DESTROY THE GIANT

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

In this dream, I was traveling to an event carrying a correspondence portfolio. Timely delivery of the same was essential. 

As I traveled by foot, the trip was mostly uneventful. One thing of note though was that I saw a giant driving a car. He drove the car into the river. So, I thought so much for the giant and continued traveling to the destination.  

As it had gotten dark and as I entered a turn in the road, I saw the giant standing in the midst ahead of me. The thought that occurred to me was “the giant must be killed.” The dream was over. 

Just as David had a giant or two in his life, we all have giants occasionally that must be dealt with.

KILL THE HEAD! (CRACK HIS KNOGGIN)

Right around the middle of this month I dreamed that I was venturing around (in the sky) when I began to approach three demons. They were a family of sorts attached in a web; like that of a spider. The head demon and the fiercest looking one was at the top of their triangle-like formation.

I hate demons, so I headed in their direction to check them out. When they saw me coming the two demons that were at the bottom of the formation peeled off leaving the head guy alone.

Now our pattern from the Bible for dealing with demons is clear as Jesus always confronted them head on. A few examples are: 1. in Mark chapter one vs. 23-27 he cast a demon out of a man in the Synagogue in Capernaum.

2. Matthew, Mark, and Luke document the Lord casting out a legion of demons from the demoniac who lived among the tombs of Gerasene and yet another details Jesus casting a demon out of a Greek woman’s daughter after her much insisting. This from Matthew15 and Mark 7. There are also other accounts.

Back to the story. I made a beeline toward the remaining demon and began to batter it on the head with my weapon, a Sword (Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God). I struck at that head until it was all broken. I had crushed the crown of its’ skull. The demon was destroyed and drifting away into the distance. How is that for manifold wisdom?

I looked around for the rest of its party, but they were clean out of sight!

YOU ARE THE POLICE!

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 110

On 05/25/2021 I dreamt that when I returned home one night, there were three intruders there. A fight ensued. I fought them off with a sword injuring them and forcing them outside. 

As I continued to fend them off, I shouted to standers by to “call the police.” I shouted this several times. The dream was over. 

As I pondered “what means this Lord?” I felt the Lord saying, “YOU ARE THE POLICE.” 

So, what does it mean? I instantly understood that the dream was a friendly reminder about Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:” 

This we do when wrestling with principalities and powers. 

Further, Ephesians 3:10 says that the manifold wisdom of God is to be made known unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places by the church. 

 Lastly, Luke 9:1-2 says “Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.” The King of Heaven authorizes us (The Church) keep the peace on earth “as it is in Heaven.”

Militia Man

In this dream I had somehow become a member of some sort of militia (all able-bodied civilians eligible by law for military service) organization.  

I was given one of the kind of trucks that we see on television that has a machine gun mounted on top (in the truck bed) of the truck. I was not given a first assignment but when I got a late start on the first day, I found out that I had missed it. It was a practical exercise of blasting buildings.  

Upon closer examination, I found that there had been a note left in the truck telling me of yet another exercise, but, too late! I had missed it.  

The following day, I was driving around town in the weaponized unit and noticed that there were other similar vehicles being driven by folks who had been given assignments as I had to protect the citizens. There was a person going with me.  

As we drove about, I noticed an object in the nearby sky. It was a satellite type of thing. I thought to impress my rider by shooting the object out of the sky and did so.  

It turned out that the object that I shot from the sky was a useful one and should have been left alone.  

I now think it to be important that I be diligent to check with the Authority for assignments. This would cause me to be in harmony with the other militiamen and to do a better job of protecting the citizenry.  

In considering the interpretation of this dream, I sought for a scriptural passage that could apply and was led to this one. “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8 KJV).

The Five Most Important Dreams, Ever!

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 260

The earth has likely been around for eons. The earth in her current state is about six thousand years old. Chapter one of the book of Genesis  in the Bible tells of what is commonly referred to as The Creation. A better way to describe what occurred is a restoration as a careful study shows that what is conveyed is that the earth became “void and without form”.

The Bible tells us that at the time of the most recent restoration of the earth that God found it to be a ball of water existing in complete darkness somewhere out in the universe. We know that the devil was already in the earth as he showed up shortly after the creation of Adam and Eve to beguile them. In little or no time, he had had become the ruler of the earth.

Adam and Eve had handed over to the devil that which belonged to the Lord. This had to be undone. What to do? Man was found to be unreliable so God started the process of doing it Himself.

Even so, God had to work through man because of the way He set the world up – giving man dominion and all. So, just as He had restored the earth by voice command (Utterance) he set about regaining control by speaking. He spoke through man. But, more was needed.

Using mortal man was helpful to God in in moving closer to coming back into ownership and management of His property the earth. Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses and the prophets are examples.

Operating in the earth in a legal fashion, as a man, required a more robust strategy. He had to become a man. These five all important dreams laid the groundwork:

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:20).

And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. (Matthew 2:12-13).

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life. (Matthew 2:19-20).

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. (Matthew 2:22-23).

Why all the drama? Well, God knew that He couldn’t just send the Saviour into the world without getting some pushback from the devil. Because … from the beginning, it was known that the intent of the devil was to devour the Seed of the woman Who was to bruise his head.

Every precaution was necessary to protect the coming of He Who was to become the Anointed Saviour of the world. We see from the above scriptural passages how God through dreams advised Joseph that he should not concern himself with fidelity matters as they pertain to Mary and advised the wise men not to kowtow to Herod. He further advised Joseph to relocate to Egypt and await instructions the murderous intent of Herod.

