Lighthouse...Christian Dream and Vision Interpretation

God's transcending peace be multiplied to you!

I dreamed that I saw many people with hands lifted and giving praise to God. I heard a voice that said "He inhabits the praises of His people."

This dream would be exhorting you to keep praising, even and especially in the midst of turmoil, as lauding God will surely draw His presence and power into your circumstance! Will keep you joyfulllllllllllllllll and hopefulllllllllllllll as well! What you heard was from a psalm and the insight God gave me on that verse is this...because God Most High INHABITS His peoples' praises, make praising Him, an INNER HABIT!

Psalm 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

Psalm 34:1 I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

I dreamed that I was on the beach. I was near a house and saw the number was 5 or 6(it's not that I don't remember, 5 or 6 was part of the dream). I looked down the beach and felt discouragement because it took so long that I would never get to number 11.

Beach, as in beachfront and battlefront, tends to symbolize spiritual warfare. The # 5 symbolizes grace and #11 possibly disorder. Though in the Blue Letter Bible Concordance 5 refers to Abba (Father) and 11 to Abraham (father of a multitude) So messages being, as you pray, God's grace is sufficient for you to help overcome any disorder you may be contending with in your life and or your Abba Father knows your hopes to become a father yourself and will well fulfill your desires!

Psalm 37:3-6 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.

Romans 4:20-22 (Speaking of Abraham) He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore "it was accounted to him for righteousness."

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I dreamed that I was inside a coffee shop. There was a man at the bar sipping coffee next to me. There was a man behind the bar sweeping with a broom. I turned to the double glass doors and saw that the ocean was rough and coming towards the doors. I went to the doors to keep them closed but the ocean pushed the doors opened. I turned to look at the other two men and the one kept sipping coffee while the other stopped sweeping, leaned on his broom, and shook his head as though I was never going to keep the ocean out. I pulled a bookcase in front of the doors to keep the ocean out and it once again pushed the doors open.

Click to expand...

The man sipping coffee seems to represent a man at peace, content, and carefree. A broom could symbolize that your emotional storms are being Divinely cleaned up and swept away...sweeping, as in being given an overwhelming victory! The double glass doors could speak of reinforcement and the rough ocean of tumultuous times, wave after wave of earthly troubles. You attempting to keep the doors closed could symbolize by your own power, you may be trying to control whatever happens to you, yet that is like trying to calm a stirred up ocean...impossible. Pulling a bookcase in front of the doors could represent that you may be acting out of head knowledge, rather than Divine revelation and wisdom. Sounds like you may need to trust Jesus more; believe He is Sovereign over all that happens to you; He delights in your well-being and will work His good.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

1 Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

The next phase of the dream was in a garage. There were dead puppies on the floor and their bodies were decaying. I said, "don't you know these could cause disease!" and his friend (who is a diagnosed schizophrenic in real life) said, "yep."

Click to expand...

Garage is a place of repair and tends to symbolize much needed emotional healing. The schizo friend saying "yep" seems to represent being without understanding. If they truly understood that the dead puppies cause disease, then they would have done something about disposing of them properly. The dead puppies may be symbols of your lost loves, emotional scars that may be eating at you inwardly?

iimefsgt said:

Overhead was made of sand. I stood and faced a wall of coral with holes in it. I looked close and there were black baby birds in the holes of the coral. I looked up and thought that the ocean would come through the sand and wash out the things that lived in the coral. Just then, a person came by and shot a rifle into the coral and a white bird dropped dead. He told me, "ah, it was just a seagull." I looked at the coral again and saw four necks sticking up out of the top. They could have been snakes but I thought they were turtles necks.

Click to expand...

Coral is sharp; blackbirded as a verb means to kidnap and sell into slavery. So maybe, the blackbirds and coral symbolize past hurts that been enslaving you? Thinking the ocean would wash out the coral could show you may expect instant healing, though sometimes Divine healing is more gradual, a process.

A dove is a white bird symbolizing the Holy Spirit. So since the bird turned out to be a seagull, maybe this reveals that something you thought was of the Spirit, really wasn't?

Turtles pop their whole head in and out of their hard shell for protection. Tiz possible because of your past hurts that you may be defensive in dealing with others?

iimefsgt

Since you were abused as a child, that could indicate a need for emotional healing. Maybe you don't realize how your past is affecting your present interactions and treatment of others. If your Mom was overcontrolling, explains your similar propensities. Think tis misconstrued to say that because your wife hurting you like your Mom that you don't need a wife, but a Mom. Sounds like both you and your wifey are hurting...Jesus surely sent to heal your broken hearts, as did He send you those dreams to give you hope!

