WARNING: God's house: conversion or separation: narrow way or perdition

The sorting of God’s house: conversion or separation:

and the purified heart of God in ‘living’ souls

Matthew 25:32-33

“Before him shall be gathered all nations (all people): and he shall separate them one from another— as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: 

and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.”

The Dreams

____________________________________________________________

{I am speaking to the Lord and sorting my dreams and heart with him. And EDIT: this post, and the one that will follow, have been in the waiting for several weeks now (around 3 or so), in order to bring them out as he led me: and that time is now.}

One important thing I’ve realized as I sorted my dreams with you this morning, Lord, is what you just said to me, pertaining to time.  You said that dreams can represent the current, past, or the future; meaning— either what has been, what is current, or what is projected: and it’s all real, spiritually speaking.  That shook me for a moment there, because I know I need to sort and explore that more with you (time in dreams).  But maybe more of that in a moment.  Thank you for helping me to sort and explore my heart— while typing, it helps me to slow down enough to hear more clearly.

The first thing I’d like to put to paper, if you will, is that I awoke from several dreams with an underlying theme once again:  lack, confusion, and separation on the journey.

In one dream it showed lack that led to a pursuit of sustenance (on behalf of the brethren), then immediately— as soon as the journey to guide them to sustenance began— it derailed into confusion (and we were not where we once were); it abruptly changed into confusion— because someone took the lead that was not supposed to; which, after correction and warning was given— led to separation, or being left behind (as I began a pursuit of search for them as they went another way, searching for my people); which continued on— though with others this time, in what was this long and arduous journey, uphill climb, with reflection of things that I do not need anymore (clothing), or can give away to others.

This type of theme of lack, confusion, and separation on this journey of life— keeps coming up in many people’s lives.  So, I am doing as you requested, and I am bringing this all to you for examination— to sort through things with you, to have the conversations you said we need to have when I dream the dreams.  You asked me to consider— who is in the dreams, what is happening, and what is the emotion attached to the dream(s)? 

So, as I sorted all of that with you, I said to you— that most of the people I did not actually know in my earthly-realm waking-life, nor have any context for them.  They were just— dream people— representatives of narratives that speak to me— to show me something.  However, in one shorter sequence of dreams that I recall— I did know the person in my waking world— at least I know ‘of’ them, but have never personally met them in the waking, material world.  That’s when you began to speak to me about time representation in the dream realm; that it essentially exists, and can be represented in past, current/present, and future (or projections of).  And that shook me because I need to sort which category the dreams fall into with you, every time then.

I will need to apply this concept of time representation to my dreams with the question of —when— is this taking place?  Do I perceive that this is a past occurrence basis, current, or future? And as with all things— I will only be able to do that with your help, for sure; and with a lot of analysis.

The first dream seemed as if it were presently, currently happening— like I was in a real spiritual realm (if even the dream realm, which you have said to me is a real realm where soul and spirit meet); and at times those dreams feel as if I am really participating with people, in events or actions, that are happening in real time; even if brought forth in a symbolically descriptive way.  

With this particular dream I was seeing someone I know ‘of’ in my waking life, but have never met; however, in the dream realm we have met several times, with many varying interactions.  In this one, someone had sat down with him (a woman I think) and was speaking with him about me.  They were enthusiastically speaking and looked at me, as I was in a crowd of other people; but at the same time— I abruptly left, to get out of view— even though I desired to speak with this person: I noticed this was fear based, and rejection based fear— displayed, which led to me walking out (in the dream) what I was projecting (or walking in): fear of rejection (about my future encounter— because it had not actually taken place yet; and I was running at the thought of it).  Which led to another dream, similarly, back to back with this person— who is the future spouse you have declared to me of your plans for my future.  And a similar scenario played out again, but with different circumstances— he was there, in the same house with me (the one I currently live in, so this would indicate present time, as I look at it now); and I saw him busy and occupied with other things (his current job and profession on his mind, as he’s presently walking out); and he left shortly after he saw me getting attended to by a physician— in the bed I was in.  

This was signifying to me— the timing was off, but we were both currently aware of one another (in the realm of the spirit); but he was doing his thing right now (otherwise occupied), and, as well, I was otherwise occupied in my discipleship and healing journey (preparation) still yet.  I thought about the current condition I am experiencing, as I am being attended to by your Kingdom people (angels), yourself— the Great Physician; and according to our current timing and agenda.  So, I would have to say, once again, I believe this to be current time related, as well as— possibly— future projection of fear based rejection, based on the first dream sequence with him— because of current rejection issues I am dealing with and overcoming with you.  Or perceived rejection (because he is otherwise occupied, and not ready; but neither am I, really).  I reckon we will explore this more.

There was another dream, however, that followed this one; that was with other people I did not recognize— dream people representations: although these people represented family or brethren (men and women); that much I knew for sure as it was conveyed.  

I was in a small car with them (all men at this point).  I was crammed in a small car (ministry or Kingdom family related; though I owned the vehicle, which would mean I, normally, would be driving it with you); it was an old vehicle— a Ford Escort, with somewhere around 6 people in it (including myself).  

A ford, means— a shallow place in a river or stream allowing one to walk or drive across; with a root definition of ‘fare.’  Old English ford, of West Germanic origin; related to Dutch voorde, also ‘to fare.’

And a fare means, in this case— perform in a specified way in a particular situation or over a particular period of time, as well as— travel; with a root definition of— Old English fær, faru ‘traveling, a journey or expedition’, faran ‘to travel’, also ‘get on’ (well or badly), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch varen and German fahren ‘to travel’, Old Norse ferja ‘ferry boat’, also to ford. 

