On 1 February 2026, I had a dream.
I very rarely dream, (maybe once or twice a year) so it felt significant as soon as I woke up.
In my dream I was in a meat factory with a difference...the only most accurate name I could give to this establishment was 'torture factory' (there won't be any gory details, so you can read on at peace). But it might trigger otherwise strong feelings...
SETTING THE SCENE
Everything in this dream was moving at an extremely slow pace as though someone had extended minutes into hours, ie slo-mo movie!
Personally, I'm not a fan of horror movies (seeing one was enough to haunt me for 15 years!) but if you can imagine someone really enjoying something (food or other pleasure/activity etc.), they take as long as they can to complete it...well this was the scene. I couldn't see who owned this factory as they were all 'outside the picture' eg. 'behind the scenes', directing this 'movie' they were creating. I heard a number of voices of the 'directors' who were all enjoying the scenery immensely - this was obvious by their sounds. If you can imagine someone taking great pleasure in harming someone and describing to you very slowly what they are doing, in a raspy voice full of wickedness, coming through an evil grin...that was it!
I do believe these directors represented demonic entities, such as principalities and powers.
The reason I will write down all the details, is that I believe God speaks through metaphors, and I don't want to leave out any potentially important details...
THE SCENE
I was watching the following unfold in front of my eyes as a neutral bystander...
- There was a human sized long bobbin-like contraption (looked a lot like an old fashioned boat shuttle), which was slowly spinning horisontally. There was someone tied onto the middle of it, onto the core of the bobbin (see metaphor on google)...and with each rotation, they received more and thicker layers of thread spun around them, tangling them until there was no way to escape the suffocation...
- The next contraption was a minced meat machine (see metaphor on google), where human went in from the top and a minced version of him came out from the bottom.
(I only saw one person in each of these machines, I knew the whole place was full of all sorts of torture machines but I only saw those two)
What stood out from the mince meat machine was the way one version of a human went in and a totally different version of the same person came out from the bottom, all minced but still the same! The substance that came out was still all them, BUT STRIPPED OF EVERYTHING they had before they went in from the top!
The version of them which came out from the bottom looked like a random cubistic figure -there was no identity left of the previous person, he was stripped of all his humanity, personality and skills, leaving a 'empty shell' which lacked brain! The most accurate way to describe that new 'empty shell' would be to imagine someone who is considered not responsible for looking after themselves or understanding anything around them, needing 24/7 care, (like someone who has been sent to spend their life in a mental institution).
In my dream I saw a person go into the minced meat machine and come out stripped of everything they went in as. What was left was...
...Cubistic unrecognisable version of person who went into the minced meat machine
INTERPRETATION
As I am writing this, it has been 1 week since Shawn Bolz story and how that has affected Bethel church and their leaders Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton...
As I mentioned above, I was a complete bystander in this dream and I have very much hesitated to take sides one way or another, only God's side.
We all do what we think and believe is best in the circumstances so PLEASE don't read any condemnation into anything that is written in this blog post. I do believe God has revealed His heart to me via this dream so we can learn another aspect of Him we may have missed.
I do believe the 2 tortured figures are the 2 Bethel leaders mentioned above.
The torture machines are platforms from which they can be seen - mainly social media.
The torturers - demonic forces pulling strings and bringing our attention away to see the real crook in this story - Shawn Bolz, who has been deceiving countless people!
Mince meat machine: internet with all the news, rumors and gossip, feeding that endless hunger for sensational...
All the while, Bill Johnson and Kris Vallotton, the ones who have been held at very high regard by pretty much all the churches, for decades....
Their main sin seems to be, that they were too merciful, waiting for Shawn to repent!
In doing so, some of the worldwide body of Christ has pointed their finger at them (does this equal picking up a stone?!) for not going public sooner... Yes it was wrong, but they have released a heart-felt public apology, so maybe instead of pointing our finger, we should pray for them?
They have been painted to be the "empty shell". The lens through which we see them now, has been distorted by the enemy and the value of the decades worth of teachings have been greatly reduced in this latest stunt by demonic powers, and I do feel we have been somewhat blinded to see the true culprit in this.
When I was thinking of all this, my heart was filled with great sadness....for all parties who have suffered because of these events...it made me think What would Jesus do? What did he do? I was reminded of the pharisees who completely lawfully picked up a stone and were ready to throw it to kill the woman caught on adultery. The only difference was: Jesus didn't pick a stone! (Matthew 8:1-11) Why not? Because the woman was sorry!
I felt as though God was crying at what we are capable of doing to each other...
He commanded us to love each other...
He gave us ONE COMMAND, and we seem to have forgotten about it, going back to picking up stones...
Christians ARE the body of Christ now - if we pick up stones to throw at each other, we are actually throwing it at Jesus!
I feel very strongly the Father's heart crying out for the great damage that has been done and that we might actually be 'crucifying the wrong men'!
We must be ready to drop that stone and show love and kindness to repentant ones and condemn the ones not ready to repent...
Maybe a completely different view to yours but can I please be so brave and call us all to forgiveness and mercy as Jesus taught us...
PRAYER
Lord, please forgive us! Please cleanse us from all evil! We repent from being the ones who are ready to throw the stone when you are offering your love and forgiveness. We repent Lord. Please show us how we can be more like you Jesus! Amen.
