The last months since my husband has gone on to heaven I haven’t been able to really sleep well. I”m only able to sleep very little at a time. When I have been able to sleep I have had several dreams that I just can’t forget that I want to share. I will share each dream as a each a separate post. I believe one of the ways God speaks to us is through dreams. I believe those dreams I had were from God.
Job 33:14-18 King James Version (KJV)
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
Acts 2:17 King James Version (KJV)
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
The first dream that I want to share was about three months ago. In that dream it was after work and my husband who is now with the Lord jumped into his car. His car a small car, a Chevy Cobalt (that’s the car he always drove to work everyday). His work buddies followed him and piled into the car with him. The car was chucked full. It seemed like all my husbands friends were sitting on top of each other.
There was the young guy, who because the car was so full, kept falling out – and one of the other guys hung on to him but he kept slipping out like there wasn’t quite enough room for him – but the other guy gave him a big yank and finally pulled him in and closed the car door. They then took off with my husband at the wheel driving slowly pulling out of the work parking lot. They were obviously going somewhere with him. I did not know where. That was the end of that dream.
I knew that dream meant something but I didn’t know what. I wrestled with it in my mind and finally took it to God and asked him if that dream came from Him, and what if anything did it mean. At first you wonder – did this come from God? Was it just something I ate? Or something else?
Here’s what I believe. It was actually God who gave me that dream and here’s what I believe it means;. I have been praying that my husband Chester’s work friends whom he called his “second family,” to make sure that they and their families all know Jesus so that they can all join him in heaven. I believe that dream means that they will be joining Chester one day. He will take them with him. As far as the young guy I saw struggling to get into the car, I believe that he perhaps was struggling with making a decision to believe in Jesus and the other guy that I saw finally yanking him in perhaps was able to help him make his decision.
Chester cared and love those guys so much. When he’d come home from work he would always talk about them in the most caring way. Never did he utter a negative word about any of them, nor about anyone who worked at the company, including management. The feeling was mutual. They as well loved and cared about him. That’s why he referred to them as his “second family.” It’s something you just don’t see very often in the workplace.
I believe since Chester has been home with our Lord and Savior he’s had a couple of conversations about his work buddies. I know he hasn’t forgotten them and in honour of my wonderful husband, I will never forget them either. I will fervently pray for them and their families until the moment the Lord grants me my last breath and calls me home too.
It’s actually quite simple to make sure you go to heaven. All you have to do is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 16:31 King James Version (KJV)
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 2:21 King James Version (KJV)
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
