Clinton taking risks

[heron]

All day yesterday God gave me a burden to pray for Secy. of State Clinton. This lasted more than the full 24 hours.

DREAM

At night, I had a dream that I was open-air camping on a slope outside my childhood home. I was stubborn about doing so, well aware of dangers. I had organized everything for sleeping out there, mostly just a blanket.

Suddenly I knew an attacker was after me, and I jumped up and ran. I heard a voice (angel??) saying I needed to get the knife from the kitchen to protect me, and had an internal reminder that I usually carried the knife, but was behaving too invincible to think I needed it.

I saw the small form of the square red attacker came around from behind the garage and I knew he would overtake me if I didn't run immediately. I was panting and using all my strength, and felt it was a matter of seconds.
​

ASSESSMENT

At first I assumed the dream was for me, about stubbornness in choices and refusal to face dangers. In real life I needed to go outside, and I wondered if God was warning me about an intruder outside, so I made the dog come with me. (The dog woke me up mid-dream... she must pay.)

While the red warning symbol is in so many dreams here at CF, I don't remember every seeing it in my own dreams. The pure bright red was the only color in that portion of the dream, unless the blanket was brown (childhood army blanket greenish brown).

The knife was unclear, but I considered that if the dream applied to myself, it was about bringing the Word of God into certain risky endeavours. If for Clinton, this might parallel with other documentation -- treaties, or typical US procedures. Or getting US military involvement prepared.

I prayed about whether the dream was just a brain thing, or tied in with the prayer burden, and I felt God wanted me to explore that option.

NEWS

H. Clinton is still in negotiations, and will soon head to Africa. She urged Iran to release political prisoners; called Zelaya reckless; praised Britain for their softer approach to mercenary Taliban (not fundamentalist); made efforts to work with China on nuclear, economic, climate change, and terrorism.

The childhood home could have been DC or Britain (returning to long-distant family home that I no longer consider my own).

Camping unsheltered and unprotected on a steep slope with vegetation -- taking risks, going out there in negotiations instead of staying in DC where it's safe. Making controversial statements.

In my spirit, the red attacker brought Central America to mind, but I am not certain of this.

SPIRITUAL CONNECTIONS

The verse that stood out for me this morning was Joseph's "God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

​

The US administration and other world leaders see the years of famine ahead, as Joseph did. The negotiation tour is about preparing and preventing as much disaster as possible.

Heavenly Father, give Clinton and other leaders wisdom, restraint, and protection as they go out and take risks among world leaders. Guard her words, and tone the reactions to controversial statements. May Your perfect will be done. Protect and meet the needs of the citizens in each country involved.
​

I am not looking for an opinion on whether this dream was about me or someone else. I hope that as Christians, a few of you will join in prayer support over our countries' futures. Anyone is welcome to add other insights on symbolism, news links, and written prayers.

Not going to give opinions: just reading and contemplating what you've written. Will join you in prayers. I have to be reminded to pray in the positive for this administration I'm so strongly against much of what they stand for.

Thanks for reminding me!

PEACE,

Thanks, guys!

I think that might be one reason God is reminding us to pray -- because Christians have such strong political opinions these days, we might be neglecting to pray for leaders when we don't agree with them. But our futures are in their hands, so it's a good thing to stay involved.

Thanks for being mature, and both praying.

‘Heroic’ missions put Team Clinton on top - Times Online



‘Heroic’ missions put Team Clinton on top

A LITTLE more than a year ago, the American tabloids were in no doubt: Barack Obama had derailed the Hillary Clinton juggernaut, and Bill’n’Hill were heading for divorce. “Why on earth would she stay with him now?” one bemused online columnist wondered after Obama’s victory in the Democratic presidential primaries.


Last week the doubters had their answer. The most gossiped about couple in American politics once again confounded their critics with a stunning diplomatic double act that erased a decade of disappointments and restored both Clintons to the glamorous forefront of global affairs.



...


A successful humanitarian mission to North Korea and an eye-catching diplomatic tour of Africa not only earned glowing praise for both the US secretary of state and her occasionally errant husband, they also created a potential problem for a president who, for once, was not at the centre of America’s attention.



...


Completing the couple’s double triumph was Hillary’s African odyssey. Unlike Obama, who managed less than 24 hours in Ghana on a visit last month to his father’s home continent, his secretary of state is touring seven countries in 11 days and has already made headlines for challenging the Kenyan government on corruption, meeting the struggling president of Somalia and dropping in on Nelson Mandela.



She continues this week to the Congo, where she will speak out about violence against women and will then attempt to bolster American influence in Nigeria, currently in electoral turmoil. “This is not a trip where she is going only to ‘good’ countries,” said Princeton Lyman, an Africa specialist at the Council on Foreign Relations.

 

[heron]

Thanks! Great information.

In reading my dream over again, the simple army blanket might have been significant (if it really was defined). I realized how odd it was that I camped on that slope, because it was about the only spot in the yard that my mother would tell us to keep off of when we were young, because she was trying to grow ground cover there.

Staying away to protect the growth attempt could relate to countries. (Since the US camps out just about anywhere they please.) I don't think that would pertain to Angola... maybe.

