Dream Narrations

Joel Akin

 I saw myself before a large crowd of people. The power of God was upon me and as the people reached out and touched me they were immediately healed or fell under the power. I turned my back on the people and began to rise into the air. I cried out, "DO NOT TOUCH ME!" The people fell back but the church leaders reached out trying to help me rise. I was in a church rising before a man made altar. On the wall in front of me were several icons, one similar to a cross but more in the shape of a plus. There was also writing on the wall in a language I could not read.

While floating before this man made altar I began to speak in rote, as of someone who had repeated a phrase hundreds of times, yet had forgotten the meaning of it. Yet what I spoke was not English but Latin. And as I read this from off the wall the people heard me speak and said amen, just as automatically as I had read again. Again I repeated in Latin the phrase and once again the people droned amen. Then still reading the writing I began to speak under the power of the Holy Ghost in a language that sounded like Portuguese or Spanish. Using these oft repeated phrases I began to plead with the people to repent, to turn from their sin, that God was merciful. And and then came the anger, the frustration with the people. And as Gods anger burned I saw in the spirit the streets of the city and there came a great wind and a great fire that picked up and tossed cars and vehicles before it. One of the vehicles was cast into the church, into the music section. I watched as the piano player, the drummer, and the guitar player ran with great fear to escape the destruction. Then there was silence and the reading of the wall was finished and I turned before the people, and stood behind the pulpit as a minister would do. On the left side of the church the pews were almost totally emptied though when I started the whole church was full. On the right side of the church the people still sat but their faces were pale with great fear.

I awoke.
