A Collection of Personal Experiences
Through the years, many astonishing, and sometimes frightening spiritual experiences have passed my way. Frankly, I thought everyone had such experiences, so I just took them in stride and turned them in my mind.
Those times, spoken by the prophet Joel in the Bible, report God saying that after He restores our losses that He will “Pour out his Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike.” (Joel 2:28 NLT) When you get a grip on just that verse alone, someone better be nearby to pull you back down to earth. I started acknowledging that not everyone pays attention to the significance of their dreams and that they just “wave off” any visions that come their way. The Bible succinctly puts it, “…but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life…” (Mark 4:19 NLT)
That is why I have put together this collection of Dreams, Visions, and Insights into God’s Word. I do it as an encouragement. God, indeed, speaks to us. Sometimes it’s for your benefit, and sometimes it’s for the world-at-large. I’ve needed so much healing in my life that most of my experiences are personal – and lead on to become a journey of joy.
When my mother was expecting me, my Aunt Nancy, laid hands on my mom’s swollen belly and dedicated me to God’s service. My mom furthered that blessing by saying that I was her child of joy. Now, in return, I bless them for their deep love and forethought.
So, dear reader, why don’t you just give it a try. Put a pen and tablet by the side of your bed or by your Bible. When the time comes, you’ll know what to write down, and you will be amazed at the conversations you have with your Maker.
I invite you to read the stories of God's amazing work in my life.
