The Rising Remnant

Dream:  On January 25th, I dreamt that I had vacated my position at work, and turned in my access cards and ID.  There was a group of American Indian tribes-people who "knew" me and came to take me back with them to somewhere. I was willing to go with them as they were familiar to me.  

There was a ruckus caused which detained us, when the position I had vacated, which was symbolized by an actual antique chair made from black walnut and worn smooth with time, was claimed for "ANOTHER" American Indian person from the tribe. 

The tribes-people were absolutely insistent that they would accept nothing less and were going to take the chair with them if need be to secure the position. The chair had been in a large old boardroom setting with dark wood paneling and rich furnishings that the chair seemed to be "at home" in— But when they tried to take the chair, they could not get beyond a large steel door in a modern hallway with security access which none were able to access, since I had turned my badge in. The dream ended there, unfinished…

A.B. --dreamer

Interpretation:  This dream is a revelation about the American Church.  The Church has left its post or position (in the boardroom) and given up its ability to enter into many of the decision making processes (whether government or business).  Its focus on comfort and not offending anyone has caused it to be less involved in the culture around it.  It has chosen to adopt or overlook morals that would have been unacceptable in the past. 

The Indians are a symbolic representation of the “remnant” of Christians who are still focused on seeking the things of God.  They have passion and desire to follow the foundational principals of Christianity. The Lord wants to bring the Church back into a passionate relationship with Him:  One that merges Biblical understanding with an intimate relationship with Him; opening up new levels of understanding of the Lord…deeper recognition of who He really is.    

Black Walnut is characteristic of a species of tree that requires a lot of water and light…in Christianity, light refers to God and water refers to baptism or “flow” from the Lord through individuals for His purpose to be brought forth. The walnut wood is a hardwood, but is easy to mold and shape in woodworking…symbolic of a Christian life…strong and durable, but easy for the Lord to mold and shape.   The worn nature of the chair symbolizes much use and a position that has been held for a long time.   A chair symbolizes authority, rest and spiritual warfare.

 “Another” represents a new remnant of Christians who are rising up.  This group seeks after a passionate relationship with the Lord and rejects the “status quo” many people in the church have grown to accept. The foundation of their walk with the Lord is passion for Him and being sold out completely to His Will and calling.  This requires constant vigilance, prayer intercession and a life that is dedicated to listening closely to the still quiet voice of the Lord.

 The authority is being transferred.  The Lord will not allow the vacated position to be given over to the secular world, but to “another,” or rising remnant.  The plans and purposes of the Lord will still come to pass whether we personally fulfill the call we have or not.  He will raise up a group who will repent (to change their mindset) and rise up to fulfill the calling He has.  This doesn’t mean that it will be done outside the Church, but it does mean that “church” may look different than what it has been for the last several decades.   

The doors and modern hall is a picture of the barriers in place by the modern church.  Many things of the past have been discounted or thought to be only in the past.  This may fall in the area of dreams, interpretation, healing, miracles, etc. As the Lord releases the things prophesied about it Joel 2:28, many within the modern church will have difficulty accepting the work of the Lord. But those who do will be able to be a part of the rising remnant and will be able to claim the inheritance symbolized by the board room chair.

Orange Battlefield

Battle Field part 1:  December 30, 2008--An army moved across a battle field.  The army was made up by the Saints of the Lord.  They moved together, but stood far enough apart so that they could move or fight without injury to the other.  Each face were set with great determination and purpose.  They advanced with no hesitation.  Even when the enemy attacked in a type of guerilla warfare, the soldier would dispatch the enemy with a forceful movement and then continue on.  .

There was a lot of orange colored smoke blowing across the field.  The visibility was hazy, but the army could still see.   The soldiers were dressed in battle armor and had many different types of weapons.

Interpretation:  The Army of the Lord is fighting back.  The move of God that occurred in the spring of 2008 was answered with a strong backlash from the enemy in late summer and fall of 2008.  Now the Saints are beginning to move again.  They have regained perspective and are able to move forward with a sense of focus and purpose.  They are equipped for the battle and determined not to let the enemy attacks hinder them in their forward movement of the higher call of God.  In addition, they move forward together in unity.  They give each other a respectful distance so that each can fulfill the purpose of thier calling, but are not so far as to be out of reach to lend aid or help.  

The enemy's tactics are revealed.  He seeks to come out of the smoking haze he has created and find a person who is disoriented or unable to see.  He is finding that the Saints have been equipped with more capabitlites than he realized and is being quickly dispatched by those who have allowed the Lord to prepare and equip them.  Forward progress is not hindered.  

The Cliff

Battle field part 2:  January 8, 2009--I saw a cliff/ridge lined with many people.  They looked out over a valley.  It was filled with orange smoke.  They could see the Army of the Lord on the battlefield and engaging the enemy. 

The people standing on the ridge were dressed in many different types of clothing.  Some were generals and dressed in full armor.  Others were intercessors and prayed continuously.

The Lord spoke and a white eagle flew off the ridge.  It turned to the left and flew along the ridge at the chest or eye level of those on the ridge.  As the eagle flew, it relayed a message the Lord had given it before it took off.    It carried instructions and encouragement.  

A brief picture flashed  before me of a battle of old where the commander would send others up and down the ranks to encourage and ready the soldiers for battle, just as the battle was about to be fought.   One of the things being released was that the hidden ones --those who had been hidden away and trained by the Lord were rising up. The word “reinforcements” was released.  

These reinforcements rose up from the haze on the battle field and began to join the battle.  The vision faded...

Interpretation:  This is a vision of the spiritual battle we fight as the army of the Lord.  Those who are called to be Watchers on the wall for intercession and those who are called to be generals in the Army of the Lord stand in a place where they can see the battle field.  The intercessors would help them by adding prayer covering.   The generals were able to see the strategy of the enemy and were able to make more informed decisions regarding the battle. 

Are You Sleeping?  Are You Sleeping?

In a vision, I was taken by the Lord to a building.  The building looked a lot like a church.  I was in the front looking out over the seats.  They were divided into several sections that were separated by aisles.  At the front of each section was a short wall that might have been thigh high.  All the chairs in each section were connected to the short walls.

People were sitting in the chairs behind the wall.   The people were in different stages of awareness.  Some of the people were sleeping, while others were awake.  Some looked very alert while others looked half asleep.  The Lord said, "Watch!"  He took His hand and started shaking the walls.  All the chairs in the room began to shake.  Some of the people woke up and looked around with bewilderment, others shouted.  Some of the people continued to sleep.

Interpretation:  The people represented different individual churches (not denominations).  The Lord said the vibrations created by Him shaking the wall represented what He was doing with the church as a whole.  He showed me what each response to the shaking represented.

The people who shouted when the walls were shaken represent the churches who have been vigilant and are ready for this new move of God.  They are ready to step out!

The people who woke from a state of sleep and were bewildered are churches that recognize the Lord is moving, but are just waking up to what He is doing. They will have to "get their bearings" and make a choice as to if they will step into what the Lord is doing or not.  

The last group of people who remain sleeping are the churches who have become dulled to what the Lord is doing.  They have become desensitized and are unaware of what is happening in this time.  If they continue to sleep, they will miss what God has for this time.
