A Church Closed – Another Dream

A Church Closed – Another Dream
Sunday, July 24, 2016

This morning before I woke up I dreamt that I was at a party in this cool old house. If I had to guess I’d say it was built around the 1950’s; there was lots of natural wood and it was cool and eclectic.

As I wondered around enjoying the house I went into a room with a round table. There was food and probably drinks on so I started to get something when my “son” Amos walked in. (He is the little boy at church who calls me Mom and I call him son.) If I remember right I talked to him for just a minute and he turned, walked back down the hallway, opened the second door on this right and went in.

I noticed the hallway wasn’t that long so I walked down it and at the end of the hall to the left there was a sanctuary. I walked in and thought, or maybe even said, “Oh wow this is so cool!” But the pews were not in a row, they were in disarray, dusty and a few of them looked like they were stacked on top of each other. The pews were on the far side of the church, they would have been to my left. I also noticed a talk, young, thin, black man to my left, he was holding a film camera and was recording. It was an older film camera not like the short compact ones they have today but larger maybe two foot long, give or take.

Then I looked to my right where the platform was and there was a tall heavyset black lady on her knees with a paint gun in her hand. She was spraying the pews with, what looked to be, a shiny varnish. They looked brand new, very shiny and pretty not like the older pews on the other side of the church.

I went and stood beside her and I realized that the church was closing. I said, “On no that’s terrible. My Mom and I was just here Wednesday night for service.” She turned to me and said, “I thought you looked familiar.”

Then it was time to leave, that was the last few moments that the church was open so I walked with her to the back of the church past the disheveled pews and we went outside. I was going to help them load the truck when something distracted me on the side of the house. – The outside was a house.

I went around to the right side of the house where I saw three large gages, like, large enough to put a child in. – Or a gigantic bird! I really liked the white one, the top of the cage came to a peak. I looked at the price tag and it said $16. Then I looked over and I saw Amos again. He was there packing a large box and I started to help him. I asked him if he was excited about the move and I think he said yes because he had never ridden a horse before. We stared to talk and I woke up.

***On A Side Note***

I find it very interesting that yesterday morning I dreamed about a snake and this morning I dreamed that a church, one that I did not recognize, was closing. I don’t know if they are related but it certainly is interesting.

My Brother’s A Snake! – A Dream I Had

Saturday, July 23, 2016

I’m not really sure how this dream started, I know the outside was a different house than I have not. There were guests over, I think I had just moved in and that was my housewarming party. But when I walked inside it was very similar to this house.

When I got to the back bedroom all my things had been rearranged and I was fussy about it asking why they, my Mother and brother, had moved everything around. My brother was standing at the back wall messing with something on the wall.

The next thing I knew I was sitting on the bed and he was laying down beside me on his stomach, I guess we were talking. Then when I looked down at him his tongue started to slide in and out of his mouth like a snake. I jumped and looked closer and he kept doing it. I screamed out to my mother to hurry and come in there but she was taking her sweet time, she was eating something and just thought I was being dramatic.

When she finally got to the hallway I said, “Look at Wayne!” It didn’t faze her. By this time his eyes were straight slits like a snake and I held his face still as he continued to slide his forked tongue in and out of his mouth. Mamma looked at it and again, it didn’t faze her.

By this time Mamma was sitting on the bed with me and Wayne was laying between us on his stomach so I held his head so she could look at him. I had a much better view of his tongue now, it was very long and thin except for the end where it split into three prongs. The two on the side were thick and the one in the middle was thinner. It was also the same color as a human tongue, not black like a snake. The next think I knew he was gone, I figured that he had slithered under the bed which was confirmed my something brown he threw up before he went under.

As I sat on the bed with my Mother I couldn’t talk at all. She of course was not understanding this. I kept mouthing to her, “PRAY FOR ME! PRAY FOR ME!!” but she just wasn’t understanding me. Finally I took her hand and put it on my mouth or chest and the other one on my head and mouthed again, “PRAY FOR ME!!!” Still nothing, she did not understand me and she did not pray for me.

By this time my brother was out from under the bed standing straight up and down saying that he had to leave. I kept trying to tell Mamma that we needed to pray for him but she just nothing but she got up to talk him out.

I took hold of his head and looked at him straight in the eyes and his eyes shifted back to straight slits. I was desperately trying to get Mamma to help me pray for him but she just stood there like she didn’t understand what was happening.


By this time we had backed up into the living room and as I was struggling to talk, to pray, it looked like he was smiling at me though his snake eyes and forked tongue. I keep trying to talk but nothing was coming out. Finally I started staying, “JES…JES…JES…” I was trying to scream out “JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!!” and he knew it too b/c he started to get scared. Then right as I said, “JESUS!!!” in the dream I was awake screaming, “JESUS!!!”


Interpretation

I believe that I have part of an interpretation for this dream. Obviously the snake represents demonic possession. And I believe that the reason his lounge had three prongs means that he lies to everyone; friends, family, and the people he works with. And I believe the vomit represents that is words have venom in them. His words are poisonous and wound people. But what I don’t understand is why my mother wasn’t reacting to anything b/c she wouldn’t be like that in real life. I also don’t understand why all of the sudden I couldn’t speak. Does that mean that satan is trying to silence my prayer life?

Friend Or Foe?

So I started thinking about this song and when I watched the video it's how I feel. Don't stand there and hug my neck and smile at me then run and tattle on me the next! You are a liar and a Jezebel and I mark you as such. I will speak truth weather you or anyone else likes it. This video shows a lot, the seducer, Jezebel, is trying to control the nice guy, in the case Adam Ant. Yes I realize this is a worldly video, don't email me, but the devil has been shaking my hand and hugging my neck and it does kind of go a long with this video. I'll post the lyrics under it so you'll understand it better.


Adam Ant - Friend Or Foe
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IP-2Ck-wak






Lyrics
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tri-tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect so leave me if you object

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers

When you're a pirouetting (twirling, rotating), high-kicking, thigh slapping cruiser
When you're a hip grinding, spellbinding, clean cut seducer
You have to be careful so people take note
I take it serious, but I still like a joke

I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers or my enemies
I want those who get to know me
To become admirers

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tri-tried
But still you say that I lied
Nobody's perfect
So leave me if you object

Take it up or leave it
I'm not gonna change a bit
If it means heartache
Then leave it out for your sake
I tried and I tri-tried
To take care of my insides
Nobody's perfect
So leave me if you object

Let No Man Put Asunder Word Study

If you call yourself a "Christian" couple and there is no Holy righteousness and jealousy over the fact that your spouse is good friends with the opposite sex then either God didn't put you together or you are ignorant of the scriptures.

NO ONE, for any reason, should come between a man and wife. PERIOD! No ministry, no supposed prophesy, no work done in the church, no friendship with the opposite sex, no other church, not even your pets should come between you, not if you’re really walking in alignment with the scriptures.

That means that you don’t give someone of the opposite sex a ride if your spouse is not with you. You’re not hanging out not eh phone with someone of the opposite sex. You don’t sit with someone of the opposite sex unless it’s a family member. Nothing and no one should be between you because fi they are then why are you even together?

Perhaps God didn’t put you together and you got saved afterwards and you want God to bless your marriage and that’s good but if that’s the case then the two of you need to get together and cut off some old communications and cut that thing off.


Here is a word study on what “let no man put asunder” really means. You will notice that they mean the same thing in both scriptures because it is by two or more witnesses that something is established so I pray this blesses you. 

P.S. - If you are NOT a Christian couple then this does not apply to you.
