Dream 247

I am in the slums in an African country somewhere, then the scenery changes and I am in South American slums, then suddenly in Asia in village after village where people starve.
There is so much starvation and poverty wherever I am taken that I slowly begin to lose hope and I feel myself getting overwhelmed with sadness.
Suddenly I am back upon the land beneath Michael’s calf.
I stare at the river before me and hum in prayerful meditation as thousands of images flash through my mind. My meditation turns to groaning and I intercede from the depths of my spirit. No English words can pray what needs to be prayed. I let my deep call out to the Holy Spirit’s deep and I join my song to His.
As I am in a focused song of supplication, I hear the most wonderful voice speak from behind me.
Friendly man:
“Change your intercession to focus on the labourers and the harvesters. Pray for believers to wake up from their selfish stupors and roll up their sleeves. You don’t have to ask me to help the poor, I want to help them more than you want to help them!
I see every hungry child in every broken nation. It is the workers that are the problem, not the hungry. Pray for workers.
Do you know what breaks my heart Courier?”
Me:
“No my Lord, I shudder to think of what terrible thing could break the heart of God!”
Friendly man:
“Indifference. Worse yet, indifferent believers.
They worship me with hands raised but their hearts are so far from me that I cannot differentiate between them and unbelievers.
Look at the harvest, it is so ripe! Look at the billions in poverty, all needing food, love and revelation. Yet my people, who call themselves by my name, do almost nothing.
Think about this Courier:
The word ‘Christian’ literally means ‘slave of Christ’. It represents a covenant between us where we are willing to serve one another and die for one another.
But my people, who are called by my name, are not even willing to lay down their luxuries, let alone their physical lives.
Listen carefully Courier:
Those whom I send to you are the cream of the crop. They have hearts that beat for my kingdom and are hungry to do my will. Do not sugar coat the truth with them, they are righteous and filled with faith. They desire to see the Holy Spirit move in their cities and nations.
Take the compassion that I have imparted to you and impart it to them. Help them connect to my heart so that they may be overcome with a desire to feed and disciple millions.
For those who turn their backs on the poor, turn their backs on me. But those who work to alleviate the afflictions of the poor are very special to me. For them I recognize and their spirits are the spirits that shall be with me always.
To say that you love me and still be selfish and conceited is a lie. You cannot love me if you hate the poor.
Look at how many of them there are! Look at how many children play in streets surrounded by garbage. Look at how many children do not eat each day.
This is the great test and the great assignment. This is how you reveal your hearts to me.
You can hide behind twisted scriptures all you like, but I judge you by the works of your hands and the rivers that flow from your lips. Do not presume to mock me or think that you can pull the wool over my eyes. I came to wipe the slate clean for you. Your sin no longer has any bearing on your eternal destination. The law no longer has a hold on you.
Do you know what this means?
It means that you are without excuse. I have sown you into the world, free from the chains of slavery and condemnation, and I expect a harvest.
I expect you to sow to the poor what I sowed to you.
Whatever you sow, you will reap. This you can count on!
If you sow indifference towards those in need, you will reap it from me.
There was once a man who was imprisoned for murder.
One day he stood before a judge who said the following:
‘I am shifting the blame for your actions to my son, whom I love very much. He will die in your place. You are free to go.’
The man was relieved and grateful and left the courtroom rejoicing.
The next day he put on his finest clothes and went to the prison to council and advise as many prisoners as he could. He brought them food and drinks. He recruited his friends to do the same with him. For he had received a revelation that men are not defined by their mistakes but by our love for them.
Why then do my people, who are called by my name, have such contempt for the poor and the prisoners? I will tell you why. They have not received a true revelation of my grace.
If they had received a true revelation of my grace, they would be proactively paying it forward. They would be consumed with compassion as I am consumed with compassion. Their hearts and minds would constantly drift to the plight of the captives.
That is how I recognize myself in you, by your love and your compassion. Your indifference to the poor breaks my heart but your compassion for them fills me with joy.
Those of you who feel nothing for the poor must ask the Holy Spirit to give you a new heart.
Will I not bless you if you work together to make sure that there is no poverty among you? Have I not made provision for my workers?
But you must not attempt this alone, you must work together in your hundreds and thousands. You must create a tidal wave of compassionate acts that sweeps across the world. Billions need the love of my body. It is a very serious thing and it is how I know whether or not you love me.
Because those who love me will do what is special to me.
Feed them, disciple them, guide them, teach them. Let my goodness and wisdom fill them so that they may rise above the limitations of poverty.
This is very important to me Courier. Nothing touches my heart more.
Continue to follow the instructions that the ministering angels bring. Do not be intimidated by the immensity of your task. Take one step at a time and persevere though every hardship. All of heaven cheers for you (plural) as you advance the priorities of heaven.
Those who love me will feed my sheep.
Seek first my kingdom, everything you need is in my kingdom!”
Me:
“Your kingdom is all Lord!”
I wake up.