God later directed Joseph to Israel and Galilee (Nazareth).

In theory without the referenced dreams salvation of all mankind would not be a thing.

BE KIND TO STRANGERS!

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 176

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

Last night I dreamt that we were visiting out of town to attend a stadium ball game. For some reason I had to leave the game and attend to an errand. 

The setting for the event was a large city. I was not familiar with the city and was having some difficulty finding my way back to the venue. 

As I made my way back, I encountered a person whose intent it was to rob me or do me harm otherwise. He had a gun. Somehow, I managed to get away from that person with the help of a stranger. 

Still trying to make my way back to the stadium and from the higher vantage point that I was at currently at, I could look downward and see it.    

As I travel on in the direction of the park, I spotted a church off to my right. I could hear that they were having praise and worship and I was impressed that their service was anointed. 

I would have liked to visit the church, but I needed to proceed to get back to my party at the game. The complex was not now visible from where I was but traveling in the perceived direction of the desired position I moved forward. 

I came upon a park-like location near where I expected the stadium to be and encountered an old man. He was the friendly sort and was just hanging out at that location. I was now disappointed as I thought for sure that I was close to the stadium complex, though I could not see it. 

Shortly thereafter another person that also was looking for the stadium appeared and was dumbfounded as was I. 

The old man, from whom pure love emanated, smiled at us, and pointed across the street and there was the stadium complex in all its Glory. Our eyes had been opened. 

What does it all mean? Long story short, the Lord is providing me with more assurance and encouragement pertaining to my relationship to the Local Assembly (the Church) and is showing me how that I will from time to time need to travel from the Assembly to other locations and will experience resistance and danger but will have the ever-present Wisdom of the Holy Spirit and protection of the Angels. 

That I will experience other Churches of like precious  faith  during my travels and shall be encouraged by the same. That there will be times when I will not clearly see a sure victory or that thing which I hope for and must rely upon Faith to walk by rather than sight. 

I love and praise God for sharing with me!!!

The Devil, The Church, The Holy Spirit & Me

On 11/27/2018 I had a three-part dream. I dreamt that there was a visitor at our house. He was initially received as an ordinary guest. 

Soon thereafter, I noticed him observing a female child with great interest as she took a shower. I admonished him for doing so and requested that he move on, and so he did. This was part one of the dream. 

In part two of the dream, I observed our guest again watching intently as the young girl took a shower. This time I advise the visitor that he was to leave the premises immediately and never to return. 

In part three of the dream, I observed two men from my vantage point on a second level balcony arriving in a pickup truck down below. They had come to retrieve a bucket that I had prepared for them. I must tell you that preparation of the bucket required some welding. 

As I grabbed the bucket that was full of water from the counter and proceeded to carry it out to them, I noticed that there was water leaking from it through a hole that was about the size of a quarter. 

I was disturbed that the bucket was leaking and knew that I could not deliver it to the men in that condition. As I pondered the situation, the dream was over. 

While it is reasonable to assume that this dream has some application pertaining to my own life, let me tell you what I believe the Holy Spirit would have me share with you regarding it. 

The young girl is the Church. The visitor is the devil. Looks like I am standing in as a leader in the Church and have done a poor job of teaching the laity regarding the Holy Spirit. Instead of Him (The Holy Spirit) overflowing the bucket, His Power is being diminished by the breech in the bottom of the bucket. 

This phenomenon of the enemy creeping in unawares is widespread and residual damage could remain after he has been dealt with. Continuous vigilance is imperative.

Danger Ahead

The Lord often gives us dreams showing impending danger. The first dream of this nature in the bible is one that a nice person by the name of Abimelech had. 

He had found Abraham’s wife Sarah to be quite attractive and since Abraham had falsely said that she was his sister (this was partially true, as Abraham and Sarah had the same father). Abimelech sent and took Sarah. She was Abraham’s wife though. 

That night God came to him in dream and said “Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.” Now Abimelech had not gone into Sarah because God did not allow it and was able to return her to Abraham and to save his life. The repercussions of a violation by Abimelech would have been catastrophic not only because Abimelech would have died but also the harm that would have come to his country. You can find this fascinating story here. 

Several years ago, a couple, friends of mine, were planning a move to a location in which job opportunities would be better for them. They are both MBA’s. 

A job opportunity for them became available in New York. They started talking about it and making plans to move there. 

While this was happening, the Lord spoke to me in a dream regarding them saying just one word, “Chicago“. I advised them of what God had said suggested that their purpose was to be in Chicago rather than New York. 

Almost immediately they got job offers from Chicago. They moved to Chicago and are still there ten years later. 

Last week I had recurring dreams (doubled). It was about a friend that I went to school with many years ago. We have not been in recent contact but were good friends.  

You have heard me say in the past that when I dream about someone that I know or someone that I do not know (sometimes God just gives me a name) I realize that the Lord wants me to pray for that person. 

I have prayed for him. I took it a step further and tried calling him using a number that I got off the internet. I left a message and hope that he calls me back. I will bet you 25 cents that he has been going through something and the Lord needed someone in the earth to pray and give Him permission to intercede.  

I will be able to assure him the God is concerned about him and has handled the situation; whatever it was! 

If you have a dream that includes sad news, take it to the Lord and give Him permission to re-write the script.

FLIGHT 3407

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.
