Choose to Endure

It's been since August, but I have often thought about this dream I had. The dream was in three parts, the first part of which prohibited me from sharing all of it because it's interpretation was personal as well as confirmation regarding something I had been troubled by. The Lord has since given me peace about the first part and has laid it upon me to share the remaining two parts. The dream:

Part 2: I immediately found myself with another young woman, a teenager probably no older than 18, also leaving. [The first part of the dream took place in a hospital] We were on the banks of a muddy creek outside of the hospital, swollen with flood waters. She said we had to escape and to follow her because she knew the way out. At that moment, sections of privacy fencing, mattresses, and other large raft-like objects were being swept past. She jumped on a mattress and told me to jump on the next thing - a fence section. I did, but realized I had a book in my hands. 

I looked at the thick heavy book and it was one of the Harry Potter books. I started to sink on my makeshift raft and knew I had to get rid of the book. When she saw that I was going to throw it away she asked me "Are you sure you want to do that?" as if testing my heart, but without even thinking, I chunked it into the raging water, very willingly getting rid of the filth that I didn't even want in the first place. I had no idea why it had appeared in my hands to begin with. As soon as I had chunked it, my raft floated freely and we rushed down the swollen creek. 

Soon we came to a large culvert-like tunnel. The girl got off her raft and I did likewise. She said we had to enter the tunnel, but she warned me that "he" was in there and could devour me if I wasn't careful and watchful. I wondered who or what "he" was. As we entered the tunnel in chest deep water, I saw the long body and tail of an alligator swimming away from us and down an adjacent connected pipe/tunnel.

I was relieved that "he" the alligator, was leaving even though I was never afraid. We came to the end of the tunnel and hit a literal wall, but there was a pile of broken stone and debris with a tight small hole right above, at face level. It was no bigger than my waist and being a larger woman I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to fit. The girl encouraged me and said I'd be surprised with what I could do and so I squeezed my way up through the hole, climbing out, and yes, amazed that I fit through it. 

I was immediately greeted by a group of ragtag people who looked like they had just been through the river and tunnel themselves. They were on a mossy and grassy bank overlooking the river and looked to be setting up a camp. There was a middle aged man and I asked who they were. He said, "You know who we are." I asked, "The underground church?" He nodded his head yes and then the dream shifted to Part 3: where I was suddenly facing a grassy yard and a softball sized yellowjacket nest hole in the ground. 

It was night, but moonlit. I was cautiously making my way to the nest to kill them, I assume with wasp spray that may or may not have been in my hands, I can't truly remember. I could see my shadow (from the light of the moon) and noticed the shadows of many other people who I didn't see, but were with me, moving over the hole in the moonlight. I briefly wondered how the moon could be so bright that our shadows were obviously visible and wondered if it would alert the yellowjackets to our presence. 

Well, as soon as our shadows rested upon the yellowjacket hole, a yellow jacket larger than a normal yellow jacket (think cicada killer size, huge), zoomed out to the south on attack mode. Immediately following that one, another one zoomed out to the southeast, and each one was succeeded by a yellowjacket zooming out to attack - each in a different cardinal direction. Then it came to us, who were standing on the west of the hole. But instead of there being just one yellow jacket, a whole swarm - hundreds - came out to attack us and we were overcome. Then I woke up. 

I pray that my interpretation of these things be true and of the LORD. As someone who seeks the Lord and strives to hear His voice, I never want to say what He has not said nor put my own fleshly error upon that which is from Him. Take this dream and its meaning to the Lord in prayer, if He reveals anything further to you, please share it with much fear of the Lord in the comments either on this page or where I have shared it personally on Facebook. 

Many Christians now are facing and have faced in the previous year, the decision to choose who they follow: Christ or the world/Beast. For those of us who have made our choice and choose Jesus, the road will be a difficult one. Like in my dream, we can expect a torrential flood of suffering and difficulty. A flood of evil coming against us with the sole intent to sweep us away and destroy us, killing the light of Christ within us. However, the Lord is mighty to save with his rafts. The Harry Potter book that suddenly appeared in my hands causing my raft to sink represents how many Christians are still clinging to the world. 

