The SHAKING - A Dream given to Deb M
The following dream was given in answer to prayer. Being a new Christian and believing this denomination was God's true church, I was very confused by some members and was ready to look for another denomination.
I believe the Lord was saying, "The church is not perfect, but stay with it. Help to make it better. The shaking time is here. Go where I lead you, and if you are faithful you will be safe from the coming disaster of the end time."
In the dream Andy and I were attending services in a church. During the sermon I realized the church had changed in appearance and the service was worldly. We decided to leave immediately because we did not want to be exposed to error.
While walking toward the front door God told us not to leave the church, but to go up into the attic where we would be safe. The attic had a single large pillar and a large window facing east.
In a very short time the church began swaying. We were scared and thought we would be safe outside the church, but remembered what God said [see paragraph 2]. The church continued swaying, quickly picking up momentum. The huge structure swayed until the top of the church almost touched the ground on the west (left) side.
Screams of terror filled the church as the worldly people tried to escape on their own but could not! Minutes later these same people were hurled out of the church windows and doors by an unseen Force. We stayed in the attic knowing there was nothing we could do for them now.
After a few moments the church's main supporting pillar fell on me, but I was not hurt. I immediately expected the entire church to collapse, but it did not.
Suddenly the top of the church touched the ground on the west (left) side, but the terrific strain did not damage the structure. When the top of the church touched the ground on the east (right) side it remained and stopped all swaying. Then Andy and I walked into a beautiful country where we had a reunion with friends.
Notice in the dream the church did not fall even though the main supporting pillar did fall.
Later I saw this quote for the first time: "The church may appear as about to fall, but it does not fall. It remains, while the sinners in Zion will be sifted out, the chaff separated from the precious wheat. This is a terrible ordeal, but nevertheless it must take place."

Find True Rest - Justification
This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe…. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement [margin: taking away sin], through faith in His blood. (sacrifice). Romans 3:22-25
The key points in these verses are: We all have sinned but because of Gods grace all are justified who have faith in the cleansing power of Christ’s blood.
God’s way of giving us complete security is to justify us by faith in Christ. “Come to Me, all you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
All of us worn out by the struggle to be good enough, to measure up on our own, can find true rest in Christ’s generous acceptance. All of us who are burdened by scars from the past and by an aching sense of inadequacy and shame, can find peace and wholeness in the Christ who at the cross opened His arms to us.

PRAY !
The Lord is disappointed when His people place a low estimate on themselves. Desire of Ages 668
Prayer is Heaven’s ordained means of success in the conflict with sin and the development of Christian character. Acts of the Apostles 564
When we come to Him in faith, every petition enters the heart of God. When we have asked for His blessing, we should believe that we receive it, and thank Him that we have received it. Then we are to go about our duties assured that the blessing will be realized when we need it most. Desire of Ages 200
When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God. Desire of Ages 363
Make every effort to keep the communion between Jesus and your own soul. Steps to Christ 98

Demonic Miracles & Healings?
Many Christians assume that any supernatural power must come from God. Can Satan actually heal? And if so, how can we tell the working of the devil from the working of God?
Just before Jesus’ coming, demons will work miracles, [see Revelation 16:14]. Genuine miracles from the devil! And these satanic powers perform their wonders in the name of Jesus Christ, [see Matthew 7:22-23.]
So false prophets will use Christ's name to practice evil and lawlessness. Through these deceivers the devil performs all kinds of lying wonders to entrap the unsuspecting. Miracles themselves are not proof of God's presence.
Never forget. Some miracles are the work of the devil done in the spirit of lawlessness – violating God’s law. “This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” 1 John 5:3.
Genuine love for God is the test, and true love for God means obeying His commandments. Love for God means more than a warm fuzzy feeling in our hearts when we worship. The proof of Christian love is not miracles, not speaking in tongues – the proof is keeping God’s commandments. John 14:15.

A Warning Dream to Deb M
A Warning Dream to Deb M
In the dream: after purchasing a small, beautiful acreage on the edge of a forest we went about our chores. Suddenly it was announced Sunday Laws were enforced; it was now time to retreat deep in the forest until Jesus came. Andy found a book about a pioneer trail that ran right past our front door to a forest refuge. Deciding to take the trail we first got together a few things to take along, things we thought God would not provide for us.
Telling those with us to go ahead we continued to get more items from the house. While making a large pile of items in the front yard we noticed the wheelchair-bound, blind, infants and elderly running at top speed on the trail to safety.
Going back into the house for more items we realized this was it - Jesus would soon be here! But we were also getting sentimental over the things we would leave behind. I yelled, "Hurry up! We have to go!" But we both lingered. Then as we were ready to leave my family entered the house carrying all their possessions for us to care for. They did not want us to leave - they wanted us to stay and help bring their packages into the house. We were in a quandary what to do - help our family or go and meet God. The dream ended.
Upon awaking I knew I needed to prepare for the Lord’s return and put away material things and encumbrances.

Open the Windows of the Soul
God is inviting us to close the windows of the soul earthward and open them Heavenward, that He may flood our hearts with the glory, which is shining across the threshold of Heaven.

Daily Instruction
Day by day God instructs His children. By the circumstances of the daily life He is preparing them to act their part upon the wider stage to which His providence has appointed them. It is the issue of the daily test that determines their victory or defeat in life’s great crisis.

Constant, Perfect Peace
There will be peace, constant peace, flowing into the soul, for the rest is found in perfect submission to Jesus Christ. Obedience to God’s will finds rest. The disciple that walks in the meek and [humble] steps of the Redeemer finds rest, which the world cannot give, and the world cannot take away. ‘Thou will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.’
[Gentleness & humbleness], which ever characterized the life of the divine Son of God, possessed by His true followers, brings contentment, peace, and happiness that elevate them above the slavery of artificial life.

Listen to the Lord!
"I will hear what God the Lord will speak...."
Psalms 85:8 [KJV]
I fully believe the Lord can and will impress people; if He does not then why does the Bible say to "test the spirits, whether they are from God" (See 1 John 4:1).
At work I was strongly impressed by God to leave my office desk and go to the other side of the room, I thought, "How strange!" When reaching the opposite wall a large ceiling fixture fell down where I had been sitting, breaking my chair and smashing the window next to my desk. It pays to listen to God!
*****
Andy was lying under the car doing engine work with the motor running. While moving a linkage an audible voice called out, "Don't touch!" Getting out from under the car he looked to see who was standing next to him. There was no one. Crawling back under the car he moved the linkage again when the voice called out, “Don’t touch!” Andy did a double take of what he was doing; he was moving the gearshift linkage to the reverse position. Since the engine was running another move on the linkage would have caused the car to run over Andy’s chest!
