by Bobby Conner- February 22, 2001

During the early hours of February 22, 2001 while in San Jose, California, I had a vivid dream which was so graphic and strong that I was stunned awake by it. Looking at the clock it was precisely 2:22 AM. I pondered the dream for quite sometime before falling back into a deep sleep. To my utter amazement at 5:55 AM I experienced the exact same dream, even more intense. I was shaken by the reality of having the identical dream. I was so moved and astonished by these two back-to-back dreams that I called my prophetic friend Bob Jones in North Carolina to relate these dreams.

He was considerably stunned by this call saying, "You will not believe this! ... I received almost the same identical dream last night!"

WHEN GOD RELEASES DUPLICATE DREAMS

It is especially essential to take notice when God begins to release duplicate dreams, the Spirit of God is synonymously saying the same thing. For the Scriptures declare that it is in the mouth of two or three witnesses that a thing is to be established.

Join with me in this prayer - "God give us ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church."

I will relate the dreams and at a later time-- after having received more clarification and illumination, will give the interpretation and application. I've asked several of my prophetic friends to aid me in this process.

THE DREAM

"TIME TO KISS THE SWORD OF THE LORD AND THE LORD OF THE SWORD!"

The dream commences - I am standing in a large crowd of people, in a place which appeared like a large hallway or passageway, much like a walkway in an airport terminal, however much larger.

The people are standing around chatting and visiting. They seemed to be content simply to be standing around going no where. Suddenly in the distance, about forty feet away, Christ Jesus appears.

The people continue their idle chatting and shallow visiting, seemly unaware, oblivious of the Lord approaching. He is walking with resolve toward me with a big brilliant glorious, sword. The sword is in HIS right hand. His sword is glowing, gleaming razor sharp.

He proceeded to walk-- stopping directly in front of me. Lifting up the sword, high above His head, speaking in a most convincing tone. . .

"It is time to kiss the sword!"

This was a strong directive command. While speaking these words He lowers the sword to His face placing it at His lips. He decreed, "Kiss the sword!" I extended my face and lips preparing to kiss the sword; which was placed flat against Christ's lips. As I leaned forward to kiss the sword, He turned the sword with the extremely sharp blades facing His lips and mine.

I was hesitant to continue to press my face and lips into the edge of the sharp glistening sword. Knowing my reluctance, He said,

". . . My grace is sufficient for you, I bore the pain for you!"

I HAD TO WAR AGAINST MY MIND

His words stirred deep within my soul, arousing strong confidence and assurance in my heart, releasing courage for me to continue to press my lips firmly against the razor-sharp sword. In spite of His reassuring promise of no pain, I had to war against my mind, which was not totally convinced that I would not be wounded and feel excruciating unbearable pain.

Nevertheless, as the sword began to penetrate-- making it's way into my lips I felt only pleasure-- not pain. So I pressed even harder, my deepest longing was for my lips to meet the lips of the Master.

THE SONG OF SONGS

My heart was filled with the plea of Song of Songs . . . "Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth, because His mouth is altogether lovely."

I could feel a hot flow pouring forth from my lips. I felt for sure it was blood streaming down my chin and onto my chest. I could feel the warmth as well as hear it's splatter upon my feet and the floor. I was truly amazed and astounded, thinking I must be bleeding extremely badly. Nevertheless, I felt absolutely no pain, only a deep unexplainable pleasure resulting in transcending peace.

As I looked down at my chest and feet, to see what was flowing from my lips, it was not my blood at all. But rather, it had the appearance of flowing, glowing liquid gold. The Lord said, "That is My Glory, it is released by embracing the Spirit of Truth."

Prov 22:11 . . . "He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend."
