I had a dream Feb 19, 2022. We and our enemies were both in the same warehouse divided by a flimsy wall. I open up the unlocked door in that wall and walk into the room where their strategy table was. On their table where all their plans to kill their enemies (us) are exposed, I plop down multiple large, plain boxes with lift lids like the Tim Hortons 12-pack donut boxes but deeper, each containing 4 taco kits. They are shocked I got into their office, and start yelling at me but helpless to respond beyond a wagging tongue. I simply say, “Figured you were hungry. Here you go.” Then I calmly walk back out and close the door behind me. I woke up hearing, “Heaping coals of fire upon their heads.” That phrase is from Romans 12:20.
Rom 12:17-21 – Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him; If he is thirsty, give him a drink; For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Digging further to this phrase, I came across this interesting cultural context quote:
“In a cultural context that we encounter in Egyptian customs we can see that the one who had committed evil, as a sign of his repentance, carried a vessel of burning coals on his head.
In conclusion, the meaning of the phrase “burning coals” on the head of the enemy is to respond to evil with the good that the wrongdoer may be brought to repentance. By returning evil, I think of the benefit of the enemy — the change of the enemy into a brother in Christ.” https://moldovacrestina.md/en/what-does-burning-coals-on-his-head-mean/
The Apostle Paul often preached in word pictures that drew from Old Testament contextual understanding (i.e. his “thorn in his side” was referring to Numbers 33:55)and cultural concepts, much like Jesus did. Therefore, we need to look at the parallel between the natural to the spiritual. It is common knowledge that in that era they didn’t have electricity, but sometimes it helps to have the reminder they didn’t stoves to cook on. Scriptures need to be interpreted through the context in which they were written, not our current world perspective. They cooked over open fire and hot coals. Women would often carry their containers upon their heads like we still see today in the poorer areas of Africa. When you shared your burning coals LIBERALLY into a heap and not just a single lump, you were providing a necessity of life to others so they can cook and keep warm as well as share with others also. If they NEEDED your burning coals, the logical line of thought was that their own coals had grown cold. Cross-connect that concept with the fact numerous prophets declared a while back we are currently in the Perilous Times, which is when the love of many has grown cold. By demonstrating unconditional love to others, we are able to ignite THEIR love again!
The priests were tasked with keeping the menorah lamp and the altar for burnt sacrifices in the temple continually burning after the High Priest initially lit it, but throughout history there were times when the fire went out in the temple. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit. In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit poured out flames of fire upon the heads of the consecrated disciples in the Upper Room, who then in turn shared that fire across the world. (Acts 8 & 19) Paul commanded Timothy & in turn us to fan the flame.
2 Timothy 1:6 – “This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.”
Notice the spiritual gift isn’t given as a raging forest fire. It requires OUR partnership to nurture the embers and breathe life-giving oxygen to it. It’s OUR priestly responsibility to daily remove the ashes so the coals don’t get smothered.
Moving on. The phrase fragment “Heaping coals” reminded me of an old blog post from January 1, 2021 – “Reflecting on 2020 and Peering into 2021.” A review of that word would need an addition of “…2021 AND BEYOND”
Jan 1, 2021 – “… The rollercoaster we have been on is coming up to a loop-de-loop that will leave the coward’s stomachs on the person in front of them, so choose to sit at the very front in wide-eyed wonder. Hang on for the ride as it stays on the tracks God has destined. It WILL reach its destination in one piece. Keep your BELT on and you will, too. Panic and escape mentality will result in premature death. Remember, the fearmongers will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Didn’t the prophets say we have entered the Kingdom Era? Then it makes sense the purge that is coming to rid the body of all that isn’t Kingdom. This will be a year of HEAPING COALS upon our enemies so that the Wind may blow upon the CHAFF, preserving anything of value. This will open the eyes of the blind that the house of cards is the same as the 3 little pigs’ house of hay.”
Discussion about this caused some hilarity as one person asked why would anyone want to sit up front if everyone behind them was vomiting? The answer is the FORWARD moment will keep that front man free from splatter. They are also able to see what is coming that eliminates fear instead of being blinded by everyone else’s heads and atmospheric debris.
