"California dream, vision and Word."


Hello everyone,

I was in Los Angeles Sept. 13-18th for a conference and to visit relatives.
I want to preface what I dreamt and saw with the fact that I rarely dream.

During the night of the 13th, I had a vivid dream of seeing a store front or
restaurant with its windows shattered and empty. It was filled with debris
and dirt. During the night of the 14th I dreamt much the same as the 13th
except that I had an overwhelming sense that pieces of buildings or land
were missing. There was a great sense of loss. The words void and missing
keep rolling around my mind. During this day my wife, son and I were out in
the town and I couldn't help but grieve. My spirit was so heavy for people
that all I could say to myself was that they don't know Jesus. I kept asking
how we can reach them. Even Christians are compromising their life's by
siding with what's OK with the world. How do we get to them Lord? The day of
the 15th we went to see my wife's great aunt who is 94yrs. of age and still
mentally sharp as a tack. We have been trying for years for her to turn her
life over to the Lord but sadly she is very stubborn and the views she has
are the ones she wants to keep. PLEASE pray for her. She never has told us
if she has given her heart to the Lord. We pray she has. That day we were
conversing with her in the living room when out of the clear blue she said
that she wont have to worry about much in the future because of an
earthquake that is coming. I asked her where she had heard this and she said
she didn't hear it from anyone but feels it deep in her bones. At that point
there was a marked quickening of the Spirit in that place. The next day, the
16th, I continually asked that Lord what was on his mind and heart. He
rarely gives me scripture this way but he gave me Mark 7:7 as I was driving.
Mark &;& says, (NIV)They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules
taught by men."

I give this for your discernment and prayer.

YBIC,
