Keeping Satan Under Your Feet - UBM [David Eells]

In a dream, I was in a big cavern with a wide river where people were waterskiing. But they were skiing on crocodiles' backs, sometimes on purpose, like for sport. Some class was going on in the water explaining how crocodiles slip into the water to attack. But dolphins were used as an example to show us how the crocodiles slipped into the water. (Satan wants us to think his demonic crocodiles are our friends when they actually want to devour us for him.) But then, what I thought were dolphins were actually the body of an underwater serpent dragon. (The demons are a part of Satan's body and seek to bring us into his body.) It was moving in a wave in and out of the water. I realized that I was on top of its head! (Notice the serpent dragon, who is Satan, was in the water, representing the peoples, but it was under LaKeisha's feet, who was in the heaven above the earth. Those in the heavens who exercise dominion over Satan are safe but those who dwell in the earth or waters among the crocodile, serpent, Dragon, are not. {Eph.1:3} Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly [places] in Christ: {Isa.27:1} In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea. {Rev.12:9} And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. {10} And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. {11} And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. {12} Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.)

The nations are the body of Satan in the earth; they are the body of water in which Satan the Dragon and his many crocodile demons live but we are to live in dominion over them. {Rev.17:15} And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the harlot sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. {Isa.17:12} Ah, the uproar of many peoples, that roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters! {13} The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but he shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm. {14} At eventide, behold, terror; [and] before the morning they are not. This is the portion of them that despoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. The Sennacherib army is spoken of here and they are inhabited of Satan and his demons who seek to cause the Bride to stumble, as Peter who got his eyes on the water and off of Christ and sank to what would have been his death.

Lakeisha had the serpent's head under her feet. {Gen.3:14} And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this (deceived the woman), cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life (the flesh of man was made from the dust of the earth, which the serpent eats): {15} and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Those who are born of the woman Church, who was deceived, will bruise the serpent's head.)

The scene changed just a little. I was alone now with the crocodiles and this big sea serpent in this tall, enclosed cavern. I was very afraid and worried about the many crocodiles in the water, but I knew I was safe on top of this serpent's head. (We are not to be afraid. As long as we take dominion over the head and mind of the serpent, we control his body and we have nothing to worry about. We grow up in Christ higher and higher as we keep the serpent in our flesh under submission. {Luk.10:19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.) The serpent just kept taking me higher and higher. I knew it was only nine feet high (the number 9 symbolizes divine completeness or maturity), but it felt much higher, like 100 feet (completion, 100%).

The cavern wall to my right had a door with a cross on it (through which one can escape the temptation in the cave through faith in the cross) and I saw it being cut open by a flashing sword (of the Word - Hebrews 4:12), but then it closed again. I wanted and tried to get through the door, but could not. (Through His Word, God offers many ways of escape from the trials but we are too slow to take them. I known brethren who were on prescription pain drugs that were killing their spiritual life and opening them up to Satan. Some were offered the Gospel of healing instead but were addicted to the drugs and didn't want to hear of the perfect cure that Jesus paid for. This can end with God withdrawing His offer. {1Co.10:13} There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it. When the Word offers deliverance from the curse, take it by faith while the conviction is upon you.) Then the serpent spoke to me in my mind and said, "The guy before you got through this way: grace and mercy". So I said, "Grace and mercy", and it began to open and a white light beamed out. (Don't count on your own wisdom or accomplishments. Cry out to God for grace and mercy, saints. It brings the light of truth and purity, for we deserve nothing.)

The scene changed. The scene was unfolding like a camera was moving to the right slowly as it zoomed out. I was a snow leopard. (They are uniquely suited to life in winter, which means tribulation.) I was running down a path toward a gazebo, in the top left part of the scene. There was a feast prepared outside in what seemed like a beautiful garden and white room with beautifully-designed golden chairs. (The Marriage Feast is also the time that the Lord's garden, which is His Bride, has borne fruit. {Son.4:12} A garden shut up is my sister, [my] bride; A spring shut up, a fountain sealed. {16} Awake, O north wind; And come, thou south; Blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat his precious fruits. {5:1} I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. There was also a covered porch with more seating. But in the garden part underneath a giant gazebo was a giant snow leopard with a blue pendant, maybe as tall as a one-story house. (This could be the Bride who has been through a winter tribulation and received now a heavenly blue reward.) It was looking onto the porch at a small dog in a playful manner. There were no humans, just animals for now.

