FIRM FOUNDATIONSong by Cody CarnesReleased December 2021Written during a “shaky season” - (covid, political unrest, riots, etc.)Based on what Jesus teaches us in: Matthew 7:24-27Jesus tells this parable at the end of the sermon on the mount Sermon that teaches people how to live. Matthew 7:24-27 (NIV) “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”Sand Castle - crumbling from below when the water hitsA solid foundation, like a rock, stays put and everything built upon it stays strongBuild your house on GOD GOD IS OUR FOUNDATION “Christ is my firm foundation” ~ “The Rock on which I stand” ~ “My house is built on you” “I'm standing strong on you” ~ “I've built my life on Jesus” ~ “I'm safe with You”Isaiah 26:4 (ESV) Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.Psalm 62:6 (ESV) He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken.Psalm 18:2 (ESV) The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my strongholdDon't know what we've put our faith in until we weather a stormWe can see how solid our foundation is when we go through a storm2020 revealed that for a lot of people THERE WILL BE STORMS “When everything around me is shaking” ~ “Joy in chaos” ~ “Rain came, wind blew”John 16:33 (NIV) “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”Storms are promised Caused by: the enemy - since the Garden of EdenOthers - impacted by their selfish motivationsOurselves - Not doing what God tells us - Doing the oppositeJesus experienced storms - metaphorically and literallyIn the boat with the disciples - sleeping during the storm - Matthew 8:24-27 “Suddenly a furious storm came up… waves swept over the boat. Save us! We're gonna drown! You of little faith. Why are you afraid?” Walking on water to meet his disciples - Matthew 14:22-33 but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. Calls Peter out of the boat - when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. Walked through the storm on water - a firm foundation because of his faithDon't doubt the one who you are putting your faith in. James 1:2-3 (NIV) Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.This doesn't make sense until you go through something and experience the joy of drawing closer to God. James 1:6 (NIV) But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. Don't look at the storm or your circumstances. Look to the one who can save youSpeak God's promises over your life, over your situationGOD IS WITH YOU “He's faithful through generations” ~ “I've got peace that makes no sense” ~ “I'm gonna make it through”Psalm 100:5 NIV For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.Deuteronomy 7:9 NIV Bible story after story of God's faithfulness - from beginning to endGarden of Eden to Revelations Bible full of stories of people messing upForgives us - gives us chance after chanceGod makes a way - sent Jesus Philippians 4:6-7 NIV Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Peace that makes no sense The feeling of the holy spirit wrapping his arms around meStorm didn't end, but everything was going to be alright Joshua 1:9 NIV …Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”Stand on the rock of Christ - not crushed by fear. Faith in the one who made you - not fear in the storm around you!Hebrews 13:5 NIV Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”Deuteronomy 31:8 ESVWe put our faith in a lot of things. Money- too much, too littleThe bridges we drive over. - person who welded or boltedThe tires on our cars - blow offThe roof over our heads - crashes downOurselves - disappointment - wrong expectationsOur family, friends - death or betrayal - disappointmentOur health - failing Speak God's promises over your life. Speak God's truth! PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS“I've never been more glad that I put my faith in Jesus” ~ “He's never let me down” ~ “He won't (fail)”James 4:8 NIV Come near to God and he will come near to you.Why do I have faith in Jesus? As I have drawn nearer to God, he has drawn nearer to me.As I seek him, he is there. You need to seek him. Faith without works is dead. Believe through your actions. Not just your words. He has shown up in the storms of my life. 1 John 5:4 ESV For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.I have experienced what the bible talks about. Victory from the stormThose moments are anchor points for me. My foundation (faith) is firm and growing. Ephesians 2:8 ESV For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GodIt is not by my own doing but through the grace of God who has saved me. He's never let me down. I have let myself down, others have let me down, but not God. Not always the way I thought he'd bring me throughBut always faithful! John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.The basis of my foundation is this! I believe Jesus came and died for our sins. I believe in his resurrection powerI sing because Jesus died for me. He alone is worthy of praise. - GREAT ARE YOU LORD!

As we kick off our new Becoming Like Jesus series, Andy shares how we can describe who God is to ourselves.

