David Eells - 01/29/2017 I felt the Lord wanted us to believe for another miracle for CYRUS and the US. We received three dreams in three days to warn us to put down the economic criminals or they would bring down our economy. Many economists are excited about what Trump is doing but warn that he will not be able to save the economy; some say the banksters can bring it down. Our God rules and reigns. Can we believe for miracles? We must be willing to be His vessels to show the world this. Consider what I say here.
The Lord turned around the planed destruction of America, its Christians and its economy by the past administration because God's people prayed and took authority. God, who authorized the edict of Haman to destroy and then turned it around because the Bride pleaded with the King of kings, will have His Purim. The God who sent Cyrus to overthrow the Babylonian king and brought prosperity to that kingdom will ultimately win by another miracle if we believe and exercise authority. I don't doubt a crumbling of the old system. During this revival, God will judge apostasy in Christianity and bring repentance. But God is also a God of resurrection. Economists are saying that Trump will not save the economy. I remind you that the experts believed Hillary was going in there. I remind you that when the election was going badly and God's people prayed, He turned it upside down. {Isa.44:24} Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb: I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth (who is with me?); {25} that frustrateth the signs of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; {26} that confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith of Jerusalem, She shall be inhabited; and of the cities of Judah, They shall be built, and I will raise up the waste places thereof (Does that sound like an irreversible economic crash now? The third seal in the tribulation will bring economic and agricultural judgment.); {27} that saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers; {28} That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem, She shall be built; and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid. The temple and Kingdom is built with converts, of which there will be many from all nations when they see what prayer can do. They know their gods do not answer and they thought ours couldn't either.) {45:1} Thus saith Jehovah to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and I will loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and the gates shall not be shut: {2} I will go before thee, and make the rough places smooth; I will break in pieces the doors of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron; {3} and I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places (Treasures and riches are coming to Cyrus / Trump from unexpected sources -- innovation and invention, for one. Handling the economy with God's help, another.), that thou mayest know that it is I, Jehovah, who call thee by thy name, even the God of Israel. {4} For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel my chosen, I have called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. {5} I am Jehovah, and there is none else; besides me there is no God. I will gird thee, though thou hast not known me; {6} that they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none besides me: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. People all over the world will be converted through the miracles God is doing and that we are praying in. {7} I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things. Cyrus prospered God's people with the kingdom they lost when they went into captivity to Babylon and its kings. This has begun and we will be used of God to build the Kingdom of spiritual resurrected Israel with David its king in Jerusalem the Bride. Look at the prosperity of God's people. {Ezr.1:1} Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of Jehovah by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, Jehovah stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying, {2} Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath Jehovah, the God of heaven, given me; and he hath charged me to build him a house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. {3} Whosoever there is among you of all his people, his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of Jehovah, the God of Israel (he is God), which is in Jerusalem. {4} And whosoever is left, in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the freewill-offering for the house of God which is in Jerusalem. {5} Then rose up the heads of fathers' houses of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, even all whose spirit God had stirred to go up to build the house of Jehovah which is in Jerusalem. {6} And all they that were round about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, besides all that was willingly offered. {7} Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of Jehovah, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put in the house of his gods; {8} even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah. {9} And this is the number of them: thirty platters of gold, a thousand platters of silver, nine and twenty knives, {10} thirty bowls of gold, silver bowls of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand. {11} All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up, when they of the captivity were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem. Patty received this text yesterday concerning the Persian Empire, enriching God's people and their Kingdom. {Ezr.7:13} I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and their priests and the Levites, in my realm, that are minded of their own free will to go to Jerusalem, go with thee. {14} Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king and his seven counsellors, to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thy hand, {15} and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem, {16} and all the silver and gold that thou shalt find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill-offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem; {17} therefore thou shalt with all diligence buy with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meal-offerings and their drink-offerings, and shalt offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem. {18} And whatsoever shall seem good to thee and to thy brethren to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do ye after the will of your God. {19} And the vessels that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem. {20} And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure-house.
