I am the Vine

I dreamt I was in a field and I saw a tiny baby tree. It was fragile, and I was afraid the wind would blow it over, so I cupped my hands around it to protect it. Suddenly the tree started growing very rapidly. There was a full-grown vine next to it, and I realized this wasn't a tree, it was a vine.

I loved the vine. I thought about Him and wanted to be with Him all the time. Then one day I became one with the vine.

"He grew as a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground.." (Isaiah 53:2)

"I am the vine, you are the branches." (John 15:5)

By My Spirit

Dream 7/14/10:

I was playing a guitar in a concert, along with an older gentlemen who was the vocalist. Problem was, I didn't know how to play a guitar, but there was a full house and I knew I had to do something, so I just started strumming, and it sounded awful. Then I started to play another song, but this time the Spirit of the Lord moved through me. I used a guitar pick, and started strumming the strings in a circular motion. It was amazing! The crowd was wildly applauding.

After the concert, I thought "I really should learn how to play this guitar."

Symbols:

playing guitar: Trying to map your own path in life, set your own story.

circle: eternity, without beginning or end

This dream may be a message for the body of Christ. Has the Holy Spirit helped you to do something that in your own strength you could never accomplish? And then afterwards did you backslide into trying to control the situation, taking back the reins that were Christ's alone?

From my dear friend Teresa via the Holy Spirit:

"I saw that it was as though you were the instrument and when you allowed the Spirit of God to utilize you, the crowd or the people you encounter, gave glory to His awesome Name! When the guitar was played or when you were doing things the way you only knew...it wasn't right, nor will it ever be....for God is the Creator of Your life...He knows how you have been designed according to His beautiful destiny. I don't want to strum my own efforts; but I want God to strum His desires through me, making a melody of grace exposing His Glorious Name for others to praise! "

The Dancer

"Because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth." (Jer 31:4)

Prophetic Dream:

I dreamt I was in a room full of people, watching some girls dancing through a window. The first girl danced rather robotically and stiff. I was disappointed that she didn't put very much effort into her dancing. Then the second girl came out. At first she danced rather shyly and reserved. But during the Grand Finale she suddenly broke loose and gave it her all. The crowd gave her a standing ovation.

There was a structure in which to put tips for the girls. I put 2 dollars into the second girl's bin. I regretted that the first dancer didn't shine this brightly. If she had, I would have gladly tipped her as well.

Below is an interpretation of the number 2 taken from E.W. Bullinger's website:


We now come to the spiritual significance of the number Two. We have seen that One excludes all difference, and denotes that which is sovereign. But Two affirms that there is a difference.

When the earth lay in the chaos which had overwhelmed it (Gen 1:2), its condition was universal ruin and darkness. The second thing recorded in connection with the Creation was the introduction of a second thing—Light; and immediately there was difference and division, for God DIVIDED the light from the darkness.

The second of any number of things always bears upon it the stamp of difference.

Are you the first or second dancer? God wants you to break out of your shell and dance like you've never danced before. Let's live out loud!
