Lighthouse...Christian Dream and Vision Interpretation

[Blessed2003]

I have a folder filled with poems, and different writings from many years ago. I was going through my folder this morning and I found this dream I had written down, I dreamed it 9-27-03, and I am baffled by what it could mean. I was wondering if you could help me. Some background is me and my husband have been married since February 14, 03. When we met I had been praying for a mate, so had he. We were both still very lost, and not being obedient. When we met we knew that God had provided each other as an answer to our prayers, we still are struggling, and on different levels spiritually, but I still know in my heart that God brought us together for a reason. Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

I dreamed Keith and I were living in our house, only it wasn't our house, it was a differnt one then the one we lived in. We were in the kitchen, I was going through the pantry, and the kids were getting ready for school, Keith was in the kitchen talking to someone about being a Christian. As I was going through the pantry I found ice cream goodies, sprinkles, cones, etc. I tried to taste the sprinkles, but couldn't get them open. I looked in the bottom of the cabinet and found 2 hamburger patties, and some cube steak wrapped up in the store package, apparently we had put them in the cabinet, and not in the fridge. I took them out and sat them on the floor, I wanted to show Keith, it made me mad. He came over and sat in the floor beside me. Our back door was open, I looked outside and it was still dark, but I noticed that the sun was shining on the other side of our house, and I could see the shadow of our house in the back? I went back over to Keith, as I did, Austin (my baby) came in the kitchen to show me he was dressed as he did I looked at the clock and it said 8:=, I didn't understand what that ment. I looked to my left and I saw 3 little men, (I knew no one else could see them) they had pointed ears, and looked evil, they were arguing, and leaving, like they had to, because Jesus was making them go. I thought of them as demons being cast out. Austin had green hair unkept, and big converse shoes on, I told him he could not go to school like that and he started whining and stomped off. I was listening to Keith he was still talking, he was 'preaching' to me. Telling me the Proverbs. I remember wanting to listen, but I was in a hurry to get the kids ready so they would not be late for school. Jesse (my step son from a previous marriage) was there, he and I were hugging, and talking, he tried to get me to dance with him. Then I woke up, and David Jerimah was on T.V. preaching on the proverbs.

that's it. Thanks,
B

Sweet Shalom Blessed...hope you be even more so after you read this interpretation...

***I dreamed Keith and I were living in our house, only it wasn't our house, it was a different one then the one we lived in.***

A house tends to represent one's life, so since you were in a different house would seem to say that Jesus has a whole new life...a new way of living for you and your family!

***We were in the kitchen, I was going through the pantry, and the kids were getting ready for school, Keith was in the kitchen talking to someone about being a Christian. As I was going through the pantry I found ice cream goodies, sprinkles, cones, etc. I tried to taste the sprinkles, but couldn't get them open. I looked in the bottom of the cabinet and found 2 hamburger patties, and some cube steak wrapped up in the store package, apparently we had put them in the cabinet, and not in the fridge. I took them out and sat them on the floor, I wanted to show Keith, it made me mad.***

Kitchen, as in heart of the home, symbolizes one's heart and is for food preparation. Pantry is a place of storage, so your dream seems to say that you may have resentment towards Keith? Two hamburger patties could reveal you have two valid beefs (complaints) stewing about and festering in your heart...that really been grating on you? Cube steak could symbolize spiritual meat that hasn't been chewed on, not pondered, so growth stunted. Since Keith was talking about being a Christian, that would signify he will be a practicing one!

The ice cream goodies, sprinkles, cones etc would be indicative of a sundae kiddie party! Meaning possibly you been eager to attend Sunday church or church on any day together (would be much like a joy party!), yet despite your persistence (trying to open the sprinkles), Keith may not share your same zeal, so has hindered you from experiencing Christian comraderie as a married couple. And or does Keith need to help you out more with the kids?

