Dead Man's Curve - A Warning Dream for Those in Ministry

These dreams were given to me on May 20 and 21, 2011. However, these warnings will never cease, so I am posting them here. Please share with anyone you know who is in ministry.

Dead Man’s Curve

This message is to remain fully in tact and not distributed partially. Although this message is for the Church in general, I realize it does not apply to everyone specifically, but I am relaying the dream because it is the Lord’s desire that the message get out and so we are asking for you to pass it along. It will also speak to any Christian if they will allow God to do so.

I deeply loved my husband of 24 years (at the time of the writing of this dream), so you can imagine my shock when I had a dream (May 20, 2011) and I audibly heard, “Adultery and not loving your spouse is one of the deadliest sins of all” and that my husband’s wife (me) had cheated on him numerous times. I awoke appalled, angry, frustrated and curious what God meant by that. 

I prayed and inquired of the Lord diligently about what He meant. I learned that the reason I was referred to in the dream in the third person was because it was something I was not taking responsibility for (in the first person) AND that the wife of the husband is the church of Christ. The next night my answer would be revealed and it would be a message I was to give to those in ministry – especially those that travel.

Please ask God to open your heart to receive all He desires for you to receive from this message.  I have received tons of emails so far with amazing testimonies of receiving this message “just in time” – and many even saying it has saved their marriage and ministry. 

I have studied and taught on dream interpretation since 2003. (and have documented and interpreted over 60,000 of my own dreams in addition to interpreting thousands of dreams for others at the time of this post. I mention this simply to let you know the magnitude of the message, because in all of the dreams I’ve personally had, this ranks among the top 10 of the seriousness and the weightiness of the message. I am also including my personal interpretation of the details of the dream, as I understand them thus far (I remain open to correction from God). Please also seek God for yourself and ask Him to show you personally. 

 It is lengthy, but please read it in its entirety – it is very important. An abbreviated interpretation is included at the close of this message should you decide the details are not important and would prefer to read the su

The following night after my initial dream about me being in adultery, [May 21, 2011) I had three dreams. The first one I will title 

“Dead Man’s Curve” 

I was gradually traveling up a mountainside with an old friend named Mark. It was a very long and winding road that gradually went up the mountain. We were told to find a place to serve others, so we had set out on a journey to choose a place. We eventually chose to serve at Dead Man’s Curve. It was at the top of this hill we were ascending (a mountainside). Someone says as they describe that the curve at the top is dead man’s curve, “You can hear the screeching of the wheels”.  I hear the screeching and it’s a horrible, very frightening sound of almost certain disaster….holding our breath, expecting the final crashing sound.

When we get to the top of the hill where dead man’s curve takes a severe bank to the right, it’s a hairpin turn that turns into a cul-de-sac and there is a cheap motel there on the left side of the cul-de-sac. The motel is like a Motel 6. Mark decides not to go where we were asked to go because he wants to continue on going the way he was going (I am with someone else now, not Mark –  it’s the Holy Spirit).  I realize Mark will take the first left past the cul-de-sac and it goes straight down the mountain to the bottom– it will be very dangerous and very quick.

As I’m trying to figure out where and how to serve others, I’m looking around where we are and I notice several things. It is nighttime and there are dozens of cars parked in this place. It’s like a drop off place where they leave their cars when they go on ministry trips. They are anxious to get on the road, so they quickly leave their cars to get on the road. They are very nice cars. I see inside one of them and there is what appears to be a thick computer cable running from between the seats into the empty passenger seat and it’s a big connection – similar to, but bigger than a parallel port, but there is no computer to connect it to – it is missing.  These that travel are making good money, but taking HUGE risks. I’m wondering why they’re not worried about theft of their cars – they don’t seem concerned at all that something may be stolen out of them or that the cars themselves will be stolen.