"Angola, tired of being criticized by the International Monetary Fund, broke off talks with the lender in 2004."

She was asked about the Chinese influence in Angola. "I'm not looking at what anyone else does in Angola, I'm looking at what the United States can do to further and deepen our relationship.

Hm, Dream Hillary clearly didn't take her husband camping. Maybe that ties in with the intruder around the corner and this story on dh -- N.Korea using Clinton visit 'to promote Kim's son' - Yahoo! News

Interesting story, I was not up on Angola.

Not much to say there, however. China is all over the place in Africa. Where I am concerned is how they have supported Sudan. This is because Sudan's government is so wicked and covered with decades of blood of innocent people murdered in deep, dark blasphemy against God.


While the US has important interests in Angola, I am more concerned about the poor of Angola.

The US having been so blessed by God has a responsibility to state such things about Angola and their poor, and they did so. I definitely like seeing that tradition continue, and have enjoyed the renewed and strong focus on Africa.

 

[heron]

Interesting story, I was not up on Angola.
You're behind, dearie -- that story was a good ten minutes old.

China is all over the place in Africa.
I wonder how much of that is just due to basic space and food needs for a large population. Even though it's corporate.

That is why I don't care, except with their backing of the Sudanese regime: or any other case where they use their influence to back malicious organizations there.

Why else would I not care.

In fact, the corruption of the Chinese regime disgusts me the most because of what it does to their own people.

China is not going anywhere...

They should be taking care of their own people.

On the subtopic of prayer requests:

That would be a good prayer request. See those nations that persecute Christians have Christianity be legal to practice and speak.

Except for North Korea which is going down soon that is a Islamist problem, from the way I see it.

So, they have to change and usually catastrophe is the way to force such change. Unfortunately.

China I do not see as being too bad in terms of persecuting Christians and banning it, though "Communist" in name. However, like the Soviet Union before them they do control a highly dysfunctional system which is running their poor into the ground. And their nation. So they turn to theft instead.

I am not one of those Christians who see a righteous life or an ignorant life as being different, ultimately. Nor one who thinks American lives are more valuable then some pagan whose parents were cursed by God to live in ignorance.

I would suggest praying for 'peace on earth', but don't see how that would be good for people right now considering how faithless they are.

The Lord did give me word China's regime will be changing.

As for Africa, I think we could pray the Sudanese government gets changed from the wickedness they are into, they have been commiting genocide in the name of God through the wicked lying doctrines of Islam against Christians and lately less religious Muslims in Darfur, as well as animists of the South.

In the Congo and elsewhere the despicable Hutus, the very cause of the horrific Rwandan genocide continue to cause problems. How can that be.

Was the west not already convicted for not standing by the precious genocide treaty over Rwanda?

Personally, however, I am praying most for Islamist nations to collapse, and China as well to repent.

Eventually, can't wait to see everyone repent everywhere.

Sadly, I do not see Islamist nations or China or North Korea and the wicked in the Free World to repent without something severe happening.


But as long as those people continue to stay to their evil, they are bringing judgment down on their own heads.

One solution might be spiritual horrors which could spare the righteous around them.


However, Islamist nations and Communist ones have corrupted their entire nations: it would be unfair for them to be allowed to continue without clear heavenly rebuke.


My two cents on prayer requests.

 

[heron]

That would be a good prayer request. See those nations that persecute Christians have Christianity be legal to practice and speak.

Thanks for the reminder. I tend to get overwhelmed with global prayer needs, but there's no reason I should. It is refreshing to see someone with detailed opinions and observations, treating countries as though they are your personal neighbors. All you need is a rocking chair and lemonade.

I consider all nations as vassal states under the dominion of Jesus Christ, who is the Lord God -- the same Lord God who walked with Adam and Eve and met Abraham face to face.

In a very imaginative way.

Oh, you're bad -- enticing, while resisting saying the wrong things publicly. Then I will just twiddle my fingers and wait for the new neighbors to move in.

I consider all nations as vassal states under the dominion of Jesus Christ, who is the Lord God -- the same Lord God who walked with Adam and Eve and met Abraham face to face.

I see all nations as self-determined territories with common human needs and equal potential for individuals' communion with God. But I sometimes forget how involved God already is in the activity of all nations (not just the individuals).

I have to draw attention somehow.

You know even unbelieving nations can be persuaded as to the power of God, and even they may have advisers that warn them on spiritual powers and authorities which they should heed.




No one ever said making everything right can not be fun. Why else have creation if it is all supposed to be a drudgery?

Well, "forever", anyway.


And I work in the security industry. I do not mind changing jobs.


I would rather save lives then always work in this field.

 

[heron]

Yes, I have been surprised by the stories of some contemporary evangelists. I think Arthur Blessit had some contacts of influence like this (whether he admitted it or not).

I love the story of Daniel, where he was kidnapped into the service of the Babylonian Empire, but then had influence over the king and administrators. Joseph too. There is much heart in stories like this -- consideration of a person's role and soul, simultaneously.

[heron]

That's so nice of you. Thanks for the encouragement -- it's one of those dreams I keep returning to and thinking, but that was so normal. I just assume that when we listen more, God doesn't need to make dreams as dramatic. "Real" or not, the prayer can't hurt!
