Learning Prayer and Intercession
Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 4:09 pm
I had this dream last night 8/20/09
Elie and Noah and I are visiting a large church. The church is huge and there are people everywhere in different bleacher styled sections and they are full of people almost hanging off the rafters it seems. We are seated at the left end of a section that is toward the front left of the auditorium. The service is starting and the pastor is a tall slender woman dressed in red. She has an air of wisdom and authority about her. Everybody seems to like her teaching and so do we it seems.
The topic she is speaking on is the topic of prayer and intercession. I dont' seem in the dream to remember what exactly she is saying about the topic. She is giving a story or example and she starts talking about this one boy who has a "worm" for a leg and how he needs healing. A little later on, Noah and I start to head for the restroom in the back area behind the section we are sittnig in, when I see this young boy coming out of the restroom with a "worm" leg as he is missing a foot and there is only a rounded withering stump for a leg that looks like a worm and he is missing an arm that is withered as well. I look at him and then ask if I can pray for him, he agrees. I lay my hands on his shoulders and start to pray for him, and then this other kid goes crazy and takes a hold of his leg and starts to pull and screams worm come off! I stop the other kid, then I go back to laying my hands on and praying for the kid with the messed up leg and arm again. I start praying ... "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I ask for healing and restoration in this leg and arm"... As I am praying for the boy the Holy Spirit starts to move and I feel the power as I am praying. All of a sudden I hear this loud pop noise like an explosion had gone off between us and I feel this explosion force pushing me backwards through the air. I black out.
After that I wake up on the floor flat on my back looking up and the first thing I see is the kid I was praying for and the female pastor who are standing over me and looking back down at me. The kid is happy and he looks like he received the healing, but I am not sure. The female pastor then tells me in an authoritative voice "follow me" to which I reply "yes mamm" and I get up and I start following her. I can see the rest of the crowd in the church and their mouths are gaping open and they are watching me follow her out the rear doors of the church. I was thinking to myself oooh I am in trouble now. I follow her through a few hallways, then we enter what looks to be a library area of the church. Instead of one big open library, it is sectioned off into many different rooms and some of the rooms are on different levels. Instead of stairs there are ramps everywhere to go up and down between the different levels. I can see that some of the rooms have one or a few people studying, some of the rooms have small classes of children or small groups of adults having a class or studying in them. The pastor leads me up a ramp to this one higher room and then we have to even climb a ladder up to get into this one little private room. As we are passing the librarian up the ramp, she tells me that this is a private room that used to belong to "?" and I don't remember what name she told me.
The female pastor again told me "follow me" and she headed up the ladder into darkess. I again told her "Yes mamm" and I followed her up the ladder through a tight tunnel into a little room that was on the top of the building. It was a small room with barely enough room for the two of us, everything was made out of a dark colored older wood that seemed ancient. There was a small window there which looked out across the top of the roof and I could see a river near by the church but that was all, it seemed the small window was the only source of light in the small room. After we sat down, the female pastor handed me a small red book and she told me that the book had belonged to the previous owner of the room. Again I didn't remember the previous owners name. She then told me that the book was about prayer and intercession and that she was giving it to me and that I should read it and study it.
I proceeded to look at the small red book on the outside and then I opened it up on the inside. All of the first chapters were well read and they were even missing many words and there was this one page that had part of it cut out and another page that had too many markings in pen on the page that I could not read the words. I was starting to think that I would not be able to read anything in this book as it was too old and very worn out due to some possible misuse. The second half of the book was outlines and studies that I could read. There were many Biblical verse references in the book. I thanked her for the book and the dream ended.
Any help appreciated. Thank you.
