Led By God to the Refuge - UBM [David Eells]

I dreamed back around the 1st of June that I was standing in the wilderness right after the tribulation had begun and death and devastation were all around me. (This is the time prophesied in Revelation 12 when the woman goes into the wilderness tribulation.) Suddenly, there appeared beside me an angel (I believe it was my angel). {Heb.1:14} Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation? {2:1} Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away [from them]. {2} For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; {3} how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard.) I looked in front of me and there was a path and the path was lit by the light shining forth from the angel, and the path appeared to be about a foot or so above the ground. (Following angels is walking in the light of the Word "in heavenly places in Christ". Do you walk by faith and obedience to dwell in Heaven above the worldly or are you earthly dwelling as the worldly upon the earth?) {Rev.13:6} And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, [even] them that dwell in the heaven ... {8} And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, [every one] whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.) As I was standing there looking at this lit path, the angel said, "Come". So I got on the path and began to walk forward. I was able to look out on both sides of the path and I could see chaos all around but it could not interfere with me on this path. It was like I was in another realm of existence on this path and the natural realm had no power. (Walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lusts of the flesh.) Also, there didn't seem to be the substance of time on this path; it appeared I had been walking for quite some time but I couldn't really judge the time. (In that realm -- eternity -- time, distance, hunger, weakness, etc. have no effect.)

As I was singing and walking along on the path, I noticed something up ahead but I was too far away to make out what it was, so I just kept my eyes focused on it. When I got closer, I could see that it was a table prepared with water and food for one -- me. The angel said, "Sit and eat". So I did. When I was finished eating and drinking, the angel pointed to a tree on the path and said, "Rest!" So I did. I went and laid down under the tree and took a nap. When I woke up, the angel said, "Come". So I got up and started to walk forward on the path again. It was really neat! The angel never once told me to stay on the path, as if the angel knew that I knew this path was a refuge and safety and I knew to stay on it, as I was being led to a wonderful place by this angel of the Lord. {Isa.35:8} And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for [the redeemed]: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err [therein]. {9} No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there]: {10} and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.) I remember being aware how the angel didn't use a lot of words but was very precise and to the point with his words. (This is like many Christians should be, for Solomon said, "Let your words be few". {Ecc.5:2} Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.) I couldn't help but wonder, as I was walking along where the angel was taking me, but one thing I did know for sure: wherever I was being led, it was going to be a wonderful, wonderful place and I was so excited.

I looked up ahead as far as I could see and it looked like some large body of water, possibly the ocean, so I kept my eyes focused on this large body of water up ahead. When we got to the shoreline, the angel suddenly stopped and so did the light of the path. The angel and the light just stayed right there like we were waiting on or for something. While we were waiting, I noticed this body of water was very fierce with large crashing waves being driven very hard by the wind. {Psa.65:7} Who stilleth the roaring of the seas, The roaring of their waves, And the tumult of the peoples. (Notice the wicked are like roaring waves against us.) {Jer.5:22} Fear ye not me? saith Jehovah: will ye not tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it? and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it. (The wicked among God's people are like wild waves of the sea, too.) {Jud.12} These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; {13} Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever.

All of a sudden, a very small boat (a boat for one) appeared out of the waves and was coming toward us at a steady pace. The little boat came right up to where I was standing on the shore and the angel said, "Get in and sit down". So I did. As soon as I sat down, the little boat began to go back across the body of water the way it had come. It was really neat because this boat did not have to turn around; it was like it had two bows. As I was looking out across the bow of the boat, I could see what appeared to be a track like a train track in the water and the boat was following along on this track. It was amazing because the boat was not being affected in any way by the large waves or the wind. (A train cannot deviate from its designed path which is already laid down, just like the Scriptures, which is our own way of safety through the wild waves of beastly humanity.) I was not getting wet by the waves or being rocked about; the boat was just very gently and steadily proceeding on this track. It was obvious to me that the only way to cross this body of troubled water was in this little boat; any other attempt to cross this water would mean certain death. (God will make a safe way through the wicked for those walking in holiness into the tribulation. Holiness is separation from the world, like the shining path. The Israelites walked through the Red Sea, in safety to the wilderness, while the wicked were swallowed up by it. They were guided around enemies in safety in the wilderness.)

