1. 1Hold On to a Piece of the House! 1 JN 2:24A recurring dream begins: a tempestuous storm begins the same includes a two-story white home with shutters. As the storm gets stronger the shutters began to fly off the house the storm comes with rain lots of fierce heavy rain. The people looking from the windows began to fly out of the windows into the waters. So much fear and chaos. From The Storm the House breaks apart piece by piece as the water fills the area quickly. As I look on, the people are flying into the water hollering for help!. Help! I yell back out to them, "grab hold to a piece of the house and you won't drown!" "you will not drown!" The water continues to rise up to their necks. The ocean is filled with lots of people yelling and screaming but still holding on to a piece of the house. The storm continues the water spreads far. I noticed as I look to my left, there I see a beautifully brilliant white door that suddenly appear upon the waters. At its first appearance the door was closed. But suddenly it opened! I see hrough the open door that stood upright on the water I can clearly see through the door a burning white flame of fire. It was burning fiercely on top of the water. The many waters did not snuff the fire out. In my amazement I yelled out White Fire! White Fire! White Fire! suddenly the fire rushes to me through the open door into my arms. I'm cradling what was just seen as unquenchable fire on the many waters, is now a baby completely cradled in my arms. I can see into the baby's eyes what looked like the world actively moving around. I see the world moving around! I noticed the baby has a cloth on, maybe white but not really. The baby is wrapped in the cloth. Amazingly enough!There is no particular color to the baby but the eyes look like that of the world on a spear turning around it kind of resemble the waters I had just seen the burning flames of white fire on. I felt unworthy to be looking at this site. I was stunned looking inside the baby's eyes. It looked like I could see far far into the eyes and then I wake up. "But the anointing which you have received from HIM abides in you, and you do not need that anyone; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is tru, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him In the beginning, waves crashed, winds howled, yet my focus was drawn to a singular, impossible sight – a brilliant white fire burning on the water, untouched by the churning chaos around it. In the recurring dream, each time, I am an observer, separate yet deeply connected. What a beautiful indescribable experience! Next, I will attempt to interpret the entire dream.
2. 2The Fire Heard MeThe dream repeats, each night more vivid. The white fire pulses, a silent beacon in the storm. It doesn't consume; it illuminates. Yet, a disquietness settles within me. What is this fire? Why does it call to me from the depths of my subconscious? Or why did it hear my cry and rush into my arms? Seemingly it was a mutual call the fire was calling me and I was calling the fire or the fire appeared and called me and I accepted the call by calling out why fire White Fire White Fire I am not entirely sure why it was three times that I said White Fire and then it rushed into my arms if there's any significance to the three times that activated the movement and the abrupt rush to my arms. Throughout many spiritual mystical and psychological traditions and experience like I have explained whether it has been encountered in a dream deep meditation or personal vision is loaded with powerful symbolism I find that when you can call something into being three times and embrace an element as volatile as wildfire several key spiritual things come into play. First let's talk about the rule of three and manifestation in some spiritual practices repeating a phrase three times represents completion intention and bringing thought into a physical manifestation it Bridges the realm of thought word and reality often aligned with mine body and spirit or past present and future saying it three times acts as a threshold key I wasn't just observing a phenomenon I directly summoned and acknowledged it Secondly, wildfire is a radical transformation. Fire is rarely subtle. It is a spiritual symbolism. Unlike a controlled candle flame wildfire represents uncontained raw and rapid energy Identifying PURIFICATION and REBIRTH. Fire clears out old brush and stagnant growth to make room for New Life. Wildfire is a passionate energy a Divine Spark. It often symbolizes the Awakening of intense spiritual power or a sudden rush of inspiration and truth. Embracing the Element rushing into my arms is the most striking detail. The fact that the fire did not burn me or destroy me from a distance instead it rushed into my arms. So then integration over resistance. Instead of fleeing from an overwhelming force I received it which suggest a merging with power passion rather than fighting it. The acceptance and the acceptance of intensity