A few nights ago, God dropped a "gem" on me in the form of a dream. When I woke up from it, I felt like I instantly knew what He was trying to tell me. He gave me a few dreams that night that preached to me. But this particular dream that I’m about to share preached to me a little bit more than the rest of them.
Okay, so picture it Sicily, 1912… Lol no just kidding (if you get it, you get it).
If you have dreams, you know how crazy they are sometimes and how they can jump around. In this dream I was observing, watching everything take place. So, the main character (it was female) had things about herself that she didn’t like. I don’t think they were physical, I believe they were more mental and emotional. Things that she couldn’t heal from that were in her past. She was seeing a therapist and she and the therapist started to form a bond. Within this bond the therapist started to reveal things about herself (the therapist was also female). She told the “main character” that she had a daughter but was no longer in contact with the daughter. She hadn’t seen her daughter since she was a little girl. (Now in my dream it wasn’t revealed WHY she hadn’t seen her daughter, but just that she hadn’t seen her in a really long time).. The dream then cuts to other females waiting to be seen by the therapist, but while they were waiting to be seen by the therapist it looked like they were all reliving bad things that happened to them that had landed them in the therapist seat. It was at this point in the dream that I realized that I was not the only one observing these people. They were being televised; people were watching what was happening to the characters within my dream on tv. (Which I felt was strange, but this is a dream, so) … It cuts to the therapist about to do surgery on the “main character.” I don’t know what she was about to do surgery on. And yes, I know therapists don’t do surgery but take that up with my dream not me (lol). The therapist had on her scrubs and gave the “main character’s” family and friends what had looked to be a rundown on what was about to happen. She turned around and was walking out of the waiting room into these double doors with a long brightly lit hallway. She suddenly turned around and looked at the tv that was in the waiting room, which oddly enough had a picture of the “main character” from when she was a little girl on it. The therapist/surgeon gasped and said, “where did that picture come from?” “Who put that picture up there?” The “main character’s" family and friends that were in the waiting room informed her that that was who she was about to do surgery on (the main character). Remember I said the whole thing was being televised within my dream. So, before the therapist could even say that that was the daughter she hadn’t seen since she was a child, someone who was watching the dream being televised said “Oh my God, that’s her daughter” and they said it so loud I woke up out of my dream, and I could still hear their voice once I had woken up.
Crazy dream I know, and God just revealed something even now as I’m writing about the dream, (that it’s two-folded.)
I mainly wanted to point out the therapist. Initially when I had decided to share this dream with you guys, the lesson I took away from it was “taking a leap of faith.” It wasn’t until the therapist was about to go and do surgery on the “main character” that she observed something that made her realize that, that was her daughter. It wasn’t until she was standing in “action mode” that she received information that she probably has been longing for, for years. I also found it interesting that others were watching my dream like it was a tv show. I felt like God was telling me that your trials and tribulations can be used for others to see how far you’ve come. How He has given you grace and saved you. He can use you to help elevate others to where they need to be…
Are we waiting on God to show us something or reveal something to us? Isn’t having faith believing what you can’t see? Believing that even when you can’t see Him, hear Him, feel Him, that He is still working on your behalf. So maybe He wants you to move by faith then the rest will start revealing itself to you. I remember when I started this blog. Initially I just heard Him telling me to write. Me, thinking he was leading me to write a book, and me not wanting to write a book I stalled for a few weeks. I was like, I’m not writing a book, I don’t have the time, motivation, or focus to write a book. It wasn’t until I started to just be obedient and just say “okay, you want me to write, please give me the words to say” and as I sat down and wrote, He downloaded in me that He wanted me to write blogs. Knowing when He wants me to be still, and when He wants me to take that leap of faith used to be hard to distinguish between. But as my relationship with Him grows and I’m learning His voice and what that sounds like in my life, He’s teaching me how to know which one to do.
Also, I just realized how the therapist shows up in the “main character’s” life. She shows up as
- Therapist
- Surgeon
- Long Lost Mother
It reminded me of the ways that God shows up in our lives if we let him. He can be the therapist that we talk to that works through us to fix the issues within our lives. He can be the surgeon operating on us mentally and emotionally. And he can also be the long-lost parent that we hadn’t seen since we were a child that is longing for us to return to Him. Also, as we spend time in God’s presence. He too begins to share things about Himself. For me He has shown me His presence, in the peace He has brought me through a lot of different trials in my life…
So, I just want to encourage all of you today. Is there something that you are feeling that God is calling you to start or do? But are you waiting for him to start it for you? He needs you to go into “Action-mode” and start what He has already downloaded in you. Move by faith because He also moves by faith!
