Dream 310

I now understand why I only get to meet the seven spirits of the seven who are before the throne of God after 309 recorded dreams.
Telling you that I see angels in my dreams is one thing, the first of the six spirits another thing… but to tell you that a baby Christmas tree on the outdoor stage was on fire without burning…
Sometimes I fall asleep, enter these visions or dreams and wonder if I had too much sugar that night.
Last night was one of those nights.
I dreamed that it was the next morning and hopped out of bed to go to the prayer rock as usual. Suddenly I notice that the little Christmas tree is no fire.
All aspirations of prayer to the wind, I sprint into the tent to grab the fire extinguisher and rush back outside. Only to notice that the tree is not burning. Heat comes off the fire in waves but the tree just chills there doing its ‘tree’ thing.
And then the fire speaks and things suddenly get very serious.
Spirit of the Lord:
“Abdiel, come closer. Draw near to me so that this refinement is of your own choice.
Each step closer is like stepping towards a furnace. I take the first step and feel the unbearable heat stab at my skin. I take another step and I smell my hair burning off my body. I take another step and scream as my skin is flayed from me. Still screaming in the worst pain I have ever experienced, I take another step forward. The heat cooks me, flesh falling from my bones in chunks.
I don’t feel the pain anymore, my nerve endings are burned off. I only feel a strange coldness where they were as my mortal body falls and disappears around my bones.
I am stripped to a bright skeleton. The memory of the pain I have just experienced lingers for a while and then I feel nothing.
Now new nerves begin to grow and new flesh grows around my bones. Muscle, sinews, veins and arteries spread over my bones and I feel a brand you heart and a brain new brain being formed.
This new heart does not fight my spirit like the old one used to. This new mind is free of the cluttered priorities of insecure materialism. The new blood in my veins feels new, refined, smoother in operation.
I am a completely new being, physically and spiritually. My new mouth and tongue speak only truth and love. My new body will not let me speak in fear, it simply is not made for anything but a display of heavenly love and power.
I stand and marvel at this new wonder and wait for the fire to speak again.
Spirit of the Lord:
“Those who surrender themselves to the refining fire shall truly become rivers of heaven. Love shall flow through them unhindered and the arrows of the enemy shall no longer pierce their skin.
They are new creations, reformed in the image of Christ, hungry only to do the will of the Father.
Now you must take note Abdiel, for this shall answer the question that billions ask.
I, the spirit of the Lord, am the one who not only knows what is upon your scroll but wrote it with the Father. And you, being eternal beings who have forgotten who they are, perish for lack of knowing who you are and what you are here to do.
It is I who speaks to you to remind you of your assignment. It is I who burns the impurities from you and baptises you with fire when you have repented for the forgiveness of sins and have been baptised as Jesus Himself was baptised.
But most of you, forgetting that you are the light of this world, the salt of this earth and a lighthouse on a hill, hate the refining fires that I bring. If you were to know that the refining lasts for a night and joy comes in the morning, you would not resist the refinement so.
You cling to the cares of this world with such passionate desperation that you are half in the fire and half out of the fire. And that which should take a few moments ends up taking years.
Do you not know that God opposes the proud? Do you not know that the haughty will be brought low and humbled?
We work to create the eternal you. We work to refine you here on earth so that you may be peacemakers who show the fruit of the spirit.
But to the carnal minded, this life is all there is. They work to sear their conscience so that they may wallow in sin with wild abandon like pigs in mud.
The gospel is utter foolishness to them and they have no use for such pearls in their pig pens.
You, however, should know better. You are eternal beings as we are eternal beings and you must prioritise eternal objectives over the worthless objectives of this world.
What possible physical thing do you think you can take with you into eternity? When you leave this place, you take only that which I refine, your soul and spirit. Come then, surrender your heart so that I may reform you and renew your mind. Come so that you may become the heavenly version of you on earth.
Let me strip away every blemish so that you are free from guilt and shame. Let me burn away the spirit of fear so that love, power and a sound mind can take its place.
To walk in the perfection of your assignment, you must have a new mind. A refined mid. Behold, the old is gone and the new has come. But the old must be burned away in the fires of obedience. And those who worship me often will have an accelerated outpouring of fire to burn away the chaff that hinders them so.
Do you wish to be perfect as your Father is perfect? Then allow me to burn way every imperfection.
Look up Abdiel!”
I look to the sky and I see the entire sky ablaze with liquid fire.
Spirit of the Lord:
“Do not fear those who can hurt your body, reject you, humiliate you and criticize you. Fear me. It is a healthy fear. For I bring the fire that refines a man so that he is all that his destiny requires of him.