And escort means— a person, vehicle, or group accompanying another for protection or as a mark of rank; with a root definition of— late 16th century (originally denoting a body of armed men escorting travelers): from French escorte (noun), escorter (verb), from Italian scorta, feminine past participle of scorgere ‘to conduct, guide’, based on Latin ex- ‘out of’ + corrigere ‘set right’ (see correct).

Correct— tell (someone) that they are mistaken, counteract or rectify; with a root definition of—   Middle English (as a verb): from Latin correct- ‘made straight, amended’, from the verb corrigere, from cor- ‘together’ + regere ‘guide’. 

One of these brothers was driving my car (as I look at it now, you and I were supposed to be driving the vehicle you gave me) —and recklessly fast!  I reprimanded him for this behavior (as we were all subject to this man’s driving), and that is when the dream shifted to separation.

So, I am seeing that I am with brethren, this is ministry related, family of God related; and seeing that we are in a small group ministry setting (a small car, crammed ‘together in this boat’ [scenario, proverbially]); and one of the boys jumped in the driver’s seat of my Ford Escort —of which I was going to drive them to get sustenance {taking them to the store(house), if you will}, as he was gungho, or overly zealous bordering on aggressive, careless, recklessness: to take over and drive this small group or ministry car.

We were supposed to be traveling the River of God, the stream (spiritual flow) of the Holy Spirit of God’s leading (the ford, or fare); which was to perform in a specified way for a particular situation, over a particular travel or journey and mission.  And I was to escort them, or be the person and vehicle to a group of accompanying people— for protection, or mark and rank; this being accomplished by commission of your Spirit, and from the position your Spirit placed me in; as over the others— leading them ‘the way’ on this journey: but this got all messed up when someone else chose to step into the leadership position and drive; which led us recklessly down a wrong way, leading to many wrong ways (inner city of confusion).  And everyone in this ministry vehicle (because the leadership was usurped, or rejected) — were in danger.  I tried to warn, guide, and correct— but it led to separation.

I did not know these men in my waking life— so I am assuming this is the state of the body of Christ in the church; and I am a leadership representative of the body in this dream.  And so we are seeing the church out of order, here, in small group settings; where there is an authority role challenge; whether the people understand that is what is happening or not, there is an authority challenge going on.  And technically— you, Lord, are supposed to be leading; and with that— the man you have called forth to lead your ministry in the earth; they are supposed to be leading with you— all the others who are being discipled.  

In this dream— they were looking for food in the house of God, and I said I would take them to the store(house) to buy this food, because it was noted that I had my own personal food in my room, and kept it there.  But when we went to the ministry car (which was mine, detailing out who should have been driving or leading) —another zealous, overly aggressive (in determining he would drive, though he had zero clue where we were or where to go), jumped into the driver’s seat, and was going way too fast— recklessly— with all of us being taken for this ride.  I had to reprimand this brother, and then the dream shifted to separation.

As this dream progressed— the boys were separated from me; they went somewhere without me, left me behind, and we were separated.  I find this interesting as I sort this out with you.  Because as I look at it now— I was attempting to bring them to you to be fed of your storehouse, your person— for sustenance of the bread and wine.  And I was heading to the ministry car to do this— where we would take them from point-A to point-B, and get them what they needed.  I knew where we were, and where we needed to go.  But someone else jumped the gun, started taking us down a road I was not familiar with; where once we were actually VERY close to the storehouse of God, and I knew the way to it.  This man, however, took us into confusion, chaos (an inner city of entangled crossroads), separation, and derailed the whole mission.

Ouch: if this is a picture of the state of ministry, in small groups or otherwise, in the church; then there is a lot going on in your house with unprepared, overly zealous, undisciplined, authority usurping, ignorant, unprepared men or women— taking up positions they are not equipped for, or authorized for.  And it’s leading your other people who are following them, dangerously down the wrong road, into confusion and chaos (with enthusiasm following them blindly), entering into a maze of crossroad entanglements in the spirit realm; and ultimately— not to your storehouse of the bread and wine of Jesus Christ; but instead on what seemed to be a ‘wild goose chase,’ distracted, through ignorance and lack of approval or authority to lead the people in the way: this reflects an enthusiasm, but lack of being tested out and approved for such a position; and it led others astray.  

A ‘wild goose chase’ means— a search that is completely unsuccessful and a waste of time because the person being searched for does not exist there, or is somewhere else: Man, Jesus— that is a great description of taking the wrong ‘way’ in this life.

That’s incredibly sad to me, and what is happening in your church when people are promoted (by themselves, or even others) when they are not actually commissioned of the Lord, prepared by the Lord, trained by the Lord, and given a place of authority and responsibility over others in proper order and protocol carried out: but instead usurp a ministry role, buck your system and protocol, Lord.  That is horrifying as I look at this dream more closely.  

I had thought this dream was about me, personally, and the state of my heart being sorted still: but I can see it is about the ‘state of the heart of your house/people’ that is being examined and sorted— and pertaining to the ministry of your house in the earthen realm.  

They could not find their own food in the house of God (we were all together, and I had my own food stored up [oil if you will, as a wise virgin, attempting to help the others called and invited], as they did not have their own food (or oil).  And I was going to help them get their food— but when I was going to take them to the store to buy their own food of you [our oil]; they went their own way, down an unfamiliar road, would not be led of me (the representative you asked to take them, in my car— so leadership issues were happening), and the environment shifted into unfamiliar territory, dangerous driving conditions, loss of direction, wrong entangled roads going many directions (broadpath), and ultimately— to separation.  

