One afternoon as I took a short nap after my morning session at the clinic, I saw a dream wherein a suited man comes in to my consulting room as a patient. He introduced himself as the head of a Pentecostal organisation in the Gulf region. In the dream, all he talked about was the greatness of his organization and how he as chief had made the organization what it was now. The dream ended there. That same evening this minister came to see me for some bodily ailment of his and after I had prescribed him medicines, he introduced himself as the head of one of the largest Pentecostal organizations in the Gulf and all he spoke about centered on the organization and its greatness and how he himself had achieved the position that he was in now. He left after a while.
The question that the Holy Spirit asked me after he left was- Is that truly a God centered life? Is God the true love of your life?
I pondered the matter for a while.....several thoughts came to my mind.....
Our lives centers around many things; for some it is family, for some it is the job that they do, for some it is someone they are in love with, for some it is the Church that they go to and like this minister, some love the religious organizations that they lead or are involved with.
But what does God desire for us and from us???
God's desire for all of us who have trusted in Jesus Christ as Savior is that our lives be God/Jesus centered; that he becomes the true love of our lives, that we listen to his voice and follow him as he wants us to. The Good Shepherd and his sheep.
We don't ignore the other things that matter, but our top most priority becomes God and it will be reflected in every aspect of our lives. They we speak, the way we deal with others and the way in which we bring glory to God in everything we do. A truly blessed Christian life. Praise God.

Suicidal Tendency
Sometime back, I saw a dream in which I was going up in a lift on the outside of a building. The lift was half open to the outside, meaning that it had railings waist high, the top half being open. In the lift with me was a teen aged boy, son of a young widow, whom I knew for quite a while. He was fidgety as the lift went up, a strange fear writ on his face. He attempted to climb the top of the railings and jump out. I stopped him from doing so twice, but every few moments that passed by, he kept trying even more to do so. The dream ended there.
Every now and then, we read about suicides that happen around us, people taking their lives in desperation because of various reasons. There are evil spirits that incite a person to commit suicide, when the person is desperate. Taking one's own life is a sin and is against the teachings of the Bible.
Through this dream, the Lord was telling me to pray for this boy, so that the evil spirit that was influencing him to harm himself would be stopped from doing so. God is good, all the time.
Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. (Psalm 103:1-5)

Could this have been Apostle Paul's Thorn?
Sometime back I saw a dream in which the Apostle Paul was being led by a soldier with his hands bound with chains. The Apostle looked to be in his forties and had a beard. After a while the soldier commanded him to kneel down which he obeyed. As the soldier began walking away, suddenly Paul jumped to his feet and pushed the soldier down with his chained hands, making him fall to the ground. The dream ended there.
Could a retaliatory attitude have been Paul's thorn in the flesh was the thought that impressed my mind the following morning when I woke up. The Bible doesn't specifically mention what Paul's thorn was, though many have put forth guesses like an eye ailment, epilepsy, malaria and a few more.
We read in 2 Corinthians Chapter 12
And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me, but He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:7-9)
Regarding the retaliatory attitude, we read of an event recorded in the book of Acts.....
Luke the Physician writes,
Then Paul, looking earnestly at the council, said, "Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day." When he said thus, the high priest Ananias commanded those who stood by him to strike him on the mouth. Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?" Those who stood told Paul, "Do you revile God's high priest?" Paul replied, "I did not know, brethren, that he was the high priest; for it is written, "You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people."' (Acts 23:1-5)
Paul speaks about the weakness of his and every believer's flesh when he writes to the Romans...
For I know that in me (my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I want to do, I do not do; but the evil I do not want to do, that I do. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. (Romans 7:18-20)
The great Apostle probably had his moments of weaknesses too, but he taught and lived a Christian life that overcame sin and unrighteousness.
Those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (Galatians 5:24)
Indeed Paul was a great Apostle, a true champion of the Christian faith.

Trump is coming
I saw this dream while taking a short nap in the afternoon, a day before the US elections. In the dream, I entered a posh restaurant where a man was busy arranging tables and chairs and putting flower vases on the tables. I watched him for a while and then being curious to know why he was working so urgently, I asked him the same. He smiled at me and all he told me was "Trump is coming", before making himself busy again. The dream ended there.
When I woke up after my nap, the next day being election day, I had a fairly good idea who God's choice for President of the US was. All I did was pray a small prayer that what I saw in the dream would come true. And it did come true.
I believe perhaps my prayer was among the smallest for God's choice of the president and God would have made tens of thousands to pray the same as he had made me (with or without dreams).
We read in the book of Daniel....
Daniel answered and said: "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His and He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding." (Daniel 2:20, 21)
Yes, it is God who removes kings and raises up kings....also Presidents & Prime Ministers.
We do not know how Donald Trump will fare as the new president of the USA, but God has his plans and purposes for every person and for every nation. Only time will tell how things go with him and the country he leads. Whatever it be, we live in the end times and we need to keep praying that we be found worthy to join the Lord Jesus Christ when he comes back to gather his faithful.

Monkeylike
In a dream that I saw sometime back, a minister known to me, stood near me accusing me that I was not doing right regarding spiritual matters and finances. I smiled and told him that I would consider what he had said and take the counsel of the Holy Spirit regarding the matters. While I was saying this, all of a sudden he jumped in to an adjacent plot of land which was not his, which had many coconut and mango trees. Soon he was swinging around like a monkey, plucking coconuts and mangoes and throwing them to the ground, having an enjoyable time at the expense of others. The dream ended there.
What the Holy Spirit was indicating in this dream was that- here was a minister of the Gospel ready to exhort and correct others, yet not living righteously himself. Monkey business seemed to come easily to him, causing grief and loss to others in the process.....God help him.
All of us who preach to others must take up the following exhortation from the Apostle Paul regarding our lives as ministers of the Gospel.
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. Everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.(1 Corinthians 9:24-27)

Praise brings strength
Sometime back, I dreamt of myself walking laboriously on a path. I looked tired and weak and every step that I took was tiring me even more. After a while of going on in this manner, I start praising God with whatever strength I have left and suddenly things start changing. My physical strength increases and I start walking briskly and finally when I praise God vociferously, I receive strength to run and my face beams with joy.
Praising God even when we are going through troubles can definitely bring about a change in our whole being as is evidenced in this dream. The Bible repeatedly tells us that God is our strength and that he gives strength to his people and also that his strength is manifest in our weakness.
Habakkuk the prophet puts it aptly when he says,
Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights. (Habakkuk 3:17-19)
God is our strength, he will enable us to go on the heights as a deer as we praise him even when things are not going well for us in our lives.
