Dreams As An Anchor For Faith
Often humans will not understand what God is trying to get done, so sometimes God will give a dream to show man what to do. Later that same dream may be used by God to help us to have faith that it was God who gave us the plan.
In 2001, I had a dream where I was building a house. I was shown the area around the construction site. But at that time I was not planning to build a house. I lived in Clovis, NM (USA) where I was helping my mother. She died at end of January, 2002, and I made plans to move to Lubbock. I met with realtor who showed me existing properties but I couldn't forget the dream where I was building house. So I met with a contractor and was shown building sites in Lubbock.
One lot looked exactly like the area I had been shown in a dream the previous year so I bought that lot and built a house on that lot.
Later more desirable lots opened up for building in Lubbock but each time I thought of how I would like to live in those areas, I was reminded of that dream where I was shown the construction site where this Lubbock house was built. This caused me to settle down and know that God had selected this place for me to live.
And we have the following scripture telling us that God puts us on the earth at the time set for us and God puts us in the exact place where we are living.
Acts 17:26 (NIV: Original translation) ...
HE (God) determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
In the 1980's, I was traveling all over the United States to cities where I was on radio. I would rent meeting rooms at hotels or at convention centers and meet with radio audience.
Then in 1982, I had a dream showing me great danger for me if I went out as I had been doing. And I heard these words in that dream. "Don't go until you see Exodus 15."
Immediately, I cancelled all meetings that had been planned for that year and the next year.
A woman said to me, "But you must go out ... If you go out and have meeting they will give money ... but if you don't go out you will lose money."
I replied: "God has shown me not to go out so I'm not going." (Though offerings decreased there was no problem concerning money. I had everything I needed as I stayed at home. The expenses were less.)
