OH and sometimes Jesus has to wash the person's eyes in MUD before they can actually see their circumstance!! My husband could tell you all about that dirty mud! LOL cause after Jesus showed him some things, he could see dirt all over his feet, if you know what I mean!!!

I wanted to add something too... This behavior is VERY typical of addicts. They will say and do things to make you feel like YOU are the crazy one...ANYTHING to justify what they are doing. It is sin and they love it too much to give it up..the devil has a strategy! My husband was addicted to alcohol but the Lord delivered him! Praise God!! Today we were talking about addictions and this verse came up in my Spirit, along with a word. John 13:5 Then He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the [servant's] towel with which He was girded. 6When He came to Simon Peter, [Peter] said to Him, Lord, are my feet to be washed by You? [Is it for You to wash my feet?] 7Jesus said to him, You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later on. 8Peter said to Him, You shall never wash my feet! Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with ([b]in) Me [you have no share in companionship with Me]. 9Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, [wash] not only my feet, but my hands and my head too! 10Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you [My disciples] are clean, but not all of you. 11For He knew who was going to betray Him; that was the reason He said, Not all of you are clean. 12So when He had finished washing their feet and had put on His garments and had sat down again, He said to them, Do you understand what I have done to you? 13You call Me the Teacher (Master) and the Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is what I am. 14If I then, your Lord and Teacher (Master), have washed your feet, you ought [it is your duty, you are under obligation, you owe it] to wash one another's feet. 15For I have given you this as an example, so that you should do [in your turn] what I have done to you. I had been telling my husband that during his time of addiction, he needed his feet washed! LOL but you know what? If you've told someone time and time again you'll wash their feet for them, and they refuse cause their too blind to see their feet are caked in mud, then all we can do is pray for them.

Could you explain what happens when you tell her something and the result is emotionally draining? I just want to make sure I understand the situation...

Lord I pray that you encourage latoya and I just lift her up to you right now in Jesus name..that you provide a new thing for her. I ask that you bring about a new job for her that is not oppressive but is of YOU and is from you!! I thank you Lord for who she is in you and I pray that you show her the way. In Jesus name, Amen!"

Tapping into a Maple Tree: I had a vision that the Lord's hand hammered into a tree and cut a chunk out of it. The bark that fell out was golden. I knew the Lord meant for me to receive the golden substance from this tree. I told him "thank you", and expected the flow to end after a certain point...however the golden flow stopped but the regular syrup kept on flowing!! I told the Lord I had plenty, that I had plenty to give to my neighbors and friends till they would have plenty. But the flow of syrup kept on coming!! I said "Lord, there's so much syrup, where will it all go?" I was worried about waste, but the Lord kept pouring!!! I kept waiting for the flow to stop but it never did...I had the feeling the flow would never end and I would have to end the vision if I ever wanted to stop watching the flow of syrup!!! Finally I said "Ok Lord, I get it!!" I went and told my husband about the vision...several hours later, my step mother called me and told me that her family was donating some things that they thought I needed to us. I told her no because I already had everything I needed...however she kept insisting and told me that I couldn't say no because I would then be keeping her from a blessing. Then I remembered the vision and told her ok. I'm excited to see what the Lord will do. But I feel this is related and that the Lord is about to pour out blessings that there will not be room enough to receive!!!

I dreamed I was looking at this pond that once had beautiful clean water. However, something had happened in my life and I was scrambling on the bank of the pond...my animals were behind me following me and they stirred up mud in the water just as I had. The entire pond was filled with cloudy clay stuff that looked like milk. I walked around to the other side of the pond where I saw a small waterfall. Parts of this waterfall were running fresh clean water, and other parts were flowing the milky stuff. I was disappointed I had caused this to happen. It was a shame the pond wasn't clear anymore. i reached into the area where the clear water ran and tasted it. It was bitter! The water tasted like goat milk from my goats that had been feasting in a patch of bitter weeds! But I was hopeful I could fix it if I just did the right thing.. It may take some time, effort, and prayer but I was hopeful God could fix it! Interpretation: Chaos was going on in my life! In my anger, I spoke some things I shouldn't have. I looked up 'bitter water' in the Bible, and this verse is what the Lord had waiting for me: James 3:1 "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed,[a] we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.[b] 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. WHAT A TIMELY WORD FROM THE LORD!!!

Could you send us an update as soon as you are able?

Luke 21:25 25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

butterfly...could this be related to what you pmd me about?

I believe this all happened around Sept 12 or maybe the day before...I hadn't seen any media coverage on it here, but I found the date info online.

