After meeting with a group for fellowship this Wednesday (doesn't really matter what day) I had a couple of dreams. The first described these series of houses joined together, I was made to understand that these houses weren't going to fare to well for something was passing through. The reason being was that in each of the houses there was a little myrrh or mirth I'm not accurate as to which one...
The message today was do not be intoxicated...stay sober, which is fitting for they offered Jesus wine and myrrh on the day the crucified Him and he refused to drink it.
Another place that myrrh is mentioned is in the book we know as Esther. In this book King Ahasuerus has done away with the former king Vashti and hasd made the decision of bringing in fair young virgins to take her place.
Now the bible mentions myrrh and aloes being among the things that are given for the purification of the women were for a whole year this process goes on and the ladies are given pretty much anything they want it is a life of luxury, yet when Esther comes before the king we are told that she required nothin no myrrh, aloes, or the like. Of course Esther is a picture of Christianity, the bride of Christ and the King is a picture of our heavenly Father.

The Santa Clause?
Inspite of the stigma that Santa is really the adverary of God (read Satan) or at best an allegorical representation of Saint Niclaus (pronounced SaintNi 'Klaws) my experience tells me there is something deeper. The idea of someone breaking in as a thief in the night to give a reward is not new, yet I was waiting as something came into my house and showered me with this spiritual pouring, whther throough the chimney or subtly through the back door. we are told to watch and pray. This is just a testiomy of some things that has really happened in my life and as such should be taken as a witness...for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy.
The saying is that he comes as a thief to render to men according to their works, whether good or bad. Now the use of this bug bear on children to get them to behave is not what I am talking about. The traditional Santa claus as we know it is a giver of worldly gifts, lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the pride of life...things on the world not of the father. Im talking about somehing else. I for one I was at home and sitting on my couch when it happened/ I went through a period of serious revelation and made it down the street to the local mall. I stood out side the mall doors, and was lead to just wait. Full of this spiritual annointing and power (The Spirit is truth, and the annointing is truth) this big man with a white beard walks up looking like the traditional Santa and it all just leaves me and goes to him...I was like really?! What just happened did he still my goods, or what? But as soon as he entered into the mall the scriptures came to mind...."And they shall pluck his beard, and a picture of this suffering man with these kids mocking him and plucking his beard came to my mind."
I felt like God used me to impart something spiritual to that man like a tag-team match when one tags off to another to finish the match. It seemed the spirit of Christ had been dealt to me tagged off to him where he would finish the story. Now I went through a number of paradoxes that week and meet a number of characters. There was the man witih the cigar and the hat trying to give me his coins, and the woman with the fiery red hair and the rambuctious red head children running around, among others like out of a fairy tale to be echoed throughout eternity.
But the main point of this post is to reiterate the fact that Jesus' title has many "clauses"; they include the son of God, the messiah, the Christ, Emmanuel, and now I'm convinced there is a Santa clause, where he plays the role of the thief who gives good gifts to the children but is persecuted by the world trying to abuse his love.
To us he comes into our homes and we are waiting for Him, but to the world he is a mythical figure who is constantly misused and misinterpreted. I'm not validating the pagan holiday of christmas or saying that Santa Clause is godly, but in an attempt to know our Lord I say that the father gives good gifts to his children, yet it took a son (Jesus Christ) to allow Him to come to us and us to Him that many don't realize. HE wants to know us as a father knows his children.
Is Santa Claus real? No, but God's Santa clause as that of the persecuted giver of good gifts to His children still holds true.

Workin'
This dream had me at work (Chik-fil-A) and taking an order from a customer. She was hard to understand and I only made out certain parts of her speech. I heard the words "water" and said sure you can have some water. When leaning in to try to understand her, I simply couldn't, but she gave me this look...she lefted up one eyebrow and gave me this "eye" look....huh. Oh well the only thing I heard was I need water...Maybe this is my new focus on my job.
Rev 22: 17And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely...
