Dream of Heaven

Jeffwhosoever · Oct 19, 2012

I've had several apocalyptic dreams before, but the dream I had this week seems more of a vision than a dream.

When I awoke, I had an immediate sadness, and I probably cried for half an hour.

I dreamed I was in heaven, and everything was amazing. I ran into relatives who have been dead for years, some decades. Incredibly, some I did not at first recognize, because they looked younger than I'd seen them in real life. But, they found me in the dream, and told me who they were. Grandparents, uncles and aunts, probably a dozen relatives.

I asked several of them where other people were. I knew not everyone was there. But, they explained to me, memories of those not with us had been wiped away.

We were on earth. But, it was magical yet physical and real as real life. The only difference - no hunger, no sorrow, no sadness, no war, no fighting, no hate.

I did not meet Jesus in this dream, but I could sense His presence. It was like he was with me everywhere I went.

The dream was so good, when I awoke, I was upset that I was back alive again. Then, I thought of all the relatives I had not seen in decades, like I had just visited with them. I could not hold back the tears.

It sounds wonderful, and it sounds as though the Spirit has taken you for a short visit. When we stand in His presence we sure do tend to be so moved in our hearts that the tears flow easily. I imagine that while in heaven, one would be surrounded by His presence even if you didn't "see" Him. And, it would really nice if our memories of those that did not go to heaven were wiped away...it would make sense as to the "no pain or sorrow" being present. With deep grief,I cannot bear to think of my friends and family that may not go to be with us in heaven. My 80 year old father is not a believer and my sisters and I cannot stand the thought of never seeing him again. He thinks when he dies it is the complete end of him, and that people who believe in such nonsense are weak and don't face facts. The Lord has shown himself in wonderful unspoken ways through my sisters and I, yet he refuses to believe. He is a really nice and very loving man, that I will miss (if I remember him in heaven) If anyone feels compelled, I would appreciate a prayer for him....

Oh sorry. I'm praying for your father. May the Lord bless him.

That's ok, Ditte, the Lord knew who you were talking about. Thank you again, and may the Lord bless you for it.

Love is the final testimony. It is the holy of holies.

This, I do know.

Thank you for posting Jeff. I know I for one am ready to leave this whacked out rock and be a permanent resident of Heaven

Got to love those dreams that you wish you would never wake up from. Remembering your grandfather.

Start believing the scripture in Acts about you and your household being saved. God will work wonders on the behalf of your loved ones if you will have faith and believe. Start reading that scripture out loud and get it built in to your spirit. He'll start working on Him (even in his dreams) and sick or well, He'll deal with your loved ones. They are precious to you and He is looking for something to move on in their lives so you can be together eternally. He loves them anyway, but He is looking for His people to believe His promises. When we mix faith with them, He responds!

I've had a real revelation of this of late and I'd be lost not knowing if my loved ones weren't going to make it. I'd feel compelled to carry the burden (that God wants to carry) because I love them so much. Stand up in faith and declare the promise.

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Acts 16:30-31

Don't move off of it and say anything to the contrary. Keep building this promise into your spirit by speaking it forth and declaring it.

What a wonderful dream of Heaven.

When I was 14, I was asleep on the bed and I dreamt that God took the roof off of the house (I saw the stars in the heavens) and retracted my bed with me on it straight into His presence. It was like a telescope being twisted and suddenly I was right before God! I was a big time sinner too! I was terrified! I don't remember what was said, but I remember having peace that it was going to be ok.

It took me ten more years before I submitted my life to the Lord. I had forgotten about it and passed it off, but I believe it really happened! Solomon had his big moment in his dream and don't you know he woke up happy for saying the right thing!

humblewatchman · Oct 20, 2012

Thank you Alive-Again,

I am familiar with that scripture. It goes on to say;

"30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your household.” 32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33 At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized."

So you see that word given to the jailer was prophetic. They were "all" saved, because they all first heard the Word, and then believed and then were baptized. I would love to think that my household/relatives/friends/ would be saved because of my salvation reaching over to cover them, but it is not what the scriptures say in so many other places. What it says is that we are each individually responsible for our own faith and choices. I can, however, stand on the love the Lord has for me and my earthly father, and I thank you for reminding me.

Alive_Again · Oct 21, 2012

All of our friends and family need to receive the Lord just like everyone else who heard the Word. Here's where grace comes in to minister the Word to those who would otherwise not listen. He'll put them in a position to hear it, again and again. If you meditate on that scripture and read it out loud, your spirit and the Holy Spirit will begin to learn more about the meaning of it and your mind will be bypassed. Our minds don't receive the things of God without the spirit getting involved first.

Give it a go!

Awesome dream! Thanks for sharing and I just connected a few dots because of your dream. Everyone in heaven is young! Even a 3 year old said it.

I also heard it that everyone is young.

Wow, great dream, fits some stuff I had been wondering about and gives me more to wonder about, thanks for sharing...

I'll pray for him. Don't doubt. I always take that text: for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I prayed my granddad, an antitheist, into heaven. My mother told him the gospel. He was saved on his death bed, never wanted to have anything to do with God. The Lord said to me just before he died: you have the keys, use them. Tomorrow will be too late. Well, he's in heaven now. I saw him in a dream after he died, he was saved and in church. Never underestimate what prayer can do and corporate prayer can do more. I'll keep praying. Have you ever seen that film of Ian McCormack, an atheist who was saved in his last breath, because his mother prayed? That was one of the things that gave me faith for it.

I have much faith, and I really appreciate your willingness to pray for my father. It always feels so very good to have others join you in prayer over something so important. Blessings to you.

Prayers going up for your Grandfather. I fully believe the Lord hears and acts on prayer. Otherwise, I would not be here myself, but that is another story. God bless you.
