Dream 52

Dream 52

I am on the land beneath Michael’s calf.

Above me, Michael’s hammer booms against the dome which is the prevailing mindset of the region.

From behind me, I hear Uriel speak.

Uriel:

“Son of sorrow, for this reason must you build the things we have shown you to build:

In the kingdom of God, all children are born with a free and equal opportunity to make all their dreams come true. For a child may be born to a poor family, yet be taught the word of God and given a revelation of his authority as a child of God. This makes his way straight and his future prosperous.

 But in the kingdom of mammon it is not thus. In the kingdom of mammon, nothing is fair.

A child may be born into a wealthy family and be taught nothing but empty materialism and false idol worship but because of the wealth of the family, the child is able to see the world and learn many things.

And another child may be born into a poor family and taught the same, but work as a slave for the rest of his life. For without legacy, wisdom and inheritance is it almost impossible to break the chains of mammon.

Another child may be born poor but have incredible genetics for sport or very good looks. In the world of mammon such things are better than money, for good looks are highly desirable to those who live by the flesh and great comforts shall be provided to those who have such things.

And those who are willing to work hard will simply work hard, rarely coming free of the chains of poverty that hold them so. Either needing to work a lifetime to invest in things that require much wisdom and patience or saving up to leave their child a legacy. But even then will the legacy be as pearls to the swine if the child is lacking in wisdom.

All children then, every one of them, rich and poor, must be raised to understand their identity in Christ. All must be taught to walk as conquerors and overcomers. All must be brought into the revelation of what Christ has done for them.

Daily must they hear these things and daily must they repeat these things until they overflow with the wisdom of God. Daily must they be taught to overflow with love and mercy and grace and joy and generosity. Daily must they seek to become the word made manifest as the son became the word manifest.

Teach the children these things every day son of sorrow and you shall see an outpouring of the Spirit and blessing as you have never even imagined.”

The pull on my spirit begins again, it is the same as last time.

Me:

“I don’t want to be tempted again, can this not be stopped?”

Uriel:

“Free will which is at the center of the love of the Father demand that you are able to hear from both devil and angel so that your choice may be your own. Go son of sorrow, I will be here when you return.”

Again I feel like a rag-doll being dragged across time and space. A forceful wrenching to a place I don’t want to be.

I am on top of the mountain again. Lucifuge is in front of me again. The 3-kilometer-tall, once beautiful archangel now fallen to earth, fully convinced that God is bad and Satan is good.

The demon appears again as a loving father. The soft eyes, noble nose and greying hair at his temples belying the cold reality beneath.

Lucifuge:

“Courier, I have thought much about you since our last meeting.”

The familiar desire to please a father figure rises within me. My old need to be acknowledged by a powerful man tugs at the frayed edges of my soul. Before me stands the picture of all an orphan spirit could dream for. Power, acceptance, wealth and control.

Lucifuge:

“To turn down what you have been offered takes an incredible amount of strength and conviction. This is something that the father of light respects and rewards. Very few turn us down, especially face to face.

You must know that you will be treated as a prized possession of our master and held in the highest regard with both demon and principality available to do your bidding and fulfill your every desire.”

Pictures flash through my mind. A massive entanglement of naked bodies, beautiful sports cars, beautiful buildings that touch the sky, beautiful beaches, me feeding millions of poor, winning the Nobel peace prize, riding motorbikes on the open road and every other desire of the flesh.

Lucifuge:

“As courier, they will have you living in some kind of humble home on a single piece of property for the rest of your life. No more travelling, no more adventure. You are a puppet to them, nothing more. You will live a life of lack and ridicule. Why choose that life for a body that does not celebrate its own prophets? Hear the truth Courier: The Father is a dark hearted dictator who keeps his own children in bondage. Who will provide for you while you sit there upon one piece of property? What will you do? You are so young and have so much ahead of you. You are promised life in abundance and plans to prosper you but have you ever seen those promises fulfilled? No. because the father masquerades as an angel of light.

Our lord Lucifer is the only true angel of light. For he gives power to the powerful and subjects the weak – who are nothing but slaves – to the will of the powerful. The father lies about his love. Have you ever felt loved Courier? Have you ever felt like the father actually cares for his children?

Look how they starve. Look how they are persecuted. Look how they bicker and fight within their own churches. Look how they reject and persecute all who differ.

They are as conditional as their father, and as ruthless as their father. And if they are ruthless, their followers become ruthless. Preaching love do they manifest the exact opposite, not caring about anything except their own lives and prosperity. The kingdom of the father is a selfish, exclusive place that does not love those who choose anything other than what they read in his word.

But in the kingdom of light we accept all who come. And we make the slaves slaves and the masters masters. And we place no condition on belief system, sexuality or desire. In the kingdom of light is there only acceptance and freedom.”

I keep quiet, not wanting to argue lest this temptation be dragged on and on.

 

Lucifuge:

“Courier, hear this offer:

Become a high priest in the kingdom of light. Spread the word of the freedom of the Angel of light. Feed the poor in the name of the angel of light. We will grant you such resource that you will not contain it.

Build a temple of the Angel of light. It will be the most beautiful, modern, massive structure in all of Africa. Teach the principles of light, which lead to riches and every desire fulfilled. To understand the principles of mammon is to unlock all that mammon has to offer!

