Had Another Dream

I had this dream tonight and thought I'd share it with y'all. No, Mick Jagger wasn't in this one, in case you are wondering. Anyway.................

I was with my Mom and we were in this bank building. I guess she needed to do some banking or something. This wasn't your ordinary bank building though. The building itself was "U" shaped and at least two stories high. The thing that was different about this bank was that it was also some sort of retail store, or maybe a welcome center for tourists, because there were things in the bank that could be bought. The ceiling was two stories high and the bank part was in the short part of that "U" I described. Anyway, I got bored, waiting for my Mom, so I started strolling around this bank, looking at the different things they had to sell. I ended up on the inside part of the short part of this "U" looking out these huge windows that stretched from the floor up to the ceiling. What caught my attention is that other people were at the windows commenting on the weather outside. It was dark, kind of like it is before a storm. I could see the dark clouds swirling outside as it started raining. I decided to go back and see if my mom was done and walked away from these windows. I got maybe 30 feet or so when all of a sudden one of the windows separated at the top and I heard this loud swooshing, rushing sound from the wind. It sounded almost like a train.

As I looked behind me, suddenly that whole area where I had just been sort of shattered completely and I realized the building was being hit by a tornado. There was nothing I could grab on to so I started to run, only to get caught up in this sort of vacuum that was sucking me up towards the ceiling. It wasn't violent but I was definitely being sucked up straight up towards the ceiling. In my dream I thought, "I am going to die here," and as I got closer to the ceiling I woke up, knowing that something was going on and the Lord was trying to communicate something to me.I started praying and asked God to show me the rest of the dream. I wanted to know if I would die in this dream.

As I was praying I found myself at a place where I was asleep, and back in the dream, but could hear myself speaking. For a moment I was suspended, up near the ceiling and I could see debris flying all around me. Paper, wood, desks, office supplies, and people, all swirling round and round, helpless under the power of this tornado. But there I was, suspended in the air, a few feet from the ceiling, just watching all this go on around me. It was at this point that I found myself talking in tongues, something that doesn't happen very often for me anymore.

Almost as quickly as it happened I found myself being lowered back down to ground level, in the same strong vertical way I had been taken up. Not too fast, but not real slow. I heard these words being repeated in my head over and over again, "I'm a survivor. I'm a survivor. I'm a survivor."

Afterwards, I laid there for awhile just thinking about my life, my time in the apostolic church, all the different things, both past and current, that I've been through, and I realized that I will survive this current attempt at shaking my faith in God just like every other attempt at ripping me away from Him. Nothing has ever been able to separate me from from my faith in Him. Even before coming to the apostolic church I can't ever remember a time when I didn't know about Jesus and had faith in Him, and I can remember back as far as being 3 years old. Thank you Jesus for never letting me go.

I feel that there is more to your dream than you have seen here. I will pray about it.

Where was your Mother at the end of the dream?...Your mother may represent the church - the church you were in when you felt secure. Then the storm came and brought all the uncertainty. You knew when you were with your Mother that you were in the right place and that you would be rewarded - as in a bank. You could make a withdrawal of funds from what you had deposited.

Being in the smaller part of the "U" may represent that you are looking in two directions. You heard other peole talk about "what's on the outside" - but when you took time to look on the outside you saw what's outside the church - the storm, destruction. Sometimes you even want to believe there is no hope for you, but deep down you realize that you ARE a survivor. You had to repeat that to yourself to keep yourself steady and hopeful. That is a very hopeful dream. You need to hang on to it and repeat to yourself that you are a SURVIVOR!

The storm can invade our man made buildings, but the storm can't get inside of us because

According to Romans 8:38-39:

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
