Wow, this is amazing! I’ve had some pretty cool dreams before, one being that I was at a Hillsong worship night in Prescott in 2011, beating out Lil Wayne in approval (then I found myself in something like abstract art in a Sonic video game, and eventually in a tech store with a friend from New Zealand, though not being someone I know from Two Rivers), but Jacob certainly was blessed because of this revelation in the dream God gave him! This passage is found in page 16 of my NKJV Bible, page 21 of my NASB Bible, page 36 of my VOICE copy, and pages 35-36 of my Amplified Bible (Classic Edition) copy.
I just reread the last parts of chapter 3 of Brian Houston’s There Is More book, and remembered that it was the comfort of the Holy Spirit that gives me the power to live faithfully in Christ when things go sideways. It’s a shame that I discovered recently that freedom is going to be hated more and more often as if it were license to sin, though. For if the U.S. government really is working with Russia so they can enslave the world eventually, is this not a sign that the end of human history is almost upon us? But I don’t think you should surrender any godly dreams you have. Some dreams we have are our own, to be sure, but everyone is able to get a vision from God about how they can bless others and be the light of the world as Jesus said (Matthew 5:14). It’s really hard to concentrate on that when you see a lot of haters and/or delays that happen unnecessarily, though. I know I don’t have much of any clue how to move past that; I think I can only walk away. If I’m not allowed to do that, then I’m screwed. I’ve seen enough delays before I moved to Gilbert happen before, and most of them were endangering my very soul! (For I have been homeless twice prior to moving in with Jonathan.) If something happens because I’m writing this, I just might conclude that there’s no way for me to avoid these annoyances under any circumstance, for I don’t know if God will prevent another needless delay even just one more time. At least I can say something good and interesting, but I don’t want to embarrass Jesus as if He isn’t supposed to be outside of the churches He’s named in. If this nation restricts freedom of religion in any fashion like Russia did, I literally have no shot to go to any unreached people groups and have people accept Jesus there as I have hoped to do for so long. Even God has told me that I shouldn’t expect anything promising in the days ahead due to this. I don’t know what to think about the future; I’m afraid to find I won’t be able to be myself again. This really shouldn’t happen. I know Jacob accepted Jesus after his children were born, but I don’t know when this happened. I know he hadn’t begun to follow Him yet because he later played favourites in chapter 37 here. Maybe we should believe that even the worst-case scenario doesn’t mean the good words or deeds are wasted.
Any prayer requests? I know I want to pray that anyone reading this would be safe, especially since the hostility against the Holy Spirit is only growing, since most of it is coming from within the churches that are supposed to change the world. But if you have one, leave it in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com — I’ll read each one (I’ve got to get better at checking my e-mail each day), write any good ones down, then tape them to my bedroom walls! Oh, I should’ve mentioned this (I think the Holy Spirit just told me): that someone’s going to read this and believe my words are heretical and useless, as if Christ Jesus died for nothing. Those will come most likely from the “Christian” heretics who believe Jesus didn’t die for you… those guys are really the ones who hate God. Think about that next time you walk into a church and find yourself pissed off at someone who values obedience over love. You’ll quickly agree with me. Indeed, Jesus is saying the same thing now, too. (I have to say, though, this was kind of a postscript, but I just had some interesting words from Jesus to write down in this website.)
See you in chapter 29!
