Well gc...

Tiz possible this vision could be a confirmation of actual volcanoes that are presently erupting. One in Alaska is. ;) To God Most High, a volcano would look like a little mound of ground. ^_^

Dunno if these represent the hardheaded people you been steering clear of? Some of them may blow their 'tops' when trying to witness to them? The verses I previously quoted for you would confirm to remember that ornery people are dust, so not to be afraid of their steam! Tiz only a smokescreen in an attempt to dissuade you from persisting in speaking the Eternal Truth to them.

A wonderful read indeed! Learning to trust God even and especially in the midst of turmoil!

Given to Lillis Boyer

(For several months now the Lord has been catching me up into the third heavens, and showing me His heavenly garden)

I was on my face before Him, praying in my heavenly language and waiting on Him. All day long I had been engaged in heavy spiritual warfare, and I lay there feeling totally helpless and crying out for Him to come rescue me. Suddenly I was aware of large satin-like white ripples of liquid streaming toward me. This satin-like liquid was unlike any kind of 'water' I had ever seen before. It was not transparent like water, and it gently flowed from high above somewhere, almost like a waterfall.

This liquid felt soft and smooth and warm, and it flowed to me in large ripple-like waves. They pulsated in a rhythmic flow, and were evenly spaced. They almost looked like liquid ribbon candy.

These satiny ripples seemed to take direct aim on me. I suddenly felt them cover me like a blanket, and wrap me tightly up like a cocoon. They wrapped me so tightly I could not move, and as this satin 'blanket' engaged me, forming my body in a fetal position. I felt like a baby wrapped in a security blanket. The texture of the satin liquid changed after it had wrapped me, for I could feel its softness touching my face. It felt like the softest cotton I could imagine.

Whereas before my heart had been overwhelmed with much turmoil and worry, suddenly I realized my heart was at complete rest! I felt totally cradled in His love. I felt total peace. All fears were completely gone. In fact, I wondered if I had entered eternity, because my soul felt so utterly at rest! Oh how I wanted to lay there forever, and never get up! Then the Spirit spoke and said THIS IS MY GIFT OF CHILDLIKE TRUST. WHENEVER FEAR, WORRY OR DOUBT WAGE WAR AGAINST YOUR SOUL, LET MY RIVER OF TRUST OVERTAKE YOU AND ENFULF YOU, SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.

Psalm 37:3-7 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. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret...

Psalm 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn...Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalm 91:14-16 "Because he loves Me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation."

Psalm 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Hey, Humblebee. The Lord's put it on my heart to start recording any dreams I have and then bring them here, so I'm going to. It's a shame - I've had dreams in the past I KNOW meant something, but I've since forgotten them. If I remember any of them, you can be sure I'll bring them here...

Last night my dream was fairly simple. I dreamt I was a Jedi padawan learning to build my lightsaber. My master was explaining to me that when a lightsaber is built correctly, the energy blade will actually rotate in place (though this cannot be seen). He explained that the rotation of the blade gave it the stability to be weilded. Then, he went on to tell me that if the blade does not rotate, it would become "locked" and unstable, causing the blade to trail behind when the blade was swung. My master warned me that if the blade was locked, I risked injury when weilding the blade and that my lightsaber would likely explode, taking my arm and possibly the rest of me with it.

The strange thing is, I've never heard anything like this about a lightsaber in real life (if you can't tell, I'm a bit of a Star Wars buff.) Only thing I can think of is a slight connection with my friend Preston, with whom I've played a number of Star Wars related games, in fact we're about to start a new roleplay set in a Star Wars campaign. Any thought of Preston has significance because he's a Pagan, and I've been praying for his salvation for some time now, and praying that if I am to have a hand in it, I'd do it and do it well.

What do you think?

