Proof of God

Amen. The Lord says, Pray that you may prophesy! The devil would have us convinced that praying and desiring to prophesy is wrong but that's not what the word says! If He says to pray that way it is because He wants to grant the petition so I agree and say, Yes and Amen!

Praise God, dreamer!

Thank you, ladies.

He truly is awesome. Thank you, Connie. How have you been, missy? Love, Mia

Thank you, sister!

Thank you very much!

Some of you know that we had a situation at the end of last year where a family member for all intents and purposes stole our car. We decided that we were not going to make a big deal out of it and we just let it go, even though we have an extremely tight budget. Well, I had a dream a few months before that happened in which a person gave me a BIG gift while standing in their driveway, and then they gave me another gift: a swing set. At the time I thought, Hm, the driveway seems to represent a car to me. I didn't think much about it any more and life went on. I've been praying fervently to move back to New York to be nearer to my daughter and grandson. The first week of January my husband was offered a transfer to New York from within his company. When I called to tell my daughter about the potential move, she said, "One week ago, I think for the first time since you've been gone, I was so stressed and tired of life without you here that I just bawled my eyes out and said to God, 'I just want my mom.'" We came to New York two weeks ago to look for a house and thought we had found one so we returned to Florida while our realtor worked on the details. Then another couple put in an offer too. Well, the realtor wasn't getting back to our realtor, so our realtor thought it was because she was waiting for some of her own clients to be interested so that she didn't have to split the commission. She did. As a result, we didn't get the house and wasted an entire trip from Florida to New York and then we had to make another trip back to New York to look for houses again. For the first six days every house we looked at was either a.) awful, scary, hideous, way too mall, cow manure smell was overpowering, living room looked like a bowling alley, etc. or b.) the realtors didn't get back to us or c.) already gone. We only had one week to find a house and time was running out and every day that went by felt more stressful. On day five, after looking at over twenty houses, I was beginning to feel a little bit of pressure so we started to look for houses in New Jersey. There were some nice houses but the possibility that my daughter couldn't live in New Jersey existed so this was an absolute last resort. By day six it looked like we might have to resort to New Jersey. Day six arose and we still didn't have a house. An offer was accepted on a house in New Jersey so now I felt a little less pressure because we did find one and our offer was approved but it was not the best of situations because my daughter might still have to live four hours away if we couldn't find a house in New York. I wanted to be with her, in the same town, to help with daily life. So, I was still somewhat (ok, alot) stressed. Finally, our realtor called us and said, "A house just went on the market that looks good." I said, "I'm ready to go right now." So, Chris our realtor met me over there immediately so that we would have a chance at being the first people in the door and approved before anyone else had a chance to get it. When I walked up to the front porch Chris said, "It's nice." I was so relieved. Since day one he knew which houses I would like and which houses I wouldn't. I knew immediately that I was going to like it because it was the first time out of looking at dozens of houses that he said, "This is nice." I was so desperate that I didn't get past the front door, I said, "I want it. Call the other realtor." Chris laughed and said, "Well at least come inside and look at the place." I walked two feet in and from what I saw, and still desperate not to have the fourth house snatch away, I said, "I'll take it. Call right now." But he insisted that I look at the rest of it. So, I did. Then, I said, "Ok. Call now." I really was desperate we only had ONE DAY left in New York and we would need that day to finalize paperwork so somebody had to choose our offer before we even got that far and weren't that far yet! Well, another couple came through after us. I KNEW IT was going to happen. There was really nothing decent on the market. So we were once again pitting our offer against another and the owners had to decide who to choose. UGH!!!! BUT I had this comfort: When I went to look at the house, as he was showing me around, one of the FIRST things the realtor said was, "There is a problem with the pool. They don't have a CofO for it yet but they will work on getting it." I practically shouted, "Hallelujah" on the spot! (Are ya payin' attention, Daph?) Right then I told the realtor, "God let us go through all that stress and all those losses because He had the best in mind for us!" See....Daphanie had told me last year that she saw my husband, daughter, and I, in a house with a pool. This was LONG before there was any talk of living in New York, living with my daughter or anything. In Daph's dream, there was fence around the pool and there was a problem with the pool but the problem was resolved. At that time I was trying to see how it fit with what was going on in my life then. Even as we looked at other houses we wondered if other elements might have something to do with Daph's dream but, true to form, whenever a dream is truly fulfilled there is no doubt. You will KNOW when a dream is truly fulfilled, like in this case. This yard was completely fenced and there was a pool with a problem. I KNEW, I mean I KNEW with no uncertainty at that moment (because every single element of Daph's dream was clearly fulfilled) that it was God's way of encouraging me during a time of MAJOR stress that He had us covered and He was blessing me. God let every other single door be closed to us for almost an entire month so that we would end up with the very best the very moment it came on the market and JUST IN TIME to return to New York. We truly ended up with the very best. There was nothing on the market even close to comparing with this house for the price range we were looking in. We literally got double for our money. The house we were originally going to get I definitely could have been happy in but it didn't hold a candle to what God had stored up for us. And to take the cake, the company is buying my husband a car as part of his reward for making the transfer and the house has the coolest jungle gym/swingset deal ever. My dream of a gift which I thought was a car and a swing set also was fulfilled through the transfer back to New York. Is God good or what? I just cannot even put into words how Wonderful He is. Thank you so much for petitioning God on our behalf! We had favor! I am so grateful!

