Overcoming the Flesh to be in the Bride

Winnie Osegueda - 3/27/22 (David’s notes in red)

 

I dreamt that I was in my uncle's house whose name is Christian. (Christian means follower of Christ. His house represents the “house of discipleship.) He is a doctor in real life. (Christian represents the Lord who is our healer.) I was sitting in a room building some plastic toy sets and then putting them on display in different areas of the room, which seemed to be a hobby for me in this dream. (This represents being distracted with the vanities of this world.) (As we will see, this represents spiritual immaturity. Play-acting is a large part of what goes on in apostate Christianity.) There were different types of toys including toy dinosaurs. (Many don’t know that they are playing with the Dragon).

My uncle Chris entered the room and I instantly felt ashamed about the toys and told him that I was not playing with them, but just putting them together to put them on display, although I knew it was a bad excuse and that this was not something I should be doing. (We can’t make excuses for our poor choices. We just have to repent and turn away from them.) I also felt ashamed because I also was aware that I was overweight (Representing too much flesh). This room I was in seemed to be a room for the "immature," as I could hear two people arguing in the background, although I do not recall who they were. (We must leave our immaturity behind to grow in Christ. 1Co. 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things.)

I then heard some dogs barking outside of the front door. One of the dogs was a white pitbull with brown spots and also a black dog as well. I began to pet the black dog, as he seemed to be pretty docile, but then my uncle Chris's wife named Olivia (meaning olive tree) said to me, “The dog just wants to come in." She had seen this dog before and was aware of his intentions and so she was warning me. (If we indulge and encourage our flesh represented by the black dog, it will grow stronger and will have a foothold in our lives and take over our house.)

Then, I saw a white cat with black spots in a bush. (Representing rebellion and self-will). I went over to it because it seemed to be crying out, so I felt sorry for it and thought I should feed it (We can’t feel sorry for our flesh or feed it.) Then Anna (Meaning “Grace") came up to me and told me not to feed the cat, but to throw it in the water. A large body of water then appeared next to the bush on the right. The water was moving like an ocean the way it does at a beach and I threw it into the water. (We must get rid of self-will and any other sin by drowning the flesh nature with the water of the Word. [as in a Baptism unto death.])

The scene changed and I was back in the house. (When we get rid of self will and rebellion then we are able to come back into the “house of discipleship.) There was something important being shown on the TV and a sister was intently watching. I stood there and watched with her. Although I do not remember every scene that was playing, what we saw was the Word of God coming to pass, and we could also see the judgement that was happening around the world. I remember, towards the end, seeing smoke and fire, as well as a large mountain on fire. (When the Man-child returns, He will bring judgement to the kingdoms or “mountains” of the world. 2Pe. 3:5-7 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and amidst water, by the word of God; 6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.)

This "movie" touched the sister deeply, and she put her arm around me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. She began to weep and apologize for any unforgiveness that she had towards me. I was also emotional and I told her that I forgave her too. This sister had a very humble spirit and I saw a supernatural change the Lord had done in her right before my eyes and I was amazed. She was beautiful. I then felt my uncle Chris lovingly put his hand behind us as we embraced like he was praying for us. (Jesus brings reconciliation to His disciples in His Body.)

The sister then laid down on a bed (Representing entering into the rest)(Repentance and forgiveness allows us to have rest from the tormentors. Because of unforgiveness it says in Mat. 18:34-35 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due. 35 So shall also my heavenly Father do unto you, if ye forgive not every one his brother from your hearts.) Suddenly, I looked down at my hand and my wedding ring appeared back on my finger. (In real life, a while back, I had lost my wedding ring and I was very sad about it.)

It was supernatural how the ring just appeared back on my finger. I walked over to the sister and said, “Is this real?!" She touched my ring and said "Yes, it's real.” (Repentance, forgiving others, and humbling ourselves allows us to be part of the Bride). I was overjoyed and this felt so real, I thought I had my ring again when I woke up.

