I love this dream. For many years I was sucking up nutrients from the poisonous swamp water of rejection and insecurity, Trying to impress man and suffering curse after curse (bad luck). I did not even realize it but I was worldly. I thought I was an obedient Christian but it was only my label that had changed, not my heart.
Dream 71
I stand in a swampy wetland that smells foul.
The water here is poisonous, most of it stagnant and touched with traces of hazardous chemicals dumped by different people over decades, possibly centuries.
A lot stubborn trees and flowers try to grow here, some of them flourishing. Fruit trees with bitter fruit dot the landscape but mostly weeds and small shrubs eke out a miserable existence in this horrible place.
Here, on this poisonous land, only the strong survive while the weak live at their mercy, sometimes dying and becoming the compost that feeds the strong.
The fact that anything survives in this hellish environment is amazing. The soil literally stinks.
Uriel stands beside me, waiting for the picture to sink in before he speaks.
Uriel:
“This is the world outside the kingdom of God. The soil is the heart of man and here the soil is poisoned with much sin of the flesh. Words and deeds of pain and betrayal poison every heart. If you do not harden your heart in this kingdom, you will live a life of anxiety and depression.
Here the souls of man survive on any nutrients on offer. For in the kingdom of darkness the nutrients are fear and false hope. To grow up in a world with such poisonous earth creates poisonous roots. And here does man do everything for the approval and attention of man. Here are entire lifetimes wasted on bitterness and insecurity. This is the fruit of the god of this world. The soil of mankind’s heart poisoned so that the word of God may not easily take root.
For this very reason is Christ sent and for this reason is Christianity so necessary. To bring healing and reclamation to swamps so that they may become fruitful meadows!
Know this son of sorrow:
Such environments are not of God. Even many churches and ministries have environments poisoned with ambition and envy. If love does not lead, all is counterfeit.
You will know these trees by their fruit. For there you will find fear, rejection and control just as it is in the world. The soil is the same thus the roots are the same thus the fruit is the same.”
We are now standing in a beautiful meadow.
There are flowers and wheat everywhere. The atmosphere is fresh and fragrant. There is not one weed in sight. I close my eyes and feel the presence of God in this place. There is peace and fullness of joy, answers to tough questions flood my mind constantly and all can be themselves. The meadow is beautiful!
Uriel:
“Every word is seed that enters every heart. To create a spiritual atmosphere like this one takes discipline son of sorrow. For those whose roots were drenched in the toxic swamps of the world, the son has paid a dear price. This is done so that all may inherit abundant life and eternal life.
For this reason are you commanded by the son to come out of the world and apply His commands and live the kingdom life. For in the swamps of the world are pain and insecurity inevitable. The meadows are created by those who walk in unconditional love, watching every word that is spoken to one another. Fully aware that every word and the spirit behind every word is extremely important.
Citizens of the kingdom are to speak as citizens of the kingdom.
They who speak as citizens speak in fullness of love. For God is love and all that is absent love is absent God. They are filled with hope and speak with great faith!
Let wall who hear or read what is recorded know that they are not to be unequally yoked to those who are not fruit bearing citizens of the kingdom of God. Come out of the world, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Speak in love, act in love, seek first the kingdom and only good things will come.
All who read what you record must leave the ways of the world, the words of the world and their carnal natures. Leave these things and come out from among them. You are a child of the living God, stand up and walk as one!
Those in the meadow are blessed and highly favored!
For in the meadow are all things added to the righteous!
The kingdom is all son of sorrow, seek first the kingdom!”
Me:
“The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