Hey there IonHelen,

Believing your dream an exhortation to ensure that your life has a firm foundation built upon the principles of the Word of God, the True Sword of the Spirit! :D Hiding the Word of Truth in your heart will help give you emotional stability, keener discernment for wise decision making, and a stronger witness. If your life does not revolve around Christ and His Word, meaning much affected by His Commandments, living the Word, then you will spin out of control. The warning would be you must learn to yield and submit to the Holy Spirit's leading, especially when witnessing, otherwise you may risk causing unnecessary friction and conflict. No one likes to be force-fed the Gospel. The Spirit knows best how and when to woo each person to Christ. ;) Also practice what you preach. Avoid the 'do as I say, not as I do' syndrome. Preaching to others in pride, yet not holding oneself accountable will explode, causing much offense and divisiveness in friendship.

The most effective way to witness to a friend is by making them thirsty for Jesus by how you treat them. :hug:

Feast upon these Bible verses:

Joshua 1:8 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.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Isaiah 33:6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the LORD is His treasure.

Matthew 7:24-29 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

John 12:49-50 For I did not speak of My own accord, but the Father who sent Me commanded Me what to say and how to say it. I know that His command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told Me to say.

Colossians 3:16-17 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.

1 Timothy 4:12-16 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

James 1:22-25 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. :clap:

HumbleBee,

I think this is it for now unless something else comes to me:D Im not sure how to take this one eventhough the picture was beautiful.

I saw the earth rotating on its' axis. & then hand in hand circling the globe were children with each wearing a costume of differing native peoples. While I saw this I heard the most incredible heavenly children's choir singing this song.

"Sing unto the Lord...Sing a new song. Sing unto the Lord...Sing a new song" & that was it. For awhile I thought of the great commision, but now I dunno would appreciate your input lady:wave:

& thanks for all the verses you gave me..I intend to hold on to them.

gracechick! What a wonderful vision! The earth rotating on its axis would seem to exhort ongoing praising our great Lord who is always up to somtin new! :clap: As is He pleased with unity! Answering you with the Word...:D

Psalm 8 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise because of Your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that You are mindful of him, the son of man that You care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!

Psalm 96 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; shew forth His salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people. For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before Him: strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto His name: bring an offering, and come into His courts. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: He shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD: for He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth: He shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with His truth.

Psalm 113:1-3 Praise the LORD. Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Psalm 133 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.

Psalm 147:12-13 Both young men and maidens; old men and children. Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.

Isaiah 43:18-19 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

Isaiah 65:17 Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

Matthew 21:12-16 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them. But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” they were indignant and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise?”

Ephesians 4:1-6 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

(For the past several months He has been taking me on 'tours' of His 'heavenly garden'...)

I was worshipping and dancing to Him in my prayer room. Suddenly the Spirit whisked me up into His heavenly garden. I found myself beneath a willow-like tree; it had 'weeping-like' branches that hung low. I could not see the top of the tree, but only the branches at my eye level. But these branches were glorious and intriguing by themselves! Each branch was covered wih beautiful jewel-like flowers jewels, that not only glistened like diamonds but also were like little chimes.

There were multitudes of other dancers dancing beneath this tree, weaving in and out between the graceful branches of this tree. As my body brushed against a branch, a beautiful 'twinkly' chime-like melody would come forth! This was not only a beautiful tree to look at, but it was also a muscial instrument! I began to whirl around faster and faster, each time brushing a branch with my hands, and 'playing' beautiful celestial melodies! No two melodies were alike; the possible melodies were endless. If I slowly brushed my hand through the branches, then a slow flowing twinkling melody would come forth. If I brushed fast and vigorously, then a stronger brighter melody would come. Oh how delightful it was to dance beneath this tree! Each dancer beneath this tree was making his/her own 'symphony' of praise to the Creator!

I noticed that everything in this garden was a musical instrument. Music was flowing from everything, and just brushing against a tree, flower, or even stepping on the foliage beneath my feet was like having an endless amount of heaveny melodic percussion instruments at my disposal.

