Dear Friend,

Good Friday is the most somber day in the Church, as Christians observe the Crucifixion of Jesus and his death on Calvary. Today, Catholics fast in mourning to accompany our Lord in his suffering on the cross. On this solemn Friday, tradition calls for a day of prayer and reflection.

Today is the only day of the year when the Church does not celebrate Mass and tabernacles are empty of the Eucharist throughout the world. The faithful adore and contemplate the cross, and many pray the Stations of the Cross. We invite you to learn more about following in the footsteps of Jesus on his way to Calvary. Click here to watch Bishop Barron’s reflections on the Stations of the Cross.

We pray God will give us the grace to take up the crosses of our own lives with joy and unite our suffering to that of our Savior. As we meditate on Christ’s Passion today, we are also reminded of the vital need to continue proclaiming Christ in the culture. May Jesus and the power of his cross give us the courage to share the message of our redemption with all those in our lives who need to hear it.

God bless you,

What? Why (we?) say/think (whomever) is up, looking down, because it is valid for related mourner's, etc to feel encouraged, faithful, misc (you know). This is the first, foremost and longest of two test period's, prior unto the first and biggest of two Judgment Day's. Hence it is the longest. Listen, why does humanity continue has they have for age's, even with Adam and Eve, to give that fool (to say the least) - Lucifer and audience and something to laugh at/about? That fool doesn't deserve an audience, ever, of any kind. That fool was (SUPPOSE TO) be in obedience, misc as that of or like the other (good) Angel's (you know what I mean).

Anna's Dream: Words of Wisdom & Knowledge by Charity Kayembe

My good friend, Anna, shared a dream with me over the weekend that illustrates so beautifully how God is always speaking. He gives us practical answers to whatever challenges we face and He faithfully leads and guides us into all truth.

Since the setting from our waking world comes first, before we have the dream, we’ll start there. Anna’s friend – who we’ll call John – was very sick. He had been to the doctors and although they were able to determine that it was his liver that was giving him problems, they had no idea why.

Various medical tests and scans were run, with no clear results. They could see John was ill but couldn’t figure out the reason for it. And since they didn’t understand the root cause, they didn’t know how to help him. But good thing for John, he had a friend who hears from God through her dreams.


Enter Anna
I asked Anna to share her vision of the night in her own words...
DREAM: John was struggling to fix the bottom of a wall that was falling in and bugs were crawling under it. The wall was on sand, and I think maybe on the other side was a beach. The bugs were small and yellow spirals… we saw them walk towards the holes in the wall. John was trying to fix the holes… but it kept crumbling. I said, “I can help... we need to fix this foundation, so the bugs don’t keep getting in…” I removed a long piece of, I believe, coral … I didn’t want it to break, or to cut myself… I then started to replace the holes, especially the area where coral was.

ACTION: Fixing a foundational issue by getting the bugs out.
EMOTION: Concerned about being cut by coral.
SETTING: Praying for John and wisdom about the underlying issue making him sick.
INTERPRETATION: Anna meditated on the dream, asking Holy Spirit for His understanding and revelation. What the Lord brought to mind through the images in the dream, combined with John’s waking life experiences, were the answer to both of their prayers!
A few months prior to these health issues, John had traveled internationally. While overseas, he had been swimming and inadvertently got too close to a coral reef, cutting his foot on the sharp edges.

Because of the dream, Anna realized the root cause and underlying “foundational” issue of John’s health challenges may be parasites. In the dream, she was trying to “help him get bugs out.” Obviously, bugs are another name for parasites, and the concept of coral being something dangerous that could cut and harm was definitely highlighted in the dream too.

Anna shared these thoughts with her friend, and John honored God’s voice through the dream. He went back to his doctor and asked if there was a possibility that parasitic bugs could be the problem, and could he have been exposed to them when he cut his foot on a coral reef overseas?

The doctor ran tests that confirmed both to be true! In fact, the parasites he was then diagnosed with were even yellow and spiral in shape, just like the bugs in Anna’s dream. Amazing! What all the doctors and all the scans couldn't reveal, God did. Not through the medical team, not through the laboratory testing... but through. a. DREAM.

One beloved daughter and faithful friend, listening and resting. Praying and pondering.
We can see how honoring Father's voice through our dreams sets us up for all manner of success. We never need to be anxious. Never confused or stressed out or afraid. All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. And He's in us! That means everything we need to know is already within. We just need to learn how to connect with Holy Spirit's river of revelation and receive from it nightly.

