ADDRESSING FAMINE FOR THE WORD OF GOD GIVEN IN DUE SEASON BY THE QUICKENING AND ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH
In this mornings' dream, I was aware of some shortage of sustenance for me and my family - mostly for my family members. I don't think there was a dire famine in the land, but perceived that there was some kind of general shortage, and that it had hit my family particularly hard. I wanted to go out to see what I could find, or perhaps buy, with what little I had.
· The shortage of sustenance here is for the direct and quickened word of God for this end time season from the Spirit of Truth.
Amos 8:11
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine
in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of
hearing the words of the LORD:
Amos 8:12
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the
east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and
shall not find it.
Amos 8:13
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
Ps 37
16 A little that a righteous man hath [is] better than the riches of many
wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the
righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be
for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they
shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD [shall be] as the
fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
THE WORD OF THE LORD GIVEN TO CHRISTENDOM IN GENERAL IS LIKENED UNTO BIRDS’ EGGS OF THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST WHICH CAN BE SQUANDERED THROUGH CORRUPTION AND DESTROYED
At first, I was with my wife and my kids at the seashore, or perhaps by a large lake. It was a pleasant place with trees around (not just a beach), and we were on some sort of a high dock. I looked down at the waters' edge and felt drawn to explore there. Next thing, I was wandering along the bank, with the water lapping gently next to me. Suddenly I realized that there were a number of geese or large ducks about, and that I was in a nesting area. I looked around and saw that there were indeed nests and there were many large eggs in the nests. I picked one up to look at it; I knew that it would be good and wholesome to eat, and while not a great feast, there would be enough to sustain my family.
It then occurred to me that we were in some kind of park or public area. Then I had the thought that while I could take these eggs, many other people were in similar trouble, and would probably come here for sustenance, too. So I put the egg down so that others could have it. It then further occurred to me that more than a few people would come and that some of them would be greedy, reckless or just ignorant, and they would probably kill the birds and eat them. Then the continual supply of eggs would be destroyed. Thus, the resource, while good for now, would not be a viable long-term source of sustenance for my family after all. This reinforced the idea that I needed to look elsewhere to feed my family.
Ezek 34:17
And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge
between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
Ezek 34:18
Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture,
but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures?
and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue
with your feet?
Ezek 34:19
And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your
feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
THE QUICKENED WORD OF GOD SOLD AT THE OUTER SECTION/ROOM OF THE CHURCH WITHIN CHRISTENDOM (STORE) IS CORRUPTED THROUGH THE LOVE OF MONEY AND THROUGH PREOCCUPATION WITH MAKING MERCHANDISE OF THE WORD OF THE LORD
Next thing, I found myself in some sort of a store selling a combination of food and novelties and electronic and mechanical gadgets. I inquired about just basic foodstuffs, and found that it was way too expensive. Then I noticed a case like an open refrigerated display and looked in it. There I saw packaged bundled of food. These were more reasonably priced, but were bundled up with gizmos and novelty items. I thought that most of the price went toward the packaging and the useless things, and I felt offended at the useless waste.
THE QUICKENED WORD OF THE LORD FREELY AND ABUNDANTLY MADE AVAILABLE FROM THE INNER FOUNDATION MINISTRIES (IN THE FLOOR) OF THE CHURCH (APOSTLES AND PROPHETS) IS BY THE DIRECT TEACHING AND LEADING OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD FOR ALL THE SAINTS
At this point, I looked a bit beyond the display, and noticed that there was another, deeper (lower) level to the building. I could see it just beyond and over the display case. There was an opening in the floor just beyond the case. I could see that below, there was a large space set with a number of tables covered with food. It struck me as being almost like a buffet style restaurant. There was a huge amount of food there, all wonderfully prepared and ready to serve. Suddenly, a woman appeared next to me and asked if I would like to go there. 'Yes', I said.
Next thing I knew I was down there with her among the tables of food. She waved her arm around the room, and invited me to explore and take whatever I needed. She didn't discuss cost at all, and I somehow 'knew' that it was either free or of such low cost as to be trivial, even for my meager means. I was very happy to have found/been led to such a place where I could feed my family, and I was feeling very appreciative, blessed and humble because this bounty was so much greater than I could ever have earned or produced by my own labors.
