An e-mail to Rev. David Wilkerson

Going through some of the e-mails I sent to people of dreams that I had seen regarding them, I found this from the year 2010.

April 7, 2010 - 8:45pm

Dear Mr. Wilkerson,

Hope you are doing well by God's Grace.
Please do pray for your health. I saw 2 dreams of you coming down with a
stroke.

God bless you and family.

Warm Regards,
Dr. Johnson Cherian

A reply that I received from
WORLD CHALLENGE, INC. David Wilkerson Ministries went like this....

Thank you for your e-mail; a copy will be sent on to Reverend
Wilkerson. We appreciate you letting us know. There will be special
prayer against this.

May the Lord bless you,
........................................

Compared to the great heights that the Rev. Wilkerson reached, in him serving the Almighty, I consider myself of not much importance, yet God has no favorites it would seem, as he revealed to me twice in a night, a sickness coming to his beloved servant who lived in the USA, thousands of miles away, just to pray and avert the ailment from happening.

Remember, as a child of God or as a servant of God, someone somewhere is praying for you even though you are unaware of it. God has his intercessors placed at strategic places all over the world. You are precious to God. You are not alone in this difficult trek towards the Heavenly Canaan. God is with you all the way. So

Be strong and of good courage; don't be afraid, neither be dismayed: for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go. (Joshua 1:9)

David Ray Wilkerson (May 19, 1931 – April 27, 2011) was an American Christian evangelist, best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade. He was the founder of the addiction recovery program Teen Challenge, and founding pastor of the non-denominational Times Square Church in New York City. (Wikipedia)

People returning kindness are rare

In this dream, I was seen standing in a house with a far relative of mine. He was with his mother with whom I exchanged pleasantries, but when I started speaking to him, he just ignored me and walked away. As he walked away, I knew in my heart that he did it because someone had influenced him wrongly in to thinking that I had done some wrong to another person who was bad mouthing me and my family. After he walked away, I saw myself standing alone (in the dream) thinking about the many times that I had helped their family as a doctor. Not only him, but his parents and brother had asked for my help regarding their ailments several times in the past. Free consultations because they were relatives. His mother had several times asked for prayer regarding their family matters too.

The truth is very few people remember the kindness that we show them. Be it unbelievers or believers, very few people really care. We may help them in many ways, but  they may not remember it. The best then is not to expect anything in return, for doing so may bring many hurts.

Joseph, son of Jacob, while in prison (Old Testament- Book of Genesis, Chapter 40) helped the cup bearer of the king by interpreting his dream and asked him to put in a good word for him to the king after he was released from prison,but he forgot the matter altogether.

Jesus Christ our Savior, who is the author and finisher of our faith was insulted and rejected by his own, though all he did was good. Luke writes to Theophilus,
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. (Acts 10:38)

Let's look to him then, for he is there with us as our role model, brother and friend, promising never to leave us nor forsake us.

Baptism a second time?

This was an unusual dream. In the dream, I was standing ready to baptize a believer in water, but suddenly I realized that I had already baptized him a couple of years back. As we stood in the waters, I looked surprised and amused. The dream ended there.

As I pondered on the dream the next day, the Holy Spirit revealed a few truths to me. Some believers, though they are very enthusiastic at the time of water baptism, taking a decision to be set apart for Jesus Christ, sooner or later they drift away from the teachings about righteousness and live like unbelievers, indulging in worldly lusts and pursuits. It's like they were never baptized, meaning that they nullify the significance that water baptism has; water baptism which is a pledge of a clear conscience towards God, water baptism which signifies pursuing heavenly matters, water baptism which points to being buried with Jesus Christ into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, one may live a new life.

There is another category of Christians. As adults, they are baptized in water with their bodies but do not have any enlightenment regarding the same in their hearts and minds. Perhaps they did it because others pressurized them or they did it just because they saw others do it.

Whatever it be, here was a person whom I had baptized, now needing to renew his commitment to his Savior Jesus Christ. (Not that I would baptize him again, there's no Biblical precedent for that.) Are you also like him or are you standing firm in your dedication and devotion to Jesus Christ?

Unspoken smallest of desires

Last Sunday (17.03.2019), I was in our Church in Kerala, taking part in the service, worshiping along with my family and my brothers and sisters in Christ. The worship was being led by our Pastor and we were singing songs glorifying God for his goodness and mercies in our lives. After a couple of songs were sung, I felt a great desire in my heart to sing the well known song, "Because he lives, I can face tomorrow", but since the worship was going on, I didn't want to interfere and thought that I would ask the Pastor to sing that song after my sermon.

