THINK ON HEAVENLY THINGS AND FOCUS ON CHRIST

When Jesus walked the Earth, He spoke to the Disciples in natural metaphors. In my dream, Christ spoke to me in the same fashion and gave me word pictures of Himself and of man. He revealed to us that both the saved and the unsaved were entering into a new paradigm of history. Each in his chosen direction, whether it is righteous or evil, will be in the extreme.

As I dreamt, he showed Himself as king, servant, man, God, the Way, as Revelation, and as the only one who could fill the empty void of hope found in mankind's psyche today. Granted, there are some nasty things on the horizon but if we do not fear, get our eyes off of the world, think on heavenly things, focus on Jesus through prayer, study (His Word), and our love for Him, we, as believers, will have a good spiritual 2014 and beyond. Christ is our hope of glory and soon coming husband.

Christ is not coming for a wounded, defeated, or limping Bride. He is coming for a holy and righteous Bride who is on fire for Him. He wants a bride who has a passion for Him and not just church on Sunday and Bible study on Wednesday (although these are great), but He wants a bride with a sold out mentality toward Him 24/7/365. He gave His all, including his life for us. . .it is now our turn.

. . .that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish [Ephesian 5:27 KJV].

As I metaphorically revisit and look out the 11th floor window, God continues to give me glimpses of things that are coming to the world. In my spirit, I do, in fact, perceive the collapse of the American dollar, a new currency, and a food shortage. I perceive a national gun registration, national gun confiscation, and eventual martial law. I perceive open borders. I perceive Obama as our first king and dictator for we are already mirroring the days of Octavius. America or the world will not fare so well this year or the next, but do not fear, we belong to the Lord and to His kingdom. We are in the world, but not of the world, and no one can snatch us out of His hand. War also looms on the horizon.

We are fast approaching the return of Christ. The signs are everywhere and unless other Watchmen start warning the people as well, they will not know that the day of the Lord is imminent and they will not be able to prepare for His coming.

2014 is the year of focus, favor, and of a great awakening. We should rightly be aware of the world around us and of the corrupt political climate, for it gives us keys in terms of the current place in prophecy. The Bible does warn us to be sober and vigilant. It also warns us to be aware of the signs of the times. However, do not fear, all these things must happen but the end is not yet. Instead, think on heavenly things for our lives are hid with Christ in God. We will just not dwell on or worry about what the world is doing but focus on Christ and His kingdom for His is our kingdom. What the Bible says WILL happen, and no one can change or fix it. If we haven't influenced the world enough to change its course in 2000 years, or changed God's mind in terms of eschatology. . .

It is Christ who saves, not the government. Ronald Reagan said it best and it is one of the reasons why progressives cringe at his name. He said, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem.

Since 9/11 we’ve been under judgment by God but we are in a period of grace right now. God always gives us the grace after judgment and a time to repent. If we do not repent, He brings more judgment. Alas, this period of grace is soon to end in 2014 for the world. So think on heavenly things and focus on Christ. Here are just a few Scriptures to help in this endeavor and for your edification. Speak them out loud because faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of Christ.

John 3:16
John 10:28
Romans 8:31-39; 10:17
Colossians 3:2, 4, 5
Hebrews 11:1; 12;2
1 Peter 3:15

OLD MAN'S DREAM: THE INTERPRETATION

God’s Word tells us to get our eyes off of the world and to think on heavenly things. God has not called us to save the world from itself or to solve its political views. Saving and convicting the world of its sins is Christ’s job, not ours. We are to concern ourselves with the lost and spreading the love of God in these last days.

Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth [Colossians 3:2].

As I lay there in bed thinking on whether to get up or not, that night’s dream planted itself in the forefront of my memory banks replaying each aspect. The Lord began speaking to my spirit explaining what I’d just experienced in la-la rem land. Insights into the dreams meaning started forming and I got the unction to listen up. I’ve learned to recognize that unction so I reached for my pad and pencil, which I keep by my bed and at different locations throughout my apartment at all times. I then communed with the Lord for about two hours that morning writing and listening. . .writing and listening. I’ve never had such a weird dream like that before. A story started to unfold, and it was all about Jesus.

When I felt that a business was in the process of moving, it was then that the Lord explained to me that in 2014, man would be entering full force into a new paradigm. A paradigm of focus and favor. There will also be a spiritual awakening. He reminded me of the beginning of my dream. God told me that it was man’s soul which would be changing.