Psalm 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Seems your dream would refer to the possible battle going on between your heart and mind...your heart says you want your wifey to be near and dear to you, yet your mind murmurs that she has hurt you. So maybe because you don't wanna get hurt more, you may try to push her away, even though you truly want her by your side!

Ephesians 2:14-18 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

This incredible experience comes from Candi Gurney.

The Lord took me to a room which contained seven tunnels or doorways. He told me without words, heart to heart, to step through the fourth tunnel. I immediately obeyed without hesitation even though it was completely black and I could not see inside. The very moment that my body crossed the "threshold" I was melted into a liquid.

The Lord said, "You have been put through My holy refining fire and are now liquid in My holy hands. I'm burning off the impurities; purifying you." I watched my liquid self roll along this tunnel floor having the liquid metal properties of mercury when one breaks a thermometer and it spills, beads up and rolls around. However the liquid was not silver as mercury is, it was all colors of metal. Like how Black Hills Gold is in many different colors, yet all gold. I saw every color in the spectrum emanated from me as I rolled along the floor. I also emitted a glorious light which grew brighter as I went through the tunnel. I then noticed that the ceiling of this tunnel was only about one inch above the floor, but it did not hinder my moving through such a confined space.

Suddenly I was "spilled out" into an open area and watched myself arise as a person out of the puddle of molten liquid. I was wearing an iridescent dress which contained every color yet was white. The glory of the Lord was so radiating from within me that I almost could not look upon myself in this glorified state. I was smiling in absolute peace and began to dance and sway gracefully to the unseen music of heaven.

The Lord told me to stop moving and receive, yet without actually speaking. I stood still, closed my eyes and opened my arms to Him with a very serene and trusting look on my face. The Lord again spoke and said, "Daughter, you have been through My refining fires, the fires of My love. Now I will wash you in the waters of My love; wash you in the waters of My Word." He then said, "I love you. I love you. I love you," over and over and over again. As He did so the words literally became water and washed over me in waves with each sentence. Over and over the waters washed over me, filling me with His love, penetrating me with His words. Even though they became water I was neither wet nor damp, like I would be in the natural. I just stood there being washed in His words for so long. It seemed He said it a hundred times. Also, as each wave of "water" hit me my dress shone in a different color changing from an irridescent yellow, to pink to green to blue, etc.

The Lord then allowed my sight to pan towards where the words were being spoken. I saw before me a magnificent, majestic lion. It was the Lion of Judah, Jesus. This was not like any lion I've ever seen on the earth nor imagined. It was huge and exuded such absolute power and authority. His eyes were burning flames of fire and He had His right paw raised with claws extended. His mouth was open wide with teeth showing and He roared out the words, "I love you," over and over again with such force and vehemence as well as being very loud in volume. I could feel the shaking of the earth in those words. As the words went through the air towards me they turned to waters and washed over me.

I could feel the intensity of His great love for me. I could feel the protectiveness and possessiveness of His mighty love for me, all unlike anything I've ever imagined. I felt the security and safety of being in the presence of this great love.

During this encounter with the Lord, I felt my physical body shake uncontrollably in the natural. It shook and then would abruptly stop for a time and then shake again and then stop abruptly and shake again. This happened several times during this time with the Lord.

After I finished with this heavenly encounter with Jesus and it was apparent, a friend that was with me rose up and bent over and put his hands upon each side of my face and said, "Receive. Receive My anointing of expectation." At the moment he touched my face I saw a beautiful silver crown with diamonds all over in it, like a tiara, appear on my head. Then I heard the Lord say, "Expectation comes with knowing who you are in Me. You are royalty. Royalty expects. Have an attitude and heart of expectation." I then felt a confidence wash over my whole being that I have never felt before. I felt that when I pray for someone to be healed I would do so with full expectation that they would be healed. It was as though it was "a matter of fact."

The Lord impressed upon me that this was not meant just for me, personally. He wants me to share this so that all will know of His great and mighty love for them. His love is fierce towards His Bride. He is refining His Bride because His return is soon. He comes for a bride without spot or wrinkle. He desires that all would know of His love and of His imminent return.

Posted with permission from Deb...

God has given me a message to His Bride to bring her back to her first love and to arouse and awaken her passion for Him.

As an example this past summer, I kept smelling lemons, craving them also and thought am I going bonkers here, smiles .Then I found out doing some research on the symbolic meaning of lemons they mean "fidelity in love".

Looking up fidelity I was blessed to find all the meanings to it and what He was now asking of His Bride. My cry has been to the Lord Jesus, what do you want of your Bride? We know that He spoke and said He wants a Bride without spot or wrinkle. I ask for myself but others as well so that I can convey I pray to speak to His body what He desires from her and what He desires for her to be.

