Open Door and Dark
Apartment
In the dream it was daytime and I was
returning home from somewhere, perhaps returning home from work. I really
can't remember that part of the dream. The front door of my apartment can be
viewed while walking up the walk toward the stairs. In the dream I walked up
the sidewalk and I noticed that the door of my apartment was open, probably
about half the way open.
I remember looking at the open door and
wondering if I should approach the door. I surmised that perhaps the
intruder might still be in the apartment and he or she might be armed. I did
climb the stairs but as I approached the door I got an ominous feeling, like
I should not go inside. I turned around and walked down the stairs, feeling
like a coward for not going inside and confronting anyone who might be in
there.
I waited around for a while, keeping an eye
on the door and after a time I figured that there was nobody in there. I
climbed the stairs again and approached the apartment and cautiously entered
inside. I looked around and didn't see anyone else, so then I decided to see
what was stolen and what was not. I was very surprised to see that nothing
had been stolen; even my firearms were still there, and the one that I keep
by the bed was there too. I remember feeling comforted that the revolver was
still there; it is a prized possession.
What does this all mean?
In the past Yahweh has given me the
interpretation of my own dreams and when presented to others they bear
witness to that interpretation. But this dream was different. I prayed quite
a few times for Yahweh to tell me what the dream meant and the only thing
that I would get is that the dream had something to do with my spiritual
condition.
I happen to be blessed in that I attend a
fellowship where several people (like myself) are endowed with the office
prophetic ministry. On Wednesday's we usually break bread together at a
local eatery before we head to prayer night. Since I wasn't getting a clear
message from Yahweh concerning the dream I decided to submit it to my
brothers and sisters for their review and hopefully an answer.
Sister Glori was given the interpretation
and she presented it to me toward the end of our dinner time together. She
said that the dark apartment is representative of the secret places of my
heart where I walk alone but where Yeshua desires to walk with me. She said
that the things that I was glad weren't stolen are the things that I run to
in order to feel safe. The reason I was glad that those things were still
there is because I've run to them for a long time whereas Yeshua desires
that I give those things up and run to HIM for a safe haven. I bear witness
with her interpretation of the dream. I've been praying for Yahweh to reveal
all of the things that stand in the way.
