Environmental Shift

As of late, i've been having series of dreams dealing with fishing. On this particular night, i had my pole in hand, plus fishing equipment, walking towards a body of water. As i was walking I remember simulating casting a rod and being real excited because now my time had finally come and i was anxious to see what i would catch. As i neared the water, i began to notice the water levels were real low. Surveying the scene i was taken aback by a Lake Placid (the movie) type Alligator who had shifted to the land and was moving around very quickly looking for food. Somehow my position shifted b/c next, commentary was provided, and it was like i was watching him on TV. His main source of food were underground chipmunks who lived in colonies for protection. What i found to be strange were, some of these animals were soo in fear that they were given themselves to be eaten so to protect the others in their colonies. This kind of bothered me, b/c i realized that an alligator is a water creature, but his main source of food was on the ground, plus these underground creatures were giving themselves away..... any thoughts?

Please pray about this, this is just a thought that came to me. I'm not claiming this to be an interp. This idea came to mind...sounds like you are exited about being a fisher of men to help others come to Christ. The alligator could be the devil, seeking whom he may devour, not wanting people to come to Christ. The chipmunks sound like Christians trying to protect the unsaved (or new christians), putting themselves in danger to make sure they are brought to Christ for His leading and protection.

I thought of "underground churches...christians"...

christians that are fighting just to stay alive in their faith in countries where they will be killed if they come out of their caves,protection....

I thought of how other missionaries are giving of their own lives to preach the gospel to them...

The aligator I thought of how the enemy is an enemy of the water or spirit realm...but he does look to those on the ground..the natural to devour...

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities.........

Wondering if you are being called into missions???

Wow, i really believe that these two inputs were more literal in translation that you realize. I had been having dreams about GOD drawing me to stand in front of large bodies of water in different places, and about a month and a half ago i met a brother from Africa who told me of a possible mission i can take for three days there. To Ghana to be exact. What disturbed me is the fact that some were willing giving themselves up....hmmm, i pray that GOD keeps those who are struggling all over to stay encouraged b/c this fight is real. On last year, i met some people from Russia who had to flee their country due to persecution. they were warned like the day b4 all the Christians were killed in their hometown....Sad story, but true....

anymore insight?

I was wondering if the little chipmunks were giving their lives wrongly because of fear. They were so afraid that they gave their lives, made me think that if they would have learned to trust the Lord and receive His peace and instruction, they wouldn't have had to die.

I'm not talking about true martyrs, but you pointed out that the alligator lives in water and they live on land. Have you ever been so afraid that you were tempted to do something just to have action 'cause it was so hard to wait?

Just thoughts, ok? And may the Lord bless you in your missions.

Yeah, Jesus!

And this fear is sooo real to so many people on many different levels. Some fear that GOD is never going to fulfill his promises in time, others fear the unknown, and the list goes on and on, but just watching those who gave up their lives really disturbed me, b/c they were hidden, so why come above ground and be taken? I know alot of people have been so burden down with different things in this season, that we really have to trust GOD to prevent something like this from occurring within his body...Let's keep each other uplifted in prayer

this is an intpretation -- it really resonates with me...and I wonder with another -- are you being called to missions? Think about taking Perspectives on the World Movement or reading, "Let the Nations Be Glad" and see how you feel...
