Midnight Ministries' Dream Diary
2002
Dominating Ministries
To Be Cut Back
3rd Jan 2002. M.
Dominating ministries to be cut back
The scene was our back
garden which was a beautiful sight. [Depicting God's pleasure with MM's
teaching, etc. The truth is beautiful.] However, there were tall Beech trees
in the adjacent land on one side which created a lot of shade. They were
oppressive and dominant, overshadowing our garden.
Then, as if supernaturally,
a huge bough of one of these trees broke off. It crashed down, just missing
our shed.
Meaning:
The dominant ministries steal some of the light that we should be getting so
that God’s truth can be seen. God will do something to cut back their
overbearing presence.
Delay For Funding
5th Jan 2002. M. Three
dreams
1) The application form for
a loan
We had filled in an
application form, like one you fill in to obtain a loan or mortgage. But
something was wrong with it. It hadn’t been correctly filled in, so it was
rejected. The clerk said we had to start again!
I was horrified, because I
realised it would take time to get hold of the money needed. I felt we just
didn’t have that time to play with. We couldn’t last any longer without
money!
Meaning:
We have waited a long time for income to materialise. God is warning that
there would be further delay. [And there was, but He performed a financial
miracle by another route, while the delay is being sorted.]
Walking Amidst The Power Of
God
2) Walking amidst the power
of God
I was looking up to some
high voltage power lines that we had constructed as part of a huge civil
engineering project. In order to inspect the power lines, someone had put a
few of my scaffold boards alongside the cables, so they could walk along
them. I was amazed. It was so daring. After taking a look at what others had
been doing with our materials, I departed, as did some others, to go and get
on with other tasks. Some guy whom I didn’t know personally was driving off
in his vehicle. He was pleased to see me and waved.
Meaning:
Those who dare can do great exploits for God by learning from our materials
about walking by faith, etc. (the scaffold boards). The man walking on them
is David Isaac Ohuoba in Nigeria, who raised two people from the dead some
months after the dream was given. That's daring!
Not Much Time To Fell Some
Trees
3) 2 minutes to fell some
trees
We were called to lop down
some trees in a school quadrangle. This school had an outer rim and an inner
rim of rooms built in a square and the gap in between these two quadrangles
was where there were some trees growing which we had the job of cutting
down. However, those in charge told us that we only had 10 minutes to do
this.
We went to get our tools,
but the guy in charge was really particular [God’s standards and
expectations are exacting] and told someone in our party that his saw was
too blunt and that he could not use it. He had to get another sharper one.
By the time we had got our saws ready some minutes had passed. There were
only 2 minutes left to do the job.
Anyway, we got on with the
job, despite the fact that there was so little time left to do it. The gap
in between these buildings was not all on the same level. At one point one
had to ascend a flight of stairs. The time passed, and even though we knew
there were only 2 minutes to do it, we carried on, not concerned about when
that time would elapse.
Meaning:
I think it may be to do with the revival in which we will be engaged. God
has previously said that it would last 2 years, and after that the
Tribulation will come to Britain. But no one knows when the time is to be
reckoned from and when it will end. We are not to be concerned about that.
We should simply get on with the job assigned to us, regardless.
The dated quadrangle
arrangement reflects the old- fashioned system in churches. People are
learning about spiritual things there in two main sectors (those who value
and uphold emphasis on the Word, and those who place emphasis on the
supernatural giftings of the Spirit). In between (and perhaps affecting
both) there are some trees (representing ministries and churches) which must
be cut down. Prophets are given the task of tearing down, before restoration
can occur.
When Jesus Died And Arose
6th Jan 2002. M.
Booklet: The Timing of
Jesus’ Death & Resurrection
In this dream, it seemed
that this booklet caused a real stir! And so it should! The Church has
thrown out the truth on this subject and has believed a lie since before the
Dark Ages.
The 3 days and 3 nights was
the only sign Jesus gave of His Messiahship, yet the Church does not believe
He fulfilled it!
The majority of Christians
accept the Good Friday - Easter Sunday tradition. The only other groups I
know who reject this are ritualistic Church of God groups who believe Jesus
died on a Wednesday afternoon and arose on a Saturday afternoon. But in our
publication, I show how even this is erroneous. Jesus died on a Tuesday
afternoon and arose Friday afternoon.
Tony Blair Will Be
Embarrassed
7th Jan 2002. M. Tony
Blair
An audience was listening
to a speaker at a function at which Tony Blair, the Prime Minister, was
present. I don’t know if the speaker was a prophet or not, but he prophesied
to Tony Blair by telling him some secrets of his personal life. He really
embarrassed him by telling him in front of all the people that he should
enjoy sex more. His face turned red.
Meaning:
Tony Blair will be really humiliated and in some way it will involve the
giving of prophetic input. The dream may also hint at some aspects of his
life, his priorities, and the stress involved in holding his position. But
he sought power and that is accompanied by arrogance. All the arrogant will
be brought low as the prophets declare (Is 2:11-12,17; 5:15; 13:11; 26:5).
Kenyan Outreach Below
Standard
9th Jan 2002. M.
I was inside a bungalow
considering what alterations
should be made to it to make it as it ought to be. The entrance floor
was all uneven, being of brick underneath and only covered with a sheet of
lino. Then there was a small step up to the main floor which was covered in
a light red carpet with a regular unobtrusive pattern. It was not my choice
of carpet, but since it was there and it was functional, I thought it should
be retained. I suggested that the uneven floor at the entrance should be
covered similarly, since there was not much else you could do with it. The
carpet would cover the imperfections, etc. I suggested that there might even
be a bit of the main carpet left over, lying around, which could be used.
Meaning:
An e-mail came from Xxxxxx in
Kenya
this morning. The dream is probably an illustration that there’s not much we
can do about altering things there and making them as we would like them to
be. They will always be below what we would consider ideal, but we just have
to make the best of the situation and get on with things.
Confrontation Unavoidable
12th Jan 2002. M. 2 dreams.
1) Dream of Opposition
Two groups of people were
facing each other. One group (ours) was coming down a river on a raft made
of (believe it or not!) builders’ trestles with scaffold boards on top, on
which soldiers were standing with swords. They had some asbestos sheets in
front as a shield.
Then, downstream, another
group was standing to oppose this ‘army’ coming towards them. They had guns
and prepared to open fire. Seeing what they were about to do, I became very
concerned. ‘Our army’ was no match for those with guns. Then the guns fired.
But the bullets didn’t kill any of our soldiers, they just ricocheted off
the asbestos shield.
Meaning:
God has employed metaphors in this dream which reflect my past work as a
builder. Now He is employing me in working to build His spiritual temple.
The dream portrays substantial opposition which we will face in the near
future as we take His confrontational message to the Church.
The Sunday-keeping
fraternity are going to mount great opposition against us over the Sabbath
issue.
2) Resistance to truth.
This dream also conveyed the fact that a large part of the Church is
vehemently against receiving further truth!
The Antiquated WCG
14th Jan 2002. M. The
old house of the WCG
We were visiting an old
house to have a look around it. We went inside. The ceilings were so
antiquated and high – about 15 feet high! I noticed a water pipe below the
ceiling, which would usually be above the ceiling. Someone had tried to
disguise it by covering it with plaster like the ceiling itself.
This room also had old
fashioned ‘chunky’ mouldings and cornices. In the hallway, there were some
equally old paintings like old masters. One was of a ship – a galleon – at
sea.
The whole place was so much
behind the times. I asked, in a very soft voice (not wanting to disturb
anyone), to the man who had let us in, if we could see the rest of the house
and whether the woman, whom we presumed lived there, would let us in. We
waited for him to come back to us, but he didn’t. We were just kept waiting.
She didn’t appear, nor did he.
Meaning:
This dream depicts the WCG. We know this because it was given when we had
contact by correspondence with one of its church leaders. The church is
antiquated, but they have tried to 'modernise' it, without much success.
It's a bodged job. Like the painting in the dream, the church is 'all at
sea'.
We had just written to the
man in the dream. God warns us through the dream that he will fail to be
truly open and will not respond, despite the polite and endearing tone in my
letters. That occurred precisely as God predicted! [Always does!!]
Get A Move On! There's
Little Time!
19th Jan 2002. M. 3 Dreams
1)
Going to the Train Station
People were walking along
slowly down a railway track. I came up from behind and passed them, moving
briskly. I nimbly skipped from sleepers to the rails, and off the track,
down a slope into a train station. The people I had passed seemed a bit
surprised at the speed with which I was walking.
Meaning:
We have a sense of urgency to move ahead. It’s necessary. There is so little
time to get things done. But most Christians are just ambling along, not
realising the urgency of the times. There is much to be done in a very short
space of time! So, everyone needs to really move!
Reinhard's Dead Procession
2) The Funeral Procession
Reinhard Bonnke
was in this dream.
The funeral procession.
There were a number of people going to a funeral. All the bodies – and there
were many of them, probably 20 or 30 – were loaded onto a flat-bed cart
which people were pulling. The corpses were covered with reddish-brown
sheets, like the colour of burnt soil.
On other smaller trailers,
small people were sitting (in sixes), totally covered (over their heads as
well, so they couldn't see anything) with charcoal coloured blankets. Also,
they were facing the other direction to the way the procession was going.
Reinhard Bonnke was at the front, leading them. I couldn't help but think,
"Why doesn't he show them what is wrong with their customs? Why does he just
go along with them without correcting the error in their tribal
traditions?!"
Comment:
Here God is revealing that there is a need to forcefully address the matter
of wrong traditions in the Church, such as Sunday worship, Easter,
Christmas, hierarchic church authority, etc., which are as pagan in their
origins as tribal (demonic) traditions.
It is now time to move on.
The old church structures and teachings are inadequate to prepare the Bride
of Christ to accept the full purity of God's teachings in His Word.
'Elijah' must do his work.
He must challenge all the false prophets of Asherah and Baal and their
compromised teachings promoted by Jezebel in the Church.
Meaning:
Here is what the imagery of this dream portrays:
Funeral.
The Church with its present teachings is heading towards death, as in
Sardis. It needs new revelation of truth to revive it.
Many dead bodies.
There are many dead Christians, who are not alive by the Holy Spirit.
People sitting in sixes.
Six in biblical numerics denotes the evil which men subscribe to. From God's
perspective, these small groups of people need to come to terms with the
evil in their Christian practice.
Totally covered... they
couldn't see anything. The blindness of the Church. They can't see where they are
headed. They are blindly following customs that have no biblical basis.
Facing the other direction
to which the procession was going.
Reinhard is pointing people towards God's Kingdom of righteousness which
Jesus introduced. Despite the fact that he has got some things wrong in his
theology, the overall thrust of all his work is towards God. But many
believers are facing the other way. They don't share his aspirations. They
are selfish and self-orientated, which is backward looking.
Reinhard was at the front,
leading them. God holds him responsible as their spiritual leader for not
showing them the folly and unbiblical nature of their religious practices.
Reinhard, my dear friend,
There needs to be a radical
re-emphasis in your teaching to these people. You need to upgrade the
content and spiritual depth of your preaching. After all, you are not
preaching to the unconverted. Most of those gathered at your meetings are
church folks (with a minority who are not), and they need to be fed and
challenged not merely entertained.
Your evangelistic meetings
are opportunities for all these people to come together for a big
celebration, which is wonderful. But there needs to be more. As long as
spiritual instruction stays in the shallows, how can they be made ready for
the final thrust of preaching that must come to prepare the Bride?
Will they be ready when
Jesus comes? Or from now on will they just continue to remain in the dark,
heads covered, going backwards towards their own funerals, after they have
attended those of others?
[See earlier dream on p
41, Reinhard Is Assassinated, and also two dreams below.]
3) Dream about someone in
Kenya,
so we would know how to handle a certain situation.
Malcolm Lifted Up At The
Banquet
22nd Jan 2002. M. Dream
of a Banquet.
I was in a large meeting
hall with lots of other people. They were all sitting at tables, enjoying
food and fellowship. Hilary McKenzie was there amongst them.
I was in a separate area on
my own. Instead of being on the floor level with all the people, I had a
table where I seemed to be by myself. It was at a higher level. I didn’t
like being lifted up, but I was.
Comment:
There is a WOW song entitled “God is preparing a feast.” This is an allegory
of our invitation to partake of immortal life with Jesus as His eternal
partner. In 1992 we went to Cannock, where Andrew Wommack, a visiting
American preacher was speaking. God moved us to go. During the meeting
something very unusual happened to that group.
A lady received a vision
of a Canada Goose (migratory bird) flying in with two tables laden with
luscious fruit under its wings. She spoke out what she was seeing in vision,
but I don't think anyone there knew what it meant. Ironically, Wommack
didn't ask anyone if they had received an interpretation. I had, but they
never received it, just like he didn't receive me as a prophet. (I wrote
several lengthy letters to him to encourage him to move on in the faith, but
he dismissed all our input.)
The vision was given to
point to the fact that God was coming via someone who would not stay [the
migratory bird] and was offering two tables of fruit (cf. the ten
commandments on 2 tables of stone) to them. We were there that day in 1992,
but had no contact with them after that. We ‘migrated’.
There is a banquet coming
up for the entire Church, in which we will be presenting to the Church the
truths which God has had us compile in our literature.
God Predicts A Large Cheque
Coming
30th Jan 2002. M. 4 dreams
1) We were given a cheque
for about £100,000, but it was a figure that contained the numbers ‘123’. S was
in the background, sidelined, watching this occur. Psalm 123 says:
I lift up my eyes to you,
to you whose throne is in heaven. As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of
their master, as the eyes of a maid look to the hand of her mistress, so our
eyes look to the Lord our God, till He shows us His mercy.
Have mercy on us, O Lord,
have mercy on us, for we have endured much contempt.
We have endured much
ridicule from the proud, much contempt from the arrogant.
Canada
2) We experienced a
large response in
Canada.
This is a prophecy for the future.
How Demonic Dementia Is
Cured
3) A man was mentally
deranged and took all his clothes off and walked around naked in full
view of everyone. His wife was upset by his behaviour but there was nothing
she could do about it. They weren’t believers. I went up to this woman and
explained that the dementia was caused by demons affecting him. I told her
that he could be helped, but it would mean that they would have to let God
into their lives – not that they would be able to let Him come into their
lives completely, but if they simply opened the door to Him, He would
deliver her husband from this very troubling condition.
4) There was a small croft
in Scotland to which some building work was being finished. I had been
plastering the walls inside. A couple of people came by and we exchanged
brief chat. It was a nice sunny day and I commented on this positive aspect.
They agreed. Then I noticed that where the plaster was still wet and soft in
one corner, some children had sculpted a face on it.
Meaning:
Some Christians in Scotland who are very immature. God likens them to
naughty children. They are too immature to handle our materials properly.
Talking With Reinhard
Bonnke
15th Feb 2002. M. Two
dreams about Reinhard Bonnke
1) I was talking with
Reinhard about things to do with his preaching of the gospel. These words came
out of my mouth (prophetic words God inspired). "A preacher's success is
not rated by the number of people he reaches, but by the depth of repentance
he teaches." John the Baptist was the most highly rated man of God,
according to Jesus, because of the depth of repentance he taught.
2) While talking to
Reinhard, I brought up the important subject of keeping the Sabbath holy as God
instructs us in the Bible. This analogy was given by the Spirit. I said:
"When you make tea you make
it with hot water because you want to keep it hot. You don't wait until the
water is cold before pouring the water onto the tea." So it is with the
Sabbath. It is holy time ('hot') and God commands us to keep it holy (Ex
20:8-11). He tells us how to keep it holy. That holy time comes to us as the
7th day of the week begins Friday evening.
But the customs of most of
the Church in this present evil world are to wait until holy time has
expired and keep Sunday instead. You can't keep cold water hot, nor can you
keep Sunday as holy time when it isn't.
I Am Swindled
16th Feb 2002. M. Three
dreams
1) A man tricked me
into selling him our assets (valuable paintings in this analogy) for a
really low price, so that he could make money out of them. If we had held
onto these assets for a bit longer, instead of giving them up to him, we
would not have forfeited what we did. We would have received so much more
increase.
Meaning:
An allegory of how someone has talked us out of our assets which should be
put to maximum use for God's Work. Instead, he has, through deceit, managed
to get these assets from us for his own selfish use.
Filthy Cat
2) Another man who kept a
filthy cat (the cat was mangy) was trying discreetly to scrounge food
from us. I didn't know where it was safe for him to have his barbecue
without setting fire to our things.
Meaning:
This describes pictorially someone we know and what he is doing. The cat
represents a person close to him.
New Car Incomplete
3) I received a new car
However, there was a large
cut-out in the dashboard, as if something had been removed – it was missing.
Meaning:
To do with what we will receive. The giver will not give me all I should
receive. He will fail to fulfil all God's will.
Deluge Coming!
23rd Feb 2002. M. A
Deluge
The sky was extremely
overcast and lowering. It was so heavy, that the only light that penetrated
seemed a sickly yellow in the gloom. Then it rained torrentially. But,
unlike most heavy downpours, it didn't stop. It kept on and on.
I was worried by this. I
knew that the land around our home and a few miles uphill drains into a
ditch beside our property. The threat of flooding would be very real! I took
this to mean that we should make preparations for such an eventuality and
get a powerful pump to deal with potential flooding of the cellar.
Meaning:
The dream depicted more rain to come for this country and the problems it
brings. [This happened in late 2002 and early 2003. Our cellar got flooded
in Jan 2003. And other areas of Britain suffered severe flooding.]
It is also most likely an
analogy of what is coming from God, spiritually. A massive outpouring from
heaven brings its own problems, with correspondingly great response,
opposition and judgement.
New Bibles Arrive
3rd January 2002. H.
Two new editions of the
Bible arrived in the post.
I was very eager to receive
them and read them as I felt they would be used for evangelism.
Meaning:
The Bible will be given more exposure and new life through:
1) exposition (done through
our publications) and
2) through evangelism.
The Bible will be made
alive and meaningful to ordinary people. The witness will go to 1) the
Church and 2) the nation (symbolised by the two new Bibles).
It also depicts more
inspiration from God (the Bible was inspired by God). So are our
publications in their content, and in the dreams we receive from God.
WCG Minister Hides The
Truth
5th January 2002. H. 2
dreams
1.
Dream of WCG minister
He looked much older
(signifying spiritual tiredness). He was interested in seeing some of our
cushions, which were designed in different shapes, in light blue colour. I
left him to have a good look, but when I came back the cushions had been
hidden under an armchair cushion.
Meaning:
These cushions pictured are the MM publications inspired by God (blue, which
is a heavenly colour). A few weeks ago we sent a certain WCG church leader
some of our literature which he would find interesting and challenging.
However, because of pride and fear he would do nothing about the new truths.
He hid them away.
Hard Church Leadership
(False Ministers)
2.
Evil church leadership
I was shown men who were
used by the devil. They were part of the church leadership structure. Their
faces looked rigid, mechanical and hard.
Meaning:
These men are false ministers controlling the Church through their
leadership, keeping God's people in bondage and blocking the flow of the
Holy Spirit, causing the Church to fall asleep and die spiritually. The
Church needs to be released from the grip of the synagogue of Satan (Rev
3:9). God will do this through miracles and the right teaching.
At Chris Tarrant's
7th January 2002. H. 2
dreams
1.
I was a guest at Chris Tarrant's home. I noticed that they had an
unusual way of wrapping cutlery and food together. He also offered me an
alcoholic drink.
Meaning:
This shows they have some unusual ways as a family. Through publicity people
will be aware of the work we have to do, who otherwise take no interest in
the things of God.
Spiritual Washing To Occur
2.
Huge washing machine
A huge washing machine was
being installed. Meaning: The spiritual washing will begin with the
proclamation of God's truths and teaching. As people receive the right
teaching they will be able to put on the robes of righteousness.
Two 'Parts' Of The Church
9th March 2002. M. The
antiquated state of the Church
In this dream, the Church
was represented by two properties. One was tall and thin, about three
storeys high, like an old townhouse. The other was more like a mansion,
spread out and spacious. The latter was appealing, the former was not, but
neither was modern. They were both antiquated.
Three builders lived at the
'mansion'. There was a large gravel driveway, which was very convenient for
them. They could park their vehicles there – two vans and a lorry. I got the
impression that the property, despite being the more appealing of the two,
was run down and neglected, because the builders' attention was more focused
on their work outside. [This is a parody of the charismatic church.]
Then, I saw the other
property, the narrow, restrictive 'townhouse'. In fact, at one time I had
wanted to renovate this property, but when I saw it now, I was glad that I
hadn't been given the task. I saw the face of this building completely
removed. The building was gutted, and a real mess! Now that the exterior
wall had been removed, it revealed the dreadful mess the entire place had
been inside! Now it was opened up everyone could see what a shambles it was!
[An allegory of the more restrictive Sabbatarian sector of the Church.]
God Takes Care Of Every
Need
10th March 2002. M.
A small
amount (but very welcome!) of money was showered down upon us. [God is
reassuring us that our financial needs will be provided. Thank you, Lord.]
CoGs Are Perverse!
17th March 2002. M.
The perverse pride of the
Churches of God
I saw a woman. This woman
unzipped her trousers and exposed herself. But she was a man! She was proud
to let her male member hang out, and did this on more than one occasion. It
was uncircumcised.
Lest you get the wrong
impression, this dream's perverse sexuality was not erotic. God is using the
imagery to convey something in the spiritual, if you have the eyes to
perceive it. In the Bible (mostly in Revelation), as you know, God uses
sexual imagery or likenesses to portray spiritual qualities or
characteristics.
The dream was given after
an ex-WCG man had called me on the phone mentioning what they had covered in
their Sabbath meeting. He had invited a Church of God preacher to come and
preach a sermon to his group. God wants to convey something to help him in
his spiritual journey towards the
Kingdom
of God. [But he won’t receive it.]
A woman being a man sounds
ridiculous, but it conveys the fact that the subject(s) of the dream should
be part of the Bride of Christ, although he (or they) is a man. While one
person was depicted, it can include others who are of the same mind. It
depicts those with a Church of God mindset.
They have a perverse pride
in what they possess, or think they possess. This pride runs throughout the
Churches of God which are spin-offs of the WCG system. They are proud of
their heritage, of the 'biblical knowledge' which they possess, which they
have not cast aside like the mother church in her gross apostasy.
But, God portrayed this
person as uncircumcised, meaning unconverted. They have not yet allowed the
Spirit of God to change them within, but still have a hard heart that is
resistant to the cleansing of the Holy Spirit.
To be blunt, they operate
'in the flesh' and don't accept the Holy Spirit, so they reject spiritual
gifts, the value of revelation from God through prophets, and the everyday
guidance of the Holy Spirit which they could have (when needed) like the
prophet receives in dreams, visions, prophetic words and with signs and
wonders as God provides to fulfil His plan.
All in all, they simply
carry on in spiritual perversity because they are proud and self-satisfied
with their present state and don't want more of God. In this state, the
words of God through His prophets sound strange and they can't understand.
Jesus called such ritualists blind.
The Coming Tribulation
16th April 2002. M.
In this
dream, Helena was concerned about the coming tribulation. I believe
Helena
depicts the attitude of the Church towards this impending time of trouble. I
was reminded of Richard Wurmbrand’s excellent writings in The Church
Triumphant, preparing people to face hardship, repression, and such
horrendous difficulties. [Some of this is included in Articles of Faith,
Volume 3.]
Get Ready To Do
More
Building!
17th April 2002. M. Three
dreams. 1 and 2 were of the need to get ready to move ahead, to do a
building job.
Free Again
The third dream was about a
woman who was so glad to be able to fly again. The scene was a coastline,
with cliffs and grassy slopes, coming down from moorland above. She was able
to hang-glide there and was so glad to be able to do so. It was as if we had
paid for her to do this. She had wonderful freedom again.
The Outpouring Ahead
18th April 2002. M. A
Deluge Coming
The scene was a muddy
river. It wasn’t flowing fast, but a big deluge was expected, when the
situation could become quite perilous. There was a lot of flotsam and
detritus in the water besides being thick brown!
Helena and I had to climb
up the very steep bank at this river’s side. But it was so steep; it was
about 70 degrees! It was really difficult and dangerous. It would be so easy
to slip and slide all the way down into the water!
Helena
made it to the top first [she is the intercessor, not me], and I followed.
It was a relief to make it.
But I wanted to salvage a
board of plywood, so I went back for it, before going up the bank again,
this time with the board. Just after having done that, there was a sudden
rise in the level of the water as the river started flowing very fast.
One other thing was
conveyed in the dream: it was as if the river was the River Elbe in Europe.
Meaning:
A short while after this dream was given, heavy rain caused the River Elbe
in Germany to become swollen and muddy like in the dream and there were
floods.
But that's not the main
meaning. It depicts the sure arrival of a massive spiritual outpouring from
heaven when God will raise the dead, pour out His power in dramatic ways, to
promote the truths we have written in our publications.
21st April. M. S turned up
and sat next to me. [Personal.]
Church Teaching Is POISON!
22nd April 2002. M.
ERGOT!
We sliced open some pitta
bread. It was really old and dry. Inside it was all blue with mould spores
which spread like dust. Then I was shown ergot in wheat.
Meaning:
It may refer to another curse on our land that is imminent, as part of the
judgment upon Britain. The deadly fungus Ergot killed many people in the
Middle Ages!
But it also depicts the
dreadful teaching in churches which is analogous to the old, stale,
yeast-infected bread!
Our MM Headquarters
29th April 2002. M. Two
dreams
1)
I was looking for another place for us to establish our ministry
headquarters. We were expanding and needed more space. But the first
place I went to see wasn’t any good. It was too small. Then I considered an
old farm which was up for sale. But it was really old, and needed so much
work doing to it that it would be a waste of our time trying to operate from
there. It was as if we just couldn’t find a suitable place.
Meaning:
Humanly, it is impossible to find the ideal place for MM to operate from in
the near future, when physical expansion will occur like an exponential
curve. With man these things are impossible, but not with God.