***He came over and sat in the floor beside me. Our back door was open, I looked outside and it was still dark, but I noticed that the sun was shining on the other side of our house, and I could see the shadow of our house in the back? I went back over to Keith, as I did, Austin (my baby) came in the kitchen to show me he was dressed as he did I looked at the clock and it said 8:=, I didn't understand what that meant.***

This would show Keith acknowledging you and your beefs! The Son has now set...taken away your anger and a new dawn is surely arising over your marriage! The number 8 represents a new beginning, liberty, resurrection life!

***I looked to my left and I saw 3 little men, (I knew no one else could see them) they had pointed ears, and looked evil, they were arguing, and leaving, like they had to, because Jesus was making them go. I thought of them as demons being cast out. Austin had green hair unkept, and big converse shoes on, I told him he could not go to school like that and he started whining and stomped off.***

Rejoicing with you that as you open up and Keith submits to Christ, that the contentious spirits will be Divinely vanquished! Green unkempt hair could symbolize battles over finances? As for big converse shoes, they represent A BIG SPIRITUAL TURN AROUND FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY KEITH! Converse meaning reversed, as in position, order, or action; contrary...something that has been reversed; an opposite...your hubby been spiritually contrary, yet Jesus about to set him aright! Converse also means to engage in a spoken exchange of thoughts, ideas; talk...spoken interchange of feelings...meaningful conversation...something am sure you look forward to doing more with Keith!

***I was listening to Keith he was still talking, he was 'preaching' to me. Telling me the Proverbs. I remember wanting to listen, but I was in a hurry to get the kids ready so they would not be late for school. Jesse (my step son from a previous marriage) was there, he and I were hugging, and talking, he tried to get me to dance with him. Then I woke up, and David Jeremiah was on T.V. preaching on the proverbs.***

This would be an exhortation to make time to dance through Proverbs and the Psalms (Jesse, father of David, the Psalmist), both books so full of wisdom and reverence!...also to pray...don't be rushed into making any decisions, major or minor ones. The initials DJ could stand for a disk jockey, one announcing, reaffirming that Proverbs...wisdom from above is what you and your hubby, what we all...need more of! DJ could also stand for the Dow Jones, a financial symbol, meaning wisdom, wise stewardship, will help improve your financial situation.

Psalm 23:1-3 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

John 10:10 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (Life to the full! Described as your highest blessedness!)

2 Corinthians 5:14-15, 17-21 For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again...Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

James 3:17-18 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

Thank you so much Humblebee.

Hello Humblebee,

I usually have no trouble interpreting my dreams but this one seems a bit elusive. Any thoughts you wish to share would be appreciated.

Baby Rescue

A real-life friend of mine ( Scott B. ) and I entered a furniture store. Most of the furniture was for babies and it was stacked in aisles about 12 feet high or higher. We heard a young child yelling for help. Running through the isles we quickly found a boy about 3 years old hanging by one ankle from a crib at the top of the stack. My friend was the first to reach him and we safely lowered him to the ground. As soon as he was on the ground the child began to talk like an adult. He teased me in a friendly but sarcastic manner and I responded to him in the same way. He seemed so helpless a few moments now he seemed so confident. A middle aged woman arrived and asked why we were “tormenting” her son. I was annoyed that she had not kept a closer watch on him but I simply explained that we had just rescued him. She accepted my answer saying “Oh, OK.” then without a word of thanks she walked away and the child followed.

My friend and I walked away and I spotted a blue passport on the ground. As I looked through it I realized it was also a wallet and it was filled with money and many important I.D. papers. I told my friend that we had to find the owner because he would need this stuff. Just then a foreign man arrived and began thanking me profusely for finding and returning his passport/wallet. He said that we were such wonderfully honest and good people that we must be the ones who rescued his son earlier and he began thanking us for that as well.

I noticed that next to the man was a blue stroller with same 3-year-old peacefully sleeping with a pacifier in his mouth. The strange thing is that the child now had my face including my glasses and beard but with one acceptation. My hair is brown and gray but the child had fiery reddish orange hair and beard.
Then the dream ended.

Any thoughts?

