Dream 107
Uriel and I stand beside a weeping man in a suit.
We are in the offices of a large ministry. His office is carpeted around a tiled area where his desk is placed. Paintings hang on the walls around his office. There are a set of leather couches in the area next to the door.
He cries tears of grief and we watch as his tears turn to hot, molten metal and then finally his tear ducts harden as the metal cools down and blocks his emotion.
He walks to his desk and prepares himself for his next appointment.
Uriel:
“See this man, leader of tens of thousands! Betrayed and rejected by a friend. Now he allows his heart to harden, not knowing that to harden your heart against man is to harden your heart against God. For God is love and there is no distinction between God and love. You cannot separate God from love or love from God.
Those who do not walk in love are in grave danger son of sorrow. Behold, his spirit is now frozen and will not grow until his heart softens once more.”
The scene changes as we look upon the man’s spirit. Even though he leads tens of thousands in is ministry, his spirit is only that of an adolescent. I read the glowing cursive upon his spirit.
It reads ‘I am a great leader. Nothing is impossible. You cannot trust anyone. People with differing opinions to mine are fools.’
Uriel:
“He accomplishes much in the natural realm as successful businessmen do without engaging their spirit. But his success is about numbers of members and the ministry bank balance. It is the same here as it would be if he ran a business in the world. This man has suffered much betrayal and now struggles to love or trust anyone, instead he tolerates everyone around him, including his wife and children, and sets impossible expectations on all around him to perform.
Know this son of sorrow: Betrayal and rejection will test the heart of a man like no other test ever can. For those who walk in the ways of mammon and worship at the altar of their own ego, there is no forgiveness. They curse all who curse them, betray all who betray them and reject all reject them.
Their spirit does not grow beyond an adolescent hunger to be the center of attention. They want their own way and expect God to do things their way.
But the wisdom of man is worthless to God. For God does not bow to the greed of man, He hungers with great passion for heaven to be brought to earth and desires that his children grow in spirit, no longer conforming to the patterns of mammon that demand performance, but eager to bring love, acceptance and provision to all who suffer lack.
But for a strong leader to be at a place of such humility requires both obedience and brokeness. For the ambition of man brings with it much pain. To have that which others desire creates within them jealousy and scheming. Mammon is designed by the evil one to bring out the worst in people. It’s purpose is that Cain may kill Abel every day. Therefore is it important to create that which brings out the best in people. Meditate upon this son of sorrow. Ask the question: ‘Does this bring out the best in people?’
But when you are in environments that do not have love at the core, where performance determines reward, hearts become hardened and spirits stop growing. Do not create an environment where there is room for betrayal or competition. All must be done in love, all must be done to promote love and reward love.
Even now, the Builder has deposited a strategy into your spirit that will bring much resource. But let love be at the center so that you may be used as an example of how God blesses those who are obedient to Him.
Do everything in your power to create non competitive environments so that you do not create platforms for Absalom and Jezebel. Put love at the center, grace at the center, mercy at the center. Do not seek to gain the world at the expense of your soul.
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Do things His way in His love and do everything in your power to keep your heart open and filled with love.
The kingdom is all son of sorrow. And His kingdom is a kingdom of love. Let His banner over you be love so that all may see His presence in you. Be quick to forgive, quick to trust and quick to bless. Allow your spirit to grow so that there may be room for more revelation and wisdom than the ancients and so that the burdens laid upon your shoulders may be light and easy.
Do not consider the old, leave the past. Allow God to do a new thing in your lives and He will lead you to rivers in the desert and paths through the wilderness.
Love is all.”
Me:
“The kingdom is all.”
I wake up.
