Dream 102
I am somewhere in the future.
This is a Garden City. The entire infrastructure is planned around farms, gardens, fish and flowers.
Everything here is about the abundance of healthy vegetables and fruit.
Every building is solar powered and waste water is recycled to feed crops.
There is so much food here that multiple eighteen wheeler trucks come and go around the clock to feed entire schools of children in the region.
Doctors, mechanics, electricians, teachers, musicians, engineers… all living here as missionaries and giving their time freely each day.
Builder and I walk around the city and I realize that we are back in the kingdom of obedience.
Me:
“If only this could come to pass.”
Builder:
“This is what the kingdom looks like when the children are raised correctly. This is why the school is so important son of sorrow. Every child must be raised to turn their back on mammon and do everything in love. They cannot serve one another as they should when they have to pay off student loans, buy cars, clothes, houses and food. Mammon commands their attention and forces them into a lifetime of slavery. They must be raised to follow their passions in an environment that allows and rewards it, free from the chains of obligation. They must be raised to see how they may bring heaven to earth with their natural talents.
Every soul is created to solve a unique problem. Solving that problem will bring them fullness of joy and peace for such things come only when you have found your purpose and are at work to bring it to pass.
But the kingdom of mammon rewards very specific problems and starves those who desire to serve the poor.
Do you know how many poor there actually are son of sorrow?
Far more than your research tells you. Many suffer in cars and houses that have become their prisons. Their spirits are broken by the daily grind that comes with bowing the knee to mammon.
Hundreds of millions of children grow up in the worst kind of conditions imaginable, not only starved of food but also starved of love and care. Abused daily in cultures that promote molestation and rape and bought and sold in slavery through human trafficking. These realities exist because believers have not been taught to live in community. You are not one as we are one so your influence is small, your political power very limited and the body riddled with double minded leaders who think it possible to serve both God and mammon.
If you do as the son commands, love as the son commands and live a selfless live together as the son commands, the gates of hell will not prevail against you. But if you continue to insist on living lives of economic solitude, the assignment will pass two generations hence.
Your power is in unity. Not just in word but also in deed.
Be one as we are one.”
Me:
“So the plan is for thousands of believers to literally live in community as they did in the book of Acts?”
Builder:
“A kingdom where the commands of the son are held as law is a kingdom of love. And there is the goodness of God truly manifest. And it is the goodness of God that leads man to repentance and the love that you show to one another that proves to the world that you belong to God.
If you seek to bring miraculous change to any region, do as the apostles did. Many thousands will be added to your number every day. For it is love and grace and mercy that draws men’s hearts to God and you (plural) must show this plainly for all to see. There must be no lack or strife among you.
Advance the kingdom, the kingdom is all, the kingdom is the answer.
Meditate on these things son of sorrow.
The kingdom is all!”
Uriel:
“Authority in the spirit and authority in the flesh cannot be separated. You must build a city that is both. A tree is known by its fruit and faith by its deeds. You cannot say with your lips ‘I believe’ yet have no fruit of faith. Those who love the son advance His kingdom. They do all that He commands diligently and intentionally.
You cannot say that you are filled with the Spirit of God yet not be filled with the love of God. Those who are filled with the Holy Spirit are filled with love and are consumed with the heart of God. They do not walk according to the flesh, they walk according to the Spirit and think of nothing but that which is the heart of God.
Those who have a heart for the poor and the broken walk by the Spirit for they are filled with love. Those who do not have a heart for the poor and the broken still walk according to the flesh and do not know God.
The purpose of the anointing is to preach the good news to the poor son of sorrow. There will you find great power; there will you find the heart of God. But for those who pursue mammon and cage themselves in the trap of ambition there is only a form of Godliness. Their religion is worthless, meaningless, nothing but a showcase to appease the conscience and for this reason do they do what is only convenient.
To advance the kingdom you must lay down your life and turn your back on all that is not of God.
Be one as we are one. Surrender yourself to love and you will see the power of love on full display.
The kingdom is all son of sorrow.”
Me:
“Wow. I repent for living so much of my life for meaningless ambition. I commit myself completely to the will of the Father and pray that my heart would become more like His every day!
The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