We are told again to choose to serve somewhere. I’m looking around and there is really nowhere to sit. I do see two cheap lawn chairs that are the kind that are very low to the ground (low beach chairs), but no one wants to sit in them. I’m wondering how I can serve. I let someone know I am going into the hotel to go to the bathroom. <End of dream> 

…I awake from this dream, write it down and go back to sleep and have a continuing dream…(when this happens to me, it’s very important)

The next dream I will title:

“Warn those in Ministry About Dead Man’s Curve”

I am with friends and have knowledge (by God) of what the previous dream means. I am telling my friends that it’s about marriage and those in ministry. I explain that the computer connection in the dream represents a marriage connection and that there is a huge “disconnect” when one spouse goes on long or frequent ministry trips. I have divine revelation from God and repeat in a stern tone, “They’ve abandoned their marriages to pursue the call of God on their life.” (God gave the Words to me in the dream). I could sense His severe displeasure that people were using Him as their excuse.

I have a huge garbage bag full of food – meat and cheese subs. I go in our room at the motel and remember to reach up and put the doorstop at the top of the door so no one walks in (the door stop was a sliding lock that can only happen from the inside). I’m thinking I should go get the key but we really don’t need it to close the door because we can easily lock the door from the inside and we’ll be safe.

One of my girl friends wants me to leave bread behind for the birds. I can tell she is utterly heartbroken and knows others need to be fed this food – they are starving and not being fed. As she throws the bread out of the bag, some food gets on the front silver bumper of someone’s car. I think she should clean it off, but she wanted to sneak away.

The next dream the same night is titled:

Apologize to Your Husband and Give This Message to the Church

In the first dream scene, I have a realization that I need to apologize to my husband.

In the next dream scene, I have a knowing by God that I’m supposed to give this message to the church even though they don’t really want to know. Some want to believe a lie (that it is ok to abandon your spouse to pursue the call of God on your life). 

DETAILED INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM

(There is an abbreviated interpretation at the end – however, I implore you to read the details):

I will simply repost the dream by sections so you know what I am referring to – Scripture references are from the NKJV.

"I was gradually traveling up a mountainside with an old friend named Mark. It was a very long and winding road that gradually went up the mountain. We were told to find a place to serve others, so we had set out on a journey to choose a place. We eventually chose to serve at Dead Man’s Curve. It was at the top of this hill we were ascending (a mountainside). Someone says as they describe that the curve at the top is dead man’s curve, “You can hear the screeching of the wheels”.  "

(Interpretation) The Mountain many people think is the Mountain of Lord and of holiness, in actuality, represents a gradual ascent of prideful thinking – which is also a HUGE mountain or obstacle in your marriage to both, your spouse and to God. The fact it was gradual and we arrived eventually, also reveals our inability to recognize that it’s happening in our hearts – it’s a gradual process and, prayerfully, we will eventually realize it (hopefully NOW). The long road/journey represents long ministry trips and also that it’s been going on in the church for a long time. The fact that we chose where to serve reveals that it was OUR choice, not the Lord’s. We have a free will to choose.

Mark was a friend from 20 years ago that smoked pot/marijuana – I considered him a functioning pothead – he worked, went to college, etc. Smoking pot represents pride and rebellion. It is often a reflection of those who think they are ascending the mountain of the Lord – going “higher” with Him (in favor and spiritual knowledge), but in reality are justifying their actions as a result of pride, reputation (which is pride), a desire to travel, and for the love of money. [1 Timothy 6:9,10: But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. Proverbs 16:25: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. (Emphasis Added) Jeremiah 17:9-11:⁹ “ The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? ¹⁰ I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. ¹¹ “ As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, So is he who gets riches, but not by right; It will leave him in the midst of his days, And at his end he will be a fool.” (Emphasis Added)]

The fact Mark was, in my opinion, a functioning pothead, represents those who have been operating in pride, selfishness and rebellion for a long time – still able to function or minister and speak of “higher learning” spiritually, but nevertheless, in rebellion, mistaken and thinking God’s approval is with them because they continue to get ministry offers. DO NOT MISTAKE GOD’S MERCY FOR GOD’S APPROVAL.

