I was rising up high with raised arms into the sky over waves that appeared icy-like crystal. There was an opening in the sky I went through. I was saying, “Let me rise higher, Lord.” And through this sea-like waves, I went up, up, up and into a special place of those that were as a group of unknown people standing in a circle in a type of upper room or secret place, of a revelatory experience. I was floating above these unknown people, [elders] and then rose higher to yet another level where I saw fewer unknown people standing also in a room shaped like a circle. And here, I was floating above his circle of again of unknown people.
Thoughts On This Dream
Prophetic_Dream_Interpretations:
There is much that I can say about this dream but I seem to have an over enthusiasm to share on it. I read it and one thing to caution yourself about is PRIDE. The way that we are promoted in the Lord’s kingdom is through DEATH of our flesh, self-will and motives. You mentioned NOTHING about death in this dream. These people could have been elders but more-so people in the outer court, the inner court, and then the most Holy of Holies. You could have been in the gates of thanksgiving and then the courts of praise. The unknown people could also been the sea of humanity meaning the nations, kindreds and tongues. However, you did not mention the multi-colors that come with this revelation. Aren’t you in the apostolic? If you are, then yes we get called and summoned to HIGH things but with this one beware of PRIDE. Blessings.
Response To The Interpretation
Blessings, and thank you for the interpretation. I will take it to prayer. One of the prayers written in in my dream journal is from the Book of Revelation, chapter and verse one, where it is written, “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”
“Come up here” is a door of prophetic revelation. The Apostle John, beloved of the Lord Jesus used to rest his head on the Lord’s bosom. (John 13:23-25) In this spiritually intimate position, resting our head upon Jesus’ chest and ultimately hearing His heartbeat is a place to draw closer to Him in the secret place. May we all desire to run into His arms and place our head down upon His chest and listen! What does the beating of His heart speak? It is my desire that as I learn to listen, my heart will be enlarged by the pure love of Jesus. ALL children of God are summoned to come up CLOSER to the Lord. I desire to know Him more. And this time in history is where now is the time to draw closer to the Lord more than before; a time of open heavens; of His glory being revealed for those willing to sacrifice. In the dream, I was soaring in the Spirit, for I cried out, “Let me rise higher, Lord.” Rising higher in my relationship with Him.
Ezekiel 1:22 “The likeness of the firmament above the heads of living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched over their heads.”
Crystal = purity and transparent of heart
Interestingly, my first name means “God’s Pearl,” middle name means “Pure,” and my last name means “White.” In my name, it is a reminder of a quest for purity and holiness in my life. A pearl is created over time through many irritations, that are essential, therefore, it is one of great price.
In the context of Ezekiel 1:22: Above the creatures was a firmament, the same word used at the expanse God created on the second day and called, “Heaven.” (Genesis 1:6-8) There it separated the waters and above from the waters below, here it separated the creatures from the throne. [Spirit-Filled Life Bible]
Psalm 42:7 “Deep calls to deep at the nose of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and billows have gone over me.”
Water = Spirit. In the dream, the waters were crystal-like clear, so that is a positive symbol to represent the Spirit of God. If the waters were muddy, then it would have represented a haughty spirit.
Job 22:14b “…and He walks above the circle of heaven.”
Circle possibly represents eternal; covenant; completeness; favor with God; love and mercy.
Psalm 5:12 “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround [compass; circle] him as with a shield.”
