This dream was originally given to me during
the last week of April. I e-mailed it to Prophetess Susan Cummings without
comment to see if what she would see would be in line with what the Holy Spirit
was showing me; and then I waited as I felt that something more was to be given
before it was released. Susan’s responses are in parenthesis.
Defilement –The
Armor of Saul
In the dream I am in a room
where there are no distinguishing features except a TV monitor in the wall.
(You already know that this
speaks of revelation being shown to you of future events or unfolding events.)
As I begin to watch, the most
beautiful woman I have ever seen comes on the screen. In my spirit I know
instantly that she is the Bride of Christ.
(Yes, she is the Bride of the
Lord.)
She has a very resolute look on
her face and begins to walk purposefully down a long corridor leading into an
open arena; ready for battle.
(She is determined to now walk
her course. She has decided to stand and to fight, and to no longer be held back
or defeated.)
I didn't see exactly how she was
attacked, but I became greatly enraged that she was being severely wounded or
defiled and was surrounded on all sides and was headed for certain defeat. I
did not see how or where she was being wounded or defiled; I just sensed she was
in the fight of her life.
(The Bride is fighting for her
life, but more importantly she is fighting for her authority. The devil is
challenging her right to live. She must win this time, and stand firmly!)
I ran outside, not knowing how I
would find her or where she even was. I only knew that I had to come to her aid.
(The Apostles will help her
stand firm and be planted in her position and to help her learn to rule from her
place of authority. She needs those who will help her, but not to do it for her.
She must now learn to BE the Bride.)
Immediately a very long stretch
limousine was in front of me. As I sat down in the back of this very plush limo
and instantly the chauffer accelerated to maximum speed.
(The Revival and Revolution that
is coming; this Limo is the New Breed who will not be stopped by man's laws and
controls. They will be ushered along by the wind of the Spirit.)
Note: In reflection the Limo to
me is more representative of the ambassadorship of the ‘New Breed.’ As
ambassadors for Christ, it is not our provision or resources that are
necessary. An ambassador for any sovereign nation utilizes the resources of the
nation he or she represents… So it shall be in the days ahead. Not the ‘arm of
the flesh’ squandering of resources that we see today; but availability of
natural and supernatural resources exceedingly and abundantly above all we would
ask or think.
We were driving down a street
with many stop signs and while I could not see the houses I got a sense from the
very large trees that made a canopy covering the road; that this was an old or
well established neighborhood.
(Many stops and blocks set up by
men and the enemy to keep all in order and controlled, with no room for free
expression to God. Old and well established is the former moves and ways of men
coming to an end).
As I said there were many, many
stop signs, and I became increasingly nervous as the chauffer ran all of them
when according to the traffic laws we should be stopping at almost every block
on the street.
(God will not stop for the
former ways or demands. He is coming back HIS WAY, and it will be radical and
revolutionary. The Bride is a Warrior, and will not be stopped by men anymore.
She is rising up to rule. Men's religious laws will not be her focus, but God's
Will.)
My sense though is that if I
wanted to get out of the Limo; I could do this at any time by simply opening the
door and the driver would pull over and let me out.
(If we want to pull out of what
God is birthing, we can, at any time. But we will miss God, and will be outside
looking in. We cannot do things the old way anymore).
Knowing that I had free will to
go on this trip or get out at any time eased my initial fear but; if I stayed in
the limo then I had no authority at all to tell the driver where to go. And as
much as I protested about obeying traffic laws, the driver seemed intent in
breaking every law no matter how dangerous or reckless it appeared. I sensed
though that all of this got us to our destination sooner.
The Holy Spirit is the driver of
the limo, and only He through the predetermined will of the Father decides where
the limo takes us.
Suddenly, I was in a room that
may have been a holding cell, or maybe an infirmary at a prison. I was sitting
on an army cot facing this beautiful woman who was lying on a cot next to me.
She was asleep and facing me and seemed to be in the middle of a troubled dream.
(She is waking up from her
troubled season, and is wrestling with death to break forth into life. She must
overcome this, and walk in her new authority.)
The only other thing I remember
was how filthy she was and how putrid the smell was as she had been defecated
and urinated upon.
(She has been laid waste for a
long time, and the world, men, and the devil, have all abused her. She will come
forth tried and purified as she cries out to the Lord.)
I was at the end of myself and
all I could do was cry out to the Lord as I was anguished in my spirit over her
condition, and because I knew not what to do. And the dream ended as I was
crying over and over. Help me Lord; I don't know what to do.
