THE VISION
The Dream
The Dream
This Ministry was birthed from a Dream I had from the Lord in 1997
I had a dream that I was in a sailboat and there were other sailboats in this ocean along with mine. There was someone else in my boat but, at the time, I did not know who it was….
I had a dream that I was in a sailboat and there were other sailboats in this ocean along with mine. There was someone else in my boat but, at the time, I did not know who it was….
As we were getting closer to land, I looked back and saw a storm of great magnitude on the horizon….. like nothing I had ever seen before. It seemed like hundreds of funnel clouds swirling all around--- a damaging, destructive force that looked like it could not be stopped. It was a solid wall of black from the ocean surface all the way up to the sky and it was coming toward us quickly

I knew we could make it to land but when I looked back there were other sailboats between me and the approaching storm. As I got closer to land, I kept looking back and one by one these sailboats were being consumed. As the storm got closer and closer to each sailboat, there were light-beams like lazers that would shoot straight up to the sky from each boat in a blinking motion.

As the storm closed in on each one, the ‘beam of light’ would flash, faster and faster, but eventually the storm swallowed up each one.

Well, I made it to the shore and then the dream ended and I woke up.

I wondered what all this meant; I knew this was not an ordinary dream and initially thought that God was trying to warn me about something coming against my family.

After praying in the Spirit for a period of time I received the interpretation of the dream.

The storm represented the enemy and all the deep darkness that was spoken about in the Word that would be coming on the Earth. (Is 60:1-2)

The sailboats represented businessmen.

The light beams eminating from the sailboats represented ‘panic prayers’ from these men focused toward God; the nature of the prayer was a plea for help to come and save them from their destruction; some of these men did not have a relationship with God but others were Christian men that were not taught much at all about the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

The problem was that neither group understood how God operates according to the Bible, but had been fed so much religious-tradition that the truth of God’s Word could not be realized to its’ fullest extent. Jesus said that the traditions of man have made the Word of God of no effect. (Mark 7:9-13)

And finally, the person in the boat with me I eventually realized was Jesus and as I prayed about this, the Lord said that I needed to go back out after these men (the other sailboats) to save them from their destruction (Psalm 107:20). They needed to hear the full truth of God’s Word and He wanted me to go back out after them ‘walking on the water’ in the Power of the Holy Spirit.
