Daniel 12:3 Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of Heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. In this dream, Bob saw that God is giving the Body of Christ restored hopes, promises, and good shepherds who will not build their own kingdoms, but will build the Kingdom of God by building the kingdom of others unto Him. These good shepherds will not be those with a Nimrod Spirit who use people to build their own kingdom and actually steal the inheritance of the "hope of their calling" from others. These good shepherds will focus on repairing the breach of lost inheritance for others, and will not take their inheritance from them, but will enable them to walk into the fullness of the hope of their calling in Him. Acceleration by Association: Building the Wall of the Knowledge of God Together In this dream, good shepherds came together to repair the breach from Isaiah 58:12 and as they did, Bob saw that the Lord was giving back stones of people's inheritance through these good shepherds. We, as the Body of Christ, began using these stones to build a hope filled wall, moving away from the holes in our own wall working together to build one solid wall by helping others fulfill the hope of their calling. Then Bob watched as the Body of Christ began to take off and accelerate in a whole new way! God is giving us an "acceleration of the Kingdom through association," an acceleration of our hope filled purposes and callings that will happen as we move away from isolation and into the "healthy happy hope centers of community" where our souls will be cared for by good shepherds and the Good Shepherd, Himself. This is like Genesis 29:1-8 where the sheep cannot be watered until the shepherds come together to roll away the stone that covers the well. There is a struggle, in this, between isolation and community that we all wrestle with – a struggle that God revealed to Bob clearly in a dream about 1 Kings 18 and19, where Bob felt he was walking out the experiences of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, challenges that we, as the Body of Christ, are facing now. Dream of Elijah: In this dream, Bob had gone up the hill like Elijah in 1 Kings 18:20, to confront the Prophets of Baal on the top of Mount Carmel.