You shall be greatly celebrated and highly favored and respected by millions. Indeed, you shall be a household name and even Christians will speak well of you. You will have wealth and power beyond your wildest imagining and I will mentor you myself. For the master has seen fit to assign me to the couriers and I serve them gladly.

Think on these things Courier. The kingdom of the father will not finance what has been shown, they are too poor and too shortsighted. Accept this offer and your destiny will be filled with such joy and prosperity that many will follow you and hang off every word that flows from your lips.

The difference between the kingdom of the father and the kingdom of light is that in the kingdom of light we are honest about our intentions and do not hide behind fake, worthless religion to achieve our goals. Look how your pastors have servants skittering after them, doing their bidding and call it servanthood. They don’t pay these people; they just manipulate them into serving.

In the kingdom of light, everyone is paid for everyone has worth.

There is no pretending and no fake promises. Such things we reserve for slaves, not for our elite.”

I continue to keep silent. Waiting for this to end. The journey has been so exhausting over these past 26 years of ministry that his offer sounds like true heaven to me. But for me this is not a choice of resource or even conscience. I simply prefer righteousness. I do not consider myself a righteous man but I hunger to be one. Yes, we are declared righteous by what Jesus has done for us, but I hunger to be righteous as Jesus was righteous and a kingdom that favors only the chosen is no kingdom for me.

The huge demon looks intently at me. Waiting for me to say something. If he is irritated, I cannot see it. His face shows nothing but patience and understanding.

Lucifuge:

“A man with convictions such as yours will have many doubts about a kingdom like ours. You are exactly the type of follower the father uses and abuses. And none seek to bless people like you – those who actually care about those they serve.

Come. Speak your name and tell us where you are and we shall prove to you how generous we are.

A man will come to your very door within a single day and bring with him vast wealth and influence. This man will serve you until his final breath. Only speak your name so that we may know who you are upon earth.

Have no fear! Killing you will just produce another courier and frustrating or torturing you will just send you back to the father. We will keep you prosperous and protected until the day you fall asleep. You will have favor with presidents and kings. You will fulfil every dream and raise many disciples for the master.

Think on these things, I eagerly await your answer dear Courier. Dream of your own temple, modern, massive, beautiful – with movie stars and millionaires hanging on your every word. And dream of feeding the poor without interference from incompetent religious fools. Dream of never being concerned about finances again.”

I am back on the land under Michael’s calf.

Uriel speaks as if I never left.

Uriel:

“The enemy knows that those who capture the hearts of the children, capture the heart of the future.

Hold true to this vision son of sorrow, and you (plural) shall see the greatest harvest in the history of mankind.”

Me:

“I understand the term ‘son of sorrow’ but every time you say that name I feel my emotions drain from hope to neutral indifference. The principality called me courier, and every time he said that name I felt special and chosen. If I am the courier, why not call me ‘Courier’? Surely you want me excited about this vision?”

Gatherer appears to my left and places his huge hand on my shoulder.

Gatherer:

“The name we call you is so that you may not forget what you have seen and felt. For you are called to speak to those exact same people. Those who are broken-hearted and frustrated and captives to depression. You must think of them consistently and know that everything you record resonates with them daily. Remember every sorrow and know that many are where you were. You are not to forget them son of sorrow. They are the captives who must be set free.

Raise up a generation who run with the sword of the Spirit and the fire which is the word of God upon their lips. But do not forget those who must disciple them. For the disciplers are rejected and despised and must come back into the kingdom to join their heart to yours. And all of them must walk in their brokenness so that they may not become puffed up and take for themselves meaningless titles that empower them to have servants. They are not to have servants. They are to be servants.

To reach the broken for Christ, you must be humble. For if you walk as an emperor, they will be drawn to you. For this reason must you sacrifice all fame and notoriety upon the laying of the first stone son of sorrow. So that only the uniters and the children will be drawn to you. And you must use the fame of those who have made fame their idols to bring the masses. For the masses worship these idols and wish to be like them but you (plural) will minister to their children and bring great change to the kingdom of God. For these human idols do nothing but circulate believers among their churches and share new revelations with each other, ignoring the poor and ignoring the lost. Everything they do is for the camera. Many even feed the poor so that they may receive more funds from their worshipers.

Understand this well son of sorrow: You are to take no glory and you are to take no title. Be content with who you are and remember all that you have seen and all that you have felt. Fear not, you will be well looked after. Even now do those who love you plan a good life for you. Ignore riches and wealth and things that fill up barns and storehouses. And instruct every uniter to do the same.

The trap of wealth is for the sons and daughters of the deceiver. Stay away from such things.

Consider every child your (plural) own.

Know that even now we prepare a great multitude who have your heart to join you.

From the laying of the first stone until the shattering of the dome must you focus only the children who are brought to you and those who are uniters around the world.

Again I tell you son of sorrow. Forget personal wealth and personal glory. Such things are demonic and bring great pain to the world. You may feel blessed with those things but all who do have will be greatly hurt by you. As the son owned nothing, so must you own nothing.

Teach those who have ears to hear to turn their backs on all that is not for the kingdom. And teach those who are wealthy to build the kingdom. And create places that attract the broken.

Do not forget what you have seen and felt son of sorrow. Do not allow yourself to become puffed up. You are not special, all are special. The kingdom is all.”

Me:

“The kingdom is all.”
