Dear Doves,                                        Today was an extremely trying day, such that when I came home from work, I just lay down for a nap. I had a very vivid dream.  I was in church, and sitting in the congregation, and about to take the pulpit as an evangelist.  I rushed to the stage, and without introduction, began to preach with incredible passion and intensity. I could see myself practically screaming with urgency. I was soaked with sweat, and totally consumed with the message. I heard myself say " you think you can live just any way ".  I was preaching to myself as well as to the audience.  The people were impressed, but I knew they just didn't grasp the situation. I knew they would just go on as before, when they got back home. After the service people came up to me to commend me, but I would not hear of it. I was still so possesed with the dire situation that was upon the world, and the non chalant attitudes of everyone ( including myself ). I woke up from the dream, and was very disturbed.                                          Three years ago, on a Sunday morning in church, I had a vision. I saw two friends of mine ( a couple) in Rome. I saw the date March 23. They were watching a world changing event. His birthday is March 23, and so is mine .                                                Something else has been heavy on my heart and mind the last few days. About 9 yrs. ago, an evangelist , church planter and prophet from South Africa spoke at my church. On Sunday morning he delivered a prophetic word. It was a long message, about America. In it, were the words, "that city in California will go into the sea".  I feel we are on the brink of so many things, and so few have a clue, or just don't care. So many pastors are just preaching a feel good sermon, with no conviction or burden. So many are asleep in the pew.  Doves.......stay awake !!!  Joechappell
