Passing through difficult days with many heavy burdens on my soul, I shed a few tears lamenting that there was no one whom I could really call a friend and share my deepest thoughts. Not many believers and ministers really have the gift to listen and be there. Often there will be a quick piece of advice or a strategy to pray, perhaps rebuke the devil. Moreover ministers rarely find believers who can be there to listen to them, for they are already weighed down by many things and expect the ministers to help them out.
Away from family, sitting quietly in the stillness of the night with a over-burdened soul, I said in my heart, "If only there was someone who could understand and care..."
Of course, I knew that God cared, but these were moments where I felt he was God and me a mere mortal and in a world with billions of people, how could he possibly stand still and hear? I pondered over the problems that persisted despite praying for a couple of years and grieved.
A few tears flowed and then in the stillness of the night, the still small voice sang an old song to my soul, one that I had not sung in years. It was a Malayalam song, the lyrics of which went in this manner...Jesus is greater than all, a dear friend to my soul, even if a mother forgets, he will be a friend who never forgets me; even if everyone deserts me, Jesus will always be near me; every problem I face will fade away as I rest in his arms. The tears flowed even more as I listened, but these were tears that brought peace and rest to me. My burdens were lightened. Praise God.
Have you heard a song in your heart when you are distressed and burdened? Not a song which you have taken an effort to remember and bring to your mind, but one that you feel came out of nowhere?
That one, that came out of nowhere was the still small voice of God speaking to your heart. Remember, he loves you with an everlasting love because you are his child.

Here a dream, there a dream
One night the Lord showed me a dream concerning a believer, who was a member in a congregation where I preached and taught the Word of God. I was giving her a big and beautiful cake with fruit toppings. That was all. I rarely had any interaction with this believer, perhaps had wished her with a "Praise the Lord" and received the same in return. I could not interpret the dream immediately, so waited for an opportune moment to speak to her to see what the Lord had in mind. Around 7-10 days later, I happened to meet her and told her that I had seen a dream about her. Immediately she said, "I too saw a dream about you. In the dream, I was handing over an infant in to your hands." When I heard that, I was even more perplexed.
I took some time talking to her to find out what the Lord's purpose was concerning these dreams. She was a middle aged woman who had been working in this gulf country for a few years. She came from a religious background where the Church that she went to, in her home country, was involved in idolatry and also prayed to many saints. Presently, she worshiped in the Church that I was ministering in, a Bible believing Church, worshiping in spirit and in truth.
As I kept talking, I realized that she still had spiritual ties to her old Church and believed in many of the practices there. Now understanding the dream, I knew Jesus wanted her to consecrate herself to him and worship the Trinity only. God was granting her the best (in the form of the beautiful cake in my dream-the Gospel with it's right doctrines), but she would have to give whatever she held on to (the infant in her dream- her immature knowledge of the Word).
I explained the dreams to her and prayed for her that the Holy Spirit of God may guide her in to all truth. I believe God will complete the work he has started in her and bring glory to his name. Praise the Lord.
Paul the Apostle writes to the church at Corinth about consecration or being set apart for God...
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:16-18)

Another healing
From June 2018, for 3 months I suffered from a irritating cough. The itchy sensation in my throat persisted throughout the day and whenever I woke up at night. Initially I used throat lozenges and took a course of antibiotics, but it did not have much effect. Anti-allergic tablets (antihistamines) made me drowsy, so I stopped them. Prayer was not a second option; I had been praying all along for a healing from the Lord Jesus Christ. I stopped taking cold liquids and fruits that could irritate and increase the problem, resorted to taking warm liquids and continued with cough lozenges. Since it did not give me relief, I took another course of antibiotics. Meanwhile I had to travel to many places and air travel and air conditioning increased the problem. Preaching worsened the cough on occasions and it was more difficult during those times. There wasn't much I could do but continue to pray and wait upon the Lord for a healing. Everyday I confessed the promises of healing found in the Bible. The miracle happened after around 3 months; one day I woke up and found that the irritation in the throat had gone and there was no more cough.
Over the past many years, God has healed my sicknesses on so many occasions and I am grateful to him for that. What the Gospel writer Matthew says is true..."He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses.."
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. (Matthew 8:16, 17)

Doves & Sparrows
I saw this dream on the night before I was to preach in a church. The verse that the Lord had given me was this.... Joshua 10:14...
There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!
In the dream I saw many doves and sparrows caught in a hole and after I touch them, they are set free and fly away.
It was a simple dream to interpret. God was showing me that through the message that I preached the next day, many in the Church would receive deliverance and that is exactly what happened after I preached that the Lord would fight for his people. The message was based on how God fought for Joshua and the Israelites against many kings and also stopped the sun and moon in it's daily course.
Many truly experienced healing and deliverance. While praying I said that the Lord was healing a person with pain in the lower back with tingling and numbness in both lower limbs. I also called out a couple of names of people that the Lord brought to my mind and prayed for them.
After the meeting was over, a women testified that she had pain in her lower back and problems in both her lower limbs and she had received healing. One of the names that I called out was the name of the daughter of a woman in the congregation. She came and told me that it was her daughter's name that I had called out. Her daughter was in India and she was here, working in Qatar. I could then pray for her and her daughter. Many others in the congregation also found deliverance that evening and they testified later.
The dream had come to pass. What the Lord had shown came true. The doves and sparrows caught in the hole represented the believers in the congregation and their flying away after I (touched them) preached, signified them being set free from their problems. Praise God for his faithfulness.

To compromise or not
One night I dreamed regarding a friend of mine who is the head of a very big academic institution. He is also an evangelist and a Bible teacher. In the dream I saw him standing near a table and in his hands is a very huge sword which is shining brightly. As he is looking at it, suddenly a couple of guys come near him. They are dressed like thugs and have small knives in their hands. They invite my friend to go with them on an errand. My friend looks at the big sword in his hands and then wonders whether to go with them or not. The dream ended there.
When I spoke about this dream to my friend, he said there were a couple of people who had approached him regarding a matter concerning the institution that he was working in. He was not sure about their motives and so needed to be cautious when dealing with them.
In the dream my friend had a big shining sword in his hands which indicated him standing with the Word of God, which is also called "The sword of the Spirit". When approached by a couple of worldly characters, my friend is faced with the decision whether to go with them or not.
He had a choice to make.
Sometimes in our day to day lives as believers in Jesus Christ, we are faced with choices to make. The question arises then whether we would compromise with the written Word of God. Choosing the wrong path may bring immediate benefits in our lives, but the question is whether it would please our Savior Jesus Christ. Choosing the the right path may bring clashes with others and delays in things working out, but we would definitely have God's support because we stand for the truth, according to God's Word.
Often we compromise with the world telling ourselves that is OK. When we pray to God regarding the compromise, we even try to justify our wrong choice.
The Bible says that we must not live to please ourselves and that whatever we do, we must do for the glory of god. When we make the right choices, we will have the peace of God in our hearts and our hearts won't condemn us.