I thought the separation was abandonment— at first; and I guess it was— but not of me personally, of the ‘narrow way;’ as I realize I am a ‘student body representative,’ once again in this dream— representing a bridal person in the house of God.  And this being why therebe few that find that narrow life, by way of the narrow path (and that definitely has to do with proper protocol and promotion in position).

I had thought separation was a negative aspect at first glance; but the more I process this I see the opposite: separation of two types of people found in the house of God; and this is a normal protocol and procedure with you, Lord, as you separate your sheep from goats, or from servants serving the Lord, or usurpers (hirelings; or those who promote themselves in your house, and unto their own benefit).  

I see this as a natural sorting of your house, and from those who will ‘go another way,’ that is not your narrow way that you walked— and still walk: which is the protocol of heaven and the Kingdom of God, led of the Father, and through the right channels of promotion and leadership; through proper discipleship and advancement of position granted of God.  

I was witnessing the sorting process; and interestingly, Lord— they were separating themselves.  It was like they were doing the work for you— based in their decision making— as they moved from their own headship— apart from yours: and hence— the separation was made.

I was just speaking with someone in counsel with you about a similar topic, which you are reminding me of: God chooses for no one to be separated from him for eternity in hell or the lake of fire— each man chooses for himself: and it is determined by his free will choice to come to you and through you (Door/gate/life), partner with you, walk your narrow way with you leading them— as you join them in the inner chambers in truth and love— or not.  And if they choose the ‘or not’ choice option, and choose to ‘go another way,’ live another way— they separate themselves from you; as you have made every way possible for them to join you; but they choose to go another way.

That is what I see taking place in this dream.  A house of God (people of the assembly) choosing to lead themselves, promote themselves, get all confused, lost, and on entangled spiritual roads; as they over zealously put the cart before the horse, usurp authority (think Miriam and Aaron), and wind up separated from the headship (Ichabod) leadership of authority that God has set them under (Christ Jesus and those he’s working through); and thus be lost, on the broadpath(s) as there are many roads that lead to perdition, and sorted or separated out from the rest of the functioning house of God: BY CHOICE and IGNORANCE. 

Ugh.

The dream then shifted to me still attempting to reconnect with them— but they were long gone (again, very sad).  And then, as I searched for the family of God in this jungle of the world (inner city chaos), I came across other sisters in Christ, traveling the same journey as me. (I believe they were true bride members of the functional house of God ministering in the world to bring home stragglers).  And these sisters traveled and maneuvered with me— in support, union, and assistance; as I was, at the end of this journey, passing along to them ‘coats’ I no longer needed (as they were outdated for me) but perhaps they could use them (one woman in particular).  As I look at this now— perhaps it was passing along mantles (from those who have gone on before us— like Elijah, or Moses, or whomever walked a certain thing out with you Lord.  Or even some that may be still alive— who have progressed further, and are passing along, in current time— a replication of what they have come into and wear.  It sure seemed like it was one or both of those scenarios playing out.  It seemed like it was something I had enough of that I would like to pass onto them, or at minimum— share with them— for their use: I had no current use for these items— I had new things that fit me for this season.  I had season appropriate clothing.  (Just my thoughts, Lord, as they were perfectly clean, new, and good— the clothing I was passing along).

That is where that dream ended— separation from one set of people (which is always hard, as we go searching and hoping to reconnect with them, even when they go ‘another way’); and reunion with another set of people, all walking ‘the same way,’ together, on a hard upward climb, maneuvering through many obstacles; but at the end of it— I came out first, on top of the climb, and I leaned down and handed them coats or mantles to help them on their climb and journey, too.

_____

All in all I see the ‘way,’ the narrow way explained, the attempt at feeding the house of God, from the table of the Lord— but of those who would not come this way; who instead would gungho go another way, and become entangled in the broadpath roads of perdition; that are leading all over in loss of direction, confusion, chaos, and distraction; born of self promotion and lack of properly being ‘trained up in the way to go,’ and disciplined by the Lord— first.  And the separation that comes as a result of this, as others choose the less traveled road (the narrow way, following the Lamb where’er he goes).  

I saw the people who chose that narrow way.  And it was a unity climb, upward bound, together, through hard obstacles; but one well worth the climb, the separation from the rest of the flock or pack, going another way that seemed faster and easier; and the mantles that are handed down from those who have gone before us— for our journey in this waking world of soul reality with the Lord: in YOUR ministry, as you lead and raise up children of God, servants of the Lord, by way of the Father’s protocol in you— Christ Jesus.

I am seeing the broad way; and I am seeing the narrow way— and the separation.  But I also felt the sadness of the separation, the longing for the house of God to be in one accord.  But the usurping, lack of discipleship success under Jesus and the Holy Spirit— running too fast, dangerously leading self; even when you have given the right people to lead your flock to you and your storehouse provisions— to purchase the same oil, and travel the same path.  It was heartbreaking, and by my means— unstoppable: they were determined they were heading in the right direction, just driving and driving so fast down many roads: this dream was very sad.  

Even though I attempted (and again, I am a representative of what God’s leadership in the earth is attempting to do with his flock) —I attempted to correct them, their way, and thusly, perhaps— their route and course unto ‘the narrow way that leads to life’ in Christ Jesus: but they would not have it.  And I searched, hoped, and put effort into looking for them in the world— as they ventured that way; but they were lost to the spirit of this world —at that time.  

But you, Lord, are so awesome.  

Even though these were currently (perhaps not forever, just right now) lost and going another way— (even though they perceived it as having fun and driving fast down many roads getting places quickly); you were leading me to find the true remnant bride in the world; and help lead them (because they would allow me to), and assist them in the upward, difficult, arduous climb.  