Sue Gilbert's dream given maybe around October 2016, possibly before Trump was chosen. She believes the man in this dream is Donald Trump. In a dream, there was a man at my house. (I knew him, but not personally and he was not from UBM.) He was there (House of God) for awhile and he started changing. He had such a peace. I saw him go to a place. (In or outside the house I'm not sure where there was a piano. He started to play the piano and was singing with all his might to the Lord. I was watching him but he didn't see me. It was like at times I would be observing him without him knowing it and other times I was talking to him. Then he saw the Bible and started to read it. He went home and gave the Bible to his wife and they read it together and prayed together. I saw them at their bedside kneeling and praying together.) They were rich in the world but they were so happy when they got the Bible; but they were afraid of their social friends they were connected to, that they would come down on them and think they were in some kind of a cult that could harm them. They started to understand the Word, which gave them peace, so they weren't concerned anymore. Then they started to give away their riches. In one scene, they had all these clocks together on their bed and they were deciding which to give away and after that I saw all the clocks were gone. (God is giving us more time through Trump, as I have said before. It is too soon for the Beast to make war on the saints; that comes in the middle of the tribulation.) They were so happy that they started to give more away. It was like they couldn't give enough. They would give and have more to give. (I felt like the man represented Trump and his wife, and he had received the Lord and the Lord is giving us more time for His purpose. I am not sure exactly when this dream was given.)
April 20, 2013 There is a man by the name of Mr. Clark, and there is also another man by the name of Donald. You are both watching me, saying, "Could it be that God is speaking to me?" Yes, he is! Somebody, just a few minutes before you came on the show, you went out and you took the American flag, and you said, "I'm proud of my nation". You raised it up and God said, "You have been determined through your prayers to influence this nation. You're watching me; you're an influential person". The Spirit of God says, "Hear the word of the prophet to you as a king, I will open that door that you prayed about. And when it comes time for the election, you will be elected".
"This that shall take place shall be the most unusual thing, a transfiguration, a going into the marketplace, if you wish, into the news media, where Time Magazinr will have no choice but to say what I want them to say. Newsweek, what I want them to say. The View, what I want them to say. Trump shall become a trumpet, says the Lord. Trump shall become a trumpet. I will raise up the Trump to become a trumpet, and Bill Gates to open up the gate of a financial realm for the church, says the Lord.... For God said, "I will not forget 9/11. I will not forget what took place that day, and I will not forget the gatekeeper that watched over New York, who will once again stand and watch over this nation", says the Spirit of God. "It shall come to pass that the man that I shall place in the highest office shall go in whispering My name. But God said, when he enters into the office, he will be shouting out by the power of the Spirit. For I shall fill Him with My Spirit when he goes into office, and there will be a praying man in the highest seat in your land. (I wonder what you think Trump will be praying for? The God who makes him pray, will He not answer?) February 10, 2007 There will be a praying president, not a religious one. For I will fool the people, says the Lord. I will fool the people, yes I will. God says, the one that is chosen shall go in, and they shall say, "he has hot blood". For the Spirit of God says, yes, he may have hot blood, but he will bring the walls of protection on this country in a greater way, and the economy of this country shall change rapidly, says the Lord of hosts. Listen to the word of the Lord. God says, "I will put at your helm for two terms a president that will pray, but he will not be a praying president when he starts. I will put him in office, and then I will baptize him with the Holy Spirit and My power, says the Lord of hosts. January 14, 2006 (Even the left is going to see that God is in this. We have prophecies of Obama being saved and now the Clintons.) And some of you said, when the Spirit said, "Hillary Clinton", some of you shouted out, "Yes!" God said, "I have already dealt with her heart, not to be president of this nation, but to be president in a Christian world. She will have a testimony second to none and will eventually come out with it and make declaration that Christ Jesus saved her marriage, saved her child, and saved her life. And when this happens, there will be a shaking in the Democratic Party so powerful". Seen with transcriber's footnotes in full here.
