In Weakness We Win - UBM [David Eells]

In a dream, I was at a football game. I was on a team that was wearing white jerseys and my teammates were younger kids, for the most part. I remember thinking, We are going to get killed! when I saw my younger teammates. The field was on a hill and it seemed like we were at a higher elevation. As we approached the field, I saw a sign that had the opposing team's name on it. The sign read "ASU", which is Arizona State University, but during the dream I didn't think about that; I just noticed "ASU". If you look up their mascot you will find that it is the Sun Devils; it is a picture of a devil with a pitchfork.

This is what their mascot looks like:

So it was us versus the ASU Sun Devils. Right before the kickoff, I remember being very anxious and again thinking that this might not go well. At first the field was muddy because I remember our uniforms having some mud on them. We received the ball first and on a series of plays marched down the field to the Sun Devil's end of the field. I remember that as we moved toward their goal line it seemed like I was a lot bigger than the ASU players. On the last play that scored the touchdown, I remember thinking, 'Should I play quarterback and maybe throw the ball?' Instead, it was a running play and I was running just ahead of the running back blocking. It was interesting because I was a grown man and it was like I was blocking little kids. I blocked several opposing players during the last play and we scored. It started raining about then and the Sun Devils forfeited the game. The score was 7-0. After we scored we were so excited and it was disappointing to see them forfeit but it was a relief in a way. I remember watching the last van loaded with gear pull away in the rain and head down the hill.

Many are wondering just before the big tribulation game against Satan's fearsome team, how such a small, weak and immature-looking bunch on God's side could possibly survive, much less win. God's "power is made perfect in weakness". "Not by might and not by power but by my spirit, saith the Lord". It is "by my Spirit", or another way to say it, it is the rain, the Latter Rain, and weakness that will cause the enemy to forfeit the game. Remember Gideon's army, which God whittled down to 300 men so that they could take on an army that was said to be, "like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude. And what was God's reasoning? {Jud.7:2} And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. {3} Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and trembling, let him return and depart from mount Gilead.

So children are the best to go against the enemy. {Mt.18:3} and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven. {4} Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. We must be children in our own strength but wise beyond our years to God's strength. {1 Cor.14:20} Brethren, be not children in mind: yet in malice be ye babes, but in mind be men. {Eph.6:10} Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. {11} Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {12} For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. {13} Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. {14} Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, {15} and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; {16} withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: {18} with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. The Battle begins...

My daughter had a dream, too. She and her grandmother were on a big roller coaster ride, which in the natural are scary and go up and down which is what represents the conditions many are about to endure. In the dream, I went up into a tower that overlooked a city. (Zion is called "the tower of the flock" and represents the bride who will be over the rest of the people of God, as in Esther.) She said that I had a very serious look on my face. I was watching over the city and that was what I was charged to do by the military. (God's General's will set watchmen for the enemy.) She joined me in the tower but did go back to the roller coaster. The people in her dream were barefoot. (The Church will return to her primitive roots by not departing from the original Word given.)
