COVERED WITH THE BLOOD AND STANDING ON THE ROCK

Views: 209

A couple of days ago I dreamt that I was caught in the middle of a battle. I took cover in a bathtub. There was a Baby (Small Child) nearby and the incoming fire struck the Child and as the Child fell into the tub on top of me giving me additional cover, I was covered in Its Blood. 

When that battle was over, I sought for a way to remove myself from the area of the engagement. I was presented with two means of escape. There was a grade level route that seemed fine, and a way that called for standing on a Rock and for help. 

I heard a voice saying that I should stand on the Rock as that would be the safer way and so I did. 

So, let me ask you, is this not a very gracious thing for the Lord to do in showing me how that His Son had endured my pain and shed His Blood to cover me from danger as I lay there is His Manger. Further my protection is ensured when I chose to stand on the Rock of His Salvation. 

For me this is over the top encouragement! 

Get Out Now!

Last week about this time I was right in the middle of a Healing and Deliverance class in Durban, South Africa. Instruction was being given regarding casting out devils and commanding bodies to be healed and made whole in the name of Jesus Christ.
Healing and Deliverance Ministry should be available in every Christian Church inclusive of the work being done outside of the local Assembly.
The instructor Val Wolff posted some pictures and so I am inserting them below. That’s me in the blue shirt.

 

 

SNAKES (serpents)

Views: 174

The snake (serpent) or reptiles in general is probably the most prominent symbol representing the devil, Satan the adversary. The devil hates God and he hates us. In his mind there is no atrocity too harsh to be inflicted upon mankind. It has been this way since the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.

My guess is that when the Satan heard the Father give dominion over the earth and everything herein to mankind he flew off into a rage from which he has not, nor shall recover.

It is not nearly as widely known as it aught to be that the devil was crippled by the events of Calvary and that the victory that we (believers and those destined to salvation) have because of the same, renders his works destroyed by the invoking of the name and authority of Jesus Christ.

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)

The problem is that the situation  is akin to one having a bank account that is chalked full  of money but not knowing that the funds are there and ready for use. So too is our situation in the world today not knowing that sickness, premature death, poverty, oppression, depression or any thing that diminishes or cause the quality of our lives to be anything other than perfect are illegal conditions (works of the devil) that need only to be rebuked and caste out in the name of and by the authority of Jesus Christ.

Speaking of serpents or “that old serpent“, I’m going to tell you a story about an encounter in my life a few years ago that is yes, inclusive of a dream. You will love this story.

Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? (Genesis 3:1)

I wrote this down in February of 2004. “For a few weeks now I have had some discomfort in my right shoulder. Initially I thought it was due to some lifting while moving furniture. After having the discomfort for some time I had a dream in which it was revealed to me that there was a serpent attached to my shoulder and it was revealed also that the serpent would have to release the hold.”

Well about ten days subsequent to having had the dream I heard the Lord say in a dream “loose him.” The discomfort didn’t immediately subside but I knew that it would because I had heard the Lord command that it be so.

Do know that I had my shoulder looked in the meantime by an orthopedic doctor. I thought that there was a chance of perhaps a rotator cuff  tear — but wasn’t the case. Seeing a doctor while waiting to be healed is probably an excellent idea as sometimes that where the Lord has arranged for the healing to be.

About eight years later, one day on the way to church, I asked the Lord to move on the Pastor to pray for the sick as part of the service. The Pastor did in fact pray for the sick that day. He asked that everyone that had sickness or discomfort in their body stand and that all of the people positioned near them to lay hands on them while he prayed. I, of course, was one of those receiving prayer. I had no more discomfort in my shoulder after perhaps three or four days. Nor since.

 

 

ANGELS at the AIRPORT

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (Hebrews 13:2).

But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?  Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (Hebrews 1:13-14)

In a previous post to which I will insert a link at the end of this one, I tell you about a dream that I had about ten years ago in which the manifestation is contemporary.

I tell you about a friend that I call Daniel who is working on a residential development in the DRC (Congo, Africa). Detail of the project were revealed to me in much detail in the dream.

Before Daniel and I departed from each other after having lunch as referenced in the previous post I prayed for him a prayer of exhortation, protection, grace and favor in the name of Jesus Christ.