(David's notes in red) I had a dream on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. No one else was in the dream until the end. There was a row of buildings, businesses, which ran along a street. They were attached together, having a common wall. As I looked at the front of the buildings, I was interested in the one on the end, the left end. I think it was a bank at one time. (The bank has a common face with the rest of business and economy. They can't be separated. As goes one, so goes the other.) I was hired to do some remodeling, to correct some problems. It seems that everything was out of level. After some time, I realized that the task I was asked to do was not possible. (I think Leon represents Donald Trump here. Trump is attacking this economic problem now and it does look impossible but God's power is made perfect in our weakness. He is making a heroic effort with much interference from the radical left. We need to cast it down by faith.) So I suggested that we gut the building, leaving the outside structure intact. We even tore out the flooring system, leaving the crawl space which was about four feet down. (Perhaps the president will do the same with the Fed and the banking system. It will look the same to the man on the street but be entirely different underneath.) The foundation seemed to have sunk about six inches on the left side but the brick structure sitting on the foundation was intact and sound. (He is trying to compensate for the inequality and sinking in the foundation of the economy and banking system by bringing back investment.) We would have to reframe the floor level with a three-inch drop on the right side and a three-inch rise on the left side. We were then through for the day. (It appears they have found a cure.) Before I left, some men came into the building, carrying some big blocks of concrete. They were not square but rather a freeform style -- big and roundish, as if poured into a hole of some sort. I just knew that these were mafia-type people and that the cement contained dead bodies of people they had gotten rid of at some time in the past. (Perhaps Jimmy Hoffa? Ha.) (When Trump has done what he could, if these banksters who have blood on their hands are allowed input, it will all fail because of God's justice. The foundation of investment is still ill-gotten gain of the criminal banksters and companies who have robbed the lives of others and will eventually fail if this is permitted. {Jas.2:6} But ye have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you, and themselves drag you before the judgment-seats? {5:1} Come now, ye rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. {2} Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. {3} Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days. {4} Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. {5} Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. {6} Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one ; he doth not resist you. {7} Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain. All of a sudden, I was in that crawl space and it was covered up, as if the floor had been installed. But I wasn't alone. With me was the Catholic priest who gave the first prayer at Trump's inauguration -- Cardinal Dolan. (Ultimately, the economy will fail if the corrupt foundation of the rich who are guilty of blood, and the apostate church, which have plundered the poor, that is being covered up is permitted.) We had a flashlight and we tried to get out but to no avail. And then I woke up. (This is a warning to pray against corruption in this new foundation of a reformed economic system.)
(David's notes in red) I had a dream this past Monday that Father has brought back to my memory several times, so I thought it best to send it to you. I saw a black and white dairy cow falling through the sky. Its head was facing to the left. It was wiggling its leg as though fighting against gravity. (Our cash cow trying to break its fall.) It hit the earth in an arid field with a bone-crushing thud and was smashed dead -- almost unrecognizable. A cash cow is an economic enterprise like the U.S. whose output exceeds what has been invested.
Wikipedia: "Cash cow is business jargon for a business venture that generates a steady return of profits that far exceed the outlay of cash required to acquire or start it". "The term cash cow is a metaphor for a 'dairy cow' used on farms to produce milk, offering a steady stream of income with little maintenance". Americans have been plundered by Obama to the tune of trillions of dollars, which he has given to our enemies. The output is far more than the investment and a crash is certain without God's help. Trump is racing against time to decrease the output and increase the investment so the cash can keep flowing. This is a warning of coming failure to the U.S. cow without our prayers and commands of faith for God's help. Then two very large birds of prey landed on the carcass, one on the left and one on the right, and began pecking. The birds looked like a cross between an eagle and a vulture but much larger and ugly. (These are greedy banksters ready to devour the pieces of the cow at little or no cost to themselves.) Next, two male lions approached and the birds flew away. They sat at either side, left and right, and began to eat the cow. (Larger prey or banksters will end up with the most.) There were also other animals wandering around the field but they stayed away because of the lions. (As you taught us, Father, we send the angels to remove the corrupt foundation for the economy, to remove those who kill, steal and destroy this economy. Greed, competition, witchcraft, faction, selfish ambition -- we forbid your power in this resurrection, in Jesus' name.)
