Dream 154

I stand beside, but slightly behind, a friend at the river. I am on his left.

Gatherer stands directly behind him to my right and reaches into his back to pull a hand full of small snakes out of his heart.

At first I am alarmed by what I see but then Gatherer explains.

Gatherer:
“Behold son of sorrow, the serpents of indecision and confusion. They create within the most powerful of stewards much wavering. A double minded man is constantly at war within himself with what he assumes to be himself. But these serpents begin as seeds planted in the heart via the ear and slither around every argument to create perpetual delayed action. Signs and wonders do not sway the insecurity of those who wrestle with such arguments. For every argument is strategically placed to leverage off the purest hearts.”

Gatherer reaches in my chest and draws forth a cluster of small snakes.

Gatherer:
“Behold so of sorrow, the same arguments within thine own heart.”

He turns to look at the man beside me.

Gatherer:
“Speak thus unto the sons of compassion:
As per the instruction of the Holy Spirit, according to the scroll which orders the steps of the righteous, was I instructed to plant the seeds of the serpents of doubt within the hearts of the sons of sorrow, many whom are the sons of compassion. See how none of these serpents were able to grow beyond babies? It is thus because they were never fed anything beyond small doubts and thus the arguments could not grow to become full strongholds.

This was done to keep a generation of stewards and leaders sanctified. Even as David was driven to live in caves and work for the Philistines so that the bad habits of the Palace may not influence his rule, so were the sons of compassion kept from the taint of the great prostitute.

But now is the time of the great awakening and now I am instructed to remove these arguments. For the time comes when the greatest leaders in the history of mankind will step to the fore as leaders of the greatest awakening. And these leaders shall not crave notoriety, fame and power but will be servant leaders. For the taint of the prostitute and the stench of the palace has been washed from them.”

He crushes the snakes in his hand and they fall to the ground, twitching and motionless after a short time.

Gatherer:
“Now shall the sons of compassion enter a time of rest so that their minds may heal. For their spirits shall be at peace but their minds will continue to seek out the snakes for a time.
Peace, be still sons of compassion. Enter into your time of rest. For the time draws near for your leadership in this war.
And the banner over you shall be love and peace and joy. Do not concern yourself with these arguments. The Holy Spirit has commissioned His servants to remove what has kept you safe these many years.

Rise now and speak your heart. This is the great season of compassion. This is the time of the sons of compassion. Rise and speak your heart. Many will hear and many will follow.
Only rise and speak your heart.

The kingdom is all son of sorrow and the gates of hell will not prevail against it!”

Me:
“The kingdom is all!”

I wake up.
