Awakened and Aligned

There before us was a fork in the dirt road. One path went off to the left and one to the right. In the very center of this fork, where the two roads converged, there was a massive tree that was almost as wide as it was high…it looked more like a mountain than it did a tree. This tree is what the marker was perfectly aligned with. The tree was dead and gray. It had no limbs, no branches. There where spires sticking up where the branches used to be. The structure was cold and lifeless. As my eyes travelled up the tree, I squinted to see what was near the very top. Then, it came into focus…it was a single, dark, wooden arched door, embedded in the tree. It seemed so out of place on this edifice. The next thing I knew, this pastor’s son and I were ascending this gigantic tree, much like scaling the side of a mountain. He was a little way in front of me as we climbed in pursuit of the door.

Then I felt myself coming out of the dream. As I began to wake up, I heard the word “Canterbury”.

Much of the meaning in the symbolism of the dream was immediately clear to me, but my anticipation was great to see what revelation Holy Spirit wanted to show me as I researched the word, “Canterbury”. Not only did my research complete and confirm the message of the dream but added a depth of awareness and sobriety to the message the Lord has for His Church to awaken to Himself in this hour. His love is pleading…imploring.
