@Fushigi: That is awesome =D I'm amazingly jealous.
This guy in a Bible study I attended... once had a dream really similar...ish. I don't remember all the details but Jesus was driving around a giant semi-truck and all his friends were partying it up in the back and the truck passed by him and he was all sad so he was like "Dude, Jesus, what the heck?" and then Jesus came back and was like "My son, did you really think I would forget you?"
It was a lot more powerful when he told it though sweatdrop
As I've said, I have yet to be blessed with something this cool... hahaha.

Fushigi na Butterfly Okay, so here's the dream I had a while back that I thought was pretty cool, and you guys can make of it what you will. Sorry it's a bit long; it is interesting though. 3nodding
Last night I had a dream the world came to an end. Normally when I have dreams like that, they're freaky and it's all the moon getting sucked into the sun and the earth explodes and people die and somehow I stay alive to witness it all. >> Last night wasn't like that at all. I remember floating down a river with my friends and family (I don't know why o.o) and random people I knew from FireFall (on Gaia). Suddenly, as I'm coming up around this bend, I hear people saying "I see Him! I see God!" and exclaiming things like they were being pulled out of the water so that they could stand above it. I started swimming because I certainly wasn't going to miss my opportunity to see Jesus face to face. And there, standing up on this hill along the bank of this river was Jesus. But He was so modern I almost wanted to laugh, because He didn't look anything like what paintings portray Him as. His hair was long and dirty-blonde, but instead of being wavy, He had dreadlocks, and some of the strands were dyed blue. He wore a big T-shirt and baggy pants, and sandals (like the kind all guys wear now). He was standing there, preaching, and reaching down to pull His people up to Heaven (which was apparently behind Him). What was interesting was that the hill was so steep that you couldn't climb it without being pulled up, and only Jesus was reaching down to pull people up. The other freaky part was that those who weren't Christians couldn't see Him. They stood there in waist-high water, looking around at the Christians getting pulled up to the bank, wondering how it was they could get up there. I remember turning to this guy and saying "Can't you see Him? Jesus is standing right there." He only looked at me like I was crazy. Then he said something like he used to believe, but after so much time, it just felt like a fairy tale to him. At this point, Jesus looked pointedly at this guy. He jumped down off the hill and laid down on top of the water so that He could look up at this guy. The guy could see Him now. Jesus told him that even though he used to believe, there was nothing He could do for him now. He had missed his chance, even though there were plenty of other people out there that were trying to spread the message that Jesus was the only way.
After this part, my dream panned out into the universe, with stars and galaxies swirling and it was so beautiful. I could see God's eye somehow; it took up the whole sky. It was pointing to something- like a cluster of stars or something. Jesus said, "That's Heaven. That's where I'm taking you. When scientists look through their telescopes they're going to discover this new system and have no explanation for it. That's where we'll be." I thought "Heaven is another galaxy? How weird."
Yeah ... I know ... weird ... sweatdrop Thats an awesome dream. I have been getting revelation that Jesus is coming for us very very soon. It may have something to do with that fact. I think it does anyways. I think he is coming in our lifetime. I know the bible says we dont know the time or place. But it also says that God is going to give us clues as to about when its going to happen. He is trying to get our attention right now, to give us the message that he is coming very very soon. So we can be ready, and then tell others. He has said to modern day prophets now that. "Many Christians will be surprised" and "My Kingdom is ready for my children" "I am coming for them sooner then they think" When Jesus comes back, we will hear the trumpet. But I dont think non-believers will hear it at all. We will all be caught up in the air, and the others will be left on the ground, in terror and confusion. I had a dream, about a year ago. It was dark. and suddenly a cross appeared far off. It looked really small. Then it started to get closer and closer very slow like. It was ver beautiful. It was gold and had gems and jewels all over it. As it was coming closer I started to hear this whisper over and over again. "Revelations" "Revelations" "Revelations" "Revelations". It was getting louder as the cross was getting closer. Untill it got right up to my face and I could hear the whisper very loudly. Then everything went dark again. After a little while, it happened again. exactally like the first time. then everything went black again. Then for a third time, It happened once more. This time however, it was different. The picture was the same, and everything was moving like it had the last 2 times. But I heard another whisper. To this day, im not exactally sure what it was. The whisper was speaking very fast. I think it may have been in latin or something of that nature. Maybe it was toungues? I dont know. But the pattern of the voice sounded as if it where quoting scripture. Then it got close and the whisper sounded harsher, and i felt more anxious and excited. Then I woke up. I still felt excited and my heart was beating harder than you normally would when you wake up from a sleep.

