– “In
all this I was not afraid of the
challenge to
my
position of authority in Christ (North),
of the spying
of the enemy in my dressing room
(South)
nor
of the threat of
evil
represented by Phantom” (West).
(Excerpt from Vision Three)
We believe
that it is
never God's intent to create fear in the hearts of Christians through
visions or prophetic insights. These visions are essentially a message
to be alert and ready to stand firmly in our authority as Christians in
the face of worldly and spiritual opposition to the inner peace that is
ours through the gospel of grace.
To the best of
our
discernment at this time, the pertinently symbolic words are underlined
in each vision and the applicable meanings given in chronological order
after each vision.
WHAT THE
MESSAGES MEAN
One Vision
or dream may have multiple messages. There
is always a primary message and there may be
secondary
messages. The revelation of these
messages can be immediate or be developed over time. I believe the
messenger
has the most authority in deciphering the interpretation since only he
or she
experienced the sensations and emotions of the vision/dream, so is the
best
judge as to the interpretation.
Sidenote:
The second vision did not
record that when the person in the vision was facing the three wolves,
there
were three dogs standing behind her, but they didn’t do anything – thus
were
ineffective. It is important to
understand that when writing down visions and dreams there are so many
details
it can be challenging to decipher which points are important and which
are just
backdrop information. It was in
discussion between the three messengers that we felt that the dogs were
an
important item.
Given
the
discussions the three messengers have had regarding the visions of 8/8/2005
this is
the common theme.
The church
is divided into 3 camps. In one camp are the believers who have
salvation, but
not sanctification. The second camp is
composed of believers who have salvation and some sanctification, but
either do
not know about, understand or refuse to use their God-given authority
in the
spiritual realm. The third camp is
believers who have salvation and sanctification to the degree that they
are
aware of their power through Christ Jesus and are willing to take up
this
authority to forcefully advance the kingdom of God.
The first vision reveals what will happen to
the first camp of
believers: they
will be easily deceived and will be taken captive by Satan although
they
will not lose their salvation. Basically they will be completely ineffective
in God’s Kingdom on earth.
The second
vision speaks about the second camp: they have freedom and will not be
taken
captive, but they will meekly watch the battle in fear, instead of
using their
authority to stand up to Satan’s plans. Even
though they are free, they too are ineffective.
The third
vision reveals that: believers in the third camp are empowered by their
submission to God and are rewarded for using the gifts and authority He
has
given them (to His glory). These
believers will fight the battle
of the
Lord and will not be afraid of Satan’s attack. Neither
will they be afraid of the future and the
unknown battles to
come. They will by God’s authority stand
up face to face with evil and not be afraid. They
will not allow Satan to gain any ground in
their faith, in their
authority, in their churches, or anywhere God has given them domain.
These
messages are meant to be a warning and an exhortation. Are you
willing to submit everything to Him
in order to fulfill his will in your life?
Are you truly willing to travel down the lifelong process of
sanctification
in order to be free and to be an effective warrior for the Lord?
Everyone has a calling on their life and the
journey is one of self sacrifice that leads to true
serving.
You already serve the Lord in some capacity,
choose soon which camp you will belong to.
Vision One: The Three
Catastrophes
This
is the
essence
of the dream I received from the Spirit last night (8/8/05).
Two
catastrophes and the specter
of a third that will come upon the
earth:
The
first catastrophe was seen by me and then removed from my memory so
that I
could not give warning of it. The first will come without warning and
many
people will be moving about unsure of where to go as a result of it. It
will occur to the south of the second catastrophe.
The
second catastrophe, which is to the north of the first was
experienced in this way - I was standing out side of a building
in a
suburban area that I was not familiar with. Suddenly a very large chunk
of
earth with city buildings on the top of it hurtled through the
air and
crashed into the earth a few miles away from me. It looked as
if a
giant invisible hand must have scooped a section of a city
with the
earth attached below it and thrown it through the air. As it
crashed to
the earth pieces of it exploded upward and outward.
Some
of the
pieces
were coming directly toward me and I began to move backward while I
tried to
gauge where they would fall. They fell very close to me and smaller
pieces
burst upward and continued coming toward me. As I turned and began to run
(slowly for some reason) a piece hit the back of my head.