A seer prophet, Joyce Dyck, found a gold nugget pertaining to the root word of “CHAFF” in Psalm 35:5-6.
Psalm 35:5-6 KJV – 5 Let them be as CHAFF before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
“Them” in Psalm 35 is referring to those who strive against, oppose, and attempt to kill the David’s. Chaff, H4671 – Mos, means chaff (as pressed out, i.e. winnowed or (rather) threshed loose) and when used in simile, always referring to the wicked.
Now for the exciting nugget that is so applicable right now as Prime Minister Trudeau of Canada has declared the, the new Emergencies Act, the new version of the old War Act, and then shut down parliament because the Trucker Convoy who is celebrating in the streets of Ottawa. Air castle-bouncing, hot-tubbing, snowballing, patriotic singing protestors are even more threatening than the ISIS parliament shooters and 9/11 building bombers that did NOT warrant the Emergencies Act to be put into place. As the entire world looks on to the Mainstream narrative on one side and for those awake enough to see on the other side the boots on the ground narrative, we are truly watching a whole new measure of shaming of leaders on the world stage.
Isaiah 30:3 – “3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.”
Psalm 35:4 – 4 Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me; turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.
The ROOT word of Chaff is H4160 = squeezer, extortioner, oppressor! Now, let’s put that back into the fleshed out verse.
Psalm 35:5-6 – Julia’s unpacked amplified version – “Let those who strive against, oppress, and attempt to kill those who fear the LORD and stand up against the Goliaths like David be as the useless chaff that suffocated & kept the water out of the wheat kernel thereby keeping it dormant. May the wicked squeezers/extortioners/oppressors be pressed out, winnowed, and threshed loose before the Wind (*That comes as the Storm): and let the angel of the LORD chase them (*even worse than they chased others*). Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them (*even worse than they persecuted others*).”
Psalm 9:16 KJV – The LORD is known by the judgment which He executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
Luke 6:38 KJV – Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
So let’s go deeper and unpack some specifics of the root of the chaff and see if you get as excited as I am, knowing this is the category of people God is disciplining! Granted, if you fit in any of these categories instead of being in the persecuted category whether in employment settings or marriages or leadership environments, do not delay in racing to the LORD for forgiveness before it’s too late. I have been mentioning many prophets and witches alike know a portal is opening February 22, 2022 and I believe this download gives us clues as to WHAT will be coming through that portal. While the false prophets are declaring they are arresting and plundering the righteous, the righteous can now decree and declare all of Psalm 35 with the authority of those who rule and reign with God’s authority to trample upon serpents & scorpions and NOTHING shall by any means harm them. What Haman intended for evil to plunder the Jews, it backfired and Haman’s family line got plundered instead.

Another odd word was highlighted in my spirit while looking at someone’s prescription pill bottle –

BECAUSE of this COVID storm that has accelerated in intensity thanks to the pressure from the truckers convoy, we have gotten to see people’s previously hidden heart motives threshed up to a wider public exposure. What has been touted as conspiracy has been exposed to be truth. For example, PM Justin Trudeau’s love for communism and dictatorship was well documented in 2013 but previously ignored by the masses. Same for gene therapy vaccines that have been researched for decades with several reports that showed the devastating consequences to their animal studies. Now moms of newborns are being given a vaccine schedule for 98 shots, compared to 72 just a couple years ago, and 17 back when we were little. Pedophilia and gross corruption within government and churches alike that had been hidden has been exposed for all to see, with even more exposure coming soon. The infiltration of Claus Schwab’s WEF young leaders throughout the Canadian and other governments have become so obvious as they implement his agenda, thinking they are above the law. The communism, sexual perversion, transhumanism, witchcraft, and intentionally created identity crisis to devalue the next generation to make them more easily manipulated was exposed as parents suddenly got to see what their children were being taught by the public system during lockdowns and reacted in horror.
