Hello, John and Doves,
I was considering the subject of visions and dreams, and I thought of the following passage:
6Yet
when I am among mature believers, I do speak with words of wisdom, but
not the kind of wisdom that belongs to this world or to the rulers of
this world, who are soon forgotten. 7No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God
—his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. 8But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord. 9That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him.”
10But
it was to us that God revealed these things by his Spirit. For his
Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets. 11No
one can know a person’s thoughts except that person’s own spirit, and
no one can know God’s thoughts except God’s own Spirit. 12And we have received God’s Spirit (not the world’s spirit), so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us.
1 Corinthians 2:6-12 NLT
Amen!
~Blessings,
Mike

"These Dreams"
Elizabeth's
dream prompted me to share a dream I had last week (Feb. 3 thru 5 - not
sure what day). I did ponder the dream when I woke up, but am not sure
if it is from the Lord.
Dream: I was shopping with someone for a
wedding dress. I was not the bride nor in the wedding party. I remember
the bride being very excited; other than that, don't remember much of
the first part of the dream.
After we were done shopping, two
people joined me. They were both dressed in white, did not speak to me,
and followed behind me about 2 steps on either side. Leaving the bride
behind, I started wandering through a huge shopping mall. As I passed a
dress shop on my right, I noticed it had tea and short length wedding
dresses on display; there were four. I knew they were white, but the
lightning made them look gold.
I sighed and said (to myself), I
will never ever shop for a dress for myself. My companions said nothing
but continued to follow me.
For some reason, I felt a strong
urge to turn to my right and look behind me. The mall corridors were
gone. I was looking at a display window with wedding dresses and next to
each dress a veil. I did not move, but I continued to turn my head, the
display extended far too my right - with many many full length wedding
dresses and veils. These dresses appeared whiter, but still had a golden
glow. The veils had a crown headpiece; each decorated differently, some
with precious stones.
Now I am aware there are other people
around me; all accompanied by one or two people in white. A man came
from behind me and headed to the display (he had two men dressed in
white following him). The window evaporated and he went directly to one
dress. When he touched the dress, it transformed into a white robe and
crown (no veil). He took it down and held it up; talking to the two
individuals with him. One of the individuals made a motion with his hand
that the man should turn around (like they wanted to make sure it would
fit or something - though the man never put the robe on). The other
individual in white shook his heard in a "yes" motion; saying, "that is
the one(?)".
The man had a huge smile on his face and he
departed the store, passing on my right, again with his companions in
tow. As he passed, I heard him ask, "can I put it on now". The two men
in white looked at each other and appeared to chuckle. The one closest
to me said, "no, not yet".
I woke up.
Maybe too much jalapeno sauce on my burrito for dinner -- or maybe just getting home sick? It WAS a fun dream though.
