As a dog returns to his own vomit, So a fool repeats his folly. Proverbs 26:11
I had an interesting dream last night and one I remembered which is not often. When looking back at it, I had no idea what the dream was about, so I prayed for the Lord to open my eyes to it. So he revealed it. But first let’s explain the dream.
This one had me on a big bus driving it, like a school bus. I started out kind of in the middle of the land and drove north to then go south west. At first I did not understand this part but it was me moving from Iowa to spending time in Minnesota, before coming here to Baja. The place I came to was like a big summer camp, a lot of people and no one really lived there. I parked the bus and was walking around the place, and then decided to go back to where I came from, regressing the exact way I came including going to Minnesota. But it was clear to me to not go back, so I parked the bus and went into a big hall area with beds and a cooking and eating area. I then started to cook and prepare a meal.
Part of it was still in a pan and the pan fell off the table onto the floor. I cleaned up the best I could and put what was left in to a place with the other food and it was ready to serve. I noticed in the one bed was about 10 people of all ages. One I recognized, she was someone who rents from us. And then I woke up.
So here is the first thing, how many of you have crazy weird dreams like this and do not even pay attention to them, thinking they are just some crazy dream because of a movie you saw or something, and chalk it up to nothing? My first thought was that, it was just some crazy dream meaning nothing.
But because I seeked the Lords word on the dream to show me what meaning it had, he showed me. The long and short of it is he was showing me my journey, from Iowa to Minnesota to Baja. But more so two main points, first do not regress. Do not return to your vomit. Make sure you stay in me and with me where I put you. And second the bus and beds were showing me that the people are coming and seeking also for truth, the Spiritual food they need. A big bus like the old school buses held around 100 people, and the beds I saw could hold about 100 people. And the food prepared could feed about 100 people. Interesting because I did not buy the food, nor did I prepare much of it at all. The table was already set I just added to it.
Also the food that fell on the floor was wasted, but the Lord made the point that there will be a lot of wasted food, but do not worry. I am the provider and will never leave you hungry.
Looking at where I am in life, it makes sense. I know where I came from and where God brought me to and why. I sort of know how Yeshua felt when hung on the cross all alone. Why he said when entering Jerusalem he said, “oh Jerusalem if you only knew!”
I wearn people and warn them and no one listens, they have their own life, their own religion and beliefs because of it about salvation and their peace. They do not understand they follow the god of this world, satan and not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If you try to warn them they tell you you’re crazy, or think who are you to tell me? They say you are judging them… They come up with any and every excuse to not come to know Yeshua their savior and Lord. And instead crucify him as did the Jews.
The other interesting thing was the devotional “utmost for his Highest.” It spoke of God giving you a dream or vision and then forming you into the man you need to be to make the dream happen. Note the story of Joseph and how his brothers would bow down to him, but instead immediately they beat him and threw him into a well to die. Then took him back out and sold him to the Egyptians as a slave. Then he spent 10 years in jail before he became a trusted advisor to the king. And after a few more years, when the fathom happened and Joseph’s brothers were starving, they went to Egypt to get some food and bowed down to Joseph. How many years before the dream came true, and more importantly how much work Yehweh did in Joseph before he was ready!?!?
Then about 4 hours later my wife informed me that one of her friends wants to come and talk as she is having troubles with her fiance and she is seeking the Lord for what to do. The way my wife put it, she wants to hear from me, more than her. Because they talk a lot already. This couple was at our home a few weeks back and we briefly spoke about some of the things of God, and what he taught me. Something stuck with her about it.
So back to the dream and tie all this together. First thing is we must go through many things to become the man God expects us to be, so he can use us to disciple the nations. We cannot go back to our vomit, we must stay where he puts us and let us be a vessel through which he feeds his sheep. We are to feed the sheep, not physical food but Spiritually speaking. And it is not about us preparing some amazing servant using a bunch of verses from the bible to make a point. Because immediately when My wife told me the word to share was also put on my mind. He told me in a split second to tell them the vision or revelation he gave me many years ago about Love. And what it is in his eyes. What he taught me the hard way. Because even though I do not know much about their problems nor does it matter to me. What I do know is the Love of God, if lived out in our life. It will fix everything else.
We must all learn, and we do only through the school of hard knocks. I cannot learn the lesson by listening to another person’s stories. They must be learned by experience, we must suffer before we come to seek truth. As I have said many times, I have lived many of the stories of the men of the bible. I also read them many times in life and never really understood nor cared until I lived it. Then I understood.
So the message for this woman is simple, your suffering is to create something in you that far outweighs the suffering you are going through. And to teach what real love is so she can live it instead of this fake mushy touchy love which rolls you back and forth like the ocean.
The Lord has taught me all these lessons not just to make me Holy and bring me to heaven. He taught me so they can be shared with others who are going through similar problems I went through.
That is the purpose of the bible, for the Lord to take what has happened to other men and explain to you what you are going through and why. The problem is we do not listen to the Lord and seek him. We instead seek men counselors, our preachers’ advice. We make the bible our word instead of Yeshua. And then wonder why we suffer such and never grow into a Holy and righteous man? Well, the last part is partially true because these days the men do not believe it is possible to be a righteous and Holy man. They believe they will always be sinners and that the God of the heavens is not able to make us Holy. But then they are listening to their god, satan and do not even get that. Their god is not about to make anyone holy nor does he want you to believe you can be. So their god is doing a great job of teaching them.
If you want God’s peace, love and joy, you must seek God and his truth. Hear him and obey him. Then he will do his work in you to make you into the dream or vision he gives. But you must hear and obey in order for him to do his work in you. This is where the religious generation misses out by making the bible their word, while heaping up men teachers to tell them what they want to hear instead of hearing God. The bible cannot do this, and men teachers cannot lead you into all righteousness. Only the working of the Holy Spirit and making Yeshua your teacher can.
