Confirmation Of Jesus With A Dream

What I read absolutely floored me! 

I would like to begin my story with my childhood.  I was not raised in church and recall visiting one a few times with my parents and with a neighbor down the street .  I could practically count on my hands the number of times I had been. I had hoped there was a God but honestly didn’t know. 

When in Middle School at the age of 14 or 15, we were introduced to Darwin’s theory and I was almost convinced this was the truth. I remember thinking that people believed in God only because there was no other explanation of how we got here. I also felt that people feared death and couldn’t deal with that fact of once you died you were gone. So they believed there was an after life from believing in God. I was disheartened, for I really would liked to believe in God and his Promise of one day being with him in heaven.

When I married, my husband and his family were believers that attended church. I recall going to church with him and feeling so empty, wishing I could feel good like these people did, but how could I? I wasn’t sure of his existence. I decided I would find out if he was there, one way or another. 

I went on a crusade of constant praying. I prayed every night.  I did this for months, saying to God, I have heard that if you seek you will find.  I told him I am seeking you God, asking to find you.  After about two months I came to the conclusion that God did not exist. I laid crying in bed for I had really hoped he was there. 
My husband turned to face me and asked why I was so upset. I hesitated telling him of my conclusion, I didn’t want to hurt his faith, but I so needed to talk about it.  I told him about me telling God that I heard if ye seek, ye shall find.  I did seek and he was no where to be found! My husband then said to seek God means you will find him in the Bible. He asked me to get the Bible and read. I had already made my mind up at this point, but I decided to appease him.

I have to tell you, I wouldn’t of known the difference between the Old and New Testament.  With my husband at my side I just opened it up and began to read a page. I couldn’t tell you verse or scripture, but what I read ABSOLUTELY FLOORED ME!  I read about when Jesus comes back to the earth.  It described there would be gnashing of the teeth.  Now this is the part that caused tingling down my spine.  It said that there would be stars falling from the sky. After reading that part, I paused and the only way I can describe the way I was feeling was total shock!  I told my husband, YOU WILL NEVER, EVER, BELIEVE THIS!  I told him of a dream I had as a child.  I can vividly describe it all, from how I was feeling to the pace of my movements. 

“In my dream I recall being very calm while all around me was chaos, people running in the streets from fear, as in the verse I had read about the gnashing of teeth .  I was so calm and repeated the words, don’t worry, Jesus is coming.  I said this several times and remember slowing lifting my head to the sky, seeing that the stars were falling.”

The verse about the stars falling really hit me hard because I would never of known that when Jesus came back to the earth stars would be falling from the sky. As you recall, I would not have that knowledge because of my lack of church experience, nor from never reading the Bible. I always feared telling this story for I believed people would think, how can she remember a dream from her childhood ? 

But you know, I think God knew in advance that I would be seeking him and he wanted me to find him.  So he gave me a gift, the gift of showing me this dream as a child that I would remember in the future. What are the possibilities of opening the Bible with so many pages and finding just the right page?  Coincidence? I don’t think so! I have other stories, but this was my first experience with God revealing himself to me.

Wow soo I came across this site in help for some inspiration. Im 19 years old and for the past 2 months I have been suffering from anxiety attacks which have just now surfaced from fear of medical problems. A year ago I went into septic shock and had a fifty percent chance of living and lately I have been getting anxiety just from thinking about it. The thought of dying and the thought of the unknown reallly scares me. So lately I have been praying to god for protection and good health. But after reading this story I thought well maybe I should pray to god and ask for a sign/proof that he is watching over me. So literally a half hour ago I read this story and My boyfriend and I left the house to go to block buster. Before we left I was in the bathroom and I looked in the mirror and I said “god will you show me a sign that you exisit that you are here.” I repeated that once again in my head and left to go down to blockbuster. We got to blockbuster just to find out that it was closed. My boyfirend and I were like “what blockbuster closes at ten??” we laughed it off and got in the car. As soon as we got in the car I turned on the RADIO and tuned in immediatly to the words coming out of the speaker “and here’s to you Mrs. Robinson jesus loves you more than you will know wuwuwu god bless you please Mrs. Robinson heaven holds a place for those who pray hey hey hey...hey hey hey” Suddenly a huge smile came across my face and I knew it was god answering my prayer through a very HUGE passion of mine which is music. While I was listening to the song I thought WOW out of the millions of song that could be playing right now, why this one? and what perfect timing...I would of never herd it if blockbuster was open. Its the little things I have realized that god does. Everyone is looking for huge life changing experiences or miracles in order to find god, but i believe it is the little things he does to show you that he is here. Thank you for this post for it is because of this post that god sent me that little reassuring sign of faith, hope, and comfort.