And those who say that, "well, people have been saying the end times are coming" for a while now are right. The Bible likens the End Times to a woman going into labor. Contractions start off weak and few and far between, and as the baby gets closer to being born, they become more painful, closer, more frequent. I think we have been preparing for the End Times for a hundred years or so now.

I'm in youth group right now in Korea, and I know a 6th grader who can speak in tongues and our youth group president can too! Almost 1/4 the people in our youth group can speak in tongues! but everytime I ask for God for that gift, I feel that I am not ready for it, and I get doubts...
the teachers said to me that it's okay to ask for the Lord's gifts..because it's the right thing to do..I really want the Gifts, but not for myself...for the Lord, I am ready to use^^

I know this post is old but I couldn't help noticing it. I'm beginning to think that this guild is really good for me and my faith!
My experience of spiritual gifts (or lack of them) is that of a stressed and stubborn one. You know how you pray to God for something (especially regarding spiritual gifts) and you get a sense of God telling you the reason why you're not getting it. I always come back to the same thing: my pride in myself. It's holding me back, choking my faith, killing my fruits, stunting my growth and stealing my joy for the Lord. I can never let go because I don't want to go back to the way things were when I was younger.
It was a time when I was relaxed and joyful in being my sensitive self, but I was never proud, and it resulted in some awful situations. I feel that it's 'saving face' that has 'protected' me from ridicule since then.
Please pray for me as I learn to let go of my pride in myself and learn to be unashamed in Christ! cry

Aww ... I think we all need to pray for that. Pride is the worst of the sins I think, because it leads people to do so many stupid things.
I'm glad this guild could be helpful for you. heart

I feel that it's 'saving face' that has 'protected' me from ridicule since then. Please pray for me as I learn to let go of my pride in myself and learn to be unashamed in Christ! cry Please keep in mind that the popular interpretation of the Apostles "speaking in tongues" wasn't what some modern churches have made of it. If you read what it really says, it says that the Apostles were given the ability to speak and understand multiple languages ("tongues" being another word for languages) in the market places of Jerusalem, which had many foreign traders, and which would have been far more impressive and miraculous than a bunch of people babbling in strange tongues that no one could understand. They would have been ignored or written off as babbling mystics, who were of no consequence. But someone who could speak to foreigners in their own tongues and tell them about Jesus was of far greater value. Some people point to the letters of Paul, where Paul claims to speak in the tongues of men and angels, and tells people about the various gifts of the Holy Spirit. You will notice that he considered "speaking in tongues" the least important of all, and his attitude was, "if it makes you feel good, do it - but there are far greater things you can do." So then, where does the practice of speaking in tongues come from? You may not like it. When paul was travelling through Greece, he had a terrible time weaning Greek converts from their pagan practrices, just as later he had the same problem with Roman converts. great energy is spent in his letters, writing back to the churches he'd built, telling his converts, "no, no...you've got it all wrong...it's not that way at all." But speaking in tongues was a practice that came out of Greek mystery religions, and it was a practice they understood and were comfortable with. So Paul allowed them to keep it, so long as they minimized it. In the 20th century, the practice began to come back, and some churches have even gone so far as to say you have to speak in tongues to prove you're a Christian, or even to BE a Christian. You realize, of course, that this is in direct contradiction to Christian teachings, and becomes salvation by Works rather than Faith. I knew a very nice Christian lady (who is with the Lord now) who went to a fairly nice, friendly church, and I went with her several times. It had a big empasis on speaking in tongues. But my friend was unhappy because she could never share in the joys of such a gift. It used to make her feel depressed and even question her salvation. Then one day, after reading the tongues passages over and over, she realized that God had never said this was a requirement, and that Paul actually said it was something very unimportant - to a group of former pagans who couldn't rid themselves of some of their pagan ways. Just something to think about.