Van De Venter28:43 Message StartMessage Notes:Things to Remember When You Suffer for the name of Jesus1. Suffering disgrace for His name is not a punishment, it is a privilege.Acts 5:41 (NIV)“The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.”1 Peter 4:12-14,16 (NLT)“don't be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you...it is no shame to suffer for being a Christian. Praise God for the privilege of being called by his name!”Philippians 1:29 (ESV) "For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake”2. God will give you boldness stand for His name sake in the time of suffering.Acts 4:29-31 (NLT) “O Lord, hear their threats, and give us, your servants, great boldness in preaching your word. Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.After this prayer, the meeting place shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. Then they preached the word of God with boldness.”Ephesians 3:9-12 (ESV) “God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him.”3. God will use your suffering for good and your blessing.1 Peter 4:14 (ESV) "If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.”Matthew 5:11-12 (ESV) “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven”

In the same way that Jesus resurrected from the dead, He offers us resurrection in our lives too. Praise the Lord! (4/9/23)

Enjoy Journey Worship's cover of "Great Are You Lord" by Cross Worship featuring Osby Berry

Psalm 19 is a blueprint to how God wants to be worshiped, by creation doing what it was created to do. The silence is actually the sound of something being what it was created to be. Creation living out the unspoken truth. The truth that a great God created you, and that Creator is deserving of our lives living out, and singing out the phrase, Great Are You Lord.

Tests Prove Who is the Bride (8) (Audio) David Eells - 6/19/22  Open Doors Allow Distractions and Demons Claire Pienaar - 12/31/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed Riaan had been out all night and I left the front security gate open with the keys inside it for him. I switched off the lights and got under the bed covers. Our room was completely white and we had a really plush down feather comforter… (Representing resting in comfort of the Holy Spirit and purity.) I was sleeping with a little baby boy next to me in a bassinet. (Our spiritual man, Christ in us, is at rest.)  However, when Riaan came home he entered in through the back kitchen door. (Entering in by the back door is trying to come up another way as Jesus said. We must go through the front door which is Jesus.) At 5:30am, 4 young puppies bound onto our bed. They were beige and tan and quite playful and cute. (This would, of coarse, disturb the rest and soil the white bedding.) (These puppies represent the distractions of the flesh. Their immaturity represents something that we think is benign in our own lives, but our Father wants ALL FLESH and distractions or idols gone, and wants us spotless and blemishless. (Which is impossible with 4 dogs in the bed.) Also, the number “4” represents the “world," so this represents the fleshly or worldly distractions, no matter how well-intentioned they might be.). Their jumping on the bed frightened me and they were not ours, so we did not entertain them for a second. (We do not accept anything unclean or impure, we are to only accept the perfectly white nature, character and authority of Christ from His Word).  Riaan said, “How did they get in?” And I realized that I had left the door open in the dead of night. (Demonic influences of darkness can come in if we leave the door opened.) The night was so pretty and there were fireflies and I wanted Riaan to see that scene when he arrived home, but he did not because he came in the back door. (Satan is Beelzebub, the lord of the flies, and he uses his flies or demons with their fiery darts when we leave an open door.)  (Riaan: There could be two different warnings here. 1. We need to make sure everything is closed off to the enemy. No curses can come on us when we abide in the secret place and remain righteous. (And be humble to the Word.) 2. There is only one way to enter into the rest, only the front door, which is Jesus. There's no back way into the kingdom or you run the risk of dirtying the bed with dogs which represent little demons, curses or fleshly distractions.). One of the dogs was named Milo (Milo means "soft-hearted, merciful”.) (We must not have pity on the flesh or be “soft-hearted and merciful” towards the demons.) I asked the Lord for the other names and received the following in my spirit... Reviling, which is to criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner, Doubt, which is double-mindedness, and I can't remember the fourth “puppy” demon's name. (Riaan: ...Let's make the corrections required: Ensure the house of the Lord, which is our bodies, are secured properly to the attacks of the enemy and that we enter by Christ alone and no other way.) I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and received 2 Sam 2:11, with my finger on Hebron. Hebron means “alliance or friendship." (We should have no alliances with dogs or demons. Eph 5:11  and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,  but rather even reprove them.)   The Bride Needs to Pick up Her Trash LaKeisha Watson - 5/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that Local UBM was seated in neat rows or columns. There was a little bit of trash underneath our seats. (The Bride still has a little cleaning up to do.) I saw David going around everyone and picking up their trash alone. As he got closer to me, I felt embarrassed that I wasn't helping him yet and then I began to pick up my trash.  