Hold Fast To What You Have, That No One Take Away Your Crown! – Humbled for Service

The Lord, the Shepherd of His People

Psalm 23: 5-6

[5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.

[6] Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever!

This morning, the 13^th of November 2019, I had a short but truly wonderful dream that I would like to share and encourage the body of Christ with. This is a dream that I believe is from the Lord, and an indicator of His soon return to take away the Bride.

The dream started with me inside a magnificent building, a truly magnificent building. I cannot tell whether it was a large apartment, or a mansion because I only saw just a few rooms of the building from inside it. I knew by special knowing that this was my home.

The particular room where the dream started was exquisitely furnished, with rich antique furnishings. It looked magnificent, even though this particular dream the Lord gave it in black and white, and not color. I could not appreciate the beauty of the colors of the rooms that I saw, but nonetheless it was indeed very beautiful I could see, with antique furnishings and beautiful wall hangings, flower vases and other decorations.

I came to the end of the room, and there was a cabinet of about 6-ft height and 2-ft wide. The cabinet had a transparent door allowing me to see through this door and into the cabinet. The door material was not glass, but I knew it was transparent gold. The cabinet was partitioned into tiers, and my focus was the top tier of the cabinet, which was empty. I did not note what was on the other tiers, my focus was only on the top tier, and I saw that it was empty.

When I got to this cabinet, I opened it. Apparently I was wearing a crown. I removed the crown and placed it on the top partition of this cabinet, and proceeded to close the door of transparent gold. When I closed the door, I stood for a minute or two to look at the crown, a very beautiful and majestic crown. (The Lord making me to pause and look at the crown, and appreciate its details so that I can relay the same information to you).

The crown was fairly big, about 8 inches the total height of it. The top of the crown was a golden band, and on the golden band were crests (the pointed parts) as is usual with crowns. The crests were not sharply pointed, but they were gently and beautifully curved. And on top of each crest was a precious stone. I could not tell the type of the precious stones that were used because the dream was in black and white. But I could see that these were very precious stones. Rare gems. The rim itself and the crests were of pure gold, brilliant in color.

Below this top brilliant golden band, there was another band of gold reclined inside a little bit. This other band made of a different color of gold. A rich dark gold of about 3 inches. Very dark gold.  And then below this band of rich dark gold, was the final bottom rim of brilliant pure gold, about half an inch in height, just like the top rim. The surface of the dark band of gold was decorated with patterns of slender leaves inclined upwards at about 60 degrees, one to the left and the next one inclined to the right, then another inclined to the left and the subsequent one to the right. And so forth. This motif of slender leaves on rich dark color gold made the crown look really majestic, exquisite, antique and very costly.

And so I paused there in front of the transparent cabinet for a minute or two absorbing its details and appreciating its magnificence, its splendor, and beauty. The crown was very beautiful, and my words do not tell half of how it looked like. Also the Lord has hidden still its true splendor by showing me the dream in black and white. Nonetheless, we understand the message that He is giving us. That soon He will be giving crowns to the believers, and therefore we should hold on and not lose our crowns.

Amen! May it be so our Savior and Lord. Thank You for the encouragement Lord.

Next, I moved to a room where there was a dining table, and sat with authority at the head of the table, as though I was the master of this home. It was dinner time, and although I could not see the servants, I knew that they were preparing and were about to bring out the dinner. (When I woke up, it surprised me, the authority with which I sat at the table. As though I was a ruler somewhere).

Immediately I sat at the table, a lady walked into this dining area and said,

“Hey, I have come. Today I want to have dinner with you“.  

A lady that I have never ever seen in my entire life. She too came and sat at the table next to me on my left side, and we began to chatting the evening away as we waited for dinner to be brought out.

Then the dream ended.

 Relevant Scriptures:

The Church in Philadelphia

Revelation 3:10-11

[10] Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

[11] Behold I am coming quickly! Hold fast to what you have, that no one may take your crown.

I hope you all be encouraged by this dream, as it has truly encouraged me. The Lord is telling us that the hour now is very late. Soon and very soon, the bride will receive her reward.

Blessings and warm regards!