Abdiel. You must teach them that they are eternal, that all that they think important In this life is worthless. Teach them to think with eternal motives.
The Gatherer angels are my angels. They take my fire and burn up the chaff.
The sons and daughters of God draw nearer to me in times of trouble, they come closer into the flame. They cry out ‘create in me a clean heart, and renew my spirit within me’. They do this because eternity is their priority.
It is far wiser to pursue the things of the spirit than the things of the flesh. In doing so, all that is flesh will serve to advance the kingdom. The keys to the floodgates of heaven are in the spirit, you cannot open them from the realm of the flesh.
Thus you must eagerly desire and pursue spiritual gifts and hunger to spend more time with me so that you are completely focused on your blueprint, your original assignment, your destiny!
Do not be discouraged or frustrated when you face trials, they serve to create the eternal you. Rejoice in what you face, let the spirit of might carry you through every test. Let the spirits of Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding speed up the process and let the spirit of counsel keep you calm.
Not every test is from God but the wise man lets every test work for God.
Hunger to become more Christlike every day.
Forget what the former, look at the new thing that is being done in you, become a new creation, a creation that effortlessly displays the fruit of the spirit.
For a tree is known by its fruit and if you do not display the fruit of the spirit then you cannot properly say that you are filled with the spirit.
I am the refiners fire, I serve to continuously cleanse impurities. Embrace me, learn from me, rejoice in your fire!
I am the seven lamp stands, I am the fire that refines you for each of the seven spirits of God. I am the crucible that creates the heavenly version of you.
Make the kingdom your everything and that which has lasted months and years shall pass in a single night. Do not kick against me. To kick against the goads makes it worse for the ox.
Your stubbornness is nothing but fuel to my fire. I refine you for your sake and for heaven’s sake.
Do not be so small minded as to think that this life is all there is. Neither must you be so ignorant as to think that heaven is a place for those who embrace bitterness.
If you do not forgive, you will not forgiven.
Open your ears. Open your ears. Open your ears.
Forgiveness is the refining fire that tests your ability to love.
Do you hear me Abdiel?
To walk in criticism and judgement is to keep your hand in the fire. For I work to refine you, to create the eternal you. Rebel against this revelation at your own peril.
For the stubborn fool, the refining fire becomes the eternal fire.
You are already in the fire. Let it do its work.
Heaven has no use for your selfishness, short temper, bitter grudges, critical assessment and refusal forgive those who sin against you.
I will test you over and over again until those things are burned out of you.
And your assignment has no use for timidity, fear of humiliation, fear of rejection and concern for public opinion. I will refine you until you are concerned only with the approval of God.
You anger at me does nothing but make me turn up the heat.
You cannot manipulate me or bribe me. You cannot negotiate with me.
If you want the refining to stop, draw near to me so that I may remove every impurity!
The kingdom is all Abdiel, and this is an eternal kingdom.
The humble pass their tests. The humble receive grace. The humble are lifted up!
Heaven promotes the humble.
Mammon promotes the proud. God opposes them, we want nothing to do with them.
All of heaven desires that you live a life of abundance, that you are a river of prosperity.
But if you do not show the fruit of the spirit and advance the kingdom of God with all that has been given to you, I will bring my fire and burn down all that threatens to take your soul.
I will strip my beloved children naked, to the bone if I must, so that they may have eternal life.
I will burn away all your riches if I need to. For your eternal self is all I care about.
You will never be tested beyond your capacity, none of this should be hard for you.
If it is hard for you, it is because you resist the calling.
Our yoke is easy, our burden is light.
Submit to God, then you only need to resist the devil and he will flee.
The kingdom is all Abdiel, and I am its refining fire!”
Me:
“And I shall draw near to you so that my impurities are burned away. I hunger and thirst to be a righteous man. Yes I am declared righteous but I hunger to display the fruit of righteousness.
For I am a wicked man, filled with the lusts of the flesh and the stubborn bitterness of an ignorant fool.
Create in me a clean heart oh God! And renew a right spirit within me!
Let your kingdom truly be all to me. Let my eyes be closed to the glory of man. Let my ears be closed to criticism and complaining.
Let my lips be lips of faith.
Let my mind be filled with the thoughts of the seven spirits who dwell before the throne of God!
Refine me oh God!
Change me, burn away the chaff, create the eternal me who is as a sweet fragrance in your nostrils.
There is nothing I desire more oh Lord, than to hear the words spoken from your lips: “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
Your kingdom is all. Your kingdom is all. Your kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
