Last night, I had a vision of a one year old child with very curley hair, a big smile, and a space between his upper center front teeth. As I considered this child, it occured to me that exept for the long curley hair, (my father was in the army, so us boys always had crew cuts when we were yonger), facially, this child looked like me when I was about 5 or 6 years old. This morning, my wife Carrie Fischer had a dream of her birth father (who she had never met in real life until she was 27), and in the dream, they were both playing joyfully with and holding a one year old curely haired boy with a big smile (though she didn't see a space between his front teeth like I had seen in my vision) In reality, her father went home to be with the Lord when Carrie was 30...only 3 years after they had met. Based on a couple other visions I was given this morning, we felt the Lord was saying that since she didn't really have a true childhood with her dad, that God gave her this dream as something to hold on to, to replace what she had lost as a child, and that her father in this dream represented our Heavenly Father, and the little boy represented me at a much more innocent age, before I got involved in all the sins that plagued me from my teen years forward into much of my adult life at one level or another. This was God's way of encouraging me that I am indeed a new creation in Him, that all my past has been forgiven and forgotten, and everything from this point on has become new.
But I'm certain that we were not given these visions and dreams just for us, but for all those who would read them and hear them spoken, that they too can have a fresh start with the Lord. Often times, it is very difficult to fully move forward into God's calling, until we fully deal with the aspects of our past that are holding us back. Until we forgive those who have wronged us, and forgive ourselves for the things we have done that we shouldn't have, or failed to do that we should have. Be encouraged by brothers and sisters, your best days are still ahead of you, and will last for all eternity!!! This photo is a picture of me at 2.5 years old, taken in June of 1961
Awesome picture! You were so cute!! Yes, it sounds like the LORD JESUS gave you the dreams to heal some wounds. HE has come to set us free all all the wounds that we have been afflicted with. If we let HIM, HE will give us the power to forgive, heal and move on. It is the work of the HOLY SPIRIT that can do that for us! We only need to ask and HE will accomplish HIS perfect will in our lives!