History has been leading up to this moment of human events and spiritual awakening for decades, but has magnified over the last five years or so. The world finally has its leader. America is the last bastion of freedom. Where will people go to be free when America goes down? I’ll tell you where we can go to be free. We are free in Christ and need to return to Him. This is where we should go.

Therefore, today’s focus should be on the Lord. Man needs to return to Christ and get their eyes off of the world. We can learn about the full essence of God by studying the Gospels. In the book of Matthew, Christ is king. In the book of Mark, He is a servant. In Luke, Jesus is man and we can learn of His humanity there. Finally, in John, Jesus is God. God’s story continued, as the four Gospels became the four stacked ticker tapes that I briefly saw in my dream.

Not with an audible voice but with the inaudible voice that comes deep from within your psyche, the Lord told me that He was the elevator and that His Spirit would take us to all truth and to our destination(s). God will meet us where we are at but once He's there, up is the only way to go. Christ is the Way to anywhere we want to go for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

I remember entering the elevator and that many people in suits got on with me. Their demeanor said that they did not even know I was there. In other words, they did not perceive what I perceived and I was evidently in the Spirit. They looked right through me. After the elevator moved up, people started getting off on different floors. No one spoke a word the entire trip. I asked the Lord, “Who were those people?” The Lord told me that they were the elect who have been deceived and who were at different levels of their faith. He said not to worry because no one could snatch them from His hand. I perceived that those passengers were not seeking the fullness of God, and were satisfied with the floor on which they got off.They were luke warm.

I remember vividly when I reached the 11th floor, which was as far as the elevator went. I believe that the Lord did not tell me the spiritual significance of the number 11 at that moment because it was above the level of my understanding in terms of the prophetic. We are to wait on the Lord for the interpretation. If we do not wait, we can slip into our own understanding. We all prophesy in part and the Lord wanted me to learn something about the number 11. So He sent me a prophet. Later, after hearing my dream, the prophet told me that I had just stepped into a new level of prophetic revelation because that was what the number 11 meant spiritually, “prophetic revelation.” Many believers are experiencing dreams, thoughts, and revelation today of the number 11's significance.

After I’d disembarked the elevator, I remember going to a row of windows and looking down at the hustle bustle of all the people going to and fro. They were all totally oblivious to what was going on in the world and most of them probably didn’t care. They probably didn't even realize that they were supposed to care. They seemed to only have concerns of what they were doing, where they were going, and for whatever reasons. They were unaware that anyone was looking down on them – me or God. The Lord said that these people were all the unsaved people of the world and that they were our mission field. The city was abuzz with thousands of unsaved people. There are so many souls Lord and so little time.

At first I perceived that the empty cafeteria signified a food shortage that was soon coming. I perceived this in my spirit. However, it was deeper than that. The thing is, I had not waited on the Lord to receive my interpretation. Believers are experiencing worldwide persecution, even to the point of death, and many have not even a crumb of hope to sustain them spiritually, which the counter-top barrenness signified. People are looking for a way out of this morass of government takeover and corruption. On the one hand, it is man run amuck. However, on the other hand, man is also open and looking for a way to safety. Jesus Christ is THE WAY and He is the bread of life and our ultimate glory when we are caught up with Him. Get on the elevator brothers and sisters and come up to the 11th floor.

The Lord said that the entirety of the 11th floor was revelation and the Good News message because Jesus Christ IS revelation. In 2014, we, as believers, will boldly come out of our closets, metaphorically take the elevator to the 11th floor to receive (our) message, and begin to give that message of hope, grace, salvation, and the Good News. However, there will be much persecution for our boldness! Many will not recognize the land in which they used to call America anymore. It will be reminiscent to the days of Octavius.

After reading my dream, the prophet said that in 2014, fresh bread was coming to the body and it will revive hope, give encouragement, and the joy of men’s hearts will return to God’s people, and they will be true bearers of the Good News. An interpreter said that the 11th floor could also represent the 11th hour, which many think that we are in today. I say that it is 11:59.

So. . .

GET OUR EYES OFF OF THE WORLD: The night after my dream, the Lord kept me up most of the night exhorting me in my spirit. He showed me what men think of first and He reminded me that it was what I thought of first as well before I realized that this message was from Him. I had looked at the lack of food and the collapse of the dollar first before the Lord and I had our discussion. This is not to say that there isn’t going to be a collapse of the dollar and a food shortage but it was my own understanding at first and not the interpretation of my dream. However, God was patient with me and began revealing to me what my dream actually meant. Not many look to the spiritual connotations of any given situation first. God wants us to look to Him first. So. . .get our eyes off of the world. Focus on Christ. This is the message of my dream.