PRESENTLY THERE ARE FEW WHO ARE PARTAKING OF THE FEAST OF GOD’S DIRECT TEACHING AND GUIDANCE AT THE HAND OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, BUT THE TIME OF GOD’S GRACE AND ENLIGHTENMENT IS NOW AT HAND IN WHICH MANY SHALL COME TO BE PARTAKERS OF THIS END TIME TABLE OF THE LORD
I then looked around and noticed that there were only a few people around. I then realized that the woman that had escorted me there was essentially the manager of the facility. The place looked like it could have fed 1000 people or more, and there were maybe five guests there. I commented on the disproportionate number of patrons compared to the huge feast available. She kind of shrugged her shoulders and smiled, and said something to the effect that they, the place, were always ready, and that soon they expected a large crowd to attend.
Luke 14:16
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade
many:
Luke 14:17
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden,
Come; for all things are now ready.
Luke 14:18
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said
unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and
see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Luke 14:19
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove
them: I pray thee have me excused.
Luke 14:20
And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Luke 14:21
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the
master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly
into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor,
and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
Luke 14:22
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and
yet there is room.
Luke 14:23
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and
hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Luke 14:24
For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall
taste of my supper.
Luke 14:25
And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said
unto them,
Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife,
and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also,
he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be
my disciple.
THE REQUIREMENT OF GOD’S END TIME APOSTLES TO HAVE FORSAKEN ALL FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST AT SOME TIME IN THEIR LIVES SO THAT THIS THE ATTITUDE WILL DWELL CONTINUALLY IN THEIR HEARTS.
She then continued, and said that they had an 'opening' for a host to help guide and seat people for the feast. She asked if I was interested in the job. At this point, I felt simultaneously ecstatic and that I was something like unworthy of the job. I simultaneously realized that in fact, I was unemployed and homeless, and that this was something that I needed desperately. Then in a sort of happy shock, I said, 'sure, if you'll have me'. Then something to the effect that while I was sure I could do the work, I was unsure that I had the appropriate wardrobe.
Luke 14:33
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he
hath, he cannot be my disciple.
1Cor 4:11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless.
Luke17:10
So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, `We
are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.’
Up until this point, I had been completely unaware of my attire. I looked down and was surprised to see that I was wearing a business suit from the waist up (shirt, tie, dark jacket), but that from the waist down I was basically in exercise clothes (gym shorts and sneakers). She reached out and carefully pinched up a bit of the material of the jacket and felt it, and then pulled it out some to check the fit of the jacket. It was pretty baggy and loose fitting. I was embarrassed. She kind of smiled and looked me over again, stepping back, then said that it 'would do'. I was really happy at that response, though a little insecure, but at the same time knowing that she knew her business, and if she said it would be OK, then indeed it would.
Then she said something like 'incidentally, one of the perks of the job is that you, too can eat your fill, and you can take all the leftovers you can carry home to your family.' I don't know how she did it, but she seemed to cause me to have a little vision within the dream. I saw the room from above filled with people, all having a great feast. After a while they had all had their fill, and I was helping to clean up. There were still many tables brimming with food after the feast for the day was done (I had the impression this was a daily event, or even multiple times per day), and I saw myself scooping up great armloads of this fare to take home, and not even making a dent in the leftovers.
John 6:13
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with
the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and
above unto them that had eaten.
THE WORD OF THE LORD WITHIN CHRISTENDOM IN GENERAL IS SUPERFICIAL AND NOT NUTRITIOUS FAST FOOD BUT NOW THE CALLING IS GOING OUT FOR ALL CHRISTIANS TO COME AND EAT OF THAT WHICH IS FREEELY AND ABUNDANTLY PROVIDED BY THE CREATOR GOD.
Then I expressed my gratitude, and then thought of going to my family to deliver the good news. The next thing I knew, I was back at the lakeshore area and met my wife. I stepped up to her with a big grin and was about to speak when I noticed that she, too, was smiling from ear to ear and had something to tell me. Then I noticed that she had this huge brown paper bag under her arm (opening towards me like a cornucopia) and it was stuffed with, of all things, tamales. (this is a great-tasting, but rather folksy prosaic food from the Texas/Mexico area).
