Dear John and Doves,
On a Thursday night or rather early Friday morning (11th of
November, 2005) I had a dream in the early hour of the morning.
I dreamt I was sitting
on the floor leaning against a couch or small maybe twin bed. Next
to me on my right were a group of people all
asleep on the floor. I thought I should pray for them and
started to pray. (The thought came to me that I should probably get
on my knees but then I further thought that Jesus accepts our prayers in
whatever position we are in.) I had no idea what I was praying for
but suddenly found myself go into a grieving and travailing prayer.
I sobbed and cried before the Lord praying in the Spirit.
Suddenly I woke up and it was daylight. The heaviness and travailing
were still heavy on my heart like I had been crying. It took me a
minute to realize that my crying was all in the dream and not in my waking
hour. Slowly the memory of my dream came back to me.
As I thought and prayed about the dream further over the next few days
I came to this interpretation.
The coming of the Lord is very, VERY, VERY
SOON! The people lying on the floor next to me were sleeping unaware of His coming and I felt
the grieving of the Lord over His loved ones who were found “sleeping.”
Mark 13:36
“And take heed
to yourselves, lest at anytime your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting,
and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
“For as a snare
shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
“Watch ye therefore,
and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21:34-36.
“For a thousand
years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch
in the night.
Thou carriest them
away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like
grass which groweth up.
“ In the morning
it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
“For we are
consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
“Thou has set
our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
“For all our
days are passed away in thy wrath; we spend our years as a tale that is
told.”
Psalm 90:4-9
These are the scriptures it seemed that the Lord gave to me.
In Jesus,
