Following is a sample from Jason's book. LORD, how important is it to use the eyes of my heart? How have I been using them? How would You have me use them? “I desire for you to present before Me the eyes of your heart for Me to fill. I want to heal the eyes of your heart of all the things you've seen in the past: all the sin, all the pain, all the hurt and rejection. I want to heal your vision that you will be able to see and look, and in seeing and looking, you will see that I was there with you in those painful moments. “Because you have buried your past you do not want to see what has happened before; you are afraid of looking into My mirror and seeing the reflection of yourself in that mirror. Who are you, My son? Who do you see yourself as? I want you to look into the mirror and see the perfect reflection of the LORD Jesus Christ looking back at you. “I clothe you with the robes of righteousness. I desire to take away your sackcloth and ashes and give you new clothes to wear. I desire for you to put on the LORD Jesus Christ, to wear Him, to display His glory. You are a treasure in a clay pot. I desire to put you in a new outer shell, one that is adorned with My beauty. Look into the mirror; you will see yourself as I see you. “With the eyes of your heart I desire to show you My kingdom, My love. In vision and dream will I make My love come clear to you. In vision you will see yourself as I see you, strong, fearless, a mighty warrior. You will carry the Sword of Truth; put on the Helmet of Salvation, which will protect you from the attacks of the enemy. Carry the Shield of Faith; the LORD is with you, mighty man of valor! “With the eyes of your heart you can enter into a deeper relationship that I have for you. You can see Me there with you, loving you; see Me as a real loving Person rather than as a thing. I am a Person Who loves you, Who cleanses you from all unrighteousness. “I want to heal the memories of the past. They haunt you; they torture you inside. Come out from the place of hiding, the place of fear and loneliness; be not afraid to confront your past. Without Me coming to heal the memories of your past, healing cannot fully come. You cannot fully develop your heavenly vision if you are avoiding seeing unpleasant memories. “God shows you these memories so that you may come fully into wholeness, restoration, and oneness with God. You are the dwelling place of God. In your dwelling place there are many rooms. The enemy hides in the dark, deep places of your heart. These are the rooms you have kept locked up; for if you enter them, there you will see the hurt, the pain, the sin of the past. These are the rooms that the Holy Spirit wants to come into but He cannot! Not without your permission! You must give Me the key so that I may go into these rooms and cleanse them.” New German and Polish Translations Posted – Please spread the word to your friends!

Dream Interpretation: Stripping Parts – Steve Bydeley Dream: I had an antique motorcycle and car. Both ran well and looked great. I kept them in a building across the street because there was room for them. But each time I checked on them I found that the motorcycle was being vandalized, parts were being removed. Finally, I had my little brother help me push the motorcycle home and into the garage of the house where we grew up. Background: There was nothing in particular happening in my life at the time, but it seems the Lord wanted to start something…. Interpretation: For me the symbols of the motorcycle and car represent the active areas of my life such as vocation and/or ministry, the motorcycle being something that I do primarily alone and at least for two people. This one was a long-time activity (antique). Because I was neglecting it and not using it, slowly I was being robbed of it. The reference to my little brother and the home/garage of my youth pointed me to that area or time of my life. Effect on My Life: The dream alerted me to look for areas in my life that were slowly being robbed from me because of my neglect. What came to mind was the slow erosion of my relationship with one of my siblings due to neglect and distance. The relationship had been important to me in my youth. Because of the dream I determined I would begin to pursue and fight to maintain or improve that relationship. It seems this was important to God as well. Steve and Dianne Bydeley are authors of the book Dream Dreams, as well as a companion workbook, teacher's manual and seminar audiotapes. They offer a 12-week Internet Dream Interpretation Mentoring course wherein you are personally and confidentially coached through your dreams. The Lord uses dreams to bring healing, improve marriages, parenting skills, workplace relationships, friendships, give encouragement, and more. Steve and Dianne lead seminars and workshops, bringing people into healing and a more intimate relationship with God and others. Credits for the 12-week Internet Dream Interpretation Mentoring practicum are available through CLU. Contact them at info@lapstoneministries.org and visit their website at www.lapstoneministries.org. Journaling from Pastor Della (Her first three journal entries) “You still have many things you fret about. Fix your eyes on Me, not just for journaling. I do care for you and I meet your needs one day at a time. You feel that you are unprotected and need to take action for the future, but you have always been under My wings, daughter. I have always been there protecting you. These are just facades and they are coming down for you. Let them fall down. “Go to the edge of the cliff and just jump. I will catch you. You will learn to enjoy life as you asked and you will see Me. Keep your eyes fixed. You are making progress. Let go, and let Me. I do have somewhere that I am taking you and it is a journey. Let the heaviness and pressures go. It is OK to be lighthearted and carefree, especially because I care for you and about you. You have many that love you. Keep your eyes on Me.” What would You like to say to me today? “Come and sit in My lap today. This weekend I have been doing many things in your life and in the lives around you. Remember to take quiet time and rest in Me. Mondays are really your Shabbat. You need to find your peace and center in Me. You are learning that I can do more than you possibly could think about. I have surprised you this weekend to show you I am working in these relationships. “Lay your head on My chest. Let Me hold you tight. It is OK to let go of everything and relax in Me. When I massage your temples, your stress will leave because that is where it is held. Quit thinking so much and sense your spirit. Stay focused in vision and expecting vision. I will come to you in vision and you will see Me clearly. You will see clearly. Letting go is a process. This is the day to let go and download.” Thanks, Jesus. Della Dear Jesus, Why do I want to eat all the time? “There have been great disappointments inside of you. With the disappointments comes great emptiness and that is what you have been trying to fill. It is true that food isn't that filling. It's just a habit that is associated with pleasure. You have been making great strides in bringing your disappointments to Me and acknowledging them. It will get better in this area. You are pressing into Me and finding out about My nature. I am not troubled or concerned with circumstances as you are. I have a much larger plan and a larger view. “As you continue to trust in Me and envision Me, you are seeing Me in a new light. I don't want you cloaked in heaviness, nor with the cares of this world. It is true that you have come such a long way this past year. This year will be lighter and freer for you. You will experience more joy and deeper intimacy with Me. It will be worth all your prayers and perseverance. The river is coming and your heart is being healed. My daughter, I have gifts for you. Get ready to open them. Receive them, believe in them and use them. They will help others get set free. Rest your chest on My heart today. Lean into Me.” Thanks, Jesus. Humor Heals You know you're living in 2003 when... 1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave. 2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years. 3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3. 4. You e-mail your friend who works at the desk next to you. 5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends is that they don't have e-mail addresses. 6. When you go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner. 7. When you make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "0" or "9" to get an outside line. 9. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. 10. Contractors outnumber permanent staff and are more likely to get long-service awards. …and the real clinchers are... 12. You read this entire list, and kept nodding and smiling. 13. As you read this list, you think about forwarding it to your "friends." 14. You got this e-mail from a friend that never talks to you anymore, except to send you jokes from the net. 15. You are too busy to notice there was no number 8. 16. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a number 8. (Bet you all did this one!) 17. You are also too busy to notice there was no number 11 either. Relax and enjoy! Life is too short… Also check out this simple test to see if you are stressed and need some time off!  Congratulations
