Many of my encounters have started with a dream and a little leap of faith.
To Justify what I am going to say, I'd like to give you guys a verse.
Acts 2:17-18 ~"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon All flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy~"
I first started dreaming when I asked God to give me a dream. It started in 10th grade, A girl named Jenise used to tell me the craziest dreams she had with God, I thought they were beautiful and I couldn't help but ask God to give me some too. I remember her telling me "Its not just for me, but for you too, if you want one just ask God" and so I did. I'm not sure why but I had alot of faith in her small few words.
That week I prayed and I prayed. And one day, Boom! I had a dream. Till this day I still remember that dream. Its very long, but to summarize it, it had to do with the Red moon, Hell, Heaven, Jesus and the disciples. It was such a beautiful and fascinating dream!
But this chapter isn't really about that. It was about that prayer. I think being the young girl that I was, I was expecting God to just give me a dream and that was the end of it.
But, I was wrong. Completely and utterly wrong.
I was desperate for a dream, but little did I know what I was getting myself into.
I'd like to let you in on a crazy encounter.
On May 11 2016 (my birthday btw)
I had a dream with a woman. She was crying, and in much pain. In this dream I was watching everything from a spiritual perspective. I could see everything, but no one could see me. She was on the ground crying and crying when suddenly, she was furious! She was angry, she was screaming and yelling, almost immediately, People started to come, and try to calm her down. She wasn't having it. The last thing she said was "you don't know what its like to have a kid with a rapist" and that was the end of it.
I woke up feeling very odd about this dream, but honestly thought nothing of it. I pushed it aside as a very random thing.
But the next day, Thursday May 12 2016 I had went to worship practice. Apparently, we had invited a guest. A family from Puerto Rico. I was playing the keys when all of a sudden I stopped. The lady that had walked in looked exactly like the one I had dreamt of. The moment my eyes mets hers I remembered the dream from the other day. A small still voice (HolySpirit) told me "that is her" Now mind you, this is not my first time dealing with a situation like this. I will tell you the first time maybe in the next chapter, I don't know why but I really would like to tell you this one first.
As I am looking at this lady, another woman comes in from behind her. There's that voice again "that is her" The two woman who just walked in look exactly like twins. They literally looked exactly alike, of course they had there own differences, but the similarities in there faces were insane. Now my only concern is, Who is the lady from my dream? The night continues with worship and prayer, as everyone is in prayer, my mind is in a merry go round. "I only saw one lady in my dream...but there is two in real life, who is the lady?"
As everyone finished praying for each other, I stopped playing the keys and decided to go for the first lady that walked in.
I know what your thinking. This is a dream? Why are you making this a big deal. Honestly, If I were to give you a reasonable answer, I don't know myself. Call it a gravitational pull, but I simply felt the curiosity to ask. If I didn't ask I think I would be living in regret.
I pulled the pastors wife aside, and I told her like it is."I don't know what to say, but to say I had a dream with you the other day"
Crazy enough, she did not give me an odd look.
"What did you dream about?" she asked.
"I don't mean to be disrespectful, and I don't mean to burst any of your personal bubbles, but I had a dream that you were raped and you were really sad about it"
She smiled and said "sweety, I can tell you that God has given you a gift, and that this dream is from God himself"
Mind you that this is the first time we have ever met each other.
I dont know why but I was happy, yet sad all at the same time. Happy that I took the leap of faith and went to her, sad that her being raped really did occured.
She told me how she was abused and at times when she layed in bed it would make her sad, but regardless she knew that God has always been with her.
I told her that I was sorry, and I asked for her forgiveness. "Forgive me, because I wasn't sure if I should tell you this dream"
And she said "why?"
"Because I wasn't sure if the dream was about you or the lady that came with you"
"What do you mean?"
"The dream does not end there, you see, you were sad but then all of a sudden you were mad and angry, you said "you don't know what its like to have a child with your rapist!"
She looks at me and says "truly, this is a dream from God"
As if taking turns I asked "what do you mean?"
And she said that the other lady that came with her is her daughter. (no wonder they looked so alike) and that as herself, her daughter was abused too. But the daughter deals with anger because she has a kid with her rapist and actually had to meet with Him tomorrow, which is why she is so furious right now.
She says to me "could you please pray for my daughter, seeing as God has shown you these secret things"
I nodded and immediately said yes.
I went to speak with her and told her about the dream. She begins to cry, and I told her that God had everything in His hands, that if she would just continue to trust in Him, the Lord would take all that pain and hurt from her. She cried and we prayed and we finally said our goodbyes. I gave her the biggest bear hug I could possibly give to a person and that was the end of that.
Few months later, I heard they were both doing alot more better. I saw this with my own eyes.
And that was that. I remember feeling alot of things that day. My heart continues to go out to them from time to time, and at the end of the day the Glory will always go to my Father who not only looks out for me but for every other person who is struggling. All they have to do is ask for Help, and He will be there.
Whether you believe this to be true or not, all I can say is that it is true, and you have the choice and the free will to believe Whether its real or not.
Regardless though, I will continue to share with you guys the way the Lord moves in unexpected and unforgettable ways. I pray Holyspirit that you would touch every person that reads this. Lord, have an encounter with them. Love you guys! God bless!
