The Cave

The Lord gave me a vision in which I saw my brother Pastor James, myself and a few others who were in a dark cave together. This cave was rocky and had a stream of water running through it as a creek would. We were each sitting on a light that I knew was our Matthew 25 wise-virgin lamps with oil in them. We were happy and content because we were confident that we were in the right place.

Matthew 25:1-13: "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom...the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps...While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 

"And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. ...And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves."

And they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh."

The Meat

I dreamed that Pastor James and some neighbors were at my house. It was cloudy outside and we were all sitting around my picnic table on the side of my house. Pastor James was serving us these huge steaks. These were the biggest, most tender steaks that I have ever seen. My steak had a small bone in it so I removed it with ease. It was very easy to remove because the steak was so tender.

I didn't know Pastor James often uses this phrase in his preaching, until after I had shared this dream with him. He tells people when it comes to revival and walking with God's revivalists you have to "Eat the meat and spit out the bones." We have to eat the meat of the Word of the Lord and spit out the bones which is symbolic of their flawed human weakness.

These Scriptures confirm that those whom the strong meat belongs to are those that are of full age and who are able to discern good and evil.

Hebrews 5: 12-14: "When for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil."

Also, the following Scripture confirms and affirms the servants who serve the meat:

Matthew 24:44-47: "Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods."
