The most potent dream was about 2 weeks ago, I dreamed that I was in our church, and it was packed to the brim. There were some well known people there as well. I was holding a microphone and going around asking people to share testimonies and words from the Lord. (the way I know it was our church was that the wireless microphone kept cutting out). When I awoke, I felt that God was showing me that the future would be better than our best past, that He would fill the empty seats with hungry souls, people who are seeking an encounter with the Living God.
The latest dream was last night. It was more personal. I was talking with a familiar man who was wearing a military uniform (a symbol of authority). I was enjoying my conversation with him, when another, older man, in a navy uniform, of high rank, came up. I sought him out because though I knew who he was, I had never gotten to know him. But before I could really engage him in conversation, he began to yell at the first man, dressing him down in such a way that the first man fell to the floor in curled up position to protect himself from the verbal onslaught. When I awoke, I puzzled over it, until I got into the shower, and realized that the first man was my father, and the other man, the navy guy was his father. All of the abbreviated stories my father had shared about his bitterness toward his father, all of my father's actions suddenly became understandable and explainable. And then many of my own attitudes, grumbling, my own passive aggressive approach to relationships became clear. They were generational curses, passed down from one generation to another. [My grandfather had been 'disowned' by his own father for impregnating and marrying the daughter of a saloon owner while he was attending the Naval Academy.] So while dripping wet in the shower, I spoke the words of breaking the generational curses passed down from the sins of my father's fathers.
More dreams God!

SEEKING GOD?
How can men find God? How can men find the truth, and nothing but the truth concerning God's plan for salvation? How can men find the valid terms for pardon?
MEN NEED TO SEEK GOD.
Deuteronomy 4:29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search your heart and all your soul.
Matthew 6:33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,and all these things will be added to you.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
How can men seek God and His truth? First men have to bury their pride and believe that God is, and that He is smarter than, they, themselves. Men need to put all preconceived ideas about God and His terms for pardon aside. Prayer is the starting point for the truth about God. Men need to pray that God will show them His truth. Praying that God will confirm as truth, what you perceive to be the truth, is a prayer of arrogance.
KEYS TO SEEKING GOD
1. Honest prayer.
2. Prayerful Bible study.
3. Carefully consider preachers of the truth.
The apostle Peter preached the truth on the Day of Pentecost.
(Acts 2:22-41,47) Peter told who Jesus the Nazarene was. He was a miracle worker. He was both Lord and Christ. He was resurrected from the grave by God the Father. After the three thousand believed Peter's preaching he told then to repent and be baptized so their sins could be forgiven and that they might receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and be added to the Lord's church.
HONEST PRAYER IS THE FIRST STEP IN SEEKING GOD AND HIS TRUTH!
