A DREAM FROM THE LORD
As my day began I had a strange stirring in my spirit. Not knowing what the stirring was about I prayed, prayed in the Spirit.
During the day the stirring grew stronger and went on into the night. I tried for hours to sleep and at ten minutes to one not able to get to sleep I began praying, "Father, you're a supernatural God, you do supernatural things. Lord, you said in your Word that you give your beloved sweet sleep. I'm asking you Lord to put a supernatural sleep upon me, Father."
I looked at the clock, five minutes to one, I immediately fell asleep and began to dream.
In the dream I was sitting on the far side, middle part of my mother's table in the kitchen with the family surrounding me. My mother, sister-in-law, and five sisters all sat at the table talking with each other.
There was a feeling of being out of place as if I were there at the wrong time, so I put my head on the table and said "Lord, I feel so out of place, what am I doing here?"
As I raised my head the wall before me disappeared and one of my brothers was walking toward me from a distance, he went straight to one of my sisters, bent over spoke to her and turned to walk away.
I said, "Lord, I really don't understand all of this. Why do I feel so strange inside? Why do I feel totally out of place? Everyone else is sitting and talking but I feel strange, Lord."
Turning to the right I saw Jesus walking from a distance and I could not resist an urgency to push back my chair, stand and follow. Jesus walked up to me and I looked around. No one acknowledged that He was there; their conversations continued. I looked at Jesus and He took his right hand and placed it on my right shoulder. He said, "Sandra, now is the time you must go tell the people that I am coming back soon. Tell them I am coming back quickly."
I replied "Who? Me, Lord? You want me to go tell the people you're coming back soon?"
He said, "Yes, go tell them I am coming back soon." I cried "Oh Lord, can't you get somebody else? Can't you find someone else to go tell them Lord?"
At that moment, in the dream my thoughts were: "You're like Moses aren't you, Sandra? The Lord appeared to Moses in the burning bush and Moses made up every excuse he could and you're like Moses making excuses why you can't go to God's people, too."
The Lord lifted His hand off my shoulder and with His left index finger pointed to His little finger of the right hand and with each word He moved His index finger up a finger and said, "There will be mocking, scoffing, laughing and ridicule but you are not to look at that, Sandra. Don't look at any of that. You are to look at those that will bow their knees and repent and say 'Thank you Father, thank you for sending your servant to warn us so we could repent, to get our heart right before the soon coming King returns!"
The Lord said, "Sandra, you're to look at that and go tell them, 'I'm coming back soon.'" He backed into the cloud, disappearing.
Turning to the table I placed both of my hands on it, bent over and looked to the left side. As far as my eyes could behold the table had been extended and thousands upon thousands of people were around the table. I turned to the right and the table had been extended and thousands of people were around it.
I said, "Didn't you hear Him? Didn't anyone hear the Lord? Didn't you see Him. Didn't anyone see Him standing there? The Lord said He's coming back soon, He's coming very soon, He'll be here quickly, He said."
These people began laughing, mocking, scoffing, ridiculing me and pointing their fingers at me saying, "Shut up! Shut up! We don't want to hear that. We don't need any Jesus freaks; we don't need any Jesus fanatics around here; just sit down and shut up."
As those words came out of their mouths, I grabbed my chest, took a breath and backed away. As I backed away from the table a thunderous voice came out of the heavens and He said, "Sandra, didn't I tell you not to look at that and not to look at mocking, scoffing, laughing and ridicule? Now, you look at the table and see what I desire you to see."
As I looked at the table, thousands of people pushed back their chairs, got to their knees, buried their faces in the seats of the chairs and said, "Thank you Father, Thank you Father, Thank you Lord for sending the Word that we might know to repent and get our hearts right for the soon coming King. Oh, Thank you, Lord."
When I heard those words I awoke and looked at the clock, it read straight up one o'clock. I sat on the side of my bed and could still feel His hand on my shoulder. My bedroom was illuminated with the presence of the Lord and needless to say I did not go to sleep that night but spent it in prayer, seeking the face of the Lord and asking Him how should I go about getting His word to the people that "Jesus is coming very, very soon."