I asked Chuc to get me a verse by faith at random and he received: Pro 28:26 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool; But whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

I received by faith at random: Eph. 6:14-18 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

 

 

“Rock Man” Helps Us to Overcome Our Flesh

Ben Slojewski - 11/20/22 (David’s notes in red)

Before I went to sleep that night I repented to the Lord to take me away from worldly desires and to give me encouragement to get me through trials and temptations because some old spirits were trying to get another “rise" out of me.

When I fell asleep I was looking in the perspective of a 3rd person overview, but I knew that the main characters, throughout this dream, represented me in some way.

There was a big city (Representing Babylon) and I knew that a disaster was gonna come at any moment and there was a precious ring that I had in my possession. (God is bringing judgment upon Babylon and it’s inhabitants that can’t escape the lusts of their flesh. This Ring represents our discipleship and marriage to the Lord which gives us power.)

In the far outskirts of the city I knew that there was a creature that wanted this ring. This creature looked identical to a character named Gollum from Lord of the Rings. (This creature represents our flesh nature that wants to usurp the power the Lord has given us and use our lives for it’s own lustful and evil purposes.)

In The Lord of the Rings it is stated that Gollum was originally a hobbit named Sméagol who became corrupted by a Ring of Power. Gollum referred to the Ring as "my precious" or "precious", and it extended his life far beyond natural limits, but ownership of the Ring came with curses on the individual in possession of it. Centuries of the Ring's influence twisted Gollum's body and mind and he "loved and hated [the Ring], as much as he loved and hated himself.” (In the wrong hands power can be abused and be very destructive. Our flesh has many lusts that eventually destroy us if they are not repented of.)

Throughout the story, Gollum was torn between his lust for the Ring and his desire to be free of it. (Gal. 5:17  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would.)  In the story, Bilbo Baggins found the Ring and took it for his own, and Gollum afterwards pursued it for the rest of his life. Gollum finally seized the Ring from Frodo Baggins at the "Cracks of Doom" in Mount Doom in Mordor.

Mount Doom was where the Ring had originally been forged and was the only place that it could be destroyed. When Gollum seized the ring, he fell into the fires of the volcano, where both he and the Ring were destroyed. (1Co. 5:3-7 For I verily, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already as though I were present judged him that hath so wrought this thing, 4 in the name of our Lord Jesus, ye being gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5 to deliver such a one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened.)

Back to Ben: "Gollum" was excited to get the ring and knew exactly where it was. All he was waiting for was the right timing. The whole premise of this “game” I was caught up in, was to keep the ring away from Gollum. It seemed easy enough but I was in the form of a dog and wasn't able to fight. (The dogs return to their vomit, i.e. keep returning to their sins that they once rejected and repented of. 2Pe. 2:20-22  For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first. 21 For it were better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 It has happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog turning to his own vomit again, and the sow that had washed to wallowing in the mire.)  

So I went running down the highway to get out of the city. (We must get on the Highway of Holiness to escape our flesh and Babylon. Isa. 35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but is shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err therein.)

Gollum was gaining fast on me in my "dog form" and was gonna catch me in no time. (When we return to our sins, our flesh gets stronger and stronger and we are in danger of being consumed by them once again.) In an instant I was picked up in a helicopter and flew so fast, which helped me put distance between Gollum and me. (This represents the grace of the Holy Spirit who helps us to escape our flesh nature and abide with Christ in Heavenly places.) I also noticed that the highway was getting narrower and narrower the further I went down it. (Mat. 7:14  For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.)

All of a sudden, a flat stone wall was in front of me and the helicopter crashed into it. This allowed Gollum to gain some ground and catch up to me. (The enemy likes to put up road blocks and barriers to bring us back down to the earthly things and separate us from Christ.)

Gollum was very close but I seemed to have turned into some sort of "scarecrow form" and I was able to have a much easier time evading Gollum in this form. (Scarecrows help to scare away the beasts and the unclean birds who want to steal our seed that the Sower, Jesus, put into our hearts and eat up our spiritual fruit of Christ in us. Mat. 13:3-4,19 …Behold, the sower went forth to sow; 4 and as he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them... 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one , and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart.)

