Dear brothers and sisters:
This dream of the tribulation to come was given by the Lord on
4/23/09. Part 1 I was walking along beside a big flat bed trailer
with rails on the sides. The trailer was being pulled by a big
truck or tractor. People were putting all kinds of stuff on the
trailer, but mostly I noticed metal and manufactured metal
products that were headed for a compost recycling program. I was
looking at the stuff and couldn't believe what all was in it- new
motor scooters and nice
farm equipment
and other very nice tools and equipment. I asked if I could see
the finished compost pile and a man said, "you'll have to go to
such and such a place to see it." part 2 I went into a general
store, like the old kind of mercantile stores that were prevalent
many years ago, and bought a homemade jayhawk planter and charged
it on a credit card. (a jayhawk planter is an old type of corn
planter that is hand operated, and plants a seed at a time, no
motor or mechanization involved.) part 3 the Lord showed me
sitting in a church pew with some people beside me.
Interpretation of the dream: In the days ahead people will
be giving up much to keep going and keep food on their table for
themselves and their families. New and expensive "things" will be
sacrificed in a heartbeat for the real necessities of life. Part
2 speaks of a move back to the land, both physically and
spiritually, and the jayhawk planter speaks of a simpler
lifestyle, one connected to the seedtime and harvest, of
treasuring those things in life that are really valuable such as
food and shelter. 1 Timothy 6:6-8 But godliness actually is a
means of great gain, when accompanied by contentment. For we have
brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of
it either. And if we have food and covering, with these we shall
be content. part 3 speaks of the fellowship, the
body of Christ. Hebrews
10:24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to
love and good deeds, v25 not forsaking our own assembling
together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another,
and all the more, as you see the day drawing near.
Genesis 47:14 And Joseph gathered all the money that was
found in the land of
Egypt and in the land of Canaan for the grain which they
bought, and Joseph brought the money into Pharoah's house. v15 And
when the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land
of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us
food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is
gone." v16 Then Joseph said, "Give up your livestock, since your
money is gone." v17 So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and
Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses and flocks and
the herds and the donkeys, and he fed them with food in exchange
for all their livestock that year. v18 And when that year was
ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will
not hide from my lord that our money is all spent, and the cattle
are my lord's. There is nothing left for my lord except our
bodies and our lands. v19 "Why should we die before your eyes,
both we and our land? Buy us and our land for food, and we and
our land will be slaves to Pharoah. So give us seed, that we may
live and not die, and that the land may not be desolate." v20 So
Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharoah, for every
Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them.
Thus the land became Pharoah's.
But in the midst of all this, God's children were given the
best of the land. Gen 47:5 Then Pharoah said to Joseph, " Your
father and your brothers have come to you. v6 The land of Egypt is
at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best
of the land, let them live in the land of
Goshen, and
if you know any capable men among them, put them in charge of my
livestock."
Phillipians 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss
in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my LOrd, for
whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but
rubbish in order that I may gain Christ.
In closing, brothers and sisters, pray and meditate upon this
scripture. James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you
encounter various trials, v3 knowing that the testing of your
faith produces endurance. v4 And let endurance have its perfect
result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in
nothing. God bless you, be strengthened in Jesus name, Jim Rowh