HCS, here some insight and applicable Bible verses...

Donald would represent your spirit man and Daffy your flesh that are at odds and battle against one another. Your spirit wants to please God......though your flesh tries to derail you, as it wants to gratify self. Self in total opposition to God, doesn't die easily and grumbles a lot when not satisfied. However, the lightning would symbolize the power of God Almighty to help you, ensuring your carnal man remains dead and that your spirit man gets stronger to exercise more self-control. Whatever you give the most attention to will rule, so heartily feed your spirit man more, then you will have less trouble with your flesh...worldly pleasures won't be as appetizing to you anymore.

Romans 6:12-14 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 7:15-20 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Romans 8:5-8 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Galatians 5:16-18 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Ephesians 2:14-16 For He Himself is [your] 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.

i had a dream of donald and daffy duck..they were fighting against each other...donald the duck is white..and daffy is black..they were fighting and quarreling against each other..in various ways..doing various things..i remember they were on a train...and donald was in the engine train..and daffy was out on the front of it...donald was doing somethings against daffy..daffy had it..and entered into the engine..through a tube..and went up to donald..while he was in the engine..daffy did something to donald..and things were said..i remember then there were two strikes..one was aways...then the second came down..it was the biggest strike in the earth..it came down and hit the train..it was a cartoon lighting bolt..with a cloud..it was the biggest lightning bolt though..cause that is what i felt..it came down and hit the train..i remember hearing loud thunder nioses too..i remember seeing from various views of the bolt..and how great it was....i remember i view from space of the earth..and the lightning hitting the earth..you could see it from space..and i remember a man..who eat the earth..but spit it out..because of the lightning bolt..after i remember donald and duffy in a resturant..they were servning..but still mad at each other..i remember them having suits at first..they eyed each other..and i remember at end..like flashes..or later they had no suit..thats it...

 

[HomeBound]

ok, this is weird.

For about a week now, I've been having dreams about men who are enticing people through, what the people think as good intentions. But I somehow know the truth about these men. One time I even yelled at one of them to "get out of here" and he just smiled and said in a very calm but sinister voice "why" and I didn't answer back.

They would seem to have these followers who didn't know they were being sucked into something that could be bad in a long run.

In each dream there would only be one man as described above.

one would win people over by his riches and seemingly generosity, another man, by some kind of virtual reality thing that people wore. I don't remember the others.

The reason I said this was weird, is because I've never had dreams like these before.

 

[HumbleBee]

These Scriptures surely apply to what you dreaming HomeBound...

Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

2 Corinthians 11:4, 13-15 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted--you may well put up with it!...For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Philippians 3:18-19 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.

Colossians 2:6, 8 Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words...Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

1 Timothy 6:3-10 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself. Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

1 John 4:1-4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

For about a week now, I've been having dreams about men who are enticing people through, what the people think as good intentions. But I somehow know the truth about these men. One time I even yelled at one of them to "get out of here" and he just smiled and said in a very calm but sinister voice "why" and I didn't answer back.

I did interpret LostandFound's dream via pm tho did have correct theme was not quite on right track, so here is his own interpretation that mine helped spur...PTL for the spurring and for his edifying interpretation!


I knew that the child represented some aspect of me and suspected that my friend did as well. The child is upside down indicating he is doing the reverse of what he should be doing. He is seeking the security of his past (the crib) and it is not working. When set right side up he refuses to acknowledge his mistake. (This has to do with my reluctance to move forward into the new plans that God has for me and instead trying to return to the old things that I’ve become good at.)

God’s question to me: “Why are you tormenting yourself?” My response “ I’m not. I’m rescuing myself.” God’s response: “Oh, OK” As if to say “If you say so.” No “Thank you” due. No “Thank you” given.

