The most powerful dream



Last night I had the most powerful and intense dream I’ve ever had.



We were at my Granny’s house checking on her. It was March, but for some reason she still had her Christmas decorations up. As we came out of the house and were standing on the porch to get back in the car, it was suddenly dark (like how it is controlled in the Hunger Games). There were a lot of people gathered in her yard and driveway looking at a river (that in the dream was there but in real life isn’t). It was a large and wide river like the Cumberland River.



Suddenly, I noticed that there was a low flying airplane dropping things out of the airplane that were hitting the water about every 150 yards or so. There would be 2 about 20 yards apart. It was dark, so we couldn’t tell exactly what they were, but the airplane was intentionally dropping them.



We finally were able to see that they were silver spools that served as buoys on the water. They had a yellow rope that went up in the sky to a point that we couldn’t see and coiled under the water as if they were anchors. In an instant, we knew this was bad news. I knew that something bad was going to start coming from the sky.



My mom, sister, dad, and I took off in the car. There were other people with us. I know they were family, but I don’t know which members.I know Daniel, Cale, and Reese were somewhere. Syndi and Sophie were with us too. We started driving to the Harpeth River from my Granny’s house. There is a big hill that you have to drive down to get there. We were only able to get to a certain point because there was a gate up and my dad didn’t want to drive around it because he would be getting on someone’s property. I was upset because I didn’t want to just cut Sophie and Sydni loose so my dad sat down and made some floating crates for them to be put in so they could float in case water started to take over the Earth.



In the mean time, as we were trying to figure out what we were going to do about getting past the gate, a mass exodus of people were walking together going in the same direction we were wanting to go. The lady who owned the property wound up coming and telling us we could just go on onto her property because everyone else was and this was the end.



We took off walking, rolling my dogs in their crates down the hill. But we didn’t make it down the hill like we normally would in real life to get to the river. Instead the ground had opened up and we were being lead by these nice people into what I can only describe as a large underground bunker. It was like a giant one story building with hallways and control rooms, etc. everywhere. They took Sophie one direction and Sydni another direction because they didn’t realize they are sisters and I wanted them together. I started crying at this point because I was really upset about what was happening in general but also because they had separated my dogs. I told one of the guys who was helping us get into this large room and I said once everyone got in, he would go get Sophie and bring her to where we were with Sydni.



We entered this room that had computer controls as we entered. It almost looked like a huge underground bowling alley with those kind of seats, but the room was so massive you couldn’t see the back wall and it was just filled with seats. We were within the first 20 people in there, but in an instant the room was so full you could barely move from all of the people. I was so upset I couldn’t stop crying because I knew something bad was happening above us on Earth. I kept saying, “This is it. This is the prophecy. This is the end. This is the apocalypse.” I could feel it in my body that this was what God had said would happen.



With the room full of people, you can imagine how loud it was with everyone talking and worrying out loud. I really cant explain how upset I was. With my family, we were sitting in this order: my mom, me, Keri, and my dad. In the midst of me crying, Keri grabbed my hand and in her quiet voice said, “Let’s pray.” I grabbed my mom’s hand and before I knew it, the entire room was holding hands and silent, waiting for a prayer. Keri, still in her quiet voice, said, “Let’s say our name and a Bible verse.” You could absolutely hear a pin drop in this room filled with thousands of people holding hands. One lady looked at Keri and began. She said her name and then said, “All I can think of is Hebrews 5:9.” She said the verse (but in my dream I couldn’t really hear what she said). Keri said her favorite verse, “I lift my eyes up to the mountains. Where does my help come from? It comes from the Lord, the maker of Heaven and Earth.” Psalm 121:1-2. When I looked at Keri, it was like she was the light of the room. She had such a golden glow surrounding her and people just felt at peace with her. The verse that came to my mind and mouth was "For God so loved the world, He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16



I woke up from my dream then and knew this was a big dream. Anytime I am given a Bible verse in a dream, I know it means something and I look it up.



Hebrews 5:9 says “In this way, God qualified him as a perfect High Priest, and he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him.”



I was curious so I read all of Hebrews 5 and was immediately hit with how powerful it was for me to have been given this verse. I encourage everyone to read it, but two verses that really stuck with me were Hebrews 5:7-8



7 While Jesus was here on earth, he offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the one who could rescue him from death. And God heard his prayers because of his deep reverence for God.

8 Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.



Verse 7 hit me because in the dream we were praying and pleading for God to save us from the apocalypse happening above us. Verse 8 got to me because in my dream Keri was our safe haven. She’s been through so much that past year and a half with her journey and fight against cancer, yet she’s been so faithful and obedient to God. She and everyone who knows her has offered prayers and pleadings on her behalf (verse 7 again).



Bottom line: My takeaway from the dream is that we all need to really start believing and praying about what will happen in the future of our Earth. We need to be praying for eternal salvation and really know our God and what He is capable of doing. We need to be helping others and praying with them and for them to know God and the great things He can do. We need to pay attention to those who show us through their obedience to God what He can do in our lives.



I love my sister and am constantly amazed by her. I’ve been in awe of how faith filled and obedient to God she has been through her journey. It is inspiring to do the same. Now to have a dream and see how many people she could touch just by speaking in her quiet tone and getting them to join together to pray is amazing.



I don’t know exactly why I had the dream or why those scriptures were put in the dream, but please think about it. Please think about your relationship with God and how you are helping to lead others to Him. Please share His word so that others can know Him.