I Don't Want To Hurt,
But...
2)
S came to see us. His visit was only a few days away. It wasn’t long. He was
a bit sheepish and cautious with me, but I was glad to see him and welcomed
him with open arms and gave him a hug. (Correction tends to hurt, but any
whom God tells me to correct must understand that it is not me who is
correcting them. It’s part of the prophet’s task, but, humanly, I just want
to be friends with them. I don’t want to hurt them.)
Refurbishing The
Spiritual
Church
1st May 2002. M.
Refurbishment work
I had to do a job of
replastering the ceiling of an old Victorian house. It was very high up,
which made me a bit uneasy because I was not used to working at such a
height. [High up depicts prominence or being in the public eye, and doing
something which God considers important.] Also, all around this ceiling
there was coving and I wasn’t sure how to go about refurbishing this.
Meaning:
The spiritual task ahead of us in the Church. It will be a new, and somewhat
daunting job.
In another scene, I was
cleaning up a spade which had mud stuck on it. I whacked it hard against a
post to make the mud fall off. I did this sideways, and a big lump of mud
flew off, and because the front door of this house was open, it landed on
the nice blue patterned carpet in the hallway. I asked Zenya to go and pick
it up.
Our Car Faltering
1st May 2002. M. Our car
faltering
In this dream, the car we
were driving started to develop engine problems and I went back to the
Person who had passed on the car to me to see what we could do about it.
This symbolises how I am
seeking God for His deliverance because our ministry is not able to move
forward for lack of finance.
Also, the back wheels on
this car were not upright, they must have been loose because they were
slanted at a very marked angle. It looked like the car could collapse at any
moment!
Meaning:
The ‘impossible’ state of our ministry due to lack of sufficient money to
move on as we should be doing (we have large credit card debts).
In another dream which
Helena
was given some weeks previously, God revealed that our insufficiency at
present is due to the failure of the those whom God has called to support us
as they should have been doing.
Most of those whom God
called to provide our financial support have selfishly run off to do ‘their
own thing’ first. They should have given God the FIRSTfruits, after which He
would have blessed their efforts. Instead they languish under the
repercussions of losing out on the prophet’s reward (Matt 10:41). The reward
you receive from helping a prophet is firstly understanding his God-given
message and secondly the deliverance of God in your own life in various
specific ways.
People lose out on this
reward when they don’t believe a prophet of God (because their heart is not
right). This is the over-riding problem in the Church today. God showed
Helena in that dream that our financial precariousness is a result
of the fact that the Church doesn’t want to hear what HE has to say!
Everything is Preordained!
One of the most amazing
things about God is His complete foreknowledge of everything. He knows
beforehand all that will occur, and when (Ps 139:16). Many people just
cannot accept that. It blows their minds! But the more prophetic input you
receive from God, the more you realise the immense scope of God’s knowledge,
and that the future is pre-ordained.
It’s as if everything that
will ever occur is ‘pre-recorded’ on a ‘tape’ of life stored in the spirit.
For example, this dream given a year ago depicts our present situation, held
up:
5th July 2001. M. We were
driving along a road, on which there was a whole stream of traffic,
following three vans which I wanted to pass. Finally I seized my opportunity
and managed to pass them. I passed all three in one move and pulled in
behind another car in front. But, no sooner had I achieved this move, than I
came up against traffic lights ahead and they turned red. They allowed the
car in front to go through, but we had to stop.
The situation was just
before a sharp right hand bend at the bottom of a hill. The hill was very
steep, something like 45 degrees! We waited and waited for the lights to
turn, but they didn’t turn green. There was a long queue of traffic behind
us, all held up, too. I was getting impatient with all this waiting, so I
took matters into my own hands. I went to look up the hill to see if there
was anything coming. There wasn’t, so I went through the red lights and
carried on my way. I don’t know what the other traffic behind did. That
wasn’t the main focus of the dream.
Meaning:
This depicts the ‘journey’ in our ministry. This is an allegory of what we
have gone through, and are going through now, and more that is yet to come.
[See also p 86.]
The Churches Of God
Steal What Is Ours
On 3rd May 2002 God gave me
2 dreams.
In the first one, a former
friend (I will call him Peter – not his real name) who is now a minister in
a ‘Church of God’ group bought a caravan worth between £1,000 and £2,000
which should have been ours. The owner was offering it for sale for only
£300. Peter had the cheek to offer him £250 for it (which illustrates his
personal stinginess). He bought it for that, but I knew that it should
really have come to us.
Meaning:
The caravan, worth a lot to us, represents the financial support we should
have had from various people who have joined the offshoot CoG church to
which Peter has given his loyalties. During the nineties, we paid out a lot
of money and effort to try to deliver those people from the WCG and its
dominating, restrictive mentality, but they have been ‘stolen’ from
supporting us by the selfishness and cunning of others.
Peter knew us well. He knew
we were faithful to God and His truth but he ignored us. He never contacted
us, despite my attempts in the early nineties to reach him with further
truth from God. We sent wave after wave of publications, tapes and videos to
show what was wrong with the WCG and its theology. It cost us thousands! For
all our sacrifice, we never had a proper word of thanks or financial
remuneration from anyone bred by the ungrateful selfish WCG system.
During those years that we
tried to alert WCG members to the spiritual dangers they faced, Peter stayed
in the WCG, only leaving them some years later. Now ‘his’ church leadership
financially benefits from those who left WCG at that same time to follow
‘his’ group.
God is saying that their
tithes rightfully belong to us.
The Exhibition And
Outpouring
2) We had a big top, a
circus tent
It was huge. Inside this
marquee were many exhibits. Much was being offered, and a great deal had
been assembled for people to enjoy and gain from. God portrayed it in a very
positive light.
Then there was a massive
downpour. Some of the rain came through the roof and, although I could not
see what damage it had caused, I knew that it must have caused some
destruction.
Meaning:
The dream portrays in symbol, this ministry in the near future, after
expansion. What is on offer under this canopy are many publications that
have been assembled over the years since 1991. Their positive impact and
appeal was also indicated in the dream. But Satan is out to destroy the
value of God’s liberating truth. In symbol, the devil tries to harness the
heavy rain as a destructive force.
Most People Are Not
Prepared To Pay
7th May 2002. M.
People’s Reluctance to Contribute
I was sitting in the middle
of an audience of people. A man came up to me holding a copy of Volume 1 of
Articles of Faith. He had obviously benefited from reading it and
asked me if the next volume was available. I said regrettably that it
wasn’t, because of lack of funds to print. “It is written, but we need about
£10,000.” At that, he was visibly shocked.
Meaning:
People don’t realise what it takes to do this work. They have no concept of
the massive costs involved, which are totally out of reach of individuals
like us who have so little support that the word is a joke. His body
reaction and language showed that he wasn’t prepared to pay the high price
towards producing these publications, despite the fact that he found them
very helpful. The dream highlights the lack of commitment in people.
If you read about the
commitment in the fledgling Church, it was totally different. It was total:
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No-one claimed that any of
his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had (Acts
4:32, NIV).
If there were the same
commitment today to doing God’s Work, we would not be short of funds to do
the job. But “everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of Jesus
Christ” (Phil 2:21, NIV).
Jesus has raised up an
Elijah-like work, to bring down the strongholds of Satan that bind people in
pagan syncretism and a compromised faith, and “they paid no attention and
went off – one to his field, another to his business” (Matt 22:5, NIV). (See
also the leaflet God's Work Cancelled For Lack of Interest! and under
Firstfruits in box below.)
The Allegory of The
Firstfruits
Our work for God will not
fail, (because it is ordained by Him), but it may falter. God allows that
for various reasons. (See box on p 88.)
One reason is to show those
who have let us down how their failure has hurt and hindered us. It is meant
to bring them to repentance, so that they turn over a new leaf and do what
God expects of them first, before they do what they want for
themselves.
That was the spiritual
lesson to be learned from the allegory of the firstfruits (Prov 3:9) and the
giving of the firstborn under the old covenant.
The extension of it in the
new covenant is epitomised by Christ, who went before us, showing us the
sacrificial example to emulate.
Man Rips Up His Driveway
8th May 2002. M. The man
and his wife next door
Our property was adjacent
to another, in very close proximity. (This is metaphoric, not literal.) Both
properties had a lot of space / land with them [freedom / latitude that
comes with accepting Truth]. There was an older man and his wife who lived
next door. Another feature was that we both had a JCB (mechanical digger).
Also, although I hadn’t seen it before, when I now looked I noticed that the
man next door had ripped up all his concrete driveway. He was beginning some
major alterations. One other aspect of the dream was that I was in the
bathroom and I wondered whether the neighbours could see that.
Meaning:
This was a real puzzle until an e-mail arrived this morning, which shed some
light on it. A man wrote from Alaska, with a corrective prophetic letter
which he had been moved by the Spirit to send to Assemblies of Yahweh in
Bethel, Pa, USA.
Ripping up the driveway
represents radical transformation and could also symbolise the first duty of
what a prophet has to do to present scriptural truth. He has to tear down
what is wrong (Jer 1:10) as well as present what is right.
We have noticed that God’s
prophetic anointing (function) on our ministry often transfers to others
when they are either in our company for fellowship, or staying with us, or
when they fully accept our office as prophets in the Body and the teaching
(God’s truth) that we promote. It doesn’t make them prophets, but God can
use them in a prophetic capacity as the need arises. God moved David to do
what he did.
But the downside to this is
that he got lifted up in pride and later threw out all the truth he learned
from us, and was seduced by false teachings from the Concordant Bible
Society. God predicted that in the imagery of ripping up the driveway.
What God Expects Of You
11th May 2002. M. The
Debts We Owe
As you will know, credit
card companies charge interest on the amount which you owe them. Some cards
also continue to charge interest on the whole amount you have previously
borrowed, if some of it still remains unpaid. Even if 99% of it has been
repaid, and 1% of the original balance remains outstanding, they will charge
interest on the whole 100% until that 1% is repaid!
In this dream, I was made
to think that something more exacting was in force. We have several credit
cards, from various companies which are independent of one another. But in
this dream, I was made to think that even though I had repaid the full
amount owing on one card, that the interest on what I previously borrowed on
that card was still accruing and being charged on another card.
In other words, what I
thought I no longer owed in one place, I was held accountable for and had to
repay in another place.
Meaning:
I didn’t know what to make of this dream for a while, but while praying, God
revealed that the meaning is spiritual. It has to do with what He has loaned
Christians and what Christians owe Him as a result.
As Jesus’ follower, there
are several areas of your conduct and response which you must examine to see
that you are giving God what you owe Him.
A lot of Christians have
been duped to believe that salvation is a one way street – that it’s a real
bargain because it’s God doing all the giving to us, and that He does not
expect anything in return from us. I heard about just such an individual
with that approach, recently.
Our son Richard runs a
mobile motor mechanic’s business. In the course of his rounds, one day he
met a man locally who said he passed our home frequently. (There is a main
road running by our property.) This man said “Every time I go past your
house and see ‘Jesus Raises The Dead!’ written on the front, I say
‘Hallelujah’!” He also said about being a Christian, “It’s a really good
deal. You’ve got nothing to lose.”
He knows Christ died to pay
for his sins, and that by accepting what Jesus has done he has the promise
of eternal life. That’s about all he sees. His Christian faith is very
shallow. He is certainly exuberant, but not so educated!
Jesus said every disciple
must count the cost of following Him (Luke 14:25-35). Why? Because there IS
a price to be paid! You must expect to lose EVERYTHING to be a fully
committed Christian! That’s not to say you will lose everything. But
you might; you could; and you have to be prepared to! It’s like
giving up all in order to buy the pearl of great price or the treasure
hidden in a field (Matt 13:44-46).
This dream was given after
I had to write a letter to someone who was having difficulty coming to terms
with the price that he must pay to reform his life into God’s righteous
image. It’s not easy for any of us. It hurts when you have to change! And
habits are hard to change. We all have habits that need to be corrected, so
that we are brought into line with God’s will instead of our own.
That day the Spirit led me
through the Word to list several aspects of our conduct where we need to
submit to God. I reproduce those notes here, so that they may help anyone
else.
What We Owe God
1. To obey Him diligently,
carefully
Deut 6:5-6.
Deut 6:8 (compare with
Rev 13:16-17).
Deut 6:17-18, 25.
Are these actions without
emotions and love? Hardly! But many believers treat them as if they were.
Such people are ritualists, merely doing works of the flesh (‘dead works’ –
Heb 6:1), but ignoring the corrupt and evil state of their spirit!
2. To love Him and to love
others
Matt 22:37-39.
Rom 13:8,9. It is a debt we
OWE!
God has given us love.
Actually, He has not given it, He has LOANED it to us, because He
expects a return on His investment! Have you read Matthew 25:27? What
God has loaned, He wants back with interest!
After a long time (at the
end of your life), He’s going to settle accounts with you (25:19). What will
you have paid Him back by then? Will you still owe Him something? Will there
be things in your life that you want to keep for yourself instead of giving
them all to Him?
He’s given us the Holy
Spirit which imparts spiritual qualities and virtues. He wants to see a
return on what He’s given you. He’s waiting to see in you:
Love, not hatred.
Faith, not fear.
Joy and thankfulness, not
grumbling or complaining.
Do you still do
harm to your neighbour? (Rom 13:9.) Do you still harbour thoughts against
him of resentment, anger, bitterness, hostility, unforgiveness? These are
not vibes of love from God, but vibes from the evil one! Whose son are you?
The devil’s? While you harbour his thoughts, you are his! Don’t kid yourself
you’re God’s son! He won’t tolerate such evils in the spirit. You’ve got to
change!
God has called
you to become like Him and your giving is the barometer of your conversion.
It’s the proof of your acceptance of His love. So:
What’s Your Giving Like?
Here are some of the areas
of giving in life:
1. Money.
2. Time.
3. Emotions.
4. Alms and actions.
5. Plans and ambitions;
hopes and dreams.
1. Money
Luke 6:38.
Give, and it will be given to you. This is a promise. God will do what He
says when you do what you should, from the heart.
Look at a
flower that He has created. It’s always giving out beauty. It reflects God’s
nature. They say that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. He wants you to be
like that flower, always giving out, making others glad. A giving person is
always beautiful like a flower.
Are you like
that? Or are you so selfish that you bring others grief?
Giving extends
much further than just money. Read Luke 6:27-37 to see how He wants you to
be transformed by His Spirit. He wants you to take on His spiritual image.
That passage explains what that image is like.
Its outgoing
love is wonderful. It doesn’t try to find fault with others because it’s
dissatisfied in life (Lk 6:37). True love does not try to put others down in
order to elevate oneself.
2. Time
1 Peter 1:17.
Your stay on earth is temporal. Don’t forget that! Most do. And it gets them
into spiritual trouble.
Phil 2:12.
You’ve got to work out your salvation. Ever had a work out in the gym? It’s
exhausting, isn’t it? Working out your salvation is not easy, either. It’s
much harder!
1 Pet 1:13-16.
How you use your time leads to, or detracts from, the object of your life –
holiness. What do you spend your time doing? Conforming to worldly
(physical) lusts / desires? Or working out what God wants?
There’s a lot
of hypocrisy around in believers who deceive themselves they are living out
a holy lifestyle. They are merely kidding themselves as they just go
satiating one lust after another.
Matt 6:19-20.
What do you spend your time laying up? Heavenly treasures / pursuits, or
earthly ones?
Mark 4:16-19.
Are you one of those worthless seeds sown on the stony ground who just grows
for a while, but gives up when you don’t get what you want?
Mark 4:20. Or
are you one of the few bearing fruit?
3. Emotions
Matt 7:1-2. The
pay-back in this area is most emphatic! This is a rebuke against a
fault-finding, critical attitude; a habitual one of wanting to
find fault with others, to put down. It’s based on an unforgiving approach.
Unforgiveness is a spiritual killer! Get rid of every speck of it that you
hold against anyone.
Mark 11:25,26.
What narks you? Do you get upset when God corrects you? Or when others do?
Do you let hurts fester? Do you let them develop into bitterness and
rancour? When another says something that hurts, do you dwell on it? Or do
you forgive and forget it, and just get on with your life? Don’t hold any
grudges, or they will hold you – in a spiritual prison where Satan will lock
you up so that you can’t be with God!
Matt 6:14,15.
This aspect is so vital that it’s repeated after the ‘Lord’s Prayer’. It
seems out of context following the verses immediately before it. But it’s
the one point Jesus emphasises more than any other! He’s warning you not to
let yourself get upset against another brother or sister because of what may
have happened.
4. Alms and Actions
Acts 9:39. Dorcas was raised from the dead. I wonder why? Because she was such a
sterling example of human labour to help others in need?!
Matt 25:31-46,
especially vs 41-43. Some Christians will be among the cursed, who will be
thrown out into the place of torment. Because they only care about
themselves. They don’t care about the hurt they cause others. They don’t
really care to do good. They’re just living for themselves all the time.
5. Hopes and Dreams
Heb 12:1,2.
Jesus, for the hope that was set before Him, endured the cross! If your hope
is in physical things, you won’t endure anything. You MUST have spiritual
hope (Col 3:1).
Phil 4:4. You
can rejoice in any situation when your hope is in God.
1 Pet 1:13.
Hope in Christ. Don’t hope in anything else.
Rom 12:1. The
complete giving of yourself to God – that must be your aim in life.
Have you done
that yet? What’s your giving like?
If You Try and Ignore One
Point...
To return to
the beginning again, to the dream. It stated that what I thought I no
longer owed in one place, I was held accountable for and had to repay in
another place. This is the crunch!
It is a warning
to anyone who is complacent about their sins, who thinks that because they
have ‘done their duty’ in one area (say, for instance, keeping the Sabbaths
and holy days) that they are absolved from responsibility in another area
(for example, not counteracting hostility, resentment, or unforgiveness).
You cannot afford to overlook something. Deliberately ignoring an aspect of
your conduct, when you know you should repent, is spiritual suicide.
Whoever sins in
one point is guilty of all (James
2:10).
God is saying
that the person who does this – who ignores a sin that they know they should
deal with – will lose everything they have already gained with God. There’s
no half way house. With God and His holiness, it’s all or nothing!
Which will it
be for you?
US Space Rocket
9th May 2002. M.
I saw a rocket on its
launch pad before blast-off into space. It was a very sleek, slender,
ultra-modern design. Then I saw it tilt and lean over to one side. Things
had gone badly wrong! Panic ensued. I saw the response among personnel.
Their reaction (figurative
imagery) to try and put things right was remarkable, almost superhuman, very
daring and even bordering on self-sacrificial. One man leaped high up, and
held onto a grappling iron on the wall. He held on till a mechanical
gantry or ladder could be swung around towards him.
Another man did an
acrobatic manoeuvre, like a back somersault to project him upwards onto an
iron girder in the midst of an elaborate structure. It was really amazing
how people responded to try and rescue the situation.
Meaning:
The dream could be a portent of disaster for the
US
space programme. Despite all the vaunted scientific achievement, technology
will seriously falter. People will go to great lengths to try and rescue the
situation, because there is a huge amount of personal and national pride
wrapped up in it.
The pride in achievement in
science and technology is immense. They are false gods. But God is about to
break that pride in human power! [A few weeks after this dream, there was a
serious set-back when a rocket launch failed.]
Stressful Situation Nearly
Kills MM
15th January 2002. H.
Stranger making himself as
part of the family
While we were asleep a man
came into the house and made himself comfortable in one of the bedrooms. In
the morning he came in and introduced himself and carried on as if he was
part of the family. He gave Malcolm a strong hug; he squeezed him so hard he
almost fainted. I was concerned about him.
Meaning:
This shows a real-life situation which lasted about a year. We were put in
the position where we had to support a man and allow him to stay with us.
This became a great burden and nearly destroyed the ministry. God watched
over us and performed miracles of provision.
In the end, this man is
meant to help us to keep going.
Barefoot In The Snow
19th January 2002. H.
Journey through snow barefooted
This was a dream of me
doing many things. I also had to set out on a journey through thick snow
barefooted.
Meaning:
The dream depicts great difficulties ahead of us. and our lack of physical
provision. Even if we don't have all we need we must move forward and get
the job done. We must complete the journey. The time is short.
Legal Problems Hinder
Progress
20th January 2002. H. 3
Dreams
1) Dream about a delay due
to obstacles
A lady lawyer came to me
and gave me a knife asking me to put it to metal and tell her the truth
about my husband's past work. After I told her the truth the problem was
resolved.
Meaning:
This dream is about some legal matters which are slowing down our progress.
2) Dream of a washing
machine. Malcolm told me to get a license for the washing machine and to get the
paperwork sorted out.
Meaning: This ministry is symbolised by the
washing machine; we help people clean their spiritual clothes. We thought
that we might need to register as a charity.
3) I was shown a small
board with black marks on it.
Meaning:
This shows the devil is using people that we know to attack the ministry and
our family.
[Note: 2005. A man
called David Sheridan told lies about us in court in 2004 to sully our
character. He also wrote to the Charity Commission telling them lies to
prevent us ever getting the charity status we are entitled to by law. He is
a slanderer.]
The Hand Grenade & Fat Cow
22nd January 2002. H. I
was given a hand grenade
I was given a hand grenade.
I had to find a place to make it secure.
I tried to hide it in the
orchard in one of the trees but still I felt it would be dangerous there.
I took it to the next house
and tried to find a secure place to hide it there as I didn't want to
endanger anyone's life.
In the orchard I was being
chased by cows that were curious. One of the cows was very fat looking.
Meaning:
The grenade represents literature containing God's truth which is as
dynamite.
The cows represent
churches.
The fat cow is a selfish
and self-seeking one. The churches don't care for God's truth. That is why
they are divided, and they like to stay that way.
Fight The Powers Of
Darkness
26th January 2002. H.
Working for God and
fighting the powers of darkness
Dream of fighting the
powers of darkness. Every time we do something for God the enemy is always
there to block it. It takes willpower and determination to push away the
dark forces and to move forward for God. Each person has to face the enemy
in their own personal journey! God helps us as we submit to Him.
Homosexuality
27th January 2002. H.
The graves are ready to
receive the dead. (Judgement against the spiritually immoral!) This dream was
of three dead bodies of homosexuals. There were three graves nearby.
Meaning:
The judgement of God will fall on those who choose immoral behaviour. Three
is a number meaning finality. Sin and pride are intertwined. These are the
sins of Sodom and Gomorrah (Ezek 16:49-50). God shows His power by punishing
those who flagrantly choose to sin against Him.
Clearing Up Spiritual Mess
29th January 2002. H.
Cleaning up mess caused by
others
A man that we know was
standing nearby.
Meaning:
It takes a lot of effort to clear up problems and the spiritual mess that
people cause.
Talking To Prince William
1st February 2002. H.
Talking with Prince William
I met Prince William and he
was friendly. I was trying to give him some spiritual guidance, helping him
to understand certain aspects of life and the future ahead of him.
Nuisances
3rd February 2002. H.
Leaking ceiling
Malcolm gave me a back
massage but didn't have time to finish it. When I got up, the ceiling was
leaking.
Meaning:
Malcolm will be busy dealing with emergencies and there will be things that
will be unpleasant to deal with. The leaking ceiling is symbolic of
nuisances and difficulties. They are caused through the devil, but God works
through many circumstances. We have to forgo what we want.
A Caribbean Outreach
5th February 2002. H.
Reaching out to the
Caribbean
Dream of taking pieces of
food and throwing them into the area of the Caribbean, reaching out there.
Meaning:
God is showing us we will send literature into the
Caribbean area and there will be many people who need spiritual food. God is
preparing for the revival in that area.
Challenging People's
Deceptions
8th February 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Deception in the
churches
As I was meditating about
people being deceived in the churches I saw people's faces covered with bees
(representing demons that cause deception). As one person's eyes were opened
others turned on that person. A woman (representing the Church) became
hostile, and as the dream developed, some people's faces turned into those
of pigs. (Similar to dream of 16th Feb.)
Meaning:
Those who won't accept new truth turn nasty.
2) Helping a small group
I met with a small group of
people but I felt I had nothing in common with them. One of them showed
kindness to me by giving me a chocolate drink. Another lady was sleeping in
an armchair, and she was covered with strange objects that were glued to her
(representing spiritual teachings). I tried to help them to move on to a
better place with more comfort.
Meaning:
It is hard for people to separate themselves from the doctrinal delusions
they have become used to.
Reaching The Far East
11th February 2002. H.
Eating in a Far-Eastern country
I was transported into a
Far-Eastern country. I was given local food to eat with a kitchen utensil.
Meaning:
God is showing us that we are going to reach those countries with God's
truth.
People Used By The Devil
Oppose The Move Of God
16th February 2002. H.
Demonic control over people and division in the Church
I saw a break-up or a
division in a group of people. After that the boundaries were reinforced and
put in place (representing demonic control). When a few want to see the
light and want to move on spiritually, others who are blind choose to shut
out those who are stirred up by God. (Similar meaning to dream of 8th Feb.)
In Bed, High Up
19th February 2002. H.
In bed on a platform
I was on a double bed which
was raised up on a platform. I joked with someone that there was some room
for someone else in the bed with me!
Meaning:
High profile coming through publicity. We don’t seek it for ourselves, and
we are willing to share it with others (if they could – but remember the
calling comes from God).
Look Out, Helena's Vacuum
Is About
21st February 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Plugging in the vacuum
There were several cables
plugged into a socket. I tried to plug in my vacuum cleaner but I couldn't
make it work. I had to unplug the other cables in order to get the vacuum
cleaner plugged in properly.
Meaning:
‘Our’ teachings are meant to clean up the Church. But several things prevent
that occurring.
Police Want A Statement
2) Police visit.
I had to make a statement to the police.
Meaning:
We expect a visit from the police. God will use the situation to give them a
witness. All sorts of people find fault with us, but we are innocent of
their false charges.
Richard Madeley & Judy
Finnigan
24th February 2002. H.
Near Richard and Judy's house
I was near Richard and
Judy's house in London,
as if I had a reason to be there.