God shows that the way (passport) to my security is to humble myself (bend down to pick up the passport), acknowledge His identity as Almighty God (I.D. Papers) and His all-sufficiency (the money). In so doing I give Him what is rightfully His (the importance of returning the passport). He then will acknowledge me as righteous through Christ (calling me a good and honest person), He will not bring up my faults/sins (He still refers to the first part of the dream as a rescue) and He will reveal Himself as Father in my life. He will pacify me with peace and rest even while the world with all its troubles tries to torment my mind. Sounds a lot like the 23rd psalm.

What a hoot! God shows up in my dream to show me his credentials as Lord and Savior! I have mulled this dream over and over and didn’t understand it until now. I think it was your reference to pride that triggered it for me. Thanks.

Joshua 1:8-9 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success...Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

Philippians 3:13-14 Forget...what is behind and strain...toward what is ahead...I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

 

[HumbleBee]

Posting this vision for the comfort and encouragement of others! My eyes were rivers just last night...then today read this vision from a prophetic activation list that I have participated in...TY JESUS!

***I saw this vision. A right hand reaching out and touching a broken heart. The hand was full of love and great compassion. The heart was swollen with painful tears. Yet as the hand touched the heart, the tears disappeared, and the heart was renewed. I felt, as I saw this, an anointing. Also on the wrist of this hand was a watch. On the face of the watch was one word "time".***

The lady who received this vision, said she couldn't get an interpretation, but knew that whomever it was for, would understand it perfectly and I certainly did! Time means be patient! Argggggggggggg...lol!, but Yes Lord! Also to trust that God's timing is perfect and your times (the circumstances of your life) are in His Sovereign good Hands!

Deuteronomy 32:3-4 I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God! He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.

Psalm 31:15-16 My times are in Your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me. Make Your face shine upon Your servant; save me for Your mercies' sake.

Psalm 34:18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite spirit.

Isaiah 55:8-13 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

James 5:7-11 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand...My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord--that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.

 

[alexeeah]

Okay so my dream started out Me and my husband were in my mothers house. We kept hearing this banging noise. They all told me to go outside and find out what the noise was so I did. When I went' outside I saw this little baby. It was kind of see through and pink, and it had a magic wand and it was casting spells on the house and causing chunks of the house to fall off. I prayed in Jesus name that the baby leave but it didn't Then I prayed the prayer of binding. (What ever things are bound on heaven are bound on earth) and the baby stopped. The next part of the dream I was with a man who is friends with my husband. We were talking about that man going golfing with my husband then his wife came up and said I have something to give you.9By the way the couple is a very Godly couple too) Then she took me in to this really big big top tent that was all dark green. Inside it was very diimly lit and it had cubicles set up all over. We sat right by the door, and she pulled out a ring (Gold with three pure diamonds) and two gold hoop earrings. Then she loaned me about 10 umbrellas (the kind used with a big table outdoors) She told me not to open them but my son went outside the tent and started opening all the umbrellas and sticking them in the ground. beside each blue umbrella was a white one. It started getting windy and the woman said that we should go and fold up all the umbrellas. That is when I woke up.

pmmed this to alexeeah, so posting with her permission and her reply...

***Me and my husband were in my mothers house. We kept hearing this banging noise. They all told me to go outside and find out what the noise was so I did. When I went' outside I saw this little baby. It was kind of see through and pink, and it had a magic wand and it was casting spells on the house and causing chunks of the house to fall off. I prayed in Jesus name that the baby leave but it didn't Then I prayed the prayer of binding. (What ever things are bound on heaven are bound on earth) and the baby stopped.***

Being at your mother's house could indicate you are seeking either comfort and or wisdom. Banging noise could be made by a fist, so could be a sign of fist-a-cuffing with words. Baby tends to symbolize an object of concern and could be a financial symbol. Pink, meaning 'in the pink' could symbolize health. So since the baby was pink and see through could signify that you are having financial troubles. You would obviously be concerned and money is certainly a contentious issue in marriage causing a lot of ruckus. The chunks of the house falling off could symbolize that this possible contention will disintegrate before your very eyes!

***I was with a man who is friends with my husband. We were talking about that man going golfing with my husband***

Golf is a homonym for gulf, for division. So your hubby's friend could represent a gulf between you and your hubby.

