Around the world God is speaking to people of other faiths and to Christians through dreams…and God has visited Fatawu with two such dreams. Fatawu is a teacher at the school we are teaching at every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning now! Here is what God is doing in Fatawu’s life.
In the first dream, Fatawu found himself praying amid a great crowd of people. Two evangelists that have been with us for over two months, along with Pastor Amos, Leah, and I were with Fatawu in the dream. As we prayed, a Man in white clothes appeared in our midst and addressed Himself directly to Fatawu. “Son,” said the great shining One, “I am the Alpha and Omega. Your sins have been forgiven because of your faith.”
At these words, Fatawu awoke trembling; it was 12:30 a.m., but in his fright he called one of the evangelists, Daniel, and told him about the dream. Daniel reassured Fatawu that Jesus Christ had personally appeared to him to confirm his salvation. “What do the words ‘alpha’ and ‘omega’ mean?” Fatawu asked – and Daniel was able to tell Fatawu all about the One Who is the First and the Last!
On another night, Fatawu’s enemies carried him to the top of a very high mountain in his second dream, leaving him alone in a desolate forest. He was weeping, when the same Man clothed in white appeared to him and said, “My peace I give to you – not as the world gives, but as I give. I am with you forever.” Fatawu was not scared, but rather comforted by the Words of Jesus Christ! Praise God for revealing Himself to His new son.
Why don’t we hear of God coming in dreams often in the USA? After all, God says in Acts 2:17 that “in the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” (NIV)
I think God is speaking to many in the USA, but our eyes and ears are growing spiritually dull. Many, many Christians aren’t seeking God with all their hearts, because they have become comfortable (even with the current economic crisis, most still eat 3 meals a day, have some place to shower/sleep/work, etc.); they fear change and the unknown, so they are unwilling to allow God to be Lord of their lives. I use “they” with a lot of hesitation, because I too find myself all too often pulling back from God; I don’t want to be uncomfortable or not get my way! May God have mercy on us because of our lack of faith!
God is speaking to those who don’t know Him too. Westerners to whom God is speaking may write their visions off as too much sushi for dinner or ignore them as a “crazy” dream. If you have a dream and it speaks to your heart, consider the message by taking it to the Bible to determine if it is true. Also, talk to a good Christian friend to help you understand it and grow from it. A word of warning is in order, though, as Satan is alive and all too well. His time on earth is short, so he intends to come with all false wonders and signs in these last days. USA, get ready for real supernatural occurrences: the devil is determined to steal your salvation, to destroy your life, and to kill all hope of eternal life. What must we do to escape from the devil and the sheer evil about to engulf the entire world (there will be a false peace for a short while)?
Submit your life to the One and only God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Only Jesus’ life was acceptable to God (apologies to the many do-gooders). Only Jesus’ death and blood is acceptable to God to pay for our sins. Only through the power of Jesus’ resurrection can you be born again through the Spirit to become a child of God. Tell God you believe that Jesus is the Christ, that Jesus’ blood will satisfy God’s judgment for sin, and ask Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of your life. Warning: if you ask Jesus to take your life, He will! You will lose control of it to Him, and it will bring suffering as your old bad habits die and Jesus creates new life in you. Be a risk-taker and step in faith to the arms of God; you will NEVER regret it.
