Dream: UPPER ROOM: Saturday, January 10, 2009, 7:30 a.m.

The Upper Room Dream

I dreamt early this morning the following:  I was in a place where I, along with a small group of believers was gathering to meet, when a man came and informed me we were being moved to a new “upper room” location.  I was given a glimpse of this new “upper room” [a high rise building with the walls transparent as glass like viewing a doll house] which was decorated in pink, white and clear crystal – very feminine.  We were to climb to this new upper room immediately, where a banquet had been prepared and made ready – waiting, upon our arrival.

On the way to the new upper room, the scene or journey changed for a few minutes as I encountered a man whose car – a black, vintage old car  was being sought after for repossession, but the man tossed the car [he seemed to be able to pick it up and toss it easily] into a deep, dark body of water, where I watched it sink and disappear into the depths with no trace, when he [the unknown man]  spoke and said: “They can have her now, if they can find her!”. 

The next scene switched to the old previous meeting place, and I saw Sharon Fields pleading to stay where she was – she did not want to move to the new “upper room” but was convinced it would be more beneficial for her to stay where she was, for her current circumstances [it seemed to involved a class or small group of young children].

Then the scene switched to me realizing – knowing, and having a vision or glimpse of our “new place of dwelling”, which was much grander and was more lavish, and higher then I realized.  I was instructed by “someone” above – a man, to “come up here” - he beckoned me to climb up!  I was cautiously considering the “ascension” on a very small, pink, frail, and very rickety ladder, a seemingly impossible task, but I “knew I had to get to the “upper room”. 

I started my ascent, a rung at a time, one hand grasping the next rung, pulling myself up – taking a step on the next rung, all the while, with each step, the ladder seemed like it would fall off and the top was getting more “shifty, more perilous and unstable”.  I noticed that each time I caught the next rung and took a step or slipped, someone was right under me – holding me, steadying me, guiding me, encouraging me and not speaking a word.  I looked down at my feet to see who was with me – Christina was covering me or watching my back, making sure I did not fall; as if it did not even occur to her she was on this same shaky ladder herself!

When I finally reached the top, within two or three rungs, the right side of the ladder came “unhooked” and I started to fall and loose my grip – right at the top!  I was determined to keep going, even though it was more unstable, I was determined to take the last step anyway, when Christina reached from behind me and grabbed the top of the ladder that had come unhooked, stabilized it [she seemed to set it back on its hook] again while someone at the top reached down and grasp my hand to help me over to the new “upper room”.

I woke up and was instructed to write it down – here it is!  

Side note:  Before I went to bed, Christina was on my mind and I was lifting her up to the Lord, and He revealed to me that she has some “reservations” about the “baptism of the Holy Spirit” and is afraid, and therefore, has not totally yielded herself to Him to fill up her vessel.  He said she was afraid of what she might say or do and that she needed to just yield herself to Him – dive in and let Him fill her, or baptize her with “fire” and trust Him to empower her, holding nothing back – Ask Him and He will give you the Holy Spirit, and new Power to fight the enemy!  Seek until you find or receive – you will just know when He fills you.

SCRIPTURES:

Revelation 21: 1 

[verses 1-27 too long to post, but please go check out]

1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5¶And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6¶And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

9¶And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14¶And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