(David's notes in red) In this dream, Missy and I were looking for me a job. We ended up at a bank which I realized later was a Bank of America. Missy decided to drive through the bank with her car. We were driving through an office setting that had desks where some people were working. They were all really frantic and ready to call security. We passed by a few empty desks and Missy was telling me, "There's a desk where you can work". (Will the leftist banking system in America be frightened as the new influence of the right passes through like a bulldozer? Their call for security probably means they have insecurity and fear, some of prosecution. This is like like the people in the leftist State Department when they fled en masse. We were shown they would be in fear and to send the angels to root them out, which we did.
"A wave of top U.S. State Department officials have resigned as President Donald Trump's administration exerts control over the agency with an eye toward purging an old guard seen as representing the establishment he railed against during the campaign". Well, we finally got out of the car; I don't know how. When the people called security, they were coming up and I asked if they were hiring. A guy who worked there who was a manager said, "Yeah, you guys scared me". Then, a lady came and answered the phone, speaking about being a democrat. Then, Missy had this look on her face like, uh oh, cause we didn't know that this Bank of America was part of the democratic party. By that time, the manager guy, who was black (a symbol of bankers walking in darkness), took my hand and was leading me to a different area to fill out an application, I guess. While the manager was holding my hand, I was talking to Jesus and asking Him to protect me from any spirits that would transfer from this man to me. Then, I thought, "Hey, I could transfer a spirit to him", thinking of maybe preaching the Gospel to him. While we were walking to this other office area, which was bright with lights and with white walls, the manager asked if I worked for a bank before and I said "No", then he said I should have. Then I woke up. (This is saying we should be the one to make a change of spirit in the leftist bankers' system, not the other way around. Let us bind and forbid the leftist influence on the banking system. We forbid the spirits of faction, witchcraft, greed and lawlessness from the banksters to affect the new system. We send the angels to clean out the leaven that is destroying the lump. We ask that they be converted by all the good things that are happening in the economy, like $2 trillion more investment in the stock market in one month and the Dow holding above 20,000, which has never happened. What a miracle!) Trump Win Set Off $2 Trillion Shock Rotation to Stocks from Debt Dow closes above 20,000 for first time as Trump orders send stocks flying
Many have prayed for God to have mercy. They are not ready for the Bride, nor their families. Trump may be an answer to prayer in giving us time. Let's ask God for mercy to be enabled to take advantage of what He has miraculously given. Let's believe for an impressive work in this world to bring the multitudes in.
In a dream given to Gaynold below, the Bride was very thin and we were going to the rehearsal and didn't know when the Marriage would come. Sounds like time is extended. It seems that two things must be destroyed before the people are ready to go as one into the wilderness behind the Man-child, the faction and their respect for the apostate church. A revival can do this, just like a miraculous revival in conservative thinking is in the world
Gaynold Mozer - 01/06/2017 (David's notes in red) A friend and I were going to a wedding. A young child (the Man-child reformer ministry) was also going with us. We were walking up a steep, narrow path. (The narrow road that leads to God's life.) All at once, there was a large tree uprooted and laying on the path that we were walking on. (A great falling away of people on the way to the Marriage Feast which begins at the tribulation seven days.) The first part of the tree that we saw were the bare, gnarly roots. They were short and small and had knots and kinks everywhere. There was no soil around any of the roots. (Small roots of a crooked life not rooted in the Word. {Mar.4:17} and they have no root in themselves, but endure for a while; then, when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway they stumble. {Hos.9:16} Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.) The diameter of the trunk of the tree was higher than I am tall. (There are many who claim to be in the Bride but they are tested and found unworthy, as it was in Esther.) Somehow we found ourselves on the other side of the roots. The trunk of this tree had red bark and was very long. (Edom means "red", as was Esau their father. They were rejected because they were factious and hated and abused their brother Israel.)
