Dream 82
I am standing upon a huge rock in the middle of a raging river.
Around me, reeds and trees are washed away by the sheer force of the relentless torrent of water. On my rock I am dry and comfortable. My house upon the rock is the caravan and tent in which I live at the time of this writing. This flimsy home that offers such limited protection against the elements is safe and secure upon this huge rock. Meanwhile entire homes and trees are washed down the river beside me and I look on in dismay as people’s lives fall apart.
Uriel stands upon the rock beside me, towering two heads above me.
As usual he waits for me to take in all that I see before sharing the necessary revelation.
Uriel:
“I know this seems obvious son of sorrow. But the enemy hides the plain truth from the saints so that the Gospel may be complicated and heavy to bare.
Who is your rock?”
Me:
“Jesus.”
Uriel:
“When you say that Jesus is your rock, what would that mean for your practical life?”
Me:
“I stand upon the word and move by the Holy Spirit.”
Uriel:
“How does one practically do those things so that they become something as stable as a rock in a flooding river?”
Me:
“By faith. I stand upon the promises of God by faith.”
Uriel:
“These vague answers are the reason we are sent to bring focus to the words of the son.
Know this son of sorrow:
Full revelation of who the son is, what the will of the Father is and how to fulfill the commands of the son without regard for even the next moment is how you stand stable in the midst of a flood. For such revelation will bring forth knowledge of who you are and what it is you are supposed to do in the kingdom and for the kingdom.
Circumstances come, usually brought on by forces beyond your control. Sometimes economic, sometimes physical, sometimes relational but always emotional. It is in the midst of those circumstances that your foundation is tested.
If you lean upon lies, you shall be swept away. If you do not know who you are and what it is that you are meant to do, you shall be swept away.
Those with pure revelation of purpose cannot be swept away for they know who He is and they walk as conduits of His power, His joy and His peace. They are planted firmly upon the rock.
The vain pursuit of counterfeit joy and counterfeit peace to impress man is the the very foundation of sand that falls beneath those who fall for those traps. Seek first the kingdom of God which is firmly communicated by the son and all shall be added unto you.”
I stand upon the rock watching the water rage past us for a while.
Me:
“I have an idea of ‘all shall be added’ but I would love clarity on what that looks like.”
Uriel:
“The degree of unity determines the degree of abundance. If many stand upon the rock and do the will of the Father through obedience to the son and are therefore not influenced by ever changing circumstance, these many will create a consistent flow of abundance for all around them. Those at the mercy of the economy of this world cannot sow as they desire to, for they are trapped. But those who walk away from such things become a powerful conduit. To live in unity, as one, in love and without fear is a true manifestation of the love of God within your hearts. Instead of one in a palace and one in the dirt, all should be loved and taken care of. Even those in the dirt have worth, if they are disciplined and taught to submit to the son. Community does this. For many tongues speaking to the same ears are better than one tongue. And a man may run from a loving community but once he has slept with the pigs he shall know what he has lost.
Truly, those in community would become such a blessing to one another that they would govern the budget of a city. There is no luxurious thing that would not be available to all.
There is much strength in numbers son of sorrow and unlimited power when those numbers stand in unity with the words of the son and under the wise guidance of the Holy Spirit.
The rock is a direct result of obedience to the son and when a large ecclesia comes into unity with the word of the son, a kingdom is established upon a very large rock. For every believer joined in unity brings more faith, more talent and more resources.
Mammon does this with payment. Mammon buys the talents of man at the cheapest rates. The currency of the kingdom is love. If saints come together in love the way the world does for payment, they will receive far more than any master can pay them.
Can you not see son of sorrow? The kingdom of mammon profits off the ignorance of man. Man who thinks it is more profitable to walk alone and live alone.
In the kingdom of mammon you are blessed as little as possible to optimize profits for the masters. In the kingdom if God, no payment is necessary because the ecclesia strives to bless all abundantly.
Ecclesia governed by wise eldership, this is a blessing to all.”
Me:
“If the elders aren’t dodgy, greedy thieves who feel that there should be some kind of materialistic ranking structure.”
Uriel:
“All in authority must come under the lordship of the son and elders must be of age and mind that they are happy to be the least and receive the least. For those who yet have the fire of mammon in their veins can never be trusted. Nothing is ever enough for such people. Do not be so foolish as to trust ambitious men with the time and resource of humble men.
God may raise great, fired up young men and women to do great things. Surround these with mature elders who will not hold them back but do not give such believers authority over finances. Let the youngsters run to build the kingdom and let their faith be built upon the rock of the words of the son so that their expectations may not be on the lies of man.
Teach them that the kingdom is all! Make the vision plain, make the parameters plain, do not treat the kingdom of God like a playpen. All should know what is expected so that all are secure. Wise elders ensure such things.”
Me:
“I could have done with a team of elders like that in my youth, most of my elders either blocked my youth ministerial efforts or chased me away.!”
Uriel:
“Beware of old wine skins, they do not celebrate new wine. Every decision that is made must be in love in a spirit of legacy. They who care not for the next generation and are offended by them must not be in leadership.
Stand upon the rock – the words of the son and do everything in love. Without love you are nothing. For God is love and all who love God will do all that the son commands with love.
Perfect love casts out all fear and all that the Father does is in love. Thus to submit to the son is to walk in boldness, absent fear. Know that you (plural) are loved and celebrated by the Father and know that to build your life upon the rock is to be upon a foundation that has no fear. The Father desires abundance for all and has sent his son so that none may perish. Advance the kingdom of the son, this is the perfect will of the Father. And in doing this shall you see His will be done, His kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
The kingdom is all!
The obey every word of the son is to fulfill the perfect will of the Father.
You are blessed and highly favored!
The kingdom is all!”
Me:
“The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
