Dream 106
The river before us is in full flood. Angry brown water thunders past us with white foam snapping at frothing water like a pack of rabid dogs in a hurry to shred their prey.
The power of water in full flood never ceases to amaze me. There is literally nothing that man can build that will hold back this marvel of nature if God chooses to unleash it. The entire earth could be transformed back to its liquid state in a few short days.
The knowledge of our ignorant arrogance in the face of our mortality brings with it a moment of slight nausea before my hippocampus quickly readjusts reality and I am once again just staring at the rushing water before me.
Uriel stands beside me silently, a powerful being filled with wisdom beyond comprehension, patiently revealing what I must record in small Increments that suit the limited scope of my human comprehension. Sometimes allowing me to dream the same information over and over until simple metaphor opens dull eyes.
I have begun to realize that I have spent my entire life like a sheep or a cow, very little intelligence above instinct. Eating the grass that I am fed, providing the wool or milk to those who pay me best in money or attention.
And here before me is a raging river that represents all that I do not yet know. It is this revelation that consumes all before it and drowns those who cannot swim well. The ignorance of mankind has forced us to shy away from this river, content to splash around in shallow streams and ponds, completely ignorant of who we truly are and what we are really here to do.
Made in the image of an almighty God, empowered with free will, surrounded with a heavenly host so that we may choose to manifest the most powerful force in the universe – love. Yet not even scratching the surface of what this power actually is. Sheep and cattle, lorded over by demonic masters over whom only the enlightened have absolute authority, we are blind.
Giants led by germs.
The brave among us shout at universal powers in complete ignorance, attempting to bind things that cannot be bound and loose things that require more than the squeals of a petulant child.
Brave but ignorant. Too lazy to commit lives to reading and understanding the entirety of the powerful manuscript given to us. Reading in part, understanding in part, forms of knowledge without spiritual wisdom.
Like ants figuring out how to move a heavy log and then celebrating such simplistic practicality as absolute truth when revelation grants the power to create the very tree from which the log has come.
The power of unity in the application of the words of Jesus as Lord is astounding. Jesus as Lord. Very few grasp this concept. Even after 106 consecutive revelatory dreams I still struggle to comprehend the full import of that statement. “Jesus is Lord”. To serve Jesus as absolute Lord requires a level of sacrifice that I could not comprehend until now. Complete death to self, complete sacrifice of me so that the kingdom may absorb all that I am to create something far greater than I could ever be as a single unit.
The futility of private homes and second homes and fancy cars and overpriced clothing in the face of an eternal war for the soul of man astounds me. How did we fall this far? How have we become this unthinkable thing? This virus that consumes all it has been created to steward?
We do worse than premediated murder, we turn our faces from genocide and mass starvation. We stand by as the human race while injustices are inflicted upon our fellow man by the hundreds of millions. We do all of this because we do not know who we truly are and what it is we have been put here to do.
And even reading this or seeing these things with our naked eyes do we readjust our conscience, turn our backs and go back to dull eyed, shallow ignorance. Willfully letting evil do what evil does so that we may not be directly affected.
We do this because it is too heavy to carry even the burdens of one other person by ourselves. And it is because we are by ourselves, alone, worthless to the kingdom and no threat to our enemy.
But together we are something else. In unity we are a tidal wave. In our legions we bring forth the will of God. But can we unite? Can we truly lay down every futile, materialistic thing and pursue love? Can we pursue the greatest revelations of love so that love may consume us? Can we strive for nothing but love?
It is on the other side of the purest revelation of love that you will find God. For He is love and all that is love is God. And in our love for one another will God be made manifest in his children. All else is vain and futile. If we are to make disciples who do not live to love, we achieve nothing. All is worthless without love. All is pointless and purposeless without love.
If your spirit is not consumed with love in this life, it will not see love in the next. For you cannot add a drop of poison to the glass without poisoning the whole glass.
Achievement in this life is nothing. Wealth is nothing. It all rots with your body when you leave this place. All that goes with you is love and what was done in love. Without love you perish. Eternity has no use for you. You are as worthless to the eternal plan as a cracked brick to a house.
The great test in this life is love. It is a test that cannot be rewritten because it does not need to be. You either love Love or find it inconvenient. And here we see mammon, the ultimate test of free will.
What does a man choose when given the opportunity to love? Give him money and power and his heart will project his spirit upon the very clouds. And every spiritual being bears witness to what is written.
It is not sin that condemns the loveless in the end. It is what we did with love.