The Lord then instructed me to come closer and observe the leaves on the branches of this tree of praise and worship. It's hard to accurately describe the color of the leaves, but they were unlike any leaf I had seen on earth. They were a purple-pink iridescent color, and on the surface I noticed a shiny glaze substance, that resembled a dew or frost. God told me to taste this heavenly 'glaze'. I touched a leaf, and scraped off a portion of the mysterious substance. I placed a small amount on my tongue! Wow! I had never tasted such sweetness! Incredible joy and thankfulness bubbled forth from my spirit, and I HAD to resume my dancing to Him! It was as if I had tasted 'heavenly manna' and this manna gave me divine energy and desire to worship Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength!

Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Mark 12:29-31 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Revelation 22:1-7 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Hi Humble,

Not sure if this dreams mean anything or not but it doesn't hurt to see :) . This morning I had a dream that I was driving a cream and gold escalade. I was driving cautiously like I wasn't used to driving a car that big before. I was somewhat familiar with the area I was driving in but I wasn't familiar with the street names. Once I got back on a familiar street I looked down and noticed that my gas tank was on Empty. I remember praying for God's provision that he would allow me to get to where I'm going. I made it to the gas station and that's about all I remember of the dream.

Here you go God'sJewel...cream as in cream of the crop, the best of, and gold could symbolize Jesus and you choosing to live for Him and His righteousness. This brings you into His protection, even into much responsibility (big car) and sometimes into unfamiliar territory...new experiences. You may wonder if you have enough courage and spiritual stamina (gas in your tank) to see you through. Yet as you keep looking to God, He will ensure you make it to your next filling station...giving you time to recuperate both spiritually and physically. :D

Your dream could also be a cautioning...that as you stay within the boundaries that God sets for you as a young person...you will experience His timely provision...if you venture away from your Good Shepherd...then you distance yourself from His resources.

I had a vision of a person stamping their feet and remaining in the same spot. They stamped long and hard and the ground was hard beneath them. The arms moved as if in a march. I wondered why they never moved forward. As I looked, I noticed that they stamped in a rhythm. Then the Lord spoke this to me:


This is YOUR year. This is the beginning of the start. You still are at the starting line, you are still preparing. Victory and victorious are the words I give you for this year. Soon you will march forwards, with determination, with success, for am I not at your side and did I not say that I am with you ALWAYS, even unto the ends of the earth.


You have been prepared for a time such as this. While you wept as one forgotten in the shadows and others succeeded before you, while you walked the lonely and cold places and while you searched with wet eyes for a place for you, I watched and I fed you, I clothed you, I called you mine, and I had a plan, always, I had a purpose. How can you know pain is over if you do not experience it first? How can you know the wonder of restoration if you have not suffered loss? Even in those sad times, I was working to turn everything into good. Listen and remember that I am the one who restores all that the locust has eaten. All! I say all! The small and the large things, they will be restored, everything will be new.


This is the year. This is the year that the Lord hath made! Go forwards in strength, in power, blessed by the mighty God who you have looked to and waited upon. I am He who comforts, protects, blesses and I call you ready. Now you will march forwards in power, anointed. Clap your hands and rejoice. Rejoice in the morning, rejoice at midday, rejoice in the evening, always, let there be rejoicing on your lips for I have set you aside and called you by name.


Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor.

2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

Hi Humblebee,
I had the following dream and there are bits of it that are still puzzling me. All the people mentioned in the dream are people in the worship group at church. Alex is the leader. Its the second last paragraph that I find really confusing

In my dream, we were living in Bob and Chloe's's cottage. It was an awful day, very windy. Suzanne phoned and told me that Alex wasn’t coming down to the worship practice and I was very annoyed because the whole thing was his idea
.
There was a knock at the door and I answered it to find Alex there. I was a bit surprised and said I hadn’t expected him. He had his old car with him, but said he had just enough petrol to go into town because he was buying a new car. That was why they thought he wasn’t coming! He looked pretty windswept and as I looked at the weather, the sky looked really strange. One half, the half behind my house was the normal, fluffy, storm clouds, but the half in front looked like there was glass underneath it and big drops of black, gray and white paint was dropping on to it and merging. I felt a strong sense of foreboding.

