Dream 102
I stand in a massive squatter camp.
The poverty is jarring. Filthy water runs downhill from a burst pipe and pools around a dumping site where people search through foul smelling piles of garbage for things that they might eat, wear or sell.
Thousands of children go to school in old, dirty clothes, mostly barefoot or broken shoes.
I cannot stand to look at this. But there is nowhere to go and everywhere I turn is more of the same poverty.
Gatherer stands beside observing all beside us and speaks.
Gatherer:
“Look up the hill son of sorrow.”
I look up the hill and see a high wall that stretches from horizon to horizon.
Gatherer:
“Within those walls you will find hundreds of palaces. The sale of but one of them would clothe every child you see here and feed them all for a year.
But such things are ludicrous in the hearts of man. Here mammon is firmly in control and before you the fruit is made plain.
This indifference is not easily shaken. Only the Holy Spirit has the power to break through to such hardened hearts.
Hear this well son of sorrow:
To live in a palace while others starve and call it ‘context’ is to turn your back upon the Holy Spirit. There is no love in the heart of those who do not love the unwanted. Sweet and bitter water cannot flow from the same fountain and you cannot say that you are filled with God if you are not filled with the love of God. For God is love and to submit to His Lordship is to submit to love.
All that you say and do must be in love and for love. For it is love that is written upon the heart of every man and this love is the law of God. To turn your back upon love is to turn your back upon God.
This is why the sheep feed and clothe every hungry soul. They hear the voice of the shepherd and they obey.
The fire is reserved for the goats who pursue their own pleasure and comfort in this life, hardening their hearts and tuning their eyes from injustice. They have the power to bring much change but they do nothing. Lukewarm and useless to the kingdom. So God spits them out of His mouth for freely they receive but they give nothing.
And many false teachers come to tickle their ears with lies that claim you are not responsible for your actions, that the son has covered even willful disobedience with His blood. They do this so that they may become rich and powerful off those who sow into their houses of deceit.
All are chaff. They honor God with their lips but care nothing for those who starve. Hear this well son of sorrow: God is not mocked, You will reap what you sow and if you sow indifference you will reap the same from God Himself.
Instruct those who claim to be believers to work out their salvation with fear and trembling for the son commands that all are to lay down their lives for the sake of the kingdom and those who disobey the commands of the son do not love the son.
You are one whether you like it or not. If a child suffers on the other side of the planet, you are all put to shame. You are one family, held accountable for your actions collectively and alone. All will stand before the Father for their obedience or disobedience and those who have the power to save lives but do not will be treated as murderers.
The grace of God is extended to those who are obedient to the son. His grace is extended through the son to man. The son is both mediator and king. Without the son, there is no grace and without obedience to the son He does not know your name. It is thus because your heart is made know to all of creation when you refuse to love.
If you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven and in the same way, if you refuse to save those whom you have the power to save, you will not be saved yourself.
God is just and fair and His grace is sufficient for those who do His will but for those who rebel there is only the eternal harvest of their rebellion.
This is why you will see many that you did not expect to see in heaven and many that you expected to see you will not see.
Sin is conquered, death is conquered and now the heart of man is laid naked before the throne without blemish so that now fully justified, man is given the opportunity to be as Christ.
This is made known to you so that you may know the stakes involved son of sorrow. You must stay the course, unite the uniters and raise this generation in the way they should go.
Heed these words. Meditate upon them and share them with all who will hear.
It is the desire of the Father that none should perish, not a single one.
For this reason is the war in the spirit so fierce and the heart of the Father so passionate.
Too many children of the kingdom rebel against the kingdom and revel in gluttonies and luxuries at the expense of those who hunger and thirst for both food and righteousness. The expansion of the kingdom and taking the good news to the poor is everything to the Father. His heart yearns for heaven upon earth. The Holy Spirit groans and longs for the sons and daughters of God to arise and be one as we are one.
Pray that believers would live for the advance of the kingdom and that there would be no lack.
You (plural) are the answer. Rise up as one!
The kingdom is all son of sorrow.”
I wake up.
