All Saints Day 2008

My series of experiences began with a dream in which I was on an island in the ocean that was shaking like an earthquake was happening. In the dream I knew that destruction was somehow coming to this island.

Over the course of the following year I paid attention to the news waiting to see what the practical outlay of this dream would be. According to FoxNews.com, at the end of September 2009, “South Pacific islanders experienced four major earthquakes within 11 hours.” An earthquake caused a tsunami that hit Samoa, American Samoa and other islands and killed up to a couple of hundred people on September 29th, 2009. Later on October 1st, 2009 several quakes hit Indonesia that killed over a thousand more.  Another earthquake hit Indonisia on Friday 10-23.

I awoke from that dream and felt like God said that this year wisdom is going to be a staple for us and that it is going to be over flowingly abundant. I think there are many places in our personal lives, ministries and jobs where in the past we have prayed and asked God for wisdom, but now God is saying to us that over the course of this next year we are entering into a special season where the supernatural wisdom of God is going to be come easily.

God said to me that we could be “united and satisfied” and I felt that this applied specifically to working in teams. I feel like God is desiring to multiply the manifestation of his presence and power through us and that he is saying that if we will team up with others, then the result will be that we will be satisfied in what we see God do through us as a team.

God said to bring our “past and final plans to the light again.” I feel like there are plans that people within our body have been earnestly working on for the last year in personal lives, ministry and in business that God is continuing to restructure and tweak for his purposes. Just as God gave detailed plans for building the temple he desires to give us detailed plans for our lives, businesses and ministries.

I heard God say, “freedom from misperceptions and miscommunications.” I feel this is something that God wants us to be specifically praying for ourselves. I think that as God moves in an increasing measure there will be ample opportunity for people to have a wrong perception or misunderstand what God is doing in our midst. Again I simply feel that if we will pray, God will protect us in this area.

God brought the scripture to mind, “Behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone opens the door I will come in and sup with him.” The picture I get is that there are going to be specific times in which God himself will initiate with us. When we respond to him his presence is going to come in, in a fresh way.

I had a very vivid vision of a bone that was burned and broken. I felt like God was saying through the picture that his fire was going to come and when it did he was going to break open some structures (bone).

Lastly I heard an anxious and stressed out voice say to me, “Chop away with your gifts.” Then a strong, power filled voice said,” No, we have replacement gifts.” The picture I got was that if we continue ministry, business and life expecting to use the same gifts and do the same things that have gotten us this far without improving our skills, then we can expect to become stressed out and tired. But God desires to give us new gifts and new skills for all areas of life that will be much more effective and life giving.
