Yes, this was just a dream but it makes you think..and it makes your spirit jump!
I was in the middle of what appeared to be a mall where chairs and tables were around a large fountain and people were eating there. There was people appearing to be in there 30s and 70s (these are the only ages I noticed). My husband and I were wondering around for a job for myself. I applied at a place where I would be able to sing songs. I told them I write my own songs and sing Christian music. The lady seemed interested, so she called my husband's phone, and asked if I needed lyrics or if I could sing the songs from memory. I told JP to tell her I could sing them from memory. She hung up the phone with my husband and somehow got on a loud speaker that traveled through out the whole mall and appeared infront of me behind a wooden podium and I could see the mockery in her eyes. She echoed throughout the whole mall saying these words "This girl right here stands for Jesus! She really believes that Jesus loves her so she makes up little songs about Jesus! Right here's the little Jesus Lover, over there she is! She claims that Jesus loves her.. Jesus Jesus Jesus!" She said it in a "mockery way" especially "Jesus" and she then started laughing. So ALL the people at the chairs and tables started laughing and giggling at me. I wanted to cry, BUT I DIDN'T. I just looked at Jp and told him I didn't want a job that wouldn't allow me to sing about my relationship with Christ. So I grabbed my guitar, some papers, my husbands hand, and started to walk out when I heard this 70 year old woman say a comment to her "cliche" of friends. She said "Did I hear correctly? Did that girl actually say she had a relationship with Jesus?" I turned around in anger, not knowing if the woman was being compassionate or just poking more fun at me... so I ran up to them, looked the group of women right in the eye and gave my testimony...the whole room got quiet and ALL EYES were on me. I told them what all God has done for me and how I love singing praises of my Lord. I told them about my journey to get where I was (there..in my dream) and how Jesus has totally touched my life. I began to cry as I told them how "he's my rock and he was always there when no one else ever cared..he cares about me!" I quit crying and began to feel strong as I told them: "He's my prince of peace, he's my savior, he's my counselor, he's my best friend, He held me tight when I would lay there and cry..I could even feel him wipe the tears off my cheek, I know he loves me and cares about me.. I can feel his presence even as I sing. I love singing praises to my father." The women began to cry and I could then begin to feel the way they felt. They felt regret, love, and understanding... all because of the testimony I gave them...All because I stood up for Christ.. All because I told them what Christ has lovingly done for me.
So I have a few questions:
1. Would you stand up for Christ even if people were laughing and mocking you?
2. Would you give your testimony to the lost soul mocking you, even if it meant you could save their life?
(these ladies appeared to be 70 years old.. (and don't get me wrong, theres ALOT of healthy 70+ year olds that will live many more wonderful years..!) but alot of times when you reach 70 your health begins to change.. and in the dream, my testimony could of been the last chance those ladies ever got to hear about Jesus.
I challenge you and MYSELF this week (or whatever week you read/hear this) and stand up for Christ. Go out of your way to tell someone about God. Pray that God would give you a person to talk to. He wants them too, and sometimes he uses us as the messenger..PRAY ABOUT IT..listen to God who will work through your heart and mind!
