I stand watching a sheep as it wanders into a pack of Wolves. The sheep is confident, arrogant even and is suddenly, viciously attacked and ripped apart.
I hear the desperate bleating from where I am standing as it calls for the shepherd before it finally goes silent and is replaced by the sounds of growling and ripping.
Gatherer stands beside me and lays his hand upon my left shoulder.
Gatherer:
“A sheep has no place among Wolves.”
Next a lone Wolf comes trotting into the valley and confidently joins the pack around the freshly killed Sheep. Two of the pack bite into his hamstrings rendering his back legs useless and others attack him until he is dead.
The brutality of what I see before me is shocking. I struggle to breathe for a bit before Gatherer speaks again.
Gatherer:
“That was not his pack. He had no place in that pack.”
A Shepherd with a large staff angrily heads towards the Wolves who continue to eat his Sheep. He starts smacking at the Wolves with his staff and drives a few away before he too is ham-stringed and killed by the pack of snarling Wolves.
I turn my face from the scene. I cannot watch what happens next but Gatherer speaks again.
Gatherer:
“A Shepherd may have authority over the largest flock of Sheep, but Wolves only see him as prey.”
A hunter shoots two of the Wolves while running in to try and save the Shepherd. The Wolves keep their distance until he bends over to lift the body of the Shepherd and he too is ham-stringed. He fires another shot and the Wolves back off but they harass him until he runs out of ammunition and finally can no longer defend himself and is overcome.
Gatherer:
“Bravery without wisdom is very dangerous. Even a well armed hunter should have known better than to wade into a pack of Wolves around three fresh kills.”
I turn my back to the scene feeling ill to the pit of my stomach as Gatherer continues.
Gatherer:
“If you know who you are, you will know what to do. But if you do not know who you are, you will stumble among Wolves and blame God.
Do you know who you are son of sorrow?”
I am about to answer but ai suddenly wake up.
I realize now that this set of dreams is very important but I do not yet know the specifics of how we are to know who we are. Today I will pray for myself and anyone who reads this for a revelation of personal identity so that we may be where we are supposed to be with whom we are supposed to be.
Please feel free to share anything God shows you about this dream.
The kingdom is all!
Fleshly zeal can be totally out of season and is carnal and shouldnt be confused with boldness.When we start off by accepting Jesus Christ,the gift of salvation we want to turn the worls upside down without wisdom understanding and knowledge.Here is where discipleship are so vital.There are hire-lings that are taking care of the sheep as an obligation and not out of a calling as Jesus gave His life for His sheep.Spiritual maturity are so expressed in the Word as there are believers staying babies in Christ for years.We can be fully equipped to combat and overcome every demon in hell WHEN you have found your true identity in Christ.Christ in you and you in Christ.