We know that infidelity is the number one cause of marriage breakup. It breaks down trust and causes division and wounds us deeply as the betrayal sets in. We also see in the Bible where His beloved Israel went whoring after other gods and the lust of the flesh.

Fidelity means - faithful or to trust, being continualy faithful to an obligation, trust or duty. It also means faithfulness to something to which one is bound by pledge or duty.

Allegiance -suggests an adherence like that of citizens to their country.

Fealty- implies a fidelity acknowledged by the individual and as compelling as a sworn vow.

Loyalty- implies faithfulness that is steadfast in the face of any temptation to renounce, desert, or betray.

Devotion- stresses zeal and service amounting to self-dedication.

Piety -stresses fidelity to obligations regarded as natural and fundamental. Holding to a standard.

You can take this as with the Lords kingdom and how we are to act and be as His Bride.

The Lord is speaking to his church we are going into a winter season of major heart operations within His Bride , he gave me a vision of a heart cut open and laying side by side, the back side he was working on, speaking to me that in order to go into the deeper things that he has for us, then we must let him go deeper in us, and when we come thru seeing the infidelity we have in our love to Him. We will be broken and humbled thru deep repentance and the Lord will bring healing in His wings.

I also see as we come thru this into the Spring, major warfare will be at hand and all of this is in preparation for the Spring that is coming in the natural and in the spiritual.

Got the go-ahead to post this dream from Becky. My interpretation and her affirmative reply are also included. TY JESUS!

Becky's Dream:

We were going somewhere far away. I think I remember it being to China? Ray was driving this pickup and we were going down a very steep road. In fact it was almost straight down for a long ways! He looked at me and I looked at him. It was as if he was wondering if I was scared and I was not! I knew it was alright! I remember seeing the Ocean in front of us. I think the way to where we were going was through the Ocean, somehow. There was another man there who had given us instructions as to where to go.

Next we were somehow at a big shopping mall. We had to go through there to get where we were going! We ended up in somebody's living room! Our two girls were there ahead of us and I wanted to get them out of there because I didn't want them to get into things. Then I was looking at a small door above the living room where we could stay for a little while. there was a room in there where we could hide. We were with a group of people.

Then these men had captured us and they were apparently going to attempt to kill my husband and another man. I saw a gallon jar behind Ray (my husband) and motioned to it with my eyes. He took the hint and reached behind and grabbed it. The other man grabbed something else. They were prepared to fight. I thought "Am I going to have to see Ray kill someone?" Then the scene changed again...

I was with other women. Me and another lady were being held there somehow. They were making the other lady work. But for some reason they liked me and I was just hanging out with them and talking with everybody.

OK It is a really weird dream and maybe most of it is just part of a rambling dream. But the first part where we are going down that steep road, and the part where Ray and the other man are ready to fight for their lives have really been sticking to my mind. I somehow knew Ray and the other man would be alright, too.

My Interpretation:

***We were going somewhere far away. I think I remember it being to China? Ray was driving this pickup and we were going down a very steep road. In fact it was almost straight down for a long ways! He looked at me and I looked at him. It was as if he was wondering if I was scared and I was not! I knew it was alright! I remember seeing the ocean in front of us. I think the way to where we were going was through the Ocean, somehow. There was another man there who had given us instructions as to where to go.***

Going somewhere far away symbolizes taking a huge step of faith, way out of your comfort zone! Also shows being very decisive and purposeful; you are well assured that your supply is coming from above! So by faith your prayers have surely gone somewhere...upwards to the storehouses of heaven to secure all that you need! From what I have read, a Chinese person in a dream tends to represent a financial counselor. Going down a steep road could symbolize a major test of trusting God through financial troubles. Like being on a roller coaster ride, experiencing lows with urgent needs and thrilling highs when your Jehovah Jireh delivers provision at the eleventh hour! You weren't scared could show that you kept faith and were at peace, knowing that your Good Shepherd would work His wonders! Seeing the ocean could symbolize the Holy Spirit that has gone before you and been leading you through the storms of life. Ocean, as in an ocean of opportunities, could also signify a myriad of Divine Appointments and ministry ahead to testify what God has done for you!

***Next we were somehow at a big shopping mall. We had to go through there to get where we were going! We ended up in somebody's living room! Our two girls were there ahead of us and I wanted to get them out of there because I didn't want them to get into things. Then I was looking at a small door above the living room where we could stay for a little while. there was a room in there where we could hide. We were with a group of people.***

Mall, as in mal or maul, tends to symbolize a need for emotional healing. Being in someone else's living room could show that you will receive needed prayer ministry, be poured into, so God will pour you out on others and upcoming ministry opportunities. You may have been minding your own business, so to speak, represented by keeping your girls out of somebody else's things. Leading quiet lives, almost been in hiding? Yet your lives may be about to pick up Divine speed!?!

Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under abowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

***Then these men had captured us and they were apparently going to attempt to kill my husband and another man. I saw a gallon jar behind Ray (my husband) and,motioned to it with my eyes. He took the hint and reached behind and grabbed it. The other man grabbed something else. They were prepared to fight. I thought "Am I going to have to see Ray kill someone?" Then the scene changed again...***

Gallon jar makes reference to imperial bushel, meaning belonging to, or suitable to, supreme authority, or one who wields it; royal; sovereign; supreme. You and your hubby certainly belong to the King of kings, so would wield His authority over attacks of the devil!

Psalm 105:14-15 He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake He rebuked kings: "Do not touch My anointed ones; do My prophets no harm."

Isaiah 54:17 no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from Me," declares the LORD.

Luke 10:18-20 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

Ephesians 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.

***I was with other women. Me and another lady were being held there somehow. They were making the other lady work. But for some reason they liked me and I was just hanging out with them and talking with everybody.***

Describes God's favor upon you even in the midst of captivity!

Becky's Reply:

Kristi, This interpretation is really right on. In fact we are right in the midst of that financial testing time right now. We had been told we would be paid a certain amount for our nieces and when it came time to receive the first check, they told us the case worker was wrong and we couldn't be paid for Foster care even though we got licensed like they said we would have to, because we are related. I was really upset at first, and we had planned to pay our real estate taxes with the money. Now we don't have the money for our taxes because we used the money we were putting aside for it, to buy clothes and dressers and things for the girls. Also my husband was laid off for a very long time and we had to use the remainder of our tax money for a house payment.

Well, I decided to let it go and to trust God that He would provide for our needs. Then we got a notice that they are going to put this in court for the sale of our home for the delinquent taxes. I had been told this wouldn't happen for two years! We are only about two months behind. Well, now my brother in law heard about it and gave us three hundred dollars to help out, and others have offered to send us money. Also Children's services is reportedly working on getting us some money. I know the money will be here on time, and I have peace about it. We have to have it by the 11th from what I read on the notice. It is just over a thousand dollars. Kind of reminds me of the eleventh hour like you said! (Praise God for His provision!)

The next part is also right on the mark. we have been keeping pretty much to ourselves. We have been going to a Church that is a half hour drive from our house, and visiting another one between times. I know a lot of people around me only have been keeping pretty much to myself. Only we are starting a weekly prayer meeting at my house which we started for the first time (again) on Monday morning, and now there are at least about 5 people who plan to start coming! This is exciting! I am waiting to see what God is doing! Your interpretation of the mall seems to it as well because there was a real need for healing.

Thanks so much! for the interpretation. Our God is so awesome to speak to us in so many ways. I am so thankful for help in understanding.

Indeed agreeing that the man in your dream is Jesus! Would seem He taking you on a journey (symbolized by the road) of healing! The forest with the burnt trees could indicate overexposure to winds of adversity, having experienced a lot of hardship. On a beach, as in beachfront, tends to be a symbol of spiritual warfare, so could be a call to pray for your family.

The part about your step father could be God exhorting that if you were mistreated by him, your Lord Most High will weave into an eye-catching tapestry the trying times you endured in your life. Meaning God will work His good and His glory over your past trials! Especially if you sensitive, your possibly being abused (?) would explain why you mad and bitter. Would seem because of what you been through, that you may have a few rough, sharp edges, symbolized by the shark, even maybe anger issues to deal with?

Jesus is certainly the Rock, the Chief Cornerstone, to continue building your life upon. He is the anchor of your soul to keep you from drowning in the troubles and emotional storms of life. As He works, you must allow Him to dredge up (crab trap) parts of your past, so that He may free you of the hurt and bitternesses that you may still harbor. Beard tends to symbolize emotional hurt and since in your dream Jesus had a beard that would represent He has already borne your griefs! Him being clean shaven would show your liberty is near!

Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

Colossians 3:12-13 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

I was on a helicopter that was landing. It was landing next to a school. I looked and my daughter was sitting with other children in another smaller helicopter just as mine was moving backward. I saw my son running between helicopters looking for something or someone. I ran around the school looking for my daughter. I saw myself talking to her while I ignored him. I went into the school office and the administrators were worried because my ex-wife would find out that I was there. We thought her mother's car was pulling in but when we looked, she wasn’t there. I was walking outside and someone told me about my daughter, “How could you have missed that!” I assume he meant that her helicopter had taken off to some distant Landing Zone.