As it
struck me it disintegrated into a fine dust that settled over
my head,
but, I was not harmed by it at all. During all of this I
felt
no fear
- only a great sense of astonishment and ominous dread.
After
this I entered the building that I
was near.
Entering a
room and kneeling down I began looking through
somebody's boxes of
personal belongings. I thought,
"All these things were just left here like this and all the people have
gone away."
But then I
noticed
a room with some people in it who were going about their lives as if
nothing
had happened. In fact they seemed to be floating through the
air as if
they were weightless. I had the thought that this was strange but
not
unexpected. Then I left that building and began to head south.
The
third catastrophe was preceded by strange signs in the sky to the west
just above the horizon. People will look up and say "What does this
mean" and "Who can interpret this?" The signs preceding the
third catastrophe were seen by me as I began heading to the south after
the
catastrophe in the north. They looked like images of people talking and
such,
almost like viewing a number of detached television screens in the
sky. I
began to think, "Well, I don't want to stay here in the north and the
west
is looking kind of ominous now but is the south safe to return
to? So I
began to hesitate as I was going south...Then the dream ended.
In all of
this, I never looked to the East.
And
I awoke from the dream before seeing the third catastrophe come to
pass.
Throughout
the dream there was a strong sense
of ominous dread
or impending disaster from above, yet, no experience of fear
personally.

Summary
of Vision One
(To the best of
our
discernment at this time, the pertinent symbolism
and the applicable meanings are presented here for this vision.)
In
each vision, especially
Vision Two and Three, the participant/viewers of the visions are to be
understood as symbolic representations of Christians that may be
experiencing the
actuality of the visions.
Vision
One:
There
are three
future "catastrophes" that seem to be essentially spiritual or religous
rather than physical
in
nature.
The
second Mirriam Webster definition of the word "catastrophe" below seems
to be most appropriate to the meaning intended in the vision.
Mirriam
Webster Online Dictionary-
1 : the final event
of the dramatic
action especially of a tragedy
2
:
a momentous
tragic event ranging from extreme misfortune to utter overthrow or ruin
3 a : a violent and
sudden change in a
feature of the earth b : a violent
usually destructive
natural event (as a supernova)
4 : utter failure
The first will come suddenly, without warning
and there will be
considerable confusion as a result. It is represented as occurring in
the
South, but that is probably only a symbolic representation of the enemy’s
camp and natural
as opposed to spiritual. The
second catastrophe represented by the North( Spiritual judgment
by God) occurs within view of the inhabitants of
a building ( The church
itself ) A very large chunk of earth with city
buildings (the church or Christianity as we know it) on the top of it hurtles through the air
and crashes into the earth a few miles away exploding representing devastating
change. This will be a trial represented
by the slow running from the explosion which will bring Thoughts
of
the mind to be full of Dismay as
represented by “a piece hit the back of my head. As it
struck me
it disintegrated into a fine dust that settled over my head”
Entering
the nearby building ( The
church itself ) the vision participant kneels indicating Submission/total
surrender by Christians to the
devastating change occurring with Christianity. Their absence from the
room
indicates their sudden absence from the church as the vision reports… ‘I
thought, "All these things were just left here like this and all the
people have gone away." ‘
Another
room is located
with people calmly floating/flying through the air representing a
peace-giving
connection to the Holy
Spirit.
The
third catastrophe is
preceded by ‘strange
signs in the sky to the west just above the
horizon. People will look up and say "What does this mean" and
"Who can interpret this?"’ The West represents the coming
of night or
evening upon
the corporate Christian Church as we
now experience it and tremendous spiritual warfare coming upon the Earth.
People
will anxiously wonder where they might find safety but
they will for the most part, be so focused on their circumstances that
they
fail to take the time to look to the East (God’s light;) or act for (God’s glory).
The
vision ends with the participant noting an awareness of
impending disaster but no experience of fear personally. This is a
cumulative
exhortation appearing in all three visions to Christians not to allow
fear to
overtake them in response to their circumstances.