Next week we will look at point three and four, Think on heavenly things and focus on Christ.

AN OLD MAN'S DREAM

The Bible says that young men will see visions and old men will dream dreams [Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17]. Wednesday night I qualified for old man status.

Actually, I can understand dreaming about a girlfriend, wife, or about an exciting trip that I may soon be taking. I can even imagine dreaming about that 30 pound salmon that is swimming in my favorite river and waiting for that hook to drop in the water with a huge juicy worm on the end. However, to dream about something that is totally off the wall crazy and doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, has God’s fingerprint all over it. Either that or. . .I have finally slipped a cog. You be the judge.

The dream went like this.

I was inside what appeared to be place of business in downtown USA when I saw what I thought was a sign. It really wasn’t really a sign per se, but looked more like four stacked ticker-tape strips with writing on them. I could see the letters but couldn’t read the words. As soon as I saw the sign, it disappeared. I got the sense that that the business was moving shop to another location.

The next thing I remember is entering an elevator in a high-rise building. Evidently, this was the new location of the business. I don’t know how many people got on the elevator with me but there was no conversation and they all looked right through me. They were apparently oblivious to my presence. It’s like I wasn't there – but I was there. They were all dressed in suits. I had absolutely no idea why I was there, where I was going, or on what floor I needed to disembark.

The elevator stopped and everybody but myself, got off. I do not know on what floor they got off or whether it is even important. All I know is, I stayed on the elevator. The door closed and I rode to the top floor, which according to the indicator above the door, was the 11th floor. Of that, I am sure.

I got off and the doors shut behind me. I walked over to the row of windows that lined the wall and looked down on the hustle bustle of the city. Everyone below went about their daily lives and business totally unaware that there was someone observing them from above.

I moved away from the windows and scouted the floor area. It actually looked like a deserted cafeteria. It had a couple of small hung shelves on the wall. There was a peninsula type counter that held a register and glass counter-top cabinet that could have held things like pastry and sandwiches. The only thing is, there wasn’t even a crumb to be found – anywhere. I was the only person on the 11th floor.

And I woke up.

I laid there in bed trying to process what I had just dreamt. Was this a dream from God or was this just a stupid dream from nowhere and meant nothing? After going over the dream in my mind, the Lord began revealing to me some of the aspects of my dream.

I will post my brief interpretation this coming Monday. Time will tell if it is from God or not. If the aspects of this dream do not transpire, then it was pizza, and I have slipped a cog. In any event, I have obeyed what I feel is from God.

Any dream interpreters out there. See if it gels with what I am hearing.

DO NOT FEAR

With China dumping their gold, the collapse of the American dollar looming, the White House spending us and our children's children into oblivion, the registration of weapons leading to confiscation, the decimation of the military through the purging of generals and high ranking leaders with martial law to follow, the threat of nuclear war on the horizon, the Patriot Act, NDAA, TSA, NSA, IRS, F and Ms Lybia, Benghazi, the Nationionalization of the healthcare-system/mortgage-industry/auto-industry/banks/student-loans, Machiavellian politics, Keynesian economics, and the list goes on and on and on and on ad infinitum, to where 2014 promises not to be a very good year for America or the world.

Major things are about to happen, if not in 2014, very shortly thereafter. Look for the collapse of the American dollar. Also for the nationwide registration of all weapons, which WILL lead to confiscation? Gun confiscation will lead to an uprising of the people. This is NOT because of the safety cries of the left but is that of power and control. They cannot control us unless we are unarmed. To bring on the NWO, four things must happen:

The destruction of the monetary system
The death of Patriotism
The destruction of the evangelical faith
The destruction of the traditional family

But brothers and sisters, fear not, these are only birthing pangs of a new kingdom that is yet to come, which is at the door as we speak (Matthew 24:33), hallelujah! Many things must come to pass but the end is yet to come.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet [Matthew 24:6 KJV (Matthew 24)].

The whole world is birthing right now and they see the same signs of the times as we do. However, they have rejected the only hope. They’ve determined to forget God and build a man-made New Age of Peace and Prosperity here on Earth.

Satan is doing his best today to hinder us in our faith [1 Thessalonians 2:18]. Therefore maintain your faith, have patience [Revelation 14:12], and wait on the Lord [Psalms 27:14]. We’ve read the end of The Book and we win. The Bible is very clear as to what we are to do and not do in these last days of human government. So, point one,

DO NOT FEAR [Hebrews 13:6]. The shofar is about to blow. Be prepared because the Lord is about to abduct His Bride.

Next week we will look at point two, Get Your Eyes Off Of The World.
