Zowie Irvin! Certainly appreciate the treasure trove of details in your dreams...much to glean from!
Embarking on a new journey into unknown territory, a map surely gives clear and necessary direction to help ensure getting to a planned destination...and in your dream that seems to be unity of the church! The map being between plastic covers could symbolize that haughtiness and spiritual superficiality are what separate one congregation from the other truly Christian-in-character congregation that showed you unconditional love and acceptance. Once this wall of shallow pride is broken down, then the ripe fields will yield an abundant harvest of souls, as well as signs and wonders...all to the glory of the Lord!
Hanameel means the grace that comes from God; gift of God. So God's great grace is what will melt pretentious hearts and bring unity among the brethren. No heart is too tough for God to transform!
The visiting congregation was steeped in only outward righteousness and pomp. They judged you by outward appearance, rather than by heart as God does. They seemed to purport a message that old hymns were most holy and therefore in singing these hymns, they as a people were holier than the other congregation. As you tried to preach, their demon of pride also let in a demon of scoffing. Yet as you started singing about Christ on the Cross of Calvary and His precious shed Blood, this made the evil spirits flee and ushered in the Holy Spirit of unity...a Divine bond of peace!
Note that POMP is a drug used in cancer chemotherapy and composed of Purinethol (6-mercaptopurine), Oncovin (vincristine sulfate), Methotrexate, and Prednisone. Dunno if your aunt having cancer could be literal, though this could also symbolize that the spirit of pride (pomp) been a cancer that has infiltrated the lives of Christians, whether they in an actual church or outside it. Your aunt could represent the Bride of Christ asking for help to oust the jezebel spirit that causes grievous division and hinders the hungry harvest of hearts eager to be brought in!
The older well dressed ladies on the plush sofa again could confirm the presence of pride and even of a jezebel spirit that has long planted itself in the church. The one not feeling so good, like she gonna have a coronary could represent the Holy Spirit's strong conviction upon an arrogant people who have trusted in their own righteousness. They would be ripe for reassurance of God's love...to hear He will do them good and be merciful towards them, because they have truly humbled themselves.
Note, coronary comes from the Latin coronarius, of a crown, from corona, crown. Crown means the highest point and to invest with regal power. So though the church and or Christians been brought very low in heart and by trying circumstances, God Most High deems their humility as worthy of honor and will reward them with His Presence and Power!
Psalm 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing—Life forevermore.
Isaiah 66:1-2 Thus says the LORD:“Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest? For all those things My hand has made, and all those things exist,” Says the LORD. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.
Zephaniah 3:12 I will leave in your midst a meek and humble people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Luke 18:9-14 And He spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Ephesians 4:1-5 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Philippians 2:1-3 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