Dead man’s curve represents the deadly sin (according to what was told to me in the dream - meaning the sin of the love of money, which in God’s eyes is spiritual adultery/idolatry. It’s a deadly sin because it is sin that brings death of many marriages and ministries.) [Proverbs 16:18: Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall]. The sound of the screeching represents that it’s already in motion and we need to STOP IMMEDIATELY – slam on the brakes - or many will certainly encounter horrible destruction and the detrimental impact it will have will be devastating – emotionally, relationally, in ministry, financially, etc. and it will catch them by surprise and without remedy. [Proverbs 16:18: Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. (Emphasis Added) Proverbs 16:25: There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. (Emphasis Added) Proverbs 18:2: Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility. (Emphasis Added) Proverbs 6:15: Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. (Emphasis Added) Proverbs 29:1: He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. (Emphasis Added).

"I hear the screeching and it’s a horrible, very frightening sound of almost certain disaster ….holding our breath, expecting the final crashing sound."

(Interpretation) Holding our breath, expecting the final crash, “I hear” represents that if we don’t heed this warning NOW, it is certain – we can fully expect that marriages and ministries will come to an end – this is a FINAL warning that many marriages and ministries will become FINAL. One Hebrew word for HEAR means to listen with the intent to OBEY IMMEDIATELY.

"When we get to the top of the hill where dead man’s curve takes a severe bank to the right, it’s a hairpin turn that turns into a cul-de-sac and there is a cheap motel there on the left side of the cul-de-sac. The motel is like a Motel 6."

(Interpretation) I realized people are having a “mountain top experience”…meaning a place in their life they thoroughly enjoy – but it is incredibly dangerous and we are taking big risks.

Hairpin has to do with the way we are thinking (hair often represents thoughts – it comes from your head). Hairpins also help fix the hair or keep it or help it to stay in place. We need to correct our thinking and FIX our thoughts and keep our heart with all diligence and stay with our spouse – whether at home or when traveling – so we don’t have marital issues. [Proverbs 4:24 - Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.] A hairpin turn is also a severe change in the opposite direction, which represents REPENTANCE.

Severe bank is a word play representing people doing ministry in order to put money in the bank – either for need (severe money issues) or greed...both, having the motive being the love of money [1 Timothy 6:9, 10: But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10) For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows].

Cul-de-sac represents an opportunity to turn around (repent – a cul-de-sac allows you turn around) or you will reach a dead end…a path that leads to nowhere. [Proverbs 16:25: There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death. (Emphasis Added) ].

The cheap hotel was like a motel 6 = 6 represents the number of man (his ways and thoughts as opposed to God’s) and also labor…working. We are not valuing (cheapening – cheap motel, cheap lawn chairs) our marriages in the name of ministry, not willing to pay the price of sacrifice and humility (being seated low) for a better marriage. 

"Mark decides not to go where we were asked to go because he wants to continue on going the way he was going (I am with someone else now, not Mark – it’s the Holy Spirit).  I realize Mark will take the first left past the cul-de-sac instead of going right and I see that it goes straight down the mountain to the bottom– it will be very dangerous and very quick."

(Interpretation) Mark represents rebellion and pride. Some will decide, as Mark did, to continue down the road they’re on (not changing their mind) and it will not be right (he took a left turn) [Ecclesiastes 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left]. Also, left reveals that one has left the will of God and not done what is right in the eyes of God. The fact I was now with the Holy Spirit reveals I, like you, can choose to turn back to God and repent and be in right standing with Him again. I knew Mark was going to go straight down to the bottom of the mountain. This represents many will hit bottom and experience loss [Proverbs 16:18: Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.] [Jeremiah 17:9-11:⁹ “ The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? ¹⁰ I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. ¹¹ “ As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, So is he who gets riches, but not by right; It will leave him in the midst of his days, And at his end he will be a fool.” (Emphasis Added) ]. 

