Dream 126

Uriel and I stand beneath the bridge on the property under Michael’s calf.
We have been speaking for hours about many different things and revelation has dawned upon me, making many mysteries plain.

As we stand speaking, a man approaches me and strikes up a conversation about the state of the body of Christ. He brings up good points about us being lukewarm, indifferent and complacent and I enjoy the conversation, even naming names and pointing out specific ministries that can improve.

As he speaks, I notice a kind of inky blackness flowing from his mouth. It pools around his feet and swirls around him like a mist.

Me:
“Bother, a darkness flows from your lips as you speak!”

He looks at me quizzically and replies.
Man:
“At first I thought it was my imagination, but darkness has been flowing from your lips since we started talking.”

I turn to Uriel confused.
Me:
“What is this darkness that flows from our lips?”

Uriel:
“In the short time that the tow of you were speaking, you spoke by the spirits of accusation, jealousy, bitterness and in the Spirit of Satan himself.”

Me:
“How is this possible? We spoke only of what we saw needed to change to make the kingdom better. Neither of us were malicious or hateful, I really think that our hearts were pure!”

Uriel:
“The seven spirits of Satan do not distinguish between purity of heart and malicious intent. They come to divide, to separate destiny relationships, to drive a wedge into the heart of man so that he may justify his hatred for brothers and sisters.
Come son of sorrow, let us meet the first of these spirits, the spirit of accusation.”

Uriel reaches Into my chest and pulls a squirming mass of black ink from me, it fights to get loose from his grip and I stand there dumbfounded by what was just pulled out of my heart.

Uriel:
“These spirits are dormant as seeds within the heart of every man. They were sown upon your heart by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, just as the seven spirits of God were sown upon your heart by the tree of life.”

He speaks to the ink.

Uriel:
“Peace, be still.”

The ink calms down and swirls around his massive hand while I stand there in shock.

Uriel:
“Ask it what you will son of sorrow.”

Me:
“It speaks?”

Uriel:
“Indeed, the more authority you give it, the less you speak and the more it speaks. As with the spirits of God, the ones given the most authority do the most talking.”

I feel weird about it, but I speak to the flowing ink in Uriel’s hand.

Me:
“Which spirit are you?”

The ink speaks in a whisper, smooth and confident. The effect on me is morbid fascination.
Ink:
“I am your spirit of accusation.”

I turn to Uriel.
Me:
“This is a literal spirit? I am demon possessed?”

Uriel:
“This is neither demon nor human. It is part of you as the Holy Spirit is part of you. One with your spirit. It is YOUR spirit of accusation.”

Me:
“But how can another spirit dwell within me if the Holy Spirit dwells within me?”

Uriel:
“You are a temple, a house with many rooms. You can only speak by one spirit at a time, depending on which room your mind enters. Psychologists would call it something like compartmentalization. You harbor bitterness and anger at the back of your mind and allow the spirits of God and the Holy Spirit to lead only when it suits you.”

Me:
“That is terrible! How do I get rid of it?”

Uriel:
“That which is flesh is of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That which is Spirit is of the tree of life. Speak by the Spirit of God always and let no unclean thing come from your mouth. Nor allow unclean talk to enter your ears. Nor must you read unclean words.
Walk and talk by the spirit of God and you shall starve the spirits of Satan so that they are nothing more than seeds within in you.”

I speak to the flowing ink in Uriel’s hand once again:

Me:
“What is your assignment?”

The whispered reply creeps me out.
Spirit of accusation:
“Division.”

Uriel:
“When you operate by the seven spirits of God, you draw those who do the same. But when you operate by the seven spirits of Satan, you push away destiny relationships and draw divisive relationships into your life.”

Me:
“Oh my word. This is insane. I’ve been under the control of accusation, jealousy, shame and bitterness?”

Uriel:
“They do not control you. You control them.”

I am shocked to silence. The weight of this new information hits me like a hammer to the chest.

Uriel:
“Such is the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. That man determines what is righteous and what is unrighteous and justifies even the spirits of Satan within his heart so that he may not feel guilty of wrongdoing.”

Me:
“I.. I… don’t even know what to say or do right now.”