Meaning:
God will put us in the public eye to give the gospel public exposure. The
nation will hear the message. Miracles will bring glory to God. The rich and
famous will learn, too. (Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan are well-known TV
presenters in the UK.)
Changing The Chair Legs
7th March 2002. H. 3
Dreams
1) Changing legs of chairs
Dream of changing the legs
on our chairs; there was urgency in the air.
Meaning:
There are changes coming to our everyday life, which will become more
hectic. The dream probably also indicates that our support is going to
change. New people will support us.
Dreadful Lust In Society
2) I was given a disturbing
picture of lewdness and lust
The society we live in is
headed for the gutter and moral cesspit, where immorality is the norm.
Pornography leads to sexual perversion and promiscuity. It’s getting worse!!
[Since this dream was given, the downward spiral has accelerated.]
Advancing
3) I was travelling
on the main road with my feet on the ground. The traffic on both sides got
out of the way. As I was able to concentrate I was able to speed up.
Meaning:
We will be able to make progress soon. Reassurance after the long series of
difficulties that have held up progress in this work.
The Beckhams
9th March 2002. H. David
& Victoria Beckham
I was giving them some
literature to help them to understand the future. Victoria was being
promiscuous and I said to her, "Save it for your husband!"
Growth & Moving Ahead
18th March 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Developments.
Dream of developing a new relationship with someone.
Meaning:
Spiritually there will be a new beginning, more growth for the Church and
power from God to witness to the world.
2) Making preparations to
move forward. I was very busy doing many things, dealing with new
situations and getting things sorted and helping to move things forward.
Having A Think
19th March 2002. H.
Shocked to find our friend back
I was trying to keep my
head down so not to be visible through the windows. I went into a large room
and saw our friend there. I was shocked and I asked Malcolm what he was
doing there. Malcolm said, "He is having a think."
Meaning:
This shows in advance the circumstances in his life will change, and how he
will need to rethink his priorities in life, putting the spiritual things of
God first.
Arrogant Approach Of
Police
23rd March 2002. H. A
teacher giving orders
A man who presented himself
as a teacher came into our home telling me we would have to make changes. He
thought he had the authority to give us orders. I responded by asking what
changes we would need to make, but he couldn't tell me!
Meaning:
This is the authoritative and proud attitude of people who use power to
abuse others. Many of those who hold positions of power are not qualified to
lead because of their lack of spirituality and right morality.
Miss Jackson (Deceased)
Visits Us
1st April 2002. H. Miss
Jackson visiting
Miss Jackson arrived and we
were sorting out her house. I was trying to make sure that her heating
system was in order.
Wading Through Deep Water
4th April 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Wading.
I was wading through deep water.
Meaning:
God's power will be released with miracles!
2) Pulled out of car.
I was sitting in a car and a huge arm pulled me out. I was concerned about
my clothing.
Meaning:
We are going to be thrown into a situation which will be outside of our
control. God is in charge and He directs the events, He prepares us for what
we have to face.
MM Literature To Adorn Your
Life
7th April 2002. H.
Choosing dresses for somebody
I was sorting out some
dresses. I picked a few specific ones for somebody.
Meaning:
The dresses represent the spiritual clothing. The dream accompanied sending
out of MM literature to a person known to us who went away from God.
Self-Will
10th April 2002. H.
Person doing their own thing
Dream of a house. One
person kept coming to stay the night, but during the day he did his own
thing.
Meaning:
This represents a person who used our ministry for selfish reasons (as bed
for the night) while they lived their life selfishly and as in the world.
The Church Getting Dressed
11th April 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) The nakedness of the
Church
Dream of a woman using a
small garment to try and cover her nakedness. The garment was too small to
cover her front, while her back was completely naked. This caused her
embarrassment.
Meaning: This shows her spirituality as very shallow,
and the woman reflects the Church today. The little truth the Church has
doesn't cover her nakedness.
The next scene of the dream
showed the woman wearing a pinafore inside out.
Meaning: This shows
the Church receiving more teaching and truth, but she still has some things
reversed.
Eventually the woman is
able to put on a dress as she should wear it.
Meaning: The Church has
to accept the whole teaching from the Bible and put on the garments of
righteousness to prepare for the return of Christ.
2) Disorganised house
The house needed to be
reorganised and there was a pit in the middle of the room which had to be
covered. The people had to be shown how to use the house.
Meaning:
The Church needs help to apply new truth to daily living and worship.
Church, To Get Rid Of
Old Ways
13th April 2002. H.
Man's suit on ground
I saw a men's suit lying on
the ground. I picked it up and put it away. [A man is often used as a symbol
of church leaders.]
Meaning:
The suit represents old ways of doing things like worship (Ps. 51). Prepare
the way for God; you have to change your ways so God can use you.
God Describes Articles Of
Faith
20th April 2002. H.
Enterprising woman making
Salad Cream
There was a woman shredding
lots of vegetables to make it into Heinz Salad Cream. This lady was
resourceful, busy, enterprising, and working hard to achieve the end result
(sounds like Helena!).
Meaning:
The woman represents those used by God, and the vegetables are the spiritual
food which needs to be put together and made available to others. [At this
time we were compiling articles into volumes entitled Articles of Faith.
These five books add flavour and spice to Christian life.]
Articles Of Faith
Each volume contains about
30 or more articles on a wide range of biblical topics and spiritual issues
to build up the body of Christ. They were written with the guidance of the
Holy Spirit from Sept 1992 to Jan 2000 and first published in our then
regular journal Awake! Awake!
Clearly there is a need for
these to be produced or God would not have given the dream above. At that
time, we didn't have money to print, but we went ahead in faith (see dream
of 5th July 2001 on p 80 about going through the red light). When the dream
was written, Volume 1 was at the printers, although we didn’t have the
finance to pay for it. Later, God moved someone to pay the bill of thousands
outright! Praise God!
Attacked By Judases
24th April 2002. H.
Attack
Dream of someone trying to
attack us and find fault with us. A person whom we have helped defended us.
Meaning:
There will be those who
attack us but we need to be defended by those who are willing to give us
support.
Help & Support
25th April 2002. H.
Receiving a precious stone
I received a precious stone
through a catalogue and this stone represented wealth. I had to do something
with a scratch- card to receive the benefit from this stone.
Meaning:
God is showing us that the provision for the ministry will arrive! (When
people see that what we promote is Truth.) The scratch card depicts people's
need to scratch out whatever they must in their lives to get to the hidden
truth of God, which is what the purpose of life all revolves around.
28th April 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Receiving help and
support
We were busy preparing a
church building for people to meet and to worship God. Someone was helping
me with fixing something and he gave me some money but I said he could keep
it. [We don't seek money; that's not our motive!]
Meaning:
This shows that we will receive help and support from someone who is helpful
and generous.
We Need To Organise Things
First
2) Driving along with loose
papers
We were driving our vehicle
along a busy motorway. There were loose papers at the back of the car that
were being blown around so we had to stop to secure them.
Meaning:
The papers represent literature which is being prepared for publications. We
are not quite ready yet to go on the main road. Some more publications are
to be written and things need organising (like these dreams in this volume).
Opposition & Persecution
1st May 2002. H. 3
Dreams
1) Opposition and
persecution
We were shown to come out
of our secret place into the open to face opposition and persecution.
Meaning:
There is a spiritual war going on. When we come out into the open, terrific
opposition will erupt against the truth.
Church Swimming Pool Upside
Down
2) Upside down empty
swimming pool
There was a huge swimming
pool which was turned upside down and was without water.
Meaning:
Swimming is refreshing on hot days. But society does not provide a spiritual
cleansing and refreshing facility. The Church has failed to provide this in
our society. Her teach- ings are upside down, so the receptacle doesn’t hold
water.
The Queen's Position
3) The Queen as a monument
The queen was sitting on
the side, inactive, as if she was a monument.
Meaning: The queen has
no spiritual influence over the people. Ideally, she should have, because
she is a moral figurehead to the nation.
God's Stream Flows To The
Right
18th May 2002. M. 3 dreams
1)
The route of God’s river, as seen from above. I was shown the main
stream, now turning to the right, and where we joined it, also by flowing to
the right. The stream continued and I wanted to see how this went on but I
was not able to see how it flowed after that.
Meaning:
The outpouring of the Spirit, bringing new revelation, reforming the Church.
This reformation is carried in the stream as it turns towards the right,
which represents conservatism – the restoration of the Sabbath and holy days
of God.
Derek Prince
2)
Derek Prince
Someone was talking about
him and his ministry. I said, “But he’s dead now.” They replied, “No, he’s
not.” [People don't want to accept that his ministry is over and that his
teachings are in need of reformation.] Other things were mentioned in the
dream. It seemed to imply that Derek Prince was dead and his ministry over.
Jesus previously told him
that he would live to see the revival in these islands. I believe he doesn’t
have long to live; and the revival is nearly upon us. [He died a short while
later.]
3)
This dream was also concerning Derek Prince Ministries. There was a
leaking garage roof. I went to inspect it and see if it could be repaired.
It was concrete! I put a bucket under the hole to catch the water, but it
poured in quite fast.
Then the hole opened up
even more and I noticed that a drain grille had been installed in the roof
in the first place and concreted around. (How crazy!!) It had managed to
survive this long, but it now needed radical attention. I wondered how this
roof could be repaired. It would have been very difficult to achieve!
Meaning:
This emphasises how there is something fundamentally wrong with the
teaching of DPM. Their covering (roof) is wrongly constructed, because they
reject the validity of the fourth commandment as God originally delivered
it, nor do they observe the festivals of God, despite various references in
the NT to their observance by the apostolic Church.
Note:
More about Derek Prince and the ministry he founded is written in Church
Leaders Shut The Door On Jesus! and in He Must Increase, But I Must
Decrease (leaflets available from MM).
The Insolence Of The
Wayward
19th May 2002. Pentecost.
M. 2 dreams
1) God’s Discipline
Exx (a former friend) came
here looking for help, but not looking for me or Helena; presumably looking
for Richard or for some physical help. I looked through the window and saw
his car in the driveway. I had wanted to get in touch with him to ask him
about the money he owed me, so I was glad to take this opportunity to
confront him about his failure to come back to me on what he owed. The
interchange was not that cordial.
Then I began to prophesy to
him (say things to him, inspired by the Spirit), correcting him. I would
have liked to have remembered the exact words which God inspired, because
they were so fitting in the dream. There were two ‘outbursts’ of them.
As I was talking to Xxx,
his two other brothers were present. One interrupted me, ignoring what I was
saying. I slapped him (not hard) on the face (to get his attention), and
said “Shut up and listen.” Then the other brother did the same thing. I
mildly slapped him as well, and said, “Shut up and listen”, too. Then I woke
up. The time was 5.25 am. (I went back to sleep and woke up later, to record
this.)
I remembered Isaiah 5:25,
one of 5 references to God’s correction of His people. (Others are Is 9:12;
9:17; 9:21; and 10:4.) “For all this His anger is not turned away, His hand
is still upraised” in judgement.
Then I ‘happened’ to read
this also: “This ability to receive help – allowing another’s spirit to
touch our spirit [ie, to be corrected] – is proof that one is broken.
Cleverness does not make it hard to be helped; rather, it is evidence that
the outer shell is harder than others. In the Lord’s mercy, a clever person
must be drastically dealt with, broken many times and in many ways until one
day he is able to receive the Supply of the whole Church” (Watchman Nee,
The Release of the Spirit, p 98).
The slaps in the dream
convey how God has to get people’s attention, and that involves some
discipline which may even seem harsh.
2)
The rudeness and selfishness of some learned people in society
The place was like a museum
or other exalted place of learning. I was outside with Helena. There was no
one else around, so I had a leak against their wall. It brought out all the
contours of the individual stones in the wall and highlighted their
definition. [An insult! How God views the things that are highly esteemed by
society: they’re rubbish to Him!]
Then a man came along. He
didn’t come to see me to learn, but to try and prove his superiority in
knowledge, or impress me with his vaunted intelligence. He asked me a
question about why there is a difference in time between the hand and the
foot. He didn’t think I would know why, but I told him the correct answer
straight off. It was because of the different frequencies of the two parts,
or something like that. It was surreal.
He continued to talk with
me, not because he cared about me or wanted to give me something of value,
but because he wanted to elevate himself. The time got to five minutes to
the hour. He was leaving at the hour to go home after his day’s work.
Without any cordiality or politeness, at 5 sharp, he simply shut the door in
my face and went off. It was quite rude and unfeeling, but that was the way
he was – selfish, self-centred. He only used me for what he wanted.
Hectically Busy During The
Revival!
26th May 2002. M. 4 dreams
1) No time for ourselves.
It was daytime. The sun was shining. Helena and I were looking for a quiet
place where we could be together alone, but we couldn’t find it.
Meaning:
This will make more sense when you read the dreams about the outpouring of
the Spirit and publicity coming.
Our Desperate Lack Of Funds
2)
Lack of money for ourselves
I needed 4 or 5 pounds to
buy myself a pair of socks and pants, but I didn’t have it. (How we have
emptied ourselves of all we have, so that we have had to go without.) I
asked someone who was nearby if he could lend it to me. It was only a small
amount of money, but he was begrudging at first. Then, as time progressed
(presumably as he got used to giving, and realised that I was really in
need, and not merely asking to get something for myself), he gave willingly.
He gave me more than I asked for. He put a number of pound coins in my hand;
about eight or ten of them. Even though I offered to give him back the extra
ones, he didn’t want them back. (The meaning of this part of the dream may
be that once people learn to be giving, instead of keeping everything for
themselves, they find out that it doesn’t hurt them and they actually enjoy
it.)
The Kenyan Outreach Costs A
Fortune
3) The ‘bargain’ shed that
wasn’t a bargain
I was offered a garden shed
that was a real bargain – or so I was told. So, I went for it without
hesitation. It would be a useful addition to the other shed I already had.
It was the same as that in size. But I had to do everything myself – collect
it, transport it, and erect it. It was in sections, as sheds are when you
buy them. But the roof section had a corner broken. The broken bit was
fairly large and was a bit rotten which is why it had broken. I could only
shrug it off and ignore it, because there was nothing I could do about that
now. The damage was done. I said that I would put a bit of polythene over it
to cover it up.
The shed cost £486. Later,
I realised that it wasn’t a bargain at all. (The first shed had only cost me
£286.) What was more, there was no roofing felt with it. (New sheds come
with roofing felt supplied. This one didn’t!) The ‘bargain’ was no bargain
at all. Instead of being useful to us, it drained us of money that we could
have better used elsewhere.
Meaning:
An allegory of ‘our’ outreach in Africa (not Ethiopia, but other countries).
The shed which cost £486:
486 = 6 x 9 x 9, or
486 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 9,
etc.
The numbers have
significance. They can mean any of the following:
6 = 2 x 3.
2 = certainty. 3 =
finality.
6 = evil in people.
9 = spiritual gifts, and
/or judgement.
One meaning is that the
purpose of our outreach in Africa has been to try to help these people
accept more of God’s Spirit so that He can lead them with spiritual gifts.
But that the human weaknesses and failings have allowed evil things to
occur, wasting some of the money, and so minimising what God could do. This
has brought judgement upon the ones who have misused this privilege.
The shed which cost £286:
286 = 2 x 11 x 13.
2 = certainty (indicating
God’s involvement).
11 = writings inspired by
God.
13 = Satan.
Meaning
of the numbers in this context: Satan always attacks whatever God is doing.
So, the presence of the number 13 (which often, but not always, identifies
Satan) shows that he has been trying to undermine what God has been doing
through the writings (11) which He has had us produce.
The first shed (£286)
illustrates how things began with us – economically. The cost was relatively
low. God worked by inspiring the written materials.
But Satan tried to prevent
them going out, illustrated by the second shed, in getting others with evil
motives (6) to steal money, reducing the effectiveness of our outreach,
which was to bring spiritual enlightenment and gifts (9) to others. That
permission of human evil (6) brings judgement (9) upon those who are
responsible.
How The Devil Opposes God's
Work
If you wonder how human
evil has prevented God's purposes being fulfilled for this Work, let me
explain:
For years, as we have
written the spiritual material to take God’s Truth to others, we have had
totally insufficient physical support (because people are innately selfish).
We have had spiritual support. God never fails to provide that! But the
physical arm has been weak.
Most of the time, finance
has had to come from within our own family, to make this venture possible.
Up until 2001 that ‘internal income’ barely provided the funding for
publishing costs and office expenditure. The small amounts in contributions
from others were so meagre that they only went part way towards postage
costs. As for paying wages to those of us who work full time at the task...
well, that’s a joke! If Helena or I expected to be paid, we wouldn’t be
doing the job! We have worked for years without being paid, and now are
owing Zenya her wages for the past year [written 2002], so she effectively
works for nothing, too [she worked for MM gratis until 2004]. We are not
complaining, just explaining.
God has called us all to be
living sacrifices (Rom 12:1), following the example of Jesus. As you lay
down your life as a living sacrifice, God will replace it with His. This is
the simple principle behind the gospel. It’s simple in principle, but hard
to practice.
It’s much easier to reason,
“I really want that car, or that holiday (or anything else that YOU want
with your human desires). So, let me get that first, and then I can give to
God’s Work.”
That’s no good. God doesn’t
approve of that. He expects you to thank Him by your giving. He doesn’t want
your leftovers, nor even your seconds. He gave His firstborn
Son for you. He wants your FIRSTfruits, too. If you don’t give Him your
firstfruits, don’t be surprised that He leaves you to wander in spiritual
limbo and get in a mess. Your understanding and spiritual vision will
depart, and demons will gladly take God’s place in your life.
People don’t see how the
devil does his work. How does he get you to oppose God’s Work? Simply
through your physical desires. When he gets you to take care of them
before taking care of what is on God’s agenda, he’s achieved his aim in
damaging what God intended, and thwarting His Work.
You’ve got to give up
giving in to your selfish passions or whims. You’ve got to put God and His
Work first, before you do what you want for yourself. Then,
God will give to you. That was the message of the prophet Haggai. It was
recorded for all subsequent generations to learn the same lesson.
No One Wants To Get
Involved
4) No one wants to join
with us
I was waiting for others to
join me and have a game of football. But no one came. No one wanted to get
involved with us.
There was a new room or
building. It was small and painted white on the inside. (This represents our
ministry, spiritually.) But because it was new, things needed doing and no
one was there to do them. The walls were dripping wet and needed wiping
down.
30th May 2002. M. 2 dreams
1) Personal dream for
financial advice
Kassahun's Work In
Ethiopia
2)
Kassahun was riding a moped with two other people on it. He was also
carrying a set of traffic lights [he is a prophet]. A woman traffic warden
or policewoman [government official?] saw him and wanted to arrest him and
charge him. But K was away, and I don’t think she was able to catch up with
him.
Meaning:
A pictorial analogy of Kassahun's outreach. In going to other places to take
God's truths he has to struggle because circumstances are very difficult.
State officialdom is against him, but God will protect him and make a way
for him to escape their persecution. He has God's right of way (the lights).
Cutting Across The
Mainstream
9th June 2002. M. 2 dreams
1) Near collision with
another ministry
We were in our car, wanting
to come out onto a main road [depicts coming into a situation where we are a
recognisable ministry to others – people tend to only recognise ministries
of substantial size]. It was a dual carriageway and traffic was coming from
both directions. Someone else was driving [Jesus drives this ministry] and I
was in the back seat on the right.
We wanted to come onto this
main road and go to the right, so we had to cut across the two lanes. When
the appropriate moment came we pulled out.
As we did so, a silver
Honda like the one we drive (but with a different number plate) [this
depicts a very similar ministry that teaches the truths about God's
Sabbaths], came round the corner fast and had to brake suddenly, as did
another car behind that one. Fortunately, they didn’t collide and the Honda
just missed the back of our car by inches. It was a close shave!
Meaning:
This is a pictorial illustration of how another ministry, which also teaches
about the Sabbath (similar car), had a ‘run-in’ with us over some prophetic
issues.
C D who runs that ministry
does not accept various prophecies we have been given, nor does he accept
that I (MBH) am a prophet, despite various revelations given to others, some
of which are recorded in What God Said About MM and Revelations
From God About MM (two small leaflets).
The dual carriageway
represents how he is merely travelling down the same route that most go –
evangelising the way the majority does – by human means.
In contrast, we rely upon
the Spirit, so I crossed his path, and he will have to pull up sharp or have
a spiritual smash up.
Afraid To Come Near Us
2)
Fxxxxxx Bxxxxx came towards us in his Mercedes. Although he was coming
towards us, he parked it a long way away, in a road lined with trees. It was
very pleasant there, leafy and shady. He didn’t want to get too close.
Meaning:
This person is afraid to get too close to us. He doesn’t want to get in a
position that could be ‘uncomfortable’ by having to face the mistakes of the
past, or face us to do with what transpired in the past. So he stays where
things are not too confrontational. He takes the easy way out.
Hypocritical Facade Of Many
People
11th June 2002. M.
Hypocritical facade; sham
pleasantries
An audience of several
hundred people were gathered together in ‘our place’ and Helena walked up to
give a talk on something. She began, and wrote on the blackboard the name
“Bach”, the originator of the Bach Flower Remedies. She wrote his name in
brackets, which probably means that he was incidental to what she was
talking about.
I was sitting at the back,
when a man just in front of me started objecting vociferously. I couldn’t
hear what he was saying, but Helena answered him back and he was a bit put
out. So I said to him kindly, “We have a book about that which you can read
to learn about such things, if you would like to.”
But he replied, smiling,
“I’m not that sort of person.” (Many people put on a front of being nice,
smiling, but their hearts are cold and their minds are closed. They prefer
to be ruled by prejudices than to learn new things.)
Trying To Economise
& Be Enterprising
16th June 2002. M.
Making best use of our assets
There was a false floor in
our cellar made out of pallets. It was at about six foot high, dividing the
height of the cellar into two. I looked underneath and thought to myself
that we could utilise the space below it, but then thought again, “No, I
don’t think so.”
Meaning:
We’re always thinking of ways to economise.
People Find Fault With Us
17th June 2002. M. Our
neighbour’s heating system or boiler got damaged somehow as a result of us.
We had to pay him compensation.
Meaning:
Probably means that worldly people and unconverted church folks will find
fault with us, persecute us, and try to use whatever means they can to
inflict their selfish will against us.
Recognise When People Need
Encouragement
30th June 2002. M. Cxxxxxx
Dxxxxxx
A few days before this
dream this person came to my mind and I mentioned to Helena about him. Then
this dream came about him. In the dream, he was re-doing a ceiling for us.
It was as if he was helping out at our new ministry premises.
He was very particular and
thought that he should even re-do it with plasterboard, so went off to get
that. It wasn’t really necessary, but he was so fastidious that he felt he
had to do that. Someone else might have corrected him, but he needed
encouragement more than correction.
So I told them, “Leave him
alone, he’s doing OK.” His heart was right, even though the result was not
what was ideal.
Meaning:
The dream was to convey how some people need encouragement more than
anything else, even when it doesn’t look like it. They are the way they are
because of their upbringing, and their background, etc., and when a person’s
heart is really good, it would dampen their spirit to be told off for the
way they do something physical, like their job or the decisions they make in
life.
One More Person Who Will Be
Saved
1st July 2002. M. Txxxy. (A
person we know.)
The day before this dream I
had to write a letter to Xxxxy. The dream portrayed his, and Richard’s,
disrespect towards me and towards God through their unbelief and mockery. In
the second part of the dream, I gave him a really big kiss.
Meaning:
The kiss represents affection or love shown to the person. God is conveying
that, although he presently does not believe in God, he will respond to
affection that God will show him through us in the future. I believe the
dream shows that he will be saved. Wonderful!
Starting Up My Chain Saw
2nd July 2002. M. My
chain saw
I was starting up my chain
saw. P H was in the back- ground, playing his bass guitar. But the noise
from my chain saw drowned out that coming from P H’s guitar.
Meaning:
P H has disbelieved all our prophetic stuff from God and turned away from
God to seek his own pleasure. In effect, he’s been playing around,
entertaining himself.
Our chain saw depicts the
destructive work we are about to do in the Church, demolishing strongholds,
and getting the attention of those who should have noticed the truth we
promote, before.
Helpful People Will Come
3rd July 2002. M. 2 dreams
1)
Someone wanted to help us out. They ran a car hire firm called “Go Cars” and
offered us the use of one of their hire cars.
2)
Similarly, another person wanted to give us some money.
Meaning:
Helpful people are going to come along. Praise God.
Bad Company Corrupts
Character
8th July 2002. M.
Charles Hunting and Richard
Charles Hunting was coming
here. He was curious to see what we were doing. Apparently, his visit was
planned for a Wednesday. Richard was pleased, but he didn’t tell us of his
plans or what he was scheming. He simply asked us where we would be on the
Wednesday in question. We were going to be out, which rather suited Richard.
Hunting came round when we were out and spent some time with Richard. He
even made Richard a cup of coffee, which rather pleased him.
Meaning:
Charles Hunting is a figure for those who have been bad influences on
Richard. Hunting was a false minister who tried to introduce subtle heresies
into church teaching about the Sabbath (back in the mid 70’s). He represents
how Satan has got to R via others. False ministers and people used by Satan
do not always appear evil in their presence. Hunting was charming,
charismatic, capable, persuasive, and appealing. He was an attractive
personality. But what was in his heart, hidden, was highly damaging and
seductive. This is how R has been influenced by his ‘friends’. Never
underestimate the influence ‘friends’ can have on your spirituality!
How Willing We Have Been
But How Unreceptive Others
Were
9th July 2002. M. R M
and the cooker
Ron needed a new cooker. I
told him that we had one. I was eager to give it to him, and tried to
persuade him to let me give it to him. We had had it from new, but it was
spare. It was being stored in our shed. It took quite a bit of persuasion to
encourage him to take it. When finally he seemed willing to accept it, I
went to get it.
