DREAMTALK 7
Job 33:14-18(KJV)
"For God speaketh once,
yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not."
"In a dream, in a vision
of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon
men, in slumberings upon the bed; "
"Then he openeth the ears
of men, and sealeth their instruction,"
"That he may withdraw man
from his purpose, and hide pride from man."
"He keepeth back his soul
from the pit, and his life from perishing by
the sword."
The dreamer had a series of dreams on a cold and dark night.
In the first dream, he found himself in a
dark and mountainous forest before a cave. In front of the cave were
three different creatures. Suddenly there came a bright light from the
cave and a voice was heard saying, 'This
forest has so many enemies. Therefore I have chosen you to work
together to fight off and out all these enemies. Hawk,
I have given you the power of flight and sharp sight
to detect the enemy from afar off. Chameleon, I
have given you the gift of camouflage and smallness to penetrate the
best fortress of the enemy. Ox, from me you
have strength to attack the enemy and armour to resist their
counter-attack.' Just then the dreamer woke up.
Jer.1:5(KJV)
"Before I formed thee in
the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest
forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet
unto the nations."
John 15:16(KJV)
"Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that
ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it
you."
The dreamer soon fell asleep and had a second dream. He found himself
on a rock adjacent to an enemy camp by the fringes of the forest. As he
looked up,he saw the hawk soaring high over the camp. Within
minutes,the hawk returned and landed with the chameleon in the shadow
of the rock where the dreamer stood (he was invisible to anyone except
the lord of the forest). The chameleon found its way in and out
of the enemy camp. It returned to the shadow of the rock from where the
hawk carried it back to the ox with whom they conversed. With the
knowledge of the location,strengths and weaknesses of the enemy
camp,the ox attacked and scattered the enemy! The dreamer woke up again.
Joshua 1:5(KJV)
"There shall not any man
be able to stand before thee all the days of
thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail
thee, nor forsake thee."
Joshua 21:44(KJV)
"And the LORD gave them
rest round about, according to all that he
sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their
enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their
hand."
The dreamer fell back to sleep and had a third dream. He found himself
at a conference of the three under an oak tree. The conference was
summoned and chairmaned by the ox. The ox was saying to the other
two,'You can see how our fame has spread all over this great forest
since we have chased out all enemies! I now propose that we rule the
forest ourselves based on our popularity!' The hawk replied,'It seems a
great idea but it is outside the mandate that we were given by the lord
of the forest.' The ox said,'But if the lord really rules over this
forest he would not have needed us to defeat the enemy.' The chameleon
asked,'Why don't we present this idea to the lord and get his opinion
and approval?' Then the ox angrily answered,'It is apparent that you
two are cowards and fools! I shall reign over this forest and none of
you can stop me,haw-haw!!!' Shocked,the dreamer woke up again!
Proverbs 8:13(KJV)
"The fear of the LORD is
to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the
evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."
Proverbs 16:18(KJV)
"Pride goeth before
destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."
The dreamer drifted back to sleep and a fourth dream. He was now in a
clearing of the forest at a great feast held in honour of the ox as the
king of the forest. He saw in a dark corner of the clearing the hawk
and the chameleon. conversing in low tones. When he moved nearer to
them,he clearly heard their chat:'Remember what you must do with that
herb that I brought from the lord's garden',said the hawk. 'I must drop
it quietly into the ox's royal cup of wine',whispered the chameleon.
After a series of speeches from various dignitaries in honour of the
ox,its strength,and its fame,it was time to raise a toast to the king.
Once that was done,the newly crowned king rose to give his first royal
speech. Just as the ox started its address to his subjects,it slumped
and its armoured skin became covered with horrible rashes and sores!
Immediately the crowd screamed with a loud voice,'It is the sign of the
curse,flee for your lives!'and each one took flight to its own home!
1 Sam.2:3(KJV)
"Talk no more so exceeding
proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your
mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are
weighed."
Matt.23:12(KJV)
"And whosoever shall exalt
himself shall be abased; and he that shall
humble himself shall be exalted."
As the dreamer watched the awful sight of the stricken ox,a light
filled the deserted clearing and the voice that the dreamer heard at
the cave said,
'Son of man,tell the lost world that each person needs to come to me
through my Son,Jesus Christ to be saved from sin and to receive
all that is needed for fulfilment of divine destiny which is both
individual and corporate. Warn My people to beware of any kind of pride
which only causes anyone to fall from grace to shame. Pride is the
enemy of destiny!!!'
Jer.13:15(KJV)
"Hear ye, and give ear; be
not proud: for the LORD hath spoken."
James 4:6(KJV)
"But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,
but giveth grace unto the humble."
Trembling the dreamer woke up from sleep to deliver this message
without delay!
