Hi, my name is Phyllis and I’m 17 years old. I don’t really know how long I have been a Christian but I’d like to say since my water baptism in 2014. What I want to share in this testimony is a dream.
I don’t know what particular day or time but when I was a little girl, 5 or 6 years old, God gave me a vision. I was in a white dress and standing opposite me was Jesus, also in white clothing. There was no sound just this kind of quiet peace. Being a little girl, I always retold this vision or what I thought was a dream, depicting Jesus and I holding hands and playing ringa rosy.
When I look back to that vision today, I remember seeing an outside perspective of a little girl (me) lost in the beautiful peace of being with Christ. The feeling never left me. The amazing feeling of contentment and resting, ‘surpass all understanding’ type of peace. The atmosphere heightened that feeling of real, everlasting love I felt in holding Christ hands. It was pure white but with golden light. The last moment I shared with Christ was when I looked into his eyes and the light shone through his face, kind of blinding my sight of him.
At this stage in my life, I feel like I am having doubt about God and the peace he has promised me according to his Word. I am not sure though if that dream was meant for this time in my life. With University and work and reality, I don’t really know what I want. Even more, what my purpose really is in this life.
Please, if anyone has any interpretations to add on this vision please comment your thoughts.
In ending, I know Christ should be the apple of my eye in this short life. Christ is the answer. God is my purpose. And, the Holy Spirit will help me reach my destiny as well for all those following Christ.
God Bless.
God bless you Fleia1 please Youtube or Google a lady by the name of Autumn Mann. She has many messages and teachings on dreams. While although I cannot interpret your dream per se, I do know that anytime you see Jesus in a dream it is not only a big deal because everyone doesn’t experience that, but also the meaning and message is very good! Pray that you find your answers many blessings.
Very humbling vision. Please don’t lose your sight in Christ. I know you are stressed with life and responsibilities, but Christ is always there and is always the answer. I’m not sure what your dream means exactly, but I’m sure if you prayed and asked for signs and interperation from the Holy Spirit, you will get your answer. I too was lost at your age..not sure what I wanted to do with my life and future. It’s ok though! Just live each day, try to do the right thing, pray for guidance, and live. No worries; you are a saved young lady, so God will always bless your footsteps. Do what makes you happy. Good luck and God bless! ?
The little girl in white
Seems swallowed up in night
Of cares, concerns and stress of life…
Who turned away?
Night turns to day
As once again you look My way
And see My eyes of love – I have not moved,
My passion for you can be proved!
fleia1,
It sounds like the Lord was showing you His love for you and causing you to experience the peace that passes all understanding (Phil. 4:7) that only comes from God. And in heaven no less! : )
Jesus said that unless we become as little children we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3) so that would back up your dream that you were a child in heaven.
That dream may be for now, as you said, but it may also be just encouragement for your whole life. You can, and should as the Holy Spirit leads, share that story with others to encourage them in their walk or to help them turn to God. Look at 2 Corinthians 1:4.
So many people think that God doesn’t love them or doesn’t care about them or doesn’t hear them. You know, from your dream, that this is not true. You can share this with a lost and dying world. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you. God loves you. : )
As for your purpose you may not know the exact details from God but looking at His word there are some basic things you can do. Prayer is a big one. Pray for the salvation of souls. Your family, your schoolmates, the people in your town,state, country and even the world. I think that one of this biggest things that many will regret later in life is that they didn’t pray more. The Bible says to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17) and God said that His house will be called a house of prayer (Is. 56:7) for all nations. There are people out there without believing family members or friends so they are not being prayed for by anyone (though the Holy Spirit does pray for all of us. Romans 8:26-27).
Also, and this is a big one, ask God to fill you with His love for others. That you would love others, being empowered by His spirit and His love, the way He does and that you would see people the way He does. You are, we all are, to be motivated by Gods love so that we love perfectly. If you pray for this then He will answer and I promise you , you will not look at other people or yourself or your life the same way ever again. AND you will be able to stand before God one day and tell Him that you loved people and served them while here on earth which is what all Christians are called to do. LOVE NEVER FAILS! 1 Cor. 13:8.
To ask God for His love and to pray guided by His Holy Spirit is not foolishness. It is not lesser work. Things get going, get happening, when we lay the groundwork via prayer and then more of God is shared when we are walking in God’s love and serving others in Gods love while empowered by His love. Not our fallen efforts at love but His supernatural love , the one that is endless and never runs out, pouring out of us because of His Holy Spirit.
Pray for these things and your life and outlook will change. Remember that the enemy comes to kill steal and destroy (John 10:10) and he will try the discourage you and say your life has no purpose but that is not true. You are to love the Lord your God (Luke 10:27-28) and to walk humbly with Him (Micah 6:8) , love others as you love yourself (Mark 12:31) and to serve others (Mark 9:33-37) and be as a little child.
Seek these things and I think things will start falling into place for you. : )
God bless you!
