A Dream

I had a dream before
awakening on the early morning of September 15, 2000. My Heavenly Father told me to write it out today.
My husband, Billy and I and
our son, David, were standing before a large, beautiful building. The exterior walls were made of stones with
various colors including black and white stones. The trim around the door we were about to enter was white. I saw other like buildings to our left that
made this appear to me as a PLACE, perhaps, of many like buildings as the one
we were about to enter.
A large door was opened up
to us and we entered in. Once we were
inside we were met by a lady whose countenance was radiant, showing an unusual
quietness and confidence; radiant with a God - like patience (seemingly the
very essence of God). Her silver -
white hair was average in length, neatly arranged and held back with a brown
barrette. I thought she looked familiar. I thought she might be a friend of ours in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, who lived across the street from us on Russell Avenue
during the 50’s and 60”s who was a born again Christian.
I like to believe it was my
neighbor that met us at the door to show us around. I do not recall that she said anything to us the whole time we
were there. It was an unusual PLACE
where one could appreciate the oneness of beautiful silent communion with each
other. I noticed the brightness in this
large PLACE with its expansive high ceilings.
It was like a foyer where many persons were mingling in small groups
here and there. And without a voice
reaching me from anyone, I knew they were quietly communicating with each
other, and all as one body communing IN God.
All were in the same heavenly PLACE, all IN the Kingdom of God, all with
the very same essence of God emanating from them that filled this PLACE with
the Glory of God.
Next we entered a large
kitchen area. It was a kitchen-dining
area combined. I found myself helping
to separate the dining area somewhat away from the kitchen area by moving a
table and six or eight chairs further away from the kitchen. There appeared to be a long table with many
chairs that filled the rest of the length of the room.
From there we were shown a
cozy room with soft light. The room was
filled with worshippers sitting on chairs or on the floor, wherever there was a
spot to sit. There was a man in the
corner with a guitar, picking out the melody of a song we were singing in Spirit
and truth, in worship of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our
Lord and Saviour. Then I saw our
daughter, Barb, on the floor with a guitar, picking out the notes to strum
along with the tune. She was settled
close behind me between the guitar player and us sometime before we arrived.
Then someone was sharing the
anointed word from the Lord. I looked
around and saw it was a dark-skinned man lying on the floor, completely covered
from the top of his head and down. Only
his face was visible to me. After a
space of time, there were two dark-skinned men, both with the same type of
covering, lying side by side, sharing the anointed word. There was a third
dimensional monitor in bright color on the wall, everything taking place in
this room in view.
From this room we went
toward the next room where I could see, from the doorway, a young beautiful
lady with dark eyes and long black hair.
Her face was very pale but radiant.
She was on a hospital bed in a reclining position. There were others who were convalescing in
the same room. I was not led into the
room but I knew they were in a recovery stage and the manifestation of fullness
(wholeness in God) would be fully restored unto each of them by the power of
God through Jesus in His corporate body.
He was living and abiding and ministering in and through all. I believe they had entered into the same
PLACE of worship as all of us by means of the monitor I had seen on the wall of
the room we were previously in where the two men were ministering on the floor.
From there we were led
through the entrance of a large auditorium.
I could see an elevated area in front for ministry. Hundreds of folding chairs lined up neatly
for a large crowd of worshippers desiring to worship the Lord in Spirit and
Truth with the body of Christ, in one accord, with one heart and mind and all
in one PLACE and hungry to hear the Anointed Word of God through one another.
I worshipped God who I knew
had arranged everything perfectly in every area that I saw, not only in this
large room, but also in this whole large building. There was peace and reverence everywhere and love and kindness,
grace and respectfulness toward all. I
am sure that all were appointed in their place that was preordained by God and
in direct service to Him. Everyone was
flowing in the Spirit of God in the PLACE Jesus said He had gone to prepare for
us.
There was no confusion. Everyone was hearing from God what to say or
what to do and when to say it and when to do it. It was like everyone was moving in the image of our Creator, as
if they all, as one body – the body of Christ - had one likeness, as if, “A
wheel was in the midst of a Wheel” (Ezekiel 10:10), moving together, this way and that, as Christ in His
body; as THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD; and all accomplishing His will,
everyone’s heart being in harmony with God’s heart, doing their specific
calling IN GOD ALMIGHTY!
Then, while still inside of
this building (this wonderful heavenly spiritual PLACE) we found ourselves in a
large area to the left of the main entrance that we had walked through in the
beginning of my dream. A narrow
railroad track ran through this part of the building, left of the main entrance
and from front to back. A dark tunnel extended through a large archway and
outside, beyond the back of the building.
A man in a porter’s uniform stood inside the back of the house
announcing the train that was about to come right into the house, from that
tunnel and through the large archway. I
believed it would not be run by fuel that would create smoke in the other rooms
of the house. There was no wall between
this transport area and the Foyer of this beautiful PLACE.
I knew there would be a
train full of hurting people coming from the valley of the shadow of death; all
seeking the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness; some would be physically
hungry, all would be suffering in unspeakable pain. Yet they knew Jesus was with them – His rod and His staff
comforting them as they walked through this shadow to the PLACE of many
mansions He had gone ahead to prepare for them. They had gained assurance that no evil would befall them along
this dark and painful way for they knew Jesus was with them all the way. And they were greatly anticipating there
would be a table set before them in the presence of their enemies; and each
one’s head would be anointed with oil and their cup would be running over to
tell others of this PLACE
All of the people on this
train are hungry for the Spirit of Truth to lead them into all truths, seeking
the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness with a whole heart. They will come to know that we are all
reconciled back unto God by His infinite love, mercy and grace; that He through
Christ Jesus, His only begotten Son, and Lord and Savior of the whole world,
has made us all whole and complete in Him, perfect and entire, wanting nothing
while we were yet in darkness of sin; that the Lord IS our Shepherd and always
has been leading us to a place where we shall not want; where He makes us to
lie down in green pastures: leading us beside the still waters, restoring our
soul; and leading us in the paths of righteousness FOR HIS HOLY NAME’S SAKE.
The scene was changed and we
were in another room and I turned as I heard someone behind me. I saw a man who stood above us on a
platform. A green- carpeted ramp led up
to the platform. He was inviting those
that would to come inside through the archway that was behind him. He had wheeled a cabinet out to display a
variety of bottles (cordials – spirits) with the intention to tempt anyone he
could to turn again to seek worldly ways.
Inside the archway was complete darkness. I saw a discouraged look on his face as he turned to wheel his
wares back into darkness alone with none else following him. I then awoke from my dream worshipping God
that Jesus won a great victory this day (this is THE DAY OF THE LORD). I knew all who were in this PLACE had come
to know Him who is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. I was worshipping God in my whole being, knowing that ALL of
God’s Creation (each in their own time) would come to know that Jesus brought
LIFE AND LIFE MORE ABUNDANTLY to ALL.
Once EVERY person KNOWS HIM
WHO IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE in reality, they will not turn
back. They will continue on until they,
too, are walking in THE IMAGE OF GOD as God has created them AND THE ENEMY WILL
NEVER BE ABLE TO TOUCH THEM AGAIN. OH,
HALLELUIAH! ALL GLORY AND HONOR AND
PRAISE BE UNTO HIM WHO SITS ON THE THRONE FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN!
