Ok, So I am going to tell a story of what happened to me one night when I had just become a Christian and I would like to know what others have dreamt or seen… I had converted about 6 months prior so I was a baby in all sense of the word. Still in the “what does God want from me?” and “What is my purpose?” stage of Christianity.
I was recently married with a son on the way which made things even more complicated and I was constantly praying about what it was I should be doing. So one night in May of 2009 I went to bed as normal; prayed and watched a little t.v. to get me tired. I don’t remember being brought up or whisked away or anything, I was just all of a sudden in a place I had never been. The place was dark all around and it had the presence of like a racing track. In the middle of the “track” was a giant wall in a huge oval shape, almost as if it was protecting a small city,covered in ivy and vines. I looked ahead and saw a figure walking ahead of me on the right side. Immediately I knew Who it was. I had an overwhelming sense that I knew it was Jesus.
I only saw the back of Him and I started walking with Him. Now during the whole dream I am walking about 2-3 steps behind and to the left of Him. I never saw His face. So here I am and He starts talking to my thoughts, doesn’t say anything out loud until the end. What was I to think or say to my Creator? I felt completely unworthy to say anything and there was a little fear come into my mind. As soon as this emotion hits me; “Don’t be afraid I am with you”…Whoa! Nothing but peace came over me.
So after every “turn” we would make around this wall, He would turn the scenery into different places. A rainforest, desert, etc.. And when new places entered my mind, for instance, a tundra, it was immediately changed but I felt no cold and it was really awesome. So this goes on for a while and as I am going I can see through the wall on my right through little cracks and holes. All I see is a HUGE water fall and pool where animals are laying and drinking and just relaxing. I remember seeing what resembled a giraffe, lion, hippo, and birds.
Anyways, after a few more “laps” around I start to notice about 50 yards behind us start walking pretty much everyone I had ever known. All this time He is answering my thoughts about everything that pops in. For example, “Where are we?” and His reply was “You are with Me”…We continue to walk and every now and then I turn around to see who else has been added to the growing people walking behind us, and He gets upset and I hear in my head: “Why do you keep looking back? You are with Me” So I never looked back in the entire dream because I could sense that was a “Quit paying attention to them”
…After a while when we had hit a straight path and were walking, to the left of me I saw 2 enormous doors, black, chains locking them and smoke seeping out of the bottom. Immediately the fear came back; I knew it led to hell. As soon as the fear came in “Don’t be afraid of that place! You won’t ever pass through those doors” Talk about relief and comfort coming in like a mac truck…So we’re getting close to the end of the dream and He stops in front of a door, and the last conversation, out loud, went like this: Me: “What do you want from me?” He said to my mind “You will go preach My Gospel” and I say “But Lord I am shy” and He ends with “You will get over it and I will be with you”…Now the whole “You will get over it” wasn’t a nice “hey you can over come that” it was more of a stern” Get over it stop making excuses” type deal…I woke up and started the next day…And about 6 months later my 2nd dream comes……
Romans 12:2 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 1:11 – In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
Friend, you must pray with fervour that the Holy Spirit lead you to achiever YOUR purpose in life according to HIS WILL..
daily claim His blood and ask for wisdom and you will recieve.
I feel you are strongly blessed and definitely you have ministry in the future. Cling close to the risen Christ and remember “Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.”
We have to leave the world, taking up His cross.. and follow Him. the rest He will do.
that is why He said to you to forget those who you know.
You need to participate in good fellowship, but more than that to submit to the Lord, so He KNOWS you are doing so, then He will guide you. You dont need more than that.
The Pinch of Salt that you should take dreams with is this information: the Lord is the author of PEACE, not confusion.
A dream that terrorizes you or confuses you in a bad way is not of Him.
I agree with you in Prayer : Father Jehovah, our Jeirah! who provides all we need and more…guide Lance to his purpose according to Your will, heavily and mightily. Holy Spirit sweep through his life , removing anything that is not from you. Jesus cover us with your blood and Lord we submit to you.
In Jesus name we ask. Amen.
I feel the anointing. You are blessed, friend. Be encouraged. amen.
Hi LanceB55! Thank you for sharing your dream and certainly, when something like that happens, we know it’s not the same as a normal “dream” as to say! I also had an experience but it was visions, then dreams then a physical healing experience, seeing Jesus and experience His wonderful presence , hearing Him talking to me, being physically touched and healed! That was on the 5th of July 2011 – still no headaches as from that day!Those who know me well, can’t deny because they know how I suffered, but still it was/is a overwhelming experience! All glory to God Jesus Christ, I am still praising Him for that day as it was amazing,mind boggling special!!! Nobody can take it away, but even some of my closest friends and family still can’t believe that it was reality.As Jesus said to you, don’t look back, I got the same message! We must live in and by faith that Jesus Christ is the Lord our Savior who has risen from death and is now sitting on the right hand of God His Father, our Father Almighty in Heaven!
If you go to the section “Healing” on date 29th of January 2013, and read my testimony( or rather ,the testimony God gave to me), it may reveal more to you and your situation!
I really believe God is still doing miracles, speak to us through dreams, visions and various other ways we don’t even realize! The “fear” you experienced might have been the same type Petrus struggled with, when he took his eyes off Jesus when he was walking on the water! He became scared of the storm, looking at the waves and wind. In some sense that can refer to us, looking at darkness and works of darkness and not keeping our focus on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God didn’t give us a spirit of fear and fear in the negative sense, does represent Satan and his works! Fear for our Lord Jesus, is something else and refers to the Greatness of God Almighty and how little we are in front of His Pure Majesty!That is a Holy fear and will bring feelings of awe and amazement together with something like “Oh, Holy God, you are soooo BIG, GREAT, and we are so small and “unworthy” in ourselves!But knowing we are His children through His Son Jesus Christ and that God loves us (His children) soooo much, will bring us on our knees,bending down and worshipping and praising Him! We will also experience His love, peace, joy etc.
That is just how I feel and believe. I agreed with Cheerylysa’s prayer for you and believe God is already using you! Open your ears, heart and live your everyday live for Jesus Christ! He will guide you! Be patient and wait on the Lord! Study His Word and follow Him! May God bless you LancEB55. In the Name of Jesus! Amen!
I believe that Jesus is telling you through your dream that when you follow His will, He’ll be with you and will help you. You don’t have to worry about what people will say or do because He will protect you and won’t let anything happen to you unless it be for your good and for the good of others. You may feel shy and a bit uncertain but remember this: “God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” God gives us the ability to do His will when we decide to follow it.
God gave me a calling that I thought I couldn’t do at all because of my shyness, but when I decided to do it He showed me that He was with me in it. He also blessed me in many ways too. You can read my story in the “Prayer” section of this blog called “Sharing the Gospel Through Blogging.” I know that this is different than physically going to places in mission work, but it is still a mission.

I encourage you to draw closer to God through prayer and the reading/studying of His Word as you prepare to do what He has called you to do.
May God bless you!
