I had another "Learning Dream." In this one, I was commissioned from the Lord to share specific things with my family and others. I was in a house or a building. There was much I was to share. I was to teach. Told by the Lord to start small. Just to start with these 2 fundamental damming traditions/false doctrines. Until these 2 were addressed and the individual "pulls the weeds out", uproots them, they could NOT truly build on the Firm Foundation.
I said, "It can't be build upon a lie/false tradition."I repeated what Yeshua taught me and parroted what he said word for word to those I had stewardship over (this stewardship came directly from Yeshua). To say it was not well receive would be an understatement. Many became upset, hurt, but mostly angry with me and what I was telling them. I really couldn't blame them. Just a few years earlier these things were presented to me as well and I had to chose. I didn't realize how much unbelief, traditions I held on to, ect. when those things were revealed to me. It was a painful process for me to go through myself.
One of the weeds-
I said " It started with Woodruff and the infallibility of the Church/Brethren and that they can't lead you astray and I told them the exact opposite. They WILL lead you astray! I challenged them, "Find me in any of the Canon of Scriptures where God teaches in the Holy Scriptures where it's ok to put our trust in man or an institution, an earthly institution. Please show it to me. You're not going to find it. Instead you will find the exact opposite. ...how they (the people) are lead astray."
The other weed-
"Follow the Prophet"
Once I delivered the message I was to leave quickly. My Dad was very angry, I knew it would cause a wild fire. I said, "I love you and I will leave now. Fire storm, I'm sorry but I had to follow the Lord, He trumps all. I love you guys!(But I love him more is what I was basically saying to them). When he tells me to do something, I am going to do it! Even if it means it's going to cause people to be contentious about it...People when they are taught the truth that goes against their traditions- they tend to fall apart and shatter like glass."
As a result for following my Lord and fulfilling this assignment from him, I would be "kicked out" of my religious community. My membership would be severed, I was going to be shunned by those who I loved most. My good reputation was no longer "good" in the eyes of my loved ones and church community.
Dream shifted-I was in this room with Hispanic people and others. I related what I had taught the others (those of my faith)- they kind of looked at me and said yeah, made perfect sense to them-
To only trust in God.
But they had their own false traditions. The Trinity and other things.
Each denomination seemed to have their own false doctrine and traditions that were like weeds and needed to be pulled out as well. No one was immuned to this.
It is much easier to see it in others then in your own life/group.
It was an asset to have them (people from the room) in my neighborhood. There was a plumber, electrician and a gardener to keep the grounds beautiful. I didn't have to do it all myself. (I dread doing yard work). We were there to lend each other our talents/services. We truly loved our neighbors as ourselves. END of DREAM
It's been 2 months since I have last posted anything. During this last week I realized it was time to put another post on here. As I asked Yeshua what he wanted me to share this time- this dream that I recorded earlier popped into my mind. So just like the name of this blog I am following the Living Christ in these dreams and also in the waking hours. I still fall short. Many, many times I fall short. But that's ok-as long as I am focused on him and allow the Atonement to come in. I don't continue in sin. I repent or (turn my direction around) and put Him (Christ/Yeshua Messiah) first in my heart and first in my schedule again. He is mighty to save. He is full of grace and mercy.
He is the keeper of the gate. May we all seek him, follow him and him alone is my prayer, in his holy name-even Yeshua Messiah, Amen!
A beautiful post! Thank-you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brother Joseph!
DeleteSo amazing that weeds do really inhibit the firm nature of a foundation. Try to build anything on gnarly weeks and it simply is unstable. Beautiful post, thank you Sally!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen for your comment. You put into words what I have been learning
Delete"The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer. The God of my rock; in Him will I trust: He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior.” 2 Sam 22:2-3 We absolutely need to build on THE ROCK! Flesh is weak and we are not to put our trust in it.
DeleteHowever, there are those that God speaks through. There have been times that I have been used as a vessel to speak His word, but not all I say is His word. There are those that Christ has chosen to be His Prophets. Is every word they speak scripture? No. Do they speak His words? Yes, they are His mouth piece! Prophets, Seers, Revelators do exist! How do I know this? It is through the Holy Spirit. We are not to just “follow the prophet.” When one speaks we are to ask our Savior if they are His words. We must follow Christ. Jesus is our Savior, our Redeemer, and I believe with all my heart that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His church here on this earth. There is a difference between His church and His gospel, but His church leads me to His gospel. This I do believe!
We must pull out the weeds of our hearts, making sure our foundation is on the Rock. “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. “ Matt 13:25-28 We may see a weed somewhere, but we must be careful! It is not our job to do the weeding in His field, it is Jesus Christ’s.
Thank you for your heart felt comment my friend. I am referring to pulling the weeds out in our own life, taking out the false traditions and unbelief. I totally agree with you that we must be careful and not our job to weed his field. If I came across this way, I totally apologize. It was not my intent. I am week in the written words.
DeleteInteresting thing about wheat and tares. They look so similair while growing. When it's time to harvest, the wheat are full inside with "fruit"- the berries and it causes them to hang down/ bow down. While the tares are easy to spot. They are hallow inside-no fruit. They don't bend down/bow down but rather stick straight up.
I love the scriptures you have quoted. Thank you for your testimony and your love and concern. I count you a a dear friend.
Thank you for your reply. I hope I gave no offense. I did not know about the wheat bowing down. I love looking deeper into the Parables. He intently chose the items for his stories. Thank you too for your love and friendship.
ReplyDeleteNo offense taken. I love the Parables of Christ and you are correct that he chose those items on purpose to teach Spiritual truths.
DeleteHave a beautiful night my friend! May we both continue to feast on the words of Christ/Yeshua!