Yes I was shocked when I read this as well. I'm praying constantly

I received this on my FB message inbox from Peter Odhiambo (established member) on 9/14/11: On Monday, the oil pipeline busted one kilometer away from where I stay here. Exactly the place I had told you I minister in open air meetings.The wells of oil caught fire while the poor slum dwellers had rushed to siphon fuels, 120 people are now dead. quite a number are in hospitals some are fighting for their lives. It is sad here, I saw a huge smoke of clouds, the smell of burning bodies and balls of fire chasing people to their shantis. Some families were all caught up in the meleee and wiped by the inferno.The fuel pipe busted on the river. Today bodies are still being retrieved from Nairobi river. Laura, this is shocking. the government has declared today and tomorrow mourning days.We have heard fires in this country, all of them looking as hell. Kenya has a prophetic mantle to carry in Africa . Something has been wrong though. We used to be economic power house , now we are struggling. This country used to be a home for refugees from somali,Ethiopia ,Rwanda and sudan but now we are refugees in our own country after the previous election violence. There is not much we can do as you know prayers and actions are needed here. There are families along Jogoo Rd. I wished we could give blankets,We talked with my co pastor, we shall ask members of our church to bring whatever they can carry from their houses. I am safe I have been for the past two months asking prayers from the saints about my protection. So this was it. I am also trusting God to move atleast 2km away from the slums. The area is populated, we do share one toilet by 10-15 other houses. Cases of water being contaminated are very common here even in estates,when it rains it sweeps human wastes so you can think of this kind of water even if the authorites tries to clean it.My worst worry now is anticipation of Cholera, its raining here and animals wastes even human parts that have died might mixed up with waters . We are warned now. I suggest God help me to flee from here as first as possible. Crime is a nother big problem here. The deeper you go the scary it is for anyone. I have people I ministered to deep down there. all of them were spared from the fire, thanks be to God. I know many altars are in this places Laura, pray, pray and really pray. I will have to trust God for the source of Finances that I may move a little futher in the outer. I shall be safe there with Equipments of ministry. It has not been easy without constant finance supply. Laura I shall continue to pray for your family, each one of them. I pray and God that we serve will do the rest. Thank you, may I hear from you dear servant of God.

Dream:Attacked by Wild Hogs!!!! I dreamed I was walking down a path near my house with my grandmother (irl my grandmother is fighting cancer) Suddenly we come across a wild bull and I began to tell her about the wildlife..She starts telling me about trees. Suddenly a pack of wild hogs cross our path. We both knew they could kill us in an instant. I really thought we could escape them. I tried all the things I knew to signal them to leave peacably. Instead I just angered a female and she attacked us! She backed us into a corner where I was behind my grandmother and unfortunatly she was sheilding me. I had my arms wrapped about her and was fighting the things off with my hands as they came at her. I finally screamed for help and knew my husband and some cops heard me. The cops really didn't care..but I knew my hubby was on his way. I finally managed to scoot around from behind my grandma. There were two hogs attacking us but several more in the background. I jumped on their spines and broke them in the weakest point. They were immobilized so I knew I was safe to leave and get help. For some reason I left my grandmother behind. I knew i couldn't carry her. I had terrible bruises all over me from the attack. Finally when I came back with help we went to the spot my grandmother was. Except it wasn't my grandmother anymore. It was my goat Gracie. She had been eaten down to almost nothing. She was still alive. Her head and neck were the only thing that looked normal. The rest of her body was just small heaps of meat and mostly bones piled together like intestines. bandaid But the hogs weren't around...however I knew they were nearby...but I was happy that at least I had help with me...even though it was too late. Manifestation: This was about a goat that I had found ill one morning. She was already a very weak goat and we knew she probably wouldn't live long from birth. ALL my goats came down with a cold. Along with the heat and dust, this particular goat, named Debbie, came down with acute pnumonia. I gave her antibiotics and brought her in the house and cooled her down. I tried everything I knew to do. I didn't bother with the vet because there are none remotely near me that specialize in goats (AT ALL). (me not calling the cops) My husband helped me, but one morning when I went to check on her I found her almost dead. I had to have my husband put her down because she was too far gone. The rest of my goats have the cold and now I'm treating two of them with antibiotics.(the two hogs that were immobilized) I know they will make it because both are very healthy. I believe that the name Gracie had meaning. She wasn't the goat this happened to and I believe this was the Lord showing me how He would give me the grace to get through it.

