Thank you, Pastor. My family has a history of very deep, movie quality dreams. My father even published his dreams, as a gift for his family. Re: Ed. I can share, because I told Ed about this a long time ago. From my position onstage, just weeks after Susie passed away, I saw the "vision" of a lady sitting in the pew, next to Ed, on his right. I didn't have my long-distance glasses on, so I didn't know who it was, a relative or someone else. The following week, I saw her again and knew instantly that it was Ed's beloved Susie. It felt comforting to share this with him. ... Pastor, I agree that many dreams, after being analyzed, have a relevance that's spurred on by something important that's on your mind. A couple of weeks ago, just out of the blue, I shared my dream with you. I didn't even know you were writing about Dreams. The details in my dream are relevant to my ministry and are still very clear to me. And, yes indeed, I know exactly how and why my dream was born.
Beautiful story Pastor Mike! Living overseas we sometimes see God speak to non-believers through dreams, especially Muslims who give huge importance to dreams, in order to draw them to Jesus, or at least be open to hearing more about Jesus. I always make the statement in considering dreams, “it could be that means…”. But in a faith stirring situation I may be more bold to say ‘I think God is telling you ….’
The impact that dreams have on the Muslim world’s response to the gospel is amazing. Another M in Central Asia once told me that half of all conversions he knew of were influenced by dreams of Jesus
Pastor Mike, this article is so timely and confirms my thoughts about dreams. I’ve had a series of vivid dreams since August 14th through today. These dreams occur right before I wake up. I have written them down and dated them. So good to see people you and I know from FBCJAX. But this morning’s dream I was saying I’m sorry, I was wrong. I woke up with a sense of deep remorse for my actions followed by relief for releasing an apology to someone I respect. I thanked the Lord especially for this morning’s dream. I’m in awe of His mercy and hope to continue receiving dreams from the Lord. Not sure why I’m having these dreams that seem linked to each other. Writing them down, though fulfillment tarries, waiting for it to come to pass. Indeed, God speaks through dreams!
Thanks Pastor Mike. This other stories you have shared, really help me really feel that the Lord has a POSITIVE plan for me. I still mourn the lost of Lynn but I feel his plan is me helping children and family at Children Hospital. While I am here at Wellmore Lexington Assisted Living, he is leading to speak and keep people staying here, believing in Heaven. Thanks again Wayne

Dreams are important. I pay attention to them.
I appreciate your article.
What an interesting heritage you have!
A good read. Moving more into the weeds.

Thanks for sharing your story…whenever I preach or teach about dreams so many people step forward with similar experiences

So glad to hear how you’re investing your time in the lives of others, Wayne! Thanks for your encouraging words
Thank you Pastor Mike for this insight into our dreams. It’ll be fascinating work to seek God’s message through them.
It’s always been helpful for me to talk out at least some of my dreams with trusted friends
