442the TRUTH, the whole TRUTH, and nothing but the TRUTHAnother false prophecy was given on Aug. 14, 2007 in the dream Watch, As IAm Coming. The angels said to you regarding Doug Batchelor: “You both walka road parallel and your roads will cross.” You thought perhaps this prophecymay have been fulfilled shortly after that when you attended a church whereDoug Batchelor was speaking, although there was no conversation between you.Regarding the parallel paths, his secretary, Bonnie Ensminger, stated to me onApril 23, 2008 that Pastor Batchelor has refused, and continues to refuse to meetwith you and talk with you, although there was an attempt to make anappointment with him. That doesn’t sound like parallel roads to me! He certainlyis not in agreement with the road that you are on!It may seem strange to you that I hung on so long after having so many concerns.Let me tell you, I wanted so much for these dreams to be from God! I waswilling to overlook many of the concerns, and keep hanging on. Like a friendexpressed to me, “If I turn away from the dreams, what do I do with all thefeelings of hope and closeness to God they’ve generated?” I felt that way, butnow I realize those feelings were strictly emotion, not reality.Since I have let go of the dreams, I have been drawn closer to God than I’ve everbeen before! It has lifted a heavy burden off of me. God has been teaching memany valuable lessons for which I am extremely grateful. I am so thankful forthe Word of God. I have immersed myself in the scriptures with a fervor likenever before! I thank God for a good memory, and for the hundreds andhundreds of scriptures that I have hidden in my heart. Now, in the night, thesescriptures are my delightful meditation.This entire experience has not been all bad: God can take these things, and usethem to make us stronger and wiser in Him. I will be more equipped with HisWord for the next deception that comes along. And we are told that we will facemany false prophets as we near the end so we all need to have our minds fortifiedwith the scriptures.What about all the “miracles,” the changed lives, the sweet fellowship and newfriendships, and increased love for Jesus that the followers of the dreams seem tohave experienced? How could Satan be doing all this? Listen: “Popular revivalsare too often carried by appeals to the imagination, by exciting the emotions, bygratifying the love for what is new and startling. Converts thus gained have littledesire to listen to Bible truth, little interest in the testimony of prophets andapostles. Unless a religious service has something of a sensational character, ithas no attractions for them. A message which appeals to unimpassioned reasonawakens no response. The plain warnings of God's word, relating directly to theireternal interests, are unheeded.” {NL 9.2}The fact that the spiritual awakening came as a result of an emotionally chargedsupernatural dream causes one to wonder: Would those whose lives have beenchanged by the hearing of your dreams have responded to a biblical messagewithout the “appeals to the imagination, by exciting the emotions, by gratifyingthe love for what is new and startling”? And if not, then, have their lives reallybeen changed for the better? There seems to be a revival, but it is based on ashaky foundation. Just because there is a seeming revival at a new, startling,
