Ask for the Old Paths - UBM [David Eells]

This dream was so strong and memorable that I know I need to pay attention. I dreamed Ron and I bought a new house. Actually it was a very old house (the house the Lord raised up 2000 years ago) that had been converted to a restaurant (to feed the true Word) and we intended to convert it back to a house (getting back to what was ordained of God: {1 Jn.2:24} As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father.). It was awful. The decor was old and rotten. Full of heavy, dusty drapes and old furniture made from rare exotic wood but now out of date and unappealing (because of a falling away the original house has fallen into disrepair).

As we took possession of the house, we started exploring all the rooms. Many rooms had been added on over the years {Rev.22:18} I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book. The front porch had been converted to a trinket shop full of tacky crafts and dusty Christmas junk (since man made religious systems are not supported by God through the faith of the leaders, they resort to Babylonish merchandising). When I was examining the porch I pulled back the nasty, rotten carpet and found good clean wood deck underneath (the old foundation). I made a mental note to rip up the carpet, dump the trinkets and merchandise and restore the porch to a place to sit and rest (a place to rest from man's works on God's Sabbath).

From the porch there was a stairway that led to another part of the house that had been added on and I was shocked to see how big the house had gotten (big but not good or effective). This particular wing was like a whole house in itself but it obviously had been used for commercial business offices (the merchants of Babylon). There was one narrow blue (heavenly) tiled staircase in this part of the house that had been closed off (men have closed off Jacobs Ladder [Hebrew: staircase] which represented the true path to heaven [Gen.28:12]. {Lk.11:52} Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.). In the dream I knew it had once led to a pool or water source of some kind (to the true source of the living Waters of the Spirit Word). Even though it was roped off I tried to look up the staircase and was startled to see what appeared to be an angel at the top (the ministering spirit angels ascended and descended between Jacob and God. Jesus, the Word, said that He was this staircase, the way to heaven and God's way to us [Jn.1:51].). Then the angel began walking down the stairs, saying the area was closed, and then disappeared (it wont be closed much longer; Jesus is coming in His first-fruits to lead the church back to the water of life).

As I toured the house, making notes about what I would do to renovate it, I had a baby boy with me. Sometimes I carried him; sometimes he toddled beside me holding my hand tightly. I knew he was not my natural child but one that I was caring for and I wanted to keep close to me (the fruit of Christ in the spirit man coming to those who seek the old house with the "old paths").

I think the house definitely represents apostate religion. It has been used for business too long and is now rotten and meaningless. I assume the baby boy is the man-child ministry (the man-child will lead the true called-out ones back to the "old paths"). {Jer.6:16} Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk [therein]. {17} And I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet; but they said, We will not hearken. {18} Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. {19} Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.

{Jude 1:3} Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. {4} For there are certain men crept in privily, [even] they who were of old written of beforehand unto this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (a license for self will), and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Apostate leaders have denied Jesus the Lordship of His Church.

More Light For More Christ

(David's notes in red)

I had this dream today, Aug 19. I saw myself in a white room; the ceiling was very high. (The house is the house of the Lord.) There were white stairs with gold banisters on it. (The staircase represents Jacob's ladder [Hebrew: staircase] to heaven and represents following in the steps of Jesus as "the way" [Gen.28:12; Jn.1:51].) I saw a fair lady and she looked pregnant to me. (The pregnant woman represents the woman church of Rev. 12 who is pregnant with the fruit of Christ.) She had the keys to unlock the door above the ceiling. As she was climbing to unlock that door, she told me that I could only enter that door above my head, until I change the bulb (a very huge round fluorescent bulb with white light), otherwise, I would not be permitted to enter through that door in the ceiling. (The key is the key of knowledge and the light is the light of understanding that we need to go through the door to the next level which is Christ fully birthed in us. The first-fruits of these will be the man-child.) She came down. (The pregnant woman represents those believers whose sphere of authority stayed below the door.) She seemed to be the keeper of that door and keeping records.

I started to climb those white stairs which they were very steep and very high. The floor of that room was quite small when I was up there. Of course no room in reality is made at this height. When you look down, it looked quite frightening so you can imagine the height. I am not a height person myself and surely it was only by the grace of God I was able to climb up those steep white stairs holding those golden banisters by faith. (Our hands represent our works, which must be holding to the highest value of gold and must be increasingly more heavenly as in climbing the staircase.) When I reached the ceiling, I had to leave those banisters and reach for the light to change that bulb. It was not easy because that light was situated at the center of the room. It was only by His grace that I managed to balance myself without the banister and change that light quickly. By grace we will be balanced enough to go to the next understanding level and manifest Christ. The light was a blinding white light. Then I entered into open heaven through that door.
