That Saturday, I was called to preach in a prayer meeting held at a friend’s house. Friday night, as I sat for prayer and asked the Lord what I should preach the next day, He gave me the verses from Joel 2:12-14 'Even now,' declares the Lord, 'return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.' Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity. Who knows? He may turn and have pity and leave behind a blessing - grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God. And there was a surprise waiting for me when I reached the house where the prayer meeting was held. There in the 2nd row sat the man the Lord had shown me in the dream. Instantly I knew that the message though for everyone, was especially for this man. As I preached, the Holy Spirit led me through several portions of the Bible where the apostasy of the Israelites is evident. "Enquiring and worshipping Baal instead of Jehovah. The Holy Spirit led me into speaking how Christians get trapped when they involve themselves in idol worship. After the service, the man I had seen in the dream came hastily to me and told me his story. He was a believer who had got involved in idolatry and now his daughter was mentally ill. He had done everything in his capacity to get her cured with medicines but to no avail. He had come on holidays from another state to our native place and was returning in a couple of days. I told him that the message that day was especially for him from God and that he should obey accordingly and that I would be praying for him and his ailing daughter. It was very evident here that God wanted to give him another chance and that's why the message-"Even now," declares the Lord, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate..." I do not know whether he took the Lord’s counsel or not, for I have never seen him after that. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. (Psalm 32:8) 11. ANOTHER RAPTURE DREAM 1994 was the year in which I saw myself and a friend being caught up in the clouds in a dream regarding “Rapture”. The second Rapture dream that I saw was several years later. It was a time when I was passing through a phase of spiritual barrenness; there were frustrations in life, worldliness and I was not living in close fellowship with God. In the dream, it was night time and the moon and stars were shining brightly. I saw many people clothed in white ascending to the heavens from different directions. I stood watching
and rejoicing about the fact that Rapture was taking place. Then a sudden realization dawned on me that I was only watching and not being caught up. This made me sad and my countenance fell. The dream ended there. When I woke up the next morning, I was very sad because the Holy Spirit had hinted that I would be left behind because I was not walking in close communion with God. The dream made me realize that unless one lives a holy life and is in close communion with God at all times, it would not be possible to be caught up with Jesus at Rapture. Repentance and drawing near to God was the right thing to do and I did the same with the help of the Holy Spirit of God. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36) 12. REJECTING THE TRUTH Once, a youth started regularly attending our worship services after I had explained to him the Gospel truths. He was involving himself in all the activities of the Church and seemed to have taken a decision for living for the Lord. Then one night, the Lord showed me a dream regarding him. In the dream, we were having dinner and I was serving him food. He seemed to be enjoying it for a while and then all of a sudden he just throws away the food that I had served and gets up and walks away. I prayed about the dream that it may not happen like I had seen. The Lord was showing here that initially the fellow would accept all the spiritual truths that I fed him with, but then he would just discard the whole thing. Though I prayed about the matter, what the Lord had shown took place, as in the dream. Just 1 week after I had seen the dream, without any specific reason, he stopped attending the worship and wouldn’t come back, despite our prayers and pleadings. It was sad that he backslid and wouldn’t choose to live for the Lord. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:36) 13. GOD’S PROVISION IS WORLDWIDE Nothing is impossible with God. Often we say we have faith, but our words and actions point in the opposite direction. Sometimes I too stand guilty regarding this matter. This was another occasion that God spoke clearly regarding what we often think. Sometime back, I saw a dream concerning a servant of God. He is a good friend of mine and has the gift of prophesy. He has a widespread ministry in Kerala, South India.