So many still have idols in their hearts and still love the things of this world. Now, as a disclaimer, I used to be heavy into the occult and the magical - being a "super fan" of even Harry Potter. I repented of the wickedness and got rid of everything years ago. So no, this was not representative of me still participating in that filth. It represents, like I said, Christians still clinging to it!

Just as I didn't hesitate to cast it out and away from me, so should Christians today not hesitate to get rid of all filth, wickedness, sin, and idolatry. You cannot navigate the days ahead if you are still clinging to this world! I repeat: you cannot  expect to reach safety if you still have idols, overt sin, and worldly desires/covetousness/unforgiveness/etc.... Throw it all away! Seek the Lord and ask Him to reveal all filth and idols in your life. Let His rushing waters of life cleanse you! Cast out those demons and unclean spirits and choose Jesus! Just as my raft immediately floated after discarding that wicked book, so too will you be able to face the difficult days ahead. 

And just as that young woman asked me if I was sure I wanted to get rid of the book, so too must we be resolved to make the decision to reject this world in order to truly follow Christ. We cannot look back as Lot's wife did on the day that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed. We cannot look back with our hands on the plow (Luke 9:62). 

You either follow Christ or you do not. There is no fence sitting or in between. There will come a time when we will enter the dark dirty tunnel of danger when Satan lurks like a deadly alligator prowling to devour all who enter. However, do not be afraid because the Lord will be with you. Why the alligator went off down another tunnel rather than coming after us is a mystery to me, but I will allude it to the guiding hand of my Lord. He will not always allow us to come under the attack of the enemy, but whether He allows us to suffer or whether He protects us - we are to trust in Him and not be afraid. 

The small opening at the end very heavily reminded me of the passage where Jesus tells us that few will enter the narrow gate. It was a hole that looked too small for my large body to ever squeeze through, much less be able to even stick my head through. However, I trusted in the Lord and somehow climbed through. We have to trust that Jesus will do what He said He will do; His grace is sufficient for us. We cannot enter that narrow gate on our own. We cannot do a single thing to earn our salvation. We can only believe and trust in the Lord's Word. And what did it take? Leaving the world and sin behind me, trusting in the Lord to get me through, and being obedient to Him. 

The small group of people setting up camp on the other side and saying they were the "Underground Church" doesn't need much interpretation. As the days grow longer and the world gets darker, as the prophecies of the Bible are fulfilled, we will become a remnant. We already are in a way....It's easy to see where it is all headed. Whether now is the time or not, eventually, here in America (and other western European culture nations), we will have to go underground just like our brothers and sisters in nations that do not allow Jesus to be spoken of or taught. 

Going underground is nothing to be feared, but we must prepare. Can you say goodbye to the traditions of man in order to walk in righteousness with the Lord? Can you abandon doctrinal errors, vain repetitions, religiosity and churchianity in order to fellowship and worship the Lord in spirit and in truth? Are you willing to meet in secret in homes and even undesirable places, leaving behind the idea that church is only located behind a pretty building with its sign out front? It is a decision many have faced before, are facing now, and will soon face.

So many churches have bowed to the beast system, so many provide watered down or even artificial milk to drink rather than offering the real nourishing meat of the Word of God. So many Christians are teaching that the covid jab has nothing to do with Revelation 13 when it does! It is the foundation! It is a facet! And it has proven how so few even seek the Lord and know His Word. 

So many churches today have transformed themselves to look like the world in order to increase their attendance and to justify their own sin. So many have made a god in their own image. So many have rejected the presence of the Holy Spirit and hosted demons instead - a table of idolatry and wickedness. Idolatry and wickedness in the church does not have to look like a golden statue of Buddha or orgies in the sanctuary. It can look like ultra patriotism with flag/nation worship.  It can look like sexual immorality in the secrecy of the members' homes.  It can look like occult/secular media being indulged in during youth group.  It can look like the very Word of God being twisted, cherry-picked, used only as a side note, or even outright forgotten. And it can look like a different Jesus and gospel being taught - as an ultra tolerant god of love, peace, and happiness rather than the GOD of righteousness, holiness, and judgment, on top of love, peace, and life.

