I had two dreams when I was younger, a number of years apart; they seemed prophetic. I will explain what I saw in vision & reality. I don& #39;t feel like I am worthy to prophecy for anything of significance, I just think what happened to me is quite amazing so I would like to share..
In the first dream, I was standing on a barren mountain. Coming from the top of the mountain was a flow of lava, it came down and separated me from what seemed to be an identical barren rocky surface. I was looking at the peak, and had a feeling to turn and look back...
Behind me, on the other side of the flow of lava, was a bush of some kind, I say some kind because it was completely on fire. I stood across the lava from it, just looking, wondering, even then, what the meaning of it was... then a voice spoke. The voice was booming...
"You must choose" is all I was told... the voice seemed to come from everywhere, and nowhere all at once. I continued standing there, looking into the fire from a distance. I then opened my eyes, awake.
The second dream was many years later, out of nowhere...
I had a dream I was sitting with my Grandmother, side by side on the bed. We were talking about something I couldn& #39;t remember. As she was speaking, suddenly, she stopped talking mid sentence, mouth still partially open...
He eyes were locked in position, mouth still open from speaking... completely motionless. I was startled and tried to wake her from this state, raising my voice in plea, but she said nothing. I turned to look at the dresser, where a clock was sitting, it was ticking backwards...
I turned back to meet her eyes, which then began to cloud over completely black, like ink dropped into a pool, still motionless... I got up and turned to run then opened my eyes, awake.
Initially I thought the first dream was in reference to my parents. My mother abandoned Christianity at a young age, because of the way it was forced on her, as did most of her siblings. I took this to mean my Father was the one who I needed to stay close with...
I later found out his faith was very weak; he eventually fell away from the righteous path, as most do, who don& #39;t take their knowledge and understanding of scriptural principles seriously. In 2016, he got together w/ some other family and stole thousands from me in assets...
Having experienced such hypocrisy from people claiming to be Christian, and my own family no less, I started to feel as though I should reanalyze my choices. My mother, despite her lack of biblical knowledge, seemed to be the all around better person, especially morally...
I had a conversation recently with her when she openly made the statement, I don& #39;t feel like the bible has anything to do with my life, and I just don& #39;t really feel like it& #39;s important. Having never stopped my studies of the scriptures, this was deeply disturbing to me...
I am aware the bible tells us to honor our father and mother, so despite the years of wrong-doing in my direction from both of them, I tried to let it go and just accept them for their shortcomings and keep forgiving as things continued to happen, but I kept thinking...
According to Matt 10:35 - "For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." ...it seems like taking a stand for God and disassociating with those who are so clearly of this world, based on...
their actions, seems to be in line with the thinking at 1 Cor 5: 9-13, since they indeed do claim to be believers, my mother especially.
The second dream is far more simple to explain. That grandmother in the dream, developed Dementia and what seemed to be Alzheimer& #39;s, just a few short years later. Her husband is also one who participated in stealing from me with my Dad and his half-sisters.
The cause and events leading up to her losing lucidity are very telling in themselves, but also a very long story I& #39;m not yet ready to talk about...
In conclusion I now feel differently about that first dream. I now feel that "You must choose" was in reference to me choosing God over this world. Because right now both sides seem like there isn& #39;t any hope in sight, people who don& #39;t know the scriptures...
...may think God is allowing all of the horrible things happening in the world right now to keep happening. From a faithless standpoint, both sides of that lava river look barren, because it is faith alone that allows us to walk the Path of the invisible God, because we believe..
...not just because we& #39;ve seen miracles in our own lives, once we came to understand and apply the wisdom in the bible, and not just because biblical events can be cross-referenced and verified with Archaeological discoveries and historical accounts, recorded elsewhere. We also..
...can see the flawless logic in God& #39;s word, and the incredible wisdom in Jesus& #39; parables. Those of us who follow the righteous path will not let anything stand in our way of salvation, including family who has chosen the other side. It& #39;s not that we love them any less...
We simply are respecting scriptural guidance which helps us to understand that there are certain things God does not appreciate. One of those things being, association with people who claim to be Christian, and don& #39;t follow the insight written in the bible.
Now having said that. Please do not allow yourself to think I am saying it is right of anyone in any Church to demand that you come to all gatherings, and go preach in door-to-door ministry, in order to remain in good standing with said organization... I don& #39;t think...
I should say, I don& #39;t understand there to be any scriptural backing for such a requirement, and I have been shown by many people what scriptural evidence they feel speaks to the contrary... and conclusively, I feel there& #39;s nothing that says these things are anything...
But a matter of what a person feels they need to be giving. I don& #39;t believe there is any scriptural guidance that puts it into a minister& #39;s hand, to pressure people to be out in the ministry or at every congregational gathering... that seems counter-intuitive, if anything.
You may have read through this thread and are now thinking that I& #39;m a little loony, but this brings a scripture to mind.
"If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. Either way, Christ’s love controls us"
