Born in a Roman Catholic family, I grew up learning about the story of Jesus. But my mother did not think the church quenched her thirst for truth and went to a Presbyterian church. In my youth, I followed my mother and went different churches. And now I see that they helped me to understand why God is angry at both the Roman Catholic church and the Protestant churches. However, my message is mainly to the Protestant (more precisely Reformed) churches just as God appointed some prophets to speak to the northern Israel and others to the Judah in the OT.
In my 20s and 30s, I did not go to any church. For more than a decade, I was away from a church life and thought I was satisfied. I hated going to any church because of various reasons. But I was not happy. I was depressed. While thinking I was free, I was a slave to sin.
My dream started in 2016. Later in 2017, my mother told me that my very first dream started when I was 5. And I told my dreams to the pastor (at that time we were going to a Presbyterian church). He told my mother that they (there were 12 dreams) were concerning churches in the last days and painted 12 paintings. I do not remember the dream, but I remember him and one of his paintings. His painting was about Adam, Eve, and the satan in one painting. He said the satan was jealous of them. My mother told me that I talked about a mountain. The pastor gave me my first Bible in English because I always ran to the book (but I could not read) whenever we visited him.
At age of 6, I came across Romans 3:11-18. This became my favorite passage without really knowing the meaning. I thought to myself “the Bible is not about what people say it is.” And my question was: “What is righteousness?” Around that time, I had a strange experience. Then I did not know much about the Book of Revelation. But I saw what was written in the book of Revelation in the sky. To my family, they were just clouds in unusual shapes. But that morning, I woke up and saw the clouds and was overjoyed. And I drew them on a sketchbook for about an hour. A few times my grandmother tried to bring me to the breakfast table, but I did not want to leave the balcony where I was observing the clouds. All my family members were very silent at breakfast when I talked about the saints, angels blowing trumpets, and the new Jerusalem in light. I could not understand why they were not overjoyed as I was.
But from then on, my life was not easy because I struggled between God and the world. By 2016, I was 35 and was living a sinful life and thought I was connected to God with a very thin thread which was about to break. I hardly understood the Bible and yet, I thought I had much knowledge about God.
In 2016, I had this dream which was a start of a series of dreams connected to God and His Kingdom. Even in my 20s, I had strange dreams. One was that I was crucified with Christ as one body. I woke up suddenly when I felt the nail going through my palm. However, having such dreams does not always enhance knowledge of God or is a proof of the work of the Holy Spirit. Knowledge of truth always comes from reading and understanding the Scriptures.
Everyone dreams but my mother said there are dreams that remain for long if they are from the Lord. This dream in 2016 was a strange one.
In the dream, I heard someone calling me from behind. It was a cold winter day. I saw the one who was calling me. He looked like a farmer. He did not say anything, but he looked unhappy. He showed me a summer vegetable on one hand and an autumn vegetable on the other. They looked dry to me. He showed them to me and looked like he was asking, “why is this so?” I in real life did not know why it was so. But I in the dream knew the answer. I pointed my finger to a mountain. And in the mountain, there were two black shepherd dogs facing each other. They did not look friendly to each other, but they were not fighting. They were not working and there was no sheep. And I turned away from the farmer and went inside the house. In the house, I heard my phone ringing. It was a phone call from my manager at work because she wanted me to come and work.