Erica, I’m so sorry I’m just seeing your comment to my story.  I’m so grateful that my story was used by God to help someone.  It’s so amazing to me how God works, and it happens so often.  I want to write about your fear of dying.  When I was your age it terrified me, I couldn’t imagine not being here or I woud question did it hurt when you passed.  I recall when my father was getting on in years knowing he would be facing death in the near future we discussed his will and his thoughts on death.  Of course just the thought of him leaving me caused me great grief and I started crying.  I didn’t even want to think about that.  But my father told me that he wasn’t scared of dying, that when he was young he was scared but now he had no fear because of his faith.  I really thought my Dad was lying to me to make me feel better and so I woudn’t worry about him.  Now that I’m older and know my years are numbered I realize that he was telling the truth, because I have no fear.  You may not believe it but I’m looking forward to it!  Why wouldn’t I love to be on the longest and greatest vacation of my life! During life here on earth you will have many sorrows, pain, worrys, and fears.  But when you go to heaven you will have none of that.  And I know without one ounce of doubt that God does exist, thats why I have NO fear.  And I have NO doubts that when that song came on the radio, it was for you sent by God.  He loves you and he hears your prayers.  God Bless you girl, and if you just need to talk you can email me deaniemberry@yahoo.com

I was just reading some of the wonderful stories, searching for a comforting word, and have found many.  I buried my baby girl yesterday.  She was 28 years old.  It is hard to describe the pain that I feel right now, the pain we all feel. She had been married just 4 months.  I know my baby was a child of GOD. Her husband gave me my Daughters’ BIBLE and when I opened it, on the very first page, my baby had written a letter to JESUS, and her words dispelled any doubt that I might have ever had.  I know my baby is with our Saviour, and HE has given me peace.  GOD bless and keep you all.

Carl I know your pain, I lost my baby boy less than 2 years ago.  He was just recently engaged to be married.  I was like you looking for anything to comfort me and that is how I found this site.  I don’t know if this is allowed but if you would like to talk personally to me I would love to. Deanie (contact info removed by site’s owner to protect privacy) I have some other amazing things to tell you.

Megan honey, it was just a nightmare I believe.  We all have them, the mind can come up with so many crazy things.  I think you have been thinking of spiritual things and it was in your subconscious.  When you mix that with certain everyday worries or problems your mind can take a dream into a nightmare.  I don’t have all of the answers, but I do know one thing.  If you accept Jesus into your heart and know that he died on the cross for you.  NOTHING AND NO ONE can harm you from the evil side.  Pray to God that he will take away your fears.  You will feel his love and have comfort.  I do want to say this to you Megan, I hope I didn’t confuse you with my story, God knew in my heart how badly I wanted to find him.  I didn’t go to God telling him to prove it.  We should never be demanding of God.  We should go to God in prayer telling him that we are seeking him.  He did know in my heart I wanted to find him so badly, I told God I’m seeking you Lord.  Megan, forget about that horrible nightmare and with all of your heart tell God you are seeking him.  He will bring you such peace, he loves us all so much that he sacrificed his son for us.  Megan, I hope I helped you, I had a dream like that one time when I was about your age, and it scared me to death! But Gods love covers all.  God Bless you honey! I will say a prayer for you.

Hello Meghan,
I am not the person who wrote their story, but I wanted to reply to you.
I believe that you are having a spiritual experience. The fact that you prayed a while ago, and then you had a dream that effected you so emotionally..... I don’t think that it’s a coincidence. I also don’t think it’s just your imagination playing games with you, but you should find out for yourself.

Find some time you can be alone, and have an honest talk with God. Tell him anything, any questions you have, any doubts you have, fears, hopes etc.... just be honest with him. Don’t worry, he already knows everything about you and any thoughts you already have. What he wants is a relationship with you.

Also, ask him if he is trying to tell you something. And ask for forgiveness of your sins. We all sin and God already knows what they are, but he wants you to acknowledge them so that he can forgive them. Having your sins forgiven is like taking a spiritual bath, God can get closer to you b/c you smell better. :0) If certain things come to your mind, ask specifically to be forgiven for those things. Then ask God to fill you up with the Holy Spirit.

You can have the exact opposite experience from the scary one you had if you come to God with an honest heart. You will experience God’s presence; his love and peace.  You won’t be disappointed by God, God really is amazing.

Well I have had dreams that came true all my life, the first of many was about how I could not run anymore, this went on for about a year, when I was 11yrs old, At the end of the dream each time I would be on this old dirt road, an then some thing made look to the west and I would see this bright flash of light, and then I would look down at my legs, an I could see the flesh burn off to the bone an then wake up,(I seen this dream 50-60 times.  10yrs later I am in a wheelchair, paralized in both legs from the knees, So I thought the last part of the dream would not come true because I had to learn how to walk with cains, Well the funny thing is I have learned how to walk agin with out cains, just like in the dream NO caines, Now this last dream I had a week ago realy bothers me, And this one felt so real like the other ones that came true, I was out side on the pourch an I seen the clouds start moving fast to the north and then the stars started to fall from the sky,(not fall but, went to the north just like the clouds) an then I walk to the front door an tell my girlfreind something bad is going to happen, then the earth starts to shake real bad, Now I have to tell you dreams like this one has always come true sooner or later,
