Linda Irish 0 Posted February 23, 2011 THE UNDERGROUND BOMBINGS To this day I still don’t always understand what God is saying to me in my dreams. Our education in the Holy Spirit is a lifetime endeavor. But I have learned a lot, and I love the fact that God does talk to us in dreams. One of the things that God has taught me is to be able to discern the difference between a prophetic dream (which I fondly call a “God dream”) and an ordinary dream. Sometimes there is a waiting period for a prophetic dream actually to manifest, as the dream may not be for a current situation but a future event. On one occasion in particular, God gave me an immediate understanding of what this dream was about, and I had the opportunity to share that with my son-in-law before the dream manifested.In the summer of 2005, I went to Tennessee to spend some time with my daughter, Christy, and her family. My son-in-law, Mo, and I were at breakfast one morning having a theological discussion on our religion of choice. My son-in-law is a Muslim and I am a Christian; this can make for some interesting discussions! Usually my daughter is very nervous when we talk religion and would rather that we not. She is concerned that maybe we’ll offend each other or get into a heated argument, but actually I think Mo enjoys our discussions as much as I do. On this one morning we were talking about why we chose our religions. It started with our families and what their beliefs were and then we moved on to our own personal relationships with God. This then led in more detail to my personal relationship with God.I was telling Mo that I talked to God and that He talked to me. Mo seemed interested and questioned me on this. “What do you mean God talks to you? How?” And I talked a little bit about the ways that God does talk to me, and then I remembered. “In fact I had a ‘God dream’ last night,” I told Mo. In my dream we were in a basement. It was night, and my little daughter, Courtney, was getting into bed with me. I whispered to her, “Courtney, do you see those evil entities that are plotting against us?” I was pointing to what I could see in the basement as a table with spiritual entities that looked like men, standing over a table with what appeared to be some kind of map that they were studying. I knew that they were evil. “No mama, those are real men who are plotting against us,” said my daughter back to me…and I then I heard the sound of the voice of my stepson, Dan Irish, yelling out “FIVE”…and then I woke up.“So what does that mean?,” said Mo…and I knew. God had imparted to me an understanding of the dream. I said, “God is revealing to me that someone—evil men—are plotting to attack us underground, and the number five has something to do with it.” Not that day, but the next day, in the late afternoon, Mo came home from work, and when he walked in the front door I heard him yell my name. I immediately found him to see what he wanted. “Did you hear what happened?,” Mo said to me. “No I haven’t heard anything. What happened? And Mo went on to tell me about the terrorist bombing in England—underground in the subway. The bombings had taken place on July 23rd in London, at the Kings Cross station. “It’s just like in your dream,” he said. And I told Mo what I thought. “This really sounds like the manifestation of the dream that God gave me, but we will know for sure when the number ‘5’ has something to do with it, because that is how I will know for sure that this is the manifestation from my dream. In my life, when God tells me something, every part of what God says comes true. The number five is an important part of the dream and it will confirm the dream to us.”So for days the news covered the bombings, and the press reported that there were four bombers involved, but still nothing about number five—until several days later it was reported that they had found a fifth bomber. That’s it!, I said. Now I feel a peace that, yes, this is what God was talking to me about in my dream. God used this event to show my son In law Mo, that my God is real and does talk to His children. Praise God!!!http://lulu.com/product/paperback/its-a-god-thing-my-sheep-will-hear-my-voice-2nd-edition/14456456 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hind'sfeet 1 Posted February 24, 2011 God showed me last night that Paul was like the radical muslims and how God used Paul and his ex-extremism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linda Irish 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Wow that is a really profound way to see it!!! Paul absolutely thought that he had it "right" and God had to stop him with a miracle...to make him see the truth....and not an "illusion" of what he percieved to be true.

Linda Irish 0 Posted February 25, 2011 I can see the motive of our heart is important to God. We all get it wrong at times, even the patriarchs in the Bible, to me that is inspiring!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
