Much of my story – my dysfunctional story – and the story of Carl and I, is chronicled in my book, THE DREAM. So in this story, I will tell another part, which I did not record in THE DREAM.
I was 40 years old at the time of this incident. I was attending a church, and on one particular Sunday, I was given a prophetic word by the pastor’s wife. God said through her, “I will take you beyond what you can imagine, you will look back and be amazed. I will prove it to you.” …
Carl grew up in a suburb of Detroit, in a typical American household. His parents had a good marriage and provided a stable homelife for Carl and his four siblings. He describes his childhood as idyllic in many ways, with many good memories of friends and family, and very fond memories of his dad, who died at the age of 69 when Carl was only 29. His dad was a hardworking man, kind but firm. He loved the woods, and he loved to fish.
Carl’s dad had grown up in the hills of Kentucky with 6 siblings. His own dad (Carl’s grandfather) had been a Pentecostal preacher; however,…
There is only one inspiration for THE DREAM:
“For God may speak in one way or in another. Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instructions.”
(Job 33:14-16)
The day that the prophetic dream came, my “instructions” were sealed. I had to choose: HIS way, or my own.
And HE alone, wanted this story told. I was happy to keep it all to myself. For six years, as I sought HIM, and as I wrote, I questioned the necessity of putting it in print for all to read.
But then one day, as I thought on one of the miraculous events that I have recorded in the book, I heard HIS kind voice say:
“Will you keep this to yourself?”
And once again, my “instructions” were sealed.
This is a true story of a prophetic dream – a message sent from heaven to the author of this book. The acquaintance of the author (a young woman) who received the prophetic
dream, was to give the message directly to the author.
The dream, with its obscured messages, was more accurate than what the young woman could have known. The dream would prove itself, as it would come to pass in four years’ time.
The young woman who had the dream, and the author of this book, were never close. They were merely acquainted through a church both had attended at one time. The young woman had moved out of state and there was no longer contact between the two of them. But heaven is not hindered by such obstacles. Heaven finds a way when someone is seeking answers from the one true God.
Many of the details of this story were written in real-time, as events unfolded. This is an inspirational story with a message from God, not only to this author, but to all who pick up this book and read it. God did not exist only in times past. HE is still working miracles today. This is the story of one of those miracles.
