Mike,


I don't have any knowledge of Nimrod, that is to say I have not researched that topic.  Does scripture really specify when the AC will be wounded in the head?  I know BHO already has a serious scar on his head, maybe behind the right ear.  It was posted here on Doves some months ago.  Is it going to be a literal head wound or a spiritual symbol?  I am not sure, Revelation contains so much symbolism.


I have something for you to consider here.  I once read this statement and know the truth of it...."Scripture reads differently for those in the Spirit than for those under the law."  This is another of those things that is not truly understood by the institutional church.  They teach that when we "accept Christ" we move into the Spirit (best way I can put it.)  That just ain't so.  We have a lot of flesh to be dealt with and it is the law that deals with the flesh.  If we will seek the Lord's purging (that requires a VERY personal relationship with Him) then He can bring us into the Spirit but there is a lot of tribulation, discipline and chastisements, required through a lot of painful obedience to bring this about.  Watchman Nee's book "The Release of the Spirit" has been a topic of discussion here recently and in it he deals with this matter.  Should be required reading for all serious seekers.

As far as being a warrior goes I personally am in constant conflict with the spiritual forces that seek to defeat God's plans for His creation and people.  It is a here and now battle.  Consider Zerubbabel in Zechariah.  Zerubbabel means "one out of mixture and confusion" and he levels the great mountain not by might and power but by the spirit of the Lord.  Once Father has cleansed us of our unrighteousness we become a force of power in the heavenlies and though we can't "see" it we fight great battles in that realm.  Presently it can be extremely taxing on the emotions and body but when the transformation occurs we will have a greater anointing AND renewed (even glorified?) bodies.  We will then be fully equipped (supernaturally) for the tasks we will be assigned.

I don't have any more on your dream, Mike.  I just don't understand the symbolism.

I want to discuss your comments about not living up to standards but I need to get away from this and give thought how to best respond.  I do see an attitude of self-condemnation in your statements and if you can get to the root of that you should then be able to see yourself as Father sees you.  We can discuss it here on Doves where others might read and benefit or we can take it to email but I do feel that the matter deserves to be separated from the larger discussion going on between us.  My email is oakson144@yahoo.com if you want to use it.  In fact email me anyway, OK?