Oh mankind, turn from the lifeless grass that you are fed by your cold hearted masters and seek out all that there is to know about love. Understand it well and strive to live in community with your brethren. Figure it out, experiment, pray for wisdom, do what you can with what you have. You are cursed by your own offenses by petty things fit for ignorant children. Is your entire life and eternity worth this pettiness?
Lay your life down. Serve Jesus. Know His words first before the words of any other voice. He alone is God, not apostles, prophets or judges. First know the words of Jesus and strive to be obedient to Him.
Therein lies the power, therein lies the path to understanding love. For love is the ultimate universal power. Nothing compares, nothing even comes close.
Let the scales fall from your eyes so that your soul may awaken and your spirit may soar.
Love is all for love is the kingdom and the kingdom is love.
Still you do not grasp it for Jesus is not yet your Lord. Convenience is.
Bow your knee, surrender your life and travail for this revelation of all that love is. Without it, we are nothing.
Uriel turns towards me and lays his hand upon my shoulder.
Uriel:
“There is much to see son of sorrow, still your heart, God is at work among His children and great things are coming.”
We are in a church service. A band plays on stage. It sounds great.
Uriel:
“Look with your spiritual eyes son of sorrow.”
The physical realm disappears immediately and the band onstage is replaced with beings of what appears to be fluid, transparent glass. The usual white lit cursive is written upon all of them but this time I notice that the beings are different sizes.
One being in the choir is so tall that her head touches the roof, the worship leader is about the height of a two hear old. The different sizes are disconcerting and I wonder what it all means.
Uriel:
“That which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit. As the flesh grows per how it is fed, so does the spirit grow per what it is fed.
The flesh is instinct, the soul is instinct. These two properties work together in the physical realm and are tied together by emotional drive. The soul determines how the flesh responds to what is seen in the natural or written upon the spirit.
The spirit of man is the true eternal part of him. The spirit wields authority and commands or submits to what is accepted as reality. If your spirit is fed, trained and loved well, it grows strong and powerful. If is not fed, it stays stagnant.
Tell me son of sorrow. The one leading the worship. Why do you suppose his spirit is that of a two-year-old child?”
Me:
“I am not sure. What confuses me is that he seems to be committed to worshiping God and have a real grasp on leading people in intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Surely his spirit should be more mature?
Uriel:
“His mind is well trained and he is very talented but he is not even aware of his spirit. Most believers are the same. They do every right ritual and motion by copying what they hear and see others do.
This man is more influenced by secular love songs and concerts than he is by the word of God. He skillfully copies what he sees and produces the same emotional results but his spirit has not grown since his acceptance of Jesus as savior. His heart is pure though, he seeks intimacy with God with all his heart but he has almost no authority in the spirit.
He has not progressed beyond milk. His identity is as that of a toddler. Everything he does is determined by how much attention he receives.
He makes the same mistakes over and over, bases every decision on spur of the moment emotion. He runs on almost pure instinct.
Men such as these often commit adultery, fall prey to the spirit of Absalom and grumble if they do not consistently get their own way.
It is thus because he has developed his talents but he has ignored his spirit.
You are spirit. All that you see is a manifestation of what is accepted as reality by your spirit.”
He points to a lady in the choir. She is in her early twenties but her spirit is so tall that it almost reaches the ceiling.
Uriel:
“This woman has been made aware of who she is from a very young age. First spirit, then flesh. See how the power emanates from her? Her spirit makes decisions for her instead of her instinct or emotions. Already now at her young age does she think of nothing but the bigger picture. God’s motivation has become her motivation. She can think of nothing but the poor, the lost and the captives. She would lay her life down in an instant for even her worst enemy. She sees the eternal purpose of all that exists.
Know this son of sorrow:
The spirit of man and the flesh of man inhabit two completely different realms. The authority to create anything new or change anything in the physical realm begins in the spiritual realm.
There is a balance and counterbalance to grow your spirit. The more you lay down the desires of the flesh, the more your spirit grows. It is thus because your purpose is the salvation of mankind and the stewardship of the earth.
The larger the spirit grows, the more revelation it can contain. The spirit man grows and is fed by selflessness and sacrifice. Man cannot grow his own spirit with studies or revelation. Revelation comes to the selfless because the container for that revelation, which is the spirit, grows to contain it.
Revelation of this magnitude is not accessible to the selfish or the ambitious because their spirit cannot bear the load that comes with carrying the brokenness and poverty of mankind.
All revelation leads to man laying down his life for the expansion of the kingdom and the eradication of injustices like poverty and tyranny.
To the immature spirit that has not grown beyond self preservation, there is only self and family.
