I had a dream read by Megan skein. I'll ask it. It shall be given to you seek and you will find knock and the door will be open to you. For everyone who asks, receives he, who seeks, finds, and to him who knocks the door will be opened. Matthew chapter seven, verse seven and eight. Georgia Kenny recently participated in youth rush a two week summer literature evangelism program aimed at youth and young adults. During evening worship, the group would pray in advance for the next day.
Hoping that God would connect them with the people that he wanted them to meet. Pasta Holly Southwell would often pray that God would send people, dreams that troubled them or questions that they didn't have answers to commented Georgia. That way when we meet them, they would know that it wasn't a coincidence. One day Georgia was out canvassing when she saw a young African woman and felt impressed to talk to her. She really liked the books said Georgia.
She bought a cookbook as well as copies of the great controversy and peace above the storm. So we'll just then ask the woman whose name was. if she could pray for her. Oh yes, please. I. Chris modded earnestly. After Georgia had prayed. I R revealed that she had grown up Christian, but attended church very infrequently. Her brother had passed away a while ago and she hadn't been able to attend his overseas funeral. A couple of her close friends had also died recently. They sat events had led.
I act to begin questioning whether God really existed. If there is a good, and this is what he's doing to me. I don't want anything to do with him. She had reasoned. But then she had a dream which convinced her that she needed to give God another chance. And then she met Georgia. I think God did this declared IOC. Why didn't I walk in the opposite direction today. I think he led us to meet. I October Georgia, that she wanted to learn more about God.
Georgia then invited IOC to attend church with her, that Sabbath. I'd love to come. I Aqua's wanted enthusiastically. I have a friend who's really interested in God, I'll bring her too. They both came to church that Sabbath praise God said, Georgia. I had never really read the Bible before. So she enjoyed Sabbath school. Both Iraq and her friends said they wanted to study the Bible and plan to attend church again.
Just as God use dreams to speak to his people in biblical times, he can still use dreams to reach people today.
