Job 33:15-16.    In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction.
 
Oh Friends, I guess I went to bed yesterday morning with the thought of God’s people coming together heavy on my mind. Consequently, I believe I dreamed that it happened. Now I’m not a hundred percent sure, but yuh know when you have those feelings that something significant happened in your dreams, but you’re not really sure exactly what took place. Well that’s the feeling I experienced when I got up. At first I thought it might be the enemy filling my mind with what seems like a pipe dream, given the truly disappointing witness today amongst God’s people. What with the great disparity between churches, the venomous dissension and total disrespect for each other currently being exhibited. But then I realized that Lucifer wouldn’t even want me to think such traitorous thoughts, much less put them on paper and spread them around the world. So the idea had to come from Almighty God. That lifted my sprits considerably, and caused me to continue with the dream. Wow! I excitedly thought. What a wondrous moment, what a wondrous miracle that would be if all God’s people actually came together to work for the good of His kingdom! It would surely be something to shout from the rooftops to all the world: ‘God’s people are coming together! God’s people are coming together! Glory Hallelujah!’ You’d hear millions of people just crying that out in utter amazement, faith and joy. And all of a sudden, the pace of kingdom building would just miraculously pick up. Now Friends, I know to some of us, God’s people seriously coming together really sounds like a pipe dream, a thoroughly preposterous idea, given the way we’re living at the moment, but is it really such a huge undertaking? I don’t think so. Not if we all got seriously interested, put aside our selfish, petty desires, and began diligently working at it. If Lucifer’s cronies can come together to further the cause of evil, why can’t God’s children do the same to further His purpose of peace and LOVE eh? I think Beelzebub would take a fit, have a veritable heart attack if that was to happen. And our God would certainly bend over backwards to help us make that awesome dream of His come true, where he doesn’t even lose one of His children to the enemy. What a day of rejoicing that would be in both heaven and on earth! The rafters of the world would certainly shake with the deafening, thundering roar of praise and worship that would ensue! Wow Friends! What power there is in our dreams! That’s why our Bit and the verses around it are so important. It’s Job’s supposed friend Elihu reasoning with him. ‘For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction. That he may withdraw man from his purpose (turn man from his deed), and hide pride from man.’ (Job 33:14-17) Yes Friends, many times it’s in our deepest sleep that our God connects with us and puts His desires in our hearts. Hear what He said when Miriam and Aaron complained against Moses: ‘Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the Lord will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.’ (Num.12:6) That was way back then when the Holy Spirit was not entrenched in all believers, but with the coming of Christ things changed somewhat, and now all believers have the Holy Spirit living in them. And what’s the purpose of the Holy Spirit? To lead and guide God’s children. That means nowadays He speaks to each of us individually, not only prophets, which by the way I am not. (smile) So please my brethren, I beg of us, let’s keep dreaming that dream nuh, that marvellous dream where all God’s people finally come together and chase Lucifer to Hades by his lonesome self, where he belongs. Thus allowing the wonder of God’s kingdom to envelop the whole earth, and the wonder of His majesty to fill the universe with His glory. I know that if we keep dreaming it in sincere faith, and doing our best to make it happen, then not only simple logic, but also God’s great promise will eventually cause it to happen. So Friends, in this year of 2012, one of such positive and tremendous promise, let’s all say like Martin Luther King, ‘I have a dream; a dream of God’s people coming together and making a monumental difference.’ If we sincerely believe that and work towards it, it will surely happen. Remember God’s promise, that whatever we ask for in faith and then see through the eyes of faith, He will grant. Much LOVE!…the LOVE train carrying the LOVE Revolution…is getting longer and longer…with each passing day…Oh give praise and thanks to Almighty God!