In summary, we know Jesus is our Great Physician. He has every solution to every challenge, every answer to every problem. He IS the Answer! And He expresses His Spirit of wisdom and knowledge to us in our dreams. He downloads revelation and understanding while we sleep.

God is always speaking. And thankfully for John… Anna was listening!

Can dream interpretation be easy? Is it possible to make something that seems so strange, actually be simple and fun? YES. Because once you know the right questions to ask, you can get the right answers. Once you know what you’re looking for, it’s easier to see!
But don’t just take our word for it. Shawn Bolz says, “So far the simplest teaching I have ever heard on dreams – and possibly some of the most profound – is coming from Charity Kayembe.”

As Christians, we believe God can speak through dreams. After all, God can do anything He wants! Yet we often limit our expectations of a nightly revelation to once in a lifetime or maybe once every two or three years. But what if God was speaking through our dreams all the time? What if He had so much compassion and encouragement to give us, He poured it out all day AND all night?

Job 33 tells us that He speaks over and over again, we just don’t recognize it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when we go to sleep, He whispers to us. And how regularly does He do this? Oftentimes.

Does God speak to teenagers in their dreams? He did with Joseph and his bowing stars.
Does God download lucrative business ideas in dreams? Just ask Jacob about his sheep.
Does God provide relationship advice in dreams? Consider Mary and Joseph’s engagement.
You may be tempted to think your dreams are so weird, God couldn’t possibly be speaking through them. Yet what about Gideon and that loaf of barley bread? Or even if it’s scary, it’s comforting to know God can still provide a benefit through it, just like Abraham's dream.

The most exciting truth is He speaks to all of us, whether we believe in dreams – or in God – or not. Look at Pharoah and Nebuchadnezzar. He has so much creativity to bless the world with, He doesn’t limit Himself only to believers.

God is freely downloading all manner of solutions and strategy to anyone who is paying attention and honoring their dreams. He is pouring out His Spirit on ALL of us… and everyone is seeing visions and dreaming dreams (Acts 2:17).

Don’t miss out on all the wisdom and perspective Heaven is providing while you sleep. Help your family experience Father’s heart, feeling seen and known by Him. Show your friends how much God cares for them and everything that concerns them. And most of all make sure they know God loves them so much He can’t wait to meet them in their dreams!

Troubles
MARCH 5, 2024

If children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
Romans 8:17

Recommended Reading: Romans 8:31-35
Salesmen speak about the features and benefits of a product. What if one of the features described was suffering that resulted from using the product? Sometimes new Christians are surprised to discover that they still have troubles in life after becoming a follower of Jesus. They feel the “product” wasn’t presented fairly.

Jesus told His disciples that “in the world you will have tribulation” (John 16:33). That was not to scare them but to prepare them. Paul explained further: In Christ, we are “joint heirs” with Him. As “joint heirs,” one of the things we inherit is to “suffer with Him” that we might also share in His glory (Romans 8:17). Paul then spent the next 22 verses of Romans 8 (verses 18-39) explaining the suffering we may experience in this world but that in Christ we are “more than conquerors” (verse 37). God uses everything we experience—even our troubles—to conform us to the image of Christ (verses 28-29). Nothing in this world—not even our sins—can separate us from the love of God (verses 34-39).

Whether our troubles are from the world or of our own making, God is faithful. Give Him thanks today for His faithful love.

Shall light troubles make you forget weighty mercies?

Owner or Steward?
Bible in a Year :
Numbers 23–25
Mark 7:14–37
Every animal of the forest is mine.

Today's Scripture & Insight :

Psalm 50:7–15
“Am I an owner or a steward?” The CEO of a multibillion-dollar company asked himself that question as he weighed what was best for his family. Concerned about the temptations that can come with vast wealth, he didn’t want to burden his heirs with that challenge. So he gave up ownership of his company and placed 100 percent of the voting stock in a trust. Recognizing that everything he owns belongs to God helped him make the decision to allow his family to earn a living in exchange for work while also using future profits to fund Christian ministry.

In Psalm 50:10, God tells His people, “Every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.” As the Creator of all things, God owes us nothing and needs nothing from us. “I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,” He says (v. 9). He generously provides everything that we have and use as well as the strength and the ability to earn a living. Because He does, as the psalm shows us, He’s worthy of our heartfelt worship.

God owns everything. But because of His goodness, He even chose to give Himself, entering into a relationship with any who turn to Him. Jesus “did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). When we value the Giver over the gifts and serve Him with them, we're blessed to delight in Him forever.
