the purse of the little children

I keep thinking about the dream of the purse and the little children,of the previous post.
Little children cannot  earn money they must rely on their father to fill their purse.
I said to the children, your purse is better than mine,and their father smiled when I said it.
I am not sure if the current things happening in the USA relate to this dream,but we could do well to be like little children and trust our father to provide and fill our purse not rely on ourselves or on a collapsing system.(the crane and the fallout in the dream)

Wisdom is better than Money

I had a dream last week,a warning dream about finance.
I was a passenger in a van driving through a town I saw in the distance a crane collapsing, it also caused some construction to start falling,I told the people in the van that we may be impacted by the fallout,but they were not looking and slow to react
I got out of the car,I only had one shoe on, a sandal.
,I went to find Stuart to see if he saw the fall of the crane but he had been busy working and had been facing the other way attending to people.
we began walking into the town that was in some confusion,then Stuart handed me my shoe,someone from the Van had passed it on,I put it on and when I looked down the shoes had changed to a pair  that was closed in and suited much better for walking and the situation we found ourselves in.
I then found myself following someone from my past into a church,we looked for somewhere to sit,it began to rain hard,it had no roof,so I took shelter under a table,there I found two small children,they each were holding a purse,the same as my own,I said to the eldest,is that my purse?...,he said no and showed me,it was exactly the same but had pictures or illustrations on it. I said yes it is the same as mine,but it is better,the children's father was there listening and he smiled as I said this.It seemed important for me to say this to the child.
I believe the dream is a warning of financial collapse and fallout,The Church has an open roof,we meet together outside,
God will provide for our walk,( the right shoes )Wisdom is better then money, (the better  purse with pictures. )

Are you drinking dirty water?

Would you ever dip a glass in rotting meat and then fill the class with water from a water purifier and drink it.  It would seem silly, wouldn’t it? It would seem sillier to say that the water is pure so it should be safe. But this is exactly what many Christians do with God’s word.

Many people stand up and use God’s word to teach or make a point. They use it to justify one thing or another. Some even use it as a reason to justify some things which the bible clearly states is wrong.  But like the water example, how many people look at the vessel using the pure word of God. The bible states in Mathew 23:25“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

What the bible is saying here is that if the person is unclean on the inside then even though they may be using something good like God’s word, it is tainted by the wickedness within. No Godly truth can come from such a person. Anything they say should be disregarded.  So what should we be looking for? The bible talks about a person and their fruit. The bible states in Mathew 7 23 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. Again in Galatians 5 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

We need to look at the fruit of the person speaking. We need to see that they walk in love, humility, and self-control, leading people to God rather than themselves. Seeking to serve and glorify God and His righteousness rather than promoting themselves, a denomination or a fad.

If we listen to people who do not show good fruit, we will become sick and deceived. If we listen to people who  bear good fruit, we will be well nourished and will grow in Christ.

God Bless

Wake Up

last night attended an inter denominational prayer meeting, where we prayed for The Church to wake up! I have heard that myself when I am still sleeping in the morning,Jesus said wake up!
about six months ago I was reading the Bible down at a local beach,the scripture where Jesus says to his disciples why are you sleeping?
nearby was a man sitting on a bench,I had never seen him before,he asked me what was I reading and what did it say?
I was reluctant to tell him,,but he persisted in asking me,so I said 'why are you sleeping" he took a step backwards and looked shocked,it turns out he was a pastor in a  church from that area,he had just been to a Christian Community leaders meeting and was down the beach praying,he had also heard God speak that to him sometime earlier. I then told him a dream I had that week,
My husband and I were driving in NZ, laying,along the road in a very dangerous and precarious position were babies and alongside them were their teachers,they had their eyes open but appeared to be asleep.Why had these babies been left there?
I interpreted it to mean,The Church hasn't been making disciples of our babies and they are in a very dangerous and vulnerable place,we need to wake up.
The morning I met that pastor, I also heard on the car radio the song by Keith Green called Asleep in The Light.,it was very challenging, have a listen to it if you can.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXb45UTUFWU