Being at the bottom of the mountain also represents losing favor with the Lord – the mountain, this time, representing the Lord and holiness. Also, lowliness represents humility…some will have to be utterly humbled because they have elevated themselves, (their reputation, their desires and love of money and travel) and walked in pride – it was not the Lord and the Lord must resist the proud [James 4:6/1 Peter 5:5: God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble]. 

"As I’m trying to figure out where and how to serve others, I’m looking around where we are and I notice several things. It is nighttime and there are dozens of cars parked in this place. It’s like a drop off place where they leave their cars when they go on ministry trips. They are anxious to get on the road, so they quickly leave their cars to get on the road. They are very nice cars." 

(Interpretation) Nighttime represents time is running out – not much time left to respond/repent. It also represents a lack of light, light representing God and the truth. Dozens of cars represent the marriages and ministries of many. Also, a dozen is 12 (twelve)– 12 representing those in leadership or authority and also those who are supposed to be disciples of Christ. Remember, one of the original disciples had the love of money also – it was a deadly sin for him, too.

Anxious to get on the road quickly reveals the motive of wanting to travel and get away, not giving it much thought – only concerned about their own opinions and desires. They have very good marriages but are putting them in severe risk – abandoning them (the cars) while they travel…their spouse feels empty, abandoned and lonely.

"I see inside one of them and there is what appears to be a thick computer cable running from between the seats into the empty passenger seat and it’s a big connection – similar to, but bigger than a parallel port, but there is no computer to connect it to – no connection – it is missing."  

(Interpretation) The Lord let me see what is happening INSIDE of marriages (inside the car). The computer cable between the seats means that the traveling is “coming between” them and there is a HUGE disconnect in the marriage because the remaining spouse is lonely and feeling abandoned and missing their spouse when they go on long trips without them or when they travel all the time – leaving them at home to deal with everything by themselves. The abandoned spouse feels very empty and they are vulnerable. satan (intentionally not capitalized) will take advantage of this situation and he comes to steal, kill and destroy [John 10:10: The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.] 

“Similar to” and “Parallel” represents that this dream is a simile (a similitude…this IS LIKE that) or a Parable of what will affect many if they don’t heed the warning.

"These that travel are making good money, but taking HUGE risks. I’m wondering why they’re not worried about theft of their cars – they don’t seem concerned at all that something may be stolen out of them or that the cars themselves will be stolen."

(Interpretation) People are traveling to do ministry for the love of travel, reputation, and for the love of money (all are pride). Money in this dream not only represents literal money, but also favor, which is what money in dreams usually represents – favor is preferential treatment, high regard, or to receive credit or approval. Favor from man is not necessarily a sign you have favor from God. Those traveling are taking HUGE risks, not only with their marriages, but also with the call of God on their life – their ministry because they are not being found trustworthy with what they’ve been given. [Luke 16:11 - ¹¹ Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? John 10:10: The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.]

"We are told again to choose to serve somewhere. I’m looking around and there is really nowhere to sit. I do see two cheap lawn chairs that are the kind that are very low to the ground (low beach chairs), but no one wants to sit in them." 

(Interpretation) I realize that the wording “choose where to serve” represents we have a free will to choose where we minister, but it is not always a Godly-led decision even though we think it is and we are serving others & serving the church. I also feel it is an invitation to choose this day whom you will serve – your own desires or to heed the warning of God and serve Him alone. Be as Joshua and choose to serve God alone and not mammon – the love of money – which is an idol, which is the adultery God is speaking of – adultery/idolatry [Joshua 24:14-15 - ¹⁴ “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD! ¹⁵ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”]

The two cheap lawn chairs represent humility…choosing a lower opinion of ourselves and making less money or having less favor from man, if necessary. [Romans 12:16 ¹⁶ Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.] The two chairs represent humbling yourself in the marriage – taking a low position, being lowly in your own opinion and having the same mind as your spouse – preferring one another. We are treating our marriage as though it is of not much value (cheap) and we are abandoning them (choosing to leave and not stay with their spouse). The fact they were beach chairs that go on the sand, represents time (the sands of time)…it reveals this abandonment has been going on for a long time in the church. 