I had two cans of sprite. One was empty and the other was partly filled. I remember not wanting to look bad in front of David. Then I woke up. (The definition of Sprite is - A small or elusive supernatural being; an elf or pixie. An elf-like person. We need to clean the little demons out of our life.)    Bride Tempted to Rely on Self Works  Claire Pienaar - 05/28/22 (David's notes in red)  … I dreamed I was in a restaurant called Tribes. (A restaurant called Tribes represents factions in the apostate Church who are feeding their false doctrines to people.) I used to work there as a student. (Many start out as students in the apostate Church system.) Two of my bosses from previous jobs were there. One boss was named Kerry, meaning “dark haired”. (She represents those who are submitted to darkness according to 1 Co. 11.) The other one was Grace Khoza, a dark-skinned African. (Her last name means “Fire of God”. (She represents the fiery trials that the Lord sends to chastise or refine us).  Both of my old bosses were trying to get me to work for them but I refused. I knew I needed to homeschool my children because: It's what God requires of me, my husband wants me to do it, and I and My children love it. (Tit. 2:3-5 ...that aged women likewise … 5 to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.) Both women were trying to tell me that the “hours are minimal” and “the pay is good” and “we need your expertise” and “it's remote work”. I just wasn't buying any of it. Then they started commenting on my car and said we could finally be a “two car family” or I could have “an upgrade” with the “extra cash I earn”. (The devil and the desires of the flesh are constantly trying to tempt us to go back to Egypt and it's ways.) Again, I knew the Lord had designed the current situation of having only one car for us to grow in Christ. (Having only one car represents our vehicle or vessel being one with Christ.) ... Then they asked questions like “Aren't you bored?” Or “Why can't you see how much potential you have?” These were to sway me to work for them.  When I got in my car to drive it, the ignition had been tampered with and the battery wasn't connecting to the ignition. (People around us are often manipulative to try and get us to do what they want, but we must resist this to stay in what the Holy Spirit tells us to do.) They called a girl named Lysandrea to come help me drive home. (Her name means “liberator” or “free man”.) (I have seen when the factious are overcome by those spirits. They claim they feel “free” because they have totally departed from the crucified life and the restraint of the Word of God. They now have a license to excess with a seared conscience.) I told her, “I know how to fix my car” but she would not give me the keys to drive it. (Riaan: The enemy is sending distractions of the world to test God's elect. Dwelling on these distractions disconnects us from the power of the Holy Spirit that we need to power our vessels.)  I looked at all these people... and said, “I am happy with my life. Thank you for your interest in me but I serve the Lord”. (Riaan: Amen! Another opportunity to choose the Lord by his grace.)  I tried to fix my car, but the thought to pray and lay hands on it could not get from my brain to my dream. I was so freaked out at not remembering to pray in faith. What was I thinking? Then I woke up. (This was particularly perplexing because I felt my conscious mind start to pray but in the dream I had lost the thought to do so.) (How often, when faced with adverse circumstances, do we think of everything we could do in the flesh to save ourselves, but we forget to pray until we have exhausted all our self efforts.)  (Wow. That's the power of the enemy when it comes to flattery of the self and offering the things of the world. The spirit man immediately decreases in power. It is evident that even thinking or dwelling on fleshly thoughts are an opening for the enemy to take hold and suggest self efforts to stop your prayers of faith. ... Then I woke up.  (The righteous shall live by faith in the promises of God not in their own ingenuity. We must learn to cease from our own works to enter into the supernatural life through faith in the promises.)    The Bride Body Distracted By Serpent Spirits  Claire Pienaar - 5/28/22 (David's notes in red) I (Representing the Bride) dreamed I was going to go away to Durban for two nights. (Durban is a port city of eastern South Africa ... Currently, over the past two months the weather warfare over this region has been relentless, with much devastation). The reason for my wanting to go there was that I wanted to spend some time with the Lord. (Durban is a year-round resort city, too, which represents being in the rest). (The Bride is always seeking the Lord in sanctification. She is at rest knowing that Christ in her will do the works.) I was at the airport to fly. (Flight represents overcoming the world.) My friend Kelly (meaning, “ strife and war”.) was there and she said she was going to Durban too, and that she would show me around. (As we will see “Kelly” represents warring serpent spirits that attack our minds.) I didn't need that, all I wanted was a hotel room to be with the Lord. I kept being friendly to her but It was clear to me that we were going for two different reasons. I was going to be with the Lord and she was going for a weekend of partying. (We must not be friendly or welcoming to the enemies thoughts or distractions or we may get caught up in them.)  (Riaan: Kelly represents the strife or war on our thoughts that come in to try and distract us. We must fight against these tactics of the enemy.)  It seemed she was flying with me in the same airplane, and when we touched down in Durban, she told me her mother was there and I could stay with her. I said “no” and told her that I wanted to get to my pre-booked hotel room. (We should avoid putting ourselves under the mother Church which will lead us back to being under the law or apostasy.)  Instead, Kelly took me to another very fancy hotel and we walked around the top level of it, where there was an extremely opulent restaurant. I was very impressed with the restaurant, but I did not feel like I belonged there. (This restaurant represents partaking of the wrong kind of spiritual food. The flesh loves to indulge itself with opulence meaning, wealthy, rich, or affluent. All of this tends to influence us to pride and competition instead of humility. This reminds me of a dream my friend had of going into a tall building looking for Jesus. He went to the top floor and when the elevator opened he saw a dragon so he went to the bottom floor and saw Jesus teaching His disciples.) She kept on wanting to get us a table outside and sit right next to the bar, but I kept on saying that wouldn't be wise. (1 Pe. 5:8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.) The tables were big, and we ... eventually sat down, and I was amazed at the good service and amazing food. Then I noticed a golden calf right in the middle of the restaurant. I thought, “I cannot eat here!” (We should not eat the food of idolatry.) (The Israelites made a golden calf and called it Elohim because they wanted a God that would allow them to return to the ways of Egypt. If we allow ourselves to indulge in the food of idolatry with our fleshly nature and mind then we get swept away with worldly distractions and become more and more antichrist in our thinking.) I watched as waiters brought food to people. There was some excellent looking salmon that was beautifully presented and plated, etc, but I did not have anything on my plate. (Riaan: We should only partake of the bread of the Word which is our spiritual food.) (To us their food is vanity and not food for the spiritual man.) ...Then in the dream I had a vision of Riaan walking with our son Daniel on the beach in front of my pre-booked hotel room. I really wanted to be part of that scene, rather than all this action in the restaurant. That's what I had come for: time to rest with the Lord. (Riaan: The Bride is the one who only loves Jesus as her husband, longs for the fruit of Christ and to be part of Abraham's promised seed of Israel by faith, represented by the sandy beach.)  So I kept trying to get to the pre-booked hotel room. It was difficult. My legs were like lead and I could not will myself to get up and get going. Then I woke up. (I believe I was experiencing witchcraft in the dream. Also, this is a warning that the enemy will try various stall-and-delay tactics to distract and try to derail those who are part of the corporate Bride body.) (The world has a seducing influence that weakens the spiritual man. This seduction is a distraction. How many times, when we sit down to read the Word of the Lord, do things pop into our head that we feel we need to do, which by comparison are totally unimportant.)    Bride Weak But Saved by the Word Eve Brast: Testimony - 12/21/19  (David's notes in red) (This is a most important revelation for this time.  I believe that God had Eve act out a warning for those who are contending for the Bride and even life itself. This will help many to repent of distractions of addictions to internet, politics, hobbies, sex, excitement, etc. so they can concentrate on running the race to bear fruit before someone takes their crown and they are delivered over to the Dragon.) I would like to share a recent experience that led to God giving me this dream. I hadn't realized how far I had gotten away from the foundational teachings that endeared me to UBM until recently. When I first came to this ministry I fed on "Sovereign God" and the "Real Good News" series for months and months and it gave me a hunger and excitement to read the Word. I had never really understood the Bible before listening to the "Panoramic Bible Studies" and reading "Hidden Manna For the End-Times." Slowly through the years, because of persecutions and trials of my faith that I had failed, I began listening to the voice of discouragement. I found myself worn down, kind of on “auto-pilot” just going through the motions with "faith and belief." I said I believed for different situations and I knew all the right things to say, but deep down the fears and doubts were screaming all the “what-ifs” to my mind. Over time, the enemy came in very gradually and with great stealth to steal all the wonderful foundational truths that I had started out with. This put my spirit man into confusion and made me weak to fight against the wiles of the devil.  Recently I had been struggling with my flesh over the entertainment of watching You-tube videos which was eating up all of my spare time. I was addicted and no longer in the Word or feeding my spirit man to keep Him strong and defended against the enemy. My conscience knew that I hadn't been a good steward of my time. I knew I was in a battle with my flesh! First, I moved the You-tube app to the last page on my phone screen hoping that it would give me enough pause to reconsider getting on it and wasting time, but that didn't work. It only took a second to flip over to the last screen page and click the app. This really frustrated me and caused me to keep falling into condemnation which wasn't helping the situation at all! I finally got so sick of the battle that I deleted You-tube from my phone altogether. And since I had been so addicted to watching it, I would still, out of pure habit, pick up my phone to get on You-tube.  