I believe the Lord is saying through this dream to stay the
course. You are moving in the right direction. The large vehicles in the
oncoming traffic wrecking into one another is a warning of unforeseen obstacles
or barriers that will hinder your current goal. It could also be a warning of
an upcoming clash or confrontation in ministries, relationships or business. It
can also represent people in strife; a disqualification; being discontent, a
disagreement, an offense being taken; being derailed; a change in direction,
the end of one phase or relationship to make room for the new. You’ve heard
clearly from Him and though the transition may seemed to have suddenly become
bumpy, causing a shaking to a fro to take place, do not let the sudden change
cause you to question whether you’ve heard Him correctly or not. God is moving
in new ways and different directions than the last season. He’s still doing
what He started, it just may have moved onto the next phase and we must know
the times and seasons of the Lord. If you think of the subdivisions as territories
or seasons, it is easy to see you are being transitioned from one place to
another. Genesis 12:1 The road being traveled becomes bumpy, but it will
only be for sort time. Sometimes it becomes bumpy because you’ve brought along
a “Lot - nephew of Abraham” figure along and he or she needs to be “dropped”
off along the way. It is a temporary transitory time represented by the
apartment complex on the right as I was driving on the grass. Green grass can
represent new life. Stay the course, for on it you will find life. You are
almost there. Just as in the dream, all I needed to do was CROSS OVER the train
tracks and make a right turn into a new subdivision, which could be thought of
as a new season or territory. Things may seem crazy right now, but it will get
better. God is His wisdom is using this time to shake off the things that will
hold you down and hinder you from moving forward. It is a time of testing,
refining and purifying. DO NOT TAKE
ANYTHING PERSONAL DURING THIS TIME – the enemy will use people and situations
to try to run you off the road. Remember to be wise as a serpent, but harmless
as a dove during this time. Let no offense take root in you. Hebrews
12:15 This is easy to do if you just remember that you are not dealing
with flesh and blood. Personal attacks are just proof the enemy knows you are
moving to higher ground and offense taken is like a stick in the spokes of a
bicycle. It will stop you dead in your tracks.
The road the oncoming traffic is on comes to an end, so the forest
green vehicles veer into my lane. We are heading towards each other for a head-on
collision at 50 mph each. Nahum 2:4 These Forrest Green vehicles
represent people who are not discerning enough to know they have missed the
Lord. Luke 23:31; Mark 6:39; Jeremiah 17:2; Exodus 10:25 Some may be
family, friends or even co-workers at a place of employment or a ministry. They
are on a pathway or moving in a direction that God was moving in, but is not
moving in any longer. That has come to an end and they just do not want to
change or they just do not realize that God has brought that season to an end. The
subdivision I was coming out of has a shopping center in it call Vintage Park,
which is meant to be a play on words in the dream. Vintage means - a period
when something was made or begun. So what that says is those who rise against
you for obeying the Lord, who may even believe they are speaking against you on
His behalf, simply do not realize that He has moved on in a new direction, on a
new path and that they are now traveling on a road which is now vintage. Lamentations
3:9 Something that God began but they do not realize that He has
progressed it and is moving in it in a new way. They are not willing to change
and are forcing their will on you, which is really forcing their will on the
Lord. Cypresswood is also a play on words, because the Cypress tree is
mentioned in the bible for its wood being used to make wooden idols to bow down
to and worship. Isaiah 44:14-15. This
says that people not willing to following the leading of the Lord, but choose
to continue in a direction the Lord is not moving in, risk making an idol of
it. They may even become aggressive because they are spiritually immature and
inexperience, jealous, prideful and green with envy. So they will try to derail
you in some way or another. Personal attacks, gossip, slander and the like will
only cause God to bless you more and more. What they plot and whisper against
you in secret, God will bless and multiply you openly for all to see. If, you
hold your tongue. Isaiah 40:4 Stay the course. Do not engage them. Do not try to
defend yourself. Keep moving forward in what the Lord has called you to do. Just
as in the dream, the train tracks could be seen just ahead, even now you are
almost over the hump. You are about to crossover and God will cause you to take
a sudden turn into a new territory, a new resting place. Things will get easier
again and you will see that you have become a new person through the process. Isaiah
35
One last observation about this dream. It takes place in an
area close to where I live. In the dream I’m driving down Cutten Rd, coming from
Vintage Park, I made a left turn onto Cypresswood and from this intersection
you can already see the train tracks up a head. As soon as you cross over the
tracks you can turn right, which is Cutten Rd continued. As you enter this
subdivision on your immediate right is a Fallen Warriors Memorial. Could this
be symbolic in dream of a memorial for those who didn’t make it through this
time of shaking and testing? For those who refused to submit to the Lord? If
so, then this could only mean then for those who do complete the process that a
path only warriors can take has been completed, or a better word would be,
mastered. Mastered in Him.
As for those who are represented in the dream as the Forrest
green vehicles, who most likely will not make it through the process if they do
not turn from their wicked ways, but end up colliding into each other. I want
you to be gracious to them, gentle, loving and longsuffering, because when you’ve
mastered this season, it will be like the 42nd chapter of Job for
you.
And God will have you pray for them, and He will bless them when
you pray to Him on their behalf.
Job 42:7-11
After the LORD had finished speaking to Job, he said to
Eliphaz the Temanite: “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you
have not spoken accurately about me, as my servant Job has. So take seven
bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for
yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer
on your behalf. I will not treat you as you deserve, for you have not spoken
accurately about me, as my servant Job has.” So Eliphaz the Temanite,
Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite did as the LORD
commanded them, and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer. When Job
prayed for his friends, the LORD restored his fortunes. In fact, the LORD
gave him twice as much as before! Then all his brothers, sisters, and former
friends came and feasted with him in his home. And they consoled him and
comforted him because of all the trials the LORD had brought against him. And each of them
brought him a gift of money and a gold ring.Notice something about the passage, when God completed the whole process for Job and his friends, He brought restoration. I believe He is saying in the dream that His purpose is to bring everyone to a singleness of mind and purpose...even those who are represented by the green vehicles. Jesus said, "Father, I have not lost one whom You've given to Me."
Father,
Forgive them for they know not what they do. Please, do not charge them
with this account.
Amen.
Receive this blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
May the Lord make His face shine upon you;
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
His best to you,