Again, I could not sense the substance of time inside this boat but I knew I had been in the boat for a while, so I kept my eyes firmly focused on the horizon up ahead. I began to see a tiny dot on the horizon, so I just kept my eyes focused on the dot and it began to get bigger and bigger until I could make out that it appeared to be a small island. (A small island of safety in the midst of the angry sea of the wicked.) By this time I began to get very excited, as I could tell that the boat was headed for this island, so I knew this was my destination. As I got closer to the island, I could see people standing on the shoreline and they were waiving their arms and shouting something, but I was still too far away to understand what they were saying. As the little boat got closer, I began to hear my name. "Belinda! Belinda! We've been waiting for you!" Wow! I thought. They know who I am! And by this time, I was really getting excited.

As the boat rested on the shore, I jumped out and saw all of my UBM family standing there to greet me. There were people there whom I knew but had not actually met physically, but it was like I had known them for years, it was a very supernatural thing. As we were all laughing, rejoicing and sharing hugs, I looked up and saw Debbie Horton standing to the right of Brother David and she was smiling at me. Just then, I looked over at Brother David and he said, "Hello, Belinda. We've been waiting for you!" Wow! I thought. They have been waiting for me! I ran up to Debbie and gave her a big hug and tears of joy were running down my face. I had never experienced such absolute joy in my entire life; it's very hard to describe this joy. I thought to myself, This must be what Heaven is like. (God is preparing a place for the righteous in UBM and others to be trained by the Man-child ministers. Some will go forth around the world to minister the Gospel with signs and wonders in the former and latter rain anointing.)

About that time, I saw Sister Vicki coming toward me and she reached out and took my hand and said, "Come with me, Belinda. We have a place prepared for you". I responded, "You have a place prepared for me?" Wow! I have a place here and it is such a beautiful, beautiful place. I said, "Oh! Thank You, Lord! Thank You so very much, Lord!" As I was walking along with everyone, I noticed that the little island appeared to be round and there were all these little white houses in a circle all around the island and all the houses were facing one another. (Symbolizing a place of unity and life.) Right in the center of the island was a large fountain and right under the fountain was a pond and it appeared as if the fountain and the pond were one. I cupped my hands together and drew out some water from the fountain and drank it. I had never tasted such pure, sweet, cool, refreshing water. {Son.4:15} A fountain of gardens, A well of living waters, And streams from Lebanon. (The Lord is the living waters of the true, pure Word that the Man-child ministries will give.) {Jer.17:13} O Lord, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall be ashamed. "hose who depart from Me Shall be written in the earth, Because they have forsaken the Lord, The fountain of living waters. {Rev.7:17} for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. In order to have a river of living water spring up out of our innermost being, as Jesus said, we must first partake of the living waters.) I cupped my hands and gathered more water from the fountain and this time I was so full of joy that I threw the water up into the air and it came down on everyone standing nearby. When I realized what I had just done, I began to apologize to those standing close to me who were affected by the water but they stopped me and said, "Oh, that's okay, Belinda. Everybody does that when they first come here!" They were all smiling at me, so I smiled, too. (It is so joyful to partake of the living waters that we want to splash it on everyone.)

It was so peaceful on this island and so green. I didn't see any evidence of decay anywhere. (Decay is for people under the curse who have departed from the Word of promise but Jesus bore the curse so that we might have Abraham's blessings -- Galatians 3:13.) All I could see was God's provision for His people everywhere I looked. {Php.4:18} But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things [that came] from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. {19} And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.) I was so overjoyed with the feeling of harmony and love; this was a place of unity.
