Well, after much debate and prayer I have been through for the past month...I have finally come to the conclusion that God is still on the throne and that he is still the one and only true God (I really didn't have to debate this =P). I have finally felt confirmation in my heart and soul from God that he does want me to move forward in his vision that he has given me and that I am to proclaim it and to reach out to those that would like to help in this endeavor :)
Let me start off with the vision that God gave me a month ago.
I was in church and was singing in my pew during praise and worship - just really trying to get into the presence of God. Then I was (in my mental eyes) transported to a place that I had never seen before. I was walking down a road in a community. There were cul-de-sacs of homes (tiny homes) and people were coming out of them. The people were homeless, single parents, the widowed, the displaced in life, the downtrodden. They were all walking towards a big building that appeared to be like a community center in the middle of the community of homes. There was a small flower garden in front of it with a big brick wall. Each brick on the brick wall had names of families and individuals that had lived in this community in the past and in the present that were helped to get back on their feet and come to Christ. They were all walking into the "community center". Then all of a sudden (sort of like a cut scene in a movie) I was walking through the doors as well and saw all of them sitting at tables and eating together. On the stage at the front of the big room was our praise and worship pastor (Pastor Charlie) and his band singing and praising God. Everyone was sitting there eating and worshipping God. It was such a wonderful feeling in that place. God was there. Then in my heart I heard God say to me "do it". I asked "Ok, God, do what?". He said "build this!" I had this sense of urgency in my heart about it then everything stopped and I was at church again and it was over. I have really prayed about this wondering is this a literal meaning - in other words should I literally build this community.....or is this vision something that I need interpretated? I am still in the middle of this debate....however, I know this one thing. I was given a date in that vision. Now normally I would not share something so specific as this just in case, but this was so strong in my heart that I had to talk to people about it. One person I spoke with really directed me in a way that confirmed this vision to the tee! The date was October 1, 2012. I don't know what that meant, until this conversation with my friend. She directed me to the Jewish calendar. We looked up the date and it was the first day of "Sukkot". What is Sukkot? You ask....well, let me explain. Sukkot is the Jewish holiday of Tents. They construct "temporary housing" (just like the temporary homes in my vision) and dwell in them for a time period. Then at the end of Sukkot they all gather together and feast and praise God (just like in my vision!). I thought to myself.....well, it doesn't get any more validated and confirmed as that now does it? So, what does this all mean? I am still praying about that. I really believe that God has this place to be built (literally), but if God so leads someone to interpret this dream differently, please contact me. I am open to what God has for this vision to truly be. In the meantime, I am going to move forward in trying to get this community started and built for the homeless! Anyone want to help? :)
