Yesterday I wrote about a dream the Lord gave on 12/17/10 as an answer to my inquiry about His message for the New year. I had been praying for the local pastors who meet in prayer, and for the New Year’s Eve Service. After the original dream the Lord brought 4 more dreams, on Dec 19th, 20th, & 21st. These dreams had a common theme; one person exalting himself, using his gift for his own purposes. Today I will share the first of those 4 dreams.
In the dream from Dec. 19th I saw a wedding band with diamonds inset, flush with the band. This type of setting is called “pavement” setting. But one diamond, on the right end of the row, stood up. It would catch on things, so I pushed it back into place, only to see it stand up again. This repeated a few times. Its prongs were different than the pavement setting; they were the Tiffany setting.
Interpretation –Jewels represent God’s people, which have the truth (Mal 3:17 KJV). Pavement is our position as we clear the highway of the Lord from obstacles so that His people can travel across it (Is 57:14; 62:10). One man let things catch on himself because he exalted himself. Though corrected, he kept returning to his high position due to his setting. Right indicates literal, or occurring in the physical world. It is something we will literally see take place.
Though a leader may think it a good thing to position himself high where others can see him, he will cause them to stumble (catch) on him after he exalts himself. We are meant to work together, each member (jewel) contributing according to the faith and gifts he or she has. The work of the ministry is to prepare God’s people in maturity (Eph 4:11-16). This will bring unity as the body builds itself up in love. If a leader exalts himself it will result in a following, not in unity.
