Once Upon A Dream

… my favorite song and scene from Disney’s “Sleeping Beauty”. And the pink dress was my favorite! But the dreams we have today are a far cry from dancing around a forest with colorful (and tame) wild animals who have stolen a prince’s clothes, leading him straight to us and our happily ever after. Aren’t they?

Yet I wonder how many believers out there are spoken to by God in dreams? Please leave a comment on this post to share your story.

The Lord has used dreams to speak to me before, and I wonder if my most recent vision is a form of unconscious communication. On Sunday night (Feb. 8, 2009), I dreamed that I was in a hospital surrounded by people. I believe some of these individuals were doctors or nurses because they kept telling me to “push”. My response was that I didn’t feel the need to push, yet. Then I woke up. Weird!

Since I’m not pregnant, nor do I plan to be, I wonder if my dream is a message telling me that the time of spiritual birth pains has not yet come. Then I read the news, and wonder how that can be true. We must be close to the end times and the second coming of Christ considering all that is happening in the world, today. Well, we certainly are closer than we were when I awoke from this dream, or yesterday, or even closer than when you began reading this. Still, I must admit that my Great Grandmother was also convinced that the church would be raptured in her lifetime! That did not come to pass, but she lived her life the right way: expecting that God would show up - everyday. And show up He did - everyday of her life and mine, and yours, Im guessing.

He still does! I think that we simply get so preoccupied with daily life that we’re not looking for Him. So, when He does show up, we miss His appearance completely. And one day, that trumpet WILL sound and we will all be transformed in the twinkling of an eye as we appear at His side ready for battle like in a Chronicles of Narnia film, ONLY BETTER!!!! If you’re anything like me, you don’t want to miss the second coming. What are you doing to prepare yourself for Christ’s return? Feel free to leave a comment about that, too. :)

The Book of Revelation by Chuck Missler – Hour 21 – Revelation 17-18

Two chapters on Mystery, Babylon.   She is the great whore.   She rides the beast.   She is the mother of harlots.   She is clothed in purple, scarlet and gold.   She reigns over kings of the earth.   She is caressed by the world.   She is sustained by the dragon (Satan). Chuck reminds us that the church of Thyatira is promised to go through the tribulation.   This is how.   If you recall the earlier lessons, the church of Thyatira was called the Medieval Church. Mystery, Babylon isn’t the beast, but she rides the beast.   There are ten clues in chapter 17 regarding her identity:   she’s a prostitute; she has universal influence all over the world; she is seated upon the beast; she is expensively adorned and outwardly attractive; she’s a utensil in God’s service but a counterfeit; she’s a mystery linked with the Babylon of Nimrod; she’s the mother of prostitutes who has spiritual offspring; she’s a persecutor of Christians...

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
