So, I have weird dreams, I mean crazy things that make no sense and have no continuity what so ever. But, the other night I had a ridiculously vivid dream (the details of which I may share later). I woke with the distinct feeling that the Lord was speaking to me through it. Here, you have to understand that I was raised very Southern Baptist, I was not taught that God still works through dreams and visions. So for me this was a brand new personal experience. Later that day my roommate/best friend and I were sitting at the dinning room table and I told her my dream in all the detail I could remember. Without missing a beat, she begins to spout off all the things each part of my dream mean. I have to admit I only half listened, not yet convinced God had spoken to me in this way. But as we prayed together later, God began to challenge, calling me to hear His voice in all its forms.
As I prepare to leave for the Race in July, God is drawing me into a deeper intimacy with Him. One in which I will be able to recognize when He is speaking, regardless of how He chooses to do it. My prayer is that I will be open to all my Father has to say to me. My prayer is that as I read His Word, I will filter my “knowledge” of Him and how He works through the scriptures, rather than filtering the scriptures through what I think I know of the Infinite God.
“When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.” -John 10:4
