Hello everyone. I have a dream that THE LORD gave me to share about the importance of using authority everyday in these last days, which ties into what the LORD has revealed to us that we must engage the enemy everyday or else we will be overcome.
Dream: I don't remember exactly how the dream started, but if I remember right I was in the city I live in but in but it looked different, or maybe I was in an area that I have never been in before. It was a neighborhood with just houses around. I eventually go next to mansion type house. I believe it was white. The door opened by itself. It comes to my mind a metal screen door, that was also white (I had this dream earlier this year or sometime last year, so can't remember exactly how the dream was). I went in, and might have had my dog with me on a leash also. The door shut by itself. And though I did not see anyone in the house, I had a "knowing that there were demons around me." After I realized that, I heard the LORD speak to me in the dream and told me to use authority. I know what he meant, to engage the demons. So I started battling in the spirit and rebuking them, and whatever else I did for that. That is what I remember of the dream.
Interpretation (at least part of it): I hardly know any symbolism meanings in dreams that THE LORD gives. But what HE was saying here is that we need to engage the enemy on a regular basis. We need to know the Authority we have over the devil, and not be afraid of any force of darkness.
Luke 10:19-20 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”
Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
If anyone has any other revelation about what is in the dream, leave a comment below. I should also seek the LORD about the symbolism in the dream. Feel free to do the same with the other posting I did in the comments, titled " Prophetic Dream: Rapture"
Your mansion description brought back a dream-post from years ago. Dreamer saw trouble inside the church, despite good intents and some leaders earnest.
The house was open, but the screen door presented some restrictions to passing through. Like jumping through hoops to be approved, compliant, part of a system.
White could have been illusion of purity, whitewashing over crud.
Ministries have gone through widespread scrutiny the last few years, with many scandals and abuse crimes continuing to unravel. Overpaid preachers held up to the light.
Others went bankrupt; seminaries and Christian colleges closed.
The dog could be tools/organizations we use to hold people accountable. The IRS, MinistryWatch, investigative journalism, Vloggers. (Tangible methods, not just spiritual).
You knew there were demons, even though the mansion looked bright and squeaky clean. Corruption is hidden, consciously covered up. Temptations and wrong spirits are allowed to inhabit.
I think this is not just a call to use authority in daily situations, but to pray for Christendom in this way -- that God's house remains holy, that corruption does not represent Christianity, that victims are healed from traumas they endured.
His kingdom come, His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
