beat the deadline

I found myself visiting the house where I grew up. So many memories. Nostalgic. Suddenly I was asked if I wanted to join some people who was coming together to have fellowship with each other and with God. And of course I wanted that. It turned out to be the neighbor house from where I used to live!

On my way over to the house I saw a woman sitting on a chair outside the house. I asked why she sat there, and was told that she loved Jesus and wanted to be close to the place where He would be worshipped, but her husband had cancer and was very weak. She had to watch him all the time in case he needed help. From where she sat, she could see him through the window and he could signal if he needed assistance.

When I went inside I met different kinds of people. Young and old. I said hello to everyone of them. I remember one of the guys. He was from America, and I have actually met him in real life in England. So there he was in this home group in Bergen. I thought that was cool. I remember also I said hello to an older woman. All in all I think there was around ten people meeting up to share life and encourage each other in faith. I felt a strong sence of expectance in the group, a simpleminded trust in God, that He would change them and minister to them.

I woke up in awe and wonder.

This is what my heart longs for. And here I am. A year later. Moved back to this God favoured place, thinking how will it happen. What can I do to fill this place with the precence of God and the vitality of His Spirit?

Some months later in a Sunday service. I saw the old woman in my dream. She was the grandmother to a friend of mine. There she stood on the platform reading a poem that glorified God. I was on my knee and filled with awe. Later I also discovered that this woman has lived in the area where I live now, where my dream took place, for many, many years.

God, have your way in this place!!!!!!
