The Dream About the Golden Apples and the Glory of the Lord

Golden Apples and the Glory of God

Part 1 by Tage and Dana Mathisen

The Dream About the Golden Apples and the Glory of the Lord

In the dream I was with my wife Dana and we were in an open place. It was like it was outside but also inside. There were very few people with us. It felt like a remnant.

Then suddenly some small items were covered in gold. One of the items was taken to a bank that appraised gold. The value of the item was so high that all our debts were cancelled and we now had the resources for the journey ahead and the purpose of God.

There was a very big apple tree where we were. This tree had hundreds of apples on it. The apples were still small, like an inch in size. Suddenly ALL the apples were covered in gold. When this happened the dream shifted and I could feel that my understanding of what just happened increased a lot. I knew that the apples covered in gold were like the glory of God. It all became so precious and holy.

I knew then that we had to protect this and that many would come to try to steal the apples.

An older woman in the dream tried to lay something over one of the apples to hide it and steal it. Suddenly something came upon her and she was diminished and disappeared right in front of us.

Then a large man in stature was seen in the distance with a lasso. We knew that this person was very powerful and he came at us with his lasso to steal the golden apples.

I was behind a wall that looked like a hallway. Then the lasso came towards me to catch me. I grabbed the lasso and saw that the big powerful person came towards me. I told the person that if he touched us or the apples he would be destroyed. He said to me that he was very powerful, but I said to him, that He that is with us is far more powerful. He then sat down and started to cry.

We all felt the peace of God take over the whole area and the presence of Gods love was very heavy, very weighty. - End of dream

True Peacemakers

This dream clearly gives us an indication that God is about to finish a work in His people. Those that have yielded to Him, obeyed Him and also have let Him do His work to prepare a body to be His bride will see that He will let His peace reign in and through them. It will be the start of what it says in Isaiah 9 and it will never end.

Isaiah 9:6-7 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

While we pray, asking the Father "Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven." We are asking Him to establish His Kingdom to rule in and through us. God wants to give us His Kingdom, but He will make sure He can give it to those who are one with Him. Jesus said in Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. It is to the sons/daughters of Him that He will entrust the Kingdom.

Remember that His Kingdom is the opposite of the kingdom of this world. We see that when Jesus is talking to His disciples in Matthew 5:3-12

3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. 8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 10 "Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 "Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

The apples that were hanging on the tree were suddenly covered by pure gold. The Lord has called each one to let His Holy Spirit do a work of sanctification to make Him a people that is one with Him. This has been a work where only by taking up your own cross and following His will can lead to the fullness of Him in you. Those who have rejected His calling for this will not see the grain of wheat die and it will not bare much fruit.

John 12:24-26 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. 26 If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

God started speaking to me about the difference of leaving everything and losing everything. To leave everything is often the external things such as a job, house, car, family and so on. While losing everything is when the grain falls into the ground to die so it can bare much fruit. That is when you start on the path that is narrow with Him. It is also when you have chosen to lay down your own life and choose to see your own agenda being buried for good. In this process we are learning to not lean on our own understanding but learning to trust the Lord more and more. Trusting in our own ways is futile, so the goal is to fully trust in Him.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And do not lean on your own understanding.

The Tree of Life

On the narrow path our mind becomes more clear. There is an attack from the enemy but as we learn to hear His voice and to set our life to have our mind renewed we will see things clearer. It is like when you look at something from a great distance, you will see it blurry, but when you get in very close, it all becomes very clear. When the Lord becomes the main thing, we are able to stay in His truth and are able to get to know His ways.

Psalms 86:11 Teach me Your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your name.

As we embrace the truth of the Lord and put His truth higher than other "truths" or traditions of men, we will walk closer to His light and become changed into His likeness. This is the main purpose for a disciple of Christ Jesus, to become like your master. Who or what you make your master is what you become like. Another way to say this would be, what you magnify will manifest. We cannot think for a moment that we can be undetermined and not willing to make a choice and think that everything will be alright. Today as the darkness is growing in all areas of the world, it is clear that choosing to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil only leads to death. Nations are turning away from God, that have been blessed by Him. Nations that were set aside unto God are now causing strongholds of the enemy. Prophet after prophet are calling forth people and nations to turn back to God. The scripture is given in 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

As watchmen we have to stand up and by His will stand in the gap like Ezekiel, Isaiah, Daniel, Moses, Nehemiah, Phinehas, Paul, Peter and Jesus Himself. God is looking to the earth and seeking who is willing to stand in the gap for Him. Today if He calls you, answer Him.

Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

It cost to say yes to walk the narrow path that leads to life. To the world, it can seems like those who walk on this path are weak, but the opposite is true. In fearing the Lord more than they fear man they have gained wisdom and revelation that they are dead in Christ and that they now live for Christ.

Phil 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

What you fear will master you. The fear of the Lord is not to be afraid of Him like we think of fear, but it is when you set His truth and His way above your own. It is when you trust Him more than you trust yourself or anyone else.

Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

To be continued.

Much love and grace.

Standing in the Storm by Tage and Dana Mathisen

Standing in the Storm

by Tage and Dana Mathisen

Deeper Roots

We have seen that when a heat and drought occur, the trees will dig their roots deeper and deeper to get to water. It is the same as with trees in areas with much high winds, they spread their roots widely and deep to stand in the storms.

