When the World Hates You - UBM [David Eells]

{Joh.15:18} If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you. {19} If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. {20} Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

{Luk.6:22} Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you [from their company], and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. {23} Rejoice in that day, and leap [for joy]: for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

In this dream, I was in a public place (like work) and I heard that the name "David Eells", amongst other ministers, was spoken of on the news. Then I looked down and I saw Time and Newsweek magazines and your name was also featured on the front page of those magazines. So I called you to tell you about this media exposure. You had asked where it was, so I began to look at the magazine and locate it for you. It was on the bottom left side of the cover, listed with two or three other ministers' names. I had the feeling that the story was not necessarily favorable (as the news has a way of spinning these things) and I am sure you can imagine what the mainstream media could do with the articles that you have posted on your site. However, I actually had a very good feeling that the Lord was going to use the mainstream attention to bring more people to your ministry.

For example, the mainstream media has done everything they can to destroy Sarah Palin but she is now setting records for books sold and TV ratings when interviewed. The media has attempted to destroy her personally, economically and politically (she had to spend $ 500,000 of her own money in frivolous lawsuits brought about by the left) to diminish and slander her, but the Lord has used all of this to make her a multimillionaire -- more relevant and more popular than ever, setting records for TV ratings and book sales. I believe that the media will do this same thing to your ministry and it will have the same effect. So when this happens, know that the Lord is laughing at their wicked schemes.

(Psa.37:12-15 GW) The wicked person plots against a righteous one and grits his teeth at him. The Lord laughs at him because he has seen that his time is coming. Wicked people pull out their swords and bend their bows to kill oppressed and needy people, to slaughter those who are decent. But their own swords will pierce their hearts, and their bows will be broken.