Patty received this text this morning by faith at random concerning this and then I shared this dream: {Eze.35:1} Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, {2} Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir (leadership of Edom or Esau), and prophesy against it, {3} and say unto it, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O mount Seir, and I will stretch out my hand against thee, and I will make thee a desolation and an astonishment. {4} I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah. {5} Because thou hast had a perpetual enmity, and hast given over the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the iniquity of the end; {6} therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: since thou hast not hated blood, therefore blood shall pursue thee. {7} Thus will I make mount Seir an astonishment and a desolation; and I will cut off from it him that passeth through and him that returneth. {8} And I will fill its mountains with its slain: in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy watercourses shall they fall that are slain with the sword. {9} I will make thee a perpetual desolation, and thy cities shall not be inhabited; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. {10} Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas Jehovah was there: {11} therefore, as I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, I will do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast showed out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I shall judge thee. {12} And thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, have heard all thy revilings which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to devour. {13} And ye have magnified yourselves against me with your mouth, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard it. {14} Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate. {15} As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it; and they shall know that I am Jehovah. It reminded me of the tall redwoods or sequoia trees I've seen in California. (The famous Redwood that cars drove through just recently fell in a wind in CA as a sign.) (Redwood trees have red bark and wood that is soft. The bark is said to be fire-resistant. Though this tree may have represented someone who had been on the path but fell away by faction. [Yes, like the Edomites.] The bark being fire-resistant may have represented pride not letting the flesh to be burned up and they were taken out.) We continued on the path until we got to the top (overcame the world) where there was a small, white chapel. (Not room for many.) We just got there when a very tall, slim woman in a bridal gown walked up to us and informed us that this was only a rehearsal--not the wedding. (The body of the Bride is "slim", meaning it is few in number but she is "tall", meaning she is exalted, great in the Kingdom.)
This fit another text we received this morning. God will narrow the chosen down. The proud and rebellious will be culled. Anna received by faith at random: {Zep.3:9} For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one consent. {10} From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering. {11} In that day shalt thou not be put to shame for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of thee thy proudly exulting ones, and thou shalt no more be haughty in my holy mountain. {12} But I will leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall take refuge in the name of Jehovah. {13} The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth; for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. {14} Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. {15} Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not fear evil any more. {16} In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack. {17} Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing. {18} I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach. {19} Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth. {20} At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah. That was a very unexpected comment. I realized I didn't know the time of the wedding and didn't have a watch. My friend, Linda, didn't have a watch either. (The bride, being very tall and slim, represented that she was not fleshly.) I didn't want to miss the wedding, so chose not to leave, but laid down on the ground. My friend and the young child did the same. (Not wanting to regress but keeping our place above the world to be ready for the marriage.) (This dream left me with many questions at the time and it seemed to me the Lord was silent, but other voices were speaking loud and clear. They were speaking of rejection, condemnation and unworthiness. It was a time to seek the Lord and replay my thoughts, actions and motivations to see if He would reveal to me anything in me to cause a separation between us. Again, I was not hearing anything. During the day, He would bring the dream to my mind, but at night the drawing was stronger. I now realize this was for a purpose--that I would seek Him and His Word without distractions. I truly thank and praise Him for His love and patience with me.) (In the natural my friend, Linda, had had rheumatic fever as a small child, which weakened her heart. She died at the age of 39 from a heart condition. She had been homeschooled through 9th grade and then attended the same high school as I did. The name Linda means "excellent virtue". This morning, I