On Sunday afternoon (2018-04-15) papa Dexter Low was leading praying for Todd and Rachel Weatherly (Founding Leaders) at Field of Dreams Church .
I handed Dexter a bottle of anointing oil which he used on Todd and Rachel. The oil was from Bethlehem Israel and scented with frankincense, we had brought it home from our last trip to Israel.
As papa Dexter was praying the Holy Spirit reminded me of the significance of this particular oil and what it meant for Todd, Rachel, and Field of Dreams Church.
First, frankincense is symbolic of things royal, holy, kingly and priestly. This represents, in part, the calling on Todd and Rachel, also the purpose for the City of Dreams vision. There is a huge push forward for the Kingdom of God as the body of Christ comes together in the city. This push will see captive and bound people set free as they come into the power of salvation in Christ.
The release of the captives brings them into a royal, holy, and righteous place where the most downtrodden is lift to a place of honour.
Secondly, Bethlehem (Beit Lechem בֵּית לֶחֶם – House of Bread) is the more significant point of this word.
There was a great sense that City of Dreams was to be a House of Bread and that bread is the Bread of Life (Yeshua) .
John 6:35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”
There will be an abundance of bread to be given freely to those in need under a Joseph anointing of provision in a time of famine. People will come to the Lord’s house to receive abundantly and then go out again to provide to others. This is both a spiritual and physical provision. The Lord is calling people to the House of Bread to release and distribute the Bread of Life to the city, nation and the nations.
Isaiah 55:1 Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.
The bread and drink the Lord is providing meets the deep longing people are crying out for; it truly satisfies and is without price.
City of Dreams is a house of bread, a place to eat and drink freely of all the Lord has to give; and then to release this blessing to all in need.