Then Jesus appeared. He said, "Do you think I will let those who will destroy My dinner/feast come in? (Those who do not have on the wedding garment of the Bride, which is the righteous acts of the saints, will not be among them and those invited to the Feast must also have a wedding garment that is clean or, as Jesus showed, they will be thrown out into torment.) (I believe he looked at the door at this point.) He said, "Look". A mirror appeared that looks like the oval blue and white one Merlene gave me, and Jesus was behind me to my right and I was there. (We must look in the heavenly mirror and see Jesus to have power from God to overcome and be in the Bride garden. {2Co.3:18} But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit.) He said something and then said, "Look". I looked again and saw a small portion of the top of a head that looked like it was burned from fire behind my left shoulder. I became fearful and worried that that could be me if I went to Hell. (We must not see the old man on the left with all his past guilt in the mirror, for it is not faith that we were crucified with Christ and we don't live any more but He lives in us.)

But then Jesus said, "Now do you see the fine one?" I saw the fine one behind my right shoulder, healthy-looking, maybe it could be what I would look like in Heaven, but I was still afraid about the bad one. (We have to forget about the bad US in our past, meaning behind us in the mirror. The fine one is who we are now by faith. We cannot wait for Heaven, for it is here that we bear fruit through faith. We have to look forward to the prize of the high calling of God in Christ. {Php.3:7} Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ. {8} Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ (Are you ready to give up every distraction to gain Christ? Your actions will prove it.), {9} and be found in him, not having a righteousness of mine own, [even] that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith (Jesus took our sin and gave us His life through the reconciliation or exchange): {10} that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death (Will you suffer with Christ so that you may live with Him?); {11} if by any means I may attain unto the resurrection from the dead. {12} Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. {13} Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing [I do], forgetting the things which are behind (the old man and his sins), and stretching forward to the things which are before, {14} I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. {15} Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise minded, this also shall God reveal unto you: {16} only, whereunto we have attained, by that same [rule] let us walk.)

{17} Brethren, be ye imitators together of me, and mark them that so walk even as ye have us for an ensample. Now we begin to see those who are devoured by the crocodiles. {18} For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, [that they are] the enemies of the cross of Christ: {19} whose end is perdition, whose god is the belly, and [whose] glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. {20} For our citizenship is in heaven; whence also we wait for a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: {21} who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, [that it may be] conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

We exchanged a few words. He was talking about many things, but I don't remember all of them. I wanted to talk with him and ask him so many things, but I just kept remembering, let my words be few. Jesus was correcting me for some sins I had committed. He said, "May all the video games and all that would cause you to lose focus on Me be gone. Just focus on Me!" He cried, almost like a plea, "Be like the fine one!" And He wrapped Himself over me like a duck-and-cover move and was like a shield over me. I woke up. (Jesus is our covering for the sins of the past and our failures but not our willful disobediences - Hebrews 10:26. We must now call the things that be not as though they were done at the cross, for this is faith, which is the very substance of the thing hoped for. {Rom.3:4} God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment ... {23} for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; {24} being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: {25} whom God set forth [to be] a propitiation, through faith, in his blood, to show his righteousness because of the passing over of the sins done aforetime, in the forbearance of God; {26} for the showing, [I say], of his righteousness at this present season: that he might himself be just, and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus. {27} Where then is the glorying? It is excluded. By what manner of law? of works? Nay: but by a law of faith. {28} We reckon therefore that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. {29} Or is God [the God] of Jews only? is he not [the God] of Gentiles also? Yea, of Gentiles also: {30} if so be that God is one, and he shall justify the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith. {31} Do we then make the law of none effect through faith? God forbid: nay, we establish the law.

{4:1} What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, hath found according to the flesh? {2} For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. {3} For what saith the scripture? And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. {4} Now to him that worketh, the reward is not reckoned as of grace, but as of debt. {5} But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned for righteousness. {6} Even as David also pronounceth blessing upon the man, unto whom God reckoneth righteousness apart from works, {7} [saying], Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, And whose sins are covered. {8} Blessed is the man to whom, the Lord will not reckon sin.)