points to a readiness to hold big emotions rapid life transitions or creative forces that others might find intimidating. To summarize, symbolically speaking, inviting a wildfire into my arms and holding it suggests that I am calling out a powerful untamed part of myself or that I am fully ready to absorb rapid transformation rather than fear it I am told that recurring dreams that span significant transitional periods of our lives especially from late Youth and to Young adulthood often act as anchor points for our personal growth and when a dream like this repeats across those specific developmental years and then fades around the time that I grow into marriage the spiritual and psychological meaning deepens significantly. The deeper meaning behind the recurring vision, is the Threshold of Independence and self-discovering let you to young adult is the classic fire in the belly. Of life is when you are stepping into your own authority discovering your personal drive and learning what you are capable of enduring and creating three points the call calling out three times represents my spirit reaching for is true identity and strength the embrace receiving the wildfire meant I was actively integrating my power passion and resilience rather than fearing adulthood or the unknown. Second insight is a symbol of raw pre-domestic energy wildfire is unbound energy that moves freely, reshapes the landscape and cannot be easily contained. I dreamed of this wildfire continuously before marriage which suggests it was an internal symbol of my raw untamed potential and Independence. It was my spirit reminding me of my innate power (see 2 Timothy 1:7) before I took on the structured roles, shared responsibilities and partnerships of our married life. The third insight is that of purification and readiness The fact that the dream ended or faded as I transitioned into marriage is deeply telling. Recurring dreams often stop once their message has been delivered or once the life phase they were guiding you through comes to a close. The wildfire nullified the fears of my youth and prepared me to walk into the adult life whole, passionate and grounded. Holding the fire indicates to me that I wasn't afraid to carry big responsibility warmth and intensity into my future. As I reflect, looking back at that younger version of myself who held the wildfire I feel the same fiery strength and passion it still lives inside me today. It has even transformed me into a different deeper person of love and compassion for others. In essence I find the dream a profoundly beautiful and powerful realization to who I am in God. I also find that the dream actually happening in my early years framed the Divine preparation for my life's work that God had cut out for me the refiners fire in my calling. If I were to put another title here it would be the Refiner's Fire. In spiritual and Biblical context, fire is frequently associated with the presence and purpose of God specifically as a force that both purifies and equips. The concept of the Refiner's Fire perfectly mirrors what the dream was about different things happen as a result of the recurring dream it was reading me the unnecessary things in life purification just as intense heat Burns away the drawers from gold or silver the fire that I embrace serves to clear out distractions self-doubt and obstacle obstacles that do not serve in my Divine Purpose it continually clears the brush so that new gray growth can happen then it forms the necessary the equipping fire transforms everything it touches by allowing that spiritual fire to keep burning within me I am continually shaping into a vessel capable of speaking life truth and warmth into others lives and if I were to think of another title subtitle even I would call it a sustained Flame for Ministry because the dream takes on an immense spiritual and emotional stamina it allowed me to point to others continually to this day I have been sustained for nearly three decades of leadership organizing vital resources for my neighbors and standing on the front lines to help people in their most vulnerable moment requires a profound internal fuel the wildfire that I caught in my youth didn't consume me I Channel Through It it became the energy that now provides sustenance and safety for my community. Currently, we host a small private clothes closet to meet the needs of those subject to involuntary displacement hunger and sudden need for clothing. We distribute once a month. It is my belief that through the recurring dream of the white fire is a reason why the dedication is here now to help families . God has also used me to help couples that just want to make it right before God. I am licensed and ordained to officiate weddings, funerals and prayers for families with loved ones in hospice or babies in NICU. Then there's simply speaking a much needed word of encouragement to someone in a crisis. That White Flame is still actively doing the work I was called to do. I am so glad