In this dream, I was putting up some typed Bible-Gospel literature that was on printer paper on poster board on the wall in a specific arrangement with one centered poster board placed high above the rest that were on each side of the centered poster board, sort of like a cross-shape. On another wall were more poster boards with a different topic possibly put up by someone else.
Then the word, "cruciferous" kept popping up; either "cruciferous vegetables" or "cruciferous --" but the word alone "cruciferous" popped up repeatedly. End of dream.
I didn't understand why this word came up but I know of a brother in Messiah who had mentioned his wife having been "supernaturally healed" after almost dying a couple of times; she is now cooking and walking around. Prayers answered! Praise YAH! So I thought maybe that had something to do with it.
So I looked up the word, "cruciferous" and a page appeared with pictures of cruciferous vegetables. I was like, "Does YAH really want me to eat vegetables?" Mind you, I love vegetables, but the emphasis was on these type of "cruciferous" vegetables. I mean, it would be for the benefit of my health and well-being, right? Because sometime after having this dream, I had a relapse in my health which landed me back in the hospital.
These vegetables not only have anti-cancer properties but are also known for their distinct cross-shaped flowers of this particular plant family. Although, I do believe I had heard of this before and thought it was quite interesting. Also, the word, "cruciferous" alone means, "bearing a cross!" How amazing is that?!
Honestly, I had gotten rid of all my graven images because I strongly adhere and strive to guard and keep YHWH's Commandments and this really hit hard. This dream didn't come from my own imagination though. I believe it was given as a reference, pointing to the intertwining of a physical and spiritual connection, which emphasizes the importance of addressing both aspects in our lives in order to achieve a more nurturing and fulfilling life with Almighty YHWH.
Like the words of Yahshua who said, "If anyone wants to follow after Me, let him deny himself, take up his stake [cross] and follow Me." (Matthew 16:24)
We are to follow His example by committing to faith and service to YHWH. This is a daily routine.
A) Self-Denial - Giving up personal desires for the sake of helping others; giving of our time.
(This reminds me of Isaiah 58 which describes the kind of fast that is pleasing to YAH.)
B) Sacrifice - Sacrifice of our time; enduring suffering and hardships (I see 11:11 as I read this part) in our spiritual journey.
C) Commitment to our faith in YHWH. "Bearing the cross" is a deep commitment to truly following the Messiah and embodying His Torah teachings.
Brothers and sisters, these descriptions are sacrifices we should all be striving to do in our spiritual journey. This is truly walking on the narrow path. We need to stay focused and remain faithful as we continue to persevere, enduring until the end. HalleluYAH!
