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."