I found that the oven door
had gone rusty in places through storage and not being used. [His fault for
not pursuing the truth we possessed much earlier. He had access to it, but
turned away from us.] There were large patches of rust where the paint had
peeled off.
Restoring it was not a
simple matter of painting the patches. To do the job properly, the paint on
the door would have to be stripped down to bare metal. I was willing to do
that for him, sanding it down. I don’t know what the outcome of that was.
The dream then switched to
a long conversation between us. He was sceptical to begin with, but was very
edified afterwards, so much so that he asked me to call him by phone every
Thursday evening to repeat the process of edification.
Meaning:
What a lot of work these people are! It takes a load of effort to get them
delivered!
11th July 2002. M. 2
dreams
1)
Struggles and Opposition
None of the specific features of this dream were remembered, but it was a long one about
struggling in the face of seemingly endless opposition.
2) David G gave me £109.
Meaning:
Psalm 109 is about the vindication of the righteous and God’s judgement
falling on those who have opposed them. The righteous, who have been falsely
accused, will finally be cleared and see God’s justice meted out.
David G will see us
vindicated, and probably will give us a donation as a token of his agreement
with what we have stood up for. It will have taken more than 14 years!
The Unsung Heroes Of The
Faith
15th July 2002. M. The
ones through whom God works
I met and talked with a
man who had been imprisoned for his faith. He was not handsome and was
nothing special to look at. There was nothing really to endear you to him,
he was so ‘ordinary’. He was almost scruffy, because he owned so little,
physically. But when he told me his story it was amazing! He casually joked
about it. But he had been imprisoned and had not eaten for 2000 days!
What?!!! I was absolutely astonished!
This was a story of the
exploits of the Holy Spirit, not of a mere mortal. But, it was something
known to him and not to others, because he had been locked away out of
sight.
Meaning:
When God moves, He often does so unnoticed by most. His workings among men
(and women) are miraculous, if we are open to them, but they can be unseen
in the everyday happenings of life. God will work the most unexpected
miracles in the circumstances of life, without necessarily changing those
circumstances. He helps us go through them with His miraculous power and
inner fortitude.
Bribery & Corruption In
Society
20th July 2002. The
Bribe
In this dream a property
was up for sale. It was run down and ramshackle, but there was a lot of land
around it. It may have been an old railway goods yard. The ground was
covered in large gravel with weeds growing in it. This sizeable plot sold
for only £300,000. It went very cheaply.
Some people grumbled about
this scandal: “Why did it not fetch more? That was far too cheap! Look at
all the land that was with it. There were acres of space!”
Then, in the next scene, I
saw an official from the local Planning Department with the purchaser. He
said to him, “That will be £120,000, please.”
Furtively, the purchaser
passed over a white envelope with the cash in it to the planning officer. It
must have been a bribe.
Meaning:
Our society is now riddled with bribery and corruption, because most people
don’t uphold or live by the law of God. The Labour minister John Prescott
has just announced that there will be much more land made available for
housing development to ease the acute shortages. ‘Brownfield’ sites such as
that in the dream are top of the list to get planning permission for
large-scale development. That substantially increases their value, so greed
immediately kicks in, and brings with it bribery and corruption. God is
forewarning that there will be more of it along with the new government
initiative. Why? Because our society has forgotten or rejected the laws of
God which regulate fairness and honesty.
The government never
promotes morality based on God’s laws. It never promotes God, nor His laws,
so it is beset with troubles, scandals and sleaze. Rather than dealing with
the causes of crime and corruption – which stem from breaking God’s law,
(sin; 1 Jn 3:4) – it tries to curtail it by treating the effects.
Palliatives and appeasement are no substitute for prevention by promoting
biblical righteousness.
Why Jesus Had To Die For
You & Me
21st July 2002. M.
Restoring ‘the Law’
I was erecting a wooden
cross, that looked so authentic. It was horrific to see it and realise that
Jesus had to die on it!
I was putting it up in a
very restricted space. One of the horizontal arms had collapsed and I had to
put it up again. It was the one on the right of it. What I realised I had to
do was to make people aware of the reality of the cross. I was making it
real to them. That was the purpose of putting up this life-like replica of
it.
Meaning:
There are two ‘arms’ to the Church’s teaching.
On the left is the liberal
wing, on the right is the conservative. One symbolises grace, the other
represents law.
The responsibility we have
to obey God’s law is not properly understood in most of the Church, hence
that arm has ‘dropped’ down. It is not upheld by most Christians. Our job is
to make people realise why Jesus had to die – because everyone has broken
His law. Each and every infraction of God’s law requires the death penalty.
Most Christians don’t realise this.
So, the purpose of Christ’s
awful death FOR THEM is not fully appreciated. Most just think of His death
and the reason for it as a philosophy, not as a reality.
To be blunt: Jesus died
BECAUSE YOU BROKE HIS LAW – the law of the 10 commandments.
Much More Rain Coming!
22nd July 2002. M. More
rain for
Britain!
I saw some guys preparing
to seal a roof with hot bitumen. I saw their bitumen boiler and went to have
a closer look at it.
I wondered how they were
going to get the job done because the weather prospects were not good. It
looked as though it was about to rain.
Meaning:
Times are difficult and getting more so. More rain is on the way for
Britain!
Tony Blair
23rd July 2002. M. Tony
Blair was very confident or cocky. He tried a new ‘trick’ or gimmick.
But he was in danger of getting his hand burned.
Meaning:
A character synopsis of Tony Blair, the Prime Minister. The motivation for
some of his decisions or actions is not moral, but effectual – for
appearance’ sake or effect. But, when decisions are not based on true values
– God’s morality – the results are not good. He will get his hand ‘burned’.
Miraculous Financial
Deliverance
23rd July. M. God saves
us from disaster
Another dream was about the
road with the large hole in it that our van was in danger of falling into.
Beneath the road was a hollow chasm, with a 15 foot drop to the floor. If
the van had fallen in, it would have been catastrophe. Later, I came back
and looked at the hole and it was now smaller.
Meaning:
About our debts. God delivers.
Hungry For The Meat We
Offer
27th July 2002. M. The
spiritual food is really good here!
I saw beefburgers on brown
bread or toast, being served. People were coming from far and wide to
collect them. Some drove all the way from Scotland to get them! I thought
they were crazy! In the physical it made no sense to come and collect a
burger, but these represented the meat of the Word of God which we were
offering, and these people were that hungry for God’s truths!
Helena had a dream also,
which showed that former WCG friends, who are now in CoGs, will thank us and
be grateful for the deliverance they will receive beginning with the Mind
of God series of booklets. (The dream was given during the week these
were being revised and prepared for reprinting.)
Iraq
War Confirmed Beforehand
28th July 2002. M.
Iraq
and the ‘alliance’ between America and Britain
In this dream, four men
were in a car. It must have been in America; the car was left hand drive.
Tony Blair was on the left in the back seat; someone was to his right, but I
didn’t know who that was. George Bush was in the front right hand seat
(passenger seat), and the driver was a US air force pilot who had just
successfully completed an important mission. George Bush was elated and was
congratulating the pilot on his mission accomplished. I was not shown where
this mission was, but it might represent the first assault on Iraq, which
may be in the planning stages at the moment.
Positive Indicators Of
Expansion
4th August 2002. M. Two
dreams
1)
We took delivery of our new car. (Ministry expansion.)
2)
I picked up an egg which a hen had laid under our
leyland hedge on some straw. Then I noticed another hen somewhere else had just
laid another egg and was walking away from it. I was eager to go and collect
that one as well. “Things are looking up,” I thought.
Meaning:
The eggs represent a small amounts of financial help donated to us by
others. (We sure need it!)
5th August 2002. M. A
real friend!
I struck it off with a
black haired friend (male). We got on really well. He was a new friend to me
and I was so glad to meet him. It seemed as though it was a workplace
situation, like a carpenter’s workshop.
Bad Traits Of Independence
7th August 2002. M.
Correction for someone
A fair-haired man, who was
a bit scruffy, was building a brick wall. He was working fairly fast,
building this structure, and was confident of his ability, because instead
of building up the corners first and running bricks in between to the line,
he just went ahead and laid the bricks freehand. [Cocky, self-confident, not
following the line that the Spirit lays out for us.]
I got the impression, too,
that he was not obedient to God, and was not careful about how he observed
the Sabbath.
Meaning:
I had reason to write to Marcus S in the
USA,
at the time this dream was given; it refers to him, as well as to others
with the same bad traits of independence.
Juggernaut Power Units
9th August 2002. M.
Juggernaut power unit
There was a juggernaut cab
(and engine) in our living room, and another one came and parked there, too.
Meaning:
A juggernaut cab is the engine and driver’s cab for an articulated lorry.
That symbolises the potential huge quantity of literature that this ministry
is going to send out, and for which we are getting ready.
The twinning up probably
depicts an outreach to another sector of the Church – the ‘Charismatic
Church’
– because it was given while I was revising the booklet Understanding The
Mind of God – A Message To The ‘Charismatic
Church’.
Wicked Prickly Person
10th August 2002. M. 2
Dreams
1)
‘Prickly’ ‘Christian’. In a very brief dream, I saw a large prickly
pear cactus (we have one in a pot) thrown down and smashed into bits.
Meaning:
This depicts a person from Poland who has been here who has rejected God’s
truth and is so self-willed! She was a thorn to Helena! The fate of the
wicked is to be destroyed, because God cannot mould them.
Our 'Logs' Are Being
Prepared
2)
Spiritual ‘logs’ getting prepared
I saw a tall pile of large
chopped logs [depicting MM's publications], piled up in the shape of the
Matterhorn. Beside it was another pile of smaller logs, cut from conifer
tree branches. This second pile was smaller, and fresher. Bits of green
foliage were still on them.
These logs were on the
other side of the road outside our home [represents going into the whole
world]. They spilled out onto the road somewhat, and I thought to myself
that they were likely to be an obstacle to drivers. Cars would have to slow
down to manoeuvre around them.
Meaning:
Logs are fuel for the fire. The fire of the Holy Spirit is fuelled by our
publications as the truth they contain is accepted in people’s lives. The
other imagery conveys the impact and repercussions of our ministry in the
future.
The 7th 'Mind Of God'
Booklet
11th August 2002. M.
Another Mind of God booklet
I had a dream that there
is another publication to be written yet in the MG series. It will bring the
number to 7.
Comment:
When the Mind of God series of booklets began in 1992, God prophesied
through a man who was with us at that time, that there would be seven of
them. For many years there were only six. Then, some weeks or months after
the above dream was given, Jim Bartholomew in the
USA
wrote to tell me that he had been given the title: it was to be A Message
To Catholics.
Understanding The Mind of
God – A Message To Catholics hadn't been thought about, let alone written in 2002. After
Jim was given the title, I set to in 2003 to follow the Spirit's prompts,
and the booklet was compiled, all except one last half page, which awaits
its completion after a miracle that God said to wait for.
What The World Offers Is
Worthless
13th August 2002. M.
What this world offers is worthless
Richard bought a caravan.
It was really grotty, and I was surprised that he had done so. It was
impetuous of him. At eye level, there was a seam inside, and it was obvious
that it was leaking water. I asked him how much he paid for it, and when he
said “£1600” I was horrified! It wasn’t worth £200.
Meaning:
What he has chosen in life is so worthless compared with what God offers.
(He has temporarily stepped back, but God knows how to turn some people
around.)
Walking On Water
14th August 2002. M.
Walking on water again!
Helena and I were walking
on water again. She went first, and I followed her.
Meaning:
The current state of the ministry, as we continue to get the publications
ready. It is like walking on water. Helena often leads the way spiritually,
because she has the intercessory gift that helps beat off demonic attacks
against us. I follow as I make specific decisions.
What CoG Ministers Need To
Read
21st August 2002. M.
A CoG minister who
drastically needs to revise his teaching
Fxxxx Nxxxx. This person’s
approach and teaching is ‘primitive’, God says. It needs modifying and
updating.
He needs 14 publications to
redress the lacks in his teaching: LAD, Lis, ISG, AA7-3, 3-7, 8-2, NDE, 10V,
MG4, GC, MG1, MG2, DV, PP; but he doesn’t want to know!
Someone's Death Foretold
21st August 2002. M. Zenya
came to tell me that R S died. This person will either die physically or
spiritually, or both.
Wrong Theology
31st August 2002. M. A C
Helena
threw out the washing machine belonging to this person (A C) whom we know,
but his wife was not happy about it. The washing machine represents AC's
wrong theology learned from a false minister (William Dankenbring).
A Cheat Defrauds Us
3rd September 2002. M.
I was planning to exchange
my van for a larger Landrover which belonged to another guy. I was hoping to
do this the following Sunday, but when the day arrived, he had already sold
it to someone else, so the exchange didn’t happen.
Meaning:
This was about David Sheridan, who defrauded me of money and part of the
value of a vehicle. He is wicked.
The Church Rejects 'Our'
Message
4th Sept 2002. M. The
Church Rejects ‘Our’ Message
The scene was a building
site. It was a real mess. An old property was being altered. It was
being underpinned, but the builder (not me, someone else) was doing it in
consecutive sections – not the proper way to go about it!
Waterproofing and other
tasks were also being carried out.
The builder was away for a
day and for some reason I was on the job for that day. I ordered a load of
lightweight blocks and a lorry load of soft sand (used in laying bricks and
blocks, and in plastering). The blocks arrived on a pick-up and trailer.
(The last two loads of booklets arrived to us from the printers by van and
trailer. I thought it was unusual to use a trailer, but it was a practical
means of transport).
The sand, however, arrived
before I managed to get to the site and because there was nowhere for the
driver to tip it, he went up the A41 towards Bicester and tipped it in a
layby, which meant we had to double-handle it, by transporting it from there
to the site. (This is what we will have to do with the publications, when we
get the new ministry premises.) However, when the builder came back the next
day, he said he didn’t need the sand or the blocks. He had enough of his
own.
Meaning:
Our publications are not wanted by the Church in its work of restoration.
That Evil Man Again
5th Sept 2002. M. D S
I was in a bungalow. It was
late and I was wanting to rest and sleep. I had already dozed off when David
Sheridan turned up. I just did not want to see him! He didn’t care about my
needs, however. The fact that I was in bed didn’t deter him from intruding
one bit. He started talking. Boy, can he talk! As he was going on and on, I
was leaning up against a doorway, in a state of semi-sleep. I hoped that he
would see that I wanted to be left alone, and go away, but he didn’t. He
just carried on.
When I realised that he was
not going to go away until he had got what he wanted, I pushed the door
behind me so it shut in his face, and went back to bed. At least I could get
some peace now!
Meaning:
This highlights this man’s acute selfishness, and thoughtless approach. He
doesn’t care about God’s Work that we are trying to do. The wicked don't
care about others or God's Work, only themselves.
God Sees Your Hidden Faults
9th Sept 2002. Feast of
Trumpets. M. The Hidden Faults
The Feast of Trumpets
symbolises Jesus’ return. The main purpose of Jesus’ invisible coming at
this time is to reveal aspects in our lives that we need to change.
In this dream, I saw a
page, as if it was from one of our publications. It was on the computer and
the text was highlighted. The size of the font (print or type) was 11 point.
But underneath the text, hidden, was a 12 point format in the document. This
only became visible at the end of each paragraph. It caused the bottom line
of the paragraph to be out of line with the rest of the wording. It took
some insight and a trained eye to see it.
Meaning:
God used something that I have had to look out for in setting out some of
our publications, as the basis of an analogy that has spiritual
significance.
There are certain hidden
things in our lives which God sees that are not quite right. They are not in
line with the rest of what He is writing on our hearts. He is trying to
highlight these things. They need adjustment to bring them into line with
His perfect Word.
When the dream was
explained in the meeting, one person asked: “If these faults are hidden,
then how can we know about them and know what they are?” The answer is: By
the Spirit of God. The only way is for the Spirit to enlighten each person
individually.
[We were reading the
scripture in Matthew 24 about Jesus’ coming – to two people in identical
circumstances – which is sudden and which causes one to be taken and the
other left. This is His coming to enlighten (if you accept what He reveals),
or to bring judgement upon you (if you reject His further revelation).]
I 'Win' £1 Million
14th Sept 2002. M.
£1,000,000
In this dream I had won £1
million in a phone-link game show. The host may not have been Chris Tarrant,
but it was someone like him. He asked me the million pound question and I
knew the answer immediately. My reply was so casual it was bland, which was
rather disarming to the show, because they want to have suspense and hype
leading up to a climax. There was none of that. The answer was so
matter-of-fact, natural, and without affectation or ceremony, that it was
almost a let-down. Anyway, it won me £1,000,000 and I was elated. There must
have been quite a bit of publicity over this result, too, because I went out
to shift some soil near the road and a road worker saw me and made a comment
showing that he knew what I had won.
Helena
also had a dream the same night about conducting funeral services for church
leaders while they are still alive.
Meaning:
Symbols of what is to come to this ministry; the publicity; the means to do
a large work for God, etc.
Revival Will Come To
Scotland
15th Sept 2002. M. The
Bicycle Ride to
Scotland
This dream portrayed me
getting on my bike in a hurry to go on a trip to Scotland. It seemed to be
an almost spontaneous decision, one made suddenly. On the way I realised
that I had not packed my small camping stove that I would need for cooking.
(Whenever we have been away on ‘holiday’ we usually camped, because it was
cheap. The analogy depicts how we continue to go the same cost-cutting route
in this ministry. We can’t afford to ‘travel’ like other well-off
ministries.)
On the journey, we came to
a very narrow point in the road where there was only enough room for one car
to pass. A car was coming the other direction, so I got off my bike and
pushed it for this bit. I was holding the saddle when the car hit my peddle
as it went past. It didn’t stop. When I got on my bike and started peddling
again, the left peddle was bent. I could feel it was ‘wonky’, but I carried
on.
Meaning:
An allegory of what is coming up – how our ministry will spread to Scotland,
where (from previous dreams) revival will break out. The bicycle represents
our meagre financial means to do the task. Others would be able to afford
cars, but I only have a bicycle.
The car coming the other
direction probably depicts the force of opposition that is in the world,
which is travelling the other way to us. It doesn’t care about the things of
God. In God’s plan, although it cannot stop us doing God’s Work, things do
happen which affect and hurt us. The bent peddle represents some minor
damage done to our ministry operations or influence. Usually, media
publicity does not properly represent the truth. They slant it in the way
they want to. The bent peddle may portray the way the media will report what
God does through us, which could damage or limit the response from others,
thereby affecting our means of ‘travel’ – taking the message to others.
(Curiously, although it was the right peddle that was hit by the car, the
left peddle was the bent one! Explain that!)
Richard & Publicity
27th Sept 2002. M. 2
Dreams
1) Richard.
I bought him a notebook and glasses. While I was in the shop I asked the
shopkeeper if I could go and take them to him before paying, to see if I had
bought the right ones. I wondered if she would let me have credit. She said,
“You’re Mr Heap, aren’t you?” and she said it would be OK, I could pay her
later.
Meaning:
A combination of matters to do with Richard’s need to see spiritually
clearly again; our inability to pay at the moment, and the way this ministry
has to run on credit for now; and the fact that people will soon know our
names.
2)
I was getting dressed
beside my pick-up truck. Richard came around the corner fast in his white
van, but I was not fully dressed. Although I was fully dressed on top, with
a thick winter jacket on, I still had pyjamas on my legs. Suddenly, I
realised people were watching me from a distance. I ran uphill (and I got
quite hot running in my jacket!) in a built up area and then round a corner.
Meaning:
A combination of imagery representing the change Richard will soon make in
returning to our ministry; and how I am not personally ready to ‘run’ with
the message (I am not naturally a speaker or preacher); but I will run
anyway, and it will be accomplished.
Unnecessary Police
Ruthlessness
28th Sept 2002. M. The
articulated lorry
A large articulated lorry
pulled onto the grass in the field opposite our home. Because the ground was
soft, he kept on the move. He steadily drove it onto the drive in the
direction of the farm opposite. When he was on hard ground, he put it in
reverse and backed up with speed towards our house. It was as if he intended
to completely smash our place (fortunately, the driveway was not exactly
opposite us, so the lorry missed). He backed the artic’ down the driveway
with venom. I had never seen anyone back an artic’ at speed like that; it
was really skilled, but very ruthless. I was horrified! He had no regard for
anyone who might be coming down the main road that he was blindly backing
out across!
Meaning:
An analogy of the machinery of the State and how they will try to destroy
us. It is completely uncalled for!
Disregard For Others
29th Sept 2002. M.
Disregard for others
The scene was at our ‘old’
house in Ellesborough. The farmer next door here came along with his tractor
mower, as if he were making silage, and, without asking us, cut a swathe
through our front garden. He cut the grass and the hedge and went right over
our front lawn. He had a rotating boom on the opposite side of the tractor
to the cutter, which narrowly missed the windows on the house. I went out to
confront him and complain. He hadn’t asked our permission and his action was
one of total disregard for us and our human rights.
Meaning:
Perhaps an allegory of how respect for others has been severely eroded in
society, by greed and self-seeking so that the ‘average’ person flagrantly
does ‘their own thing’ without any regard for others. This is a reflection
of the lawless trend Paul prophesied would cover the earth in the last days
(2 Tim 3:1,2).
Man Waiting For Tonya
30th Sept 2002. M. Two
dreams
1)
A fella gave Tonya a lift on his motorbike and trailer. (Unusual
combination?!) They had arranged a meeting place, where he would pick Tonya
up, but when he got there, Tonya wasn’t there. She had to walk ½ mile or so
to the pre-arranged pick-up point, and she was late. He waited a while, but
after about a minute he was wondering whether he should go, or whether to go
and look for her. Just as he was about to go, she arrived. She jumped on
board and they went off together. We saw them later in a commercial setting,
but that part of the dream was hazy and faded out.
Dual Outreach Ministry
2) The man with two
pick-ups
I went by someone’s home.
It was in a fairly hilly setting, where space was at a premium. He was a
builder and he had two pick-up trucks. In order to park one pick-up he had
excavated into the slope at the side of the property and built a retaining
wall. I saw his pick-up parked there, neatly tucked away into the ‘dug-out’.
The other pick-up was parked some way away.
As I was walking by, I
walked into the garden (which was fairly small, but tidy) and had a quick
look. But I didn’t want to be invasive or nosey, so I equally quickly went
out and on my way. I noticed that there were no building materials anywhere
to be seen. That really surprised me; it was strange for a builder not to
have any building materials visible anywhere on his property!
Meaning:
An allegory of someone else’s outreach. The two pick-ups represent the
potential of reaching out in two directions: one to the people in the
charismatic church, and the other to the people he knew in his former church
who are further away in spiritual terms. The building materials represent
our publications that can be used (by being given to them) to build the
Temple of God.
Man Commits Spiritual
Prostitution
4th October 2002. M. 1)
M going to a prostitute
Meaning:
M, a friend of ours who has stayed with the WCG, committing spiritual
prostitution. (I had been planning to write to him that day, when God gave
me the dream to add to my letter.)
Jim Rector's Deceit
5th October 2002. M. 1)
A big coach featured in this dream. It had squarish / very regular
features. It was driven by one man. He was capable and knew how to drive it.
He was so proficient that he managed to get it through some iron gates that
left next to nothing on each side. I was amazed that he didn’t scrape the
side of the coach. The gate was less than an inch away!
As the coach pulled away, I
heard a swishing sound and looked to see an electric cable being dragged
along behind. There were several awkward bulky connectors joining several
lengths of cable. It was a real sight seeing this thing going down the road
with the long cable being dragged behind!
There was one man in the
back of the coach. It seemed there were no other passengers on it (but
perhaps they were not significant from God’s perspective, so they weren’t
shown).
Then this man got off and
decided to go elsewhere into a more permanent building. When he did so, the
driver got upset and berated him for leaving him. It seemed that his
departure jeopardised the driver’s work of taking the coach, and he was
blamed for the impending failure (the failure of this man’s outreach was
strongly implied).
Meaning:
This concerns a minister in the USA, Jim Rector, his outreach (coach) and
someone who has been supporting his outreach (the passenger). The passenger
has now moved on spiritually, and is leaving this other minister behind.
The electric cable
symbolises that ministry’s human power supply, and the theology which is a
combination of bits and pieces of teaching from various sources, all joined
together. The berating is indicative of the driver’s use of intimidation and
control to try and get what he wants out of his ‘passengers’.
He doesn't follow the lead
of the Spirit. He has rejected our input for him. He has deceitfully
plagiarised our booklet God's Church – Whose Authority? to get
acclaim for himself. He is very unwell. He is a false minister.
Others Agree With What We
Teach
2)
Some famous people will agree with the content of our publications
I saw one of my
publications. It was open and in some of the text I noticed that part of it
had been written by a famous person. It was in his own handwriting, to
authenticate that he definitely DID write it, symbolising that he agreed
with what was written in my booklet.
There was also another
person who agreed with what was written therein. And the person’s name was
given in the dream as Sir Anthony Buzzard. He was agreeing with or
confirming it.
Meaning:
A representation of the fact that not all oppose us. Some honest
intellectuals (Anthony Buzzard was one) can see the truth in what we write.
God's Way Is Far Better
Than The World's Pleasure-Seeking
Way
8th Oct 2002. M. The
golf balls
This dream highlights the
comparative worthlessness of what this world offers, compared with what God
offers us.
I wanted to buy some golf
balls, but they were not sold in the shops. To get some you had to go
through ‘Central Command’. I asked the person responsible for actioning
requests if I could have some golf balls, but he said it was totally out of
the question. His response was really discouraging.
Then, a short while later,
he came back to me and said that he had got some for me and gave me some
second-hand balls that were really worn. They were pitted and smaller than
new ones because they were so badly worn.
Then in another dream,
there was something else I really wanted and I knew that it could only come
from God. What was wonderful was that God made it readily available. And not
only that, He provided MORE than I asked for – much more!
Meaning:
These dreams portray the difference between God’s way and the world’s.
