2 COMPARATIVE dreams

 

Proverbs 27:23

King James Version

23 Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, 

and look well to thy herds.

Strangest things I dreamt this morning.

Thanks to the HOLY SPIRIT Who saw fit to wake me up a second time this morning, with two dreams yet!

That I'd wake up fresh, and record it for this post.

FIRST, a dream about feeding the family.

Mom, sister, nephew, and niece were there.

So were other people I don't remember, maybe a guest, or two.

The desire being to feed all of them.

I had bought food earlier, but didn't realize we needed more.

So I assigned tech-savvy niece to order online from her app.

She wasn't able to, for some reason.

Next, I assigned nephew to do so.

Neither could he.

They both had some excuse.

What to do?

I better go out and search for more food myself.

Turned out there were lots of festivals and feasts everywhere.

Restaurants/bars were packed.

I was thinking of getting a large pizza.

So I headed for this place and ordered one.

They looked at me strangely.

They could not fulfill my order.

I had gone to a place called "Peach Pie".

And wanted to order a pizza "pie".

My mistake.

SECOND dream showed me wanting to point out a few things to some community members.

I was looking for a place to write, a blackboard or something.

There was none to be found.

So I took out some tiny posters from the wall, and found some white chalk, and started writing on the blank wall.

I went to the first "issue" right away, which I had written on some light green, tiny towel.

Like why be paid 194.75 pesos each, when it could be rounded off to 195?

Or if they wanted, why not 200 flat?

Easier to give/count for everyone.

The women liked the 200.

Then a bunch of college colleagues came by holding gifts of 5-peso-coins, which was laid in various stacks, on some surface.

(The number "5" stands for "GRACE OR GOD's GOODNESS".)

I was pleased; we can add that to the community fund!

I was also going to assign each, who brought, to do the "counting".

Then a white-haired woman said something to me:

"I told you, you're a leader!"

That merely got me writing more stuff on the makeshift blackboard.

What I found from these two comparative dreams is this:

It was easier organizing a community meeting,

and getting things done,

than buying food for the family.

I was getting helped by community members.

In the dream, the family didn't participate as much.

Was it because work I did for the community was like "food for the soul"?

And that feeding an uninterested family was merely "food for the body"?

Seems to be.

This exercise is merely an example of what it means to work for the HOLY SPIRIT.

And to listen to His prompts.

He gives you ideas.

He inspires creativity.

He makes everything fun.

He puts sense into seemingly ordinary things.

All because GOD made me born again six years ago in 2019.

And have since been instructed by SPIRIT what to think, say, write, and do.

Even my dreams are His.

He taught me to follow the LORD JESUS' ways.

JESUS is the pattern for PEACE, PURITY, and PERFECTION.

You have no idea what fun is, unless you're guided by SPIRIT each moment.

You will often break into a smile, or laughter.

With secrets known only to both of you.

And mind you, His prompts are astounding, and super workable.

Because He uses what He gave you, right from the start.

He merely taps what He already created you for.

Go find out what that is for you.

I've found mine.

Lastly, here are some relevant, and instructive, verses SPIRIT gave me, pertaining to the two dreams.

These are excellent verses for community causes, too:

Psalm 37:23

King James Version

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: 

and he delighteth in his way.

Habakkuk 2:2

King James Version

2 And the Lord answered me, and said, 

Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, 

that he may run that readeth it.

Luke 14:28-30

King James Version

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, 

sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, 

whether he have sufficient to finish it?

29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, 

and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,

30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Acts 20:28-29

King James Version

28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock,

 over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, 

to feed the church of God, 

which he hath purchased with his own blood.

29 For I know this, 

that after my departing shall grievous wolves 

enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Interestingly, the number "2" kept showing up this morning:

-- SPIRIT woke me up TWICE.

-- He gave me TWO dreams.

-- Sometime along the way, I noticed the time, 2:22 a.m.

So I searched Ed F. Vallowe's "Keys to Scripture Numerics".

The number "2" stood for "UNION, DIVISION, WITNESSING":

"TWO came to stand for strengthening, for confirmation, 

for redoubled courage and energy."

"Always this number TWO meant augmented strength, 

redoubled energy, confirmed power."

TEST of leadership

 Lamentations 3:40

King James Version

40 Let us search and try our ways, 

and turn again to the Lord.

No wonder GOD wanted me to keep writing about Trump.