***then his wife came up and said I have something to give you.(By the way the couple is a very Godly couple too) Then she took me in to this really big big top tent that was all dark green.***

Green is the color of money and of new growth, so dark green could symbolize new financial prosperity, even spiritual and relational renewal!

***Inside it was very dimly lit and it had cubicles set up all over.***

Dimly lit a symbol of dusk, opposite of dusk is dawn and in terms of trying circumstances tiz surely darkest before the dawn!

***We sat right by the door, and she pulled out a ring (Gold with three pure diamonds) and two gold hoop earrings.***

Right by the door means waiting with eager anticipation for an expected arrival! What comes to mind is that waiting for God to work His wonders will be worth the weight in gold! Weight a homonym for wait!

***Then she loaned me about 10 umbrellas (the kind used with a big table outdoors) She told me not to open them but my son went outside the tent and started opening all the umbrellas and sticking them in the ground. beside each blue umbrella was a white one. It started getting windy and the woman said that we should go and fold up all the umbrellas. That is when I woke up.***

Umbrellas obviously needed for rain, a symbol of God's blessings and how wih 10 umbrellas! Would be dangerous to try and open a big umbrella with a wind storm brewing. The umbrella and you could get carried away and you be totally out of control about where you land. (So wait on God rather than try to work things out on your own.) Blue could symbolize heaven, white a symbol of peace, even of surrender! Your blessing will come from above as you surrender all to Jesus and wait in peace!

Psalm 57:1-2 Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

Philippians 4:4-7, 19 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus...And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:12-15 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. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Thanks so much for your help in this interpretation. I couldn't seem to understand what the umbrellas meant in the dream Everything else seems to line up fully with what I thought. Praise God because this has been an area of struggle that we were in total need of breakthrough!! Thanks again and feel free to post the reply!!

The following dream is from a sweetie named Pam and I post with her permission and my reply.

Zowie Pam! Through your dream, God sent me on an enlightening Scripture treasure hunt! Enjoy the spiritual feast!

***I had a dream I was needing to be interpreted. In this dream, I was given a wedding ring. The ring was white gold and thick and beautiful. It sparkled it was so bright. It had three bands but all of them were attached so it was still one piece. Two of the bands were about twice the size of the band in the middle, but the band in the middle had a small rock diamond that was milky white. The two larger bands that were on each side of this smaller band had small diamonds inside their bands. I examined the ring and asked if it was real because of the way the rock diamond appeared but the person who gave me the ring said it was real, it was just uncut. I put the ring on and it fit perfect.***


What a dream! Indeed it could very well be about the Trinity! First, a wedding ring is a sign of loving lifetime committment (the ring was thick), being in a covenant relationship! Believing God is exhorting He loves you that much...to be committed to loving (caring, providing, protecting) you for a lifetime and even here everafter!

White gold is a pale alloy of gold usually with platinum or nickel or palladium. Platinum is a heavy precious grayish white NONCORRODING ductile malleable metallic element that FUSES WITH DIFFICULTY and is used especially in chemical ware (SPIRITUAL WARFARE) and apparatus (SUPPORT OF HOLY SPIRIT), as a catalyst (ENCOURAGER), and in dental (SPEECH) and jewelry alloys (ENHANCES CHARACTER). A summary of all that...The Trinity's trustworthiness is noncorroding and fuses with you in difficulty, helping and encouraging you in spiritual warfare, while influencing your responses and reactions in the midst of adversities!

Nickel is a hard malleable ductile silvery metallic element, also resistant to corrosion. And in Swedish is short form for kopparnickel, niccolite, partial translation of German Kupfernickel : Kupfer, copper + Nickel, demon, rascal, from the deceptive copper color of the ore (from the name Nikolaus, Nicholas). So the unfathomable mighty power of the Trinity enables you to resist the corrosion of sin and the pull of temptation, especially as the devil continues to 'nickel and dime' you, with his petty deceptive schemes and fiery darts!