(God has His Plan for
redemption, and we must get HIS PLAN; not man's. That is why you didn't know
what to do. It is a Divine Blueprint that is now being unrolled and delivered to
His Apostles and Prophets, for this Hour. Allen, you are now about to receive a
major download of Truth that will help you to help her. Blessings, this is an
awesome dream!!! -Susan)
Additional revelation:
According to 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not
war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…” The
Spirit of the Lord has born witness to me that the bride of Christ is being
defiled because she is attempting to fight the demons of hell with the weaponry
of man.
Certainly the creative gifts in
the body of Christ will be seen in these days as we walk in the image of our
Creator; but what causes defilement among us is doing something because it
worked for someone else. Think about it… most if not all of the activities that
take place among God’s people are a result of implementing what worked
elsewhere. We build a new building because someone else did… we start our
services at certain times and (even more horrendous) we end our meetings at
predetermined times. Even the idea of Sunday school is practiced not because of
a direct revelation from the Father; but because the church that meets down the
street offers it. I could go on as the list is potentially very long.
The point is, from the
perspective of one being led by the Holy Spirit; every time we follow plans for
ministry that are conceived by a religious organization’s ‘how to – fill in
the blank – book’… we end up putting on Saul’s armor.
I am sure the Spirit is bearing
witness to you that had David battled the giant in Saul’s armor; the Philistines
led by Goliath (as a type of Satan) would have defeated the army of God that
day.
Think of the purity of faith in
David at this moment. He - much like Abraham had recounted the faithfulness of
God that he experienced in his short life; and remembered how the Lord had come
to his aid as he killed both a lion and a bear in his role as a shepherd. David
took these experiences and believed God for victory over and deliverance from
the hand of Goliath. And paraphrasing Abraham’s story: David …“believed in the
LORD, and He accounted to him for righteousness”… and gave David victory over
this “uncircumcised philistine.”
So then the question of another
Saul (who had become Paul) comes to the forefront, that question being; “Having
begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” The answer
of the church up to this point has been ‘yes we are perfected by the flesh’ as
we continue to put on the armor of Saul (cookie cutter methods / ministries of
others) in our attempts to serve the King of Glory.
As the body of Christ (cloaked
in the religious works of man) has continued down this path, it is has become
apparent to many that we are not prevailing against the gates of hell; instead
we are being defiled in our man - ordained attempts to serve in the armies of
the Living God.
To those reading this who are
choosing to be separated to the Father, obeying only the leading of the Holy
Spirit; you are part of a called forth remnant of the Lord in these last days…
and the Father has plans specifically given to you as one who is a minister of
reconciliation.
Consider for a moment the
vastness of the mind of Christ in this scripture:
How precious
also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the
sum of them!
If
I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I
awake, I am still with You. (Psalm 139:17-18)
Think of it: how many grains of
sand are there in the earth?... billions?... trillions?... This is the number of
times the Father has thought about each one of us; and so the smallest details
of our lives have been thought out for EACH ONE OF US. This is why it says in
verse 7: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your
presence?
Now take this revelation and
multiply it times the number of souls who ever walked the earth… from Adam to
this moment… and you have a number that cannot be conceived by the greatest
minds that ever lived or by the most powerful computer ever invented. This is
just one of the countless examples of the greatness of our Father; and one of
the reasons why the living creatures before His throne in heaven do not cease to
cry Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
With this in mind; each of us
has a choice… We can look at what our brother or sister in Christ is doing and
copy what they do; or we can enter into the presence behind the veil and tap
into the mind of Christ. This is part of the lesson in John 21:20-22: Then
Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had
leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays
You?” Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this
man?” Jesus said to him, “If I will that he remain
till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”
Don’t miss-read this… Paul said
for elders to be an example to the flock; he also said to follow him as he
followed Christ… So again; I am not talking about being a disciple of, or
trying to emulate an elder in the faith… I believe the Spirit of God is simply
saying to stop putting on the garments of men (armor of Saul) where your
ministry is concerned; and seek the Father for specific Holy Spirit breathed –
day to day, month to month, and year to year – instruction concerning the
ministry the Lord has for your life.
When you begin to habitually
walk this out you will find two things will begin to take place; 1) you will be
opposed by men and demons more than you ever have before, and 2) you will bear
more fruit than you ever thought possible.
It is these Spirit led sons and
daughters that all of creation is groaning for; and waiting for - in
anticipation of your appearing.
