She's not who you think she is.....

She’s not who you think she is…. 

I dreamed that I was asked to be a guest worship leader and sing for a large church. This church was in the city and was run by a husband and wife team. Upon arriving, very little attention was given to me being there. I did not meet the pastors, I wasn’t instructed on the service agenda, given a sound check or anything. I was simply told to go and wait in a room that was off stage left. Suddenly the door busts open and a young blonde floods the room with her presence. She is yelling, cursing, pulling at her clothes, ripping ribbons from her hair…. nothing is right and she wasn’t having it. It was a horrible scene. Then out she goes as quick as she came screaming “no, no, no, I’ll just fix it myself!”  

In the next scene of this dream, I was sitting in the congregation. I still had not led worship, or sung the first song. The pastor opened in prayer and announcements and then introduced his wife, whom he was turning the service over to. Out walks the blonde whom I had just witnessed in a full-on hissy fit. I noticed she was considerably younger than her husband as she takes the pulpit. She is graceful, beautiful and adorned with a winning smile to the congregation. She began to deliver a message befitting a pastor. Her congregation seemed to hang on every word she spoke. Inside I was cringing. She then acknowledged my presence to the congregation and suggests that I may be their new worship leader. I wanted to melt into the pew. I wanted to leave, but I couldn’t. I wanted to let her husband and their congregation know…. “She’s not who you think she is….”  

The service ended and I found myself lost outside the church, walking blocks and blocks trying to find my car. 

I’m not sure what this dream means, or if it has any meaning at all. However, what is glaringly obvious is the duplicity of the woman. She was the only one exposed for her behavior in my dream, however, I’m sure there were more like her present. She held a place of spiritual authority and responsibility. We automatically hold her and others in her position to a higher standard. But God holds each of us to HIS standard. God’s standard should be a consistent trait in us whether behind the scenes or out for everyone to see. Let God search your heart and bring correction wherever He sees fit. Maybe that’s the purpose of the dream….. to help us to be more aware of ourselves. He is coming back for His bride without spot or wrinkle and He sees exactly who we are. Love and blessings to you.