Uriel.
“Walk and speak by the spirits of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, might, council, the fear of God and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Do this intentionally and be aware of the wiles of Satan. Recognize every spirit and rebuke them as the son of God rebuked Peter.”

Uriel opens his hand and the flowing ink shoots back into my chest. I quickly place my hand on my heart, shocked at what lives in there.

I cry out.

Me:
“Oh God, oh God, create in me a clean heart! Remove this darkness from me. Renew my spirit!”

The friendly man appears beside Uriel, smiling and accepting as usual. Brown eyes looking straight into my soul and loving me regardless.

Friendly man:
“(Laughs) You expect me to think for you too? Come on Courier, you are well able!
I have declared you righteous, I have sent my Holy Spirit and I have paid for every sin, all you have to do is listen to the comforter.”

Me:
“But I have spent most of my life allowing bitterness and shame to lead me. I don’t want that anymore. I want to walk in the fullness of all that you want me to be.”

Friendly man:
“Then be mindful and careful of every word that proceeds from your mouth. Separate yourself from accusation, bitterness, shame, jealousy, rejection and fear. Pray for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, council, might and the fear of God.
Be mindful and intentional, be aware of every spirit and raise disciples who do the same.
Your sin does not matter to me, your assignment does. I want you to fulfill every drop of potential that I have placed within you!”

Me:
“I feel like I have wasted so much of my life on nonsense Lord. Almost as if my clock has run out and the game is over for me. So many huge adventures that ended with me wondering if you are real. So much bitterness and shame. So much rejection and fear. Am I a coward for not wanting any more disappointment? I just don’t know if the Christianity you have shown me in these dreams is possible. Mankind prefers the right to accuse and reject. They prefer indifference to revelation. I don’t know if my hope in mankind is a waste of time, especially for a vision of this scale.
I was excited about moving to the USA last year but now you have instructed me to stay in Africa where the indifference of man is impossible to ignore. How will we do what we need to do without money or manpower? Is this another lighthouse where I must watch millions drown while I try to save a few hundred with ropes and nets?
I can’t do that anymore Lord. I need a new spirit, this one is worn out. This one is tired.”

Friendly man:
“Your spirit is exactly where I want it to be. Everything that has come before has been preparation for what is to come. I have let you see all that breaks my heart snd allowed it to break yours. Take heart, you will have all that you need to do what I have called you to do. This is a season of rest, a time to clear every bitterness and fear from your heart. When the time comes, you will lead with my heart. I have removed personal ambition from you so that you may accomplish my will.
All who follow you have been prepared just as you have been prepared for you are not building A church Courier. You are building MY church, THE church. You are a uniter and Generals shall follow you.

People are not fools, they see brokeness and humility and they respect it. I have broken you Courier, I have refined you and I have refined all around you. Your friends, your family and your disciples. You (plural) will unite my army and the gates of hell will not stand against you.

Above everything in your journey, I want you to be mindful of who has your ear and what flows from your lips. I want you to spend more time with me than you do with people. When others hear you speak, it must be me speaking.
Remember Courier, teach all who will hear you to pray for wisdom, understanding, knowledge, council, might, the fear of God and the Guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Do not allow the spirits of accusation, bitterness, fear, shame, jealousy, rejection and Satan to determine what flows from your lips.
If you are to unite my body you must love my body. Love them without condition as I love you without condition.

Be intentional and careful about which spirits fill your heart. We have a big job to do Courier, your heart needs to be pure! Everyone around you needs to watch their words very carefully. Don’t tolerate accusation and judgement.

Remember this, the Father does not forgive those who do not forgive others. They can walk on their hands, pray in tongues and raise the dead. If they do not forgive, they will not be forgiven. You cannot hate people and think I am ok with it. Seriously, my kingdom is a kingdom of love and those who refuse to love are working against my plan.

Spend this week clearing your heart Courier. Instruct all who follow you to do the same. 2017 is a very important year!

And stop trying to find hope in mankind. I am your hope. Place your trust in me. Place your hope in me. Make your ears deaf and your eyes blind to everything else. Just do as I instruct you.”

Me:
“I will my Lord. Your kingdom us all!”

Friendly man:
“My Father has a great plan, have faith Courier, you are entering the time of the greatest awakening!”

I wake up.