In this world, people seek
happiness, fun, entertainment, and enjoyment symbolised by the game of golf
and the golf balls. But true satisfaction and lasting fulfilment only comes
from God – seeking Him and living in obedience to His way.
The thief does not come
except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have
life, and that they may have it more abundantly (Jn 10:10, NKJV).
Do You Worship In Spirit?
Or Are You A Ritualist?
10th Oct 2002. M.
Are you a ritualist, doing
things out of habit?
A guy was regularly going
up into our loft to worship. By habit, he climbed the rickety, flimsy
aluminium loft ladder to get there. I didn’t think it was worth doing what
he did. To me it was empty ‘worship’, because it was merely a habit, so I
didn’t go along with him. I wanted something better.
Meaning:
Some people rely upon others instead of upon Jesus. Or their worship becomes
habitual, or they rely upon a flimsy physical substitute. But there is no
substitute for true worship in the spirit, when you allow the Holy Spirit to
take central place in all you do to worship God.
People Unspiritual; Poor
Response...
11th Oct 2002. M.
Disappointing response
The scene was of a mature
shady garden, with trees and plants, etc. There was a road adjacent, down
which water was flowing. I threw a bouquet or plant into this water,
expecting something in return, but nothing came. Then I was beside a garden
centre cum builders’ merchants, looking at various things like pavers, pots
and other items. I didn’t know why I was looking at these things. I woke up
feeling a bit let down that nothing much seemed to have been achieved.
Meaning:
Depicts the disappointing response so far.
...But That Will Change
Suddenly!
14th Oct 2002. M. 2 dreams:
What God will give us
1) The diamond-tipped
masonry saw
A guy was selling his
diamond-tipped masonry power saw / cutter. There was an advert in the paper
where he was asking £237 for it. (Not much for a machine that costs several
times more when new!) But I couldn’t even afford that much, and the market
was depressed, so things were selling for ‘silly’ cheap prices. I thought to
offer him about £100 for it, so I offered him £100 plus VAT (about £117). He
wasn’t happy with that, so I then offered £127. Then finally, the figure of
£137 came up. I was not shown the outcome but I think I got the saw.
Meaning:
Not entirely clear as yet, but it probably is an allegory of what God is
about to give us in this ministry – power to do His Work.
A further significance is
in the figures. Sevens figure in each number, combined with 11 (inspired
writings), then 12 (God’s rule), then 13 (Satan and opposition). There is
also a progression from Psalm 117, to 127 and then to 137.
Ps 117 is an exhortation to
everyone to praise God for His faithfulness and love which lasts forever.
(People need to truly know and ‘see’ how good God is.)
Ps 127 is a reminder that
unless He builds the house, the builders work in vain.
Ps 137 is a dirge or lament
of God’s people held captive in Babylon because of their failure to do what
was mentioned in the first two psalms. Satan oppressed them because of their
disobedience and rebellion against His laws.
This
progression is also illustrated numerically in the dream. Our writings,
inspired by God, come first, followed by God’s rule (His intervention and
power: involvement in people’s lives, etc.), followed by punishment on those
who fail to accept what God is presenting. This nation is about to go into
captivity (Ps 137) because of their failure to praise God (Ps 117), and to
let Him build their house (Ps 127).
There is an allusion in the
dream to the constantly worsening economic situation which this nation and
other nations will go through.
Another thrust of the dream
indicates why we don’t have the resources we should have in this ministry to
promote God’s unadulterated truths – because of people’s selfishness and
lack of love for the truth above all else. The next dream continues that
theme.
People Hinder Us Instead Of
Help
2)
People seek success, but not sacrifice
Someone phoned me to tell
me of a vision he had had. This man said that he realised that it meant he
should be helping me. But their idea of help was not help at all.
Instead of providing the
money we needed to get the job done (the tithe is still a command under the
New Covenant; it has not been abolished) he got more involved with us
personally, and made himself a confounded nuisance by taking our time. We
can do without ‘helpers’ like that! That’s not help; it’s interference!
Meaning:
When people ‘catch the vision’ and see that we have a lot of truth from God,
they want to be ‘part of the action’. But their response is misguided.
Instead of doing the very necessary practical things that enable us to get
these truths to others, they want to involve themselves with us in a more
personal way, often out of a wrong motive. People want personal ‘success’
but not personal sacrifice!
Austin
A35
16th Oct 2002. M. The
Austin A35
I was with someone else in
his grey Austin A35 (a reliable car which was around when I grew up as a
boy). We were getting on really well. There was a real friendship between
us. This person was taking me where I needed to go.
Meaning:
A pictorial illustration of the bond between one individual and me, and how
he is helping us get where we need to go in this ministry.
Years ago, when this
ministry was just beginning, we bought a Ford Escort car for £1100. It had
the number plate A35 MBH (my initials). The A is significant in that it is
the first letter of the alphabet, and is an allusion to the prime place on
God’s agenda that this ministry holds (not because of us, but because of the
Truth that He has given us to convey), and the 35 is significant, being 5 x
7. (5 = God’s preparation / grace; 7 = God’s perfection.)
Scotland Yard Will Come
After Me
17th Oct 2002. M. The
basketball game
Several guys were playing
basketball, but were all up one end of the court. The ball was at the other
end of the court, on the floor under the basket. Cheekily, I went onto the
court, picked it up and attempted to score with it. (But I never was much of
a good shot!) When they saw me with the ball, they all turned and came after
me, and put me off my shot.
Meaning:
This has to do with a situation here involving the police. They are chasing
another man, whom I know is innocent of the charge they are trying to find
him guilty of.
I have challenged Scotland
Yard over their approach and about their allegations. They will consider my
involvement as ‘cheeky’.
Officials in positions of
authority don’t like being challenged or exposed when in the wrong. But when
they come against me, their wrong and malicious motives will be exposed.
(Also related to dream of
28th Sept.)
Our Ship Comes In
18th Oct 2002. M. 3 dreams
1) The big ship comes in
(our ministry expansion)
A big ship came in, but it
had a dent in the bow. Somehow it got dented as the water level dropped, and
the ship became caught up on a protruding edge of the concrete dock.
There were many things
going on; many people coming and going, but none of that was distinct. I
went to report the dent to someone in charge. The way I explained the dent
was in my fashion of almost apologising for my lack of technical knowledge
or jargon. It didn’t matter that I was not versed in shipping terminology,
but perhaps I felt a bit inadequate because of that, hence the way I
reported the fault.
2)
I was staying in a hotel and there were various things going on, but again
unspecified. I wanted to go to the loo, but someone was in the bathroom
having a bath or washing, and I had to wait. (Inconvenience?) I was given a
cup of coffee but it was almost black, there was so little milk in it!
(Things not the way I would
personally like them to be?)
Topsy-Turvy Weather From
Now On
3)
We can expect topsy-turvy weather
In this brief dream it
snowed. It was only October, and the weather had been unseasonally warm just
a week before. Now, everything had a covering of snow!
(A picture of how the
weather can switch suddenly from one season to another, making the seasons
seem irrelevant.)
Britain's
Shameless Immorality
19th Oct 2002. M. The
vile immorality in this nation!
The place was a sea-side
resort, and it was summer. I walked around the corner of a street onto the
sea front and the first thing that accosted my eyes was a young woman,
totally naked, spread-eagled on top of a man, locked in sexual union. I was
aghast! I had to turn my eyes away.
Meaning:
The shamelessness of people in our society, especially the young. There is
such brazen immorality!
This lurid dream is
illustrated by the atrocious attitude expressed in the following comment by
Suzanne Moore of
London’s
Daily Mail of 13th October 2002:
“Thank God ordinary people
are demanding that the BBC lives up to certain standards. Many viewers had
to phone in on Wednesday after watching BBC2’s Tipping The Velvet. I
nearly did myself. We were promised it would be absolutely filthy with loads
of lesbianism, corsets and heaving bosoms. It was more like The Good Old
Days without the variety. Most of those who phoned complained that there
was not enough sex. There certainly wasn’t and it’s about time we demanded
more from the Beeb.”
How disgusting can minds
get?! It’s no joke. It’s symptomatic of how low the morality of the majority
has sunk!
Hello, Mr Policeman!
12th May 2002. H. Police
arriving
A police car arrived but
was blocked by the gate.
Meaning:
The police want to interview us but God will be in control when they are
allowed to come.
Richard's Trial
17th May 2002. H.
Richard in terror
Richard was hit by an
obstacle. He yelled out in terror.
Meaning:
A future event which will result in Richard’s conversion. (Possibly a car
crash.)
Sudden Spring Of Water
Gushes Out
19th May 2002 (Pentecost).
H. Spring of water
We were making alterations
in a large house, preparing it for some future event. I went into one of the
rooms, when the floor started heaving and a spring of water burst out. I was
startled and shaken by it.
Meaning:
This is symbolic of spiritual outpouring that's about to occur, bringing
about the revival for the Church and a witness to the nation.
Giving People Spiritual
Nourishment
22nd May 2002. H. Food
from flour and water
I was dealing with people,
giving some of them sacks of flour. I was also showing them how to make a
drink from flour and water in a bottle. This preparation was meant to be for
food for the people.
Meaning:
One of the men was a minister from WCG and God will use him to feed the
'water' of the Holy Spirit to people. The flour represents spiritual food
(teaching), broken down fine.
God Creates Another Opening
25th May 2002. H.
Opening window
I was in a room and trying
to open the window, but I could only open it slightly. There was an
obstruction on the outside. However, soon another window opened on the other
side of the room.
Meaning:
At the moment we are restricted by the lack of funds (external restriction),
but soon God will open a way to move forward. When one 'door' closes, God
will open another.
Get Ready For The Revival!
28th May 2002. H. Loud,
urgent knock
There was someone knocking
on the bedroom window. The knock sounded desperate and insistent. There were
two knocks, and they were so loud it woke me up.
Meaning:
This is a warning to prepare for future events. God wants us to have a sense
of urgency and to be ready spiritually.
Coming Down To Earth
30th May 2002. H. 2 Dreams
1) Obese woman
free-falling
I was staying in a big
house with other people. I was aware that some people were staying in our
home. Looking out of the window, I saw an obese woman free-falling from the
sky! She seemed carefree and unaware of the danger of hitting the ground.
She was almost enjoying the falling experience. I could see there was a
balloon with a rope attached to it. I shouted at the woman to get hold of
the handle, that the balloon could let her land safely. Next I was aware she
was with the rest of us, safe and well, although maybe slightly bruised on
her bottom.
Meaning:
These are events concerning someone we know.
God uses imagery of the
moment in your life to convey His spiritual message, so you can relate to
His deeper meaning.
Nice Strawberries
2) Strawberry plant
I saw a tall strawberry
plant with lots of ripe strawberries on it. They were in different sizes.
Meaning:
There are a number of individuals whom we have reached who are bearing fruit
and growing spiritually.
Bear Walking Around
31st May 2002. H. 2 Dreams
1) Bear walking around
Malcolm was tolerant of it.
I became anxious that the bear might hurt someone. I asked that the bear
would be locked up in a barrel. The bear didn't like it at first but settled
down. We put a lid on top so the bear would not escape.
Meaning:
The bear represents someone who has lived a selfish lifestyle under the
influence of demons. He had to be restrained for his good as well as to
protect others.
Rains Of Revival Needed
2) I helped to plant some
plants on the embankment.
They did not look great as they were waiting for the rains to develop
further.
Meaning:
Some people are waiting for the rains of revival to help them grow further.
Prince William
7th June 2002. H. Prince
William
Dream of Prince William
coming to see me. I was glad to have a chat with him.
Meaning:
In the future God will bring him into our company because of his mother
being brought back from the dead as we have prophesied for about 11 years.
We Will Be Subjected To
Police Abuse
10th June 2002. H. 2 Dreams
1) Big menacing man
Malcolm was working around
a small house in a field. Next door there was a big house. I saw a man
towering over the house. There were little people, or children, who were
afraid of this man. He was oppressive, bossy and abusive, and suddenly he
turned on Malcolm. He was towering over Malcolm in an abusive and menacing
manner.
I came to Malcolm's aid and
started to rebuke him. The man represents someone in authority, employed by
the State, who is abusive, controlling and unreasonable towards some people.
We should not be afraid of ‘officialdom’.
Difficulties Of The Task
Ahead
2) I was trying to swim in
the sea with a chainsaw
It was a very strange
experience.
Meaning:
The water represents God's outpouring and the chainsaw represents a powerful
tool to get the job done.
Church & Its Leaders Will
Be Shaken
19th June 2002. H. 2 Dreams
1) Dream of a big
warehouse
Inside there were huge
heating pipes. These had been put out of action, or toppled over.
Meaning:
God is going to shake the Church and put it out of action. It is no longer
in God's will.
First, He will raise the
dead to draw attention to 'our' End-Time Message. Then God's power will
shake all things, causing what is not of Him to fall in His judgement.
2) Ugly leader of group
I went to visit a group of
people and I asked to see their leader. I said, "Who is in charge here?!" He
looked very ugly.
Meaning:
Ugliness represents the spiritual state of the leader. God will give us a
platform to challenge the leaders of the Church. God is going to deal with
everyone.
Forced To Put Up With What
Is Unclean
22nd June 2002. H. Made
to eat pork
A group of us were sitting
at a table to eat a meal, but the food contained pork (which we don't eat
because God forbids it in Lev 11). It seemed we had no choice but to eat it.
There was a man among us who refused to obey God and do God's will.
Meaning:
The dream portrays a past situation we found ourselves in. We abhorred the
way we were treated and the difficulties we were put through because of
someone else’s disobedience to God’s laws. We had no choice but to persevere
and trust God to work things out and to deliver us from the dreadful
situation we were put through.
God finally delivered us,
and gave us victory over the devil and those who were used by him.
Another Miracle Of Heavenly
Support
27th June 2002. H. Dream
of a caravan
There was a hole in the
roof, in an egg shape, from wear and tear. Malcolm was walking on the roof
and I was concerned that he would not fall through the hole. He carried on
walking and, instead of falling through the hole, it seemed that he was
supported by a thick plastic sheet or perspex. The roof was miraculously
mended.
Meaning:
The danger of falling through the hole in the roof represents the danger we
are in financially. We are in danger of collapse but God miraculously
supports us as we walk and keep going. These are the miracles of provision.
Person Regrets His Decision
28th June 2002. H.
Missing out on God's work
Someone from Africa, who
fell away through selfishness, came to see us. He went on top of the roof to
pray. Malcolm gave him attention and he now knows he lost out on what God is
doing and that other churches don't provide all the answers.
Tony Blair Doing His Own
Thing
2nd July 2002. H. Saw
for Tony Blair
I was holding a long saw in
my hand. I was showing the tool to Tony Blair but he ignored it and went off
doing his own thing and using his own tool.
Meaning:
The saw represents the spiritual tools given to us through God’s Word and
God’s guidance. God is saying that what we have spiritually could help the
nation, but Mr Blair prefers to try to solve problems his way rather than
God's way.
Midnight Ministries In
USA Is Evil
3rd July 2002. H. Evil
man in distance
I was busy doing different
things, planting and travelling. I was aware of a man, who looked like a
businessman, in the distance. He tried to exert dominance in the situation.
Meaning:
A week later we received a communication from a man in the USA who operates
under the same ministry name as us. His name is Robert Harris, of Midnight
Ministries Inc. in America. But he is hostile, proud, and elevates himself
while falsely accusing us and putting us down. While he thinks he is someone
special, he is a tool of Satan, promoting heresies.
Famous People Will Visit To
Learn
7th July 2002. H. Being
seen getting dressed
Someone famous came to see
us. As I was talking I finished getting dressed.
Meaning:
We are going to be very busy and we are going to lose our privacy.
Pastor Determinedly Rebels
11th July 2002. H. Idol
kept upright
Dream of a round basket
with some plants in it. Next to the plants there was an idol lying on its
side. I saw someone pick up the idol and they were determined to keep it
upright.
Meaning:
A pastor in the US was challenged through the story of the boy in
Nigeria
being raised from the dead. Through it, we challenged him about the Sabbath,
but instead of considering the ‘new’ teaching he stuck rigidly with his past
doctrines. He was determined to keep the idol in his life upright.
Pastors are very hard to
reach with more truth! They've got so much to 'lose'.
More People Responding
12th July 2002. H.
Chickens and rabbits
I saw chickens and rabbits
running together into a hiding place.
Meaning: Normally we have
rabbits coming into our garden. The chickens represent more activity with
different people. But they tend to be a bit reserved about complete truth.
Oriental Power Bloc
Emerging
13th July 2002. H.
Controlling oriental nation
I had a long dream about an
oriental nation, or nations, using coercion and power to control people, to
restrict their freedom, enslaving them through rigid and cruel control. It
was totally evil and inspired by the devil.
Meaning:
This oriental power is rising now and threatens the security and peace of
many.
Polish People Need Revival
16th July 2002. H.
Polish house and dry flowers
Dream of visiting a big
Polish house. There were people responding. I was given a long pot of young
flowers (‘Busy Lizzies’). There were lots of them, but they were dry and
needed water desperately.
Meaning:
There are people of different races that we need to reach with the gospel.
They are waiting for the outpouring to receive the ‘water’ of the Holy
Spirit the Truth to revive them spiritually. Busy Lizzies are very
colourful, active plants, which in this dream, depict the hard-working
character of Polish people.
Our Privacy Invaded
17th July 2002. H.
1) Peeping at me
I was using the bathroom
and as I looked out of the window I could see people in the field.
Some of them came to my
window and peeped in, but I tried to pull the curtains shut to stop them
looking in.
Meaning:
Through media publicity our privacy is going to be invaded.
2) I saw a strange man
watching us
He looked hostile and as if
he was trying to find fault with us. After a while he tried to get into one
of our rooms. I tried to talk to him but he couldn't understand. I had to
use sign language to communicate with him. He was intruding into our lives
and trying to cause trouble.
Meaning:
Someone who is unconverted, spiritually deaf or blind. Because of that, he
has an evil approach and will not listen to others. He thinks he is the
know-it-all teacher, yet his theology is totally heretical. This was Robert
Harris. The devil uses people like this to cause trouble and persecution.
Money Misused Through
Wickedness
19th July 2002. H.
Wickedness and the misuse of money
I wrestled in the spirit
about why we have to suffer financial needs while some people are sitting on
wealth and wasting it on themselves. The Work of God has great needs while
the wicked enjoy themselves. We have to rely on God to provide the needs we
have. God performs miracles but it's still not easy. It takes sacrifice to
do the work of God.
There is a great blessing
and spiritual reward for those who care for the Work of God. This in itself
is a witness against those who are selfish and don't care.
Problems Others Cause
23rd July 2002. H.
Leaking roof
I was in bed with my
husband in an open plan house. Someone came in and went upstairs as usual.
Water was leaking from the ceiling.
Meaning:
The open plan house depicts how we use our home for the benefit of others.
The water leak represents problems we have to live with caused by others.
24th July 2002. H. 3 Dreams
1) I found a pair of shoes
which belonged to our friend. They were made of leather and were extra large
in size with pointed upturned toes.
Meaning:
The shoes reflect the person's character. He puts himself first and thinks
of himself as special or better than others. He likes to appear good and
impress others. He is a bit flamboyant.
Polish Girl Accepts Holy
Days
2) Truth known in Poland
I was speaking to a
coloured girl in Poland who learned about God's Festivals. I was amazed that
she understood this truth.
Meaning:
God is showing that the literature will reach the most unlikely people in
different countries.
Massive State Onslaught
Against Us
3) I saw a huge vehicle
arrive
It suddenly went for the
house. The wheels reached the roof. It gave me a fright, I thought our house
would get run over! The vehicle stopped suddenly with an inch to spare.
Meaning:
The threat against us from those whom the devil can mobilise to do his dirty
work.
Some In CoGs Will Be
Supportive
25th July 2002. H. CoG
showing us affection
A lady whom I knew from the
WCG was keen to show me affection and love. I was glad to respond likewise.
Meaning:
The lady represents some in the Church of God groups who will give us
support once their eyes are opened. We have literature to help them
spiritually. Although they have opposed us up until now, they will change
and help us to give the witness. (Dream given at the time when the
Understanding The Mind of God series of booklets were going to print.)
Jesus Is So Wonderful!
27th July 2002. H. Sweet
Jesus and His bride
I had a dream of a young
man of Middle East origin. I was telling him, "You are so sweet! Did anyone
tell you how sweet you are?"
Meaning:
The man is Jesus. The Church should be learning to show Jesus affection and
to make herself ready to be His bride. Jesus is waiting for her!
Approaching The Next Stage
28th July 2002. H. The
next stage of MM's work
We were staying at a house
and a close friend, E G, was there with us. We were living on the edge of a
lake (nice, spiritually). I could see the property of MM.
Meaning:
God has used this close friend to assist us financially, as the dream shows
we are living together spiritually. We are getting closer to the next stage
of the work. The water is symbolic of the outpouring of God's power.
Our Task Similar To
Deborah's
29th July 2002. H. In a
big house
We were in a big house
where there was a peacock inside. A film about Deborah was available to see
and I was keen to watch it.
Meaning:
The peacock represents blessing from God. (What God gives is so beautiful.)
Deborah was a prophetess and a judge to
Israel.
God used her and Barak to deliver Israel from their enemies. God has given
us a job to do, to deliver people from their spiritual enemy. This is a
complex job and only God can help us to accomplish it. This story of
deliverance at this end time would make an interesting film.
Apostate Christians
9th August 2002. H.
Blind and unwell Christians
Mr and Mrs Sxxxxx came
through the front door. Mr. Sxxxxx was unwell, blind, and a shadow of his
former self.
Meaning:
Their loyalty to their apostate church has nearly killed them spiritually. [Note:
2005. He is now blind, 3 years later.] They gave their loyalties to their
church instead of to God. If they were to change their focus and direction
of adoration, he could be healed of his blindness.
Note:
To give your loyalty to anything or anyone other than to Jesus, is to accept
the Mark of the Beast, which is a symbol of homage to man instead of to God.
God Is Taking Care Of Us
Despite The Pressures &
Problems
10th August 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Purse protected.
I was walking with Malcolm on the road. Soon he became exhausted and I had
to assist him with a wheelchair. I had to leave my purse behind as I was
tied up with Malcolm. When I came back the purse was still there.
Meaning:
This shows how God is looking after our money situation. We need not fear,
because the purse is protected.
The wheelchair is symbolic,
not literal.
God Is Doing A Work In
Japan
2) Hospital treatments
in Japan
I was taken into a Japanese
hospital where there were doctors helping others to get well. (This has a
spiritual meaning.) It was a big building with many floors and there were
many treatments going on in different rooms. I was able to look at different
things going on. I was on the top floor and as I looked down, the floors
opened up and I could see much was going on. This work was going on in
secret.
Meaning:
God’s ‘invisible’ work in Japan. Henry Gruver (a US evangelist) visited
Japan with his testimony about how he was shown around heaven when he died.
Many were converted in Japan when he gave his testimony, and others have
evangelised there too. During a recent earthquake, Christian homes were
protected. God is caring for those who belong to Him in Japan.
We Provide Washing
Facilities
13th August 2002. H.
Washing facilities
We were preparing washing
and showering facilities for visitors.
Meaning:
This is symbolic of spiritual cleaning and purification. People need help in
many areas of their lives, because they are in bondage to a system or to
ideas and they need deliverance from those. God's truth delivers people (Jn
8:32) and we are expounding that through our literature.
The Charismatic Church
Shrine
24th August 2002. H.
Money making venture in
factory
I saw a big factory
disappear into a huge water spring which sprang up underneath the factory.
After the factory had gone, the managers built a new factory on top of the
water springs, and opened up its doors to people to show them inside.
They charged money for the
spectacle. The directors were like shrewd businessmen. They saw this wonder
as an opportunity to make money.
One of the directors
befriended me. I came to see him but he turned up late and left quickly, as
if he wasn't bothered about me. He didn't care for me or what I had to do.
He left me stranded far away from home.
Meaning:
What this dream depicts is the wrong motive behind the modern structure that
has developed as an outgrowth of what is dubbed conveniently as the
'charismatic church'.
Pursuit of
money is not a valid motive behind ministry. True godly ministry is to bring
God into the lives of others; to reveal and expound His truth that sets
people free when accepted and practiced (Jn 8:32); and to promote the love
of Christ.
Any physical
pursuits that replace these divine purposes are idolatrous substitutes. They
are usurpers, as are the men who promote them.
Yet, we see
church structures, programmes, ministers, teachings, worship services and
way of doing things all lifted up on an idolatrous platform. They have taken
the place of the pure and simple purpose of the gospel and the faith once
delivered.
The Holy Spirit
was poured out to bring people into an individual freedom with Christ, so
they can hear from Him directly and be led by Him into all truth (Jn 16:13).
But many men who call themselves 'ministers' have usurped those divine
prerogatives and enslaved people to a system that has made a shrine out of
what God has given.
Here is the
meaning of the various parts of the dream:
A big
factory: This represents the Church under human direction. It has lost
its true identity and has become distorted or perverted into an edifice for
human production. 'Saving souls' has become like a business with high
pressure salesmen trying to bring many into churches.
Huge water
spring: The outpouring of the Holy Spirit which has generated massive
spiritual changes and renewal throughout the Church.
After the
factory had gone: The former outpouring of the Spirit has had its
heyday, and now the part of the Church which benefited from that has also
waned.
The managers
built a new factory: The contemporary state of the 'charismatic church'
which is developing all the while to accommodate people and use what it can
exploit to appeal to them and bring them through its doors.
...and
opened up its doors to people to show them inside: Today, various
sectors of the Church make merchandise out of the gifts of the Spirit and
other spiritual manifestations (many of which are actually demonic
counterfeits of the true – these are easily seen at places like the Toronto
Airport (formerly Vineyard) church. This is a fleshly attempt to capitalise
on spiritual manifestations – a totally wrong motivation. It is
experience-based, not centred on truth and a repentance which is based on
the acceptance of more of God's truth.
They charged
money for the spectacle: This reveals the motive behind the behaviour.
