Divine Dreams

Many are called, but few are chosen!
Matthew 22:14


I remember when I was a little boy I would have these dreams. Not ordinary dreams that everyday people had and shared in common, but dreams that I couldn’t explain at the time that I had them. I would see myself in total darkness, total darkness, just me and darkness. In the midst of the darkness was this bright light that was always around with me and the darkness. I was able to speak to the light and the light would speak back to me. But it was dark all around. No form of God’s creation was around. I didn’t understand it. These dreams were at a time when I had questions about God. Where was he before he created everything?, Who made God?, Where did God come from?, What does God look like?, Was everything really dark before he created it?, etc……. No matter what answer I received, I still didn’t quite get it. But, I kept having the same dream. As I look back at this I now realize the significance. It says in Jeremiah 1:4-10 The Lord gave me a message. He said, 5 “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesman to the world.” 6 “O Sovereign Lord,’ I said, “I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!” 7 “Don’t say that,” the Lord replied, “for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you. 8 And don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and take care of you. I, the Lord, have spoken!” 9 Then the Lord touched my mouth and said, “See, I have put my words in your mouth! 10 Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. You are to uproot some and tear them down, to destroy and overthrow them. You are to build others up and plant them.”
I remember in another dream being in a library. There were many books on the shelves around me. It always seemed that every book on the shelves would fall down on top of me. At times I would see this book that was always on the shelf and didn’t fall. I could never reach it, no matter how hard I tried. I would always get startled at the books falling down on me, because every time I had this dream this is what happened. This book on the shelf happened to be the Bible, but it always tormented me, all these books falling until they all fell leaving that one. The Bible. Today I know that the greatest book ever written is in fact the Bible. If anyone asks you what does the BIBLE mean? You tell them Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth. The Word of God stands alone. It’s like no other. There are many books we pick up easily rather than the Word of God. Sometimes it easier for us to obtain other information than the one that really matters. In my dream the Bible on the shelf was always high on the shelf which symbolizes the struggles we go thru before we find the truth, and when we do, you stand alone above all thru the Word of God.
It says in the Bible “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go" Joshua 1:8-9
"He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures." Luke 24:45


More recently in my adult years I experienced another dream during one afternoon nap. I only had this dream once. It was the most detailing dream I ever had. I remember in the dream being at a gas station. I was sitting in a car in the front passenger seat. I had no idea who drove me there, or who I was with in the car. A woman knocked on my window and told me that there is no more gas; the gas station ran out of gas. I told her then I guess I better go to another gas station. She said you can’t, because the streets are missing and there is total chaos, there is nowhere to go. She then went on to say that people are missing, there just disappearing. I remember in the dream speaking to my father right before I was at the gas station. He said he was going out and he will be right back. I could see his car in my dream, but there was no sign of him. The streets in front of him and behind him were all gone. His car stood there alone with the car still running, keys were still in the ignition, and the driver’s side door was left open. At that moment I received a call from my Dad saying son get ready! The rapture is occurring! Jesus is coming! Then the phone call ended. Still there was no sign of him. But I had spoken to him. I sat there and I started praying with my hands extended in the air while sitting in the car. Another woman knocked on the window as I was praying and told me that I shouldn’t do it that way, because when she did the Lord literally brought her to her knees. As I got out of the car I fell immediately on my knees and started praying. I could see a light approaching at me fiercely. As the light was approaching I was able to see the earth. Beams of lights were going up to this light that hovered the earth. I saw a lot of beams of light coming from the area of Africa. Why Africa? I just don’t know. I really couldn’t tell you. But that’s what I saw. As I opened my eyes I saw people disappearing before my eyes as all mankind stood in awe as they were watching what was going on. I closed my eyes as this light was approaching, as it got brighter and brighter and as it drew near me. When the light got to me the dream ended. When I woke up I was in a cold sweat and I felt different. I knew the Lord was telling me something, I just didn’t know what. I had my interpretation of it, but I still didn’t know what it meant. I spoke to a few men of God about the dream who had told me what they felt the dream was about. It was similar to my interpretation. The Lord was telling me I am coming! Be ready! He allowed me to feel in a real sense what the possibility of being left behind felt like. He gave me a glimpse of how many people including myself will not be ready. He showed me the world as a whole as this phenomenon occurred everywhere. No part of the earth was left uncovered. The whole world was watching. Many of us believe, but yet still we are not ready. Jesus is coming like a thief in the night. That doesn’t mean he is coming in the middle of the night or when we are sleeping. Because regardless of his timing or our conscious or subconscious nature, many of us will still not be ready. It is what it is. In his Word it says,
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
And regarding the question, friends, that has come up about what happens to those already dead and buried, we don't want you in the dark any longer. First off, you must not carry on over them like people who have nothing to look forward to, as if the grave were the last word. Since Jesus died and broke loose from the grave, God will most certainly bring back to life those who died in Jesus.
And then this: we can tell you with complete confidence - we have the Master's word on it - that when the Master comes again to get us, those of us who are still alive will not get a jump on the dead and leave them behind. In actual fact they'll be ahead of us. The Master himself will give the command. Archangel thunder! God's trumpet blast! He'll come down from heaven and the dead in Christ will rise - they'll go first. Then the rest of us who are still alive at the time will be caught up with them into the clouds to meet the Master. Oh, we'll be walking on air! And then there will be one huge family reunion with the Master. So reassure one another with these words.
This is truly amazing; they are some scriptures in the Bible that speaks of the coming of God. We will see his son Jesus as living proof that his is risen. There is something to live for. There is a better place. Soon the coming of our King will come, and we will all dwell with him.