The worship continued with the Pastor singing another song. It was an enriching experience and I could feel the presence of God in our midst. Finally when I thought that he would stop, he suddenly started singing the one song that my heart desired that day. I was pleasantly surprised and praised God when he sang "Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone; Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, Just because He lives!"
It was a wonderful experience as we all joined together in lifting our voices to heaven and thanked God for his faithfulness once again.

Coincidence, is what some may say regarding this, but as a believer in Jesus Christ, I believe that God knows the smallest of our unspoken righteous desires and answers us in his inimitable way.

When Jesus walked the earth more than 2000 years back, as he interacted with people, he knew exactly what they were thinking in their minds regarding him. They did not have to tell him, he knew it. And he has not changed; the Bible says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

He knows every unspoken desire of yours too and he will answer at the right time. Praise God.

The evil one

As I watched, in this dream, I saw the evil one, dressed in finery, showing the riches of the world and glittering cities to a man who stood beside him, telling him that he owned all that. The man seemed to be impressed seeing all the riches and luxury. In just a few moments, the evil one changed his demeanor and toppled a huge dome like structure totally destroying it. I stood at a distance at the back and watched this silently, fear rising in me as I watched the sudden destruction.

God here was showing two main things Satan is doing in the world today. Luring men with riches and luxury and causing devastation as he pleased. The phrases that we hear so often in our times in advertisements are "the best", "the most luxurious", "priceless", "the richest" and so on and so forth.
Countries are trying to beat each other in being the best and because of this, there are wars and battles and destruction. At any given time there are more than 50 wars going on in our world. There's no real peace though there are innumerable summits and conferences on peace going on.

Regarding the devil, Jesus once said,
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy....I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10)

The full life or life in abundance that Jesus wants to give those who believe in him have few takers. Most are on the road to eternal judgment running after worldly riches indulging in the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life, all orchestrated by the devil himself.

Jesus advises us,
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. (Matthew 7:13, 14)

Boils with pus

I saw this dream regarding a believer in Christ who was known to me; in the dream, she was in a room, lying on a bed and as I went near her, I saw that she had many boils on her legs, most of them filled with pus. Seeing her in that state, I felt it would be good to relieve her of the pain by removing the pus from the boils, so I took some needles from a table lying nearby and approached her, but suddenly she panicked and ran away. The dream ended there.

When I thought about the dream the next day, I was reminded by God of a few verses from Isaiah Chapter 1. More than the physical ailment shown in the dream, it was the spiritual life of the believer that God was pointing to.

Ah, sinful nation, a people loaded with guilt, a brood of evildoers, children given to corruption! They have forsaken the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him. Why should you be beaten anymore? Why do you persist in rebellion? Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no soundness; only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil. (Isaiah 1:4-6)

Though most believers in Christ sin in one way or the other (thought, word or deed), when they are convicted in their hearts by the Holy Spirit, they seek forgiveness from God and are cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, there are a few who live in sin and become hardhearted, though outwardly they may show others that they are true believers. Isaiah writes about such people, that, from the sole of their foot to the top of their head there is no soundness; only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil. They resist correction and live the life of prodigals.

Regarding such, Jesus said,
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:6)

Shunned

I saw this dream regarding a worship leader in a Church. In the dream, as he walked in to the Church, many of the men sitting there made faces looking at him as if expressing their dislike or disgust. He quietly took his place and had a sad look on his face. The dream ended there. I happened to speak to this brother in Christ some time later sharing my dream and he told me that many in his Church had that kind of an attitude towards him. Perhaps it was because he differed in his opinions regarding various matters that were discussed among them, he added. I comforted him by telling him that the Lord knew everything about it and that things would change as the days went by.

This is something that many brothers and sisters in Christ experience in their Churches. They are ignored, shunned or overlooked by many who are prominent members or persons in the leadership.
In many Churches there are several factions or groups that ridicule other believers in the same congregation. Some honor believers who are rich overlooking or ignoring the poor.

Paul the Apostle writes to the believers in Corinth regarding factions.

Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren't yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren't you fleshly, and don't you walk in the ways of men? For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," aren't you fleshly? Who then is Apollos, and who is Paul, but servants through whom you believed; and each as the Lord gave to him? I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. (1 Corinthians 3:1-7)

James, the Lord's brother writes,

My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly, and there come in also a poor man in filthy clothing; and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;" haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? (James 2:1-4)

Here's an exhortation for all of us from the Apostle Paul,

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. (Ephesians 4:31, 32)

The narrow path

I saw this dream on the night of 9th February 2019. In the dream, I was exhorting a new believer on the narrow path that Jesus advises us to follow so that we may inherit eternal life. I saw myself standing in a narrow passage of one of the floors of a building. There was little room to maneuver. There were many bends in this path and I had to be careful while walking lest I trip and fall. Every now and then, the walk seemed to be more difficult. The new believer stood to one side watching me with concern and amazement. The dream ended there.

This dream was easy to interpret. It was a graphic description of what Jesus says in Matthew 7, verses 13 & 14.
"Enter in by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in by it. How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it."

Restricted is the way.....(narrow is the way- KJV)

Though we as believers in Jesus Christ are called to look to the Author and Finisher of our faith Jesus Christ, new believers also look to them who have been believers and ministers for long to see how they walk their Christian faith. Sadly many are not good examples and this affects the spiritual growth of new believers.

This is what the writer of Hebrews says,

Remember your leaders, men who spoke to you the word of God, and considering the results of their conduct, imitate their faith. (Hebrews 13:7)

Also Paul, the Apostle writes to the Corinthian church,

Therefore I urge you, imitate me. (1 Corinthians 4:16)
Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1)

It is God's desire that those who are ministers and those who have been believers for long, that they be good examples to them who have recently accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord.

No time to sulk in the "last days"

It was one of those weeks where I was ill and having abdominal problems- indigestion, reflux and bloating. By Thursday, I was in bad shape by the time I finished work and was at home by 5 pm. There was an intercessory prayer in Church at 7.30 pm, but I was in no mood to go and I had a reason for God. I was unwell and anyone would understand. So I was on my couch, sulking, telling God, I needed a break. The next day was a worship day (Friday, in the gulf countries); I had a sermon to preach, conduct a Bible Study and there were a few new believers getting baptized (a rest was justified). I did not want to miss all that, though the baptisms and preaching would be done by the main pastor. As I rested, there was this song that came suddenly to me without me thinking of it. It was a Malayalam song which spoke about the Lord's coming and how very little time was left to do the Lord's work. I shut out the song from my mind and continued resting and slept for more than an hour, putting my mobile on silent mode.

When I woke up after a good rest and checked my Whatsapp messages, there was a video message from our pastor. It was a song sung by a young boy who was differently abled. The lyrics of the song spoke about how he still trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ despite his disabilities and his weaknesses. It spoke of how the potter had all rights over the clay to create what he desired and how he would still worship the Lord despite his developmental abnormalities. Tears flowed from my eyes and I felt ashamed of how easily I could justify resting, when compared to this boy, I was far healthier. I did not have to think twice then whether to go for the intercessory prayer. The Holy Spirit had dealt with me. The prayer was a blessing, though my abdomen was not well yet. That night as I slept, the Lord spoke to me in a dream and said that all things would go well the next day and so it was. Despite not recovering fully, I could conduct the Bible Study, water baptize 3 believers and preach a sermon. Our pastor and a few believers faithfully prayed for me and God upheld me by his righteous right hand. Praise God.

Taking too many risks

I saw this dream concerning a friend of mine. I was with him in his house. He was walking about doing some work, but in between he was also doing something strange. There was a lampshade with no bulb in the bulb holder. In the dream, I knew that if he touched the bulb holder, he would get an electric shock because the switch was on and electricity was flowing in to it, but he seemed not to bother and often tried to touch it. As the dream ended, I was warning him repeatedly not to touch it.

I prayed for my friend the next morning that he may not go through any calamity and that he may be safe. I discerned from the dream that he was taking unwanted risks regarding certain matters, but did not know what until a few days later when I met him.

He had taken many loans from different banks and was now in a fix trying to pay back the money with interest. His calculations had backfired and this was affecting him badly. Too many risks financially, was what the dream indicated here; almost a shocking experience. I agreed to pray for him regularly till his problem was solved.

Sometimes believers take too many risks, some financially and some otherwise. Of course it's best to live without taking any loans, but sometimes we may need to. Wisdom and guidance from God is essential in this, for too many loans can make one land up in financial crises which can affect the spiritual life adversely.

For God gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6)
