Last night, I had a dream that I believe is a word for my local church and the body of Christ. In the dream, I was walking with a Maasai warrior. He started to pick up the pace and he wanted me to run beside him. In the dream, I knew that we were running toward a battle. At that moment when the warrior asked me to run, I didn’t have a weapon. All of a sudden, I looked up to the sky and declared that I needed a spear, and one appeared in my hand. Then the Maasai and I picked up our pace and started running and the terrain ahead of us was at an incline. That was the end of the dream. When I awakened, I knew the dream was from the Lord. I felt like the Lord was saying that it’s not a time for the body of Christ to hunker down in foxholes, but it’s a time to run toward the battle. Also, the spear represented spiritual weapons that the Lord has equipped us with in Christ. All we have to do is ask (As you know the battle we are fighting in this country is a spiritual one, and you can only fight spiritual battles with spiritual weapons, which are mainly released in prayer). Honestly, I don’t know what running toward the battle is supposed to look like for everyone, but I believe if we seek the Lord, He will reveal what it means for us individually. Like I stated in my last email, I know that there is grace for this pandemic time. However, I also believe that if we’re not careful and discerning the enemy will keep us stationary in our foxholes dodging mortars. Again, I’m not judging anyone, or saying that we don’t need to honor the social distancing and mask wearing. For all that know me, I am saying this will all grace indented as we are all trying to figure this out. For TC and I, running toward the battle means that we are spending time in prayer together, and we are seeking the Lord trying to get heavens report; and we are receiving Eucharist and plugging into fellowship as much as we can. Grace, mercy and peace to everyone, and there is NO CONDEMNATION IN CHRIST.