The threshing has exposed what was always there but hidden in plain sight under a flimsy covering. Shift that concept into the church world, business world, family life, or any of the 7 mountains of society. We’ve gotten to see those who had fertile seed inside and which ones simply had a whole pile of useless chaff. Anyone who has grown wheat can attest to the fact that not every seed head contains a genuine seed underneath the chaff. One cannot rectify a problem that they are unable to first recognize. In the coming days, we will look back at this storm and be so thankful for what it drew our attention to so that we could partner with God by manifesting His kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven.
The following day, I sat on the floor during our home group fellowship. I suddenly heard in the spirit the word, “DECOY!” I had a knowing that the Trucker’s Convoy had been used as a decoy, even if I didn’t see HOW.
Decoy:
- A bird or mammal, or an imitation of one, used by hunters to attract other birds or mammals.
- A person or thing used to mislead or lure an animal or person into a trap.
- Lure or entice (a person or animal) away from an intended course, typically into a trap. “They would try to decoy the enemy toward a hidden group.”
- A pond from which narrow netted channels lead, into which wild ducks may be enticed for capture.
Shortly after that, later two instances of perception illusions had everyone in a fit of giggles. The first one involved our friend stirring the remains of a bowl of salad and checking the now empty salad dressings. I turned my back for a moment to speak with a child, and when I looked back, our friend had grabbed a bottle of dish soap right next to the salad dressings and began squirting it into the salad bowl. Having endured preggy-brain many times myself, I jumped to intervene thinking she had mistaken the nearby dish soap for salad dressing in the mix of all the hub-bub. What I had NOT seen in my own momentary distraction was that she had emptied the salad into a smaller bowl and was now onto phase 2 of washing the larger bowl.
The second giggle-inducer was when I was at the piano that was positioned in front of a window playing away. Suddenly in the window’s reflection, I “saw” a man carrying a woman wearing a frilly blue skirt down the stairs over his shoulder. When he put “her” down and I spun around to see reality, I realized it was an antique chair with a chair skirt that covered the chair legs & whatever else would be hidden under that throne. My hysterical belly-laughing drew everyone’s attention to a covering that no one would have paid any attention to in the past.
The 3rd event causing even more comedy involved an energetic game of chess at the dining table. Who knew the boring chess club had so many secrets! “Rest” & “Crowned For Jesus” were jesting with double-speak that meant one thing for the gamers while those listening in were perceiving a completely different theme. The queen had been rendered impotent! The strategy was set up involving 3 fronts that didn’t jive together to purposely cause confusion as to what the player’s actual intent was, paralyzing the opponent and causing rash mistakes. Checkmate! Game over! (**On a side note, the headlines this morning declared the Queen of England now has COVID. A prophet playing chess could be deadly!)
Then gifts were exchanged that had 3 messages.
- “Nope, not today satan!”
- “Don’t test the Jesus in me!”
- “Be strong in the LORD in His Might”
Our final, more serious event of the evening was going through a worksheet a friend created after observing so many in his sphere feeling helpless and spinning their wheels.
- Work to resolve old wounds. It’s hard to embrace a vision for your life while still having old wounds. Do you need to forgive? Are you hanging onto past hurts? We first need to be honest about these feelings. Invest in yourself in order to move forward.
- Understand it’s not about you. (**Referring to we are to build God’s Kingdom, being about our Father’s business, and not trying to build our own like Pharaoh.)
- Explore your passion and talents. It’s time to give your gifts and talents to the world. Olympic runner Eric Liddell said, “God made me fast when I run. I feel pleasure.” What is your God-given talent & passion?
- Spend time with people. This may include a mentor, other believers, etc.
- Envision what you want your life to look like. What type of person do you want to be? (**This is to be done with Holy Spirit, seeing what He has written about you in the scrolls of heaven before you were born.)
- Don’t limit yourself. Don’t let fear or lack of confidence change your vision. It’s ok if your vision scares you but you still may feel EXCITED.
- Good feedback from trusted sources. Talk to people around you about your vision, such as family or other believers.
- Write a mission statement and list action steps. One sentence statement that captures your vision. Post it where you can see it. Write down 4-5 steps that would get you closer to these steps, repeating until your vision is complete.
- Find accountability. Find people that will keep you moving forward.
- Be flexible. Think of your vision as a living thing. Your vision may change along the way, or need to be tweaked but that’s ok!
