We were at a house at the edge of town. It looked like the Uniting Church Manse but was out by itself.
Margaret was pulling a garbage bag up the outside steps. the bag split open dropping a dozen or so artillery shells (they were bullet shaped but as big as a hand) and hand grenades onto the ground.
We quickly gathered them up to the sound of distant gunfire. I knew we had to hide them before the police came- but where? It dawned on me that the Uniting Church was the place to hide them.
The police came into our house which was expensively furnished. There were a dozen officers or more wanting to search the house. I asked for their search warrant, but they didn't have one and they left quickly.
Margaret and i then moved quickly to hide the weapons in the Uniting Church
There are several issues that this dream is pointing to, I believe:
- Authority- the difference between true and false authority
- Spiritual warfare- the weapons that are available to us
- Relationship with the Uniting Church- why hide them there?
- There were a dozen artillery shells and a dozen police officers- symbolic of authority?
- It was a shock for me to be on the wrong side of the law!
Here is a part-interpretation. I don't have all the keys to this yet.
The Lord has given Margaret and me very powerful spiritual weapons- great authority in the Spirit. This is actually true of every follower of Jesus who is determined to obey the Holy Spirit.
The police represent a false and deceptive form of authority which would seek to take these weapons away from us, but actually has no real authority to do so. I wonder if the Uniting church represents the power of denominations to quench the Spirit. Or maybe a continuing hold that the UC has over us after all these years.
I believe that there is a strong word, possibly a warning, from the Lord here and I need to discern what the intent of the message is.
Blessings
