t springing forth from a machine pump, instead they were natural fountains springing upward. The area around the pond had a short green variety of moss but it was soft and met the edge of the pond. In the moss were short-stemmed white and pink flowers which appeared in a polka dot pattern against the green blanket. There was a beautiful weeping willow tree which was flowering so I went to sit under it to take in all that was around me. I smiled as there were beautiful water lilies on the pond, one of my favorite flowers.
I spoke, “Father, do water lilies count to consider?”
I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was the funny angel. He sat next to me.
Angel: “Incredible isn’t it?”
Me: “Yes, amazing. I forget all my troubles here. It’s beautiful. God is such an amazing Father! Oh, by the way, you were right, a storm is here.”
Angel: “It is more than a storm, Erin. Just remember, God is in you. He is in the midst of the storm–one could say there is no storm like the One who wields the storm itself.”
Me: “So the storm is in me? I sure feel it.”
Angel: “Understood. What I’m referring to is that which you cannot control. But God in You can calm it. He can move it up, down, right or left. The enemy knows God is with you so remain in Him, abide in Him and wait on Him. He is setting the stage right now. News can be discouraging depending on the source.”
Me: “There is a lot of bad news right now.”
Angel: “Yes there is but know this, look around you. This is waiting for you here. All your favorite joys amplified. When the Lord says to you, ‘Erin, consider the lilies’, He is saying to stop worrying about how you will provide or pay for this or that. The Lord in you knows what you need before you even ask. He knows you have taken great losses because He is with you. He sees it. Don’t question what God has done here by saying, ‘If only I had stayed a slave in Egypt. I had food, clothing, and a roof over my head’. The Lord provided a house for you. It is within your means. The Lord also knows you are caring for your sons with what little you are able. Had the Lord not moved you, then these sons would not have been able to see what they are capable of. Your one son is happy. The other… for your sake the Lord has shown restraint.”
Me: “I made things too comfortable.”
Angel: “I was here too. All of the angels asked God if they could appear to him to, you know, shake him up a bit. But God said He has a great plan so we obeyed and were glad. One of the angels had his sword drawn. I regress, let’s discuss the lilies.”
Me: “These are so stunning.”
Angel: “Erin, look at everything God has created here. Flowers springing up from the grass. Fountains springing from below the pond. Nothing here is man-made. You are important to God. He loves you. He created you. He sent angels concerning you to guard you in all you do. He is not going to let you fall, starve or go homeless. This is a plan of the enemy though. Your son is easy for them to weaponize against you. But don’t receive it. Lies spew forth like springs from the heart. He hasn’t seen his miracle so it is easy to cast blame on you for everything. Pray for him but you are not responsible for his choices. Remember.
“Now, God is about to increase your faith weapons. Your arsenal will be increased. You will not lack. Be encouraged and remember the lilies, Erin. Do not forget, they have not dressed themselves so trust in God to continue to care for you. Come on, walk with me. Take my sleeve.”
I reached over to hold his tunic. Instantly we were on a beautiful overlook. There were fields and fields of flowers over a vast valley. Surrounding the fields were orchards of fruit trees and above the orchards were vineyards. It was one of the most beautiful sights I had ever seen. I could see estate homes dotting the area.
Me: “This is incredible! It’s literally taking my breath away.”
Angel: “You’ve been here before, see?”
He pointed to the river with the seven pools. Tears began to stream down my cheeks.
Me: “It’s been so long.”
Angel: “Erin, look.”
He pointed out toward the fields and there on a white horse was the Lord! I jumped up and down and waved. He waved at me.
Sub-dream 1 over…
Lord, thank You for the reminder in Your Word about lilies.
Matthew 6:25-34
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
I’m sorry, Father. I love You.
Jesus: “I am here, Erin. I am with you. Do not be afraid or anxious. There is a storm coming but I am in this storm.”
Me: “Lord, I feel it in my heart. Trouble looms, especially after the election.”
Jesus: “I come with the Sword of Truth. Evil does not prevail here. The victory is Mine. Now, the nations have turned their hearts against Israel. There are lines being drawn and armies fortified. Fire from the heavens will rain down upon the land. A brutal war is coming quickly. Israel will be attacked but the nations to the north are distracted by chaos. Each nation tends to their own wars within rather than against Israel. The strategy is to act quickly in the darkest of night so the enemy is caught unaware. The evil land has used another nation as proxy to launch a surprise attack. The evil brotherhood have called for the destruction of Israel and the U.S., but with the U.S. they have quietly deceived and overthrown the governing bodies.”
Me: “Elections?”
Jesus: “Yes, but this time they have become more clever and this has been ordered by China and Iran. But I see it and I will expose all of this evil. In the meantime, be wise. Continue to bless others and I will bless you with abundantly more, do not be afraid. I have you.
“Now, your son is like a yearling, a young buck driven off by the mother to learn to forage for himself. Weaning from the mother’s provision is a difficult thing, especially after the times of the plague when whole families stayed home together. But it has been a few years now.”
Me: “I remember when we hit a yearling and I stayed with it to comfort it before its last breath.”
Jesus: “Yes, what was told to you?”
Me: “The officer told us that the young yearlings become scared and confused and often forget what was taught to them and run into traffic before they make it to the banks of the river. He said he would see at least one to two per day for about a month.”
Jesus: “Yes, this is sad but a necessary practice for the herd, for the survival of future generations. That yearling grows and survives to make his own way.”
Me: “Lord, do You help?”
Jesus: “Of course. So, I am saying he is scared and not of his right mind.”
Me: “Could You heal him? Or send him means?”
Jesus: “I know what you need. I am a big God and My Father owns the cattle on a thousand hills. You are My Bride so this, too, is yours.”
Me: “Lord, was our election stolen?”
Jesus: “Yes, within and without, but no one dares speak it. Do not worry. Remember Haman, the gallows he built were for Mordecai but instead he and his heirs were the recipients of the very evil planned to exterminate all of Israel. Do not worry, I am here. I am in the storm. Understand? Pray, Erin. I have you. Pray for Israel. God has not removed His promises of favor, so pray.”