We were no longer on a highway but in a place that had a stone maze and I was still evading Gollum quite easily. He got close a couple of times but I was able to evade or break free from capture. (This represents the confusion, doubt and unbelief that the enemy traps us in our minds. We must overcome the mind of the flesh by casting it down. 2Co 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;)

All of a sudden a great tornado lifted all the walls and roof in this maze and there was nowhere else to evade. I changed forms again to a real man in white clothing. We were floating in the sky in the tornado on the old, stone, maze floor. (The tornado is the power of God and His Word, which is Christ our foundation, that clears out the confusion and lifts us up into the heavenlies to fight in the righteousness of Christ.)

There was nowhere to run from Gollum at this point and I had to fight him. (We can’t keep running from ourselves and our old nature if we want to escape the curse.) I wasn't scared and I was sort of itching for the fight at this point and confident. I knew I could fight in this new form that I was given. (The form of this "real man dressed in white" represents the exchange that the Lord made for us on the cross, by His power, to defeat our sin nature.)

It was a very close fight and we were both fighting with various “abilities” [or powers]. It seemed like the longer we were fighting the more angry Gollum got (he didn't want this to be a long fight). This made him become bigger. This didn't scare me because I was prepared for a long fight and I knew, in the end, I was going to win. (The flesh will try to fool us that it is too big for us to conquer, but when we remain in heavenly places in Christ, and in His Word, we are assured to win the battle against our old flesh nature, because we have the precious promises of God.)

We kept fighting and damaging each other and he kept getting bigger and more resilient to my attacks when, out of nowhere, a huge Rock Man came to my side to fight Gollum. (“Rock Man is Jesus who is our Rock. 1Co 10:4 ...they drank of a spiritual rock that followed them: and the rock was Christ.) "Rock Man" had a spear and had amazing abilities that I couldn't do yet, but I wanted to learn. (Luk 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.)

I didn't even need to help "Rock Man" because he was much stronger then Gollum. (Christ in us is much stronger than our flesh and our enemies when we rest in the promises in His Word and His power.) I left the fight to take refuge in the small shelter that was left from the tornado and regain some strength back. (Psa 91:1-9 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. 9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! …)

I noticed, at this point, the Ring was on my left ring finger and really noticed why Gollum wanted it so badly. It was really beautiful with all the different colors and the glimmering light that came from it. (The overcomers are the “Bride of Christ”! Rev. 3:21 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne.  And  Hos. 2:19-20 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in justice, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. 20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness; and thou shalt know Jehovah.)

 "Rock man" came into the shelter and He was not even winded from the fight. (Rev. 21:6 Then He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. …)  We didn't speak; we both knew that He was there to protect me but, I was to give the killing blow. (Jesus is our protector, power and strength but it is our responsibility to kill our old flesh nature once and for all. 2Co 7:1  Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.)

Gollum saw my ring from the outside of the shelter and was totally infatuated by it. Oddly enough he didn't come into the shelter because he wasn't allowed. He was more interested in looking at the ring on my finger than fighting at this point. He became docile and I knew I was able to somewhat control him at this point. The dream ended with "Mr. Rock" and I on one side of a barricade and Gollum on the other. (The sacrifice of Jesus separates us from our sinful nature and helps us to conquer it.)

 

 

Keep Your Eye on the Goal

Gabe Watson - 11/18/22 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamed there were these guys playing a basketball game. (This represents the “game” of life.)  It seemed like they were playing three on three. (Representing the saints of God who are playing on the "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit team.") It was game point and I came in to play. (Representing the final point in the game that determines the winner.) My teammate had the basketball at the top of the three-point line and was trying to throw it to me on the perimeter, but my defender (representing our opponent or our adversary the devil) was facing me and I could not get the ball. (Satan is the accuser of the brethren. He is always facing off with us trying to cause us to lose the game any way he can.)

Then I went deep into the paint, which is close to the basket, and posted up my man, sealing him with my back and arms. My defender was behind me and I felt like a professional basketball player (like Shaquille O'Neal) posting this guy up. My teammate threw me the ball as I posted my defender up. (We must block satan from interfering with us and our teammates scoring to win the game.)

