Dreams Of Change-What Does Love Have to do with it?

dronesofheaven

Last night I had several dreams, but 2 stood out to me. The others were good, but they did not have the interesting aspects that these 2 had. Add in that I felt they were connected and had a value to bring change to my life and those around me. 

In my first dream, I went to a store that I do not frequent. A huge grocery store. Walking in, I noticed that many were not wearing masks. One person had a mask on, and I felt bewildered as I looked about. I watched how people were doing things. There seemed to be a carnival atmosphere. The one with the mask was upset, angry.

Look out! Where Will The Spirit of Division Lead us?

On Wednesday of this week, I had a dream about division. Removing people from the fold. Pulling them out of the game

People will be asking “where are they?”

The spirit of division.  

If I have learned one thing about Christ, it is every time I draw a line to keep people “out” I look over to see Christ on the other side of the line with the very people I wanted to “keep out”. And to quote Erin Reagan, maybe the reason for the line being drawn in the sand is so you can erase it!

Take the time to Let Your Light Shine

Many of us have read the parable about the wheat and the tares. (It is easier when it is the first book of the New Testament. 😊 ) Unfortunately, the reading of it hasn’t always brought the church to focus on souls, but instead a lot of finger-pointing at folks who do not do what people believe they ought to be doing. 

I want to give you a little of my pre-Christianity or pre-kingdom history. 

I was born in New England. My dad, “a lapsed Catholic” and my mom, who leaned more towards the Episcopalian and Congregational church thinking. My mom was the one who “took us to church”. But truth be told, other than the social piece, church gatherings seemed to have little to do with the Bible.

Lifting up the oppressed without destroying the oppressor

There are many people that are angry at others and they have made decisions according to their anger. 

Each day social media is filled with rants and raves.  The airwaves overwhelmed with statements of who is right and who is not. 

This week, the Pope, talking on Lent, said in partially improvised remarks, “is a time to give up useless words, gossip, rumours, tittle-tattle and speak to God on a first name basis,” he said. 

“We live in an atmosphere polluted by too much verbal violence, too many offensive and harmful words, which are amplified by the internet,” he said. “Today, people insult each other as if they were saying ‘Good Day.'”

Stop The Judgement! Love as you are loved

Earlier this week, I read the story of a young man and his wife who announced they were separating after 20 years of marriage. (Separation is not divorce, but who knows.) He also shared he was “not a Christian”. 

I met this young man over 20 years ago. An up and coming author, soon to be church leader, he was engaging and real.

Dreams FOr The Future

Last night I had a dream. In the dream there was a large stadium and 5 teachers. I was one of the teachers. The administration began to assign “students” to each teacher and what was to be taught. As the topics came, I was excited they were not mine. Finally, they got to me. They gave me “words to change history”. I jumped up excitedly, screaming “YES”. Then they gave me the students. These guys were “smart” but they just played around ALL THE TIME. They switched seats, changed their names, and more.

Judgement Free? Our choice?

I was on my way home from our church fellowship. I had just taught on “signs and wonders that follow” the believer. I shared many of the miracles of Jesus, as well as the healings that are spoken of. (37 collectively, though the scriptures in John 21:25, say “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” 

And then, I heard the words “judgement free”. Now, lots of people use those words, including Planet Fitness, but, what does it mean to the church at large?

A Series Of Dreams Indicating Change

I have always been a dreamer, often finding it difficult to separate the dream from the reality. Let me be real when I say, that dreams may well be a reality in another dimension, that ignite in our minds of this one.

If that causes you to check out so be it. But as you read thrugh the dreams of the Old Testament, where God came upon someone rather than being on the inside, if he were to reach you in a dream, it was from His realm and not yours. I get that He can reach you wherever He wants, but keep in mind you and I deal from a New Covenant reality. We do not understand what it was like then. We can “imagine” but that’s the end of the line for us. Continue reading A Series Of Dreams Indicating Change