felt the Lord used my friend, Linda, to represent His saints who may be weak/sickly in heart, physically and spiritually, but are coming to Him that He may renew their strength and give them life. I believe the young child represented young believers with a desire for more of Him and to experience His presence.) (When I heard the word "rehearsal" I felt disappointment and frustration at not knowing the actual time of the wedding and not having a watch. I also felt "rehearsal" in this case was not Biblical. One night, the Lord had me search His Word to see His thoughts on the word "rehearse". I found that "rehearse" was used in the Old Testament using four different Hebrew words and two different Greek words in the New Testament. (A wedding rehearsal is the bride and groom acting the part so they will be efficient when put into the position. We must act like the Bride or we will never come into the position of the Bride. The feasts in the Bible are called "holy convocations", which means "a rehearsal". We keep the rehearsals so we are ready for the real thing.) Some of the verses are below. Rehearse(d): Judges 5:11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord,(Even) the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went down to the gates. 1 Samuel 8:21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord. Acts 14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles. This little study in the middle of the night brought peace of mind and thankfulness to the Lord for His Word to set me straight with His understanding. Rehearsing the Lord's acts and speaking His words are what each believer must do to renew their soul and spirit daily. Days later, the Lord gave me a list of words to ponder. As I thought on them, He would bring verses to mind. Dismayed (fearful, discouraged): Isaiah 41:10 fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Rest: Matthew 11:28,29 Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest for your souls. Hebrews 4:9-11 A sabboth rest remaineth therefore for the people of God 10 For who is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his work, as God did from Hisown. 11 Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, that no one fall after the same example of disobedience. Ground(ed): Colossians 1:23 if so that ye continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard preached in all creation under the heaven; Ephesians 3:17-19 that the Christ dwell in your hearts through faith in love, rooted and grounded, v18 so that ye be strong to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and depth and height, 19 and to know the love of the Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye be filled unto all the fullness of God. (Numeric Bible) (ASV--v17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. Stay(ed): Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whosemind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth in thee. Not moved: Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee: He will never suffer the righteous to be moved. Wait: (ASV) Isaiah 30:18 And therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you; and therefore He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for Him. (NLT) Isaiah 30:13 But the Lord still waits for you to come to Him so He can show you His love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for Him to help them. (This verse has spoken to many young hearts and given them hope.) Today, the Lord brought back a thought I had had about the chapel when I first had the dream. The small white chapel reminded me of the small one-room country school I had attended from K-8 grades. I grew up in the sandhills of Nebraska where there were not roads every mile. The school was built in the middle of a pasture, so it would be located in the middle of the district to make it equally accessible to all students. In the beginning, there were no maintained roads, so all were trail roads. One family rode horseback, another either walked or drove a little tractor and pulled a small two-wheeled trailer. My brother and I usually walked, as we were only 2 1/2 miles from school. This was a very small school with one teacher teaching all grades K-8. It was important that students encourage and help others to the best of their ability. There were no classroom aides back then. I felt the Lord brought this as a comparison. The Lord is accessible to all. He is there to teach His truth to all, regardless of their physical/spiritual maturity or the depth of their understanding. The route taken or the mode of travel are all the same to Him. He only wants us to come to Him, to believe in Him and let Him do a great work in each one of us. He wants only one room -- that there be no divisions; that we all learn, believe and live the same Gospel. Students helping others -- disciples. Ending at 8th grade -- a new beginning. He is our awesome sovereign God! Scriptures I received by random were: For the dream in general: Malachi 4:5,6 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. 6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (God is very serious about sending His word out.) The Bride: Ephesians 1:2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Rehearsal: Ezekiel 3:2 I wasn't sure about this, but felt this chapter was encouraging us to be a watchman, to speak the word of God so others around us wouldn't fall. Something interesting with the date I was given this dream: 1/06/17 | God + Man = Victory