Then I would realize it was no longer accessible on my phone and then spiritual sanity would kick in. I was then able to go and read the Word or spend time in prayer or listen to the foundational teachings that are now strengthening my faith and belief again in the promises of God. I finally feel like my spiritual life and relationship with the Lord is being restored and I don't even miss the Youtube videos at all. It was all just useless distractions; a plan of the enemy to render me ineffective for the kingdom. I hope this testimony and dream below will be a helpful admonishment, as it was for me and an encouragement also to all my UBM brethren.   Forgetting the Place of Rest Due to Distractions Eve Brast - 12/21/19 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was at a huge hospital / hotel complex. (The Bride is like a hospital and hotel in that it is a place of healing and it is many houses built together into a holy temple in the Lord as Ephesians says.) It had a 7 story parking garage attached to the building as well as several other huge parking lots surrounding the premises. (The parking garage represents our vehicle or body at rest from works through faith that come from the promises of God.)   (This hospital / hotel represents the kingdom of God where His righteous servants accommodate those entering the kingdom and minister the healing of the water of the Word to them. Eze. 47: 9-12  And it shall come to pass, that every living creature which swarmeth, in every place whither the rivers come, shall live; and there shall be a very great multitude of fish; for these waters are come thither, and the waters of the sea shall be healed, and everything shall live whithersoever the river cometh. 10 And it shall come to pass, that fishers shall stand by it: from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim shall be a place for the spreading of nets; their fish shall be after their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many. 11 But the miry places thereof, and the marshes thereof, shall not be healed; they shall be given up to salt. (They represent the waters of the Word that are not living and active and healing. Living waters are called so in the Bible because they are moving and constantly being refreshed from above. Whereas these miry places are the swamp of dead religion; even dead right doctrine that doesn't meet the need.)  (Here are the living waters that heal) 12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not whither, neither shall the fruit thereof fail: it shall bring forth new fruit every month, because the waters thereof issue out of the sanctuary; and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for healing. The 7 story parking garage represents the 7 days of creation in which God rested on the 7th day and the 7-1000 year days. Now we are commanded to keep a continual Sabbath rest from our own works and efforts.)  (Also the 7th day of rest from our works was the highest most mature point in the building; a goal we all must reach.) Along with this revelation Eve received by faith at random in our morning prayer meeting on 12/24/19 this text about entering the rest and her finger was on “believed” do enter into that rest." Heb 4:1-11  Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it.  2  For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard.  3  For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.  4  For he hath said somewhere of the seventh day on this wise, And God rested on the seventh day from all his works;  5  and in this place again, They shall not enter into my rest.  6  Seeing therefore it remaineth that some should enter thereinto, and they to whom the good tidings were before preached failed to enter in because of disobedience,  7  he again defineth a certain day, To-day, saying in David so long a time afterward (even as hath been said before), Today if ye shall hear his voice, Harden not your hearts.  8  For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken afterward of another day.  9  There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God. (This word for sabbath is “sabbatismos” meaning a continual rest from our works, not just one day.) 10  For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. 11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no man fall after the same example of disobedience. (Notice our works are disobedience and cause a fall.) It was dark outside and throughout the whole dream I was walking around over all the multiple parking lots trying to find my vehicle because I had forgotten where I had parked it. (This is a very dark time and we can't afford to stray away from the living Word and the place of rest.  (Everyone must find his or her vehicle at rest because of the Word living in them.) The vehicles in the parking lots represent our lives at rest while God is doing the work.)  