Dream 33
I am above the earth, somewhere above the atmosphere looking down at Africa.The continent is dark with lots of little lights concentrated on the southern tip. It gets darker towards the north with smaller and smaller clusters of light. Most of the clusters are separate, working to push back the darkness alone and isolated.
Suddenly I am able to hear the prayers of every missionary in the field. At first it is a confusing crowd roar but then I am able to tune into single sources by focusing on individual lights.
Some pray for the power to do miracles, some pray for the people under their care, but all pray for money and manpower. Most sound tired and desperate. All of them work long hours in impossible conditions to alleviate the hell on earth before their eyes every day. Builder appears next to me and listens for a while with me.
Me:
“If these are busy with the work of God, why does God not magically make money appear?”
Builder:
“The free will of man is at the very centre of the Father’s love. Even the smallest violation of your ability to choose is control. Love does not control, it celebrates choice and loves regardless. If man does not choose to help man, the Father cannot violate that choice.”
Me:
“But how is it that child’s choice to suffer so or that Missionary’s choice to not have enough resources to help all of them?”
Builder:
“Mankind chooses collectively. You choose as nations. That child did not choose, those in power choose for the child. The nation elects or tolerates who is in power. They do this of their own free will. Sometimes they would rather live with a tyrant than lay their lives down to remove him. This is still choice. If the Father steps in and violates your choices, you will never be able to stand on your own feet as nations. You must choose.”
Me:
“I don’t understand how this is fair. Most African states are polluted by global financial powers who plunder the resources and destabilize the country by arming rebels. How is this their choice?”
Builder:
“The governments and rebels choose to take the money. Those who bribe them choose to give the money. They choose these things and their children suffer for it. If the Father intervenes, they will never be able to make the right choices in the future. You have to choose for yourself so that you learn for yourself. What is wreaked upon the children because of the actions of the corrupt will be brought to account in the most sever of courts at the final judgement.
But here on earth, the only way to bring fairness and justice is to expand the kingdom of God so that nations are under His rule.”
Me:
“So what? Does the Father just do nothing and let us kill each other if we so choose? I don’t understand. Where is the grace and the mercy in that? How is any of this love? I’ll serve Him either way but I would love to have a revelation about how any of this works. I can’t stand by while humanity perpetrates these mass injustices for nothing but material gain. You have shown me enough hell on this earth in these dreams to make me want to start a real army or take power in a nation to wage war on this filth.
Even knowing that our war is not against flesh and blood to I harbour bitterness at those who choose to kill, murder, rape and abuse. This earth is overdue for an asteroid or another flood.”
Uriel is now on my right. The earth far below us.
Uriel:
“The flood did not work. Even with a fresh start did you revert back to the path of the deceiver. For this reason did the Father send his son, to show the way, the truth and the life. Exactly as the son was, so should you be. For love conquers all.”
Me:
“Love did not stop those barbarians from beheading those children for their false God. Neither does it stop corporations from plundering poor nations or hellish drug cartels from peddling humans as slaves. I want to torture and kill every single one of them. And I want to watch them burn in hell.”
Uriel:
“Even if your lack of mercy was justified and the power was given to you to punish both flesh and soul would you change nothing. The Father has decreed that humanity is to find its own way and choose your own path. Those who contend against love and take upon them the nature of the deceiver will be with the deceiver for eternity, for this is what they choose. If you, as nations, choose to confirm the love of the Father, you will reap the rewards and blessings that love has to offer. For God is love and he does not force anyone to serve him or love him. He eagerly desires it so that you may live in peace and fullness of joy. To love God is to love love. For this reason is the son the fullness of the love of the father and an example of what you must be.
To take revenge only brings forth more revenge. To sow hatred only reaps more hatred. The son of God came to show the way to the kingdom of heaven which is first to forgive what seems unforgivable so that the chain reaction of hatred is stopped in its tracks.
You will not overcome evil with evil for darkness is not pushed back by darkness but by light.”
Builder:
“For this reason must you focus upon the children. They are not yet filled with the bitterness of their fathers. And though it mean you will sacrifice your very life will they see what you have done for them and become what they see in you, turning from the ways of their fathers. Surely will the fathers persecute and in some nations, take your life. But show unconditional love and provision to the children and you will have sown seeds that even the purest of hatred cannot kill. Start in South Africa and move North. Start in the USA and move South. Move from strength to strength.
When you move in mass unity, the nations of the world will move with you and offer you much protection.
For the most passionate of the Unifiers:
Start prayer paths in small towns, place special farms inside those prayer paths. Build Christian boarding schools on those properties and take inner city children out of the hostile environments. Do the same with children in the toughest slums and squatter camps in Africa and South America. Simultaneously start ministries and partner with unifiers in the toughest areas to support the missionaries in prayer. Work only with those who will pray together and work together. No single ministry will handle the harvest.
The harvest is not the challenge, it is the workers.
In places where you have enough workers, many thousands will be added to your number in a single day. Make sure that you prepare your infrastructure well and operate in excellence and administrative precision.”
Me:
“And while we stumble around in the dark trying to unite, more kids die, more women are raped and more than three BILLION people live in abject poverty. I can’t accept the fact that the Father is happy with standing aside while this goes on. I lost faith in humanity a long time ago and now only do what I am instructed to do but my soul feels like it is melting. The reality of all you show me threatens to overwhelm me at every second of every day and the fear of the complacency of man fills me with dread at yet
another adventure in deferred hope.”
