As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Most of us who paid the least attention, know of Martin King's "I have a dream" speech, but this one is about "I had a dream" which was shared by one of the Lame Cherry family.
I hope this helps in some way. I had a dream. In the dream I was praying and felt a connection to God like never before. It was emotional,most moving dream I have ever had. Have you heard of this before? All my best to you and yours. S agtG
I really have been having a most trying week, a spiritual salvo dumped on me, when this note reached me and was like an Oasis of water to the desert in me.
I have never been blessed with a dream like this. My dreams are sorting things, or things I do not want to dream about in people or nothing this wonderful. Here am I reminded of a state I was in, in which I heard the Holy Ghost telling Joan of Arc something I was not supposed to hear, and it was erased about that quick too, as that is more the kind of things that happen to me. I have solutions put into my mind and hear things. Here am I grateful for that, but most of my connection with God is me starting out praying, my mind drifting along on other things as I like the state and I feel like I am wasting God's time, unless He likes the time in me being in Him.
The dream state is a heightened state. St Peter had a dream, but was termed a vision when he was told that all things were clean. So there is not any doubt that the experience of the person above is real, and he touched the Lord and the Lord held him. That is a wonderful blessing and treasure for anyone to have.
I know what touching God is like. Perhaps I will share this more completely so that you will not make the mistake I did. I fell in love with a lie, a person who was just infatuated with me due to my older brother. I was young and it stuck and I was in misery from it, for years, well all of my adult life until just recently.
The Holy Ghost was always good to me and still is, but I had a Gift. I could summon Him. People who die and experience Christ make the same explanations of Love, Euphoria, Peace, Joy in the Light. I could do that anytime I liked, usually in bed at prayer time, and I kind of had to stop as this would energize me so much that I would not be able to get to sleep for hours, even when exhausted.
One night, I had no idea what I had done at my Meribah, but I was whining, debating, being intellectual, and I said, "If you gave me this person, I would not need the comfort which the Holy Ghost gives". BANG just like that it was all gone. Now I was really empty inside and no comfort and all torment.
I remember a Christmas years later in being alone, and having a Spiritual redress when the Holy Ghost was in me that night and it was like I was soft soap and He imprinted on me, and for the first time I felt how absolutely evil and filthy I was.
Things did not end there, I got terminally sick and was on my way to checking out when TL entered the picture. God never stopped talking to me, but all the same, not having the Comfort is not the same as the Holy Ghost being around you.
It was not until this year after a dream of all things when this person I "loved" appeared in it, and said we were special friends, that I felt alive again. This person can have their specialties, because they are in a sewer of choices of this life, and having had enough of that, I awoke one day to find that person's torment gone. I did not care that they were gone. It was freeing and I thanked God for it.
Yes these past weeks this person is wondering about me again and I can feel it, and it would serve satan to re establish that link, but no way in this earth am I ever connecting to that torment again. They made their choice and I am not involved in that ever again.
The Holy Ghost does Comfort me. It is more like a Spiritual keeping me from meltdown in the pressures I face, weather being the problem now as I do not like feeling helpless nor do I like knowing animals are suffering. I do have a connection with God that I invest a great deal of work in, and most people would be envious of this, as I covet my time with God, but it is not the same as before. I made a mistake in what I said and not what I intended. I have been tormented by this ever since, much to one of my holier than thou sister's delight.
So do not make mistakes with God like that as no one and nothing in this universe is worth God.
Anyone can have this connection. Just invest in it, protect it, prioritize it and enjoy it. God does desire time with each of us. Think of God as this Being that has billions of connections, and there is one for you, where God does focus 1000% on you. You are always God's priority.
Just remember that even Jesus did not get everything He asked. He asked to not have to die, but said He would fulfill God's Will no matter what. God has a big picture and lots of miracles, even in weather like is burdening me. I look for a time when the snow is melted and all is well again as God brought each of us to this point for His purpose. We are here for that, it is not our lives, but the life He gave us for the Life to come.
I think I will ask for dreams like the above. God may allow this for me. He probably will have some barriers up as I might try and grab hold and hang on like Jacob did. I think I do surprise Him sometimes in abilities, but He is a God Who only would let me grab hold of Him for His reason.
I have never heard of a dream about praying to God and having a closer connection. It is a wonderful Gift from God and I do bless you to have even closer and more connections with God, as this is wonderful. There is not any thrill, no drug, no love, no experience which compares to being close with God.
God bless you and God bless the Good in Christ's Name Amen and Amen