"I’m wondering how I can serve. I let someone know I am going into the motel to go to the bathroom."

(Interpretation) Again, the motel was like a Motel 6. The number 6 often represents man’s ways or thoughts and/or work or labor. Bathrooms often represent needing to deal with a private or personal issue. I knew that one of the ways God wants me to serve is to serve this message to the church about our role at work and how it affects our marriages.

The next dream...

“Warn Those in Ministry About Dead Man’s Curve”

"I am with friends and have knowledge (by God) of what the previous dream means. I am telling my friends that it’s about marriage and those in ministry. I explain that the computer connection in the dream represents a marriage connection and that there is a huge “disconnect” when one spouse goes on long or frequent ministry trips."

(INTERPRETATION) This was simply confirmation of the meaning of the dream from God. Self-evident.

"I have divine revelation from God and repeat in a stern tone, “They’ve abandoned their marriages to pursue the call of God on their life.” (God specifically gave me those words to use). I could sense His severe displeasure that people were using Him as their excuse."

(Interpretation) This is serious. Those words were specifically chosen by God and I could feel His hot displeasure that people were attributing Him as the reason they were neglecting and abandoning their marriages for the love of money, pride and travel and not owning up to the real motive of their heart. I was shocked when I was telling this to my friends in the dream because I realized many thought they were doing God a favor and that what they were doing was completely fine. When we attribute our traveling on long or frequent trips without them, our spouses not only feel abandoned by us, but also by God because we tell them we’re doing it for Him. It gives them – seemingly - no legitimate reason to be upset and they are wondering why God doesn’t care about them or their marriage. Why would a God who created the sanctity of marriage ask us to do something that would destroy it? He wouldn’t. 

"I have a huge garbage bag full of food – meat and cheese subs."

(Interpretation) The message God has given me to give is HUGE. It is spiritual meat to be meditated upon (meat = substance, significance, cheese = meditation; subs = below the surface of our heart, our motives; bread = manna from heaven, which is instruction or knowledge from God). It was a “hefty” garbage bag – very strong, which reveals this message is a very strong or “hefty” message, but will nourish your life if you let it. 

"I go in our room at the motel and remember to reach up and put the doorstop at the top of the door so no one walks in (the door stop was a sliding lock that can only happen from the inside). I’m thinking I should go get the key but we really don’t need it to close the door because we can easily lock the door from the inside and we’ll be safe."

(Interpretation) We need to make our marriages THE TOP PRIORITY and reach up to God and put a stop to this traveling without our spouse and guard our hearts against the love of money and the pride of gaining a reputation.  The KEY is simple - to put your marriage AS A TOP priority and STOP traveling without them in order to close the door to the enemy or he will come in to steal, kill and destroy you and your marriage!  The change that needs to happen is WITHIN …US…within our own way of thinking and the choices WE are making.

"One of my girl friends wants me to leave bread behind for the birds. I can tell she is utterly heartbroken and knows others need to be fed this food – they are starving and not being fed. As she throws the bread out of the bag, some food gets on the front silver bumper of someone’s car. I think she should clean it off, but she wanted to sneak away."

(Interpretation) Leaving bread for the birds, means leaving a message for people who are to spread this message (bread = spiritual food; birds = messengers). And…that the message is: traveling without our spouse on long or frequently trips is “for the birds”…an idiom that means “it’s not worth it”.

The front bumper is the immediate future and silver usually means understanding and/or redemption. God wants to give you understanding and redeem your marriages going forward (front bumper – immediate future). Leaving the food on the bumper and needing to clean it off, but sneaking away represents those that are leaving a mess at home and just want to sneak off and not deal with the mess or the issues, leaving the spouse to have to take care of everything. It also represent that the spouse left at home is left with only crumbs…what is leftover, not your first or best.

