Dream 104
Chaos.
Utter chaos.
Angel and demon locked in battle on earth and in the air above me.
Hordes of demons pushing with all their might to hold the ground that they have taken while angels slowly but steadily advance forward. The advance is incremental. Slow but deliberate, every few inches carefully measured and then taken.
Uriel speaks to me with slightly raised voice over the loud din of battle:
Uriel:
“You must carefully record all that is spoken son of sorrow. You are not there to be tempted but they will always attempt to win you to their side. Simply record all that is spoken.”
I am transported to the other side, far behind enemy lines to a place that is definitely somewhere in the middle east.
A demon as tall as a tree issues commands in a booming voice to principalities and powers of the air who immediately translocate back to the various battlefronts. The demon notices me immediately and grins confidently.
Demon:
“Ah, Courier! Finally, we meet! I meant to have a face to face with you in the USA but we could not pinpoint your whereabouts and your new residence may as well be on a different planet. None of us are going there with Michael around!”
Me:
“I am relieved to hear that.”
He laughs animatedly and continues.
Demon:
“Excuse the chaos, but with the angelic ability to translocate, battle is very complicated, there is no set battlefield, for two neighbors may live in a conquered town yet one of them may give his land to the enemy very suddenly and cost us an entire suburb. It’s not like with humans where you can simply track someone, things change drastically and quickly in the spiritual realm so we have to keep our heads in the game permanently!
It really is good to finally meet you, we are consistently on the lookout for talented, charismatic leaders to help us take new ground!”
I don’t say anything, I just listen.
Demon:
“I assure you, the perks for humans in our kingdom are magnificent but forgive my lack of manners, I forgot to introduce myself.
If I had a human name it would be ‘Delay’. I am responsible for the world-wide war of attrition of believers. String them along with some false hope, hook them up with business deals that will never materialize, frustrate financial deals by delaying payment or investment. It is my assignment to create as much of a slowdown as possible. False hope is a real killer, when promises do not materialize, believers blame God and turn from Him. Then we lift the delay and draw the ex-believer further away from any kind of commitment to God.
Delay is by far our most efficient weapon. We can bring the biggest visions to complete standstills. And right now we are having incredible results with our financial delay strategies word wide. We move almost uncontested because believers do not even believe in demons and angels anymore. Heck, they hardly even believe in God. If we slow down the money, we create anger at God. It really is a fantastic strategy.”
The more this demon talks, the more I want to punch it in the mouth. Standing before me is the orchestrator of my greatest frustrations in two decades of ministry. Delayed finances, delayed manpower, delay, delay, delay.
Demon:
“Think on this Courier: Take all the designs and instructions that the builder angel has given you and create a temple of light for the angel of light. Do everything that you have been instructed to do for the children but lead them to the wisdom of the angel of light. You will never be at the mercy of delay again. I will unlock an immediate flow of resources and you will be able to build sheer opulence with the most talented children in the world. You will rub shoulders with the elite. International film, music and sports celebrities will take up your cause. It will be magnificent! Anyone who criticizes or opposes you will suffer such delay in their financial dealings that they will be swept aside like weeds on a river in full flood.
It does not matter how wise, learned or talented people are, if they are at the mercy of delay, nothing comes to fruition. We can be a great team, you and I!
You teach mankind the things that I teach you and I keep delay off those who serve you. If they do not toe the line, just say the word and I bring delay upon them. Word of your power will spread like wildfire!”
Me:
“How the heck do you have the authority to do this?”
Demon:
“You have met our esteemed principality of mammon have you not? He does a great job of enslaving both believer and unbeliever, thus granting us legislative authority in the spiritual and physical realms.
Debt is a real killer! Especially if you try to work in both realms.”
He laughs as he delivers that last line and angry frustration boils up within me.
Me:
“How you demons destroy so may hopes and dreams and call yourselves the kingdom of light is beyond me. Your soulless, heartless victimization of mankind is heartbreaking!”
Demon:
“We do nothing that mankind does not collectively allow. Sure you get the odd clever guy that complains a bit, but is all completely consensual, I assure you! Mankind has no problem looking the other way as long as their own household is cared for. After all, charity begins at home does it not?”
Me:
“You deserve what is coming to you.”
Demon:
“The word ‘deserve’ is subjective. Humans have the power to resist us and create whatever they want to. Yet they choose to create a world where children starve to death. You collectively give us the authority to what we want and what we want is anything that delays the advance of your kingdom.”
Me:
“So you are given the power to delay good works by man?”
Demon:
“Yes, and much more! Mankind is quickly working their way towards giving us a tithe of their unborn children and we are now even able to delay the fruit of the womb. Believers are too clueless and powerless to stop us, we basically do whatever we want.”
Me:
“I ‘ve had enough, I don’t want to talk to you anymore.”
Demon:
“Remember our offer Courier. When you get tired of that useless army, just call my name.”
Me:
“Not likely.”
I am on the land beneath Michael’s calf.
Uriel stands beside me once again.
Uriel:
“Angels and demons translocate. We appear where we need to be in the moment that we desire it.
Thus there are very few clear borders in the spiritual realm along which we can mass and advance as a single army.
Believers are spread out over cities in separate residences in areas where they are vastly outnumbered under the authority of secular Ecclesia.
The power to make laws in the spirit and physical realm lies in the hands of the dominating Ecclesia.
So if a believer is the only believer in a nationhood, that believer is under the authority of that Ecclesia.
Every manmade border is respected in the spiritual realm, so the border of your property serves as a physical island within the Ecclesia of that suburb. Within that property we have authority as per the free will of the believer but we are completely surrounded by the enemy. If the entire suburb is filled with believers who act as one, we are able to declare the entire suburb a spiritual authority and advance the kingdom from within. Believers who live in community and buy large pieces of land together are extremely powerful in the spirit.
But for those who do not understand the importance of community living, the principality of delay has almost unlimited authority. For alone you are in his kingdom but in community with believers you are in the kingdom of God and there, Delay has very limited power.
You are plagued by delay because you are not one as we are one. You live on islands, apart from one another, carrying heavy costs that could be shared. You walk in your own authority by yourselves when you could advance as the kingdom of God. You stay by yourselves, far from one another, where angels are limited in number.
If you work together, act as one and live in community, doing business with believers and seeking first the kingdom in all you do, Delay will have no power.
Seek first the kingdom, instruct the believers to work together in purchasing land so that they may advance the kingdom in both the physical and spiritual realms. Do not be yoked with unbelievers, advance the kingdom son of sorrow!”
Me:
“I understand. We must advance the kingdom both spiritually and physically tactically.”
Uriel:
“If you do not work together, you do not have power. Advance the kingdom, the kingdom is all!”
Me:
“The kingdom is all.”
I wake up.
