This morning's post comes from a dream God gave me back in 2007. I record my dreams and visions, especially the ones I believe the LORD gives me. This particular dream illustrates how we need to align our thoughts for healing with those of God. I also believe God is causing this particular dream of mine to be revisited today - now! I hope His message blesses you today!
In my dream, God showed me three examples of how we can
receive His healing. I think it is more than just coincidence that this dream
comes after a very frustrating difficulty I’ve had over the past week trying to
repair my tractor. My difficulty had to do with me trying to force an axle
shaft back into alignment with some very important rear-wheel gears. As long as
I tried to do it alone not asking for help no matter how hard I tried to force the
shaft to go in I failed. I had tried for the past 3-4 days to make this repair.
Without fixing the problem I wasn’t going anywhere with the tractor. When I
finally gave up and asked my wife Sally to help me, the shaft slid into place
amazingly easy without any effort!
The Three Examples
God Gave Me:
First example: You
try to open a combination lock; you twist the knob with the numbers on it back
and forth pulling on the lock. You desperately want to open this lock, but it
won’t open. When you ask for the correct numbers combination and slowing turn
to align the tumblers of the lock amazingly this impossible lock opens!
Second example: You’re in a big hurry, you’re tired, you’re
trying to open the front door of your home, its dark, you put your key in the
lock and frantically try to unlock the door but, the key doesn’t seem to fit.
It’s the right key but the lock won’t open. You slow down and carefully push
the key in and all the little tumblers in the lock align and the door opens!
Third example: You and I are standing here and I am holding up
a sheet of cardboard with a small hole in it, I show you I have a powerful flashlight
which is turned on and you want to see the light shine through the hole in the
cardboard. You can’t really see my flashlight because I am holding it behind my
sheet of cardboard, but you tell me how to move my flashlight around so you can
see my light. You tell me to move it to the left and down then to move it up
and to the right. You can’t see the beam of my light because you’re not holding
the source. When you stop and allow me to point my light through the hole
toward you, you are temporarily blinded by my powerful light!
Antidote: When we
stop trying to do-everything-for-ourselves, whether it be to accomplish some
difficult task or to receive our healing, when we stop and pray asking God to
help us we see much better results.