And finally, the last part of my dream was a warning of what we can expect in the days to come. I was led to Revelation 11:7 which says, "When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them." 

My first reaction to the moonlight casting shadows and it being night time is that we are in the end times, the times of darkness. However, the light of Christ shines on us - to where every one will see and know that we belong to Him. There will be no hiding, there will be those who belong to Jesus and those who do not. Me not being able to see the others with me represents other Believers all over the earth, both those I know and those I do not. Sometimes it feels like we are all alone and will feel that way in the days to come, but we are not. The Lord has His remnant all throughout the earth. 

The yellow jacket bees represent how Satan has been strategically attacking Believers in every conceivable direction. One yellow jacket bee sting hurts, however when the whole swarm comes after you....The dream was clear as is Scripture: we will face the wrath of Satan and we will be overcome.

Does that mean Satan will be 100% victorious at all times and with every Believer? No. Does that mean we rise up and fight back against tyranny like many churches in the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation/Dominionist) movement is teaching? No. What it does mean is don't be surprised when our day comes and we are persecuted like never before. Don't sit there amazed at your suffering. Don't be afraid and don't give in, no matter how hot the fire gets and no matter what you must endure. 

American Christians, especially, are not immune to suffering. Just because we've lived the pampered spoiled life (relatively) doesn't mean we won't see suffering here. There will be no "pre-trib rapture" to whisk us away before we can suffer. No, we will not experience God's wrath and will be gathered unto Him. However, Scripture does not say that we will not be subject to Satan's wrath through the Beast and AC (AntiChrist). I wish churches here would stop teaching people that the Tribulation and God's wrath are the same. They are not! God's wrath is final and those who belong to Christ are not subject to it. 

But, many times in Scripture does the Lord tell us that it will be awful for those who follow Him from the beginning of the early church to the final end days saints. We will suffer, be tortured, persecuted, and killed. Are you willing to go through all that for Him? Are you willing to lose your job, your family, your children, your home....everything because you stand firm in Christ and refuse the mark of the beast and refuse to conform to this world? Are you willing to see those you love suffer and die?  Are you yourself willing to endure extreme pain and suffering for Christ? 

Many say without a thought that they would die for Him....but woe to those who quickly say they'd die for Christ, yet have already caved in with the covid jab: knowing what's in it (fetal cells, animal DNA, heavy metals, poison) and how it's made (using aborted fetuses, DNA altering mRNA, deceitful practices...), all because they wanted life to be "normal" again or they gave in to fear (for themselves or others).  They put their trust in man rather than the Lord. Do you know that you are embracing the world when you do that? You chose the world, not Christ! Do you not know that this world leads to death and Hell? Live for Christ! It is not selfish to refuse to defile your blood with that abomination jab. It does not make you a conspiracy theorist; it is standing for Christ! Nothing on this earth is worth denying Christ over: not spouses, not children, not country, not career, not even self. But Christ is worth enduring every form of suffering over. 

Repent and fast whether you got the jab or not, making the resolution today that you will from now on live, suffer, and even die for Christ if that is the Father's will. Time is running out. The world is getting darker and I often feel like I am repeating myself over and over like a broken record. Though my dream doesn't reveal anything new, it is a stark reminder that we have  to put our trust in the Lord alone, we have  to get rid of all filth and idols in our life, and we have believe that Jesus will give us life in the end - if only we endure and overcome until either we see Him return in glory or we close our eyes in death. 

I hate sounding so harsh and to some people condemning - but I speak honestly. If you can't say no now, if you can't stand up for Christ now, if you can't endure persecution and uncomfortable living now.....why do you think you'll be strong enough when the days become pitch black with wickedness and the AntiChrist rules, when Satan wages war against the saints and we are overcome? Again, do not cling to the false hope of a pre-trib rapture. Cling to the hope of enduring through Christ Jesus alone.  

Grace and peace to you my Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
