The experts say we all dream every night. Personally, I don’t remember 99% of mine, but last night’s was so vivid and the message was loud and clear. Luke said we would have spiritual dreams (Acts 2:17), so when they come, we better listen.
In my dream, Cheryl and I were living in a rented house. There was a small leak in the bathroom and we called the landlord to send a repairman. When he arrived, he went immediately to the problem and we left him alone. All of a sudden, the end of the house opened and a big machine drove through the room, tearing out the bathroom. I tried to explain that the problem was small, but the man wouldn’t listen. Suffice it to say, he tore the house up, took the wall paper off the walls, removed the carpet, and destroyed the whole house. When he was done, the house was a pile of junk.When I awoke this morning, it was as if the Holy Spirit was saying loudly, “When fixing a problem, be careful who you select to work on the problem with you. Someone with no experience on the problem can and will destroy what you do on the project.”
How precious and thoughtful Jesus was to give us the Holy Spirit to be our guide in this life (John 14:15-17)! The Holy Spirit is not just in the world, but Jesus promised He would live inside each of us. I need the Holy Spirit! I’m faced with challenges in life and in the church that can’t be explained or reasoned humanly, but the Spirit knows and will guide me and each of us as we listen to the Expert.
In this last week of fasting, don’t slide into autopilot, but remember the Holy Spirit can be grieved, quenched and resisted. Invite Him to be your Architect, Builder, Repairman, and Boss…you won’t regret it, and your life will not be torn up in the process!
I’ll meet you at the Throne,
Pastor George