I dreamed I was in the front yard where a man had announced he was selling meat. The meat was huge and spread out everywhere. He handed out hangers that had been stretched out and the ends tied off. The idea was to stab as much meat and string it on the hanger until it was as full as you could get it. He was selling as much as you could grab before it was gone for only $10.00!!! There was another man that was faster than me and was stronger..he got the most meat. But I still scored 50lbs of buffalo meat for only ten dollars!!! I went inside to show my husband my prize and I was inspecting the meat to see if it was ok to eat. It looked a bit brown on top, but it was still good! I was so happy! Manifestation: i had several reminders the very next day about this dream. It seemed no matter what channel I turned the tv to, there was buffalo!! i knew the reminder was from the Lord that the dream would come to pass....I just didn't know what in the world it was! Well it was the end of the month and we were very low on supplies. Our food pantry and fridge were very low. But God has blessed us at the moment and we had previously applied for food stamps! Well two weeks after having this dream, my husband and I grabbed a buggy EACH and loaded up on beef! It was strange for us because we usually buy only fish, chicken and turkey. But we had gone without beef for so long that I was craving it. We literally "bought" probably 20-30 lbs of beef! Honestly if I went in there right now and counted it I wouldn't be surprised if it amounts to literally 50!!! When we were at the grocery store, my husband was grabbing meat along with me. I picked up a roast that looked a bit brown at the tip and wondered if it was good. I knew that it was normal to be that color and the date was fine. This was another manifestation of the dream. God is FAITHFUL!!!!

Dream: Small tornado forming I dreamed I looked out my living room window and saw a funnel cloud forming in the sky. It was a normal looking white cloud the funnel was forming from. I was glad the thing hadn't touched ground yet and was hopeful that it never would. However it was concerning to watch. I was also aware that I was home alone with my children and my husband was gone to church. Manifestation: This is actually manifesting right now. My husband is at church and there is a cool front BLOWING in. It's really bad because the dust is everywhere and the lights are flickering. The wind is blowing so hard I'm praying nothing will have permenant damage. I'll post the end results after this is over.

Dream: Tardy for class I dreamed I was at a school and I was on my way to class. The first bell had rung signaling we only had 10 min to get to class. I came to the classroom door at the end of the last five minutes. I barely made it but I was there. My mother who was also my professor met me at the doorway and told me to go to the office and get a tardy slip. I was baffled that she wouldn't let this slide. I was pretty sure I had gotten to the class on time. I asked her why? She told me she required her students to be in class five minutes early. I was thinking how rediculous that was. End of dream. Manifestation: IRL I am attending school online. The school is pretty laid back and I had become pretty comfortable about when and how I was getting my assignments done. Partly I had waited till the last minute to turn in my work but I felt I had completed it satisfactorily. Unfortunately, my instructor wasn't impressed. She counted off points for not writing enough material. I soon learned that what was ok for some instructors wasn't going to fly with her.

Dream: Building a Bridge I had a dream i was looking for a house. I went to my cousin's old house and saw they were building another house to rent out in front of the yellow house. I thought about asking them if we could rent it. When i walked/drove up to the driveway, i saw her son and my uncle were building a bridge. I believe I saw another cousin and he was being really sweet and was full of the Lord. I thought one of the planks of wood was bad, but i knew they would fix it or not allow it to be nailed down. I saw a friend of my sweet cousin's that was helping him nail stuff together. I remembered how i used to practice hammering and nailing stuff together. They were making things. whatever they were working on was just play but i knew it would help their skills for later...they were pretty good too. I remember going in the house and there were little dogs in there. i was talking to a person in there and helped them with something. I encouraged them in some way and showed them that they didn't have to have the same opinion as others. Manifestation: This dream was about actual events that had happened a year BEFORE I had the dream.