Palladium is a soft (LOVING, MERCIFUL), ductile, steel-white (UNCOMPROMISING), tarnish-resistant (MORAL FORTITUDE), metallic element occurring naturally with platinum, especially in gold, nickel, and copper ores. Palladium also means a safeguard, especially one viewed as a guarantee of the integrity of social institutions: the Bill of Rights, palladium of American civil liberties. A sacred object that was believed to have the power to preserve a city or state possessing it. Summary...God Most High has the power to preserve both your life and your integrity...conforming you to His loving and merciful image, yet making you uncompromising with moral fortitude!

For the ring being beautiful and sparkling so bright with the diamonds, I hear the Word...MULTI-FACETED! God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit share a multi-faceted, indescribable 3 in 1 connection! Just as a ring is a never-ending circle, their love be everlasting! And the Trinity is an endless storehouse of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, of whatever you need spiritually, emotionally, relationally, physically, materially, physiologically, and financially!

Surmising that Jesus (God in human flesh!) is represented by the smaller band. The 2 bigger bands represent His Holy Father and the Holy Spirit who encompassed Him, watched over Him as He lived on earth!

A diamond, the hardest substance known to man, is resistant to deterioration and could symbolize the immutability and immortality of the Trinity! The most valuable diamonds are colorless because the light shines through them. A milky white diamond is a cloudy diamond and could symbolize that Jesus, God's One and Only begotten, most valuable (!!!) Son, became a man in a world clouded with sin, yet remained sinless (white), and humbled Himself even to the point of death. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Christ let gospel of His salvation shine for all the world to see and to the glory of His Father!

Many in the world have examined Jesus from all angles and yet still wonder if He is real, if He was sinless, if He is the true Messiah to come. A myriad of other questions about Him and the Trinity, a humanly uncomprehensible subject, continually confound the finite mind! So I proclaim with hearty faith, YES JESUS WAS PERFECT, WITHOUT SIN! YES HE IS THE SOON COMING ETERNAL KING, SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD! And the reasons are countless, but here's a brief explanation. Uncut means not cut, not separated or divided by cutting or otherwise. So, our Lord Jesus remained sinless because He was never, except at Calvary, UNCUT, never separated from His Holy Father! He constantly abided in fellowship with, and in loving obedience to Him who sent Him! He kept in humble step with, dependent upon the Holy Spirit! Furthermore, the life Christ lived testifies that what He taught is eternal Truth!

The ring fitting perfectly would symbolize that you have chosen well being wedded to Jesus...to the Trinity...a match made in heaven! Someone with whom you will indeed live happily ever after! <===AN UNDERSTATEMENT! (See all of the above and all the Bible verses!) Be extremely heartened that it is His Promise to ensure you remain uncut from Him and His best for you! Nothing can separate you from the love of Christ!


Applicable and confirming Bible verses follow in the next post...

Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD...

Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Malachi 2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared Me, and was afraid before My name.

Malachi 3:6, 10-12 For I am the LORD, I do not change...Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. "And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, so that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field," Says the LORD of hosts; and all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a delightful land," says the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."

John 10:10, 28-30...I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly...And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand. I and My Father are one.

John 14:1-6, 9-11, 15-17 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know...Jesus saith...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me...he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father...the words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works' sake...If you love Me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever--the Spirit of truth.

John 15:9-11 As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you: continue ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

John 17:3, 11, 21-23 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent...And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through Thine own name those whom thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are...That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.

Romans 8:35, 37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and His paths beyond tracing out! "Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?" "Who has ever given to God, that God should repay Him?" For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever! Amen.

Ephesians 4:1-6 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 2:5-16 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life...

1 Timothy 6:14-16 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in his own time--God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To Him be honor and might forever. Amen.

Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for Himself a people that are His very own, eager to do what is good.

Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 6:17-18 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

Hebrews 13:5-6, 8 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." So we say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?"...Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

James 4:6-8 But He giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you.