Well Daniel left last weekend to return to the Congo but did called me from the airport to  tie up a loose end dealing with a detail that I shared with him as I saw it in the dream that conflicted with the plans that he had shown me.

I literally told him that the detail wasn’t what I saw and probably would be changed. He told me that since we spoke last that detail had in fact been changed. When God shows you something in a dream it becomes as faith. So we walk by it, not by the apparent reality of things.

I know, you are probably saying by now “I thought he said something about angels”. Well I did.

In my conversation with Daniel when he called me from the airport he was excited to tell me about something that happened. Apparently he arrived late for his flight at RDU and the lines were long. He said that he expressed to security that he was concerned about missing his flight and queried him as to a way to have his check-in expedited.

Security was no help and told him that he had to wait for his turn. By then, standers-by had noticed his concern. He said that one particular gentleman indicated that his wife could help and that he would call her, in which he did.

He asked Daniel to walk with him down to where his wife was, apparently way closer to the front of the line. He said that once in place with the lady (wife) he looked for the gentleman and had did not see him anymore. By now the security person was down by where he was in the new place in line and told him that he would have to return to his place near the back of the line.

At that time, the lady spoke up and said that Daniel was with her party. The way I understand the story is that this satisfied the security person monetarily. It appears though that when the security person checked in on him again the lady (man’s telephone wife) was now no where to be seen.

By now, I knew exactly what had happened (when you walk in the Spirit, you expect to see the Supernatural happen). Still, though, what to do? Well, this time yet another couple spoke up and said that Daniel was with them.

Long story short, the airport that Daniel called me from was the connecting airport. The Angels had run interference for him at RDU. Having the Angels minister to/for him was likely part of what I prayed for him when we met for lunch.

We should always pray that the Lord will have the Angels to help us out in a time of need:

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.  (Luke 4:9-11)

Now, to read that exciting dream, go here.

 

 

SET THE CAPTIVES FREE

On October 10, 2002 I dreamed that I was in a setting with a group of people when suddenly a big Rottweiler dog came and grabbed a baby and began to shake it violently. I rebuked it and commanded it to let the baby go and so it did.

Most of the other people there were terrified. Then the dog grabbed the head — yes head. Now it didn’t have a body. I rebuked the dog again and commanded that it loose the head and so it did and began to squirm away.

Interestingly as the dog passed by me and its hinder part became visible to me I could see that the rear part of its body was crippled. It was literally dragging the back half of its body on the ground. It put on the vicious front appearance. Boy did it look intimidating! A clear example of all bark and no bite.

The interpretation of this dream has to do with some events that happened at a Church that I once attended. The baby was the church. The baby’s head was the Pastor. The Rottweiler was the demonic church doctrine of the overseeing church.

Things did not end well.

I KNOW FOR SURE! A DREAM COME TRUE

Views: 628

About ten years ago I had a dream about a fellow that attended the same Church that I attended. Let’s call him Daniel.

In the dream I saw Daniel in Africa. Africa is his home continent. I saw him entering a compound (generally, a group of homes or living quarters that are grouped together with a boundary or fence around them). Compounds are known to be common in Africa.

The impression upon my head was that he was someone of some, if not great renown. I saw that he entered the compound from the north. I saw an ingress/egress on the south side of the complex that was directly across from the north side entrance.The compound was rectangular in shape with a west to east length that was double or more the width. The property slopped down from the west to the east and there was a stream that ran parallel to the east end of it.

Daniel entered near the eastern end of the compound. There entered with him his entourage.They proceeded to what I saw as the living quarters for Daniel and his group. Said quarters were found about three-quarters down on the south side of the compound.

I was impressed also that there was an element of evil associated with the stream or that was to approach from the east side of the compound.

The dream of long ago was over. At some time reasonably close to the time of the dream I shared it with Daniel.

That was ten-or-so years ago. Fast forward to now. About three weeks ago I received a call from Daniels’ wife. Let’s call her Tiffany. Tiffany and I use to work with the same company, and she needed some industry related hep.