I then went to score the basketball with so much strength and power. (When we effectively defend ourselves and our brethren against the attacks of the enemy opponent, we have strength and power from God to win.) As I went up to score the basketball, I felt no agitation from my defender, it was almost as if he was not there. (Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.) I went up into the air (representing abiding in heavenly places in Christ.) and went above the rim and scored the game-winning point unimpeded by my defender and we won the game. End. (Satan is no match for us when we team up with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and we agree with his Word and believe on His promises. We will always score the winning point.)

 

 

 Man-child Steals His Bride from the "god of This World”

Gabe Watson - 11/18/22 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamed that my wife was getting married to another guy, but in the dream she wasn't my wife (yet). (Gabe’s wife represents the corporate Bride body who starts out being betrothed to satan, the god of this world, through the bondage of the sin nature and generational curses. But God foreordained them to be the first fruits unto the Man-child reformer ministries.) There seemed to be a lot of confusion and a lot of people were moving around and trying to get ready for their wedding. (There are a lot of apostate “Christians" who are going to marry the antichrist god of this world. He is a false Jesus. 2Co. 4:4 ...the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them. And 1Co. 14:33 ...God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints.)

So I started walking with her on a path, completely unaffected by what was going on around me. She was not interested in marrying me at all and was focused on her other wedding, however, I knew that she liked me but it just seemed like she wasn't focused on her feelings for me. (The Man-child, Jesus, will gently and patiently lead His Bride down the narrow Way. He works with us in our lives until our focus is turned to Him and away from the god of this world.)

As we were walking on the path she did not want to walk anymore. This confused me a lot because I knew that she could keep walking on the path, but she just didn't want to. (Many times, along our journey with the Lord, we want to quit and give up; thinking it is too hard to keep going because of pain or discouragement or condemnation. But the Lord knows the end from the beginning and He knows we will make it. We must not lose faith. Php. 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do , forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 14 I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.)

So I picked her up into my arms and cradled her like a baby and carried her down the path. (When we feel we can’t go any further, we don’t have to rely on our own strength. The Lord will carry us. 2Co. 12:9  And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.)

I knew that I loved her, but I could not get her attention to realize it because she was focused on the other marriage. It did not bother me at all, that she wasn't loving me or focused on me, I was just focused on my goal and nothing could hinder my progress with her and my laser focus. (Rom. 8:35-39  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?…37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.)

Then, we were at our wedding, about to get married. It seemed like she still didn't understand what was happening. (Because it is a mystery according to Eph. 5:25-32 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it; 26 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, 27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his own wife loveth himself:

29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as Christ also the church; 30 because we are members of his body. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church.) There was a pastor there marrying us and I seemed to be the only one that knew what was going on. (The Man-child, Jesus, always knows what’s going on because He knows those who belong to Him. Joh. 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.)

There was one exception though. There was one other guy who knew what was going on and he did not like this at all. I knew that he was my enemy and did not want us to get married. (Satan does all that he can to try to sabotage or hinder the Man-child and Bride.) There was just nothing he could do to stop the wedding and he knew it.  As I watched him he was so shocked and bewildered that I was marrying her. ...He knew that it was totally out of his hands to stop this wedding and that we were getting married right before his eyes. (The devil knows there is nothing he can do and that his time is short. Rev. 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.)

I didn't know where her proposed husband was, it even could have been this guy, but it did not matter.  No one else mattered, my desire was only for her. I was focused on my wedding and nothing could hinder that or impede me from my goal. (Song 7:10  I am my beloved's; And his desire is toward me.)

The scene changed and we were listening to her pastor who was giving a very short message. I thought to myself he's preaching pretty good. He finished up with a statement to this effect, that people are focusing on the wrong things in themselves and that we need to be focused on the glory of God in us. (We manifest the nature of Christ 30,60 and 100 fold by our faith in the promises of His Word.) As he said this, I felt strength and renewal, as I focused on the glory of God in me and it gave me peace. As I focused on these words inside myself, I had a deeper revelation of what he said. (Isa.26:3  Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.) Then I woke up.