1 Peter 1:3-9 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

1 Peter 5:6-10 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Jude 1:24-25 To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy--to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

I had a dream last night that has been worrying me, but I can't quite explain why. For background information, I am facing criminal charges in court... which kind of is a lead in to the dream. I have been worried about this, because I have been out of direct contact with my lawyer, (I finally got in contact with him today, and frankly, it didn't sound confidence-inspiring)

In my dream, I was walking through my city - brisbane - it was recognisable as such, and for some reason, I had this idea that I was being followed. I started to run, but I was running basically around this one city block, I was fighting with the crowds to get through, to get away, but I could only just stay one step ahead of the people who were chasing me.

I saw two policemen asking questions of someone, showing them a photo, and I tried to speed up, to get away... I ran into a friend of mine, a friend who has been very supportive at this time, yet I hadn't spoken to him in years. I ran into him twice in the dream, which was odd... I brushed past him once on the street, and then about 10 meters further down the street, I ran into him again, and this time I said "I can't stop and talk now, brendan, I have to go." And then I kept running, back to the place where I had started. I then ran into my brother in the dream, and he stopped me and said "I'm sorry, i couldn't save your password, I couldn't save your publisher..." I took this to mean that my computer had been confiscated... as my laptop had been back in may.

I kind of collapsed (in the dream) at this point, and the dream ended.

(on another not-unrelated note, my computer decided to break down later this morning... weird.)

Thanks

God's peace be multiplied to you indeep!

Your dream seems to say that you been going in circles, not making much progress, symbolized by running around a city block. You been hard pressed on many sides symbolized by trying to fight through the crowds and that you been trying to outrun your problems shown by staying just one step ahead. Picture a rebel prisoner being led to a judge with a cop on each side, so surmising that the 2 policemen represent God strong-arming you into facing up to the consequences of your misdeeds?

Brendan could symbolize Jesus who you may have been brushing past and or running from, even though He will be very supportive of you, especially to bring you through your trying times! Jesus is your friend that sticks closer than a brother! His aim, to lead you in triumph, in victory, so that you do make progress, so that you do grow strong and mature spiritually!

Joshua 1:9 Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Psalm 46:1 God is [your] refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

A COMPANY OF HEAVENLY-MINDED CAMPANOLOGISTS!
By Catherine Brown
www.gatekeepers.org.uk

"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Matthew 24:36 (NIV)

On Sunday evening just before I went to bed, I had a vision of Jesus ringing a small handheld bell. Puzzled at the picture before me, I asked, "What are you doing Lord?" He replied, "I want to teach my children the art of heavenly campanology."

As you can imagine, I was somewhat perplexed (probably much as you are now. <smile>). I paused in my mind and thought about what campanology meant. I reached for the dictionary to refresh my memory, which stated "the art or practice of bell ringing."

A SPIRITUAL RIDDLE

The Lord was gracious and patient with me as I pondered this spiritual riddle! He spoke to me again. In the vision he held the bell out to me and said, "Would you like to try?"

Feeling rather clumsy and awkward I said, "Lord, I can't do that. I don't know how."

Still smiling, Jesus said, "It's funny, child, but that is what all my children say the first time I ask them this question."

With this, the Lord permitted me to see back in time, and I saw a line of anointed men and women of God who have preached the Gospel with power and compassion down through history. The Lord revealed how they had each taken a turn to line up and learn how to play the bell that Jesus was holding in his hand! Amongst them I saw John Wesley, George Whitefield, William J. Seymour, Martin Luther King, Kathryn Kuhlman, Smith Wigglesworth, and countless other preachers and revivalists. They appeared to have had the same conversation with Jesus as I was currently experiencing.

LEARNING TO IMITATE JESUS

I was still feeling slightly confused, but felt encouraged to "have a go." The Lord began to ring the bell in his hand, and I also took up a small bell in my hand and started to play. It really was a wonderful experience playing a tune on the bell with Jesus, and I was amazed at how easy it was when I concentrated on following Christ and His lead; it was so simple to echo and imitate what He was doing. The harmony was beautiful. I felt wrapped up in unity with Jesus.