During our conversation, I asked her how Daniel was doing. She said to me that he was fine and that he was currently in Congo (The Democratic Republic of Congo). She said that he was working on a project there.

The thought of the dream that I had long ago about him being in Africa came to mind at once so I asked her if he had mentioned the dream to her. She said no, so I went ahead and told her the dream.

As I began to tell her the dream, she listened attentively but stopped me abruptly and asked me to wait while she got something to write with. She told me that what I had just told her and how I described the setting exactly described a new gated housing development that Daniel was working on. We were both very excited that the Lord was revealing to us that He was/is playing a part in the matter.

I asked her to have him to call me so that we could catch up and, of course, further discuss the dream and get further at what God is doing. About two weeks after my conversation with Tiffany, Daniel returned to the states and called me. We arranged to have lunch for the following week.

Prior to meeting with the Daniel, the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and anointed me for the meeting. I was impressed to attend to first things first and needed to clarify with Daniel as to why the Lord was doing what he was doing. I knew it was about Kingdom Business and pertaining to Daniel’s calling or ministry, so I asked him what his ministry is.

While I feel that he was pretty sure about how God intends to use him he said that he wasn’t sure. I told him that I felt led to tell him about how God would use him and cautioned him to seek further confirmation from the Lord. I told him that he is to be a giver and more specifically a giver that will be used to fund Churches. But not in an ordinary way. I told him that his checks were to be in the $100,000 to $1,000,000 category. That just as an example.

By now Daniel is recording this Prophetic Utterance that is coming from On High on his iPhone. I advised Daniel that it is important to remember that this whole process is about God and that God only is to receive the Glory. I advised him as to his responsibility to discern what is and what isn’t good ground as he sews into Kingdom Work — that he should look for people, who like him, has a heart after the Lord.

It was about then that I asked him if I could borrow a pen. I wanted to sketch out what I saw in the dream to present it to him. I had already described it to him verbally. Once I completed the sketch (on a paper towel) and showed it to him, he reached for his Residential Development Grid Design Map (a layout of his plans) and it was for the most part exactly as I had described and drawn.

He felt strongly that he should keep the paper towel drawing and that it should be framed along with his official plan.

So why is God orchestrating these events like this? Well, one of the things that Daniel brought up was that he felt as if the Lord didn’t want him to borrow money in order to complete the subdivision. By the way, the home that are to be built are to be like those that are built here in the USA with prices apparently starting at about $400,000.

I know that God has done at least two things here. Daniel knows that the Lord has his eyes on him and he should be assured that he needn’t be concern about funding of the project as the Most High will see that funding is done. I admonished him that he should move forward with all confidence and told him, that his bank account has the backing of Heaven. Pretty sure that that was the Holy Spirit talking.

As for me, the dreamer, the Lord has recently given me some instructions and some mandates. He has shown me some visions of some of the things that I must needs to do. By allowing me to participate in this Word of Wisdom, Exhortation and Prophecy toward Daniel and having shown me these things to come ten years in advance I am given a gentle nudge and great assurance that I should move forward with my assignment doubting nothing.

 

 

 

 

FLIGHT 3407

Views: 572

Back in early 2009 as we talked in the barber shop one of the barbers asked me if I had had any dreams lately. They know me to be a dreamer. Dreamers like discussing dreams and never miss an opportunity. I had had dream discussions with those people before.  

I responded to Harry (not his real name) that I had just had a dream that week in which I had seen an airplane crash (an airplane that had crashed).  

In the dream, in the Spirit, I came upon this crashed airplane from behind while it was still smoldering, and I could clearly see the tail section identically as it appears later in the news photos/videos. You will see the video that I will link to this post.  

I told this dream on one day and was able to boast on my next visit to the barber shop about how it had happened. 

What I have found is that it is so easy to pridefully boast and tell dreams to folks in anticipation that they would come true (and sometimes this is ok) but the real reason that God gives us a dream in the first place is so that we can get Him involved in it by praying and giving Him authority to intervene. Besides, you know what they say about pride! (Proverbs 16:18)

I have found that God has a way of revealing to us how He appreciates our obedience in this. Let me say this again; whenever you or I have a dream the first and most important things we should/can do is PRAY!! 

Here is a story.