And at the end of the climb— as I came out on top before them— I handed back down to them (as they were still on their ascent) clothing mantles they could use: it was a covering extended in some sort of way.  This was representative of those who have walked the narrow path before those of us who are on it currently ascending, leading us forward in the Kingdom of God on the upward ascent of the narrow climb up the mountain of the Lord in Zion; who are showing us the way— and handing down the mantles of wisdom, connection, empowerment, authority, skillset, and mission— to those coming up behind them; to come this way with the Lord— SUCCESSFULLY— in mastery of relationship goals achieved: them and you in unity.

It was, really— a revelation of the protocol, procedure, route, choices made, preparation and discipleship achieved (or not); and the reward of walking the way less traveled— versus the broad way of many roads that lead to perdition; which means— ruin or loss (physical spiritual or eternal), perish in pernicious ways, waste. [Strong’s G684]  Pernicious means— having a harmful, destructive, detrimental, dangerous, wicked, malaligned, ruinous, effect— usually in a gradual or subtle way; with a root definition of— late Middle English: from Latin perniciosus ‘destructive’, from pernicies ‘ruin’, based on nex, nec- ‘death’.

John 17:12

“While I was with them in the world— I kept them in your name: those that you gave me— I have kept, and none of them is lost; (except) but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.”

_____

I am feeling the same from that dream: no one was lost that was on the same path in the world, traveling the narrow way with you: not one of them!  But those who took over the driverseat and usurped the governor or leader (you and yours in position) —they endlessly went the paths of perdition, and into it— distracted by the fast life: as you are with them in the world— but not of it.  And they fell into it— and refused to come out of it and walk the narrow way with you (goats): headstrong, stiff necked, prideful, and hardened.

Goats are generally considered more stubborn than sheep— because they choose independence; whereas sheep usually choose to reside in a flock, and follow their leader more readily: goats have a tendency to stray more and explore independently.  Goats are known for their independent nature and strong sense of ‘self.’  They are less likely to follow a group, and they seek out their own interests.  They may resist being led entirely.  Shepherds and goat herders are different: the Lord is the Good Shepherd, not the good goat herder of stubborn, independent, self focused ones (that would be satan as goat herder).

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed— the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself —above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he— as God (himself) —sits in the temple of God (the body tabernacle), showing himself that he is God (or highest judge inside).”

1 Timothy 6:9

“They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”

_____

There are a people who will choose for themselves— the self path; which is a place you will not find eternal life— only eternal separation: for eternal life is found in the person of Jesus; where we are unified in a flock, under one headship, Shepherd, or Bishop of our souls— not independent entities.

But there are also a people who are traveling the less traveled, arduous (in this world) path— the narrow way: a remnant of people— who go another way from the many that go the broad, easy way; and who are the few who find ETERNAL LIFE: most— go another way.  The remnant will search for the others in the world doing the same, who hail from God’s Kingdom; and they unite, and they serve one another, and pass along wisdom, teaching, sustenance, and even mantles covering the next of the generation coming up behind them.

Matthew 7:13-14

“Enter [G1525: arise, come through (it’s an invitation, not all accept this invitation)] ye in at the strait [G4728: narrow— because obstacles are all about] gate [G4439: entrance]: for wide is the gate [G4439: entrance], and broad [G2149: spacious and wide] is the way [G3598: road, progress, route taken in distance, or mode and means of journey], that leads to destruction [G684: ruin or loss— perdition], and many there be which go in [G1525: arise, come through (it’s an invitation)] thereat: Because strait [G4728: narrow— because obstacles are all about] is the gate [G4439: entrance], and narrow [G2346: afflict narrow throng suffer tribulation trouble] is the way [G3598: road, progress, route taken in distance, or mode and means of journey], which leads unto life (and it’s only found in Jesus Christ— authentic, true, eternal life) —and few [G3641: puny, little, small in amount] there be [G1526: who are, be— in agreement] —that find [who perceive, see, get, obtain] it (eternal life in Christ Jesus).”

The term ‘remnant’ in the Bible often refers to a group of believers who remain faithful to God during times of hardship or apostasy. This can be understood as those who choose the narrow way and persevere, even when it's difficult.  The narrow path is not easy.  It requires dedication, sacrifice, and perseverance. The idea of a ‘remnant’ traveling the less-traveled path— highlights the challenging nature of following God's path.  The concept of a ‘remnant’ often involves enduring persecution and remaining faithful to God's truth and path— even when it's unpopular or difficult. This perseverance— is a key element in understanding the remnant's role: the remaining ones, the residue [Strong’s G3062] —the remnant.  

There is a small residue of people who will follow the narrow path, coming through the narrow gate of repentance, humility, and service— to the way, truth, and life of Jesus Christ— under his headship: he is the Doorway entrance to the narrow way/path where he will lead all of the residue  remnant, tiny, group of authentic and loyal followers of the Shepherd— along; who will come to eternal life.

Few therebe who find this way— to come this way; because one must look, see, perceive, and obtain HIM: the truth of his life, headship, and holiness— to walk the right paths (spiritual internal paths which lead to outward actions and conduct lived, authentically.  The truth becomes alive and incarnate— in us): eternal life in Jesus Christ. 

And in this we must come through authentic repentance: humility, servitude, bowing— not usurping his headship, being those who will walk the narrow, arduous, sacrificial, tight, constricting conduct, character path/walk; fruiting out the attributes of the Spirit of the holy (separated in righteousness) God of heaven; as we die the death of self righteousness— becoming the authentic truth incarnate: as his life comes alive within us— the Father duplicating his seed: one Spirit, one Life— His (we die and join him, under him).

