THE TOOL: FOR WARFARE OR PLANTING?

​Plant your garden, plant the heavens with decrees, crush the head of the serpent

In this 2 second dream, as He was passing by me, God quickly placed a tool in my palm and
said it’s time now!
As I awoke from the dream I thought I had been given an axe. In retrospect, the image was that
of a Looked like a wide headed spade. (Not a weapon?) planting tool! Although it is indeed time
for my garden to be replanted, the Lord has been talking to my spirit about snakes and warfare
these recent days. ! I asked someone what is used to crush a snake. I was told that people use
small shovels to cut the heads off! Maybe that was the purpose of the tool handed to me in the
dream!
Even in my asking God for His interpretation of the dream, I was reminded of the pruning hooks
and plowshares in the bible. these are "prophetic" passages that deal with times of warfare and
times of peace.   Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks
into spears; let the weak say, “I am a warrior.” Psalm 46:9 ESV Joel 3:10
In the end, when Jesus himself judges the nations we will follow Micah4:3
and Isaiah 2:4 and Joel 3:12 and beat our swords into plowshares and
pruning hooks. Until then, it is time to fight in spiritual and maybe even
physical warfare.
