Wrapping Things Up ~ The Dream

After ten years of prayer, I was tired and after attempts by various people for release, I still felt bound by the prayer assignment.  For me, when a change in ministry is imminent, the Lord gives dreams. Finally, He sent one preparing me for the end. 

In the dream, I attended a service at the church; I found myself sitting not in a pew but lying down in between the pews resting. I then found myself upstairs in the office of the church.

I went through a closet, packing things up, deciding what of mine to keep at the church and what to take home with me. The items appeared to be wrapping paper, bows, and things to cover packages with. The whole time I was sorting and packing, I was singing the song “Sing Hallelujah to the Lord”. 

After prayer to determine if the dream was from God, I received the following scripture address:  Jeremiah 31:11-12 “For the Lord has redeemed Jacob and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.  Therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord—For wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all.”

The first scene of the dream where I was resting between the pews indicates a rest for me, hence the winding down of the assignment. The next scene where I am upstairs in the church signifies the spiritual aspect of our work - prayer…upstairs meaning closer to God, or upper room. 

I was cleaning out the closet (my prayer closet) deciding what to take home with me and what to leave at the church (my departure from the church and the prayers that would stay to cover God’s people).  The wrappings indicate the obvious of ‘wrapping things up,’ as in my assignment.  Also, the wrappings were used during my tenure at the church to present my gifts to the people God called me to minister to (i.e., the letters from the Lord, prayer, and spiritual warfare).

While packing I was singing, worshipping the Lord, hopefully being sweet incense and making a joyful noise unto Him.  The singing is also indicative of Jeremiah 31: 11-12, giving me hope that this assignment will result in the revival that God has promised me, in addition setting the prisoners free (that don’t even know they are prisoners).

However, my release from the assignment was not automatic. I had a vision of me being anointed with oil by the head pastor to be free from the prayer obligation.  The Lord asked me to do one final thing. He told me to “Let the hand of the man who set you in service release you.” As I pondered this concept of being released by the head pastor, God spoke again, “Did not the king have to give a decree to release Joseph?”  Genesis 41:14 “Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon…”

Another address: Matthew 16:19 “And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”  In other words, a man set me in service, though it was the will of God, yet God required that man to break the bond willingly. I also believe that the head pastor did not even realize the spiritual bond that had resulted from his initial request asking me to pray for the women’s ministry ten years prior.

As I told Bobby about my release, he was concerned as to how the head pastor would treat me. We consulted a pastor friend on staff, and he was to take the request to the head pastor instead of me. I was to wait for this friend to perform what he had promised; we asked him in June 2014.

My confirmation of release came on September 4, 2014…four years to the exact day of when I took the final word of correction to the head pastor (September 4, 2010).  It was told to me that the head pastor was thankful for the ten years of prayer service, and I was grateful for the gratitude.  I asked God for confirmation of my release, and I heard, “If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.”  Then the address a week later:  John 8:36 “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” 

It was finished!

1/29/25 EARTHMOVER DREAM 

I hope you have read my post under Heart of an Intercessor titled City of Angels Wildfire ~ Signs Signs Everywhere a Sign. This is the explanation of the Earthmover dream I talk about in that article.

“Further meditation, I received a scripture address of Isaiah 61:4. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.

Wow! Then, the Spirit reminded me of an old dream of me maneuvering a huge earthmover not remembering when it was. Another address came of Isaiah 58:12. So like the Lord, it has ‘Earthmover’ dream from 2014 written next to the verse.”

Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. Isaiah 58:12.

In the dream, I was driving a huge earthmover carefully maneuvering it between other vehicles. I was surprised that I was driving such a large piece of machinery. 2014 saw the end of my 10-year prayer assignment and the beginning of the next ministry phase.

In order to understand why the Lord brought this dream back up 11 years later, we must look at the symbol of an earthmover. “A vehicle designed to excavate or transport earth in large quantities. A machine (such as a bulldozer) for excavating, pushing, or transporting large quantities of earth (as in roadbuilding).” Merriam-Webster.

“The excavator in your dreams is a metaphor that encourages you to dig deep, uncover hidden truths, and pave the way for a future filled with possibility. Also, driving an excavator can be a thrilling and empowering experience. Suggesting that you are taking control of a situation and wielding your power to make significant changes. The excavator represents your ability to tackle challenges head-on, move obstacles out of your way, and pave the way for your goals and aspirations.” Excavator Dream Interpretation | DreamChrist

It is allegorically speaking of prayer. I take that to mean be movers and shakers on this earth through prayer. We are to take the kingdom by force, move mountains! And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12. “Prophetic intercession is our conspiring together with God, “breathing violently” into situations through prayer to bring forth life.” James Goll: The Art of Prophetic Intercession.

So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20.

‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Zechariah 4:6-7a.

He is asking us to rebuild the city which bears the names of His servants, the angels. Let’s take our roles seriously as earthmovers and shakers joining Him in reconstructing desolations and repair the ruined cities. Show us how, LORD!

I got an answer to that prayer the day President Trump visited Pacific Palisades. You know, as well as I do, he is a builder. We have our mandate. We are to pray and lift up the hands of President Trump to rebuild the desolations that the fire has left in its wake.

Lord, we ask you to make President Trump the rebuilder and restorer of the streets to dwell in, not only in Los Angeles, but also in our country. Amen and amen.

Thus says the Lord, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons; and concerning the work of My hands, you command Me. Isaiah 45:11.