This— is life in Christ, life in eternity— joined to the living God: few will find this Life in him; because few are looking to be joined, one with, and become the truth incarnate: and to do that— one must enter into the life of Jesus Christ; and he only has one way lived inside of him.  They do not desire to choose to live as he is, be separated, holy, and submitted to the Father in righteousness, within the holiness of separation, consecration, and sanctification— by the truth washing them internally; and being given to his leadership— as we bow down to him: repentance lived.  

And so they choose not to enter the tight-fitting, constricted-squeezing Gate/Door (which is the life of Jesus, the strait gate); because few desire to go the narrow way: the afflicted, troubled, tribulatory (arduous) path; and thusly— few will come into the eternal life found inside of Christ, fully. 

Some only come in by the skin of their teeth, and through mercy. He spoke to me about the fervent prayer of righteous man that avails much, concerning most people coming into heaven; that through mercies like this intercession— where mercy was applied to cover a multitude of transgression;  these people get MANY chances (even in the in between crossing over instances) to accept Jesus Christ and righteousness; because someone else laid down intercessive burden over their lives— working and laboring in the Spirit.  And our Lord yoked with this righteous man: and thus— some get in by the skin of their teeth, into outer darkness, or the outskirts of heaven; but they enter into eternal life (barely), albeit— maimed:  because they would not ‘enter in’ to his life fully, into his person, and be conducted of his person— through ‘his way/path’ to be lived— whilst here in this earthen realm of choosing whom we will serve (and for eternity) while we have earthen body lives to choose with.

As we do, as we be— we display our aligned kingdom, and k(K)ing we are under: self, or God holy through Jesus Christ.

Matthew 18:8

“Wherefore if your hand or your foot offends you— cut them off, and cast them from you: for it is better for you to —enter into life— halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.”

We are scrutinized internally for what we are really desiring from within the depths of our hearts— by God.  Are we as the rich prince in scripture— who would not give up the earthen or carnal life wealth— to gain all— in a life sacrificed unto the richness of heaven (Jesus Christ)?  Or are we authentic and willing to be stripped in every way within this world and realm— to gain everything heaven has to offer us in the way of Son, life of the Lamb and Shepherd, and Bridegroom— Jesus Christ?

Because one way is arduous, triublatory, afflicted, and troubled.  And the other way is easy, luxurious, selfish, comfortable, and leads to separation from him, his household family, heaven, and the Kingdom of God: narrow way, or easy way?  It’s a choice for every heart— and one of eternal value and consequence: and the invitation has been sent out to all.  

I can see in this dream, one set of people— the majority— heading their own way, through personal choice, and preference of —leading ultimately to perdition (who claim to be in the household of God): they are unwise.  And another smaller (2 people only with me in the dream) group of true, authentic, wise virgin maids (bride) on mission in the world— traveling the lesser desired path (that sorts the sheep from the goats of those called by his name [which is a character lived]) —that is arduous, tribulatory, thronged, afflicted, and troubled as they climb and ascend the Son of man, whilst in this world; as they journey with you, Lord— having accepted your invitation to authenticity lived— while they join to you; which leads to life, and service to Life himself— in the world.

A puny, small, residue of people who claim your name (character and authority of), Lord.  Few people who are seeking to be in agreement with you: ‘be’ in, meaning— what they are ‘being,’ at any given time, and given to ‘being.’  And that is why few find eternal life (eternal ‘being’ in and joined to you, having come through the gate of repentance; the change around inside, entering into new man life in you).  Because ‘find it’ means— see you, perceive you, obtain you; which means, according to Strong’s H305: care to observe, recognize, acknowledge, acquaint oneself with, answer to, consider, comprehend, discern, discover, befriend, allow to instruct, know as kinsman, privy to, regard, have respect for or unto, and understand.  

THAT IS A LOT TO CONSIDER!!!  

That— entering ‘into you’ and ‘finding you/eternal life’ —means all of the above:  care to observe, recognize, acknowledge, acquaint oneself with, answer to, consider, comprehend, discern, discover, befriend, allow to instruct, and know as kinsman, privy to, regard, have respect for or unto, and understand— YOU.  

And I do not think most people understand that is what is meant by— ‘Find it/eternal life in Christ Jesus.’  Because eternal life in you means— living from within you, and you living within us— authentically, for real, in live action: the word made flesh.  This is the difference between those who claim your name and those who have ‘become your name’ —incarnate: the word made flesh— by your life being actually re-presented and lived forth in the earth (or living soul) —in their vessel: 2 as 1 in spirit (or essence of the life of the Messiah).

We are endeavoring with you to be this; and we are works in progress.  But my point and emphasis here is that— some are working hard to come into being one with the Word of God, and others are walking in proclamations and claims only: but who have not committed to the way yet, because they have not bowed to eternal life yet— in a headship— through repentance, and truly come ‘through’ the Door/strait gate.  They have need of repentance— to turn around, and humble themselves— to fit through the Door, sir; to even begin to ‘walk the way of’ the narrow footsteps of yours in the earth; as the Shepherd leads them, the sheep (because goats do not like to obey).

And so— few are ‘walking in’ the eternal life of Christ, and thusly— have not obtained eternal life walking within themselves, fully, yet; because they have yet to come through the strait gate of repentance and humility— given to living the truth and separation; to walk this out in the earth (soul) of the afflicted, troubled, arduous, tribulatory, thronged, upward ascent in the Son of man. Because there is a commitment issue being shown, a sacrifice issue being shown, and an effort at authenticity and joining you— issue at hand; as they need to come through repentance AND humility in ‘becoming’ the word incarnate, through your life —STANDING UP— within them.  