I have gone through an intensive trial and much death to self in the past several years. In fact, last year, [2005] I nearly died from septic shock. I was in the hospital for ten days, and it took a year for me to recover from losing uterus due to endometriosis. I was in physical pain during recover for a long period of time. The first day home, while sitting in bed, the Lord gave me a vision. I saw an eagle. The eagle shed a tear. I reached out with cupped hands and took the eagles tear and drank. I understand that reflected my wiliness to embrace His cup of suffering. However, I am now in the season of restoration and have personally seen the Lord beginning this summer, bless me both spiritually and financially. I know more is to come and that these are memorial stones of remembrances to document and thank Him for all that He has done, for He is an awesome God and greatly to be praised. I am thankful that He has so much mercy on this humble servant. I don’t see myself as an apostle, just as simply, “Rita,” the Lord’s friend. In Jesus Love. Be continually blessed! Prophetic_Dream_Interpretations Sister Rita, I have not had enough time to come to a full interpretation on this dream, but I wanted to share confirmation with you. I am a partner of Kim Clement’s ministry and receive occasional partner emails. Tonight I received one and when I saw just the first part and scripture reference I knew I needed to forward this to you, glory to God! This just really confirms to me once again your call into office. Exodus 17:8-16 New King James Version (NKJV) Victory over the Amalekites 8 Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. 9 And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” 10 So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. 11 And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12 But Moses’ hands became[a]heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13 So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” 15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, [b]The-Lord-Is-My-Banner; 16 for he said, “Because [c]the Lord has sworn: the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.” Reflection On Portion Of Scripture There are many who believe that Apostle John when he wrote Revelation Chapter four verse one, that it is a reference to the rapture. However, God is talking to every person and if our hearts are open, we can hear His voice; the door will be opened for us to go to a higher place in our relationship with Him. He can double our vision so that we can see things that will take place after this. We daily must put on the full armor of God, because the enemy of our soul will constantly try to slow us down with his attacks. In this day and hour, it is imperative that we continue to walk closely with Him and also realize that He is our rearguard. In the scripture reference in the Book of Exodus, regarding the victory over the Amalekites, we read about the children of Israel being stopped by the Amalekites, who attacked from the rear, their time was wasted with an unnecessary war. God had told Joshua, a mighty man that He would make war with Amalek from generation to generation because they stopped their progress. Our time is precious with Him. We must value the time that we have for if our God takes it seriously, so do we. The Apostle John had to see and hear the voice so that the door would be opened in the heavens in order to rise into a higher place. For his spiritual eyes to be opened, he went through so that he would see further that he did before.
Prophetic_Dream_Interpretations Sister Rita, What I am getting is that you are being drawn into a higher place in your calling. Your vision will be opened and you will experience an even greater depth of revelation; sounds like graduation time! In Him, Sis. CJ __________ Prayer: Father, we thank you for your words to us. We thank you that Your Word never returns void but accomplishes that which it was sent forth to accomplish. We repent and turn from the wickedness of our flesh, we know that we are always a work in progress, and that you are still working on us, molding and shaping us. We are ever so thankful that we now live in the day of grace. We thank You for the gift of Your Son, for His shed blood for the remission of our sins. Thank You that unlike the days of old where men lived and died by the law, You made a permanent sacrifice on our behalf that covers all our sins from the beginning to the end. The Blood of Jesus will never lose its power! ~ Rita Kay Whitt
Additional Thoughts On “Let Me Rise Higher,” Dream In the context of Luke 1:49, whereas the Virgin Mary, a humble vessel made a joyful proclamation, re: the seed of promise, the redeemer coming into the world who would be the voice. If my response was of the prophetic spirit, and a prophet defined as one who is a spiritually mature spokesman “voice” and proclaimer who has a special, and divinely focused message to be given to the church and world, then the scripture of choice would fit within the prophetic. On the other hand, the Lord was also an Apostle, for He was God’s sent one to proclaim the good news. But like the servant Paul who wrote, “I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago – whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows – such a man was caught up to the third heaven [the highest heaven, the presence of God] And I know such a man – whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know. God knows – was caught up into Paradise, and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4) I truly do not know whether I spoke in the Prophetic Spirit, or in the Apostolic Spirit, but this I know, time will reveal all in the Fruits of the Spirit. The Apostle Paul reveals that he received a revelation from God during his experience and noted the importance of being humble as written in 2 Corinthians 12:7. The inference in Revelations 4:1 is that the Apostle John may also have had an out-of-body experience in receiving the Book of Revelation.
