Dreams...

The brilliance of God, He is the Almighty! My prayer this morning was for wisdom and yet if we are to understand the truth as it exists we need to co-exist with the reality of it (truth) in its entirety. Let the Holy Spirit lead us in some meaningful thought. Some have asked “how certain are you that there is life after death?” The atheist reaches into the depths of his unbelief as he endeavours to gainsay his conscience, as it annoys away at his intellect. “Can a leopard change its spots”? God has created all from the same substance; we all come from the seed of Adam, the first man. The Gentile bleeds no differently to the Jew. The same substance runs through our veins. We can relate to another realm, dreams are a part of our reality and they live only when we sleep. Visions have happened for some but not for many; however the sceptic may have just cause to doubt its authenticity because they are not privy to them. My friends, we have all had dreams that were so vivid that they almost scared us to the point of reality and then our eyes opened and the dream dissolved into a distant memory which is soon forgotten, until our next sleep.

I want us to contemplate this topic, dreams (“a sequence of images that appear involuntarily to the mind of somebody who is sleeping, often a mixture of real and imaginary characters, places, and events”). We have all been created with the capacity to dream and if you have never had a dream ignore what I have to say, if not, I pray that it will heighten a concept that you have kept at bay, the topic is life after death! You may ask, “What does the one have to do with the other”? It is just another clue that helps cement the reality of life after death. All of life’s indications point us towards Christ, even our dreams often teach us that we need saving. It is an awareness that teaches us about another realm, the life of that which is unseen. There are many sects and cults in today’s world that believe that angels exist but not that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life. Why? The answer is always the same; we all come from the same substance. Our conscience drives us to question what happens when we die and we all have somewhere along life’s journey asked ourselves that question. It is part of our makeup.

Let’s explore a scenario; if a student had a question that needed answering what would they need to do in order to find the answer? They would need to ask someone with the answer to the question, and unless the question was asked they would remain in the dark. God has promised that if you ask the right question you shall find the correct solution; "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7-8) – The truth be told, unless you ask with sincerity you will never come to the realisation of what is true. It will take a miracle to understand, it needs God’s intervention to heighten your understanding, but we need to be searching out the answer for that to happen.   

    

God has chosen to reveal Himself to a world encapsulated with both the seen and the unseen worlds. The carnal and spiritual realm exists for all. We live in the reality of the natural but often think about the existence of that which is unseen to the naked eye; the spiritual world is part of our makeup. We have all been cut from the same cloth. We have been blessed or cursed depending upon how we view it by the minds of brilliant men throughout history. Did you know that regardless of how brilliant a person may appear, if that individual concludes that there is no God, all it proves is that they are UNINFORMED AND HAVE BEEN DECEIVED! Before I become a condemning voice in a world on a path of destruction, I am reminded that I too was amongst that number prior to salvation. Therefore while a person breathes, regardless of their current understanding, there is determined hope through our prayers that God may reveal Himself to them. Be bold with your witness; be deliberate for that is the will of God for our lives.

The world is latching onto a lie that seems to be making headway at a rapid pace, which is; “good things happen to good people”! It is deceit like a compass that has lost its magnetic power; it points you north when in fact you are travelling south and you are none the wiser until it’s too late to turn around, death will have the final say, and then the judgement!

Ask yourself the question, why am I blogging? I do not get paid for it. It takes effort and requires time. Some of my reasoning is selfishness; it feeds my hope as it allows me to examine my own heart. But that is not the only reason, my prayer is for someone to read something penned, have their lives changed and in turn end up in God’s army as one of His soldiers. Only God has it in His power to save us from certain condemnation and yet He has chosen the Word, through the foolishness of preaching to save some.

In a very small capacity that is why I blog, I am hopeful that God would be gracious and use something I have penned in order that someone may live in Him. Society will make every effort to keep us from finding Him. This is why I speak out against the systems of this world.