It is unseen until God reveals it. Hence this dream!
When ministers
have cleverly appealed to converts to lure them into their churches, it is
commonplace to find strong emphasis on giving financially to their church to
support its structure.
Besides that,
the 'charismatic church' also markets its publications, tapes and videos for
profit – invariably with slick and attractive presentation for maximum human
appeal, as in any worldly marketing approach.
Thus, this
dream portrays how this part of the Church has turned the outpouring of the
Spirit into a money-making enterprise. They have used spiritual
manifestations to bring in money to them.
They are more
concerned about money than people!
This sad fact
was amply demonstrated when someone I know wrote to one of these charismatic
ministries and requested some tapes they were offering on prayer. He was
hard up at the time and could not afford the amount they were asking for the
two audio tapes. So he sent them £5. It was all he could afford. He received
a letter saying that he had not sent enough money, and that the £5 would be
considered a donation unless he sent in the full price – which was high for
just two tapes! (I think it was about £10.)
Our friend
replied, explaining his difficult financial circumstances, but the ministry
policy was apparently more important to them than the person writing! He
asked if he could have just one tape, but was not granted his request. The
ministry didn't return his £5. Not only did they keep his money, they denied
him any tape! They added insult to his injury!
That's not
feeding the poor. It's abusing them! In Jesus' day the gospel was preached
to the poor (Matt 11:5). It's just as well Jesus didn't charge for it, or we
would not be able to afford to be saved!
Money and power
are perhaps the two most ubiquitous corrupting influences. Of course, it is
not them by themselves which are the corrupters, but the way they are
sought, used, or desired.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil (1 Tim
6:10).
The lust for
power is equally ruinous. Where men (and sometimes women) love to hold power
over others, they are spiritually corrupt.
Both are widely
to be seen in churches. The 'charismatic church' is no exception.
Those who are
in control (ministers and church leaders) have merchandised – for selfish
reasons – what came from God. It has created a system to fleece people and
provide entertainment for them, while the leaders make an excellent living
from it. How disgraceful and vile! God hates it!!
The word of
the Lord came to me saying: Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds ...
prophesy and say to them 'Thus says the Lord God to the shepherds: Woe to
the shepherds... who feed themselves. Should not the shepherds feed the
flocks...?' (Ezek 34:1,2).
This prophecy,
which is highly appropriate in this context, goes on to lament on the poor
spiritual state of the people whom the shepherds are meant to nourish.
Because of leaders' wrong motivation and approach, God's people languish in
spiritual impoverishment. God's contemporary witness through other dreams
which He has given to us, confirms this tragic state. For example:
5th December 2002. H.
Preparing the apartment
I was trying to get the
apartment ready for the next job. Tonya tried to wash the carpets and they
needed to dry. I was aware of a big building next door which looked like a
hospital, full of sick people.
Meaning:
The sick people in the hospital represent the people in churches. We have
teaching materials which help people to receive healing, both physical and
spiritual, and they are waiting for the miracles God is about to perform to
get their attention!
Our Lacks
25th August 2002. H.
Living on the corner with
no house
This was a dream of a
street of houses. We lived on the corner [prominent position in God's scheme
of things] but we had no house. We only had a place to stay, but without a
roof or any shelter. I bought a big TV set and took care of it.
Meaning:
The TV symbolises publicity which is to come with the miracles. As a
ministry we have debts, symbolised by the lack of shelter and only God to
shelter and protect us from failure. He watches over us and performs
miracles.
27th August 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) There was a huge
downpour over our house
The water was leaking
through the roof. The container which I was using to catch the water was
totally inadequate.
Meaning:
Our situation, which is currently incapable of handling the massive influx
which will soon come once people are raised from the dead here, and
publicity follows.
TV Interview About Raising
The Dead
2) I was being interviewed
by Richard Madeley. We were enjoying a lively discussion about the miracles
of the dead being raised.
Meaning:
He is a well-known TV presenter who interviews celebrities and comments on
some current affairs. The dream is one of so many showing that publicity
will be God's main way of spreading the gospel in
Britain
from now on.
Pope Will Know Of Us
30th August 2002. H. The
Pope (John Paul II, deceased).
The Pope came to see us,
and an Irish lady, Mrs Stella Smith was there helping him.
Meaning:
God was showing that the pope will change after death. He will receive help
to move on in the spirit and learn more of God's truth, to unlearn the
deception he has been bound by.
Stella Smith was our
supporter for many years before she died in 2000, and she is well qualified
to give assistance to the pope. When he goes on the other side [see Why
Human Life? Life After Death, and The
NDE
if you are unfamiliar with the fact that your spirit continues consciousness
after the death of the body], he will be re-educated with truth he has
lacked.
Dead Chickens
31st August 2002. H.
Dead chickens
I was walking on a
footpath. I had to fight my way through many dead chickens hanging by their
heads. We met people along the way.
Meaning:
Dead chickens represent sacrifices. We have a job to do for God to give a
witness to others and this involves sacrifice of ourselves to get the job
done.
The Queen
2nd September 2002. H.
The Queen
The Queen stopped by to
speak to me briefly. We chatted about food and vegetables. She showed her
intent and desire to communicate. After a while she moved on.
Meaning:
This depicts what has occurred. Today, I sent a personal letter to her, with
some items of our literature.
8th September 2002. H.
Queen walks by
Prince Philip and the Queen
were walking their dogs, and children were walking in front creating lots of
noise. I was sitting on the side and wondered if the Queen would notice me.
She passed by pretending she didn't see me.
Meaning:
She shows a facade as if she is in total control of her situation. She does
not show emotion to people and sometimes pretends not to notice when she
actually does.
These dreams indicate that
God is working with her, and that He has a plan in which she figures, but He
is not giving much more away than that.
Falsely Accused By State
Police
2nd September 2002. H.
Tall fault-finding man
There was a tall man who
tried to find fault with us. He accused us of having a secret bank account
and cheque book. (What a joke!!)
Meaning:
Tall represents authority – in this case that of the State police, who will
accuse us falsely.
Our Ministry Underprovided
For
10th September 2002. H.
Driving a toy vehicle
Malcolm was driving a toy
vehicle towing a trailer made out of pieces of wood. I was trying to sit in
it.
Meaning:
This imagery shows how we don't have the right equipment to help us to get
the job done. What we do is done with the least expense.
The Traveller & Our Next
House
11th September 2002. H.
Running to the house
I was staying at a place. I
saw a traveller coming towards me. I realised I needed to get to the next
home which was some distance away. I started to run and then had to go up a
hill. I had to push myself hard to keep up the pace. [The struggle it has
been to keep going in MM.]
I noticed the traveller was
walking behind me. I wasn't too sure if I could trust him so I kept my
distance from him. Eventually I reached the house. There were people there
and I knew I needed to be there.
Meaning:
This is the next stage of our ministry, where we need to move quickly as
there is more work to be done, fast!
The traveller is a friend
who is coming back from his spiritual journey and who is meant to help us
with the next phase.
WCG Minister & His Drab
Doctrines
14th September 2002. H.
Old drab clothes
I met up with D Sxxxx and
his first wife. They were not together but were present at a market place.
They were selling old fashioned clothes, dark and drab looking and not very
appealing to the eye.
Meaning:
The man's first wife stands for the old church with its ritualistic emphasis
and the clothes represent that church’s doctrines which are old-fashioned
and lack vitality. Not only are they old-fashioned, they are mixed with
error! The WCG has apostatised and taken on board orthodox views and
opinions.
A New Christian
15th September 2002. H.
Dream of a new Christian
There were many things in
his life that were holding him back. His eye was squeezed and a lot of muck
came out. His past is preventing him making progress and moving forward.
Meaning:
Someone we know whose outlook is at fault.
Not Much Happening In The
Church
18th September 2002. H.
Mansion of many rooms
I was aware of a huge
building or mansion [the Church universal]. Within this building there were
many meeting halls. I went for a visit to each of them. There was an air of
expectancy but nothing was going on and there were no activities, as if they
were waiting for something to happen. No-one was inside.
I saw a pile of nice
clothing there. Where we stayed was a small room which was occupied by a
lady with two children. I was concerned that she was cramped with her
children but she was quite happy to be near us.
Meaning:
The Church needs reviving! God is the one who is in control and He releases
revival power. Through miracles He will revive the Church.
The clothing represents the
teaching waiting to be accepted. The true teaching of the Word is at the
centre of revival.
The lady and her children
represent some people who will be helped by our literature and who will
accept us and be friendly toward us.
Helping Lorry Driver Turn
Around
20th September 2002. H.
Helping lorry turn around
I was helping a lorry
driver turn around at night, but after he turned around he went straight for
me!
Meaning:
After helping this particular person, he turned on us in antagonism because
of his selfishness and pride.
Man With No Trousers
21st September 2002. H.
Man with no trousers
I was walking with a man
who had a long overcoat on but had no trousers. Just underpants!
Meaning:
A man we know. It shows
this man to be set in his ways and is blind to the fact that he is in a
state of spiritual undress, symbolic of his spiritual apathy and unrighteous
life.
Our New House & Office
24th September 2002. H.
New house and office.
We were moving into a new
place where we were trying to settle down. Nearby there was a room to be
ready for an office for F Bxxxxx. There were files there and a desk was put
in.
Meaning:
This is the next stage of our ministry work.
A Selfish Woman
25th September 2002. H.
Untidiness and waste of
money
I was inside a car with a
woman we know. The car was untidy. As I was sorting things out there were
coins on the floor. This shows that the family waste money. She wanted some
food, so I asked her, "Have you tried to grow carrots? They are good for
you."
As I was looking at some
framed pictures I saw money hidden underneath. I took the money because it
was meant for us. The dream concerns the wife of a man we know, DS, and
reveals her selfish character.
Requests For MM Literature
29th September 2002. H.
Eggs
I delivered a stack of eggs
to a depot where I was able to leave them for further sale.
Meaning:
Eggs represent the fruits of the ministry which are the publications. When a
door opens there will be a great demand for the literature in some quarters.
The Evil WCG
30th September 2002. H.
A black man secretly moved
in
A black man from
Pasadena moved into one of our bedrooms with his three children. He
did this secretly without wanting us to see that he was there. I peeped into
the room and saw the man lying on the bed completely naked. He was
apparently separated from his wife. Suddenly he disappeared.
I enquired at the local GP
waiting room to see if anyone had seen them and someone told me that they
left a message saying they wanted an anointing from us.
Meaning:
The man represents the WCG and the three children are offshoot churches.
Being black is a comparison with being a Gentile, and illustrates being
unconverted and evil.
The sudden disappearance
refers to the WCG's downfall through apostasy, members leaving, and its
failure to continue as an instrument in God’s hands.
Enquiring at the GP’s
(doctor's) is an allusion to the WCG’s spiritual sickness.
But they want the power
that God is giving us, hence they asked for anointing, but don’t want to pay
the price necessary to receive it. They don’t want to hang around us because
they are of a different spirit.
Can't Help People Who Don't
Want It
1st October 2002. H.
Trying to pull a barrow from a pit
Dream of trying to lift a
very heavy, long barrow from a deep pit. I used all my energy to try and
pull it out, but in the end I gave up.
Meaning:
This is a symbol of the person I tried to help, to try and get him out of a
spiritual pit. The person would not respond and didn't care to change. He
chose to carry on in his lifestyle of selfishness and fellowshipping with
people who were hostile to the gospel. What he wanted was more important
than God in his life. The devil made inroads into his life and he became
spiritually blind.
One Seed Which God Is
Nurturing
3rd October 2002. H.
Seed ready to grow
Dream of working in the
garden. One big bush had to be removed and underneath there was a big seed
ready to grow.
Meaning:
We received a letter from a young lady in the
Philippines
who wants to be baptised. She has been under the influence of a false
minister, symbolised by the bush in the dream, who has dominated her
thinking. His influence had to be removed by providing her with information
to expose the minister’s falsity and errors in teaching. As she sees the
truth which our literature expounds, she will be able to learn more about
God, imbibe the Holy Spirit, and grow spiritually.
Spiritual Battle Against
Authorities
5th October 2002. H.
Spiritual battle
Someone who was hostile
towards us was putting a gun to our head. There was a spiritual struggle
going on. In a vision I saw a seat of authority with several wild animals,
one of them a lion, getting agitated and aggressive. I had to resist them.
Meaning:
The wild animals represent demons who are in control in the world. They come
against us; one way is through people in jobs of power, like the police, and
who can use their power to find fault with others under false pretences.
Aggression and intimidation are in their means of operation.
Man Chooses What Is Foreign
9th October 2002. H.
Nuisance man learning
Japanese
A man we know tried to
learn Japanese. He was using a special pedal. When it was pressed it
produced the Japanese sounds. But it squeaked loudly, and he made himself a
nuisance by doing what he was doing.
Meaning:
This man is still following his self-willed ways. His learning Japanese is a
symbol of him wanting foreign influence, in other words, to be part of
unconverted society.
The loud squeaking is
symbolic of how he makes himself heard, exerting his dominance.
Changes Coming
At Buckingham Palace
12th October 2002. H.
Standards made central in
Buckingham
Palace
We found ourselves in the
Royal
Palace
in a large room. The Queen mother was on the stage prostrating herself.
Others were present. Then there were 'standards' (flags) hanging from the
ceiling in the corner of the room. We moved them to a central position.
Meaning:
The Queen mother has been the spiritual guide of the Royal family; an icon.
This idolatry has to go. She has to be brought low and God will replace
their idolatry with trust in Himself. God will be moved to centre stage and
He will be the spiritual standard.
MM In Some African
Countries
15th October 2002. H.
Parsley plants and pictures
of countries
Dream of several parsley
plants. Between the plants there were some pictures of countries or
continents. I chose those that were extra colourful and burnt them in the
fire. The other pictures I kept.
Meaning:
We have spent lots of money and time to reach certain countries in
Africa (represented by the bright colours). But the time has
come to move on to other countries to get the literature to them. The plants
represent people who are spiritually established and flourishing.
New House Coming
16th October 2002. H.
New house
We were settling into a new
house of medium size. The house was nothing special but was functional. When
I finished I noticed there was a familiar visitor sitting at the table,
sitting quietly. I wondered if I should give him something to eat.
Meaning:
To do with a friend, feeling at home with us, after previously not being at
one. It also confirms that MM will have a new place from which to operate,
despite the appearance that it looks totally impossible.
Abuse Of Children In
Society
17th October 2002. H.
Torture of children
Dream of demons torturing
children.
Meaning:
The dream is the realistic portrayal of the horrible abuse of children in
our society, whether it be sexual abuse or spiritual abuse. (There is so
much that is not seen!)
Ulrika Jonsson, Publicity &
Travel
18th October 2002. H.
Ulrika Jonsson
Dream of Ulrika Jonsson. I
felt like my life was similar to hers, in that I was in the public eye and
it brought great pressures into our family’s private life.
22nd October 2002. H.
Rushing out quickly to travel
While I was in the bathroom
some people arrived in the car. I had to rush out to deal with the
situation. I had to get ready quickly and go on a journey with the couple of
people to visit someone. One of the ladies stayed behind. I felt she was
someone famous. We soon returned. There was a young child in our midst.
Meaning:
God is warning how quickly things happen, and we are not always ready for
them. Many people will receive a witness about God and His power through
miracles.
29th October 2002. H.
Shifting gear to a higher level
Dream of slumber, then
shifting gear into a higher level of spirituality.
Meaning: We have
to be in a higher gear to go with the flow that God is going to pour out.
31st October 2002. H.
Huge scaffolding
Dream of a huge scaffolding
erected over the road (like a huge sloping roof). It was meant to protect
our property from the huge oak tree nearby. Bad weather conditions were
expected. Protruding through the scaffolding was a tower – construction was
underway and a building taking shape.
Meaning:
The bad weather reflects the turmoil in the world. The sheer size of the
scaffolding will draw attention to our work of spiritual reconstruction.
People won't be able to ignore it.
God is doing a work through
His Spirit which will bring changes to millions of lives here on earth.
Richard's Learning &
Restoration
2nd November 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Young boy learning.
Dream of a little boy who was playing with a wall light. I was showing him
how to switch it on.
Meaning:
Richard will become like a little boy. He will need help with how to receive
light from God. We have to help him to grow spiritually.
2) Coming out of a cocoon. He came out of a cocoon-like sleep. His eyes were opened and his mouth
was cleansed and purified.
Meaning: God will give him complete
restoration and healing.
Anticipating Future Beauty
3rd November 2002. H.
Planting crocuses
I was planting crocuses.
Meaning:
These plants represent people. We are going to see the beautiful results of
our labour later. But first there will be a delay.
Others Will Join 'Our' Team
8th November 2002. H. 2
Dreams.
1) Football team and
activities
Dream of many activities,
and being part of a football team. I recognised one of the players as Xxxxx
Xxxxx who was at college with us, but who left.
Meaning:
People will be brought together to face the opposition. There is a spiritual
battle going on. Through this God will bring people together for His
purposes.
Zenya's Flashing Light
2) Flashing light
Zenya had a flashing light
on her. It's hard to ignore a flashing light (what emergency services have).
Something will happen to her that will make her visible to others. God will
use her as a witness to others through things that will draw publicity.
Meeting A Vicar & Many
Other People
10th November 2002. H.
Changes to come
Meeting people, talking to
a vicar. I was feeding him food, beefburgers etc. I was shy in his company.
Richard
was at school, and I was asking about Richard's classroom.
Meaning:
I won't like the attention and publicity. The part about Richard means he
has a lot of spiritual growing to do to make up for all the lost time.
13th November 2002. H.
Tart on stage
I was mixing with many
people. I noticed one young woman who behaved like a tart. Some people got
lifted up on a platform above the other people, and the tart was there
behaving lewdly and exposing her bottom to others. I was furious and when
she came down I gave her a verbal lashing for behaving lewdly.
She was shaken by this and
ran off. I said to the group of people, "If you are meant to go for
somebody, then do it." [Because people don't understand confrontation and
they shy away from it.] I felt that President Bush was there. He had to deal
with unfinished business! [Become truly converted.]
Meaning:
Lately we have had dealings with someone from WCG who has thrown away their
spiritual garments – the truth. They elevate themselves, along with others,
and our job is to expose their nakedness. Other churches are equally guilty
of pride and arrogance, and false teaching.
Next Stage Of MM Comes
Fast
15th November 2002. H.
Kitchen redecorated
Dream of a visitor in my
kitchen slicing a tomato. I went to get a board for her but when I returned
the kitchen was redecorated and transformed instantly. There was no sink [no
washing to do – depicting that MM publications are clean and contain the
whole truth]. The walls were colourful and clean.
Meaning:
This new kitchen represents the next stage of the ministry, a fresh and new
beginning. A kitchen is a place for food preparation. We have a job of
feeding the church through literature which will prepare the church for the
tribulation and the return of Jesus Christ.
Not Much Time!
16th November 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Clock.
Vision of a clock indicating time is up!
Meaning:
We need to be ready for action.
People Released From Demons
2) Demonic person released
I saw the face of someone
influenced by demons. They are in bondage and when they hear the truth they
will be released.
Meaning:
It was a picture of a person being delivered from the devil. Our job will be
to release what God has given us so that people can be healed.
Great Injustice!
21st November 2002. H.
Angela Cannings
[Included in N20.] (I
watched a documentary on Angela Cannings, how she suffered the deaths of her
three children due to ‘cot death’, and then how she was charged by the
police and found guilty of their murder! She is now in jail, distraught and
suicidal, and there is an appeal for her release taking place this Friday.
She was innocent of the charge against her, but the police found fault with
her statements. They can be master tacticians, knowing how to get someone
incriminated by crafty presentation of facts and ‘evidence’.)
The dream showed how men in
power are taken over by demons and become harsh and accusing in their
judgement, and an abuse of power takes place as a result. (God is showing us
that when they come against us they will be abusive and evil in their
approach, too.) [See also p 108 about Angela.]
We were concerned about a
seven year old boy being caught up with the police authorities. Then someone
who was nearby said that he was just next door, safely asleep, and someone
helped him to get away.
A Publicity Deal
23rd November 2002. H.
Giving urine sample for
publicity
I was in the company of
unusual people. If I co-operated with someone in a publicity deal we would
be offered a free flat in a hotel. In the hotel I was expected to give my
urine sample on a regular basis. Someone in the hotel showed me great
affection and loyalty. I felt shy about it. I requested that, if possible,
could we have the flat on the ground floor?
Meaning:
There will be some benefits to the publicity but we are going to lose our
privacy. Everything we do will be analysed in detail. Some people will show
us moral support.
Having the flat on the
ground floor shows that we don't seek elevation. As I was in the company of
some people I was leaning towards one of them. Perhaps this shows that
someone will be helpful towards me and I will have their support.
Driving Our Vehicle Up A
Steep Hill
26th November 2002. H.
Moving uphill
Malcolm was driving a
vehicle up a steep hill. There was another vehicle in front of us which was
stationary and prevented us from moving forward. I was afraid that we might
roll backwards down the hill so I got out to see if I could push it. Somehow
we managed to get to the top of the hill. As we got to the top of the hill
there was a lake next to the sea.
Meaning:
It's difficult to make progress when there are obstacles in the way. The
lake represents the ministry’s growth and development in its outreach. The
sea is people this ministry will reach in the future.
Helena
Stirring A Big Pot
2nd December 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Herbal mixture.
There were lots of activities. I was stirring a big pot with a herbal
mixture of runny food.
Meaning:
This would be for cleansing, nourishing people who are waiting for spiritual
guidance and teaching. It depicts our ministry's efforts to promote God's
truths.
Someone Close To Us Will
Die
2) Neighbour's coffin.
There was a coffin in front of our house from a neighbour nearby. They
didn't have the room to keep it in their front garden.
Meaning:
Someone close to us will die. For God, all things will work together for
good, even through death.
Are You Sorting Out Your
Clothes?
3rd December 2002. H.
Hanging garments
A friend arrived in a small
car. Outside the car he put up his clothes stand. There were many garments
there hanging and he was busily tidying them.
Meaning:
Garments represent spiritual teaching and the truth which he has accepted as
a way of life.
Two Individuals Depicted
5th December 2002. H. 3
Dreams
1) Lion caught
Dream of a wild animal like
a small lion running around. People were afraid of it but I managed to chase
it and corner it, and deal with it.
Meaning:
A young man who became hostile and rebelled against God is going to receive
a new direction from God and a new life.
2) Horse rearing to go
I saw a horse, full of
strength, rearing to go. I tried to restrain it but eventually it went on
its journey.
Meaning:
This represents a person whom God is using to accomplish a job. He is
self-willed and needs taming.
Churches Full Of Sick
People
3) Preparing the apartment
I was trying to get the
apartment ready for the next job. Tonya tried to wash the carpets and they
needed to dry. [These preparatory things take time.]
I was aware of a big
building next door which looked like a hospital, full of sick people.
Meaning:
The sick people in the hospital represent Christians in churches. We have
teaching materials which can help them receive healing, so they are no
longer spiritually sick through false teaching. But before they can accept
these things, God will have to convince them by miraculous power that we
bring His truth.
Large & Small Ministries
Compared
7th December 2002. H. 2
Dreams
1) Dream of a tall tree.
There was a branch lower down that one could climb. Suddenly the branch fell
to the ground. I felt there could be some fuel through the logs from the
branch. The tree looked taller and unreachable. [God will cut back some
ministries that are too dominant like Morris Cerullo's.]
2) Small kitchen.
There was a house with people in it. I went in to see the kitchen. Although
it was small there was quite a bit of activity going on as food was being
prepared. The people were making the most of the situation.
Some People Really Need
Shaking!
9th December 2002. H.
Shaking a box
I was given a box with
something inside. I had to shake it really hard several times.
Meaning:
This represents people who need a good shaking for them to obey God. We have
known many people who have rebelled against God and have stepped back to
live their selfish lifestyle, in worshipping idols. God uses trials and
circumstances to give people a good shaking and to bring them to repentance
and obedience to God's laws.
Police & State Authorities
10th December 2002. H.
Strange chickens and dog
There were tall chickens
with little eyes and long beaks [for digging deep]. I also saw a dog with a
pig face and a hook at the end of its nose. [A really evil person whom we
will meet.]
Meaning:
These animals represent the authorities who have ways of attacking people by
picking on them.
Fuel For God's Revival
Fire!
11th December 2002. H.
Logs!
We took delivery of a huge
amount of logs. They covered a third of our field.
Meaning:
God will provide what we need. The logs are fuel and represent the
literature, fuel for God's revival fire!
We Are Put Under Media
Scrutiny
13th December 2002. H.
Photos at show
I saw a show with lots of
excitement, and photos being taken.
Meaning: This represents future
activities; what will take place, how we will be thrust under the media
spotlight.
Someone In
The Salvation Army
14th December 2002. H.
Baby with diarrhoea
I came into a building.
There were a number of small children, almost babies. I picked up one of the
smallest, but as soon as I picked him up, he started to have severe
diarrhoea.
I held up the baby near a
dirty pond. As soon as the baby recovered I held it and gave it some
attention. I felt it needed loving care. After a while I left it safely in
one of the beds. There was a made-up lady who looked like a business-woman
[depicts the Salvation Army organisation which has become just a business].
There was also a man [depicts church leadership] who didn't bother much
about the children [spiritual children].
Meaning:
The baby needed spiritual cleansing. This represents a young man with whom
we had contact from the Salvation Army.
MM Literature: Many
Decisions
15th December 2002. H.
Logs
Dream of working things out
to do with the logs. There were many decisions to be made about a programme
to do with the logs.
Meaning: This represents the literature
programme.
Revival
16th December 2002. H.
Giving water
We were both in bed when
someone knocked on the door. We had no privacy! I noticed someone was
sleeping in our bedroom in the corner. I filled up a big container with
water for people to drink from it. People were very keen to drink from it.
All the water was consumed.
Meaning:
We are going to lose our privacy and we have to open our house to strangers!
