The Dream
I am nearer to 80 years old than 70, so this began many years ago. This is a true event in my life.
I was raised by a single Mom. We lived out in the country and did not have a car. I don’t remember my mother reading the Bible to me or telling me Bible stories. We did not go to church as it was too far to walk. One day when I was in the third grade some of the other children came to school and said the world was going to end at noon. They seemed happy and excited about this, I was terrified. They lived in town and could go to church and certainly must be right with God. I knew I was not. I was so happy when noon passed and nothing happended.
After this I had the dream. Jesus came and was taking people to heaven. He did not come all the way to the ground, but was up in the air. And people were flying up to meet Him, but not everyone was going. Those not going, which included me, were reaching up to Him, but we remained where we were. Sometimes I was standing on the ground and sometimes I was in the ground. I always woke up, so frightened, but I didn’t know what to do to make things right between myself and Jesus.
Time passed with the dream reaccuring from time to time. Always the same. I married and worked in my husband’s business. One day a patron came in and started to share Jesus with me. He said he didn’t know why he was doing this, but he understood that I was very interested. He told me that God loved me and wanted things right between us. He said Jesus had taken my sins and died for me, and that if I would pray amd acknowledge my sins, and ask God to forgive me that He would not only forgive me, but would someday take me to Heaven to be with Him. I did this, I did not experience a light as Paul did and have found out since then my experience is most common, generally we just feel so unburdened. But God did forgive me and changed my life. Since asking God to forgive me and asking Jesus into my life I have on occasion still had the dream, but now I am always going. I still wake up when I have the dream, but now it is with great joy.
The Bible tells us we will have dreams. Everything the patron told me was true and scripture affirms it. That Jesus comes and takes some people to Heaven and not others is true, also that He does not touch the earth at this time is also true according to scripture.
If you want things right between you and God, and you acknowledge your sins, go to God in prayer and ask. He sent Jesus to die for you. God loves you and has already demonstrated His love for you. He will forgive you, He wants things right between you and Himself.
