Okay. Here's how this works. I will put a vision out there that God gave me, and then you each comment with ones of your own. All right? Good! Here goes...
I was praying for the needs in our family and I saw in the Spirit a garden full of what I knew to be cacti. Each cactus had a very large white flower with waxy leaves. The garden was waiting for rain, and although the flowers looked healthy, it had been a long time since it rained.
Then I looked up, and I realized why they were not getting the rain. Amazingly, there were buzzards flying about the plot of land and they somehow managed to swallow each drop of rain before it hit the ground and nourished the plants.
I asked the Lord what the name of these ugly buzzards were. I saw one fly by and it had the word: EMBARRASSMENT written on it. I saw another fly by, and it had the word DILIGENCE.
At this point I asked the Lord if we had not been diligent enough to receive the rain, and He told me that no, it was not lack of diligence, amazingly, but the belief that diligence was needed for rain was actually eating up the rain!
I have a feeling that there are more buzzard with names on them, things we need to view with God's TRUTH...What does the Lord show you about this? I really want to know.
One more note. A few days after I had this vision, I was again in the Spirit in prayer. I saw the same big white beautiful waxy flowers. But this time I had a new understanding. The plants were not cacti after all. They were lily pads, and this time I saw the floating in clear pure water. In fact, in my vision, there was water everywhere, dripping off of every leaf and surrounding me as I looked at the flowers. There was such a life to this water. It was not only pure, it was living and alive.
If you haven't noticed, one of the reasons we decided to ask for prayer support and fasting was to change our minds about the "embarrassment" of the situation. This website is an attempt to be honest and open about our needs, "despising the shame..."

Hannah had a dream that all of you kids played this game. You had special large light-up medallions that hung around your necks, and periodically demons would come in with their specialized sensor sweeper tools, trying to find the medallions and steal them.
ReplyDeleteThe little kids didn't know how to hide them very well, so the demons would mock them as they found them immediately after entering their rooms.
But Micah and Hannah could hide them much better. The biggest kids were very skilled at hiding their medallions, and it would be quite the hunt. The problem was that the demons would still find them and confiscate them every time, even though they were better hidden.
After waking and being distressed about this dream, the Lord showed Jerusha and Hannah that the glowing medallions represented each person's personal hopes and dreams.
What do you think about this? What can be done??
Hannah had a dream this summer about a bad guy. Dad said he was a bad guy, so we went into his house and stole from him. Hannah was thinking all the time "He's smart, so he's not going to let us get away with this!" She was very disturbed and afraid, but no one else seemed to sense any danger. They just looked at it that he was bad and the right thing was to take his stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut, of course, the bad man came after the family. He wanted revenge. He got back what was stolen and shot dad in a gun fight. Then Hannah was running and hiding from him and she got a call from Jerusha. Jerusha was crying, saying the bad man had put her in prison!
And then she woke up.
One of the interpretations of this dream was that we had nonchalantly put Hannah in Spring Basketball, assuming that because the Lord was asking us to do this, there would be provision for all the driving to Salem, etc. We had underestimated that this was a new foray into a spiritual realm and, as such, was opening us up to new repercussions.
Hannah, Dad, and I confessed this and prayed for protection/ wisdom.
What do you think? How can we do this better in the future? Is there any other meaning you see for us???

I had a dream last night.
ReplyDeleteIt was set in the church sanctuary, there was a older, bald man who really didn't like like kids that much but made his living by hosting fun kid camps. He was intimately involved with these camps but he also oversaw them with the help of his female secretary.
The main attraction here was several skits where one female helper at the camp would be being chased by a male helper and the bald man would save her. The kids would then pay for autographs of the bald man.
When they were done with their camp, and the bald man was leaving I shouted at him to take care of his secretary because she had saved the show many times (I was kind of the go between for the carnival people and Uncle Mitch/ church people). He told that he would and that maybe he had a spot on his team for me. I said that I would have to see because I am was a computer science major and I might need to do stuff elsewhere.
When they came back I was on their team and I talked to the male helper that did the chasing he offered to switch positions with me I looked at him and immediately recognized that he didn't love kids either so I switched with him. During the skit I was flying (attached to strings) above the kids. They I was chasing the girl before the bald man got on set but I changed things up and flung my self towards the girl (who was flying in some sort of contraption)and got stuck. I made it look like I died there and made all of the kids feel sorry for me.
The bald man came and talked to me about my stunt and I explained my plan he decided to let it play but reminded me that I was staking my job on this.
When the camp was over I "miraculously" came back to life and shocked all of the kids who then wanted my autograph and made lots of money for the bald man.
Then I awoke.
I the whole feel of the bald man's group was that of a carnival. They only cared about the money.
I also feel the uncle mitch was under deception from some of the people in the church who had invited the bald man.
"I looked at him and immediately recognized that he didn't love kids either so I switched with him."
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the crux of the vision to me.
You are helping these people for some seemingly noble reasons...but the bottom line is that Mitch is deceived, they are greedy and un-loving, and you shrewdly make money FOR this cause because the need presents itself, because it is your job, first with the church and later with them.
