Dear Friend, How are you? I’m very well. On December 25th, 2020, I had a few dreams. In one of the dreams, Irene Wong, the Singaporean artist with the prophetic anointing was painting in my room. I knew she was painting me, and I watched over her painting. In her canvas, she painted one of my eyes. It was so big that it consisted of more than half of the canvas. She painted my eye with brown color, which I thought in the beginning was for my iris. But she painted it with white and the rest of the eye was brown. I liked her creative way of painting my eye, as if the iris was light. When she finally finished painting the very big eye of mine, I was very happy with her artwork and I did like it so much. Then, to my room came a classmate of my high school. She seemed to rent one of the rooms in my house. And I got to know that Irene would paint her in the nude sometime later at night. I was so surprised, as I thought I had never seen Irene paint a nude. And I was made uncomfortable about her painting a nude in my room, without asking me in person before. Then, strangely, Irene measured my body with a ruler in front of the mirror and I giggled, as I felt tickled, when she measured me. I felt it weird for her to measure me while she planned to paint a nude of my classmate. Yet I felt somehow that I could not disapprove her plan to paint it. So, I asked her when exactly she would come again to paint her, as I didn’t want to see the nudity of my classmate, but rather stay in my mom’s room. But she didn’t answer my question and I woke up from the dream. When I was able to recall the dream that Irene painted a very big eye for me, I was glad, thinking the eye would mean seer anointing. And I felt as if I received a Christmas gift from the Lord just on the Christmas. Yet I wanted to check what else eye could mean so that I looked up James Goll’s book, Dream Language and found out it symbolizes omniscience, knowledge, sight, insight, foresight. Then I was reminded of the dream I had the other night where Neville Johnson shared the hidden truth of Jesus with me in person. But I could not recall what it was, or I think it was concealed in the dream. Keeping the symbolic meaning of the eye in mind, I tried to interpret the eye dream. When I thought of my classmate in my high school in that dream, I became very surprised to see her. It’s been decades to see her even in my dream, since my graduation of high school. We were not close to one another. She didn’t seem to have many friends or even a close friend. She was an introvert and she was not a good student in terms of performance. She was regarded as kind of low intelligent, though my friends and I never verbally said that. But I had an impression that she was not smart enough to follow all the classes in high school. And she was not good-looking at all, objectively speaking. Sometimes, I had difficulty in trying to understand what she was saying, as her pronunciation was not clear. I was never mean to her, but I was not close to her, neither. So, it was very unexpected to see her in my dream, as I think I’ve never thought of her since the graduation of high school. Yet, the longer I chewed on the dream, the more certain I felt the Lord must have something to teach me using the symbolic meaning of this classmate. And I also learned that it’s not always quick and easy to interpret dreams. Sometimes it would take days and I think Neville Johnson said it took years for him to interpret one of his dreams. So, I thought I would not be discouraged, even if I would not be able to interpret it any time soon. But rather, I would keep chewing on it till I make sense of it. Graciously enough, now I was able to understand what it would mean, with the Scriptures from Job 42:1~6. Then Job answered the Lord and said: “I know that You can do everything, And that no purpose of Yours can be withheld from You. You asked, ‘Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, Things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. Listen, please, and let me speak; You said, ‘I will question you, and you shall answer Me.’ “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You. Therefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.” When the Lord gives us eyes to see, i.e. knowledge, insight from Him, I think we realize how little we know. We think we know it all. But Job realized he uttered what he didn’t understand, and he felt he loathe himself, when he got to see the Lord. I felt Irene in my dream might symbolize the Holy Spirit. And He was actually painting my nudity, measuring my body, but the model was someone who I thought is retarded and not pretty. When the Lord reveals Himself and I get to see Him, I only realize how ignorant and how ugly I was, yet I thought I knew it all. A few days after the dream, I read a Walter Beuttler’s book, “The Manifest Presence of God: My Spiritual Journey.” While reading it, I felt the Lord confirmed His message on the dream through his writings, with the Scripture from Matthew 11:25: At that time Jesus answered and said, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.” But there are people who think they know everything. The fact is that they know so little; they don’t know enough to know that there is more to know. The more you know, the more you know how little you know in comparison to what there is still to be known. The more we enlarge the circle of our knowledge, the more we enlarge the awareness of how much there still is that we do not know. Here we have the conceited, the snobs, the know-it-alls, the unteachable, the critics, and the Lord says, “All right Father, I thank you that you have hid these truths from the snobs.” Now people who are uneducated can be snobs too. I don’t think that has anything to do here with education. It has to do with an attitude, a critical, snobbish, know-it-all attitude. “Hast revealed them unto babes.” Who are the babes? I would say the humble, the simple, the open, the responsive, the hungry, the uncritical babes. Beuttler, Walter. The Manifest Presence of God: The Spiritual Journey of Walter Beuttler (pp. 113-115). Deeper Lift Press. Kindle Edition. Later when I read the Genesis, I found it interesting that Satan tempted Eve, saying when her eyes will be opened, she will be like God. Adam and Even were tempted and they wanted to be like God, but they ended up realizing they were naked and feeling ashamed. Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” … Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. (Genesis 3:4~5, 7) Friend, I do not know how many years you have been a Christian or whether you even graduated from seminary. But I pray that you and I remain humble and teachable, no matter how much and how long we were educated. The more we know, the more we realize how little we know. We surrender ourselves to the Omniscient and Faithful Father. May His truth and knowledge open our eyes in Jesus’ name. Have a bliss! Yunee I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; Comments are closed.