G386 – Resurrection Life

Greek: ἀνάστασις

Transliteration: anastasis

Pronunciation: an-as'-tas-is

Definition: From G450; a standing up again, that is (literally) —a resurrection from death, a (moral) recovery (of spiritual truth).

When the scripture says— enter in through the gate, and then— walk the way of eternal life (Jesus Christ); it means just that:  come in, through the Door, and walk with him in his way, as he leads you down paths of righteousness (that’s a conduct, by a conductor— or leader leading the way of life in us):  Which is the only way to eternal life in and through Christ Jesus.  

You have made the way, cleared the path none of us could have done; and you accomplished Calvary through your graciousness.  We are saved by your graciousness; if we will come and join you in the life of Jesus Christ, come through the strait Gate, and walk the way: the paths of righteousness and truth come alive incarnate within us; as the Word of God is being hosted in honor within us— in the life of Christ Jesus: hence— entering ‘into’ (through the gate, and walking in/down eternal life’s paths of righteousness and separation) with you, sir.  And you (eternal life) having entered into us, leading us in paths of righteousness— for your name’s (character, authority, and seed sake) in the earth (soul life of man): few will obtain this— because we usually only focus on what you have done already, sir— and we do not focus on our part of ‘joining’ you in paths of righteousness (carrying our own cross and denying ourselves); and that’s relational, and it’s authenticity based living in loyalty, and humility, and fear of the Lord God.

I can see there is a remnant who are overcomers— for good reason: they must overcome themselves in this world, the self, the self leadership, and the self refusing to come into the truth— and let the truth and righteousness come alive in them, by being washed with the Fuller’s soap of the word of God.  

I know you are helping us all, day by day, as you do to bring out these truths to us— so that we can partner with you.  And many of this small remnant are doing just that— to the best of their ability.  

But the larger body of people who call themselves by your name (but do not walk with you on your righteous path/ways), have yet to fit through the repentant humble Door/strait gate that is so small and narrow; because it’s coming through humility— this you exemplified.

They are not on the ‘narrow way,’ because they must still come through —the Door of humility and repentance— turning around in humility inside.  THEN— they can walk the narrow path.  The narrow path is only able to be walked out when walking in humility and truth— through requited love back to God (obedience); because that is what your person lives toward the Father of all of creation: humility (love and service, sacrifice, and preference of other’s good), and truth— love and humility born in righteousness lived and expressed, and undertaken in holiness— complete separation.  Thus— they cannot enter into your rest if they have not entered into your life; and walked your paths/ways; and so they have not entered into eternal life ‘fully;’ for it is only in you, and knowing you, and obtaining you— in all their inward parts, as they honor you, and obey you, and reverence you there— that one comes fully into eternal Life, and eternal Life— fully erect in them: authenticity of union: God and a son.

It makes sense why you will say depart from me; for they were in the house or flock (tares growing up with the wheat), and at some point will be harvested and separated out.  And depending on the authenticity of the relationship to the Word of God lived— they will be sorted into appropriate categories: your right, and your left.

_________________________________

At this point, as I have been sitting for over a week now (edit— weeks) on this post (as the Lord told me he will let me know when to bring it forth, as it is heavy); I am going to add another dream to this already long post: because it came in last night (edit— a week ago), and fits with this narrow way, or the way of perdition— to those in the house of God: the church.

The dream was short, small, but deadly serious and horrifying.

I was laying on the floor of a huge house or building with so many bodies of other people.  Everyone was asleep in this room as I was observing (except me, as I was called to see this state, spiritually).  They were laid out with coverings (blankets) over them: I saw different color coverings (shades of sooty color or white, etc, many people, many coverings, and many shades of) over the people as they slept.

I also saw that bad guys had infiltrated this house, and they were eliminating sleeping people; but not everyone was being killed or destroyed, as they took headshots (with guns, direct overhead shots), and took out sleeping people: only certain ones.

Before they came close to me— an inner voice told me not to move, stay still and remain quiet.  I had to trust and not fear in these moments.  As I did, I recognized that with these bad guys— that were taking people out with direct hits to their heads (headshots) —was a guy who was stating who not to go after (me), because I was ‘his brother.’

So the bad guys obeyed this voice/person, and took out the guy next to me; but I was protected fully and unharmed: end of dream.

I tell you this dream because it symbolizes the wheat and tares, goats and sheep, or those under the protection of covenant and the shadow of the Almighty (right covering), or not.  It also details out that the way in which the enemy is taking out the unwise virginal bride— is through the head: perhaps they do not have Jesus as their headship, or it’s a reference to the mind (or both); but either way— some were hidden and some were ‘allowed to be’ taken out. 

I believe the person who stood up for me was a spiritual being on behalf of God’s kingdom protecting those who are in covenant, and upholding covenant, with God holy and true: real authentic worshipers of God.  And because of this— they are hidden under the shadow of the Almighty (his protection).

All the people were asleep, and no one was waking from their brothers and sisters being taken out: they were oblivious to this spiritual work taking place: except me, I was awake and observing.

This is an hour we need to be vigilant about what is really taking place within us; what we are upholding, who we are exalting, what we are living, which path we are on, who/what we are worshiping, and whether or not we are upholding our covenant to our Lord.  Because satan has infiltrated the church, and has a right to take out people who are in covenant with him.

But just as that is true; God has a people who are upholding covenant relationship with him; honoring him, the truth, righteousness— an authentic relationship, walking the narrow way, denying self/crucifying the carnal nature, and being assimilated back into his image and likeness in their spirit and soul lives: worshiping God purely.  