I was so frustrated that I couldn't find my vehicle. In the dream I had a rechargeable flashlight that Brandy had bought for me in real life and I was trying to use it to help me find my vehicle. But it kept flickering and going out on me because I had failed to recharge it. (This represents failing to consistently stay in the Word and recharge our mind and our faith. When we get away from the Word it becomes dark to our spiritual sight and our discernment suffers. We become easy targets for the enemy to distract us and get us out of the faith and the rest.) The flashlight would stay on for about 30 seconds and then flicker off. I would then turn it off and wait a few minutes to see if I could turn it back on. It would have enough juice to stay on for a few more moments and then it would go dead again. Psa. 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.  Pro 20:27  The spirit of man is the lamp of Jehovah, Searching all his innermost parts. (The wise virgins had oil in their lamps and the rest were distracted and missed the King when he came. No doubt they thought they were ready. In the parable of the sower, 3 of 4 were distracted and bore no fruit.)  Mat 13:19-23  When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side.  20  And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it;  21  yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth.  22  And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.  23  And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.) Finally, it quit working all together and I was really regretting forgetting to charge it back up. (Charge up your spirit man in the Word to find your body at rest from fruitless works.) (Jas. 1:21-25  21 Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. 23 For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But he that looketh into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and so continueth, being not a hearer that forgetteth but a doer that worketh, this man shall be blessed in his doing.) I made my way back inside the hospital / hotel and as I walked into the lighted lobby I suddenly remembered that I had parked my vehicle on the fifth floor of the parking garage! (Getting back into the light of the Word and the Kingdom will renew our minds and help us get back to the foundational principles that saved us in the beginning from the old nature and the curse.) Rom. 12:2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. So I approached a blonde haired lady (Representing being submitted to the light of the Son) who was dressed in a pink knit top (Representing the color of love) that worked there and I asked her which elevator led up to the fifth floor of the parking garage. (The number 5 symbolizes God's grace, goodness and favor toward humans and is mentioned 318 times in Scripture. Five multiplied by itself is 25 and represents 'grace upon grace'.) She pointed to my right over to an isolated silver service elevator and said, “It's right over there.” So I walked over to the elevator and pushed the button to go up and the door opened almost immediately. As I was stepping in to the elevator I noticed a very tall thin homeless looking man at the back of the elevator. (This represents the “old man” who lost his house to the new man but constantly works to gain it back again.)  He had on tan jeans and a tan and maroon, plaid, long sleeve shirt. (Representing works that are not white, an unclean heart and walk.)(This man represents my old man/nature who is in rebellion to the Word of God represented by the tan color of his clothing. Tan was the color of the Nazi's uniforms. The maroon color in the plaid shirt represents the blood that the old man is guilty of. Rev. 16:6  for they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood hast thou given them to drink: they are worthy.) He had long wavy dirty blonde hair and a matching beard. He was dirty and his clothes were dingy.  I immediately didn't feel comfortable being on the elevator with him and tried to step towards the quickly closing elevator door but it was too late. The doors closed and the elevator started going up. This homeless man began talking about all the bad things that could possibly happen and speaking all sorts of word curses to me. (He will rob your faith and resulting fruit.)  I kept casting it all down and countering it with statements of faith but he wouldn't shut up. I began pushing buttons, indiscriminately, trying to stop the elevator on any floor just to get away from the homeless man and his evil mouth.  (David teaches a good parable about Joshua conquering the five kings who represent the five senses of our fallen nature. These are the things we rely on when we listen to our old man of the flesh and rely on his senses. Jos. 10:16-27  And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. 17 And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. 18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them:  (Rocks represent Jesus, the Word, covering our mouths, which causes us to resist such thoughts and words. Then we can put to death the old man. We cannot conquer our promised land so long as the old man is permitted to speak from our mouth what we've learned from the carnal senses. Isa 11:2-4  And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Jehovah.  3  And his delight shall be in the fear of Jehovah; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears;  4  but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.) Back to our text in Joshua 10:19 but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand. 20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, 21 that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.  22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. 