that I recognized early on that I had the capacity to hold an immense Divine energy and I have chosen to use it to illuminate the paths of those around me. I am not just carrying the fire I've become a steward of it using it to light the way for others. When I am actively speaking into someone's life or making big decisions for the ministry I personally sense and feel the internal fire guiding me in each and every moment. I believe that the recurring dream carved the true spiritual discernment that resides in me it makes the difference between reaching out of human instinct and moving with Divine intention by waiting on the holy spirit before offering advice or taking action I am allowing that fire to act as both a FILTER and a COMPASS. As a FILTER it burns away hasty assumptions emotional noise and human limits ensuring that what I offer isn't just well meaning advice but actionable wisdom. The COMPASS part of it it illuminates the exact path forward for people who often come to me in their darkest are most confusing moments. Within this rests the power of patient discernment. I often tell my oversight pastor that God has anointed me to deal with Messy situations without being Messy. Remarkable discipline is imperative to sit in the stillness when someone is facing a crisis the impulse is often to jump in immediately with a quick fix but holding back until I feel that inner clarity ensures that when I do speak or move it carries weight, authority and real power. I find that with such clarity the fruit of the spirit is in action. The fact that divine help consistently arise for these families and individuals is the ultimate validation. It proves that the fire I embraced in that recurring dream all those years ago wasn't just a passive vision it was an act of calling to be a vessel for real tangible restoration and people's lives. 1 John 3:3 And everyone who has this Hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
3. 3Echoes in the CalmWaking hours are now shadowed by the dream's intensity. I find myself staring at reflections, searching for answers. The unease is a persistent hum, a question mark hanging over my days, urging me to seek understanding beyond the ordinary. I beseech thee Cece, to dig further in study to get a better revelation or a deeper revelation. Perhaps, this is the season of its' manifestation. I accept and I'm confident in the faithfulness of God that I am living in the will of God for my life.. I am walking in my calling and I'm being led by the spirit of God and not being betrayed by my heart. Working in the ministry, working in my family and in training unto righteousness. It is truly spectacular and incredible how a single powerful spiritual image can become a lifelong framework for wisdom. In essence, I have taken a visionary spiritual experience and anchored it directly into practical daily grace. Ironically I often talk about "AODLs, "activities of daily living" in my regular consultations, the interpretation of the recurring dream describes spiritual "AODL" - the daily rhythm of discernment, care and alignment for myself, my family and every person who walks through our doors. Let's talk about how this is operating in my daily life. Recalling the fragments of the recurring dream then applying them to everyday moments the dream continue serve three vital functions. First, a blueprint for discernment saying it three times the act of calling out three times in my dream mirrors a daily practice of patience and alignment essentially it means that I don't rush into a family's crisis or difficult decision on the first impulse I wait on confirmation I seek that three-fold alignment, patience-waiting on the spirit-receiving clarity before taking action or offering counsel. Secondly, it serves as a filter for daily clearing just as wildfire naturally clears out dead brush to make room for healthy growth keeping that image in mind helps me continuously clear away what doesn't belong in my daily life then for myself and for my family it burns away toxic stress unnecessary clutter and distractions keeping my home and myself spiritually grounded and then for those I help it helps me look past the chaos or noise of a family's immediate crisis to pinpoint the true underlying need so real help can arrive and then there's a safe harbor in the storm like unto embracing the flame when people are in need they often bring intense emotions fear grief and desperation because I learned early on in my dream not to fear the wildfire but to hold it I can stand calmly in the middle of messy situations without being messy in the middle of someone else's storm without being overwhelmed by it I become a steady reassuring presence or others feel safe Let's talk about the spirit in the small things transforming a spiritual vision into the quiet steady routines of daily care is where true Ministry lives. It turns an abstract calling into hot meals wise words steady direction and real hope for families when they need it most.