And those psalm 91 people are protected under the shadow of the Almighty, BECAUSE THEY DWELL IN THE SECRET PLACE (crucially important to get that stipulation), who have MADE THE LORD THEIR HABITATION (they live within him, and he within them— authentically).  And because THEY HAVE SET THEIR LOVE ON GOD and KNOW [recognize, observe, acknowledge, acquaint, answer to, comprehend, consider, discover, are familiar with, regard, respect, perceive, declare] HIS NAME (character and person) —THEY ARE DELIVERED. 🎯

These psalm 91 covenant upholding people have spiritual assistants who are upholding our protection and covering— in the realm of the spirit.  It’s highly important we heed these messages and warnings. 

For this was not a future undertaking to warn about: it’s happening now.

_______________________________________

You are taking a remnant of a people (a puny amount from the whole of those called by your name), and you are leading them (through your life and way of it— the strait Gate/Doorway/Entrance) on the paths of righteous living in the earth (soul); and these have entered into the eternal life of Jesus— fully; which means— your eternal life is fully erect in them, in the inward parts and ways— yielded to, and they are mature (or at least maturing quite well) in the life of Jesus Christ as they become the word incarnate with him (joined), through the Doorway of humility and servitude: two aspects of God that most do not cheer for in their inward man, nor willingly enter into —to be one with you: the paradigm way, truth, and life to be lived— INCARNATE: in body in the earthen realm: as in heaven— so in earth.

This remnant has brought heaven to earth— as they have joined you in heaven, as life is in heaven (reverently under you, and joined to you in your righteous ways) —and are walking it out in earth: in this world— but not of it: of your life instead.

The remnant is spoken of many times in scripture; they are a peculiar people— taken from the whole:

The remnant that are left [Nehemiah 1:3].  

The remnant of you that have escaped [2 Chronicles 30:6, Ezra 9:8].  

The remnant that remains [Leviticus 2:3].  

The remnant of the oil [Leviticus 14:18].   

The remnant of his children [Deuteronomy 28:54]. 

The remnant of his brethren [Micah 5:3]. 

The remnant of nations [Joshua 23:12].

The remnant of the people [1 Kings 12:23].

The remnant of the house [1 Kings 14:10].

The remnant of the sons [1 Chronicles 6:70].

The remnant of Israel, Judah, Benjamin returned [2 Chronicles 34:9].

The remnant of the brethren— the priests [Ezra 3:8]

The remnant of my flock [Jeremiah 23:3].

The remnant of whom the Lord shall call [Joel 2:32].

The remnant of those who shall be saved [Romans 9:27].

The remnant of those according to the election of grace [Romans 11:5].

They are a special people who have come through the Strait Gate/Door, and kept stepping with you Lord— on the paths of righteousness; the afflicted, troubled, arduous, tribulatory, thronged, upward ascent path up the Mountain of the Lord (Jesus Christ himself, the ascension on the Son of man).  And in this— they are become— the remnant of your seed, Father: those who are left of the whole —after sorting; those who have escaped the world through the Son of man, the Lamb, the Life of the Messiah; those who remain, who are of the oil, of the brethren, of the people, of the nations, of the children and house of God— sons of God: Israel, Judah, and Benjamin returned.  Those who are priests of yours, of the flock, of whom the Lord calls (invites), who shall be saved (who took up your invitation and came to you to follow you): those who are the called and chosen according to the election of Grace (you).

And here I thought these dreams were about my personal life, only, and in a detrimental way of needing to be healed more; and the one about my future spouse— might detail this.  But more so this night(s) of dreaming —detailed current events, as well as, my need to relax and trust you in all of your plans; because right now— I am still coming through healing by the Great Physician, and this person is otherwise occupied, and the timing is not right, yet.  But that in time— you will work all things forward in progressive good— to your own agenda and plans: and you will hasten your word to perform it.  I need to realize that just because it is this way, currently— does not mean it always will be.  And I saw this person, speaking with someone I perceived as an angel of the Lord, and they were enthusiastically beholding me; but I was the one who chose to disappear into the crowd: so I need to address you about fear of rejection pertaining to my future with you, Lord.  And I thank you for this revelation.

But, the second dream sequence was of much more significance, I believe, as it speaks to the whole of the body of people who are called by your name; and being either with you fully— or distracted, undisciplined, dangerously zealous in leading themselves down alternative paths— or the many paths of the broad path choice which leads to perdition; who are deceived and believing they are separating from the false church of called out ones (who are actually attempting to warn and correct them about the way they are driving the ministry vehicle in the world, to which others are going with them, following them); because they think the true bride— separated in righteousness and discipline of— are the deceived ones; because they do not desire to be led under the order (conduct) of heaven, converted in righteousness to the Life of Jesus, washed in the truth, and walking the way of heaven in the earth (as Jesus is).  And those the Lord has appointed to ‘show them the way,’ offend them, and they are contemptuous to them, and are thus— walking in spiritual blindness, and pridefully resolute in their error (seared); as they believe they can get there— their own way they are heading— as they are out in the world; but they are led astray by the spirit of this world, and in seductions of— fulfilling lusts and desires, with union— to the spirit of error in the world; and are headed down roads of perdition.

However, those who can be saved— are being saved— where they have come into your life, and entered in through the gate of humility, and self-life death, through repentance in the fear of the Lord.  And these are uniting and helping one another in the earth— assisting and showing the way up the ascent of the Son of man.  

