visionary dream & answered prayer
first the answered prayer:
since school ended and summer started i've been praying to God asking Him to teach me how to pray... and this india team i went with my eemo and mrs.chang and when i watched them pray i realized that praying wasn't just words that was coming out of their mouth but it was their faith that was flowing out of their mouths. they prayed with their hearts and talked to God as if He knew everything they said even if we weren't making any sense in our own brains.
so yes. that was lesson numero 1
secondly the visionary dream. its kinda long so if you want to continue reading it.. then good for you :)
so 8.6.10... sean and julian's mom shared during the morning devotions and talked about how she received the baptism from the Holy Spirit and how she really met God the day before. i think it was that night i had a dream and it was really vivid when i woke up (8.7.10) and it stayed in my head for like a week after that. basically my dream (according to samo and mrs. chang) was about a revival in japan.
i am at the beach.. in a hotel/dormitory like building.. i am with 8 other people.. 2 girls and 6 boys all of different races.. but of those there was a japanese (?)/asian girl who stood out to me the most.. as in i can remember her the most.. i am sitting by a wooden window and look to my left where i can see people playing on the beach and small waves crashing ashore.. in the distance is a wave maybe half a centimeter high from my view point... 3 seconds later i can feel rain and the distant wave becomes about 1 foot high and i scream "ahhh haeeundae! everyone close the windows!" ** fyi - haeeundae is a korean movie about a tsunami that hits korea** and then i tell everyone, "stop and run to the basement!" and as i run down the setting changes to an army base, and the basement area is guarded with soldiers and is made out of cement blocks.. from this underground basement i can see everything that is happening outside.. as if the basement was like an attic.. i see the wave hit land and buildings and everything goes dark.. i black out.. when i wake up again, i am still in the basement but this time alone and in front of me are 2 big doors.. i open them and enter a dimly lit hotel lobby made of wood, amber and gold.. as i walk down the hallway i see on my left is a big conference room with many people and is brightly lit, on my right is the hotel lobby and is dimly lit but carries the biggest glass/diamond/gold chandelier i have ever seen in my life.. as i continue down the dark hallway with light reflecting off of the amber floors, i come to the end of the hallway where i stand in front of 2 huge doors.. i open them and outside i feel like i am in japan.. i see majestic mountains and beautiful trees with blossoms falling as if it were snow.. in the distance on my left is a brown pagoda and to my right is a white temple with some cultural festival taking place, people are in costume and tourists are there taking pictures of not only the show but the scenery as well... however this is all on top a cliff.. and i can see the end of the cliff... it kind of looks like i am on top of one of the floating mountains from the movie avatar.... i gaze at the beauty and it takes my breath away... all of a sudden there is a huge wave, bigger than the one before, so big that i can't see it in one gaze.. and its coming down... i scream and as it almost crashes down on me i wake up.
and that was my dream. so i learned that in dreams waves are powerful meanings for renewal, revival, etc. and this dream became mrs. chang's confirmation dream for her vision from God about a huge and sudden revival in japan.. and i pray for it now. but it was that day i also learned to really pray and heal the leg of a hindi woman though God. but thats for next time :)