My girlfriend in the dream represents suffering a divorce that may have been a result of a severe disconnect. She is a great example of those that are listening to the lie that it’s ok to pursue the call of God at the expense of your marriage – many think the end justifies the means. She had a Christian leader advise her to pursue the call of God on her life and encouraged her that her husband would keep her from it, instead of encouraging her to try and reconcile. She lost so much – including the amazing favor she once had in ministry. I realize the next verse I’m about to quote, in its proper context, is speaking of the end time when satan returns as the anti-Christ, but I felt in my spirit it also applies to this message. [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12: ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (Emphasis Added) )

Even if there are legitimate grounds for divorce, remember scripture says – Jesus speaking about marriage and in response to the Pharisees concerning divorce: Matthew 19:6-8 ⁶ So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.” ⁷ They (the Pharisees) said to Him, (Jesus) “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” ⁸ He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. 

I implore you, do not harden your hearts as in the day of rebellion. [Psalm 95:8, Hebrews 3:8, 3:15, 4:7]

Next Dream...

Apologize and Give the Message to the Church.

"In the first dream scene, I have a realization that I need to apologize to my husband."

(Interpretation) This is obvious…WE NEED TO REPENT, not only to our literal spouse, but to God also (for He is also our “husband”) and we need to clean out our hearts of hidden motives! Some of you are thinking you only need to apologize to God, but you MUST also apologize and acknowledge your sin to your spouse in order to bring healing. Humble yourself and confess your sins one to another. [James 5:16 - Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.]

The morning I awoke from this dream, I knew I had to apologize to my husband. I’ve always had the full support of my husband concerning traveling in ministry. I did not do anything without him being on board and getting his approval, so it was a surprise to me that I had committed this sin. God showed me that much happens below the surface in the inner parts of the heart and sometimes it’s slow and gradual (the mountain road) but it’s a sure disconnect that happens. Just because the spouse agrees or supports you on it doesn’t make it a good or a God idea – God was showing me the opportunity the enemy has to destroy marriages this way. The spouse feels abandoned, forgotten, and alienated from your life – and sometimes even jealous that you get to travel – and many times all without knowing that’s what’s beginning to happen in their heart. They are left dealing with the reality of day-to-day responsibilities when often they would also like to have the opportunity to travel and get away from it all and also to simply have quality time with you. And satan is lurking about waiting for just the right opportunity…he get’s into our thoughts and puts the wrong people in the right place and the most vulnerable moments. [1 Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.]

I explained to my husband the gravity of what I had done and how God said it was adultery – I really think that brought a lot of healing to my husband because he could see God was not only FOR HIM, but was also for our marriage and that I was obeying God and putting our marriage first. So much healing comes when we simply see something from someone else’s perspective.

We have to fully understand that God created marriage and it is the most holy and sacred union on earth and If we are truly putting God first, then our marriages will come first on the earth. He will not ask you to forsake one bride (or groom) for another (His)…that is spiritual adultery. You, being a Christian leader, represent Him and you are not a good example for Him if you are doing this. He doesn’t contradict Himself or His nature. Your marriage is a blueprint for your marriage to Him. If you are forsaking your spouse, I promise you, you are also forsaking God. How you treat your marriage is how you treat God. How you listen to your spouse is how you listen to God. You cannot say, “God wants me to neglect my marriage/my spouse to serve Him” – and that is precisely what we are saying to not only our spouse, but also the entire world watching, when we “pursue the call of God on our life” at the expense of our marriage.

"In the next dream scene, I have a knowing that I’m supposed to give this message to the church even though they don’t really want to know. Some want to believe a lie (that it is ok to abandon your spouse to pursue the call of God on your life)."

(Interpretation) Interpretation is obvious…After much thought, meditation and prayer, here’s the message I was supposed to give even though many of you will mock this message and not heed its warnings. It IS NOT OK TO ABANDON YOUR SPOUSE TO PURSUE THE CALL OF GOD ON YOUR LIFE!!!! PERIOD.  