God will make people thirsty to drink of the Holy Spirit and we have to make
the literature available for people to be nourished.
MM Outreach Expands
Overseas
19th December 2002. H.
Buying visa
I went to buy a visa for
£30.
Meaning:
This shows we're reaching out abroad and that will expand. God is opening up
doors for His truth to reach more people and to prepare the Church.
Profit Motive In Church
Renewal
20th December 2002. H.
New property with old window
I was looking at the new
property. The builder had done a good job, except he didn't change the old
window and left that for the next owner. He only did the minimum he had to
do in order to get the profit he wanted.
Meaning:
This is an allegory. Like builders tend to do the minimum to properties and
to maximise their profits, so does the Church. In accepting changes, they
don't want to accept the completely new doctrinal outlook that we bring,
which involves keeping God's Sabbaths and festivals, because it would not
bring them the profit they want. It would lose them members.
MM's Solid Truth
21st December 2002. H.
Solid turkey
I was given a bag of solid
turkey meat which I took care of. There was a big bus going out on a
journey. I was taking care of a little girl who needed cleaning up.
Meaning:
Meat represents the solid Christian teaching which we are looking after and
want to share with others. The bus represents MM's work which will reach
into more countries.
The influence of the world
and our friends makes believers unclean, and they need to be purified like
the girl in the dream.
Preparing For The Revival
Coming
25th December 2002. H.
Large hall
I saw a huge meeting place,
so big you couldn't measure it! I put a big container in one of the boxes
and secured the side doors. Malcolm and I went outside and prepared a rubber
floor covering [needed if you have many people coming in and out] and
brought it into the hall. All of these preparations are necessary in order
to accommodate many people.
Donal was at the side
trying to help.
26th December 2002. H.
Preparations
We were making practical
preparations for people who will respond and will need help and teaching.
Many People Reject The
Truth
27th December 2002. H.
Defending the literature
from faultfinders
I was aware of people being
critical of what they read, they were being negative and faultfinding. I was
trying to defend myself saying that the literature is very accurate and
truthful but they were not listening. These people are confused, fearful and
don't know their own minds.
Malcolm Pricked By A Needle
28th December 2002. H. 4
Dreams
1) Malcolm pricked himself
with a needle. He felt frustrated with the pain, and I couldn't help him
with it.
Meaning:
Some situations are painful and frustrating but you just have to grin and
bear it. Suffering is part of the course.
It's Difficult Cooking
Porridge Below Ground
2) Cooking porridge
I was cooking some porridge
in a pot on a cooker which was several feet deep in a hole. This proved to
be difficult. (Have you ever tried cooking like that?)
Meaning:
Our job is as difficult as the above allegory and it costs us dearly to
provide good spiritual food for people.
Billy Connolly
3) Billy Connolly.
I was sitting next to Billy Connolly. He was very still and I felt warmth
coming from him.
Meaning:
God is showing that he will respond to God even though he's a man of the
world now.
Young Woman And This Evil
World
4) Witch.
I saw a young woman's face. She looked like a witch and had horrible
features. [This imagery was used to draw an association between the young
woman's behaviour and the ways of this evil world that she needs to
renounce.]
Meaning:
God was showing the ways of the world. Friends and the pulls of the flesh
are used by the devil to bewitch us and take our eyes away from God. Any
loyalty to anything other than God is idolatry, and that has to be smashed
from our lives.
The Inflexible System Of
British Law
30th December 2002. H. 3
Dreams
1) Head set in concrete.
Head of a leader, someone in authority, was rigid and set in concrete. God
is going to crush it!
God Portrays Some People's
Traits
2) Rhino.
I saw a bull terrier change to a rhino.
Meaning:
This symbolises someone's character. Rhinos are slow and bull like,
unyielding and very thick-skinned, almost as if they were armoured. They
want to be left alone and some people are like that.
3) Girls steal an ear-ring
An older girl and a younger
girl were staying with us. Zenya came in and said that they had left during
the night without saying goodbye and that they had taken an earring with
them.
Meaning:
These represent two individuals we tried to help but they don't want to
accept the help and won't respond because of fear and stubbornness. They
took something valuable with them; they know we have spiritual treasures but
are not willing to give us the credit or remuneration due.
Africans Want Us To Take
Care Of Them
31st December 2002. H.
Cows wanting to be tethered
As I was driving by, I saw
some cows grazing. When they saw me the cows started to move towards me as
they wanted to be tethered to a stake.
Meaning:
Cows represent individuals or churches that want someone to take care of
them and support them with money. This is a selfish approach. Instead of
people helping us, they expect to receive support from us. [Tanzania, Kenya,
etc.]
God Says MM Is In The Lead
26th Oct 2002. M. 1)
The bobsleigh race
In this race, all the
bobsleighs were on the track at the same time (in real life, they do not
compete like this; they perform singly, and are timed to determine who
wins).
In this dream we were in
front – ahead of all the other contenders for the title. It showed us as the
winners.
Meaning:
Symbolic of the truths we bring to the Church.
Ripping Up The Ground Upon
Which Sunday Worship Is Based
2)
I saw a set of stone steps. It was a wide staircase that you would see in a
public place, like leading up to a museum or art gallery [well established
institutions]. I didn’t see the number of steps, but there may have been 7.
At the top there was a big
board of plywood or similar man-made building material. (It was no place for
a board!)
I ripped it up, which left
its fixings exposed. These were long nails, which were now pointing upwards
menacingly, sharp end uppermost! They had been set in concrete, to hold the
board in place. They protruded through some old fashioned Marley tiles
(these were plastic coated man-made floor tiles, about ¼ inch thick or less,
which were commonly used on concrete floors in the sixties). They were now
split and broken. What a mess!
Some could have blamed me
for creating this mess, but it was no place for the board to be. It should
never have been there in the first place! The solution, while it would take
some effort, is to lift the old Marley tiles, and grind off the nails at
floor level. Then, we would be back to the original intended base at the top
of the flight of stairs.
Meaning:
An allegory of the disruption that will occur from introducing the truth
about the true Sabbath and removing the man-made tradition of Sunday
worship. It takes some effort!
Nigerian Fraudsters
27th Oct 2002. M.
About a minister in
Nigeria
A man was lying in the
road, made to look like he had been run over. But it was a set-up, a con, to
try and trick me into giving help. Then a person got in touch with me and
tried to persuade me to come to Nigeria, to help them out. He insisted I
came! He tried to use this ‘accident’ as leverage to lure me. But, of
course, I’m a bit wise to the cunning and deceit that Nigerians (and other
Africans) often use to extract money and assistance out of ‘gullible’
westerners.
Meaning:
The dream is to highlight evil spiritual character traits in many Africans,
who try to extract funds from us, thinking that we are well off and can give
them money (which we can't). They use deceit and cunning. They should
practice Eph 4:15,25.
The Spiritual Pond Has Run
Dry!
2nd Nov 2002. M. The
pond has run dry!
After praying for
revelation about one person’s ministry situation in the USA, I was given
this dream of a pond. Actually it was almost two ponds. There was a pond at
a higher level, which narrowed into a neck where it joined onto another pond
at a lower level. Before I saw this scene, we were at the front of our
house. God gave this imagery to connect what He is doing here through MM
with what has happened in the drained ponds.
The ponds represent what He
has been doing through the waters of His Spirit and Word in:
1) the Sunday-keeping
sector of the Church, and
2) the Sabbath-observing
part.
But the water in these
ponds had drained away and all that was left was thick sticky mud – not a
place where you would want to be.
I saw a man walking away
out of this mud. This was Jesus walking away from the situation.
In one corner of the lower
pond, there was a little bit of water left and two geese were standing
there, robust and ‘proud’ (as geese behave). It looked like they were intent
on staying put.
Meaning:
The people represented in this dream were in contact with us and we accepted
them, but they didn't fully accept us or the message we bring. Their pride
got in the way.
Disgusting Christians!
3rd Nov 2002. M. The
toilet
In this dream I walked into
a public toilet. It was a large building and there seemed to be a lot of
people there. I wanted to have a leak, and I thought the most private place
was a cubicle, so I went into one and began to close the door.
I noticed that there was no
lock on the door and before I had shut it, a fella pushed it open and came
in. I thought “OK, bud, what sort of joker are you?!” With a grin, he
claimed it was his space and that I had no right to be in his domain, so I
left without argument.
I passed by the wash
basins, and was horrified by what I saw next. Someone had defecated on the
top of the wash basin (not even in it!) and left two huge lumps of
excrement, each about nine inches long. It was disgusting! I thought of
clearing it up, but then thought again. It was not my responsibility, but
someone else’s, so I left.
Meaning:
The toilet is an allegory of the Christian Church because it is the place
where people can get their lives cleaned up, and get rid of waste (sin). The
excrement left by someone who obviously just didn’t care, depicts the
depravity of some ‘believers’ who are no better than animals. They are
certainly not Christian! They are so selfish, they have no concern for
others, and live their lives only considering themselves. The huge size of
what he left behind portrays the person’s greed.
The incident in the
cubicle, where I was not welcome, depicts how others don’t want us around.
They consider their church, denomination or group to be theirs, and take the
approach that I have no right to be there. They don’t want a visit from a
prophet.
Dream also significant and
applicable to one individual from Lincs who called today. Hence given at
this time.
It's Silly Trying To Hide
4th Nov 2002. M. A rabbit
(FJB) tried to hide in our seed-trays (represents our work of producing
literature, which can propagate spiritual seed). It was stupidly trying to
burrow beneath the soil in one of them. The seed-trays were all surrounded
by water (symbolises the Spirit of God surrounding us). A cat (R) killed the
rabbit. It was not a pretty sight. There was another tiny baby rabbit in
this dream. I picked it up and just tossed it casually onto one side, where
there were a couple of other ones waiting to be dealt with by the cat.
Meaning:
The rabbit depicts someone we know, who has tried to hide by not responding
properly to my letters, and by ignoring the spiritual issues we raise. But
this is folly. God sees, and He tells us about him anyway.
Richard is the cat in this
dream. What will happen to him will wake this man up and cause him to repent
and turn fully to God.
Close To God's High Voltage
Power
5th Nov 2002. M. In this
dream, I was putting up scaffold boards [represents MM literature] very
close to some high voltage power lines. They were so close – only
millimetres away! Someone else saw this and remarked at what a dangerous
situation it was. To them it was a hazard!
Meaning:
'Our' message is one which takes people as close as humans can get to the
realm of God and His power.
A Friend Asks For Help
8th Nov 2002. M. 2 dreams.
1) Cxxxxn. It seemed that the IR was giving him some stick, and
wanting more tax out of him.
Meaning:
It may have a literal fulfilment, but also it may depict the fact that God
requires more from such CoG people.
2)
In the second dream, Someone was wanting me to assist him in his work. He
was doing some fiddly work, trying to cut a slender drill bit which was only
about ½ inch long. He asked me to pass him the pliers. I looked around but
couldn’t see them at first. I felt a bit incompetent and lacking confidence
in such an area [this ministry work to which I am called is not something
which I personally want; humanly I feel inadequate]. Then I saw the pliers
and passed them to him. He wanted me to do something else to assist him,
too, but I didn’t see what it was.
Meaning:
God is saying these CoG people need our help.
Scotland Yard's Tiger
Attacks
12th Nov 2002. M. The
tiger attacks!
I saw a tiger in the
distance, but it didn’t look like it would do much. But then, suddenly, it
attacked me ferociously! The attack was horrific and extremely hard to
defend myself from.
Meaning:
Scotland Yard’s ferocious and malicious attack which they are preparing to
mount against me. The attack is unwarranted and unjustified, merely because
I have had contact with someone they consider a criminal.
God is warning about it
beforehand, because He sees the evil motives behind their behaviour. They
have a suspicious, fault-finding approach, and want to find me guilty of
something. The old precept that a man is innocent until proven guilty has
gone out of the window in far too many cases of British ‘justice’. In our
case, this attack is not objective, but is the outgrowth of a desire of the
investigating officer(s) to incriminate me. Perhaps the motive is one of
seeking promotion. Certainly, it is an evil motive, which is why God
forewarned me in a dream.
[See Police and
Persecution in Newsletter 20, pages 20-23, and also N20 pp 24-25.]
We Have Little Support
14th Nov 2002. M. 2 dreams
1) There was a large crowd of people coming together for a rally or
convention in some big city. I went there on my bike, but all the others had
come by public transport or a more conventional means.
Meaning: A picture
of our ministry, and the effort we have to put out to keep it going
(symbolised by the bicycle), compared with other ministries who have
‘public’ support.
MM Smoothes Out Errors
2) I was rendering or
plastering walls. There was a large area to be covered, and a machine was
necessary to do the job to level it out smooth. The more it was ‘floated’ (a
term plasterers use for levelling it), the wetter it became.
Meaning:
The work we are doing in the spiritual. Analogy of helping people to put a
smooth surface on their rough spiritual walls by providing more truth. The
more you use the words of God in life, the more the Holy Spirit comes to the
surface. (We had a letter today from a man in the
Philippines
who is doing much to apply the ‘plaster’ to the walls of the Church!)
Freddie Ljundberg
15th Nov 2002. M. Freddie
Ljundberg (an Arsenal footballer) wins £7 million. It was a bet, and he got
a word right and won this huge amount of money from the bookies. In some
way, Ollie (Z’s friend) benefited from it, too.
Meaning:
Possibly shows the inequality in this world, where a few privileged people
who don’t care about God get plenty of money.
God Tells Us Of Zimbabwean
Coming
17th Nov 2002. M. A very
young child was cuddling up to Helena and me, as we were travelling along on
a train. Another toddler came and jumped up onto our laps and made himself
at home. He was very dark skinned. As black as the ace of spades, with broad
features like Morgan Tsvangirai, the Zimbabwean opposition leader.
Meaning:
About two people who got in touch with us here. The second individual came
from Zimbabwe. He met us for the first time in January 2003.
Pride In Many Africans
19th Nov 2002. M. A
seducer and Africans
A dream of a young woman
who wanted me to make love to her (symbolic of a wrong spiritual approach,
not literal physically). When I declined, she went after someone else and
sought his favours.
Before this, in the dream,
I saw a building where a number of young men came out all dressed in a
typical African coloured robe, rejoicing and showing off their robes, as
they paraded out in single file. Then, a column of young women did likewise.
They were very proud of their robes in which they were dressed.
Meaning:
The adulterous woman represents someone to whom I had to write about his
need to find and accept the truth on Law and Grace. The other people depict
the African outreach and how it is bearing fruit. People there are more open
in their acceptance of Christianity than here, but their approach regarding
promoting the things of God can tend to be proud.
Britain's
Prosecutors & Oppressors
21st Nov 2002. M. A man was
calling out numbers: “3”; “5”; “12”; “36”, etc. When these were called out
at random, completely arbitrarily, that number of people lost their freedom,
and they were either killed or victimised in some serious way.
I stood watching this,
aghast! It was stupid, inane, unreal and pointless! At the call or command
of one man – simply because HE decided – they lost their individual rights.
As I stood there numb,
watching this bizarre scene unfold, he saw me standing there and shouted to
me, “And you; yes you! You too!” And, without any recourse, without any
means of defending myself against this unfair and brutal rule, I had to
comply. Then the dream ended.
Meaning:
A caricature of the prosecution service and police power that has gone mad
in this country as in many other lands.
[Also included in N20, pp
20-25.]
Angela’s Trial
Last night (20th Nov 2002), at
10.35pm, BBC1 featured a
programme entitled Angela’s Trial. It was a documentary about the
travesty of justice surrounding the Angela Cannings case. She was a mother
who lost three young children to cot death, over the space of several years.
She was heartbroken and perplexed. But the police decided that she was
guilty of their murder, and incredibly, the court was persuaded by the
prosecution’s argument to pronounce a “guilty” verdict.
Helena
had a dream last night, also, in which she was shown that certain
individuals in the police force have been taken over by an evil power, and
have gone power mad. She saw a face of a man, which she knew to be the face
of authority. It became taken over by demons; it became very hard and rigid.
This is not a situation where just one or two have become crazed, but many.
But, as Lord Acton said to
Bishop Creighton, “power corrupts and absolute power tends to corrupt
absolutely.” And some police officers are evil, and are not seeking fairness
and justice. They are exerting power with intimidation, coercion and
manipulation, using these evil tactics and fear to pursue their wicked
agenda.
Court hearings, instead of
being fair, are oftentimes merely psychological contests between prosecution
and defence – two mentalities fighting for supremacy, not for justice;
trying to press their case, irrespective of the true facts – the defendant a
helpless victim, trapped in the middle.
Invariably, police
prosecution will ignore facts and truth from witnesses, preferring to
presume the defendant guilty. Then, based on their presumption, they use
their power of heavy persuasion to sway the minds of jurors, slanting facts,
and emphasising minor points of no real relevance, in order to
psychologically cajole jurors into thinking that the police have superior
judgement and discernment. Many miscarriages of justice have occurred
because of this abuse of police power. The Angela Cannings case is only one,
albeit a very tragic one.
Her life and the life of
her husband have been ruined because she was wrongly found guilty. The worst
thing a caring mother could ever be accused of, is that she murdered her own
children! On top of the agony of bearing that false accusation, she has to
face a sentence of life imprisonment, separated from her husband who needs
her support (and she from his). Terry Cannings suffered a nervous breakdown,
lost his home, and lost his job because of the effects of the stress he
suffered through this police brutality.
That’s what it is – police
brutality – which is what the dream from God last night conveyed. There was
no real care, no true concern, shown for the people involved. Without any
consideration of the effects on others of their arbitrary decisions, the man
in power was dictating HIS orders.
We are supposed to live in
a democracy, which originally meant government of the people, for
the people, by the people. But, we
have ended up in what is effectively a multi-faceted dictatorship, where
many ‘little’ dictators assert their asinine authority over others, without
love or concern for them, without care for true justice, with merely a
demented wielding of power for power’s sake.
These dictators are found
in local government, regional government, as well as the police force.
Wherever power is wielded, you find these Hitlers, abusing power without
true consideration to the moral issues which should underlie its exercise.
The greatest moral consideration which should undergird the exercise of
judicial power is love – true care and consideration for others, based upon
what is morally right and virtuous. THAT is now nearly extinct in this land
because it has THROWN OUT God and His law for man!
[Since this account was
written in 2002, Angela Cannings' case received the attention it deserved,
and she was finally released two years later! But there are still many
others like her incarcerated unjustly in jail!]
Helena’s
dream of 21st Nov: She saw a face of a man, which she knew to be the face of
authority. It became taken over by demons, very hard and rigid. We were
concerned about a little boy who was stuck in a difficult situation to do
with the authorities. Then I heard a man from another room say, “Oh, we’ve
got him here.” So, he managed to escape somehow. Someone was looking after
him.
Those Who Harbour
Antagonism Against Us
23rd Nov 2002. M. I was
driving down a two-lane road, and tried to overtake another car. But the
driver got upset by my overtaking him. As I tried to come past, he leaned
out of his window and waved a newspaper cutting at me.
On the newspaper page was a
picture of Windsor Castle and the road alongside that palace belonging to
the Royals. It also seemed that I was driving down that road where the man
showed his antagonism.
Meaning:
Other preachers and churchmen, especially church leaders and ministry
leaders, don’t like us moving ahead spiritually, and wanting to ‘overtake’
them. But that is what our literature does for those who accept the truths
therein.
The man represents some of
these people, and the hostility which they harbour against us for what we
have been commissioned by God to do.
Why are they hostile?
Because they lack humility and want to be 'number one', as Diotrephes did (3
Jn 9,10).
Church Leaders Shut The
Door
25th Nov 2002. M. The
Christian Convention
We were ‘at’ a Christian
retreat, which began at the week-end for a few days. The dream conveyed that
we had to work for our ‘keep’, however. [This highlights our lack of
support, in contrast to theirs.]
The next part of the dream
showed Zenya [our younger daughter, aged 18 in 2002], dressed in a pale
turquoise suit. She was really smart. Then, I saw a preacher, enthusiastic
in his preaching. As a result of the way Zenya was, he preached about the
destruction coming (although I wasn’t shown how this came about), but he
said that the whole world would be engulfed in war in 10 years’ time.
In the next scene, a
sizeable group of people were gathered on a lawn in a nice setting. But they
were all looking in one direction only, taking no notice of what God was
doing elsewhere, which was far more important. They all followed like sheep;
they went in the direction that looked most sensible from a human
perspective – the direction that their leaders had pointed them.
Effectively, they were being led astray.
Meaning:
I didn’t know what the dream meant until we opened the morning post. The
dream concerns World Harvest Christian Centre, an association or
organisation run by Wale Babatunde. A glossy four-colour flyer advertising
their up-coming conference came in the post today. This is the Christian
‘retreat’ in the dream. As I prayed this morning, God showed me that I
should write to them and send them some pieces of our literature. [I have
been shown by the Spirit what to send, and these 23 publications are
enclosed.]
But the dream conveys that
they aren’t listening to the prophets God is raising up to do the short,
sharp work at this end time. They are not aware of how God is going to raise
the dead to jettison His Work into prominence. They are seeking prominence
for themselves. They want to be seen and heard, because they think they
have valuable input for the Church. They are intent on promoting themselves.
But God promotes those whom He has called and chosen for the end-time task
of ‘Elijah’. His means of putting them in the limelight will be through
raising the dead. Those who seek prominence for themselves are not seeking
prominence for Jesus. They could end up being false prophets, if they are
not very careful!
Our younger daughter,
Zenya, helps us out in our office, sending literature and doing other
necessary office work. She figures very prominently in God’s plans to reach
this nation. (More will be explained about this in the future. It’s not the
right time to elaborate on this, but there is much more significance about
why she figured prominently in the dream, particularly with regard to the
turquoise suit, which is a symbol of beautiful heavenly garments.)
The world conflagration in
10 years’ time is a false prophecy, a human prediction, which illustrates
that the prophetic stuff they are receiving is a mixture, tainted by error –
ideas of men (biblically, 10 is the number of man). Like the message from
Satan in the Garden in
Eden,
it’s truth mixed with error. Who wants that?! Apparently, many do, because
the dream showed all the people going the wrong direction, away from what
God is doing, following in the direction which their teachers are leading
them.
The spacious lawn in lovely
surroundings depicts Ashburnham Place in Sussex, where they are holding
their meetings.
As I was praying this
morning, God also reminded me of what Jesus said about human nature being
evil. “If you, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children....” Why did He remind me of this? Because many believers look at
Christian leaders and think that they are well-meaning. They assume that
they have laudable motives, because they are preaching Christ and are
running their independent ministries. But what God sees is very much
different! They are only listening to the Spirit in part. They only want to
hear what God has to say which will bolster their ministries, or support
their present doctrinal positions. They don’t want to turn around, and do
something totally different. They don’t want to accept the ‘new’ truth which
God is presenting to the Church and the nation at this time – which He will
do through raising people to life who have been dead for years!
Their motive is selfish –
they seek to be noticed and heard. Even if not intentionally, they promote
and elevate themselves. That’s why you see their faces on a glossy colour
brochure, advertising their event which they want you to attend and pay them
for the privilege of attending! That’s a human way of doing things. It’s
what unconverted advertisers do in this world, to try and get your
attention. But God works differently. He gets people’s attention by
supernatural means.
How did Jesus get people’s
attention? Was it by human advertising, or miraculous power and situations
which God set up?
Compare the way they
operate with the way those whom God has called to front-line evangelism
operate (a good example of this is in Like A Mighty Wind by Mel Tari,
about the Indonesian revival), and you can readily see which is of God and
which is of man.
These ministries (and there
are many of them who operate like this) call their seminar or get-together a
‘conference’, but it’s not really a conference. In a conference people
confer; they exchange views. There is a level playing ground. There is an
opportunity for a free exchange of views to take place and for open
discussion to occur. However, if we were to turn up, and try to open up the
floor for the exchange of 'our' [God's] views to occur, we would either be
shut up, ignored, or shown the door! This has happened before, so I know
whereof I speak.
No, it’s not a conference.
It’s a platform for them to promote their ministries, their theology, their
agenda. They want you to accept them as their spiritual leaders.
That’s why they call the event. They want to promote themselves. They are
making a living out of what they are doing, and they want you to support
their effort, so they can continue to pursue their goal.
Don’t be deluded by
people’s approach. It may look good, even though it is compromised by
humanistic philosophy. Remember Jesus’ words: “If you, being evil....” (Matt
7:11). They may
have a picture with a nice smiling face, and words of approbation
underneath, extolling their ministerial credentials, giving them great
acclaim. They may herald themselves as ‘watchmen’ or ‘prophets’, ‘operating
in a strong prophetic and apostolic anointing’, etc., but have they truly
heard from God or are they merely trying to, or hoping to hear from Him as
they pursue their own ends and agenda? Did He really send them with a
commission and a specific message for the people, or have they just run of
their own accord, hopeful to get acclaim for themselves?
Be not deceived, the human
mind, even that which has been touched by the Spirit of God at times, can be
very devious and deceitful! (Jer 17:9.) Are they selflessly promoting Jesus
and the truth of God, or are they using what they know of Jesus and the
truth of God to build their own empire?
The Pharisees in Jesus’ day
went over sea and land to make just one convert! (Matt 23:15.) They put out
a lot of effort in their bid to influence people’s minds. But they were
self-motivated. They wanted elevation, too. And they got it.... for a while.
But when the Spirit of God blew in, they blew out!
How many ministries there
are in our day who will go the same way when God turns up the heat! They
can’t see that their modus operandi is laced with pride, arrogance and
self-will. There is presumption written all over their advertising
campaigns. And as long as they are in that mode, they won’t hear from God,
or do many wonderful works for Him.
True
prophets are sent by God, appointed by Him, not by men. They are certainly
not self-appointed and their motive is not one of seeking attention for
themselves, but for the message from God which they bring. And that message,
although full of spiritual goodies, is harsh and uncompromising in its
flavour. God’s prophets are hardly accepted at all in our hedonistic,
self-seeking age. Like it was with Jesus, what they have to say is rejected.
