Spiritual poverty in apostasy

D&V List No.1305
Date: Monday 11 August, 2008
Dream by Dawn Braun

I dreamed I was with some people and we were doing an investigation. I don't know why.
In any case, we were in the country at an old house that had been abandoned. Out in the
yard of the house, the grass had not been mowed in years and large boxes scattered about.
They were large crates, and wooden boxes.

We opened one box and in it were new clothes, belts, scarves and undergarments. We looked at all the items and I couldn't help but ask 'HOW COULD ANYONE DO THIS?' I kept asking this in my dream. 'HOW COULD ANYONE DO THIS?' It seemed the items at hand had been stolen by a woman from the abandoned house. We were all astounded by what we saw.

I then saw a belt which was in the trunk we opened and took it out because it matched
something I had. All the items in the boxes were all going to be thrown away.

I just couldn't understand how the circumstances happened, why they happened, and why it had to happen. END OF DREAM

** Circumstances from real life that led to this dream may have given a clue to what the old unkempt and abandoned house and the woman-thief meant. Whatever it is, it gendered bafflement, incomprehension, bewilderment and hopelessness. Here the dream may be saying that an objective investigation (we were doing an investigation) into many local churches would blatantly show that they are of the Old Church Order and spiritual poverty is entrenched.

Folks that have direct access to the Spirit of Truth and are taught and led by the same, walk in the light of God. They would only experience bafflement, bewilderment and incomprehension in such a condition of apostasy and accompanying spiritual poverty where the spirit of the thief reigns.

Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; AND KNOWEST NOT THAT THOU ART WRETCHED, AND MISERABLE, AND POOR, and blind, and naked:
Rev 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see.

1Jo 2:26 These things have I written unto you CONCERNING THEM THAT SEDUCE YOU.
1Jo 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1Jo 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

There is warning in the dream that all (including the dreamer) must take heed concerning the spirit of the thief. (I then saw a belt which was in the trunk we opened and took it out because it matched something I had.)

1Co 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
