Why God Gave a Dream
00:03:07

|
| I'd like to tie in these earthquakes we were talking about. | |
| Yes. | |
| Because, you know, God, there was a reason that God gave me a dream of a coming earthquake over two years ago. | |
| And the rest of the story on that earthquake, I've shared this before, but your audience is growing so fast that a lot of them have never heard me share the story. | |
| When I had that dream, it was so vivid. | |
| I've only had vivid dreams where I could wake up and literally remember every word of every conversation that happened in that dream. | |
| I literally wake up in the mornings and say, is there a dream from last night I'm supposed to remember? | |
| Nope, I guess not. | |
| I mean, I had dreams, but I couldn't remember them. | |
| But when I woke up that morning, this was vivid, and I could remember every conversation, every word that was said. | |
| And I said, this is important. | |
| I'm going to write it down. | |
| And I wrote it all out. | |
| And then I thought, well, what do I do with it? | |
| I mean, God has showed me an earthquake is coming. | |
| That'll be a 9.2. | |
| Because I looked up on the internet. | |
| You know, in the dream, the earthquake would be as big as what hit Alaska. | |
| It was a 9.2. | |
| And I've since learned that the Alaska earthquake was the second largest earthquake event in history. | |
| So I went to the Lord in prayer for three days. | |
| And I said, Lord, what am I to do with this dream? | |
| People are going to think I'm crazy if I go out and tell them that God told me that a quake of the 9.2 is going to hit the northwest, the Seattle area. | |
| So I said, Lord, would you give me the dream a second time? | |
| Give it to me a second time, and I'll know that it's from you. | |
| I prayed this for two nights, and it didn't happen. | |
| After the third night, I woke up, and it's like, I got to move on. | |
| But what am I supposed to do with this dream? | |
| I just felt, I was just unsettled. | |
| I went down the hall from my office into the bedroom. | |
| That's not where I pray. | |
| But I just had to pray about this. | |
| And I go down and I pray and I'm saying, Lord, please help me to understand what I'm supposed to do. | |
| Am I supposed to tell all my Facebook friends? | |
| I have a lot of Facebook friends. | |
| I have all the contacts of people that have gone to my website. | |
| Do I email and tell them that God gave me this dream that this earthquake is coming? | |
| And I just poured my heart out before the Lord. | |
| And after I got done, I said, well, I got to go back to my office and read the Bible. | |
| And I went and I didn't do what I have done in the past where I just randomly opened the Bible and say, God, speak to me. | |
| I didn't do that. | |
| I just turned to the book of Psalms where I had been reading through Psalms on a daily basis. | |
| And I opened to chapter 14. | |
| And I read two pages. | |
| And I flipped the page and started reading the next page. | |
| And all of a sudden, I read two verses. | |
| And it was like I did a double take. | |
| Did I just see that? | |
| And I'm going to read what I read. | |
| I mean, it was like, after I read these two verses, I thought, God, did you put those two verses in me in there for me? | |
|
Earth Trembled And Quaked

|
|
| For all these years, these two verses were put in there for me. | |
| I mean, this is what it said. | |
| In my distress, I called to the Lord. | |
| I cried to my God for help. | |
| That was me in distress in prayer 15 minutes before. | |
| So in my distress, I called to the Lord. | |
| I cried to my God for help. | |
| From his temple, he heard my voice. | |
| My cry came before him into his ears. | |
| Wow. | |
| God heard me when I was praying. | |
| The next verse, the earth trembled and quaked. | |
| And the foundations of the mountains shook. | |
| They trembled because he was angry. | |
| So God not only confirmed that he watched me in my bedroom as I was praying and that there would be a coming earthquake, but he even put in there why it's coming. | |
