Amazed and Dazed at the greatness Of God
Job 33:15-16
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night,
When deep sleep falls upon men,
While slumbering on their beds,
16 Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction.
Every day I am so amazed at our God!!! He loves us with an unconditional love and his mercy is new every morning! I was like to share with you a short testimony about God’s love.
Yesterday, 10/22 I had a very trying and difficult day. I was glad the day was over! Last night before I went to bed, I prayed once again to God about my very difficult trying day, and immediately I fell asleep. As I was sleeping, I had a short dream! In this dream, it was almost like I was transported or ascended to an unknown place, and a man, (I couldn’t see his face) came up to me and hugged me, covering me with His love and wouldn’t let go. It was like His love lit up my inner being, and excitement rushed through my veins and happiness flowed through every part of my body. As he was hugging me, I begin to smile and I was filled with delight and wonder, contented and unrestrained joy. As I woke up from this dream carefree, free of worry, trouble and care, suddenly it hit me like a ton of bricks that I once again, had a “Encounter with the living God while I was sleeping!” My heart was pounding, and I could not think straight, and I was trying to process what just happened! It seemed so real as if it was not a dream, but it was happening.
As I am writing this in my journal and writing it on my post, Tears are coming like a tsunami. I believe with all my heart that the man in the dream was Jesus (in fact I know that it was) and He let me know that I was not alone and that He was with me and that He loved me. Better yet, He even took the memory of those difficulty, heartaches and obstacles away from me. All I can think about now is His love for me and for all His children. “Oh, how He loves us so!”
I read that someone once said, “Don’t cry because it’s over, be excited because it happened!!” I actually do want to cry because the dream is over but yet I am excited that my Jesus came to me in my dream!! It didn’t feel like a dream, it felt like it really happened! It felt so real, even more real than this world!
Do you know Jesus? If you don’t, you can at this very moment. In His word it says Romans 10:9 Version (NKJV)
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. If you want to be saved, repeat after me, “Jesus come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. Forgive me for my sins. I know that you died on the cross and in three days, you were raised from the dead and now is sitting on the right hand of the Father interceding on my behalf. This day forward, I turn from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light and I will follow you all the days of my life until forever.” If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart, you are saved! You have been written in the Lamb’s book of life and all of heaven is having a party on your behalf. You are now a child of the living God! Now go and sin no more. Read the bible every day and find a good church that preach the word of God. God is calling you to Himself. Please answer His call.
