Recap of the Dream from Part 1
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 valued 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.
One older person in the dream tried to lay something over one of the apples to hide it and steal it. Suddenly something came upon this person and the person was diminished and disappeared in front of us.
Then a big person was seen in the distant with a lasso. We knew that this person was very powerful and came to take us with the lasso and 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 he was very powerful, but I said again, that He that was with us was 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 love of God was heavy present. - End of dream
The Work of the Lord
The Almighty God is doing His work in His people and He will not relent until it is complete. His purpose is to see that Jesus Christ will be King of spirit, soul and body. He is preparing us as His temple and He will make sure He can set up His throne in His temple to rule and reign. We are His, and the work will not be by might or by power (of humans) but by His Spirit.
Our Lord is confident in His finished works and so should we be. His word says, "It is finished!"
At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many. So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, "Truly this was the Son of God!" Matthew 27:51-54
The veil torn in two from top to bottom was God`s sign that the sacrifice of His Son was complete and He had now opened up the way back to the Father. All who accept Jesus as Lord and Savior will be accepted before the Father. The blood of Jesus paid in full for us to become free in Him. Salvation eternal is granted. God`s plan is that all will be restored through Jesus Christ and the finished work of the cross.
Like the centurion and those with him feared greatly, saying that truly this was the Son of God, we know that every knee shall bow for His name.
Philippians 2:5-11 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
When Evil Becomes Good and Good Becomes Evil
Today we see that good is called evil and evil is called good. God`s ways are not ours and ours are not His. The golden apples tell us that the glory of God, the divine nature of Christ, the hope of glory in us will cover us and make us whole in Him. We are about ready to cross over into the fullness that the Lord longs for. It will be a transformation like going from Pentecost to Tabernacles. Like Jesus made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, so will we. Those who will be taken from outer court, to inner court to the most holy place will come out of the wilderness with Him, leaning upon Him and trusting Him only. They have seen that none other holds the truth like Him. They have come to know The Truth as a person and will not bow for any other name than His.
God`s Temple
We are the temple of God on earth and He wants to have a dwelling place that is wholly yielded to Him. He knows that any area not surrendered to Him is a stronghold of the enemy and without true repentance, forgiveness and the blood of Jesus it will continue to be an unconquered area.
1 Corinthians 3:16-19 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. 18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
When the enemy came in the dream to attack and take us captive, he used a lasso. When he threw it towards 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 he was very powerful, but I said again, that He that is with us is far more powerful. He then sat down and started to cry. Like Jesus encountered the most resistance by the religious authorities, so will we see that the religious spirits of old will try to attack those who carry His presence and stand in His truth, proclaiming His kingdom.
The gold that came upon the apples, represents a radical transformation that can only come from God. The apples were only an inch in size. That points to how far we have come in our walk with Him. We are not ready and will never be in our own, but God in His grace will make a transformation by His glory as He covers us and changes us into His image and likeness. All we have to do is keep positioning ourselves before Him and let our lives be a living sacrifice unto Him.
The Lukewarm Church
Revelation 3:14-22 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing - and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked - 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
Lord of All
My heart is filled and overflowing of His love and presence as I write this. I can feel that the Lord is telling us by His mercy to come to Him and surrender all to Him before it is to late. He died so that He could become LORD OF ALL. Too many are not willing to give up areas of their lives to Him or to lay down their own opinions or agendas. Many are rich and wealthy and have need of nothing, but God looks down and all He sees is a lukewarm, wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked people that trust only in their own ways.
Look at the promises He gives us. He will come in to us and dine with us and we with Him, and for those who overcome He will grant to sit with Him on His throne.
This is a most crucial time to choose Him and to let Him do His refining work in us, to be zealous and repent. The day is drawing near when we shall appear before His judgment seat. Make a choice to stand for Him in this time and to prioritize Him in everything.
Much love and grace.

Yesterday I had a vision of a golden angel. He had a golden bow and golden arrows. The gold represents the glory and the arrows are words from the Lord. The bow represents His servants, prophets, but not necessarily as in five-fold ministry prophet, because the Bible says we may all prophesy one by one (1 Cor 1:31). So any one of us can prophesy and encourage one another. A prophet, as in five-fold ministry, is someone that can discern the word of the Lord in any given situation. It's not someone that can prophesy over people (although it includes that). We may all prophesy….