When the vision ended I was left with a sense of the strategic nature of what I had just seen, but had not yet fully understood. I prayed for wisdom and discernment and slowly the spiritual conundrum began to make sense. Deep in thought and prayer, I earnestly pursued the fullness of comprehending the message Jesus had shown me. Holy Spirit spoke to my heart, "Child, what you have seen and heard is about listening to my Spirit; it is about understanding the times, it's about heralding the message from heaven, and it's about being in harmony and unity with heaven. It's about healing and it's about salvations."

HERALDS OF THE GOOD NEWS

I started to think about occasions when bells are rung in communities, cities, and nations. I pondered how bells are rung to warn us in times of crisis, such as war and times of national disaster. Bells are rung to gather people together, often to announce critical/crucial information. Sometimes bells are rung for celebration (such as a wedding or church service), but often bells are rung to let people know of impending disaster, gathering people together to make preparations and prepare rescue plans.

I recapped on the vision, and heard the Spirit of the Lord say, "I am seeking a company of heavenly-minded campanologists, those who are willing to be heralds of the Good News."

WAKE UP CHURCH! JESUS IS COMING BACK!

In my heart of hearts, I had a profound sense of the importance of understanding the time and context of such a message and call from God the Father in this hour. It occurs to me that very few of us could sleep through the sound of a bell ringing. Similarly, Jesus does not want us to sleep through this wake up call to the church. The spiritual symbolism of the bell in the hand of Jesus is a wake up call to the church to rise up and preach the Good News, because time is of the essence. God loves us too much to allow us to die in sin, and so he is sending a wake up call to the church and the nations of the world. Father wants to remind us, in his mercy, that Jesus is coming back.

In the vision, as long as I concentrated on imitating Christ, I was able to follow the Master with ease. We, as believers, need only focus on following Jesus and we will be fully equipped in his love, grace, and power to share the Good News of the Gospel. No matter how nervous we may feel, or how little experience we may or may not have, no matter our age, our gender, our social standing, our culture, Jesus calls us to be heralds in His hands to allow the message of God's love to ring out loud and clear in our lives, from our hearts, in our words and deeds and thoughts. We must proclaim and declare the Gospel with boldness. Let our minds be full of Christ and our mission be to say and do what we hear our Father saying and doing. May each one of us walk in the reality that we are revival flames in His hands. Each one of ours hearts set ablaze with love for Jesus, each one of us longing for souls with His passion.

ALL FOR JESUS

God is releasing a fresh anointing on the earth to raise up an end-time army of preachers, revivalists, and those who will bring healings and salvations to the multitudes in the name of Jesus Christ. We may be nearer to the second coming of Jesus Christ than we realize. Only Father knows the time of Jesus' Second coming, but we are called to prepare and be ready for that time. Dear child of God, open your heart today and receive a fresh anointing to share the love of God. Trust Jesus to give you words to say and pray. Release your resources into mission. Give with a glad heart of your time, your energy, and your heart. It's all for the glory of Jesus.

Lord, we desire to be your company of heavenly-minded campanologists!

Blessings in Christ,

I see a little girl and call out to her. She comes to me and as she gets closer, I see she has a knife. She tries to stab me, but I wrestle her and put her in a tight bear hug so that she can't cut me. I call the police, but they say that they are too busy. So I start talking to her. We get along, so still holding her, we go to a restaurant and as we talk, I weaken my hold. She sees a knife sitting nearby and lunges for it and tries to stab me again. I again wrestle with her and put her into another bear hug. I see a sheriff at the restaurant and I ask for his help, but he says he's too busy as he stuffs a jelly donut into his mouth. I push the little girl into his chest and put his arms around her in a hug. I walk away. As I get to the door, I hear her voice calling to me. I turn around and she is no longer a child, but an adult woman. She has sorrow and loss in her eyes. Then I walk out the door.