24 And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. (So they cannot speak and put to death our spiritual man.)  And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. (We must fight the good fight of the faith and defeat the fleshly enemies in our promised land!) (By not permitting their distractions, thoughts and words we will win. If we get distracted by the things of the world and forget to recharge our batteries we will have no power to resist the old man. Our minds will be full of worldliness that has no power over self. 3 out or 4 fall away because of this.)  26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. (The old man crucified) 27 And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day.)(The old man cannot speak with a rope around his neck or dead in the cave and blocked by the Word.)   Back to Eve's dream: Suddenly, the elevator jammed and we became stuck between the fifth and sixth floors. (Falling Short of reaching the 7th floor of rest because the old man is speaking.) (When we allow fear and anxiety to rule us, allowing the old man to speak, we become stuck in a nowhere land between faith and rest, and the works of man and the flesh. Jas. 1:2-7  Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3 Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4 And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.  5 But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8 a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.) (We can't afford to not receive what we need from the Lord but the Word brings forth faith but distractions bring double mindedness which in the Greek means two-souled. Rom 10:17  So belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.) The door opened momentarily and I could look down and see several blonde headed people gathered near the elevator on the fifth floor. They were talking and laughing and enjoying each other's company. (These represent brethren who are in the rest having faith towards God and submitted to the Son and the Word.) The door then closed quickly because the elevator sensor realized that it was between floors and that the situation was unsafe. (When we hear the convicting word the door is open … but not for long, because disobeying our conscience defiles it and it speaks quieter and quieter until we hear it no more. So we see this is an unsafe condition that we must avoid or be one of those 3 out of 4 who bore no fruit.) The homeless man continued talking and saying things that put fear into my heart. I began pacing inside the elevator and I was starting to panic that no one would hear my calls for help and that I would be stuck there forever. (Some will never break free from the old man's words and forever be fruitless.) There was no roof on this elevator so I could see the shaft above. (So looking upwards in the shaft towards the 7th floor represents seeing the end from the beginning which is what faith is. Luke 8:14 And that which fell among the thorns, these are they that have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. The word here for perfection is “telesphoreo” which means, "to bring to completion with the end in view." This is the only place in the Bible where this particular word is used. "Calling the things that be not as though they were.” We must have the end in view by faith before we can arrive there. 2 Co. 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.)  Then, as I looked up the shaft I glanced over to my right and I saw what looked like the attic of a house. (The attic is a parallel vision representing looking up the elevator shaft.) It was lined with pink fiberglass insulation in between all the wooden rafters. (Pink represents love.) I noticed a blonde haired, blue eyed little boy who was toddler aged. He was dressed in just a white cloth diaper with a diaper pin. He was walking precariously, balancing on the wooden rafters in between the pink fiberglass insulation. He was happy and didn't seem aware of any danger. (This represents our spiritual fruit of Christ in us having been born, i.e. seen by the world. Our spirit man or man-child is only in danger when we are listening to our old man and not looking up towards God. Our old man will put to death our new spirit man if we are not receiving grace from God because of our rebellion and self-will.) (Our spiritual man of Christ in us will fall from his high position in God where "the rest" is.)  Rom. 8:12-17 12 So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 13 for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For ye received not the spirit of bondage again unto fear; but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him .) I told him that he needed to get down from there immediately before he got hurt. So he obediently came over right away and crawled down into my arms. (When we are in fear the spiritual man is in our hands and in danger. He cannot retain the high place in God and we fail to attain to the corporate Bride or Man-child body.) As I held him I was thinking of a way that I could escape this situation but fear and despair were dominating my mind as the homeless man continued to talk. There seemed to be an urgency to find my vehicle (at rest) and I was becoming anxious and fretful because of all the thoughts that were running through my mind. But the little boy didn't seem worried at all. (The spiritual man is the one with faith but he must be permitted to speak it.) (2 Co. 10:3-5  3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;). Then I woke up. These are verses we received by faith at random at this time for the morning meetings that confirm this dream: Eve - Mat. 17:20 (17-20) 17 And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me. 18 And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour. 