My Dream!

I had a terrifying dream last night. I dreamt that I was much older than I am now and I was preaching or telling others about Jesus and to follow His commandments and accept Jesus Christ (Revelation 14:12). The dream went on that in the midst of me speaking or preaching I held by head back and facing the sky I made a strong proclamation; "It is finish!" I did not plan to say this and then I realized that it was talking about the close of man's probation. Probation came to a close and man was not aware of it (Close of Probation). When probation closes no human will know and in my dream I didn't know when this was or what age I said it, the important part follows. At this exclamation that was made it seems as if the whole world heard it. Most of whom who heard it were skeptic and doubted its validity; however, there were some who for one reason or another heard it and were trying earnestly to join the Church. I went to church usually there would be a small congregation it was now a huge gathering. Most of the people I saw joining the church at this time were not sincere, even the person who use to be the pastor was not there anymore instead it was a man, a casual looking man. He was preaching to the congregation but he was not preaching to the times and it seems like he was overshadowing the pressing stuff for more relax and favourable things. I had a small company with me, I cannot remember there faces but it was very small, we were traveling as it seem and a man approached me and said what must he do to be saved? I looked at him with compassion and I told him that there is nothing I can do for him or tell him to do because probation has ended and he has made his final decision. He begged me but I didn't have anything for him all I could say was sorry, he then turned around and left. At this point I started to look within myself and I realized that I had a sin and had confessed it a short while back. The thought flooded my mind if my request for forgiveness was accepted by God; if it wasn't I would be lost because I cannot get forgiveness now. I started to cry - this is the first time in my dreams that I cried and that I felt so scared and I have had some pretty scary dreams. I was weeping and the company around me asked me whats wrong Bro. and all I could say was nothing to shun the answer of the question. My dream ended with me crying and wondering if God had accepted my forgiveness and pardoned me. Put before us is life and and death and Jesus says choose life which is in Him. In Revelation 14:12 & 22:14 it speaks about only those who keeps God's commandments and accept Jesus Christ will be saved. The commandments can't save us and accepting Jesus alone can't save us, He said if you love me keep my commandments. They go hand in hand; read Exodus 20 list the major - not the only - commandments of God which includes the Sabbath day to keep holy. Chose life, run for your life because there is only one thing that matters in the end, not your family, friends, husband, wife, money, etc. it's your soul's salvation because your family and friends might be lost if they do not follow God's commandments and accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour. We should be saving lives now and telling others that they should repent and run to Jesus who is life. I woke up from my dream and I almost cried again when I remember what God has done for me and that I would keep holding on to sin. What is sin, we should ask these questions? Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4). We have to run for our lives and take as many people with us as possible, Christians are the firemen and women of this world and we have to save as many people from the fire as possible.

False Judgment?!

Sometimes I wish I could come outside of my body and see how I operate from a third person's point of view. All that I can see, feel, smell, touch belongs to me internally; I cannot share it on a level that will make someone else feel my feelings as I do. Each person has his or her own feelings cemented in them. We cannot feel another persons hurt, every one feels their own hurt, we only can sympathize or feel hurt from the same experience but our feelings are our own. I wonder at times how people view me from their angle. From my angle I am very kind, compassionate, understanding, funny, caring, loving, honest... the list goes on. But what do people I come in contact with see and what do my friends see? Sometimes some judgements that are past upon me shocks me so much, I am not like that I would say! My body language might be misinterpreted and a whole different message and character is transfered wirelessly to the receiver and without me knowing someone may hate me, dislike me or love me, whatever the case may be I am oblivous at times to what their notion of me is until they snap or keep me at bay. I have friends of all walks of life and try not to judge, even if I am tempted to I try to remember that people are misjudging me too. I try at times to be safe and keep everyone new or even not so new at a safe distance so they only know Damian from a formal perspective and thus shadowing whatever notions they might be tempted to think about who or what I am, just to make sure they don't have anything tangible to misjudge me on. It hurts none the less when people treat you contrary to who you are because they already made you into something you are not in their minds. The evidence is clear in the wider world today that people hate people because they judge them from some uninformed point of view, whether it be ethnic, religious, sexist, etc. judgment is passed down on everyone from fallable and corrupt judges. The true judge of character is God (Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged..." Matt 7) The Bible is God's word to judge men and women we are not to judge each other but to point each other to God. I have been hurt but I will forgive and thus judgment ends with me each time it begins! I will not perpetuate false judgment is my prayer today.
