hello.
man i'm really sorry to do this but for some reason it won't let me start a new topic so i thought i'd start one here and maybe somebody can move it to a new topic.
my life is a living hell. everything just got REALLY bad whenever i was Born Again sometime around July 2004.
fast forward to now. i'm 19 years old. i got no friends, my family doesn't understand me. there's this on going war between me and my dad and i'm tired of it. everyday is the SAME as the day before. i got no job, i'm looking. i'm DYING to get my own house, some friends, and a job and just my own LIFE. it's even deeper than what I just explained but that's the starting point. I hate this, I am SO SICK of it. For TOO LONG NOW this has been going on.
God is Sovereign. He gives and takes away. He puts me in this pit for His good pleasure.
but i had this dream almost a year ago.
there's this Big Beach. And I'm I am in this beachside restraunt and whenever I would go from room to room in this place, someone would greet me kindly.
at one point, I'm looking out this back of this place that goes onto the beach. There's these steps that people can walk down and out onto the Beach. I see this HUGE bolt of Lightning come down out in the Ocean and I KNOW that some thunder is Coming next. I Close my Ears.
But it's still so loud. And here's the thing about the Thunders. Each time it Thundered, It sounded EXACTLY the same as the One before. It Thundered FOUR Times. And everything about them was PERFECT. They sounded the same, the same time in between each crack, etc... It was as if someone was Controlling them. There was no sun from what I remember. Just dark clouds.
People started running and I'm running out on the Beach and then these Waves from the Ocean crash over me. When I come to, I believe it was sunny now and I take this kid named Kyle by the hand and lead him up onto the Beach. Then I go and look for others.
And that's that.
Thanks.
Dear One...
Do not fret... for you are abiding in the Arms of the Lord, He will not desert you. The reason why your life is “hell” for the past 3 years is because when some (not all) choose the “straight and NARROW path” in Christ, then the spiritual Enemy will launch a “counter attack”. This is a very “SPECIAL SIGN” that YOU are reserved by God for a very SPECIAL PURPOSE and ROLE in Christ where you will do great damage to the demonic agenda, and thusly so, the demonic realm has mobilized against you to thwart God’s plan for you, because the demons greatly “fear” what the Lord will do through you, for it is going to be REALLY BIG. Any Christian who is a demonic target of heavy spiritual attacks is an indication of the individual’s THREAT to the demonic realm. Consequently, the demonic nature desires to circumvent that future threat by wearing you down and to discourage you, because you are the Lord’s “TOP SECRET WEAPON” or “SPECIAL AGENT”.
Also, because you have become a Christian, you have “defected” from the “other side”… it’s sort of like in the realm of spies and secret agents during the Cold War between the U.S. and Soviet Union… while an undercover agent is with his Soviet comrades they were his friends, but when he chose to “defect” to the oppositional side, say the U.S., then his former comrade friends suddenly became his vowed enemies bent on eradicating him. This is what occurs in the spiritual world, while we as non-Believers were in the World, our inherent demons were our “friends”, our “comrades”, not actually making their presences or influences known to us. But when we “defected” to Christ, SUDDENLY, the demons proclaim us as their vowed enemy and they manifest great turmoil for us in the Real.
Yes, you are correct, God has put you in the midst of your pit for a purpose (as Joseph was in the pit), and you are a “seed” planted there to bring Christ to your WHOLE family and this is part of God’s plan through you. Believe the IMPOSSIBLE; He will do this for you and your family; and even MORE, for look at Joseph who became a mighty man who was greatly blessed by God. Now, be careful in the midst of the turmoil as not to engage in “hatred” for your situation or against your family members, instead be very mindful that it is not the flesh you battle against, your family members, but the demonic realm that is responsible for the turmoil and influencing your family members with resistance to your choice in Christ, and their revile to the Presence of Christ in you. Put on the whole Armor of God, and use the Divine Weapon, “LOVE”. The more turmoil, the more resistance, the more hate that the Enemy musters up in your love ones, then the more LOVE you will magnify and pour on. Do not hate for this is exactly what the Enemy desires, for hate from you will actually “feed” the turmoil against you and cause “self-cursing”. Be extremely mindful of your words, bless, do not curse, for regardless both will return to you magnified. Do the opposite of hate… LOVE. Believe me, this will indeed work… my father was an alcoholic who beat my mother terribly and life in our household was a living hell. Then one day I choice to LOVE my father no matter what, and then one day out of the blue he just stopped drinking, cold. And finally we had a father and son relationship, and he began to reciprocate the LOVE back to me. That was in the last two years of his life.
Now, to your “FANTASTIC DREAM OF GREAT HOPE”…
The BIG BEACH in your dream is a symbol of the unsaved multitudes of the Earth. The “restaurant” with the “kind-spoken people” is a symbol of “Restoration” and “Rest” in Christ and it also represents the coming new “AGE OF RESTOREIA”, being the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. This is the great hope presented in your dream that all the Creation and we in Christ are striving for. The “HUGE LIGHTNING BOLT” is the God of the Universe, and the “Perfect Thunder” that is “Controlled by Someone” is the “Voice of God”, HIMSELF, He Who is in “CONTROL”, for He is the “Someone” that controls His Own Voice. The “ocean” or the “sea” is a symbol of the “wicked nations”. The Voice of God that thundered FOUR times is the Lord telling you that He has for you a great and miraculous “breakthrough” into His CREATION, for 4 represents the ‘Creation” and the “material”, that will be released to you in the FOURTH YEAR of your walk in Christ. It will be “materialized” in 4 years. This will occur in the 20th year of your life, being the “year of expectancy” as 20 years the Ark of the Covenant waited at Kirjathjearim (1 Sam 7:2), and as 20 years Jacob waited to get possession of his wives and property (Gen 21:38 & 41).