Dream in NZ- breakthrough

Dream of breakingthrough

I had this dream just before the recent shakes in Seddon and Wellington.
I was traveling around NZ with a group of women,we were staying in a place that was below sea level,I looked out the window and saw that it was  very dark & raining hard and that it would flood,so I warned the powers that be and they listened ,We had to climb a steep ladder to safety,at the top were a group of women in a room that was like a bakery they were eating bread,at the door stood an officious woman with a clipboard that barred the way. Stuck on the ladder were hungry women. She said to me,you can't come in here as your names aren't on my list. I said something like,don't be stupid and pushed my way through.
three people gave me this interpretation, the bread was the bread of life, the officious woman with her rules and regulations could represent the church,the women the world and the darkness. We need to breakthrough to help these ones reach peace and sanctuary and the bread of life.
coincidentally last week, heard of a lady from Christchurch who came to playgroup at the local church,she lost a child in the earthquake,she truly is seeking peace and sanctuary,I pray that she does not meet religion but the bread of life.

Refreshment for our journey in the hardest part

Stuart and I went to Binna Burra to stay recently,this is a beautiful place near Lamington National park in S.E. Qld.
we had just lost our dear old cat of 15 years and needed a place of peace to come to terms with that.I also wanted to be quiet and hear from God.
the place we stayed was called Sky Lodges,spectacular views from the large expansive windows of the hills beyond,so peaceful and the sound of the forest birds, to serenade us, as we rested.We decided next morning to go for a short walk,we started out to walk to a lookout,and felt so good  we decided to go further,on what we thought was am easy 5 k walk,we had walked about 3.7 ks when we met a man,Stuart asked him if this was a loop track,the man replied,he wasn't sure but insisted we take his map and also insisted we take his spare bottle of unopened water,as he was heading back. There was something about this man,who carries two  bottles of water and a map to walk such a short distance?I wondered if he was an angel.It turned out I was going to need that water,the walk was narrow,with steep drops,it was heating up and further long the path the walking became harder and very steep as we ascended the escarpment,it was a beautiful walk,and we met a snake and three lizards and saw wonderful views and changing vegetation. at the very end the steepest part,we had to walk in the hot sun,no leafy boughs to shade me and I had to stop every 50 meters and have a drink of water,just to continue, nearing the end,( it turned out be 12 ks and rated hard)Stuart had to leave me near the park info centre at picnic table,with a bush turkey for company,I was exhausted and couldn't continue up the steepest part,he then power walked up the hill, to get the car.meeting other exhausted walkers,encouraging them and giving them directions for the last part. as I sat with my feathered friend,people came up to me, offered me water and congratulated me on walking as far as I had,they were very lovely and encouraging people.I had wanted to hear from God,and I had been thinking I am hearing nothing... but I lived it,this was like life,when we feel exhausted,doesn't God send those stronger then us to go the last hardest part,to get help for us,and doesn't he send us lovely people to encourage us and tell us how well we are doing. I don't know if that man was truly an angel,but God had provided a map for direction and water for refreshment just as he will continue to do that for all of us.. Guidance and direction just when we need it and refreshment and encouragement through the hardest times for our respective journeys through life.

assurance

I had this amazing thing happen a couple of weeks ago,I have been listening to guidance in my every day life.
I ask before I do things if I should go to certain places and wait for a yes or no,this has been so helpful in my own life,but recently it was also helpful in someone else's
I felt not to go to a regular thing I do once a week and asked should I go for a walk with a friend across town, early one morning,I received a yes,but I didn't have her phone number,so I asked should I text someone I know to get it,I got yes,waited for the reply,it took a while,kept asking for reassurance,got yes proceed.
received the number called my friend went to see her,it turns out she was desperate,she had been praying
she had just given the last of her money away to her daughter and  had nothing to pay bills or do grocery shopping, she had prayed for an answer by 10am that day.
I offered to take her grocery shopping and as we got to the till and I handed her the groceries and the change
I asked her what time it was,it was 9.55 am.
I was so happy to be guided to the right place at exactly the right time.