The wayward are being pursued in prayer and intercessions— that the goats and tares would convert— repent, humble themselves— and be saved.  There is a small residue of people, but they are mighty, loving, and servants to all: stopping on the upward ascent to reach back down and assist the others coming up behind them: all working together, under one headship (Christ Jesus), all humbly serving the other (as one woman handed me something I dropped, at one point); and no one usurping the other, but instead— serving the other.  There was no competition, no vying for leadership, nothing coming forth but unity and companionship on the road less traveled— assisting, loving, and covering one another— as we all came through the same Door, Way, and Life of Jesus Christ.

There are some who are awake in the house of God to ‘see’ what is going on right now, in how the enemy is taking out God’s people with shots to the head; because something is amiss within; and the enemy has a way to spiritually come after them (some legality) by the choices they are living by.  These remnant ones are laying down their lives in intercessions— not to shame these, but to beckon them to come to the Lord authentically, lay their lives down, repent, convert— and be saved: these— desire for nothing less than the family of God to GROW: and so they are merciful lovers of God and man.  

My desire is (as I was one of these watchmen) to warn and bring all into a place of reverence toward not only walking the narrow way with Jesus— but in bringing forth the warning that satan is currently taking out who he can because of people in the house of God’s lack of proper covering.

The proper covering is the life of Jesus Christ; and keeping the garment covering he gave us —spotless and ironed out: righteousness lived in: the truth and way— lived in— within our soul lives in the earth.  Where we are here, in the earth and soul, as we are in the heavenly realm: as he is, and joined to him, in his narrow way lived and walked out.  

That is a spiritual walk that is taking place in authenticity within the lives of men and women who call themselves by his name: the remnant house of God.

His name is a serious thing; and it ought to be: all of salvation rides upon the revelation of his name: and is how he is above all other principalities, powers, thrones, and dominions: he is holy, holy, holy; and we are to be as well (set apart, set apart, set apart— for real, real, real).

Lord God, I pray the gravity of this message comes forth, and we heed it through a repentant heart; and keep our focus on our own hearts and lives; and be minded on squaring away our own relationship born in authenticity with you— as we uphold your covenant.  Too many are minded on everyone else, what they are doing and up to; and all the while —neglecting to check their own garden for weeds.  Weeds— you can deal with; complete apostasy where we renounce our religious (moral) principles that are to be lived by, as we observe your narrow lifeway— is a completely different story.

Father— for those who are authentically doing relationship with you; you will be faithful to finish a good work in.  But for those who forsake the narrow path and way of Jesus Christ, refuse to live as he lives, and cling to a false conversion within as they walk in hypocrisy (hyper grace, continued in lawlessness and conduct) —let us warn with great warning; that satan is already taking them out with headshots.  Because I venture to say— they do not wear the head of Christ upon them; for satan is already defeated by you Lord Jesus; and thus— they have another headship within them, and upon them— entirely: one born of his nature, eating off his table; and the result when he comes calling for them— is tragically horrifying.

Prayer of repentance and reunion:

defeating satan and his works in us

______________________________________________

“Father God, Lord Jesus, I come to you today to square away my covenant with you.   And I understand that to covenant with someone means to come into an agreed upon conduct that both will undertake and walk in toward one another.  It is a promise, it’s contractual, and it is binding; and both parties must uphold it— or it is void and null (as covenants go); because it is a mutual agreement, and both parties have a part to fulfill: as it must be upheld by both you and by me— to be fulfilled.

I understand the narrow way is the way of the remnant church, and the remnant church is a puny amount of people taken from the entirety of the full church; who are walking authentically with you and upholding this covenant— which is immersed in the life of Jesus (the new covenant and testament), who walks the narrow way: which is God’s person’s way of conduct and being.

I see that many are diverting off of this narrow pathway, and going another way.  But I am consecrating my walk to your way, and sanctifying my life by your word: as I come into being your word of truth incarnate; as the life of Jesus becomes erect within my inward man, stand up (and I am resurrected in Life).  I surrender to his process, and acclimate and assimilate into the new man being created in me— through the workmanship of Jesus Christ.

I desire to work with your Spirit, to be returned to the very image and likeness of God, in my whole being; as Jesus continues his workmanship within me, as I am given to this workmanship’s completion in me.

I will not walk as a hypocrite, or a self led man— by the assistance of the holy Spirit with me; and I will be led of the headship of Christ Jesus: proved— as I yield to him, and his life begins to fruit out in me in outward actions— born of inward conversion, and a consecrated life.

I will watch my own walk, and I will work with God— not against him; as I uphold his word, and not fight against it, with the conduct and virtue I live in, and become.

I will walk the talk.  I will live the word.  I will become the love.  I will yoke and unite, and join Jesus Christ in his life.  I will live the gospel— and show forth the salvation of Jesus— as his workmanship is displayed in and through my life: as we become one, joined in authenticity in the spirit.

I know you forgive me for falling short— but you also seek for my ways to change, and for an authentic union to come forth, by both of us upholding our end of the marriage covenant: one toward the other.  And in this— I am covered under the shadow of the Almighty— for I am then dwelling in the secret place with Jesus (a spiritual location), because we are both loving each other, honoring each other, and thereby fulfilling our marriage covenant to one another.

I understand you are asking me to know you, and know you well— as a marriage partner ought to; and to honor and uphold your person in the deepest parts of me: and then be transformed into the reflected image and likeness that you are (like and echo): as I behold your beauty, and am given to it, in the deepest inward places of my person.

I give myself to you fully; not in word alone— but in deed/actions, authenticity, and effort.

Come Lord Jesus, and bring me into all truth lived, and take me from glory to glory, each step of the way.  For I endeavor to be a man who joins you in your narrow way, living the truth, and abiding in the life.

Amen, Lord Jesus: blessed and holy— is the name of the Lord: and those who are joined to him.”
