Spirit of Christ protects from seducing and deceiving spirits

Dreams from Allen

This first dream was sent to me by a person we used to go to church with, she thought it was for me but I feel it is more for her. Can you please take a look? The second dream is mine.

In the dream, Dwight and I were visiting you in Texas.

The first thing we did was go to a state park. We swam in the lake and when we got out of the lake, Angie (My Wife) said to me” Do you see the Alligators?” I did and I was in shock that we were swimming in the lake with alligators. I said,” Oh my goodness, we were swimming with alligators?!” and Angie said, “No there was a fence under the water that keeps them out of the swimming area.” I was still disturbed and was concerned that they could get through the fence. I said, “Well, I’m still not sure I could swim in there again because the fence feels a little too risky to me”

From the park we were going to visit your church. We were driving and we went over a little hill and as we crested the hill it was like a roller coaster hill that literally took my breath away. I said to Angie, that I did not know there were hills like this in Texas. And she said, “Oh Yes!” We proceeded through an industrial town and came to a church on the other side of the town. It did not look like a church.

Allen was very excited to have us visit. He was passionate as he shared his love for this new church. He may have referenced a book the pastor had written. We had to wait out in the foyer area because there were multiple services.

We went in. The pastor was a good preacher and at the end of the service I asked people why they had moved here to go to the church and everyone said it was because the church was so family friendly. Multiple people told me the same thing. That family was very important to God and they needed to move here for that purpose.

** This dream represents endorsement to the dreamer about the spiritual life that you have where love that is of God in the family is foundational (family friendly church).

1Jo 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jo 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jo 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

This is the life where there is no fear, as from fear of evil activities of principalities of the darkness of this world (swimming with alligators) or fear of the ups and downs of everyday-life experiences (roller coaster hills); these only serve to refine life of the love of God in the individual, in the family and in the church.

1Pe 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

The spiritual life being highlighted here is not typical religious church life (church that did not look like a church). Rather, it is one with mature church leadership where through the direct teaching of the Spirit of God the pastor is able to creatively write a book on what he teaches. Perhaps this is church of the New End Time Church Order (NETCO) that the D&V List has been proclaiming, where being directly taught and led of the Spirit of God is the primary thing for those going on unto perfecting the maturity of Christ.

Dream 2 MY DREAM

In my dream I was sitting at a dinner table with my wife and daughter and some other people. Then all of the sudden a huge lion walked up to the table. I felt very uncomfortable, for obvious reasons. He said he was hungry I told him we only had spaghetti. The lion took some and after he had finished he said he was still hungry. I was still very uncomfortable because he (the lion) was still hungry and my daughter was there. So I said to the lion I have an idea why don’t you and I go hunting for a deer, He agreed.

We were standing in this field talking. (The longer I spent time with him the more I felt comfortable with him) I then saw a fox running down this hill I said to the lion to look. As he looked the fox turned into a dragonfly and flew toward us. The Lion swatted it and we continued to talk. I woke up.

** From a biblical perspective, the alligator/dragon symbolism of Dream 1 means something very different to the lion of Dream 2. The hungry lion that materialized in your dining room referred to the resurrected lion of the tribe of Judah - Jesus Christ. The scene in the dream pertained somewhat to the following incident from the Gospels:

Luk 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Luk 24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Luk 24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luk 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Luk 24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet.
Luk 24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
Luk 24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of a honeycomb.
Luk 24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

If both dreams were received at about the same time then they could be addressing the same message and thus complement each other. Here Dream 2 is showing how the love of God, as embodied in the lion of the tribe of Judah, is present in the fellowship and teaching of the NETCO household. The presence of the Spirit of Christ to directly teach and guide believers (lion at the dinner table) is awesome and not to be feared.

Many church leaders fear for their congregation to be directly taught and led of an invisible Spirit as they may depart from safe mainline teaching. That is, they fear folks being weaned from milk of the teaching of flesh and blood parent-ministers into meat of the direct teaching of the Spirit of Christ (go hunting for a deer). Yet this is what Jesus instructed.

Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because IT SEETH HIM NOT, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, and shall be in you.

Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED, NEITHER LET IT BE AFRAID.

Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

The dreams are also saying that casting out fear in perfecting the love of God in the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (lion) will protect from all manner of deception (fox turning to a dragonfly coming your way that was swatted by the lion).

Eph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Eph 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