Many believers may be seventy years of age in earth years and may have led churches and done mighty things but their spirit may never have progressed beyond that of a selfish, ambitious child. Thus their access to revelation is completely limited and all that they may learn and teach concerns ambition and personal success.
You are here for all of mankind, every believer must lay down their lives for the sake of mankind and come into community, live in community and create large cities that overflow with abundance.
But the immature spirit will find this unthinkable.
This is why you can receive no council from those who do not passionately seek the advancement of the kingdom nor from those who tolerate poverty. They are simply infants in the spirit.
You may build the biggest church in the world, raise the dead and walk on water. If your heart is not set upon the eradication of mass injustice through the advance of love and righteous generosity, your spirit is but an ambitious child, motivated by power and the adoration of mankind.
You must humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, knowing that He gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud. He locks the seals so that only the selfless may open them.
To God, the wisdom of man and the pursuit of any ambition but righteousness and justice on earth is foolishness. That which impresses man has no effect on God. He desires abundance and love for every man, woman and child, indeed, He loved the world so much that He sent His only son.
The selfless spirit has access to revelation of the heart of God and thus to the power of God to do true mighty works. But humility is neither profitable to the kingdom of mammon nor does it bring glory to the head of man. So even the elite are deceived into pursuing things that bring glory, power and fame. Know this son of sorrow: As long as there are poor among you, you are immature, ambitious and selfish.”
Me:
“So you are saying that nothing matters more to God than the eradication of poverty?”
Uriel:
“The mature spirit can see poverty for what it is – both symptom and fruit of the heart of mankind. Those who feed the poor do not simply put food in a mouth, they give of themselves and grow themselves in revelation and in favor with the Father. They give hope to those whom they clothe and feed and in giving hope do they sow a seed of goodness that takes root to decimate the root of bitterness.
God takes every seed sown to the poor personally and sees it as a personal loan from yourself to Him. It is highly personal to the Father because it shows the nature and character of His children as well as His love to those of His children who live in lack at the mercy of those who live in abundance.
The immature spirit cannot see this. They cannot see that their very nature is exposed by how they see and treat those in need. To ignore those in need is to ignore love itself. To ignore love is to ignore God.
There is not a single person that has lived or is yet to live that has not been called to eradicate poverty. It is the truest hope of the Father that His children would lay down their selfish ambitions and work together to create communities that work to overflow in abundance. This is the purpose of the shepherds among you, to bring you into community and focus your ambitions on sowing the good news into the hearts of the poor and proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favor.
The poor are not poor because they lack money, they are poor because mankind lacks the heart of God.
Most your spirits are like toddlers. Stumbling around, shoving everything into your mouths, completely oblivious to the realities of the world beyond your playpen. Your purpose is much more than a bigger playpen son of sorrow. The children of God are called to bring heaven to earth and break down the gates of hell.
There is hell both on earth and in the spirit. Poverty unleashes injustice and torture upon its citizens that you cannot begin to imagine. Those in poverty live a nightmarish existence of victimization by heartless predators every single day. Children are raped and bought and sold like livestock by their own family members.
To the immature spirit, this is not their problem. They literally do not care because all that matters to the toddler is his playpen.
Nations of abundance do not understand that the borders of man are not the borders of God. As long as any poverty exists anywhere on earth, the heart of the Father is broken.
To the mature spirit, the kingdom is all. And in the kingdom, there is no lack. There is love for every child and abundance and safety for all within.
The kingdom is all son of sorrow, you cannot achieve what God expects of you by yourself, it can only be achieved as a kingdom.
The adolescent spirit assumes that it does not need anyone else, it is content with working alone because the task that it sets itself is for personal gain and personal comfort. But the mature spirit sees the magnitude of the task at hand and seeks to work as a kingdom.
Herein lies the key to your greatest power. If you work as a mature community you have absolute authority. Your power is as the church and the purpose of your power is to bring heaven to earth.
Those who do not seek to work as one and do not see the full importance of the entire body working together as one to bring abundance to the poor are immature in the spirit and still filled with selfish ambition.
Pray then for the strength to lay your lives down and to distinguish between which priorities are traps from the enemy and which are key to the expansion of the kingdom. Grow your spirit by pursuing those things which are for the good of all. Be one as we are one.
Your power is in unity and you (plural) are far more powerful than you can imagine. When you unite for the good of all of mankind the floodgates of heaven are opened.
Those who live for the good of all, laying down their lives for the advance of the kingdom by seeking out selfless community with fellow believers will receive the fullness of the revelation of who they are. Humble yourselves before the heart of God and He will lift you up!
The kingdom is all son of sorrow.”
Me:
“The kingdom is all.”
I wake up.
