This a dream I had last night, being an example of the way things are.

I was walking in a wooded wilderness area, very much like we presently have all about us here in Central Wisconsin. I came across a large rectangle shaped pond of a few acers in size. As is the norm in are area, the base was of golden sand with the woodlands leading to the waters edge. The water crystal clear. Being it was a sunny warm day and the water so clear, being able to see through it easily, I began to wade across it. As I waded out it grew deeper, however, as it only became knee deep, the bottom began to raise up again at the middle of this pond to a dry sand berm which ran the length of this pond, thus dividing the sallow from the deep on the other side. This pond appeared natual all round about, except for this man made divide running the length of it. Standing on this divide, one could clearly see to the bottom of the sallow area and that it was void. That is, just a golden sand basin filled with clear water, that is all. Yet on the other side, the same clear water and golden sand which one could easily see also that it ran much deeper and was teaming with all sorts of life and wounders.

The bible is very much like this wilderness pond. There are the shallow waters which even a child can enjoy. However, at this present time, there is a man made barrier running the length of it, trying to prevent one and all enjoying the full wounders it has to offer.

Raise up and go over these man made barriers and than go deeper into all that God has for you.

But the American beaver builds a dam across a stream or lake to construct his home or lodge. The lodges are made of huge logs of trees.

The American beaver constructs solid dams and lodges because it has the mind of an expert engineer among all the creatures in the animal kingdom. And it is hard-working too. Moreover, building fortress like lodges and dams helps it escape unfriendly animals.

Hindering spirit. While in the Rocky Mountains recently, our host drove us on a remote mountain road beside a beautiful creek in an area called Beaver Meadows. All along that stream were many beaver ponds and dwelling mounds. The skill and craftiness of the beavers to build yet another beaver pond for their own fishing purposes was impressive. God spoke to my heart two things: Carefully walk in such a way that you do not hinder my purposes for the generation around you and the one to come. It is the mind of Christ to raise up a new and younger generation that will remove the blockages and hindrances to the children of the current generation. I have locked My destiny in the hearts of these children. See to it that they are not hindered. Throw open the door for them. Let no hindering spirit prevent you from unclogging and keeping the steam clear. Hindering spirit.Luke 18:16 "But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Thank you, Lois !
