I had a dream last night of walking into this office full of nice wood desks varnished with a mahogany stain and an office desk I.D. with the name Sgt. Penner on it.
I don't know what it means but i know the Holy Spirit gave it to me.
I'm asking fellow Christians to join me and pray for Sgt. Penner. Please pray with me siblings. Maybe he is with Q i don't know.
The Holy Spirit has told me nothing more than pray for him so please brethren and sisters:
I pray Father, you bless and keep Sgt. Penner for whatever purposes You have for him and his family and co-workers. Protect him and show him the Way which is Jesus Christ to do what's best for whatever country he serves for. In Jesus name amen.
(Sidenote: my dog is in surgery today and she's my fur baby and I've had her 12 years since she was a puppy. Please pray she survives it; she's older and i know surgeries are hard on older dogs. Please keep my baby safe, Father. )
In Jesus name amen.
Dear OP,
It's odd that I would happen on to your post just now but you have connected me to an especially potent combination of mystery and spirituality. I won't bore you with details but I treasure your sharing. Please let me join you in prayer for Sgt. Penn - ER or whoever or whatever is the meaning of the name. The One Eternal knows and that's all that matters. I join with you in lifting up Sar Gent: Penn, ER.
And especially, I want to join you in prayer for your faithful companion. The connection between us and our animal companions is far deeper than we can understand at present. I join with you in lifting up your precious dog-friend.
"Into your hands, Gracious God, we commend the loves of our lives and our whole selves. In all that you do, Sovereign Lord, teach us to love each other as You love us, and to love You even more. Amen."
GBY, and your household! Together, we MAGA!
You would not bore me with details in fact you may edify me so I may have understanding of the dream, friend. You are right, together we truly can MAGA. God bless you in Jesus name too and thank you for the prayers. Amen.
Jtap, I'm readying for work but I'll share with you that the realm of dreams and 'archetypal' images is a matter of fascination to me.
But first and foremost: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND GOD and NO OTHER NAME IS THERE GIVEN AMONG MEN WHEREBY WE MAY BE RECONCILED TO OUR BELOVED HEAVENLY FATHER.
Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell are amazing people to me but I want to make sure that you know that JESUS CHRIST is my ultimate answer.
The mahogany desks (wood) could be references to the Cross. The Holy Spirit 'may' have been telling you that you are 'in touch' (desks can be touched) with something ASTONISHING in the spiritual realm (varnished - polished/refined/precious... mahogany stain: stained by the Blood of The Lamb Of God). You are being touched by something so dear and so precious that mere words cannot convey all that is happening.
Personally, I'm usually diffident about my own interpretation of dreams but I sense that your dream is a matter for TREMENDOUS praise and thanksgiving and not a matter for fear. 'Overwhelming' maybe but overwhelming joy and wonder.
Sgt. Penner? A 'penner' might be one who writes. Perhaps you are touching or being touched or you are in touch with that which is Holy, precious and being written on/by the Cross of Christ. Maybe Sgt. Penner is a literal person and I certainly rejoice in praying with you for our dear Sergeant. However, a Sergeant might be a trusted one who is in command of a few. A Sergeant is faithful over a few and may become ruler over many. "The faithful one who writes or shares the message... written in the Blood of Christ... by The Holy Servant who shares..."
You have shared a great treasure with me... no more words right now... hot tears and I have to go to work. Maybe more later.
GBY! HIS KINGDOM COME!
Thank you for your words. You've given much contemplation. I've considered reading Jung believe it or not. Got into objective personality for a while until they became subjective bashing Jesus. They attempted to finish or flesh out jungs work. Unfortunate they've thrown that gift given of God away and slander His Son. Thank you for the dream. For the sake of puffing no one up I won't share all that the Holy Spirit revealed through His interpretation given to you....but rest assured the Holy Ghost spoke in your words. It actually links to a previous secret dream the LORD gave me to not share....but it was BIG. Brother. I thank you and I thank the LORD in Jesus name for you. There's been given much wisdom of the Holy Spirit to contemplate on and await God's BIBLICAL instruction for me.
Praise ye the LORD. PRAISE WE THE LORD. in Jesus name amen.
The Holy Spirit told me a verse:
Matthew 23:16-22
16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18 And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20 Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21 And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
The desk wasn't a desk at all. It was an altar made of wood....
Ezekiel 41:22
The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD
The mahogany was indeed the blood of Jesus Christ. The cross was an altar for Christ to be sacrificed on. This desk was no desk. It was the table before the LORD.
I know not what this means but the Holy Ghost told me,
"The things that are written on this table are sanctified by Me."
There is still so much to comprehend but I believe the Holy Spirit has used to to show me a glimpse of something we are yet allowed to know fully. But I believe you are right. It is precious and it is something Big the LORD is showing us. I pray in Jesus name we may know forget what HE is revealing to us for HIS glory. In Jesus name, amen.
Jtap, on the way to work today I had thoughts that may be meaningless or they may be somehow meaningful to you. But I'm terrified to even speak regarding this realm. I know that the Holy One of God would never misslead you - but I'm always afraid of the sin (confusion) that still lives in me. So, take my well-intended sharing with several grains of salt. I can't believe I'm writing any of this. You and Lord Jesus have put my feet into a 'LARGE' room.
I am VERY appreciative of the 'altar/desk' that is before The Lord. The name that you've seen on the desk is your 'name'.
You are 'Sargeant Penner' and I may not be able to write the rest of this because of the incredible joy. You have been found faithful. Your 'identity' (your very secret self) is known and has been spoken in High Places. The 'desk/altar' - stained by the blood of The Lamb of God - upholds your 'identity' for all of Heaven & eternity to see and know. Yes, of course, there are (many) others upheld in this way that are yet unkown to you. There are MANY souls for you to meet - and many dear souls for you to remember, in the House of our Father.
The events surrounding your beloved doggo are emblematic of your way of living. You are a faithful steward - and you hardly know any other way to live. You are a shepherd, guide and guardian. Your 'name' on the desk says it all.
The Living God in Christ Jesus PLACED your name on the desk/altar. You would NEVER have dared to even hint that you should have your 'identity' known in this way. Such a thing would NEVER have occurred to you. You have this 'identity' and you have this 'placement' because of your trust in HIM and because of the way you follow & serve our Master.
Your dog has been a GREAT blessing to you and YOU have been an even greater blessing to your dog. Even if you have to surrender your dog to eternity, you will see & KNOW your beloved dog (I don't know what form your dog will have) when you step out onto God's bright day.
There is yet MUCH wonderful service in your future IN JESUS NAME. Unknown to you, you are a mighty blessing to many around you. CLING TO JESUS and just be who you are. DO NOT BE AFRAID!! HE is your perfection. Just be you.
There will be INCREDIBLE, INDESCRIBEABLE service when you celebrate the eternal life you are inheriting. No, Heaven/Eternity will NOT be boring for you. You have already been 'identified' to be the steward over MANY things that I cannot even begin to describe for you. In fact, you have already started your eternal life and serving Him seems as natural to you as your next breaths.
Breathe deep, dear Jtap. Thank you for this incredible privilege. All Praise, Honor and Glory forever be to the LAMB who was slain before the foundation of the world. AMEN!
