Personal Narrations

Joel Akin

Calgary, Alberta

My parents and I got a call from my Aunty in Michigan yesterday around 4pm. She said God had given her an important message. She doesn't get many of them though she spends a lot of time in prayer. And in fact this word she received was confirmed that day with a call from a prayer partner who had received pretty much the same message. That great destruction was about to fall upon the earth and Gods people were to humble themselves and seek Gods face. Aunti was amazed at this and I was glad as it confirmed what God has been saying to me.

I've been praying and asking God for a confirmation for some time in dreams. I hope God is not upset with me as its been nearly ten days since the last really significant dream. And I know I was going through the spiritual transference issue two weeks ago or so where Satan was trying to convince me the dreams were from him. Now I chose to believe but the majority of the dreams have been bizarre and basically un-interpretable since then.

I have been repenting and telling God I do accept the dreams as being from Him so maybe that explains the two dreams during the night. In both I watched as Bugs Bunny sat inside the cab of a crane playing around with the levers that picked up and moved earth around. First time in my life I've dreamed in cartoon and I didn't understand at first. But then I did and I just got a good chuckle. God was saying, I sent you dreams and in your heart you called them fantasy and you could not accept they represented things to come. So Now I'm sending you fantasy to show you reality and what my plans are for you.

It is an ironic laughter but also sad in a sense because I had any doubt. I suppose I could excuse myself but God is bringing me to a level where doubt is no longer acceptable. I know that now and have known it for several days. Yesterday, after Aunty had called, dad said to me, "That must make you feel better now that you have someone to confirm what Gods been showing you." I smiled and said, "It does help but I no longer have any doubts." And the truth is I don't. What I find most ironic is there is still a spirit trying to attack me, if not more then one, to put fear and worry. I don't even give it any heed, by Gods grace. I just don't doubt anymore and I realize that it is a choice just as uncertainty and doubt were. I know I could not have reached this place except it were by spending time with God for in Him there are no shadows or shades of darkness.