We huddled inside the cottage and Alex said ‘Don’t upstage her’ and I got the feeling he was speaking about Suzanne. Andy said ‘Have you already heard this from God?’ I looked blankly at him and shook my head. He said “Then this is the word of the Lord to you –‘Don’t upstage her’” and he added, ‘Now that’s stopped you being bunged up!’

Then he went on to tell me about a phone call in which she had spoken about how much she did for the worship band and that she thought she was an integral part of it. That’s where it ended.

Shalom

Only by a year. Mostly we get on fine together and have childern of similar ages, at the same school etc. Do you think that I should take a sabbatical from the worship group until God works whatever he is going to in her or whoever? Or, rather, do you think that this is what God is saying to me?

HumbleBee said:
God's great peace be multiplied to you v8!

Would seem Suzanne is the focal point of your dream...that she may feel in competition with you. She would rather you not go to the worship practice, so that you don't upstage her. Is she perhaps younger than you?

well v8,

Our heavenly Father seeks those who worship Him in spirit and in truth. What a blessing to be sought of the Father! :D So don't let someone else's ego run you out and away from your blessings. Obviously, you have an anointing upon your life...those with less anointing will feel in competition with you...hold your post and your peace, as you iron sharpening iron. Do pray of course, if you feeling the need for a Sabbatical?

From Mike

I had this dream...It was very short...yet I remember it clearly.

I dreamt I was reading my Bible. I don't remember which book, chapter or verse. Yet, as I was reading, ALL the words in the Bible were a blur. Nothing was clear. I needed glasses (could represent spiritual glasses or vision) to read what was being said. Yet, I knew EXACTLY what it was saying even though I couldn't read any of it. It was like God Himself was telling me what was being read. God was literally my "glasses."

Suddenly, a few words from the Bible came off the page. Everything else was still a blur. The words that came off the page were a blur also, until they got bigger and closer to me. Suddenly, floating in thin air off the page, were the words in front of me. I knew exactly what it was saying now.

Then, I woke up. I looked at the clock and it read 5:06am. I felt wide awake. I got up, went for a glass of water, then crawled back into bed. Then, I remembered EXACTLY which words flew off the page in the dream. They read...

"Woe to those who compromise the gospel message to fit with society."

Those words went through my head over and over again. I also remembered the Scripture verse which says...

"The time is coming when they will not endure sound doctrine...but will turn to fables and teachers with itching ears..."

We are DEFINITELY living in that time now. People today want entertainment. They want VISUAL. If it sounds right or good, then okay. If it doesn't fit within my lifestyle, then it's not for me.

We are living within the last days of human history folks. Many are no longer interested in the "pure" gospel message. They want to turn to myths and fables for more clarification first. Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings...the list goes on. People need myths and fables and monsters to make the original messages clear. What happened??? We don't need to change the gospel message to fit within society. We are witnessing to the world...not the world to us.

I believe the blurriness of the words of the Bible in my dream represented those who do not understand. They don't have spiritual eyes or insight from God. They call themselves "Christians" yet "have the form of godliness and deny it's power."

We must seek for Holy Spirit discernment and empowerment!

Yes Im back again lady:D

What are your impressions of this dream please *if you will*.

Im in a hallway & realise that Pastor Daniel is running in a local election for mayor against some other pastor A & I have no clue who he is. Then in the doorway I say loudly we need to vote for pastor A, bcause I've decided he is the one to choose. When I realised how rude I had appeared I leaned in the doorway & appologized to Pastor Dan.

I have met Pastor Dan & like & respect him, but for some reason I choose some guy I don't know from Adam. Im not totally sure why I was so rude???

