Good Morning,Have an amazing weekend, Kathy Hamilton(Martin) 9/29/06 (Personal note: Never give up on the dreams & visions God has given you. Keep pursuing them passionately. Other people may stand in your way, but it is God who has given you the dreams and visions for you to fulfill His purpose for yor life.) Visions and Dreams 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. - Acts 2:17 "I need to meet with you," said the man from England during a break at a conference overseas. We walked outside to have a coffee break and sat down. "God wants you to know that He removed your finances in order to reserve His reward for you in Heaven. He has done you a great service." I was shocked. I'd never met this gentleman before. How would he have known I had lost a half million dollars in the previous few years, virtually all of my financial net worth, to some unusual calamities? We shared for the next several minutes. That week, during our lunch and dinner times, I had been enjoying wonderful, juicy oranges from this island in the Mediterranean Sea. It came time for the gentleman and I to conclude our coffee break. We bowed in prayer. As we prayed, the man began to describe a picture he was seeing in his mind. "I see a picture of a large orange tree. The tree is full of large, ripened oranges. They are beginning to fall to the ground. You are the tree!" Again, I looked at the man with shock and amazement, and now tears in my eyes. "You are the third person in three years that has had a similar vision during a prayer time like this. The first two people were also strangers to me." I went back into the meeting rejoicing that God could be so personal in my life. He used a servant who had gone through similar trials to supernaturally speak a word of encouragement in a way that I would know it was God who was speaking. There are times when God supernaturally speaks into our lives. He does this to demonstrate His power, His love, and His intimacy with us. Do not be surprised if God sends one of His messengers to speak into your life when you need it most. Be open to how God might want to speak into your life today. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers (Psalm 1:3).

hello Kathy...nicely stated...thank you...Larry

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for your post. God places people and circumstances in our lives all the time to guide us. It is up to us to be open to this guidance. Without vision man shall perish.

Peace, Health and Prosperity,

Hi Kathy,

This was a very nice story on "Visions and Dreams". 

Communications from God does not always come from communications with other humans, although it is true a godly person filled with the holy spirit can give you a message sent from God and/or help you in many other ways.  You may get a phone call, a card, a visit, an invitation, food, shelter, clothing ....... the list can go on, or even a rainbow, a beatufiul flower, a bird churping, a butterfly, a new born baby these are all signs.  Our intricute bodies and beautiful surroundings are signs of God in our life and what he created.  Remember that expression "Stop and smell the roses."  How do you feel after you do that?  I own a little dog and she stops and smells every beatuiful flower then she turns and looks at me, like she is saying "See, isn't that beautiful".  I always smile when she does that. 

We always have to be in tune with the Holy Spirit.  If we listen to that still small voice inside us that is God giving us direction as to what to do.  Have you even been ready to go somewhere or do something, then you are prompted to do somehing different.  When you did what you were prompted to do, then you begin to realize that you were needed to do something that someone else was in need of.  That is God talking to you and answering other peoples prayers or keeping you from danger.  Remember to listen to that still small voice, it will always lead you in the right direction.  God answers prayers, through other people, you may not understand why but he does.

Do have a wonderful day Kathy, and thanks for the lovely story.

HAVE A BLESSED WEEKEND, KATHY HAMILTON AND YOUR FAMILY.