4. 4The Observer's GazeI try to dissect the dream, jotting down details in a worn notebook, well several notebooks. The storm, the fire, the unyielding ocean – they feel like symbols, personal yet universal. Especially the color of the fire, then calling the fire three times and me not being consumed by the fire. But their true meaning remains elusive, like a word on the tip of my tongue. 1. THE STORM 2. THE FIRE 3. UNYIELDING OCEAN PLEASE NOTE this biblical occurence of fire: When God expelled Adam and Eve to prevent them from eating from the Tree of Life, he places cherubim and a "Flaming Sword" that turned every side or flashed back-and-forth to guard the entrance. This moment carries profound layers of meaning, regarding justice , mercy , human limitation and theological history. By cutting off access to the tree of life, the expulsion is paradoxically an act of mercy. It establishes mortality, ensuring that human suffering and sin would not be permanent. It OPENED THE(white) DOOR, (pun intended, unintended) for future redemption. To dissect: every detail of the barrier carries theological weight symbolically speaking. (The east in biblical geography, moving "east", away from Eden, is consistently associated with exile and wandering further from God's presence.) Cain , for instance , wanders to the land of Nod east of Eden) The sentries are placed facing outward , signaling that the separation is absolutely from humanity side. Cherubim, which, by the way, are not chubby renaissance cherub, but fierce, multi-faced celestial guardians of God's holiness. In some instances associated with the throne of God. They mark the place between the sacred space of God's presence and the profane world. The Flaming Sword, the Hebrew phrase (lahatha-cherebha-mithappeket) points to a flashing whirling blade of fire. Fire in the bible routinely represents God'sq consuming holiness and judgment (as we see at Mt. Sinai in the pillar of fire), The sword is "self-turning" acting as an autonomous, unbreakable barrier. No human cleverness, strength or even righteousness could sneak pass it. (Genesis 3:24) This FLAMING SWORD image is echoed throughout Biblical History, the architecture of Israel's worship. The Tabernacle and Temple: when Moses builds the Tabernacle and later when Solomon builds the Temple with controlled access. In my life I have abhored that which is evil and clung to that which is good as a result of this recurring dream of WHITE FIRE. The story of the flaming sword found in Genesis 3:24, sets up a dramatic problem that the rest of the Bible seeks to resolve. I have sought revelation for this recurring dream of WHITE FIRE since it's inception. I did not and currently do not want to miss what God has for me to learn. The dream has in return, kept me near the cross in addition to other things. Here is a pretty amazing note: In the Book of Revelation, the Tree of Life is reintroduced, stating that those who overcome are once again given the right to eat from it, signifying that the exile is ultimately reversed and the way back to God is reopened. (Feeding on Christ) " To the one who overcomes (remain faithful) , I will grant the right to eat from the Tree of Life in the paradise of God. --Revelation 2:7 In context , this is spoken by Christ at the start of the Book of Revelation during the letters to the churches. It serves as a direct counter promise to the Book of Genesis chapter 3. In this chapter , where humanity was once blocked from the TREE of LIFE by the Flaming Sword , those who remain faithful (overcome) are explicitly granted legal access the right back to the tree of life to partake of it. Glory! Hallelujah! What a great thing to read and now know. Then again, in Revelation 22:2, it notes that the Tree of Life is standing on both sides of a river flowing directly from the throne of God yielding fruit monthly with leaves for the healing of the nations. Ministry Note; Keep receiving and sharing food "monthly" for the healing of families.
5. 5A Flicker of InsightDuring a quiet moment, perhaps in meditation or a walk, a thought surfaces: the fire isn't destructive. It's pure energy, a force of creation, not annihilation. This shift in perspective is subtle but profound, a new lens through which to view the dream. While it is not longer mystical to me, I still remain unworthy even more than before. The more I gain insight of what has actually taken place with this recurring dream I am mildly curious as to why I was chosen to see such and for so long. I am just now wanting to put the dream into print. I am just now accepting the fact that the dream is worthy of publishing and sharing, 40 years later after the first occurrence of the dream. My thoughts as a preteen is my thoughts as a great grandmother are very similar. My older self gives confirmation to my younger self. My younger self is grateful for the wisdom of my older self. During the moment of articulation of that insight, there are no years in between. I'm not my own, as the Psalm of David state's his humility in Psalm 8, " what is man that thou are mindful of him and in Psalm 100, David acknowledging God as our Maker "it is you oh God!that has made us and not we ourselves. Right now at this very moment, I feel like the very hands of God has held me the last 40 years. There are things that I have done terribly wrong knowingly and unknowingly, yet He has held me. Times where I knew the facts but I was skeptical, but He helped my unbelief. Even though God was showing me all the while who He was and how much I meant to Him. I still couldn't believe past what was dangl8ng in my natural eyes.Oh! So much peace I forfeited. Now, when I think of the details of the dream, particularly, God allowing me to see through the eyes of His Son in the dream over and over again for all of those years, it seems obscur to think that I did not fully believe in years past. This lack of full belief hindered my level of compassion for others. It also kept me from dressing in the "Whole Armour of God" daily.