Vision Two: The Three
Wolves
I
also had
a dream or more of a visit from the
Lord last night (8/8/05).
A
being of
some form
came to
me that
seemed formless, yet clearly of shape and substance... He carried a large
black pot. It was irrelevant who he was, and I didn't seem to
need to
ask anything about him, only to understand his purpose.
The
large black pot that he carried was
some sort of bean pot. It was sealed with a lid that he folded in
on
itself. The lid was a half circle in design, and the front half
slid
inside the back half to reveal what was kept inside. I was very
drawn to
understand how this lid worked, and it was significant that the
lid could
not just be lifted totally off, but remained in place and only allowed
a
partial view of what was to come.
As
he
opened the lid I watched a scene in
this pot, as wolves were released on the earth. They were
solid black
in color with the appearance, not so much of being large, as they
were
powerful. Their appearance was incredibly muscular in form, with
long
black scruffy hair. Their purpose was to instill fear and
anxiety.
They
entered my home, three of
them. One was clearly the leader, the other a baby and the
third quietly
stayed in the back round. I stood in front of them and told
them they
could not come in, this was not their territory. The
baby rose up to show his great power even
in his small stature. I felt nothing, no fear and said that
they must
leave now. They were clearly disappointed and hung their heads,
almost shamefully because they could not make me feel fear. They
turned
and walked from my house.
Then I saw
the other people who had
allowed fear to enter by the wolves’ presence. They were being
lead into
pens and stockpiled like sheep being led to slaughter. The fear
seemed to
blind them so they would not resist. They were calm and docile as
they
were piled together in these pens. They appeared unaware
that they
could resist. There were countless people calmly walking into
these penned
areas. They were not being driven by the wolves; the wolves were
nowhere
to be seen. Once the people had experienced the fear from the presence
of the
wolves they just went to the pens. They were being driven by the
spirit
of fear.
That
was
the end of the visit. I don't
seem to remember the presence of this being leaving or putting any
closure
to this.
That was
all.

Summary
of Vision Two
(To
the best of
our
discernment at this time, the pertinent symbolism
and
the
applicable meanings are presented here for
this vision.)
Vision
Two:
In
Vision Two, the participant/viewer
of the
vision
indicates a visit by "A
being of some form" (God's
messenger) carrying a large black
pot representing (quick devastation). The
vision participant was shown a scene within the pot whereas wolves
(planning to destroy
Gods flock) were released on the earth. They
were solid black in color (Opposite of white and
purity/demonic
army). Three of them, representing (Complete), entered the viewers home
representing the church/ center
of the family or family of God; people in the church are the household
of God. One was clearly the leader, the other a baby,
representing in this case, ungodly ministry in its infancy stage and the third quietly stayed in the back
round. The baby, representing ungodly ministry in its infancy
stage, rose up, attempting to intimidate the
viewer.
The
participant stood (standing
on or committed to a point of view or belief ) in front
of them and told them authoritatively (compelling
them) that they could not come in;
this was not their territory.
"They
were clearly
disappointed and hung their heads, almost shamefully" because they
could
not make the viewer feel fear. They turned and walked from the house
(center
of the family or family of God; people in the church are the
household of God) hanging their heads,
representing their spiritual authority, because
they could not cause the participant to respond in fear.
The
vision concludes with people (Christians) being led into bondage
because of
their fears. “Once the
people had experienced the fear from the presence of
the wolves they just went
to the pens. They were being driven by the spirit of fear.”
Vision
Three: The Three Spirits
That
same
night
(8/8/05) I went upstairs to my room and my chair to
spend time
with God. This is my 'sanctuary' and when I am awake
no evil
presence has been allowed to enter.
I
walked in
and an
evil presence was sitting in my chair. It was white,
about my size
and without any defined features. I walked up to it and said,
'You
have no authority to be here, you must leave'. It was
stubborn and
did not believe me so I reiterated the command (all this in Jesus'
name) and it
got up and left through the door.
As
it left I saw a hidden companion,
a smaller
spirit that
was hunched over and had been waiting and observing in my
dressing
area. It also left because it was a servant and advisor to the
other who
was the authority. The smaller spirit left through the back way
(through
the bathroom).
