....You will get Another

The Lord speaks to us through dreams and visions, of course, I dream all the time (not all are prophetic dreams)and I've had several visions. Just recently I had a dream, it was sort of strange because it seemed for a minute that I was awake but just laying there with my eyes closed. So I guess I was between the awake and dream state. I was dreaming of a news story/newspaper article or something like an analogy that a preacher would use after he/she finishes their sermon to prove their point or persuade the congregation. The dream even had a narrator, lol I can't explain it I just know what I felt, heard and saw during the dream.

 Here's the dream:

A little girl lost her Teddy Ruxbin teddy bear, she was walking in the grocery store upset that she lost it. The announcer or narrator says something to the effect of the little girl seeing something that would remind her of the lost Teddy Ruxbin and how she was feeling at that moment about the lost bear.  Then what came to my mind in the dream was that she was standing in line at the store and saw something like a headline on the front page of the National Enquirer. The narrator begins to read the headline but this time it wasn't the initial narrator's voice, the voice that I heard was stern and direct. The voice said:
"DON'T YOU DARE VISUALIZE IT, YOU WILL GET ANOTHER!"

In essence, he was telling the little girl that even though she's reading the headlines and it is a reminder of the lost bear, don't start thinking back on what she lost because another is coming.
The dream ended and I lay in bed completely awake. I lay there with the stern man's voice playing over and over in my mind. The voice was booming and it sort of resounded within my spirit. I used to be very fearful of lots of things and in my dream state I could feel fear starting to set in as the stern voice says, "Don't you dare visualize it" but when he got to the latter part of the statement, "you will get another" His voice softens with solicitude and the fear that tried to come in, quickly went away!
Now, by no means do I have the gift of dream interpretation but I do know and feel when my dreams are from The Lord.

After I lay there for a minute I thought of this picture that I saw on Facebook months ago,

I begin to think of my situation, being divorced. I thought about all the precious time, sleep and material things that I lost within the marriage. I will admit, recently it weighted on me more than it should have and sometimes it was hard to snap out of it. After having gone through every emotion and knowing full well that I shouldn't dwell or "visualize" what was lost because I know without a doubt that I would recover all and some! So this dream was a reminder for me to stop thinking of the past and move forward. I also thought of the story of Job, he lost way more than I could of imagine, but in the end, he recovered all. The Bible says that The Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends, and He gave Job twice as much as before(Job 42:10). Let me encourage us, You and I, let us do as Philippians 4:13 tells us, forget what we left behind and press on to higher callings. God will repay, and for the people that hurt us, let's pray for them and watch God work on our behalf. God is an awesome God, He cares about us. He wants to see us prosper in every area of our life! Don't make the mistake that I made, looking back at a DEAD situation. From now on I will write out my feature, that lost Teddy Ruxbin is a thing of the past and I know something bigger and better is coming, in Gods timing! God bless you and thanks for reading!
