plaza, they have these small indoor sales signs all
over the place - like in the picture.
Either showing you a 'sale' or enticing you to a further discount, if you would only buy now!
Well, I had a sign-dream 2 nights ago.
After the dream I asked the LORD for the interpretation so here it is dream and all!
Sign Dream - Dream a Sign?
So, I am in this large retail store, and the store is owned by a friend. In my dream, it seems I am there simply to 'help out' for the day.
The store was busy, that day and there was nothing unusual about my dream at this point. I was simply standing in a retail store, on a busy day.
Then I saw a young tall/fairly thin blond man, dressed well with a long beige overcoat seem like he had 'stuffed' something in his pocket! The overcoat, of course giving you ample space to hide something.
I thought, "is he trying to steal something"?
The man had a long thin face, clean shaven and protruding chin. He didn't look sinister or the type to take anything, but here I was staring at what looked like him removing something from the store shelf!
Since I seemed to be working in the store, assisting my friend on this busy day, I made a move toward the guy who was taller than I and younger than I.
"Excuse me" I asked as I approached him about 10 feet away.
Then I noticed he had something large partially hidden under his trench coat.
He started to run!
I chased him, and before he could get away, he stumbled and I caught up with him, mall security was a few steps away. He had no where to run!
I asked him to admit what he did, and he did.
I asked him to hand back what he took, and he did.
But this is where it got interesting, as he opened his trench coat, he handed me a broken store display sign, sort of like pictured above. You know the clear acrylic signs that they can change to whatever sale they are promoting at the time, the signs that stand up on merchandise.
This is what he stole!
He apologized, and gave me the broken store display sign.
I awoke....
Note this scripture:
But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
1 Corinthians 6:17
In my spirit (which by the way is joined to the LORD), I asked the LORD in my usual soft way I asked "Dad, what did that mean"?
Note: as you grow in the LORD, you often move from calling HIM "GOD", to perhaps "FATHER", then for me it went to "PAPA" and finally "DAD"/"DADDY". The Bible makes it clear that when JESUS referred to the "FATHER" all the time, the term is much closer to "DADDY" rather than the formal "FATHER".
Anyway, in my spirit (which is joined to the LORD/DADDY) I heard this:
The store represented GOD'S storehouse - HIS bounty! Which is our inheritance.
The guy tall blond guy, represented the average christian.
The sign, represented signs/ miracles. We seem to be chasing the signs instead of chasing the goods, which the signs point to.
The chief 'goods' we are after, is the LORD JESUS HIMSELF!
HE is our reward.
All good things flow from HIS hand to us, who believe!
The LORD said "I AM your exceeding great reward" Genesis 15:1
Why was the sign broken?
We are so desperate for signs and miracles, that we will take anything - even broken ones.
Instead of resting at JESUS feet, and letting HIS LOVE flow through us. Spending time in prayer/meditation on JESUS - just taking HIM alone.
Then like anything we break, we try to cover it up, and not bring it into light to be healed.
We don't admit our shortcomings, as we live in pride and darkness, not bringing things to light.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7
Paul said that he would boast about his shortcomings so
that GOD'S GRACE would be revealed.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.
2 Corinthians 11:30
Are we hiding our faults, shortcomings - acting as 'cool' Christians.
Chasing miracles and signs, going from one 'anointed church service' to another, when we have the GOD our DADDY, right inside us!