The four years are essential for you to grow in Christ, mature your trust in Him despite the “appearances” of your circumstances (no job, no friends, hopelessness and parental friction), and for the alignment of the great commission that the Lord has for you, for He is raising you up to be one of His “Mighty Sons of God”. Now, your 4th year in Christ is symbolic of your “wilderness year” as the 4th book of the Bible, “Numbers”, which in Hebrew is called “B’Midbar”, meaning “The Wilderness”. It relates to the “pilgrimage” through this period of “striving” and “wanderings”. Even the 4th book of the Psalms is the “Book of the Wilderness” and the first Psalm is the “Prayer of Moses, the man of God”--- the man of the “wilderness”. Use this 4th year in Christ as “Christ in the Wilderness”, grow in your dependency in God, the Will of the Father, press into Him as never before. A “diamond” is produced by the result of tremendous “pressure” upon a lump of carbon (coal). The turmoil you are going through is the “pressure”; use it to your advantage… REJOICE as these things occur, for in the final outcome you will be an “Overcomer in Christ”, transformed into a DIAMOND, spiritually speaking.
Now, the "Four Thunders" are also "Four Great Blessings" reserved EXCLUSIVELY onto you, and yet, simultaneously, the "Four Thunders" are also "Four Great Curses" reserved for those that comes against you, the enemies of Christ. Hence, ultimately, the Lord will give you the POWER to BLESS and the POWER to CURSE, as in Moses (Blessings) and Elijah (Cursings). Thus, no one can come against what God has reserved for you least they receive these Four Great Curses. As to when you will receive the Four Great Blessings is anyone's guess, perhaps during your "Fourth Wilderness Year" to sustain you, or upon its "Consummation", or thereafter. Either way, you will not be overtaken by the "Great Wave" for the Thunders (Blessing for you) preceded the Wave. And these will be FOUR MIGHTY BLESSINGS having to do with CREATIVITY, CREATIVE WORKS, CREATIVE VISION, and have everything to do with the FOUR LIVING CREATURES and their MANIFEST POWER (Gen 3 22-24; Rev 4).
Now, the “dark clouds” over the sea and the “wave” that crashes down upon you are the troubles and turmoil in the Wicked World that are overwhelming you. Whenever the sea overcomes the land this symbolizes an enemy attack or invasion. But despite their onslaught you emerge on the sunny beach unaffected by this turmoil for you have chosen to walk in Christ the straight and NARROW path, for the lad whose hand you are holding, hand-and-hand, as you walk down the BIG BEACH of the unsaved multitudes, is named Kyle, meaning “NARROW”. And you go looking for more people, for you will save many of the unsaved multitudes for Christ, this is your destiny and commission in Christ that God is raising you up to fulfill. Hence this is the THREAT you pose against the demonic realm, which is why the demon realm is so frightened and they will use every trick in the book to discourage you. But you ALREADY have the VICTORY in Christ Our Lord.
Now, when ever one dreams of an infant baby this symbolizes your Life's heart's desire, your dream and objective in Life, but when one dreams of a young child, as you did, the boy named "Kyle", this is a symbol of the "State of the Eternal Child", that special modus operandi in which all good Christians should be operating within as Jesus demonstrated with the child he would put in the middle of the adults and explain that to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven (a special place here on Earth while yet alive), then one needs to be like a child. This is the State of the Eternal Child where the individual is "dead" to the self and transfixed upon the world, others and Christ outside of the self. A child who confronts a mirror for the very first time actually preceives that the self-reflective image is that of another being. This is the condition in which Christ desires the True Christian to operate within, for when we loose ourselves is when we truly find ourselves. When one operates in this mode then the "attacks" are not "personal" but rather done onto Christ, Himself, for "What is done to the least of Mine, is done onto Me." Only then can one step into the peaceful and restful "Eye of the Storm", which is in the midst of the storm, turmoil and chaos and they will not be affected or harmed. It is also in the State of the Eternal Child that we rest in a state of "powerlessness", thus God can then empower us with True Power. While the whole world engages in self-seeking empowerment, we are not to do so; we are not to do anything according to our own strength, but rather abide in the lord, selflessly and powerlessly so that He may be our Power. And by so doing, you will walk the straight and NARROW path as symbolized by the boy, Kyle.
Abide in the Lord daily, rely on Him only, He will aid you and strengthen you in this time, and in July 2008 your major and miraculous breakthrough will indeed manifest as the Lord Jesus is clearly promising you.
Many, many blessings to you in Christ! And I will keep you always in the prayers of my heart.
THE SEVEN THUNDERS
