I thought to myself, I think I will go and find a Christian Forum somewhere and post about a dream my Christian brother had about me and him and his wife Faith.
Tim has been a Christian from when he was 18 and I recently learned Jesus really died to save me.
He and his wife are in China teaching about the Bible and taking Bible courses in Hong Kong and travelling through China taking the Bible with them.
I am in New Zealand.
My brother and I speak on Skype every few months and this last time we spoke he said he had a dream that I lift him and his wife up, presumably because I recently came to the Lord and get excited about things like Noah's Ark which is most likely now found on the mountains of Ararat in Turkey like scripture reads and when I talk with my brother I inevitably talk about my latest find of God's good works on the internet.
My brother said, his dream was, where I lift he and his wife up he could lift me up by giving me bible study lessons on Skype each week. He said, that is what his dream was.
Ok I said to myself, I do not read scripture frequently and may have felt my reading was not a high standard but I am coming to look at scripture more and more frequently and often find the Lord helping me to understand scripture and wether I really need to look at a particular scripture and if I am too tired to read and may even be wasting my time trying to read the Bible sometimes because I may be trying to hard and oops, look, the Lord may be saying, you have read too long tonight and you may be losing even the good scripture from your mind that you read when you started reading tonight.
Well, by brother begins his first lesson and half way through he tells me God is three persons and that God is Spirit. I say to him, God can not be three persons because He is Spirit. He tells me, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit and God the Son are the three people.
I look at what is the following bible lesson my brother is sowing me where Jesus said in John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.…and I tell my brother again, God can not be three people, that according to this scripture God is a Spirit.
Later he said forget about God being three people.So what dream did my brother have? He said it was from Jesus. I think the dream was about what has already happened, that he and his wife have been lifted up.
I think the Lord reveals the truth to me when I begin to do things like this….post about something strange that has happened to me.Oh well, here goes, it is time to click on the Post NEw Topic button…

oops, I forgot to mention why I posted the link in the first post.
I read the article and had recently gone through a trial where a power hungry flatmate got laid off by his boss who happens to be the landlord and the boss delayed paying the flatmate holiday pay. So after 2 months the flatmate decided to take the rent money and spend it in lieu of his holiday pay without telling anyone he was spending the money.
The other flatmates got a water bill because the landlord stopped paying the water bill and so later we found out $2000 of rent money was unpaid.
During this event the flatment found time to challenge me about the money collected from tenants renting a spare room and monies spent on bills. Chalenge me he had done for the 3 years since we started out with a verbal agreement as to how much recieved from the rented room and what was paid out and so on. So I collected receipts for a month and showed him he owed me $100 and he began tearing up every list of expenses and income to the house from all the three attempts I had made to write down every income from the rented room and the expenses during the month….due to the constant lack of cooperation I have left that house and he is left with a water bill given to him by the landlord and if he does not pay it he will be evicted.
Anyhow during all the confrontations and the verbal abuse and the leanings o my bedroom door frame while he tried to overpower me with his constant ramblings about money this and money that, I believe the Lord strengthened me to begin to look after myself and to learn about money and men and the problems people present when they….well when people are not willing to cooperate I suppose.
That is what I wanted to say in the first post lol. Forgive me Lord, I am weak and you are strong. I am into about 12 months of knowing Jesus died for me.
However, I met CHristians through my brother and the churches he attended that did have me realize, and this I have concluded was the Lord, that there was something about Christians and, my, how the light shined through them. So here I am, I followed them.
So from the article, the Lord has remnded me, the article , the article…oh yes…I have been through a trial and trials and maybe the Lord is going to use and maybe He had brought me here to thisHeaven Net Forum to read about what He has done with me and what he wants to do with me.
I could quite understand the Lord wanting to do this with me becaue my past is so dark and I am so new to Christianity and may actually be best used in this way…and I look back and see how the Lord has been with me throughout my life and that He tells me…you came from a low beginning and it has taken a long long time to see any light. Now I have seen about Jesus and wonder maybe, what is my future in Him.August 30, 2010 at 8:50 am#233912SimplyForgivenParticipantHi brother,
Nice story,
So what do you believe?

this probably should be moved to the members profile, Just an obeservationAugust 30, 2010 at 10:07 am#233913shimmerParticipantHi NBbibleJc.
So, do you go to a Church ? I'm in NZ like you are, Hi.
Here, you will find so many opinions it will get quite confusing. Most here have studied Scripture for many years, I – like you – have not….thanks for sharing your story,
Ok, my turn…I always loved God, since I was young I believed, I went to church, but eventually thought most of them were stuck up goodie-goods lol, so I hung out with the bad kid's,
As a young Mother, my partner started going to church. They told him to leave me as we weren't married, and I had refused to Marry him just because they said we had to. I was left alone with a son to raise and another one to be born, I was so angry at them.
Years later, after studying with some JW's, I was in a pretty dangerous situation, I called out to Jehovah, And Jehovah helped me,
Years after that, another bad situation and I started reading the Bible, I found comfort in that, but soon stopped.
Then again, another situation, a friend of mine came and prayed with me, (we happened to be outside, she prays quite loud, another friend turned up with His Daughter, they were 'cool types', so we were out there Praying and I thought 'Oh no, shame !') haha, so anyway, soon after that thing's started happening for me. God was there !
I had so much happen, I felt God working with me, I saw thing's, I felt thing's, I dreamed thing's, I would pick up Scripture and I couldn't stop reading, everything I read made perfect sense, my mind could understand, (previously I never could)….I became 'obsessed' it's all I thought of, I would pray for answers and receive them, I felt so much compassion for life and other's, I awoke to the realities of what was going on,
I went searching for 'The truth' 'Out there' which was a mistake, I found nothing like what I was shown from God. I went to a church (SDA) only because they never believed in 'eternal hell' it was ok, but I started getting confused, something happened in our Family, with my Daughter, I became consumed with it, with worry and anger, I started drifting further and further away from what I had,
One day I read The Shepherd of Hermas, I prayed, and asked for the good Spirit to come the bad to go, and I felt it, and I've been good ever since,
I could tell you of all the thing's that have happened, but It would take too long,
But thanks, it was good to write this down. (welcome), I don't think theres any NZers here anymore, apart from t8
October 31, 2010 at 4:29 pm#233914GeneBalthropParticipantShimmer ……..What you have basically said is that GOD Dealt with you one on one. And that increased your Faith in him , I totally agree with that Our Faith can GROW or DECREASE , that is why we should never let those things God has done in our Lives go. That is also why it say “HAVE YOU FAITH , HAVE IT UNTO YOURSELF” Faith is quite a personal thing.
Peace and love to you and yours………………………………gene
January 18, 2011 at 1:22 pm#233915mikeangelParticipantYes, yes, yes,
God is awesome, trust him. If you love him and his son, and let the holy spirit guide you, he will guide you, and increase your faith. “To those who have, more will be given” Never let people or churches or trials get in the way of that. Peace-Mark
P.S. It was nice to hear more about you Shimmer. You are special. Nbbible JC- You are on the right path brother. May God bless and keep you on your journey, and you have picked the right companion-Jesus-You will be blessed. My advice- Read the bible for yourself- Especially the Gospels first, they are the easiest to understand and contain the vitalist information imo, and put your trust in Jesus above anything or anyone, BAR NONE,me included, and you will come through safe. Peace brother in Christ-Mark