In
my
time with God I submitted my whole life to him, specifically in
regards to
being single (which may or may not be relevant to any of this).
When I sat
down again He crowned me
with a unique spiral shaped crown
that
was silver and had many small diamonds. A moment
later I
looked over at my cat, Phantom, and apparently by the
work of a
spirit
(not because she was possessed) she was glaring at me with intense
hatred but
restraint was upon her.
I
determined that it was necessary
to exert my authority over her, so I stared
her down and felt immense power go out from
my body toward her. She closed her eyes and bowed her head.
In all this
I was not
afraid of the challenge to my position of
authority in Christ, of the spying of
the enemy in my dressing room
nor of the threat of evil represented by
Phantom.

Summary
of Vision Three
(To
the best of
our
discernment at this time, the pertinent symbolism
and
the
applicable meanings are presented here for
this vision.)
Vision
Three:
The
vision participant first notes the day of the
vision which corresponds to the first and second vision - 8/8/05.
The
participant travels “upstairs (Going
higher in the
Spirit)
to my room and my chair”
(place
of dominion)
to spend time with God
and refers to the room as a 'sanctuary' (the
dwelling place of
God/ His habitation in the body of Christ)
where “when I am awake no evil presence has been allowed to
enter.” But
upon entering the room an evil presence is found to be in the sanctuary
(the
dwelling place of God/ His habitation in the body of Christ)
and sitting upon the participant’s chair (place
of dominion).
It
is
described as white (can
also be purely evil -
An angel of light/false righteousness ) and
about the same size as the viewer of the vision. The participant “walked
up to it” representing living in the Spirit and
because of resistance from the demonic presence, twice said (compelled)
in the name of Jesus, 'You
have no authority to be here, you must leave'. It then
“got up and left through the door” (the
spiritual opening it had found to
enter the room) revealing a smaller
spirit who is described as hunched over, waiting and
observing, and
servant and advisor to the other who was the primary authority. The smaller spirit left through the bathroom
representing cleansing; removing; expelling. The
smaller spirit leaving through the bathroom instead of the main
door to the area that the first spirit used also suggests various
routes of
infiltration into the “sanctuary” that the spirit’s have found
opportunity
through.
The
participant
then “sat down upon the usurped (throne
of authority/place of authority)
and He (God) “crowned me with a unique spiral shaped crown
(To
rule and reign)
representing
restored authority. The crown was silver (very
precious to God) representing
God’s feeling for the restored person in the seat
of authority and had many small diamonds on it representing (gifts
of the spirit) that
are available to those who would choose to stand up to the spiritual
forces and
exercise their authority in Christ.”
Shortly
thereafter, the
participant notices the cat representing a crafty
unclean spirit “glaring
at me with intense hatred but restraint was upon her.”
Refusing to be intimidated by the scare tactic the remaining spirit
attempts,
the participant ‘stares the cat/spirit down’ representing unflinching
faith in
the power of the Christian’s authority in Christ. Great power is
experienced
flowing out toward the spirit. The cat responds
by “closing her eyes” (unnatural
desire for someone else’s possession)
and bowing her head (authority) to the authority of the faith-filled
believer.
Finally, the
participant, who is throughout the vision representing individual
Christians, states
that in “all this I was not afraid of the
challenge to my position of authority in Christ, of the spying
of the enemy in my dressing room nor of the threat of
evil represented by Phantom (the last spirit).
This
is an
exhortation to hold fast to our faith when we are spiritually
challenged in our
Christian experience in these three different ways – by threat and
intimidation (the threat of evil represented by
Phantom), by the presence of evil men or spirits looking for
opportunity
against us (the spying of the
enemy in my dressing room) and by
those who would look to undermine or usurp our faith regarding our
spiritual authority
in Christ and our place within the body of Christ
(the challenge to my position of authority in
Christ).
Other
symbolically significant words:
Nine:
Fruit of the Spirit; gifts of the Spirit; finality; harvest;
fullness of development. (Matt.
27:
45; Judges 4:
1-3; Gal. 5: 22-23; 1 Cor.
12: 4-11)