Then my friend & I are sitting down in this auditorium & I have my coat over my shoulders & she is wrapped in a quilt, bcause we're cold???Sitting next to us are two guys that have interest in us & we're sort of flirting with them bfore the meeting starts(sort of like it's years bfore we met & married our husbands).

We are sitting more towards the back. I look down over the crowd to the front & both pastors have walked in & are facing each other. I was thinking either they're going to announce the winner or this is some sort of debate. Then I wake up.

Glad to see you posting here gracechick! :D

Hallway, as in long hall, is a play on words, long haul and tends to symbolize the future. Your dream could be a Divine foretelling of a coming faceoff between Pastor Daniel and Pastor A. Mayor in Latin means greater, superior. So would seem Pastor Dan may have a competitive spirit and pride issues?

You saying loudly that you'd vote for the other pastor seems to indicate that Pastor Dan may have been already rude to you, hurt you with his words, maybe ignored you, so you were just acting out of self-preservation, which sounds like exactly what he doing...preserving himself, to win as many 'votes' as possible to be the best pastor. Though in the process, he not recognizing the toes he stepping on, as he tries to be really friendly to many a people.

Would seem that you thought this Pastor Dan was a friend, yet he has since given you the cold shoulder and hence why you would be so hurt. However, the 2 guys next to you and your friend would seem to imply a double dating type relationship...that you and Pastor Dan's wife (assuming he is married) will be of great spiritual comfort (quilt) to one another. :hug:

The end of your dream seems a call to patient humility, as God works out Pastor Dan's pride. :prayer: Though his seemingly superior attitude may be camouflaged, these verses shed light on what is truly better...

Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Yes, Humblebee I think I can see some of this.

I don't really know Pastor Dan all that well he pastors a church we have attended a few meetings of...& we are waiting to see what God directs my family to do rite now.

He seems to have a friendly attitude toward everyone...maybe even sort of trying to win popularity points just like the voting symbol appears to suggest. Almost as if he deals with the need for approval perhaps.

Anyway I thank God for your gift lady, bcause I really need someone to bounce these messages off of. When the Spirit says something I want to know I've got as an accurate understanding as possible.

Blessings blessings blessings Lady:D

This dream comes from LadySwiss, who confirmed my interpretation, as she had already received a prophecy about new wine! TY JESUS!

***In the dream I was (as usual) watching what was happening, and I "heard" many voices, people were happy and there was much light. As I "heard" all this, I didn't see any person, but there was a long long table which was quite narrow, with I would say maybe hundreds of handbags, all shapes and sized, colours and forms. I heard these women as they chuckled together, and they seemed very satisfied with the outcome of that meeting. I went to search for my handbag in the midst of all those pile of handbags which were so pretty. But I realised that my handbag wasn't amidst them. I was so surprised, as I made the remark, "but I cannot understand how someone could choose to take my tiny rather shabby handbag, when all these beautiful handbags are filled with so many riches"........ even as I think of this dream, I wonder where my handbag went, and who could have taken such a miserly bag as mine. I have a feeling that I don't understand something important...***

Would seem this dream about you being long set apart by God. The narrowness of the table could refer to the verse advising difficult and narrow is the way leading to true life. You may feel like you missing fun fellowship, however your dream shows that the ladies in the group are self-satisfied with an outward appearance of righteousness and with earthly riches. A woman's purse could represent her heart, so your handbag wasn't there because your heart is for Christ and not for earthly treasures like the others. Bursa is another word for purse and in Greek it means wineskin, fitting the description of your handbag. These women would seem to be content drinking old wine of the world. You are a new wineskin filled with new wine from above, hence your Divine separation...as new wine will burst old wineskins, as would old wine burst new wineskins.

Job 32:18-20 For I am full of words; the spirit within me compels me. Indeed my belly is like wine that has no vent; it is ready to burst like new wineskins. I will speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

Matthew 6:19-21 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Mark 2:22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins.
