performance

This dream is the second in a series of 4 and was given to me 12/20/10. I shared the prior dream yesterday. All 4 dreams were in response to my prayers after a dream which preceded all 4. If you have not read these 2 prior dreams please see my earlier posts. Thank you. Here is the second of the series of 4 dreams;

In the 2nd dream I saw a circle of performers on stage. They were to take turns leading the audience in song. It was a man on the left end of the circle’s turn to sing. He had a wonderful country voice, but was only singing a few repeating words; “Dana, chance, whew”. I looked at my song sheet (each person in the audience had one and they were like the caroling sheets I had at my caroling party). I thought that I surely must be missing part of his words for the prior singers had led us in Christian songs, yet when I found his song, it was only the same set of 3 words, repeated over and over again. Though he sang beautifully, he was saying nothing, which was disappointing.

Interpretation – Whether in song or prophecy, what is done on the stage ought to have a message. The Word (Bible) has used singing as symbolism for prophecy (Ez 33:32) so we can use the message of this dream to apply to what may occur during the worship service as well as with a vague prophecy. To the contrary, prophecy is supposed to hit a “distinct note” (1st Cor 14:8) so as to prepare people by the Word which is spoken.

Left represents spiritual, or a movement that is initiated from an unseen force. We do not “see” the repetitions and vagueness as a direct onslaught against God’s word to us, but we feel the impact of disappointment, as if knowing there should be substance to what we are hearing. Though the servants of the Lord should not have a “performance” mentality, sometimes ministers of the Lord feel the need to speak or minister in worship yet do not convey a message. Let us all be mindful that the Church as a whole is the Lord’s body, and serve Him by giving our fellow servants their portion at the proper time (Mt 24:45). Amen.