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out? 20 And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Tim - 2 Sa. 22:29 For thou art my lamp, O Jehovah; And Jehovah will lighten my darkness. Missy - 1 Pe. 1:13-25  13 Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance: 15 but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living; 16 because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy. 17 And if ye call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to each man's work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear: 18 knowing that ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from your vain manner of life handed down from your fathers; 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, even the blood of Christ: 20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was manifested at the end of times for your sake, 21 who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.  22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another from the heart fervently: 23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth. 24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth: 25 But the word of the Lord abideth for ever. And this is the word of good tidings which was preached unto you. Leon -  Mat. 25: 3-13  3 For the foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them: 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 Now while the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 But at midnight there is a cry, Behold, the bridegroom! Come ye forth to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are going out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Peradventure there will not be enough for us and you: go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went away to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage feast: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour. The moral of this story is stop being distracted by the old man with things that have no eternal value or you will not bear fruit and will miss the Bride and possibly heaven itself and will become a victim of the dragon.   Jesus is so Desirous of Us Debbie Fenske - 5/30/22 Last evening, during our worship, and praise to the Lord Jesus, I began discerning, quite heavily, that He wished to speak something to us. We were singing, Great Are You Lord. I discerned that it was not that He did not welcome our worship and praise. He did. But I knew something was on His heart. So, I said to Him, “Jesus, please speak to me what is on Your heart for us.” I shared what Jesus was speaking to me through these first two songs after we had sung them. He was saying, “Do you know how I wait for you? I long for you to draw near to Me. Though you do come before me, there is so much unrest, so much anxiety over other things that you must accomplish. How I need you, My people, to desire Me, to desire to come before Me, above all things, spending time with me in quietness and rest. For, when you do come before Me there is hurriedness, unrest, and anxiety. Where is the quietness? Where is the rest?” Then The Lord led us to sing, Eagles Wings, about our yearning for Him, and about our waiting for Him, But as we sang this to Him, He was wanting us to hear Him directing them to us. “Oh My children, how I wait for you. I wait for you to come to me, to abide with me in My presence. Let Me draw you. Let Me bring you to your knees. I am your quietness, your rest, and your strength. I am all that you need. Hear Me, My children. Even the very works that you do for My kingdom becomes mere works when you give Me so little time where, first, you could receive from Me anointed strength, and supernatural refreshing. You cannot find these things in yourself through the good things that you do for others, or for My kingdom. Time with Me in quietness and calm is of the essence. For I will even expand time for you, time, especially, to do all I have given you to do for Me and My kingdom. I know your heart's desire to glorify My name. Know that my heart's desire is for you, My people, to find your rest, and your quietness in Me alone. So, come rest with Me.” Then we we sang to the Lord, In Your Presence. During the song, I received a vision of Jesus kneeling down, upright on His knees. He wore a light blue robe. I was standing in front of Him. I know I represented each of us. His hands gently reached out for mine, inviting me to kneel down with Him. In the vision, as I gave Him my hands, I could literally feel the touch of His hands in mine as I knelt down in front of Him with my head bowed. End of vision. Isa. 30:15  For thus said the Lord, the Holy One of Israel: In returning, and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness, and in confidence shall be your strength. Father, thank you. Let it not be that you would ever have to say of us, “But ye would not…”     Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Azerbaijani Basque Belarusian Bengali Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Esperanto Estonian Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Korean Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lithuanian Luxembourgish Macedonian Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Romanian Russian Samoan Scots Gaelic Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Turkish Turkmen Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version
