The first picture was of a gumball machine that was square that symbolized us as a church. I felt the Holy Spirit say that he wanted to change us to make us round.
A friend has told me that a square gumball machine won’t work, because the gumballs will get jammed instead of flowing out smoothly. A round gumball machine however naturally funnels its contents out very smoothly. Later, while praying and asking the Lord what the change was that was needed to allow things to flow smoothly for us I felt God say that it was the development of the 5 fold ministry as is listed in Ephesians. However, I felt very strongly that God wanted to be very specific in that before the 5 fold ministry can be built, the foundation must first be laid. Ephesians 2:20 states that God’s house is…built on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophet’s, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. I feel God wants to say to us that it is after the laying of the foundation of Apostles and Prophets, that the foundation is big enough and strong enough to support what God wants to release through the 5 fold ministry which builds up …the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way (Eph 1:23).
Next I had a dream. In this dream it was dark outside, but the night was almost over and the day was almost here. I took a bottle of wine to pour myself a glass, but because the bottle was almost empty only a small amount of wine came out. Next I knew that my Mom was going to be there soon and we were going to be spending some time together.
I felt through the dream that God was saying that a new day is dawning for our church and that God desires to give us new structures (bottles) that will contain new moves of the Spirit (wine). I feel the mother symbolizes the vision that gave us birth and that God says that we can have new structures and new moves of the Spirit, yet still remain true to the vision that birthed us and has nurtured our growth.
Then I had a picture of a lady whose long hair was becoming shaggy. The Lord said he wanted to encourage us that a haircut helps to remove dead cells.
In general I think that we would feel averse to any cell group ending, but I felt that God’s heart was that it makes his bride, the church so much more beautiful and glorious when we take regular stock of our cells and in a sense get a haircut when things are getting shaggy. It helps to prevent split ends!
In the next dream our church was getting dancing lessons from an instructor who was an African American woman. She showed us all the first three steps of a very simple dance, which we all did together. Then she let out class early because there was a festival or a celebration that we were all invited to attend. Two dark (evil) men dressed in suits came in and began trying to convince the instructor and the rest of us that we did not want to go to the festival. I looked at my watch to see what day it was and the date was June 3rd. We each had to decide for ourselves if we were going to attend the festival or not.
The dream reminds me of the parable where a king invites all his friends to a wedding feast, but they are too busy to come. I feel God has something special planned sometime around June 3rd and is inviting us to celebrate with him. At the same time the enemy is actively engaged in trying to detract us from experiencing the joy God has for us. I also think that this year is going to bring the first steps of something new that God has for us in the realm of corporate worship.
The last picture was of a dark man that was wearing heavy gold chains and lots of jewelry.
I felt God was saying that he wants to financially bless us this year by delivering us of financial bondage.
