Don't Look Back!

For the last few weeks, I've been having very similar, peculiar dreams. The interesting thing is, the moment I wake up, I know exactly what the dream means — Don't look back.

"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Elohim, I will pour out of my Ruach upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams..." (Acts 2:17)

I believe, according to scripture, that we are living in the last days. There are a few prophesies in the old and new testament that says that in the last days, Elohim will pour down his spirit (or Ruach) on His people and they will have visions and prophesy of what is to come. Now, I don't claim to have all the answers nor do I claim to be prophet, but I do believe that my re-occurring dreams have some type of significance. Therefore, after much deliberation, I decided to post one of them here and share what the Most High has been laying on my heart. I feel that this could be relevant to not only me but for those who find themselves looking back to their old ways of life and losing sight of the reward for leaving it all behind to follow Him.

David wrote in the Book of Psalms about receiving a great reward for keeping the laws, statutes, and commandments of Yahuah. Therefore, it is imperative that we continue to push forward no matter what the cost. We should abide by His law, His appointed times, and His WAY. In doing so, we may lose friends, family members, our possessions, and may even have to deny ourselves from the things we enjoy doing, but we are to leave it ALL to follow Him, right?

"Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward." (Psalms 19:11)

The best example that I can think of that exemplifies what will happen when we choose to look back when Yahuah commands us not to, is the story of Lot's family deliverance from Sodom.

In the Book of Genesis, a story is told about Sodom and Gamorrah. Two cities that were destroyed by Yahuah for their sinful nature. Lot and his family were spared, but were told not look back while the city was being destroyed. While running away from the sinful city, Lot's wife looked back and was turned to a pillar of salt.

Do you remember what happened to Lot's wife when the angel of the Elohim delivered them from Sodom? Lot's wife looked back and she was turned into a pillar of salt. She died because she wanted to look back at the sinful city. I could only imagine that she was filled with sorrow that she was leaving her way of life, in Sodom, behind and wanted one last look to say goodbye. To me, this is an example of what we should not do when we run away from our sinful lives. We should run away from those sinful desires, in haste, and seek Yahuah with all of our mind, body, and soul.

Now that I've briefed you on what has been stirring up in my spirit, here is the dream that sticks out to me the most. I honestly don't think I will ever be able to forget it!

The dream begins...

An old friend and I were driving around in a circle at a very high speed (like on an interstate) with many cars around us. In the car was only she and I. I hadn't talked to this particular friend in a very long time which made this weird by itself. After going around the circle a few time, we finally decide to "get out of the loop" and we found ourselves sitting at a stop sign. All of a sudden, I looked in the back seat and, there, my children were sitting all strapped into their car seats. While we were sitting at the stop sign, the moon began to increase in size. At first, we thought, it was beautiful, but we soon realized that it was actually falling out of the sky. To our surprise, the moon had landed right next to our vehicle. The moment the moon fell, our surroundings became immensely dark.

As soon as it landed, I began to pray, loudly, asking for forgiveness to whatever I had done wrong in my life because at that moment I knew Yahushua was coming or at least coming soon. Immediately after I prayed, I jumped out of the car, ran to my kids, and place them in the stroller and started to walk in the opposite direction — heading to my mother and step-father's house.

When I got to their house, it was a sunny and beautiful day which was odd because it only felt as though a few minutes had passed. Inside, my entire family was there (extended family included) in fellowship, having a good time. I walked through the door and began freaking out saying things like, "The moon is on the ground.", "The moon has fallen out of the sky.", but no one would listen. Eventually, someone said, "The moon and the sun are still in the sky."

At that moment, I looked up in the sky, and sure enough the sun was still there but something odd was happening to it. It was as though it was a timer, counting down to something. The time peice went around once, then twice but didn't finish its second cycle. It repeated itself over and over again. I turned to the person I was talking to and asked if they could see what I was seeing, but to my disbelief, he could not.

At this point, I wanted to prove to him and my family that the moon had fallen out of the sky, so they would believe me. So, I packed up my kids and we went strolling back towards the moon. On the way there, I began to notice that everything around me was gradually getting darker. It was like a gloomy ghost town. Along the way, I passed a man, then another. They looked almost dead but they were trying to speak to me. I ignored them and kept going. Each time I passed a man, it felt as though I was passing through a spiritual door. Again, the closer I got to the moon the darker everything got. By this time, I was scared and I decided to turn back, only once I turned to go back home, I couldn't move forward. I noticed that I could move the stroller forward and side to side, but I, personally, could not move forward. At that moment, I decided to leave my children (in the stroller) for only a brief moment, to run backwards and then forward with all my might to push them through those spiritual doors. Alas, they were able to go through, but I was not. I was stuck in the darkness.

Then, I woke up!

As a mother, my role in my home is to teach my children the WAY. My husband is my covering and he teaches and leads me. In most cases, we discover Yahuah's WAY and His TRUTH together so that we may have eternal LIFE as promised in the scripture. From what I can tell, from the dream, is that I am doing what I should for my children sake, but I shouldn't lack in growth on my own behalf or slip backward to reach other by trying "fit in" instead of being "set apart" as He commands us.

You see, I believe the lessons that Yahuah is trying to teach me through my dreams is that we should not fall backward in the pursuit of winning souls. We are not responsible for waking up others, only Yahuah can do that. It is our job to help restore and prepare them for what is to come once they have awakened. This does not mean you shouldn't communicate with non-believers... it means that you should continue to share the TRUTH and if they do not reciprocate it, let it be and move on. For Yahushua said that they are not denying you they are denying Him and that we should dust off our feet and move on (Matthew 10:14).

Furthermore, this dream, like the others, reminds me of Joel chapter 2. The moment I read it, I got chills. It was like I was seeing what was prophesied in that chapter but through the lens of my life. I did not know this chapter existed or what it said before I began looking in to what, I believe, Yahuah was trying to tell me. All in all, I truly believe that Yahuah is sending us warnings and I want to be a part of the warning system.

I hope those who have ear, hear and those who have eye, see.
