AFRICA, O, AFRICA!!

Our African Brothers and Sisters in Christ ...

I am about to share with you a dream I had several nights ago that so impacted me. I have been praying before the Father about the dream and waiting for His go ahead to release it to you. Today is the day.

This is a dream that we should take seriously and carry before the throne of God with intercession at this time. I pray that you will join me in this. Please pass this along to intercessors you may know, whether they be a group from a Church, a Ministry, or individuals. People who will pray, is what we're looking for. Thank you!

Dream:

I was walking on a plot of ground that seemed to be a median, but rather large, and where shrubbery should be planted. I would say the plot was maybe 20' x 40'. In the beginning of the dream I knew instinctively that I was walking the perimeter of this ground and that I had come into the company of someone who I was trying to inquire something of. However, I didn't see a representation of the one to whom I was speaking. All at once, I looked down on the right hand, front corner of the plot of ground, to see a very large inlaid circular bronze plate with some type of an official emblem engraved thereon. I then saw a military guard, with ammunition, heading toward me. He looked at me with a totalitarian glare, giving me a very direct message, that I was not to be speaking with this person - at all. The guard then disappeared slowly. I continued to walk the area, when suddenly I found myself standing next to a person, visible to me this time, and asking a question of him. While the question was coming out of my mouth, I looked upward and upward, to finally reach the view of this very tall black man's face. By this time I had finished speaking and the man opened his mouth to begin to answer me. I was absolutely taken aback, when I realized that he wasn't speaking in English. I hand-signed a few motions, trying to see if he knew any English at all and to my amazement, he knew absolutely none. It hit me so profoundly at that moment, that I, for the first time in my life, was not standing on American soil. As I had just come to comprehend this part of the dream, the stoutly guard came violently toward the both of us, this time jerking his gun in a gesture sure to get our attention; clearly to convey the message, once again, that we were not to be conversing! A chill of reality surged through me at that moment. I was in the situations that I'd only written about on-line, from the comfort of my living room and it jolted me! The man I was standing next to, veered off to my left and faded out of site. I looked down, only to see the same right front corner and the same bronze symbol being pointed out to me again. The man with whom I'd been speaking, returned with a power lawnmower, which the commander had told him to go and retrieve. I was then appointed to mow the grass. As I began mowing, I noticed something on the front edging of the ground, by the curbing. There, before me, were dead bodies of black people. Many dead bodies. Babies, and people of all ages. I can't describe how they were laid into the ground, as though they had always been there, a part, and connected to that place. Their bodies were like roadkill that you see in America after baking in the sun for hours. The man with all the power and authority in the situation, demanded that I mow over top of them. It seemed as this was a common practice, just the way things were always done. The man to my left, stood by watching, with his head hanging down. Then I awakened.

I see several points of interpretation, immediately, in this dream.

1) Pray for the people of Africa at this time. Upheaval in government there.
2) They have been under this regime for so long a time, in some regions, and we need to pray a release from those governments over their lives.
3) These peoples have been "mowed over" for decades. They are so downtrodden that many of these people groups have given up hope for change.
4) This "regime" is ruthless ... stands by their emblem ... and will force all to do the same.


I will be praying! Will you? Please join me?

Thank you and God bless. If any of you have knowledge or think you may have insight into the "emblem" in particular, please leave a comment for me.
