Just a place to store some memories

Repairing the foundations

Yesterday I went to Manduarah with Narelle and I got to meet her mum and explore the area with them, which was great, despite the intense heat. I think it was about 40 degrees down there!

Anyway, the main reason I went down there was to talk to Alice, who is a mighty warrior, who sees herself as a Prayer Lawyer for God. Prior to seeing her, God gave me a dream in which I was at the top of some very high scaffolding, like about 14 floors high. Strangely, instead of climbing down it in a normal manner, I hurled myself over the side and found myself swinging like monkey on the outside, climbing lower and lower from bar to bar. I didn't feel any fear, despite seeing the huge distance below me. I was strong and confident and I had a lot of courage. At the bottom, I found myself standing behind a guy holding a torch, and we were looking at the foundations of the building, which had a few cracks in it and needed repairing.

Alice said the dream was symbolic of my life and the fact that yesterday marked the start of some restorative work in me, where God would strengthen my foundations. For the last few weeks, I have had many flashbacks of my childhood and some awful experiences I had. Alice said it was because the Holy Spirit was revealing things to me in the lead up to meeting her, stuff that, after so many years, I needed to revisit and deal with.

The weird thing is, in the dreams I have, I am this super fit, super strong athletic person with no fear and I am dressed differently to how I would dress in real life. I would never wear clothes like that. I would never do the things I do in my dreams. My journey, my life, is just so strange.

I am so grateful God has finally brought a whole group of people into my life who understand dreams and visions, who know their calling and their purpose. Most of the young people in this church, if not all, have been to see Alice. God uses this lady in a realy amazing way. I don't really know much about her, just that she has managed to empower and set free so many people. Imagine her CV. Haha, what a funny thought.
