my favorite part
The dream really drove home to me how important it is to take advantage of the time and place you are in. God gives us opportunities every day and we shouldn’t squander them. Our lives here are limited, but we act like we have all the time in the world.
Lately I have been praying and seeking God more than usual due to concerns that I haven’t been hearing his voice for quite some time. But even after praying, I still had not heard from him.
This could be a sign of the times. “There was silence in heaven for half an hour” (Rev 8:1).
Thanks for the feedback Princess. I am getting my prayer life sorted out. God has done amazing things in my life, yet I have been terrible at praying to God, although I am conscious of him during the day. I can honestly say that this dream and other things he has done lately is the result of wanting to communicate with him. Sometimes the solution is much easier than we think. We need to pray without ceasing and talk to him throughout the day and share our lives with him.
Hi Camilla. When I think of that verse in Revelation it reminds me of the times on Earth when people give one minutes silence for the victims of a tragedy. Like the Christchurch earthquake. Many times during sport events, anniversaries, etc, one minutes silence was observed.
So what happens on Earth when heaven is silent for half an hour.
Hi t8,
So time is short but not completely finished yet.
If this is from God it is not about missed opportunities to see the world.
What vital spiritual opportunities have you missed so far and what do you need to do while there is time?
hi Princess

right on ,good thinking
Of course Nick. I don’t for one minute think God was telling me to travel and take photos. lol. I would have thought that was a given and I said it here:
Fortunately, it was a dream and I still have time in this life. The dream really drove home to me how important it is to take advantage of the time and place you are in.

I also believe that life is an adventure when you are sold out to God.
Hi t8.
I don’t know about the half an hours silence in heaven, but I have been looking into it.God’s silence is often described by people as a “wilderness” experience. Even with Abraham, God was silent for 13 years. But then He spoke to him again.
Have you read “Dark Night of the Soul” by St John of the Cross? There’s an mp3 version (which I am listening to). http://www.ccel.org/ccel/john_cross/dark_night/mp3
So for me right now, there seems to be a renewed passion to do the works of God. To take the opportunities he gives me and to also travel or do new things so that more of these opportunities open up. By that I mean do not get stuck in a rut where everyday is the same. Live with a sense of adventure. Life is a great adventure and we should enjoy the life God has given us and look for the opportunities he gives us. As each moment passes, they are gone forever. Remembered perhaps, but gone in the sense that you cannot change it. For each day where you did nothing of significance, it is like the blank frames in your film camera. Once the roll comes to an end, they are wasted and there is no reward. The only thing you we have of value are the good shots we take when they are presented to us.
Good you have a renewed passion to do God’s works.
Every opportunity brings it’s challenges as well. So, remember to do things focused, and with love.
T8, I can only see one getting closer to their God by experiencing nature. Many cultures do the same. I have to admit I am bit envious of your travels and what your eyes have seen and what your spirit has experienced, the things you have touched, the smells. I would think you are very close to having a pure heart and mind. That is a attribute we all strive for.
Blessed Journeys T8.

I was not feeling well yesterday (bug/slightly delirious). That comment did not make sense!
It makes sense to me all the same. It is one thing to take up opportunities when they arise, it is another thing to treat them with respect and to use them as an opportunity for God’s love to shine through.
Thanks Princess. I am curious as to what site you saw my photos. Smart Countries, Virtual Oceania ???
Hi T8
You’ve been taking photographic shots of God’s splendor all your life.
Your photo’s are proof of his amazing creation abilities, and cannot be argued or disputed.
The roll of film, being your last roll was blank, symbolises the end is coming very soon.
All these beautiful scenes you once captured will not look the same for much longer.
I think he doesn’t want you to hold on to those memories,
because he is going to destroy it all.Remember in Rev 18 when they all stood back and witnessed the destruction of Babylon?
In one hour it was all gone, and they mourned.You couldn’t re-use those blank frames because you will never capture it again.
He doesn’t want us to look back, but forward.
With your spiritual eyes, you should be able to capture the kingdom coming, with all it’s splendor.
Picture a solid foundation instead based on truth, wisdom, knowledge, and love with a saviour.
Picture precious jewels sparkling so bright, and being one of those jewels.
Picture what it takes to get there
and picture the spiritual instead of the material.
This is something you cannot capture in a photograph, but within your spirit, which God can show you through his Word.After all has been fulfilled, God will make new things. The old will not even compare in beauty.
Thanks for your words @journey42.
🙂