Some will continue doing what they are doing because they WANT to believe a lie – they do not love the truth. [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 - ⁹ The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, ¹⁰ and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, ¹² that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (Emphasis mine) ]

The most incredible news is that God is so loving and merciful, He has been patient with us for so long and it is His mercy that we have received a warning that gives us the ability to make things right with Him and with our spouse. We have an opportunity to humble ourselves so the Lord can act on our behalf. We have an opportunity to close the door to the enemy and prevent the destruction of our marriages and our ministries.  

The question before you now is….will you?

I humbly ask you to search your heart and ask God to reveal the true motives of your heart and show you the heart of your spouse. Ask for His mercy and forgiveness while it may be found.

I have received a couple of subsequent dreams showing me people that were totally and utterly incinerated (those who are IN SIN-erator) beyond recognition (beyond ever being recognized publicly again – there was absolutely no recourse – total and utter destruction) because of pride…they refused to heed a warning. It was gruesome.  Don’t be one of them. You have been lovingly warned, so now you are accountable. Please take this seriously. 

As a church, one way we can help ministers and their marriages, is to stop inviting them to minister to us without their spouse. Either help by paying for their spouse to join them or find one of a million people amongst you to minister – there are many on the sidelines that we are overlooking that are incredibly anointed and called of God to minister. When we invite ministers to come without their spouse or to go on long trips, we are also contributing to inviting satan to destroy their life and I feel we will be held partially accountable. 

As a side note, I found the lyrics to both, “Dead Man’s Curve” by Jan & Dean and also “The Long and Winding Road” by Lennon/McCartney to be interesting. I've posted them below.

It is my sincere desire to see God restore your marriage above and beyond all you can ask or imagine. Even if you have a good marriage, I believe God is saying it can be so much better than you ever realized. He wants to bless it and see it prosper. I also pray that for each of you that heed this warning, God will richly reward you in tangible ways more than you could ever dream of. I pray God surprises you with His love and overwhelms you with His kindness.

For those who choose not to heed this warning, I simply pray to God for mercy for you because I have seen a glimpse of what is to come. May you change your mind and find true riches.

Ezekiel 3:19-21

¹⁹ Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
²⁰ “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. ²¹ Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”

Above & Beyond

ABBREVIATED INTERPRETATION: I understood that people were choosing the love money over their marriage and that they felt justified traveling on long and/or frequent ministry trips without their spouse, feeling as though it was working for God and fulfilling the call of God on their life. I also had understanding that God would never ask you to abandon your spouse for His and that the Bride of Christ is not God Himself, yet people think if they are serving the church, it is as though it’s God Himself. The Bride of Christ IS NOT CHRIST. It is not His nature to ask you to leave one bride (or husband) to serve another bride ~ that is spiritual adultery/idolatry and it is a deadly sin (meaning it’s a sin that brings death to marriages and ministries) that many have fallen into thinking God is blessing them to do so, when the real motive of their heart is to earn money, reputation and to travel. They think because they are receiving offers to minister and financially prospering, that it is a sign that it’s the Lord’s approval and they are sadly mistaken. If they continue to go down the road they’re on, many will lose their marriages and their ministries and they need to stop traveling without their spouse on long or frequent trips and close that door of opportunity for the enemy to come in and destroy their marriage. Their spouses are lonely and feel disconnected and satan will take advantage of that. Many reading this will choose to ignore the message and your marriages will fail and worse…YOU will be convicted of spiritual adultery/idolatry for abandoning your spouse and the true call of God for your life (for the love of travel, reputation and of money) …and all in the name of God and your path will lead to destruction.

LYRICS TO DEAD MAN'S CURVE (y Jan & Dean)

I was cruisin' in my Stingray late one night
When an XKE pulled up on the right
And rolled down the window of his shiny new Jag
And challenged me then and there to a drag
I said, "You're on, buddy, my mill's runnin' fine
Let's come off the line now, at Sunset and Vine
But I'll throw you one better if you've got the nerve
Let's race all the way
To Dead Man's Curve"