As we now see a shaking in many nations, we as Christians are to go deeper in Christ than ever. God has a purpose for this. He wants us to embrace His Kingdom which is unshakable. All that is of the natural or temporal is being shaken. There is a huge transition going on which leads to confusion unless you are deeply grounded in Jesus as THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life!

The transition is leading from church age into Kingdom age. As Jesus preached and taught the Kingdom of His Father, He also demonstrated it in power and authority. God`s plan is to present a glorious and spotless bride to His Son. Today there is more essential than ever to yield to the Holy Spirit. Everything outside Christ Jesus will fall short. God will raise up His people in such a manner that governments and leaders of corporations and businesses will seek wise counsel from the sons and daughters of God.

Choices and Unity

I saw a line in the sand in a vision yesterday and it is clear that the choices we make today will be of huge impact in the days ahead. In that I have seen that much of what worked before will not work anymore. God is upgrading now, and it is all by His Spirit. In the transition now He is searching for a pure and willing heart.

As the people have demanded their kings like Saul, God is preparing His Davids. It is a preparation of the heart that happens when our heart is becoming one with the heart of the Father. It will be a oneness and unity between the Father and those who have His heart, not seen before. These vessels will only do what the Father is doing and speak what He is speaking. Many are in a preparation for this today. They do not follow the ways of man, but are led by His Spirit.

Upgrades in Transition

God is calling on us for upgrades! There will be a lot of upgrades in this transition for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. There is also a release of His Spirit of excellence like what happened with Daniel. Much will be in apprehension of Christ in us and the revelation of who He is in us. There is a purging going on now that will sift the dross out of the gold.

God will give wisdom and revelation so amazing that when it is spoken it will be like a wonder. The oneness with the Father will be so tangible that when we speak, it will be created. We will call forth into existence what was not there. Wisdom will flow like a river of life in and through His people.

Unity with the Father will create a unity between His people that brings the body in alignment with Jesus (The Head). This will result in even greater works than Jesus did. As Moses face was shining of God`s glory, Christ in us will shine through us in a way that all people will recognize that we are one with Him. When we speak, our heavenly dialect will reveal that we belong and are one with Him. Just as Peters dialect revealed he had been with Jesus.

Stand in the Coming Storms!

The basics Jesus taught will be foundational in the time ahead. It will not only be words, but it will be our lives as testimonies. I see that our vision will be much more focused and the focal point will be of who Jesus is in us. More and more will come alive, as the revelation of that we are seated with Him in heavenly places is more real than what we see in the natural.

When God pours out His glory on earth, we have to be rooted strong in Christ and Him only, or else we will not be able to stand and minister. God wants His people to stand in the storms coming.

In a dream I had this night, I saw many people in a forest area. They seemed worried and anxious. Then in the dream I prepared a weapon, it was a spear. I knew there was a boar (hog) that was going to attack us. Suddenly the people sounded the alarm that the bore was attacking, and I was ready with the spear. It came straight towards me and I pointed the spear towards the boar as it attacked and it was killed.

Then all the people screamed out that a big bear was coming to attack and kill us. Everyone was terrified and screamed. Suddenly the big bear came straight towards me, then a person ran towards the bear and jumped up into the arms of the bear, as the person had no fear of this evil attacking us. My spear as I looked at it, was now bent on the tip in a 30 degree angle. I ran towards the bear and was able to spear it from many different angles while this other person was fighting it from the front. It was a team work and after about 20 hits by the spear, the bear was dead.

The Lord showed me that the boar is an unclean and deceiving attack of the enemy on the body of Christ. I sense strong in my spirit that the enemy wants to rob every follower of Jesus of their divine purpose and identity in Christ. This match was the easy one as it only took one hit with the spear and the enemy was out.

The second attack by the big bear is different. It is to those who choose to follow Jesus no matter what and in faith step against the whole system of the enemy. The bear is attacking in finances and blocking people and ministries to get in position. It is even hindering the birth of purposes. When the big bear attacks it tries to put a weight of fear in anxiety and unbelief that many will fall under.

The weapon as a spear is revealed to me to be our declarations made in the spirit out from the authority in Christ seated with Him in heavenly places. Arise by His Spirit into your rightful place with Christ in the heavenly places, far above any second heaven evil authority. The person attacking the bear is revealed to me to be angels of God who partner with us. When we declare the word and will of God by His Spirit the angels are assigned to fulfill those declarations. Even attacking and removing enemies.

Victory in His Blood

In Revelation 12:11 it says: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Proclaim victory in His blood and keep standing!

There is no greater foundation to stand on in this time than proclaiming the ultimate victory of His blood and His word. Even when we face great tribulation we will endure it with constant statement of the overcoming power of the blood of the Lamb and the word of the transforming faith in Christ. When Satan is attacking in a most vicious and personal way against us, we will stand. It is all because of a faith that is unwavering, resulting from an abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.

Declare your abiding faith in the accomplished work of the Cross, and constantly participate in Jesus` ultimate victory, overcoming Satan by the power of the Cross. God`s grace will empower you to step into this faith to overcome in Christ.

God bless every one of you as you read this. Grace, grace to any mountain that arise against you by the enemy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

Love and much grace.