Click to expand...

Helicopter tends to represent the healing presence of Jesus! As does a school symbolize being in the school of the Holy Spirit! Your copter moving backward could show that once your healing is complete, Jesus will also heal your daughter and son too! Your son running around looking for somtin or someone could very well signify he needing comfort and quality time with you, especially if he been somewhat sidelined by other pressing issues with your daughter? The administrators fretting could reveal your own worries about the potential of being prohibited from seeing your kids? Your exwife's car not being there could confirm that your concerns are unfounded and that you won't be separated from your kiddies! About your daughter's copter taking off, maybe you haven't recognized her need for healing?

iimefsgt, insight as follows...

***I dreamt that I was at family gathering of some type that included my wife, my sister, and others I either can't identify or can't remember. it seemed to be taking place at Clarabel's (a long dead aunt) house in FD. anyway I forgot something and set out alone in my pickup to go get it. as I drove in the countryside, the wind was ferocious. I could hardly maintain control. as I drove, I noticed a cement bike path running parallel to the highway and I noted the sign 'no motor vehicles' I wondered where that bike path went as it split off from the road.***

A long passed aunt could indicate something generational that must be renounced? Cement is a bonding substance, so tends to represent a spiritual bondage. Ferocious winds making maintaining control tough could symbolize fighting against extreme winds of adversity in circumstances and relationships.

***I came to huge open area where the roadway and the path came together again and the road way, looking ahead, looked like a maze or pretzel, it was so curvy and convoluted turning back on itself in circles and curves. I thought about just forgetting the road and heading overland in the direction I wanted to go when I saw a car coming my way. I did not know if the car coming from the opposite direction that I was going and that we would ultimately meet on the road and pass by one another or if it was a car going the same direction as me but was either father ahead of me on the road or behind me, coming from where I had been or just a head of me going in the same direction but for the moment in a loop coming at me. anyway the feeling I woke up with was curiosity about that other car.***

This would seem to describe the past, repeated patterns of controlling behaviour (circles) that have had similar consequences in 2 marriages, head on collisions so to speak, resulting in much hurt. The car you see could also symbolize your wife, as it is unclear whether she going to stay (car going in same direction) or go (pass by).

***I wonder if I prayed for the wife if God would honor that prayer too. I feel that God is using these circumstances for His purposes and I don't want to be manipulative in my prayers...as if God would let me manipulate him in the first place. I believe now that God is sustaining me through this very difficult spiritual warfare.***

Praying for your wife and father-in-law to receive Divine dreams is not at all manipulative. This will bring them into closer communion with Jesus and show them how loving, how personal He really is with them!

From Catherine Brown Founder, Gatekeepers Prayer & Mission www.gatekeepers.org.uk

Tuesday, November 02, 2004

In prayer this morning, I saw the word "Grace" etched on the American flag, and received an incredible sense of peace as I stood in prayer with you, asking Father for His will to be done in the elections.

Just prior to writing this e-mail, I had another brief vision. Initially, I saw three angels positioned over the US -- one is named Valor, the other Mercy and the other Grace. They are significant angels!

Then I saw a further angel, one which seemed so much smaller than the other three large angels, and I inquired of the Lord what this angel was named. The angel turned, in the vision, and smiled at me. His name is Humility.

Each of the angels held prayer bowls, which were being filled by the prayers of the saints and then carried to the throne room before Father.

Although the angel named Humility seemed to look much smaller than the other huge angels, they loved him so deeply and acknowledged and respected the humility of his character.

These larger angels had significant assignments and their prayer bowls were quite large. However, the one carried by the angel named Humility was by far the largest.

I believe these four beautiful virtues -- grace, mercy, valor, and humility are being poured out for the sake of Christ through the prayers of the saints in the U.S. and for the Lord's Kingdom to come in the U.S.

Humility is the root from which all graces flourish. It is a most precious jewel. Humility becomes ours as we participate in the life of Christ. As we learn to trust him more, to depend fully on him, to allow him to show us the hard, prideful places in our hearts, Jesus' humility begins to shine through -- transforming us into His image.

The Bride of Christ is as terrifying as banners to the enemy when she walks in humility. Humility enables us to attain the place of understanding our "nothingness" compared to his greatness.

To be emptied out in order that He might fill us and fulfill His purposes and plans through us, is such a place of honor through humility. How my heart longs to know more of Christ's humility.

May God bless you and all our brothers and sisters in America as, together, we bow the knee and seek the face and the will of our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.

Colossians 3:12-17 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Philippians 2:3-4 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

1 Peter 5:5-7 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