Before we could say a word (which seemed to be needless), I then got a mode shift to getting some strong impressions or thoughts. The thought, or 'knowingness' was that though I was presently homeless, that I needed to, and soon would, obtain some kind of a 'home'. However, the picture impression that I got was not of a typical house, but almost like an RV - a home that can be moved anywhere, or perhaps a house in an unusual environment. Then the dream ended. Hmmm.
· In line with the dream I would say that this home is a spiritual one where the home may also speak of the family ministry (apostle or prophet) which can be moved from place to place.

CAROLYN, YOU REPRESENT GOD’S APOSTLES (BANQUET MANAGERS) WHOM GOD IS RAISING UP AT THIS TIME WHOSE HEARTS ARE GENUINE TOWARDS GOD AND CARE LOVINGLY FOR HIS SHEEP. They are not there to make merchandise of God’s people but like their Master, they will even lay down their lives for the sheep!

Blessings Daystar Team,
333 was such a blessing, as they all are God is moving in His people more and more. He is so good I am forwarding a short dream I had on Aug. 8th for your judgment and discernment. It has come back numerous times and I like to wait on the Father and be sure they are relevant. Bless you for all your hard work and time you give to His Children.
I dreamt I was at a banquet. A full room of tables ( they were crammed together and there were many people). The people were talking and it was noisy.
· Carolyn, the banquet in this dream agrees with God’s promise in dreams, visions and prophecy for great enlightenment from the Scripture and from heavenly places of the things of God from August onwards.
There was a banquet manager? instructing a couple of waiters. They were running all over throwing plates of food on the tables. They were very frustrated and finally left, overwhelmed. The plates had very little food on them and it was slopped on it.
· The focus of this dream is not on the people who are at the banquet but on the people who are serving out the banquet. Presumably, these are church leaders and ministers of churches who feed God’s sheep. Here we are being shown those whose hearts are not in serving God’s people so that the things of God can only be presented inadequately in a sloppy and non meaningful fashion. These folks will ultimately abandon their responsibility to feed God’s people their food in due season.
Jn 10:13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
I saw all of this happening and I was very disturbed and got up. I went to the manager and said, This is awful and I would help do it properly. He told me I wasn't trained to do this. I then told him I had been in banquet managing, hosting, etc. He said well, take charge then. So I did. I began to carve a huge slab of turkey breast ( that's what it looked like, anyway). I was cutting on the cross grain and it was crumbling and this surprised me, because I knew better than to cut it this way. I started giving servers plates and instructions, the few who were there to help. It was a big job, but we were trying to do it. The whole time the people talked and would eat the food, oblivious to what we were doing ( or at least trying to do). I could see no walls to this room, it was endless. End.
· Carolyn, you represent God’s apostles (banquet managers) whom God is raising up at this time whose hearts are genuine towards God and care lovingly for His sheep. They are not there to make merchandise of God’s people but like their Master, they will even lay down their lives for the sheep! The dream is revealing to us that there are few wise and faithful stewards (apostles) who will work and move with what the Spirit is saying and doing in accordance with the will and purpose of God in 1999.
Luke 12
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his
lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat
in due season?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
44 Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he
hath.

Circumstances;
The Lord has had a few of us up night after night praying , but He has given
us no indication for who or what.
Dream:
I am in a room, the are orientals in the room with me.
Hands, present me with two framed white tiles, then again I am presented with
two framed green tiles, and another time with two framed red tiles.
They are just plain tiles, like hot plates.
I know white stands for purity, green for hope and red for blood or danger.
If this is not important please disregard. Thanks for you time
Your sister in Christ, Roberta
COMMENT BY PAULA
We would be expecting to be receiving from the Lord about His end time apostles and prophets at this time and so your two framed tiles could be referring to them. Perhaps your dream is revealing the three basic things that the apostles and prophets are going to be doing in succession.
As you pointed out, white speaks of purity or righteousness and this will be the first thing that God will bring the Church to in the ministries of the apostles and prophets. Next will be the abundant life and hope in Christ Jesus that the Church will possesses under their ministry. After this the Church will then be ready for the mighty salvation harvest (red for blood of Jesus for salvation) of the earth! I wonder whether the orientals in your dream refer particularly to the salvation of the people of China. Glory to God! Thank you for sharing this dream for the encouragement of the folks!