Which I did yesterday.

The 10-day-old leadership of president Trump was to be tested.

As well as the five-day-old leadership of Pete Hegseth, the new defense secretary.

Not to mention the day-old leadership of Sean Duffy, the new transportation secretary.

A commercial plane and military helicopter collided yesterday.

The airliner carried 64 on board; the chopper, three.

At least 28 bodies were recovered.

Many believe no one could have survived the impact and explosion in mid-air.

Neither the freezing, choppy waters of the Potomac.

CBN News reports the water temperature was at least 35 degrees F.

35 °F is equal to 1.67 °C

-- Inch Calculator

We commiserate with the families of all who may have lost their lives.

It's especially poignant, considering their plane was already preparing to land.

Something that happened a month ago, with the south Korean incident.

Should people be afraid to fly now?

No -- our lives are in GOD's hand alone.

Job 12:9-10

King James Version

9 Who knoweth not in all these 

that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, 

and the breath of all mankind.

A true tragedy in the early throes of the renewed Trump administration.

Reminding me of a tragedy that faced my own Philippine president, Benigno Aquino III, after he just sat in office on 30 June 2010.

Barely two months in office, he, too, got a "baptism of fire".

A disgruntled police officer took 25 hostages in a bus, 20 of whom were tourists.

"The Philippine and Hong Kong governments conducted separate investigations into the incident. Both inquiries concluded that the Philippine officials' poor handling of the situation caused the eight hostages' deaths."

-- Wikipedia

The first thing that came to mind?

President Aquino was being tested for his "leadership".

Now, it's happening with president Trump, and his two newly-confirmed cabinet members.

I mean, what are the chances that he, and his two men (relevant to the incident), would be tested so early on?

In any major leadership, crucial "tests" are given.

Somehow, I know how Trump would handle it.

With heart, firmness, and common sense.

Strangely, the American Airline incident directly involved the  Federal Aviation Administration, too.

Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, just mentioned the FAA in her FIRST press briefing two days ago.

That was her opening at the briefing, talking about the "drones" over New Jersey, silencing all qualms, and conspiracy theories.

As if by GOD's design, we also just mentioned the FAA in our article yesterday.

This will test Leavitt's leadership, too, for she will be busy addressing questions from hereon.

Even as the president already did today.

All these, I was made to "witness".

THANKS to the HOLY SPIRIT.

Who keeps leading me, inspiring me, and teaching me.

I really must keep writing about Trump.

It's the assignment GOD had given me.

Is GOD keeping us all "sharp"?

That, I am wont to believe.

Now, Hegseth, and Duffy's, will look into their departments.

Yesterday, president Trump blamed air traffic control.

Today, the DEI issue came up.

Expect Trump to be rid of that, completely.

Trump said he made reforms after Obama's presidency.

But Biden reformed his reforms.

And now, Trump reformed it again three days ago,

Knowing the president, he will make sure an incident such as this never happens again.

GOD-willing, it won't.

The air space in D.C. is very busy.

Trump, in his usual common sense, questioned why the plane, and helicopter, were on the same level, and direction.

Arthur Rosenberg, an aviation attorney and former pilot, felt the same way, too.

As the president gave his initial statement last night, I thought to myself he won't let this pass, without an uproar.

He cannot bear lives lost, because of ineptness.

After all, who could be the busiest "flier" than Trump?

He has his own TRUMP plane.

Now, he's got back his Air Force One presidential plane.

Not to mention his Marine One helicopter.

Of course, I expected his critics to forget that.

They sure did, as they "attacked" him at the presscon.

CHASTENING of California

 Proverbs 16:18

King James Version

18 Pride goeth before destruction, 

and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Was California proud?

Had her officials been belligerent?

Had they failed their people?

Have they owned up to their mistakes?

Was she under "judgment"?

Were the fires man-made?

And GOD-allowed?

Of course, only GOD knows.

Apart from whoever "planned" or "started" the fire.

If it was man-made, at all.

Or part of a "greater" picture we know nothing about.

But we do know what the Bible says about "chastening".

We feel California is being "chastened".

All that pride, and wokefulness, won't do.

All her love for things of the world, won't do.

Hollywood's love for sin, won't do.

GOD loves California.

Despite her many errors.

He wants her SAVED -- through JESUS.

The very JESUS she mocks, and sets aside.

