Dream 129

I have been here for years, decades even, suffering the bombardment of insensitive opinion from thoughtless spirits and even now, so many years later, I have not toughened up. Every negative word bites into me and tenderizes my spirit like meat being prepared for the grill.
I fight back the tears and restrain the desire to hurl negativity and criticism back because I know that these serpents are people and I do not want to hurt them.

But something inside me wants blood. The claustrophobia of being surrounded by a chorus of enemies, the immobility of being half buried in the soil and my growing frustration with the chorus of critics boils within my chest. I want out.

I gather my thoughts and prepare to let loose my wrath. I am tired of feeling like a non confrontational coward, I will bring upon them a worse punishment than they mete out and silence their evil tongues!

As I draw a breath to launch my first attack, Uriel speaks from behind me.

Uriel:
“So you plan to cast off your restraint and become one of them? It is thus because you lack vision.”

Me:
“Say what again? Lack vision you say? One thing we do not lack is vision around here!”

Uriel:
“You have plans and instructions son of sorrow, but you lack vision. If you had vision your picture of these critical spirits would be a picture of healing and love. Your spiritual picture of them would supersede your experiential picture. But you have no vision for them so you cast off restraint and want to meet fire with fire. That strategy will not work.
They are as they are because they have reinforced belief systems via the seven spirits of Satan.
How do you think hurting them will help them or make your situation better?”

I clench my teeth in frustrated rage and answer as respectfully as I can.

Me:
“So I just continue to let them vomit their negative trash on me and hope they will heal?”

Uriel:
“Create an environment of perfect love son of sorrow. Those who cry out from the depths of their soul will respond and those who contend against love will flee. Mete out love with the same focus and energy that you would mete out your fruitless retribution.
But mete it out with vision. Hunger and thirst for righteousness in your life and in theirs. Pray for the spirit of understanding so that you may relax into the big picture and have a full revelation of those who are around you. Persecution is the fruit of ignorance and those who do such things literally do not know what they are doing. They are sheep, shepherded by wolves and hirelings, unstable in all their ways.
You must have a vision for them as the son has a vision for them. None must perish, not a single one.”

I look at the thirteen serpents around me and adjust my vision as instructed. It is hard work, for just as I manage to change my heart to bless them, they snap at me or each other, hissing and spitting their venom everywhere.

Me:
“Sheesh. I hate the way humanity treats each other.”

I suddenly hear a wonderful voice from my right hand side.

Friendly man:
“You used to be just like them you know. Cynical, judgmental, unreasonable…
I loved you through it and surrounded you with people who helped you heal up. You still have a bit of a limp and that spirit of rejection still squeezes your heart, right next to that spirit of fear.
I am proud of you for dealing with the spirit of bitterness but you need to grow up now Courier. There is a lot of work to be done and I need my servants focused.

You will always have critics and those who declare themselves your enemy. As a matter of fact, the more you accomplish, the fiercer and more numerous your critics and enemies become. They are a distraction, nothing more. Sent by their father the devil to sap the energy of my shepherds and prophets.
If you can love them as I love them and understand their pain and delusion, it will be a lot easier for you. It is not you they reject and criticize, it is love itself. You are just a face and a place for them to aim their pain. If it were not you it would be someone else.
I want you to create excitement around the seven spirits of God Courier.
And create a fun environment of perfect love.”

He places his hand upon my heart and I feel something shift in my spirit.

Friendly man:
“Do not allow your fear of rejection to rule your heart. Let wisdom, knowledge, understanding, council, might, the fear of God and the Holy Spirit rule your heart.

Ignore the words of man. Commit yourself only to the seven spirits of the tree of life and let my vision grow within you without distraction. Spread the vine, advance the kingdom, stay focused on your assignment.
Make disciples who walk in the fullness of the seven spirits of God. These next seventeen years are pivotal for mankind. Hold nothing back Courier and instruct my servants to do the same. Many of my elite have become deaf to the Holy Spirit so I am raising up an army of prophets who hear me clearly.

Now open your ears Courier:
I have raised and trained you specifically for media so that you may raise and train thousands in a spirit of excellence. The entire vision that you have been shown will rise or fall on your diligence in media production and training. Don’t worry about big crowds in one place, focus on the tens of millions you will reach through screens around the world.
I have sent you a great film making crew. Make fun movies based on my parables. Use my parables as the basis for good stories. Make movies for the whole family and raise up film makers and producers who will serve young children with their talents.
I want you to make movies that both believer and unbeliever can watch but keep my parables as the foundational theme of every movie so that pastors can use the movies in their discipleship programs.
Ignore the critics, don’t let them discourage or dissuade you (plural).

Advance my kingdom and all will be added to you.
I love you very much!”

Me:
“I love you too Lord, you kingdom is all!”

Uriel:
“His kingdom is all!”

I wake up.