6. 6The Ocean's SecretI revisit the dream in my mind, focusing on the ocean's futile attempts to quench the flames. It reinforces the idea that some things transcend natural limitations. The fire's persistence is its message – resilience, an inner strength I might possess. In the "burning bush" the fire was yellow and orange-reddish in color, God used this fire to speak to Moses about His compassion, His power and promise for the future. The bush was not consumed by the fire. The bush was not destroyed by the fire Exodus 3:2, but utilized to fully impact the life of Moses. To deliver a message to Moses and the children of Israel. Moses asked God for directions for his next step in the journey. God used the same Moses that fleed the scene as a murderer after killing an Egyptian. Moses took matters into his own hands, his heart betrayed him, he was not led by the spirit in his actions. Yet God still used Moses to free the children of Israel 40 years later. Here I am 40 years later seeking revelation of the recurring dream of "WHITE FIRE", wanting to bring my family out of captivity, out of bondage. I want to see God part the Red Sea for this family and my husband’s family.
7. 7Igniting the SparkThe dream begins to change. The storm still rages, but the white fire feels less like an external phenomenon and more like an internal one. Its light seems to emanate from within me, a nascent power beginning to stir.
8. 8Courage in the TempestI start to apply this newfound understanding to my waking life. Facing challenges feels different. The dream's fire becomes a metaphor for my own courage, a reminder that I can face storms, both internal and external, with an unquenchable spirit.
9. 9The Unquenchable TruthThe realization dawns: the white fire is a representation of my own potential, my inner light. It's a calling to embrace who I am, to live authentically, fueled by this pure, powerful energy that no external force can extinguish.
10. 10Navigating the WavesThe dream's narrative shifts. The storm begins to recede, or perhaps I simply learn to navigate it differently, guided by the steady glow of the white fire. The fear that once gripped me is replaced by a sense of calm determination.
11. 11From Fear to FireThe dream is no longer a source of anxiety. It's a sanctuary, a place where I connect with my deepest self. The white fire is a comforting presence, a testament to the power that resides within, waiting to be acknowledged.
12. 12The Inner CompassI actively seek out the dream, not to understand it, but to feel its energy. It becomes my inner compass, guiding my choices and actions. The once-mysterious fire is now a familiar, empowering companion.
13. 13Illuminated PurposeMy waking life begins to reflect the dream's transformation. I approach life with a renewed sense of purpose, fueled by the illuminating presence of my inner fire. The world seems brighter, imbued with possibility.
14. 14Embracing the GlowThe fear of the unknown, the uncertainty about my own strength, begins to dissipate. The white fire is a constant reminder of my inherent resilience and capacity for growth. I am no longer afraid of the depths. For 8 years, my husband and I accepted one working homeless single mom at a time into our home while we helped her navigate her life back to safe shelter for her family. Fear was never a question or conversation. The only fear was being disobedient to the call of God in the particular moment. Whatsoever you have done to the least of these you have explained done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
15. 15The Observer Becomes the FireThe distinction between observer and participant blurs. I am not just watching the white fire; I am part of it. Its light is my light, its unquenchable nature is my own spirit's enduring strength.
16. 16A New Dawn on the WaterThe dreamscape changes. The storm clouds part, revealing a serene ocean bathed in the soft, radiant glow of the white fire. It burns gently now, a peaceful, constant presence on the horizon of my consciousness.
17. 17The Unfolding PathEach day feels like a step forward, guided by the wisdom gleaned from the dream. The challenges that arise are met with a quiet confidence, the echo of the white fire's unwavering flame within me.
18. 18Living the LightI begin to consciously embody the qualities of the white fire: purity, power, and resilience. My interactions, my decisions, my very being radiate this inner light, transforming my experience of the world.
19. 19The Heart of the FlameThe dream is no longer a recurring event but a state of being. The white fire is integrated into my core, a constant source of inspiration and strength. I have found my purpose in its radiant glow.
20. 20White Fire, Whole LifeThe journey culminates not in an end, but in a continuous embrace. The white fire burns brightly within, an unquenchable, illuminating force that defines my existence, guiding me forward with unwavering purpose and peace.