It is unacceptable.
Jesus did not say what He
did for effect, or to gain a following. That was not His motive. He didn’t
try His utmost to get people to follow Him. He cared only about conveying
the truth of God.
Jesus did not seek
attention; the attention came to Him, because of the power of God working
through Him, because He was commissioned from Above. So, it will be when the
dead are raised through 'our' ministry. People don’t want what we are
saying, because we have the unadulterated truth of God. Only the minority
want it. Only those who are truly seeking truth, who are humble, who have no
airs and graces, who are not living a sham. Those few accept it, and when
they find more truth through our publications, they rejoice and accept the
purity of God’s Word into their lives, changing the way they live. Revival
occurs, and they are built up and their lives transformed.
They don’t go to a
conference of men, paying them for the privilege! As they learn from our
publications, which expound the truths of God that the Church doesn’t want
to accept, they can open up to the Spirit of God, and He comes in and
transforms them. I don’t need to be lifted up on a platform in front of
them. They can read what the Holy Spirit has had me write and totally ignore
who the human instrument was. And that’s good, because the more man gets
lifted up in any move of God, the more God’s Spirit withdraws to the
shadows.
Who is “preparing
the Church for such a time as this?” (Motto on World Harvest Christian
Centre’s advertising brochure.) I can tell you it’s not the ones whom
most think. It’s not the recognised ones. It’s the Elijahs of our day who
have next to no human support, who are virtually all alone, but who have the
resurrection power of God behind them.
So what’s the sign of such
prophets today? It’s those who have prophesied of resurrecting the dead –
people who have been long dead – not just dead for minutes, but for days,
weeks, months and even years! This is the sign we have given the Church
since 1992. (Recounted in our first volume of Dreams and Visions From God.)
The appropriate response to
a sign from God is to believe and accept His prophets. Then you can benefit
from the new thing God is doing today and comprehend the message they bring
from the Throne of God.
Today, it’s really very
little different from the way things were in Jesus’ day. He contested with
the religious leaders then about their hypocrisy and sham. He called them
vipers and worse! It sounded slanderous, but it was not. His accusations
against them were true!
Religious leaders today
display similar hypocrisy and sham. Too many do not lead people to God, but
to follow THEM! And the people don’t see it, because the transfer of
loyalties is so subtle. Jeremiah prophesied of this debacle:
An astonishing and horrible
thing has been committed in the land: the prophets
[leaders who claim God is
directing them] prophesy falsely, and the priests [the teachers of
God’s Word; church leaders] rule by their own power; and My people love
to have it so (Jer
5:31, NKJV).
So, God sends out a
prophetic cry to alert the Virgins to the fact that all are asleep to this
disastrous spiritual situation. Sleep depicts deception. The Midnight Cry
goes out at this late hour, as the world and Church approaches its darkest
time in history. (Explained in The Ten Virgins.)
[The above account was also
included in the leaflet Church Leaders Shut The Door On Jesus! which
also contains further information.]
Two New Suits
30th Nov 2002. M. New
suits
Helena
had obtained two new suits for me in the sales (not real, this is symbolic).
They were dark charcoal with a delicate, thin red check pattern; very smart.
They were reduced to £150.
In the next scene I saw
someone else wearing one of my suits. He was standing in a long queue of
people, waiting in the shop. But he was not facing the counter, the
direction others were looking, he was facing the other way, towards us. He
was a stocky, well-built fellow. (I wonder if this is Michael Howard?)
In the next scene, I was
doing something else with a vehicle, and had a small pool of petrol on top
of the load. Exx was there with a new suit on, which had also been reduced
in the sales from £170 to £140. It was green and looked very smart. But he
was waving a lighted paper around. It was so dangerous with the petrol
nearby. I shouted at him to stop being so stupid.
Then there were other
scenes of things to be done, grass to be mowed in a churchyard next to
someone else’s property, etc.
Meaning:
Suits represent something which God has given; something spiritual; an
anointing or covering for His purposes.
While the suits clothe us
with God's power and abilities for the sake of reaching others with His
message, they do bring the wearer some honour, and identify him to others.
(You will know a prophet by his fruits. In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus tells how
to identify false prophets. True prophets, conversely, are recognised by
their good fruits and by what God does with them or says about them to
others who are receptive to His Spirit.)
Two leaflets (amongst other
publications) contain input from God, showing that I do not come to promote
myself, but that I speak for God, especially in MM publications: Viz.
Revelations From God About MM; and What God Said About MM.
Exclusivism & Pride Are
Blinding
4th Dec 2002. M. 5 dreams
1) Of
Axxxxx Cxxxson’s group
It was a ‘motley crew’, a
diverse group of people. They were all sitting in one room and didn’t want
to go out of that room. [Depicts how they are exclusively loyal to one
ministry, to a man who is a false 'prophet'. Exclusivism is an outgrowth of
pride. It is a serious sin.]
While there, I tried to
evoke some positive response, but there was none. A boy [a very spiritually
immature person] threw a drink around, making a mess. He was behaving in a
delinquent, stupid manner. Clearly there was no evidence of disciplined true
Christian living here. I saw no fruit of the Spirit and so I left.
Outside, I was taken away
in the Spirit on something like a trapeze. It was a fantastic ride, but I
had to hold on tight. My right hand nearly gave way at one point. The sky
and clouds were whizzing by overhead, and things were flying past as I moved
along at considerable speed on this thing empowered by the Spirit. It was
exhilarating! [This depicts the supernatural outpouring from God which will
transform our ministry and cause a lot to happen in a short time. Updating
this in April 2005, it depicts much that has already happened now.]
The Church Of Colin
Urquhart
2) Of a church founded by
Colin Urquhart in Australia
It had become big. Many
people were drawn to it, probably because of the miracles God had performed.
That attracted people to it. But there was a big problem. It was fast
becoming a church of
Colin Urquhart,
not a church of Jesus Christ.
Through what had happened,
Colin was drawing attention to himself. And people felt they needed to
belong to his church, which is wrong. This imbalance can only be
corrected through proper teaching. [This is provided in our book God’s
Church – Whose Authority?.]
Big Brother Madness & Jimmy
White
3)
Jimmy White (an internationally known snooker player, and recognised
as a decent honest fellow) was wanted by the police. They sought to charge
him for something rather petty and unclear how it was in violation of the
law. It was something to do with the white frontage of a house. The windows
had been altered – made a different size. You could see the new small
horizontal-slit windows and white paint around them which was now much
whiter than the original white wall. For some reason the authorities found
fault with this. I couldn’t help but think, “What is society coming to?!
This is nit-picking and loss of freedom under the Orwellian Big Brother.”
The Price Helena Pays In
Ministry
4)
Helena and I were at our entrance, beside the main road, waiting to pull out
and turn right. Nothing was coming immediately from the left, but there was
a big lorry coming from the right. However, I saw I had just enough time to
get out before him, so I pulled out safely and accelerated away. But this
left Helena behind.
Meaning:
This indicates that to do what is to come in this ministry, she will not see
as much of me as before. Perhaps it indicates much more individual aspects
in ministering to others.
What Makes Prayer Succeed
5)
A man came up to me and asked me to pray for a friend of his who was very
sick. I looked over my shoulder to see the infirm young man. He was standing
facing another man, which represents the ministry to which he looks and is
loyal. He didn’t come to me like his friend did, asking for help. I refused
to pray for him. I told the inquirer that prayer is not a formula or magic
ritual for releasing people from sickness. People can be healed as they
surrender their lives to God. That yielding to God in the spirit is the
basis of proper prayer, so miracles and healings take place as people sort
their lives out before God.
Presumably the man had come
to ask me because he had seen so many others healed in our ministry. But I
told him that Jesus only spent a few percent of His time attending to the
sick, praying for them or healing them. He spent something like 90% of His
ministry time teaching them. I told the man to tell his friend to get his
mind transformed by the teachings we publish. Then he could expect healing.
The dream illustrates how
people tend to look to the minister whom they see performing miracles or
delivering people from demons and sicknesses, instead of to God who is the
One behind such feats.
For people to really come
into the presence of God and know His love, they have to accept the full
teaching of the gospel God makes available. They must not be loyal to their
church, or their ministry, or their minister. They must accept the whole
counsel of God – all available truth from God.
Fired Up Against Jim
Rector!
5th Dec 2002. M. The
Fire
I was in a pleasant open
space like a village green. Our car [symbolises our ministry] was there and
I was copying some tapes in the car. Suddenly a conflagration erupted in the
car and we rushed to grab hold of a hose to put the fire out. It was quite a
large fire!
Meaning:
This dream was fulfilled in a verbal conflagration that ignited between me
and Jim Rector in the USA. Jim R had plagiarised my book God's Church –
Whose Authority? He read whole sections of it on a tape he made in 1996
entitled Who Is The Greatest? but he gave no credit to me whatsoever.
He didn't even mention to his audience where any of his material came from,
or where they could obtain a copy of my book. He was using my material and
taking all the credit for himself. [The WCG has done similarly with material
from MM publications.]
I wrote to him about this
and encouraged him to make the appropriate restitution of the wrong. I asked
him to either send me his mailing list so that we could send them each a
copy of that book (I didn't ask him to bear any costs), or to offer it to
them on one of his regular tapes. But he refused. He shut the door on them,
so he was in full control (an indicator of someone who is motivated by an
evil spirit).
Instead of rectifying his
misdemeanour against me (and against his mailing list) he then ruthlessly
attacked me on a tape he made on 22nd February 1997. I subsequently made a
series of three audio tapes as a rebuttal of his false claims (The Truth
About Jim Rector). But those went to so few on his mailing list –
because we obviously had no way of reaching most of those people – that they
still remain to be released and to know the full truth that has been denied
them.
The more recent dream
summarises what happened, but would also seem to indicate that this
conflagration is far from over! Churches of God, who broke away from the WCG
after the mid-nineties Great Apostasy which Tkach fuelled, are still
hampered by a near total lack of appreciation of spiritual gifts and things
supernatural. These tapes prepare the ground for an acceptance of the gifts
of God's Spirit, besides exposing what is wrong with most CoG ministers
whose approach mimics that of Jim Rector. False ministers display tell-tale
traits.
Publicity & Neil &
Christine Hamilton
7th Dec 2002. M. I was sitting with Neil
and Christine Hamilton.
There was another man
present, too; perhaps he was an interviewer. It was as if we were in front
of an audience, but that was not visible. I was sitting in between Neil and
Christine. She was on my left, Neil was on my right and the other man was to
the right of Neil.
Then Neil left the scene,
so there were now only three of us there. Soon afterwards, I got up and
moved to the left of Christine, with my arm on the sofa back, somewhat
relaxed. I meant nothing by it, but others could have tried to make
something out of it (especially the newspapers, who are always trying to
find moral imperfections in people who are in the pubic eye). Then Christine
made some comment about sex, which really set the cat among the pigeons! It
made me feel awkward and uneasy. [She is outspoken, and will jest for
effect.]
Meaning:
It depicts some of the publicity that is coming.
Evil Person
11th Dec 2002. M. A
mangy blind cat
This animal had only one
eye. One was completely missing; all that was left was an empty eye socket.
It was all diseased and there was puss in it. I felt like getting a stick
and cleaning out the eye socket with it. The other eye was virtually blind
because it was so diseased.
Meaning:
An e-mail came today from DS, attacking me and an associate whom God has
brought across our path. The e-mail was vengeful and written from other evil
motives.
I replied. Another letter
was written on 12th December, as if like an empty eye socket being cleaned
out with a stick. The letter would not be pleasant to DS to read!
God brings various people
into contact with our ministry. They are tested, and the evil ones are
weighed in the heavenly balances and found lacking!
Restoring Faulty
Workmanship
13th Dec 2002. M. 2 dreams
1)
We had completely removed the walls around the bathroom. Now it was
totally open. The pipework was still in the same place, but now I thought
that it could be removed and altered, so I asked a plumber I knew to come
and help us with this work. Likewise, he showed me a section of brickwork in
a wall where he was working which was faulty. Someone had filled in with
bricks where a large beam had been before, but the bricks were laid on soft
mortar that had perished, and so the whole section was loose. The mortar was
like sponge. I knew immediately how to go about to rectify the problem and
rebuild the section.
Meaning:
Publicity(?) opening us up to view. The walls of Church dogma being removed
(?). The need to rearrange the means by which the Holy Spirit can flow (the pipework). Restoring the walls of the Church. And the benefit of
co-operation: in this instance between myself and one other. I can help him
and he can help me in this work of God.
Very Few Share Our Burdens
2) I had a large
publication of about 800 pages [depicts beforehand the enormous amount of publishing
that we have done since this dream] that I needed to get printed. The cost
was enormous, and I didn’t have the financial means to put it in print, so I
considered a cheaper option for binding it instead of doing perfect binding
which is expensive. I thought of doing it with a plastic binding. However,
when I mentioned this to others (it seemed to be in a place like a library)
a lady said, “Oh no, you must do it in perfect binding!” I was hurt
by the comment and felt sad, because I didn’t have the money to do what
needed to be done. I told her “I can’t afford it.” She looked at me,
surprised. What made me sad also was that it seemed that no one cared to
share the burden with me. Like the lady, people would expect me to do
everything ideally, but didn’t lift a finger to help. (Compare with
Philippians 2:20-21.) We have totally insufficient support to do this
ministry.
Although I didn’t have the
means to do the job, I agreed with her that it should be done with
perfect binding anyway, and went ahead despite my financial inability and
others’ unwillingness.
Meaning:
A picture of our position regarding publishing. So very few help us! They
assume we have the financial means, but we don't. “We walk by faith, not by
sight” (2 Cor 5:7).
14th Dec 2002. M. 2 dreams
1)
I was rebuilding an outdoor shelter for someone. It was like a storage area,
similar to what we use to store our logs and firewood, but a bit better.
Although I did most of the work myself, someone else was involved in
completing the roof.
Raising The Dead
2)
Raising the dead
In this dream I was being
most emphatic to various people about raising the dead. I boldly challenged
them, and moved into position to be the agent for God to restore life to a
dead person. The person came back to life.
Then, a short while later, I had another assignment to raise someone from
the dead. It was as if it was only the next day or next week. Before it
could happen, though, I had to really confront these people with their
spiritual obduracy, unwillingness
to accept new truth, and their unbelief.
Meaning:
God raises the dead for important spiritual reasons, not for fun! He uses
His power to draw people's attention to Him, to the truth He wants them to
believe. But that inevitably is confrontational, because people don't
naturally want the truth.
God Depicts Our Contact
With One Of The WCG / CoG
Offshoots
16th Dec 2002. M. I went in
my van to buy some cement at the builders’ merchants. I enquired about the
price; I was very careful with our money. It had to go a long way. They
couldn’t supply me with the five bags I wanted; so I had to settle for two.
[In this job of building up the House of God we are short of what we need,
physically, to do the task as well as we would like.]
As I went on my way,
somehow I had a cup of grain (wheat seeds) in my hand. [These depict the
Word of God which we carry in our publications, to be planted in others’
lives.]
I went into a housing
estate. [The Churches of God.] Everything seemed to be very neat and
orderly. It was a quiet and respectable neighbourhood [there are many demons
of respectability, by the way].
The houses were built in
the mid-20th century, rather old- fashioned now, but one of them had some
bizarre alterations done to the roof. They had altered the roof to open it
up in an outlandish modern style, with big wooden beams projecting at
ostentatious oblique angles and glass in between. [One of the off-shoot
organizations which has tried to be more open and modern than most in the
CoG movement. But God is not impressed with it.] It was designed to let more
light in.
I entered this house from
above, on the upstairs floor, and called out “Hello, is anybody there?” A
lady appeared, really disturbed that I was inside. She was really agitated
and worried. But I wasn’t there to do her any harm, although it was clear
she feared I was. She would have wondered how I got in and why. I merely
said something about the grain in the cup in my hand.
I went downstairs to leave
and on the way out saw two other workmen who were not doing much, but were
there in her house.
Meaning:
The dream was about our contact with Norman Edwards' organisation which
published a paper called Servant's News. He rejected our input, so I
left as the dream portrayed. The next dream also portrayed him.
More About Norman Edwards
18th Dec 2002. M. I saw a
young girl, aged about 7 or 8. Her left leg was half the thickness of a
normal leg. It was like a stick in comparison to her other leg. How it had
got like this astonished me. I was shown that it was due to another person’s
self-will. This other person was in a position of power or control. He was
in ministry.
There had been a situation
where this girl was so close to what he was doing, that she was entwined
with his project.
I was not shown what his
project was except that it was represented by some timbers in what appeared
to be mud and water. But, rather than cut the timbers of his project back,
he cut her leg down the middle from top to toe, so it was now half its
normal width. (I didn’t see any blood or bone; it was just like a normal leg
except for its thinness.) He had done this to salvage his project. That was
more important to him than her or her leg.
Naturally, she was sad
about the condition of her leg and had to live with this deformity for the
rest of her life.
[Meaning: About
Norman Edwards (who compiles a journal with the initials S N in the USA) to
whom I wrote yesterday.]
In the next part of this
dream, three young women were in touch with me and wanted to help me in my
work. They were on the look-out for information that they thought I would
need to know about. They came to me with a paper in which they had found
something significant and showed this to me. As it happened, I had seen this
news the day before and told them. But I thanked them for their help and
told them to keep me informed of anything else that they might come across
that they thought might be useful to me.
[Meaning: Possibly
infers that our present situation, almost without anyone who is likeminded,
will change. Also shows that others think they can inform us, or have
something to teach us, but really God has already given us what we need to
know to do the job.]
In the third part, I had
just finished mowing the lawn. It looked very nice. Then I realised that it
was December. It was most unusual to be doing such a thing in that month!
Meaning:
Probably means some amazing and unexpected things are ahead. But God is a
God of miracles and He is behind us, so we can expect the unexpected!
How You Use Money Indicates
Where Your Heart Is
19th Dec 2002. M. Several
dreams.
1)
I dreamed that I met up with John Ferrier, a New Zealander that I knew in
College over 30 years ago. It was at what seemed to be some sort of function
like a Feast gathering.
I also met another man whom
I knew from the past. He was working in a Far Eastern country in the
financial markets, selling bonds. I thought to myself, “Oh, goodie. We could
do with some money!” I hoped that he would realise our desperate plight for
funds to do this work, and give us a donation, but there was no indication
in the dream that he did.
Meaning:
Most people are insensitive to our needs in operating this ministry. When we
are ‘famous’, they may seek contact with us and be glad to renew friendship
again, but when it comes to practical usefulness and thoughtful generosity
there is precious little of that!
Money is a great indicator
of where your heart is, and your state of spiritual awareness.
Helena's
Aspirations
2)
We were having lunch somewhere. It was by the sea. I sat on a rock, but
Helena saw a small conical pile of sand and went over to it. She was content
to sit on that. It reminded me of how a chicken is content to sit on her
nest.
Meaning:
Helena’s aspirations for herself are not grandiose. She is happy with the
little things in life. She was reared on a farm in
Poland
and is humble and content to stay ‘simple’.
This psalm depicts her and
others like her:
My heart is not proud, O
Lord. My eyes are not haughty. I do not concern myself with great matters or
things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled my soul; like a weaned child
is my soul within me (Ps 131:1-2, NIV).
My Average Salary
3)
I was at the Builders’ Merchants. They were going to employ me. I was asked
what would be a sensible salary. I hadn’t got a clue, so I said first “£50K
would be too much, wouldn’t it?” The reply was “Yes”.
So I said, “Well, what
about £20K?” Then I realised that that was too low. So, I said thirdly, “How
about £25K?”
Meaning:
As of editing this in 2005, £25K is considered an average salary in this
land.
MM's Outreach In
Ireland
20th Dec 2002. M. The
House In
Ireland
We had built a new house in
Ireland. It seemed to be on the grounds of another smaller older property
(perhaps a bungalow, although I didn’t see it in the dream, I just had the
impression that it was there). The house was fairly large (probably four
bedrooms) and near the sea. There was a grass lawn and a high wall of stone,
or part brick and stone, about 7 feet high between the house and the beach
(which I think was stony but I didn’t see it).
Meaning:
Depicts an outreach ministry in Ireland. The imagery is depictive of the
area where it will be based.
God Reveals Secrets To His
Prophets
21st Dec 2002. M. About
Ainsley Harriett. (Details omitted.) A symbol of the decadence in our nation
that is hardly recognised for what it is. It is laughed off. Ainsley is a
celebrity.
Meaning:
People would be shocked at some of the things God points out to us about
others. He reveals an awful lot of things to us in dreams. It's a bit like
it was said of Elisha, that God told him the very words the king spoke in
his most private of places (2 Kings 6:12).
Altering The New Place
23rd Dec 2002. M. The
new place. Considering alterations, wondering whether to make two
bedrooms from rooms that were not bedrooms at present. We didn’t want to
offer more, because it was in India. There were quite a number of things
that were not right that needed changing or improving.
After Two Warnings, God
Then Judges Those Who Resist
24th Dec 2002. M. Unpaid
rent
A young woman had not paid
her rent on two previous occasions. This was the third week she was missing.
I gave her a warning that it was her last chance to pay, or she would be
OUT!
Meaning:
Yesterday I had written a note to someone in Europe about Christmas, sending
our literature on the subject. She has consistently resisted accepting truth
that we have presented. She has ignored it, preferring to go along with the
world’s customs, rooted in unbiblical Catholic dogma.
In Titus, Paul said:
Warn a divisive person
once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with
him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is
self-condemned (Titus 3:10-11, NIV).
Reinhard Bonnke
26th December 2002. M. Two
dreams
1)
People's Esteem For Reinhard Bonnke
Reinhard Bonnke has such a
following that many will simply not accept that he has anything more to
learn.
In this dream I was finding
it impossible to convince certain people that RB is missing certain things
in the spiritual. But he is; he is not receiving in the spirit all that he
should; he is not hearing from God about everything that he ought to be
doing.
It was a real struggle to
try to make them see that he was not open to receiving certain truths from
God.
Meaning:
People, being like sheep, tend to follow leaders such as Reinhard Bonnke,
without thinking that the mentors they place such trust in could have
anything much more to learn. Yet, God showed me in other dreams about
Reinhard, that although he is a wonderful man of God, he is not willing to
accept (at the time of writing) that there is anything wrong with church
hierarchy. However, hierarchy in the Church is the biggest single
abomination and factor limiting the spiritual growth and development of
God's people!
There are also other
spiritual issues Reinhard has yet to face such as accepting worship on God's
Sabbaths and festivals and getting rid of Sunday worship, Christmas and
Easter.
More work has yet to be
done, and Reinhard has yet to move ahead in all these areas, but try
convincing the sheep whom he has reached in his ministry that he is in need
of so much correction, and they would show you the door!
Don't Take Things For
Granted! They Won't Always Be Here!
2) The lectern disappears
A ‘conference’ was
arranged. At this venue, there was a stage or platform [opportunity to
preach the gospel] inside a large building [represents the Church], and
spiritual educating was taking place.
They didn’t have a lectern
[preachers stand behind a lectern when they preach; it's something upon
which they can place their notes and books], so I offered to obtain one for
them and went to hire it for a week. They then used my hired lectern. [The
truth we bring will only be offered for a limited time, before the
Tribulation prevents it being preached.]
One day about a week later,
a lady was going to address the audience, but the lectern was no longer
there. I wondered where it was. She squatted on the edge of a seat, with her
notes and Bible on the rest of the seat. This was far from ideal and I said
to her, “Do you want me to get that lectern?” She did, so I went off to look
for it behind stage.
There I met Boris Johnson
[he is a Member of the British Parliament, and a colourful worldly
character], and when I told him what I was looking for [this probably
alludes to the contact we will have in due course with people in prominent
positions in society, when 'our' message goes public], he reminded me that
it was only on hire for a week.
I had forgotten that it was
on hire [the truth God has given to us and to you is given for a certain
period of time; we are only put on earth for a temporary sojourn]. I had
taken it for granted, like you tend to do when something is always there.
But I really felt for this
lady; it was far from ideal squatting on the edge of a seat to deliver her
message [there are always pressing needs in the Church, and while we would
love to do so much more, we are simply unable to provide all that people
would like]. So, I determined to get the lectern and pay for another week’s
hire with a credit card [how we have struggled along financially, always
playing 'catch up', because of insufficient income]. But, the lectern was
now no longer around. Although I looked for it, I couldn’t find it. [This
symbolises the fact that the open preaching of the gospel will come to an
end, and the prophesied Great Tribulation, that Jesus predicted in Matthew
24:8-22, will descend upon the world unexpectedly.]
The New Place
28th December 2002. M.
The new place
Tonya and I were looking at
a house that we were considering buying. It was up for £85,500, and we were
thinking of offering £85,000 for it.
Cautiously and politely, I
asked the owners if we could come and have another look at the property
before making our final decision. It was not the first time we had been to
look and they may have been wondering how long it would take us to make up
our minds.
We looked at various
aspects and considered at first using a large room as a hairdressing room.
Then, we realised that we could use a smaller room for that, and it made
much better use of the property to do that.
We All Need Perseverance
30th December 2002. M.
Various dreams, one of which was about a woman carefully making a pink dress
for herself.
It took her ages, but she
persevered until she had painstakingly completed it.
Meaning:
Tonya’s perseverance?
Billions of Pounds Given
31st December 2002. M. £
Billions are donated!
A huge sum of money –
billions! – was being donated.
I didn’t know where it was
coming from, but it was so huge that the Queen (if she had not already been
one) became a millionaire through it, and we benefited to some extent, too.
Meaning:
This dream is possibly to do with a repeat of what occurred in Acts 4:32.
At that time, people’s
lives were so shaken and transformed by the life and death of Jesus, by His
teachings, and the miracles done by the apostles, that they sold their
possessions.
Similar tumultuous
happenings are ahead and many people will come to see how futile the
accumulating of wealth is and will give away what they own to charity. The
dream indicates that MANY will part with their worldly wealth! |
