#167 | The Lord Our Keeper

I saw a football field and a Being I perceived to be the Lord. He stood in front of the goalpost, dressed in kingly clothes.

Next, I saw enemies with arrows trooping into the stadium and then I heard:

“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” [Philippians 2:13]

And then, the football match began.

On the side of light and the side of darkness were archers each. The Archers on the side of darkness were together at the stand behind the goalpost of those of the light, where the Lord was the goalkeeper.
The Archers of the light were on the opposite side, behind the enemy’s goalpost as well.

As the match went on, I saw some people trying to share the duty of goalkeeping with the Lord because they didn’t trust that the Lord was a good keeper. This affected how the Lord was guarding the goalpost because they were invading His space. Some even began pushing Him to prevent the ball from entering the goalpost.

Possible interpretation:

• A stadium is a place of tremendous impact, meaning whatever happens there affects not just the players, but also the spectators — the world.

• The field could represent ministry (to the body, saints, or the world), and Christ is the goal.

• The archers of light could be likened to the cloud of witnesses.

• Christ the goalkeeper in His kingly robe is symbolic of the Glory of the Lord, Christ in us, the hope of glory.

• Those trying to share the goalpost with the Lord are attempting to share the glory that belongs to Him.

This occurs when people use their giftings for themselves instead of for the glory of God.

Scriptural references:
Philippians 3:12-16; 1 Corinthians 10:31-33