Dream: Terror on the Bridge Dream: I dreamed I saw my former co-worker Sasha. I knew we were different type of people and that she was kinda rebellious these days. We decided to hang out and got in my car (which was silver i think). I was driving and went over a bridge. The bridge was thin and the railing wasn't very tall. Suddenly Sasha grabbed the wheel and spun it over and over like the merry go round you find in playgrounds. We were spinning so fast i started screaming at her and panicking. I knew we could go over the bridge railing at any moment. I also knew there were cars flying by us and could hit us as well. There was a girl in the back seat who was concerned about our safety as well but she wasn't terrified like i was. I kept telling Sasha "Stop it stop it, I'm gonna puke! I'm pregnant and I always get nauseated. Do you want me to puke all over you?" She kept spinning for what seemed like forever. I suddenly realized I would just have to endure it and trust God. I was still frantic in my heart though. Sasha was having so much fun like she did that stuff all the time just for kicks. Finally she handed the wheel back over to me and told me You don't want to just grab the wheel and force it to stop spinning, you have to do it slowly or we really will be in trouble!" I was annoyed she would even think I was that dumb and I put my finger out and barely touched the wheel adding pressure to it to slowly stop spinning. Eventually the car stopped and I was shocked to see we weren't harmed at all. I hadn't even thrown up even though I did get a little bit nauseated. I noticed we weren't on the bridge anymore but we were a couple yards behind it. I knew we had traveled backwards and lost ground in the end. The girl in the back seat (rebecka) got out and was glad we were ok. She was really annoyed with me though for not having more faith, even though she herself had been concerned. Manifestation: During this time, My husband and I recently had a miscarriage. I had finally conceived once again but then began spotting. I was concerned I would miscarry and I had this dream. We actually did have a miscarriage, but I wasn't that far along. I had been so terrified of another miscarriage, but it wasn't as terrible of a loss as the first was. My husband was very disappointed in me during this time for not having more faith. But I couldn't understand why this kept happening to me just like I couldn't understand why this girl was being so crazy trying to kill us. In the end we had lost ground and gone backwards. But that didn't mean we couldn't recover and move forward once again. Which we did PRAISE GOD!!! We have our healthy son Maxson!!

Dream: Giant pecan I dreamed I was eating pieces of a giant pecan. My husband was saying that it wasn’t good enough and we might as well throw it out. I was munching on it and even though the consistency had changed because of its large size, it was still good flavor and good when you started chewing it. Then I saw how we cracked the shell open. It was a real huge pecan and I saw a hand crush part of it (possibly mine) and then my husband grabbed the rest and it just all fell to pieces. I didn’t want him taking all the credit for smashing the shell but I knew it was easier to break apart because it was so large. Manifestation: This dream was about two weeks before Christmas. I knew the pecan was about some kind of "fruit" we would benefit from because of the feelings in my dream. After we got home from our family Christmas gathering, we had huge giant trash bags stuffed FULL of toys for our kids and us. My husband despises a bunch of stuff so I made him go away while I sorted through it all because I didn't want him labeling some of it as "junk" and getting rid of it.

(Vision) Stork Coming: I had a vision of a stork with a hat on and it was flying in the sky on its way to deliver a note to Jeff. The note had a list and a big check on it. I saw the stork open its mouth and for a moment appear like it was a chick. I felt like something was on its way.. Manifestation: My husband had ordered a bunch of baby chicks from a hatchery and we had been waiting in anticipation for them to arrive. They arrived the morning after the night I had this vision.

Tall Tower: My husband had a dream that he and I were on top of a very high tower. He wasn't sure what kind of tower it was, but there were three poles attached to it supporting it. Then he said he looked at me and suggested we get down because it seemed the wise thing to do. I told him I didn't want to because I was having a fun time. Suddenly the winds came threatening to knock us off the tower. The winds blew so hard that it would have knocked the tower down if those three poles hadn't been there supporting it. Manifestation: At the time my husband and I were comfortable financially. We were, for the most part, being wise with our money but I got a bit too comfortable and was looking forward to spending more money soon (on things we really didn't HAVE to have) He advised me against it and I was hesitant to listen. Suddenly all these unexpected expenses came up and I had to cancel the things I was wanting to purchase. Our finances were in such trouble, and if it hadn't been for the Lord we would have suffered much loss. The three poles supporting the tower were our three income resources.

My husband and I have been in deep prayer before God on our faces the last few days. We will continue to do so and pray that our brothers and sisters in Him will join us.

Vision: Bull in a river I had a vision before going to sleep that I was looking out across this river. This bull was coming towards me and had completely immersed itself in water to swim towards me. Suddenly I saw hands on each end of the river holding a net that held the bull back and even moved it back closer to the shore. It seemed like something perfectly natural to the bull to do to come at me, almost like it was something it had always done. It was sort of a relief that the bull wasn’t coming, even though I felt I was used to the burden (if that’s what it was). Interpretation: I looked up the word Bull in the Bible, and this is what I found which was also the interpretation which fit my circumstance exactly! Isaiah 51:20 “Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God. Therefore hear now this thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine: Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, behold I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.” I took this to mean our family had suffered enough and God was bringing us out from under people's thumb and will deal with them according to their hearts. WHICH HE DID!!!!

Connie, I didn't post your dreams in the testing section cause I thought you might want to..