We are under Michael’s calf looking at the river.
Builder, Gatherer and Uriel stand quietly and wait for my grief to subside.
I am crying. My entire body shudders with effort to express the grief that flows from my soul. The emotional pain is unbearable. I struggle to balance the immense injustice of what so many people face in the hell of extreme poverty with how heartless we are as mankind. Speaking to different ministries these past 30 days about unity in prayer and feeding schemes has left me rejected, tired and discouraged. I should not take it personally but I do.
My heart literally feels like it has broken and hope leaks out of it with every breath I take. I don’t dare give up. If my death could somehow change this hellish reality hundreds of millions of kids face every day, I would die a thousand times.
I have seen the scale of the work that must be done and my fears of an uncaring body overwhelm me. Missionaries work with limited resources and manpower. They make an impact in small villages and in some slums here and there but even with all that hard work, we are just a Gnat on an Elephant’s back. I so desperately want this vision to work, I so desperately want the body of Christ to fix the horrors of the world as it is destined to do. But I have seen so much horror, ambition and rejection within the body that I lose hope and fall into mourning.
Me:
“Remove my ability to feel emotion, let me just do my job as a worker, this pain is too much to bare.”
The three Angels wait patiently for me to calm down before Uriel speaks.
Uriel:
“The hearts of those who desire peace are easily broken. It is thus because bitter and sweet water cannot flow from the same fountain. The Holy Spirit groans as he intercedes for the saints, dealing with these same emotions every moment until the new heaven and earth are established. The Father grieves for the things done by man to man yet continues to love those who contend against love itself.
Hear this son of sorrow:
Man was not created to be hurt. Nor was man created to suffer rejection and betrayal. But to those who have the heart of the Father and witness the hell brought to earth by man, feelings of betrayal are the correct response. For the kingdom is one and you must be one as we are one so that all have the heart of the Father. And if the kingdom is one then any injustice upon one is an injustice upon all.
If a child dies of hunger in a faraway place, or is buried under the rubble in wartime, it is still our child. For the child is in the kingdom and the kingdom is one and every child is everyone’s child.
If you are of the kingdom, all that happens in the kingdom is of your concern. You cannot hear the king say one thing, see a brother do another thing and think it fine. That brother misrepresents the kingdom and thus misrepresents the heart of God.
But you who desire to see His kingdom come and His will be done must not allow these who divide to steal your focus. For they who divide and speak against those who unite are they who contend against the very heart of God.
The Son eagerly desires that you love one another. He commands that you work as a kingdom, every tribe doing its part without childish bickering and division.
To move without such things means to move without such people. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers for such people have no desire to expand the kingdom, only their own agendas.
Rejection and betrayal will break you at the core and the sons of the deceiver have no problem inflicting pain upon their brethren. Indeed, they feel that God is with them in their bitterness. But God is love and everything without love is counterfeit.
Heed these words son of sorrow:
Unite the uniters, have nothing to do with the dividers but do not stand on a mountain and shout judgement upon those who will not join you. Such is not love. If you do not walk in love, you are worse than those you judge.
God is love. God is the word. God is Spirit. Without love is the greatest move of the spirit worthless for it is counterfeit. God is truth and truth does not contradict itself.
You cannot profess to desire unity in the kingdom yet allow your broken heart to become a bitter heart. You must love all, understand all, encourage all.
Celebrate those who will pray together and work together. Do not make them bitter towards those who will not. How will you bring others to the light if you fill it with darkness? There is no ‘for us’ or ‘against us’ and there is no ‘us’ and ‘them’. You are all one, with one assignment. To be obedient to the words of the son and expand the kingdom of God. Some need healing and revelation, others are ready for unity but none are your enemy.”
Me:
“Give me the release and resources to build my own army. Let me start a church in a wealthy city and raise up millionaires who focus upon the kingdom. You ask me to give up my identity, become anonymous do nothing but write dreams all day. I want war. Let me lead. I’ll fund the missionaries myself. I’ll send the uniters what they need!”
Builder:
“You would become corrupted and prideful. Even this temptation to move from obedience shows the deceiver at work in you. One leader is an easy target for the enemy. You are the courier, you lead nothing. Be as the Holy Spirit has ordained you and do not step to the left or the right. Write what you are shown and make the vision plain. This is your part to play or have you forgotten that obedience is better than sacrifice?
Do not allow the deceiver to use your frustration against the kingdom. The Father sees every child and is at work in the hearts of mankind. Trust in him and He will do exceedingly, abundantly above all you can ask, think or imagine. Play your part, nothing else.
The uniters are to unite leaders in prayer, not to lead. The Holy Spirit will lead. Instruct them to play their part, nothing else.There is one Father, one Teacher and one King. Unity is not man leading, it is God leading. Focus upon the words of the son and do as he commands.
Those who witness with the dreams of the son of sorrow must follow the strategy within with all that they are. Others must focus as they see fit upon the Millennials and the children of the millennials. Every tribe must expand and grow for you are all in the kingdom whether you contest against it or not.
Heed these words son of sorrow:
Make the vision plain and many will run with it. Do not judge those who reject you. As the Father respects free will, so must you.
Over these next few years shall we help you deal with your frustration at all you see, for now must you be obedient to what you are shown.
Rejoice son of sorrow, this is the time of the great harvest and these will be the days of your great joy. Shout to all who will hear that this is the year of the Lord’s favour.
Make the vision plain and do not speak against the saints. Speak only love for God is love and love conquers all!”
I wake up.
