Dying to the flesh willfully

Dear bretheren,

I would like to share with you two regenerational dreams I had just recently.

Reward Cycle Dream:

In the first one there was a large designer japanese styled bowl of steamed vegetables that were none I've ever seen before but they looked good. They were hot and steaming and I took one that looked like a familiar vegetable here in South Africa and then I salted it and it was really good and tasted just like it but better.

Symbolism:

CAKE/FOOD: Celebration of completed cycle of and value of the prize.

Salt I reckon symbolises how Truth preserves our fruit.

Dying to the old man and new cycle of growth:

I was running and and then I noticed that a flood of water was coming down behind me and I thought it was going to come over me but flowed to the side and I was relieved. I continued running and somehow I knew that something was going to happen and I was going to die and then I felt like something struck me suddenly but painlessly and I knew I was dying and then I just threw myself on the ground knowing that I was dying. I died and then I got up again and continued running knowing that I'm going to have to do the same thing a couple of more times along the way.

Symbolism:

1. Running represents in this dream my fitness in faith.

2. FLOOD: Water (soul). Sudden swell of emotions which threatens to overcome you. May also indicate gradual changes. Usually from outside forces that are beyond our control.

The flood represents my challenges of faith in the next cycle of my growth.

3. Knowing that I'm dying and willfully doing it shows my submission to God's judgement of mercy in my cycle of growth by my continuance at the altar.

4. Getting up again is overcoming my cycle as I continue running the race of faith.

5. Knowing that I'm going to die and get up again over and over shows my maturity in yielding to the Spirit. That as long as we're in this dimension we will have to endure our cycles with faith and patience.

Well, I guess I just have to keep my vessel full of faith ;o)

I offer these spiritual sacrifices for your edification and growth:

> Those of faith walk circumspectively in covenant with God. Only beyond the boundaries of covenant is our perspective overtaken by Satan's darkness.

>> As we behold Christ in His covenant tools His Grace and Truth will influence the will into building a righteous kingdom in the soul upon God's rock of Truth and not Satan's philosophies.

>> Let the kingdom of God in us abound in much fruit that we may present to God Most High a harvest of His Joy.

Yours in Christ,