Thank you SO MUCH, Lurdys. With all my heart I know it was The Lord who was behind this promotion. Thank you so much for be willing to serve the body this way. Love, Mia

Smooches back at ya, sister! Love you bunches. It isn't official yet but the word at this point is that God has definitely enlarged my territory! After it's official I'm coming back with a GREAT testimony!

lol Thanks, Cholette! My hopin' is that I'm hopin' that God's plan is the same as what I WOULD LOVE to happen. Hugs, Mia

Hey Lurdys, Congrats on becoming a moderator! I can't think of anyone who would have been a better candidate. Thank you for your prayers and I am looking forward to coming back with that praise report. Mia

Hey everyone, I'm in New York. At the comfort Inn and I actually have a few minutes to DO NOTHING and thought I would say hello. Hello. I miss you all! We are trying to find a house and would love to ask you all to pray for favor for us and then hopefully I will be coming back with a great report. Love, Mia

Connie, you are such a sweetheart. I thank God for you. In case I haven't told you how much I appreciate you lately: I DO!

Of course you aren't exiled! Your comments were not malicious and therefore they are more than welcome and thank you for caring enough to share them, butterfly. I just want to to tell you that even though I said to seek God there are times whenI just know what a dream means because he's revealed it to me but I enjoy the confirmation so I ask for the interpretations for those. Amazingly, it seems like the dreams that I have a definite interpretation for I always get 3 or 4 confirmations but those that I don't understand I get zippo. That tells me that if God wants me to know He opens the understanding to the dream and I understand and so do others. If He doesn't want it revealed just yet, nobody will get it. But, again, I love getting confirmation when I know the message is clear and I highly encourage people to seek others for confiration.

I really like this.

Me too. :)

Why do you feel that you cannot use your understanding to analyze your dreams? I don't blame you for not wanting to interpret dreams. Neither do I. lol But honestly Butterfly, some of the things that you are saying are very healthy. I don't want to ever focus on dreams and visions only if I know God is saying something to me. Like that statement. If what has happened to you has driven you to this place, then PRAISE GOD! That is the perfect place to be. Daphanie and I have talked about having "an understanding" of dreams like Daniel was gifted with and I think that is something that needs addressing and that is why we decided to talk about some of these things to work them out. Mia

Great post! Thanks, dreamster! I love that keeping the unity part THE BEST!

Amen. Thank you Jesus.

Thank you very much. :bighug:

He is AWESOME and I wonder the EXACT same thing, Cholette!

Connie, I looked for that dream but could not find it. Could you send me the link again, please? Thanks, Mia

:snow: He is so awesome! Thank you so much for rejoicing, and crying, with me.

I'm going to have to read that dream again because I was sure that I read that he was sleeping there.
