Trash or Treasure
The Dream
A very prestigious company hired me for a position, in which people had to be of a certain ranking and position for mere consideration — so not many people became employees without referrals.
“For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37:10-11
I did not have anyone to refer me, instead, I had to go through a rigorous process to get on the list of applicants.
“And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.” Matthew 19:29-30
Background checks and reference must be excellent for this company and not one flaw could appear on a person’s record. This was a very important company and I felt blessed to receive the job.
“And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:20-21
“Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of The LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of The LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of The LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David. And he set the porters at the gates of the house of The LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.” 2 Chronicles 23:18-19
“The word that came to Jeremiah from The LORD, saying, Stand in the gate of The LORD’S house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of The LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship The LORD. Thus saith The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.” Jeremiah 7:1-3
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:13-15
“And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Matthew 7:23-25
Once I passed all the checks and balances, the company brought me on as an employee.
“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” Daniel 11:32
Upon reporting to work, I met with the CEO of the company. He began to show what my job included.
“Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.” Proverbs 25:6-7
As it turned out, the job was a janitorial position that entailed doing deep cleaning of the company’s buildings.
“Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted.” James 1:9
The CEO of the company introduced me to the equipment that must be used for the job. I had never seen such highly sophisticated industrial equipment.
“For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth.” Psalm 26:3
“Yet The LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.” Psalm 42:8
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” Jeremiah 31:3
Upon glancing at the equipment, I thought surely one must have an engineering degree to operate such machines.
“Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.” Jeremiah 32:17
“Behold, I am The LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:27
I felt like I was in a Dream within a Dream — where the plot did not unfold.
“And Elisha said, As The LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of The LORD came upon him. And he said, Thus saith The LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. For thus saith The LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.” 2 Kings 3:14-17
These machines were huge and highly technical. I did not know the first thing about running such mechanical devices.
“And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.”” Mark 4:10-11
A female whom I went to High School with, was in this Dream and worked at this company.
“And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.” Luke 10:5-7
She was a person who had a competitive spirit and went beyond normal rankings in everything, to excel above others. However, at this company we both had the same job.
“And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19
The female was employed at the company long enough to know and understand her craft. She knew every machine’s function and what trash solution to use for every job. She worked very fast.
“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3:2-5
She was responsible for providing on the job training, but did not want me to excel in my job, or be equal to her position. She faked an injury and the boss placed her on light duty.
“And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?” Jeremiah 7:15-17
“Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; and to you who are troubled rest with us, when The LORD Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,” 2 Thessalonians 1:5-7
By this person’s bad-deeds, I had to take up the slack for her and do my own work. This woman did very poor training, yet I was expected to do excellent work.
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?” Romans 8:31
Then she started back tracking my work looking over my shoulders and inspecting everything I did.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” Revelation 12:10
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But he heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3:3-7
I had so much work to do and not a clue of how to get it all done. I pushed a pile of trash together, left it and went to the other side of the building.
Even though it was impossible to get all the work done, I wanted to show I was making progress.
“So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.” Matthew 13:27-30
“Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 22:9-13
“Then saith he to his servants, The Wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 22:8-13
Understanding
Note: The huge machines represent the Word of God, its power and authority over the rulers of darkness, and its debilitating effects on evil.
God’s Word takes a backseat to nothing; it is compelling, drives winds of change, and sets the stage for Christ return.
Through Dreams, The LORD shows us how events walk out in the spirit. In Dreams, God shows us the enemy’s hands and footsteps. He shows us open doors that need closing and how to lock doors that give passageway to evil.
In Dreams, The LORD shows us how to walk back from sin to a place of redemption . Dreams give us a clearer picture of this world and the next.
Listen to The LORD however He decides to speak.
And The LORD says:
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 13:44-50
“I AM moving so many people to the back of the line, because they have refused the trash detail.
I AM putting them in backward positions and they are wondering how they lost their fame.
I AM calling My honorable servants to the front lines — those who have obeyed and suffered lost.
Tragedy comes when people do not understand the “Treasure in Trash”. Every lost soul is a tragedy.
Worldly living is temporary. Beautiful houses will come down, bank accounts will dissolve, and a man’s worth will only be in his soul.
A drunkard or homeless person is valuable as a King; with the soul, there is no difference.
I hear this statement so often, “I don’t want to be bothered”. This situation is the worst tragedy of all daughter. Children tackle problems as if they were treasures.
Guard your heart with all diligence for out of the heart flows the issues of life.
Seldom will a man look or be willing to go into a flaming fire to look for Treasures. His thoughts are replaceable things; this or that is replaceable.
Men fail to realize that some things are not replaceable. A soul cannot be duplicated. A soul does not have nine lives.
Go into the fire and flames, go into the trash, dig up the Treasure daughter every soul is valuable.”
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
“Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” John 15:14
“For many are called, but few are chosen.” Matthew 22:14
“But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.” Matthew 19:30
Peace Out,
The Blessing of The LORD Be upon You,
Blessings,

Amen
29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.Matt 19:29-30
This is funny in the light of Christmas just passed. I personally don’t know of any people who call themselves Christians who would dream of doing or being part of what this scripture states especially at Christmas. In fact quite the opposite. Most would spit right in your eye if you thought somehow as a true brother or sister in Christ you would come before a blood family member saved or not. Maybe by next Christmas things will have changed to reflect the truth of Gods kingdom instead of the one most have made up. In Gods kingdom Jesus Christ has no beginning or ending. Instead we celebrate Christ in us every day not just one day a year.
Some things to think about the time is short.
Amen
Go into the fire and flames, go into the trash, dig up the Treasure daughter every soul is valuable.
Thank you. I needed this today. I was asking the Lord about a particular situation. This is the answer.
