PROPHETIC DREAM: ENTER THE MATRIX
Released 3rd August 2022
I want to share with you a very significant dream I had last week, that left me quite emotional for a few days. I believe it is from the Lord and humbly share it with you today.
The dream began with me standing in an auditorium about to speak at a church. I was enquiring of the Lord as to what He wanted me to say. The congregations were resistant and apathetic, so I felt an even greater importance that I needed to truly hear from the Lord about what He wanted me to share.
In the dream, as I was praying, I heard the voice of the Lord say: "Go to Romans 12". I am confused by this and begin to ponder it.
As I am thinking about this, one of my friends walks up to me. She had come to support me because she sensed the resistance. She must have heard the voice of the Lord also, because she said to me: "Oh, you know Romans 12 has the secret, right?"
And I said, "What secret?" And she said, "It's how you enter the matrix".
So as I got up to speak, I simply read Romans 12. Once I read the passage, I felt prompted simply to share all the signs and wonders I had seen. I shared testimony after testimony. I wasn't even preaching; I was just sharing stories. But the entry point to the signs and wonders was reading out Romans 12.
As I shared, my friend began laughing with supernatural joy. Everyone started to listen and were amazed at God's miracles and what he had done. They began to come alive with the expectation of what God could do!
When I woke, I immediately went to Roman's 12 and received further clarity on the dream. In this passage, the Lord talks about being transformed by renewing the mind. When we are transformed by God's word, our imagination and reasoning become sanctified, and we can see how God sees and even move in the Spirit amongst that which we may not understand rationally. This passage also talks about humility and sacrifice.
Then the Lord took me to verse 4-8. We go on to read that each member of the body has a part to play:
"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."
I then looked up the word Matrix. One of the meanings of the word "Matrix" in the Oxford dictionary is: the cultural, social, or political environment in which something develops.
I sensed that this combination of a renewed mind and imagination, humility and sacrifice of our own will and desires, coupled with ministry service to others, was the entryway to seeing signs and wonders follow, impacting society, politics and culture.
Romans 12 is truly how we enter the matrix!
As I continued to pray about this, I saw a big soup pot.
I saw a carrot, and on the carrot were the words: "If you are a prophet, prophesy"…
I saw a turnip with the words written on it: "If you are an evangelist, preach the gospel"…
Another vegetable was, "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind".
The Lord was putting all of Romans 12 into a soup pot.
It was matrix soup! It turned into a delicious, nourishing soup as it started heating up.
When the soup was ready, I saw a person, and somehow I knew it represented the whole body of Christ.
They took a bowl and a spoon, and as they lifted a spoonful of steaming hot soup to their mouth, they began to eat. As they did, it nourished their bodies and they started to glow with light from the inside out. The body of Christ was coming alive with those who had sacrificed themselves in devotion to the gifts and callings that were given to them. They were not trying to be anything else but that which was their calling, and it was nourishing the body from the inside out!
They became empowered with the ability to release signs and wonders that impacted the world around them.
I then heard the Lord say, "The right ingredients will cause the matrix that will bring cultural, societal and political change".
I sense we are entering a season of Romans 12 in action. Greater transformation, humility, sacrifice & service will bring signs & wonders that unveils radical change throughout society.
May we yearn and hunger to be a people willing to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, may we be humble and may we be willing to lay down our lives so that the matrix of Heaven can be made known on the earth!
