Hello. I have a dream to share that THE LORD gave me. It seemed personal to me, for what I had in mind with regard to the safe havens that are active. I thought the LORD was leading me to move into a safe haven, but, at least for now, HE is leading me to stay here in the city I live in. Not what I was expecting, but I see now after leading me to stay here why. He has a plan for me here that is still not done, whether I move to a safe haven later on or not, which is what I wanted to do. Note: "I", but we need to do HIS will not our will in our lives.
Dream: What I remember from this dream is that I found myself next to a little house. The house was next to a big slope area of dirt. It was fairly steep but you could still walk on the sloped area. There was a garden next to the house in the slope area. So, yeah, it was a garden on a slope, so not an ideal place for a garden, but I remember thinking in the dream that I like what I was seeing, because it reminded me of a safe haven and since that is what I wanted to join, I was content or maybe happy with what I was seeing. But after that I heard the voice of the LORD in my dream. And what I heard was "I have something better for you." I remember at first shortly after having this dream, that THE LORD was going to lead me to a safe haven that is better than what I saw in the dream. But after efforts to try to join one that did not come into fruition and other things that THE LORD has done in my life, I realized that, at least for now, HE wants me to stay right where I am.
I remember part of a message that THE LORD gave where HE said something, if I am correct, about seeking HIM on moving from where you are or not because of different things that will come, and it is not going to be safe in the cities. And HE said for some that means moving out of the cities. NOTE: "for some" So, using understanding that THE LORD has given me, not all of us are called to move out of the cities. So let's seek HIM on what is that better thing HE has for us that is different than what we thought if your in the same boat as me. Feel free to leave a comment.
Hearing the voice of the LORD in a dream has only happened to me 3 times so far that I remember, and each time it has been a prophetic dream. The other two times I have posted on the forum: "Prophetic Dream: Rapture" and "Prophetic Dream: Using Authority (Against the Enemy/Spiritual Warfare).
Good word. Living for Him, listening and heeding. Salt and light. Helping elderly and families with needs nearby.
Unused safe havens still serve a purpose, helping us feel there are comforting groups of people when it seems there is no one to turn to. Extending reassurance to others, and asserting this is how we live out our values.
In reality, coordinating can get chaotic and competitive. Think of how many opinions and strong voices come up in a simple church committee, deciding carpet colors or pot luck policies. Anxiety increases rules, which increase anxiety.
Safe haven groups are not wrong or right in themselves -- they will come with their own sets of challenges. Costs of properties, rentals, building materials increased so much in the last few years, moving is not possible for many.
This is a good time to connect with neighbors, and notice what we have around us.