Otherwise, He wouldn't have "chastened" her.

He wants her eyes "opened".

Would she open it, this time?

Would she turn to GOD, this time?

Would she finally lose that self-absorption?

Would her officials abandon their left, and woke, ideology?

Would she become born again, so SPIRIT would lead her, instead of "self"?

Would she repent of her sins?

As I ponder over California's raging fires, and failed leadership, SPIRIT led me to some very telling verses.

Know more what "chastening" means:

Hebrews 12:5

King James Version

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation 

which speaketh unto you as unto children, 

My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, 

nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

Hebrews 12:6

King James Version

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, 

and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

Hebrews 12:7

King James Version

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; 

for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Hebrews 12:8

King James Version

8 But if ye be without chastisement, 

whereof all are partakers, 

then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Hebrews 12:9

King James Version

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh 

which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: 

shall we not much rather be in subjection 

unto the Father of spirits, and live?

Hebrews 12:10

King James Version

10 For they verily for a few days 

chastened us after their own pleasure; 

but he for our profit, 

that we might be partakers of his holiness.

Hebrews 12:11

King James Version

11 Now no chastening for the present 

seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: 

nevertheless afterward it yieldeth 

the peaceable fruit of righteousness 

unto them which are exercised thereby.

Hebrews 12:12-13

King James Version

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, 

and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, 

lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; 

but let it rather be healed.

Hebrews 12:14

King James Version

14 Follow peace with all men, 

and holiness, without which 

no man shall see the Lord:

Hebrews 12:15

King James Version

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; 

lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, 

and thereby many be defiled;

JUST wondering

 Ephesians 6:10-12

King James Version

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, 

and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, 

that ye may be able to stand 

against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, 

but against principalities, against powers, 

against the rulers of the darkness of this world, 

against spiritual wickedness in high places.

I'm not into conspiracy theories.

I merely connect the dots, through the HOLY SPIRIT's prompt.

More often than not, as I write an article, other articles are spawned.

I merely follow SPIRIT's lead.

Such as when we ended yesterday's article with:

"America is on the road to recovery with the Trump team.

Nation-wise, militarily, economically, and spiritually.

CHRIST's enemy knows that.

Precisely why he placed obstacles before them.

And that's for another post."

-- "AMERICA's re-elected HOUSE speaker"

This article you're reading now is that "post".

The trigger actually came right at the start of the Mike Johnson video, when he prayed for the victims at Louisiana.

Wherein a military guy plowed through Bourbon Street.

Killing 15, and injuring dozens of people.

RIGHT at that moment, I began to wonder if it was connected to a recent cybertruck explosion:

Are these "coincidences"?

FIRST, the car-ramming in Louisiana, which happened to be Speaker Johnson's home state. It happened just days before he was to be voted in Congress.

SECOND, the blowing up of the Tesla cybertruck, in front of the Trump hotel. Tesla's Elon Musk, and president-elect Trump, are pretty close. Trump's inauguration draws close.

THIRD, both perpetrators are military men; both American citizens. What pushed them over the edge?

FOURTH, both came from Fort Bragg.

FIFTH, both didn't mind perishing (the first perished through police gunfire; the second was self-inflicted).

SIXTH, both seemed to have marriage problems.

Are these two random events, or are these connected?

Were they meant to warn the TRUMP team?

Is there a larger picture here?

What made these men "fall off"?

We are not into conjecture either.

We wait for the investigator's findings.

We shall know more as the days evolve.

We add videos below as they show up each day.

But we do know this -- Satan continues to menace.

Either to cause panic, fear, confusion, deception, hatred, anger, death, and destruction.

Those are his "fingerprints".

BEWARE his ways, and intentions:

1 Peter 5:8-9 

King James Version

8 Be sober, be vigilant; 

because your adversary the devil, 

as a roaring lion, walketh about, 

seeking whom he may devour:

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, 

knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished 

in your brethren that are in the world.

And to the public, know this:

Only through JESUS 

can we be safe, and saved.

The LORD assures believers:

Matthew 10:28

King James Version

28 And fear not them which kill the body, 

but are not able to kill the soul: 

but rather fear him which is able to destroy 

both soul and body in hell.

Luke 21:18

King James Version

18 But there shall not 

an hair of your head perish.

Revelation 1:18

King James Version

18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; 

and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; 

and have the keys of hell and of death.
