"Denise's purse dream"
Over 10 years ago I had a similar dream of losing my purse and all
identification. Through a series of events, things were gradually
taken from me until I ended up with nothing at all. Nice house,
cars, personal effects all gone, family scattered and finally purse
snatched so I even lacked any ID at all. All gone. This took
a few years to finally sweep me clean of any evidence I was a human on
the planet. During this very distressing time there were dreams of
being restored, getting back all that was stolen from me and much more.
I still am not fully restored, but am much better off and am watching
each day for restitution to commence. It's a trial, just like
Job's. Shall we curse God and die? I'd always thought being a
Christian American would somehow make my Christian walk fluffier and
candy coated. After all, Job was old testament stuff and we have a much
better covenant, right? Job was the richest man of his day but God
had no problem stripping him of everything. They say ten is the number
of completion. I don't recall exactly when I had my dream but in
November it will be exactly 7 years since I walked down the street with
only the clothes on my back. Perhaps a tsunami, which many have
dreamed of will be the impetus that causes you, and/or others to lose
the possessions that we often feel frame our lives. Let me tell
you, if this happens to you, you can expect many emotions; depression,
anger, bitterness, bewilderment. Ever get mad at God? I
never did until I felt He'd thrown me into the garbage can and walked
away. I suspect we all have something to pay, all differing
amounts depending on where we've been, done and what is planned for
us. Always remember to repent and plea the blood of Jesus over
your sin after a praying temper tantrum and accusing Jesus of forgetting
about you, even if you have to repent every 10 minutes. Don't ask me
how I know. We are called to suffer with Jesus and the bible talks
of "rejoicing" in the suffering. I found that to be easier said
than done. A good prayer is, "may God's plan for me be fulfilled
to completion and satan's plan cast into the pit. Pray now for
protection and provision for whatever is coming because we can't stop
it. No matter what it looks like, remember that Jesus loves you
and will care for you.
