The Shepherd
With The Gash In His Arm:
On
the evening of February 09, 1988. I had a dream where I saw a man standing still
and he was not wearing a shirt. He had a large bleeding gash in his arm that
went about half the way around the arm. He was calling for help but the people
that he was calling to could do nothing for him. The next morning the Lord
showed me what this meant. The man is Mr. Prideful. The gash in his arm is the sin
in his life that he refuses to repent of. The people that he was calling to are
the things in this life that so many people cling to in time of trouble and
these things can never satisfy. These things include but aren't even close to
being limited to; the love of money, materialism
and popularity. If he does not repent and renounce these things, he will bleed
to death.
The Following
happened a few days later:
The date today is February 22, 1988. I wish to take some time to record some
more of the blessings that the Lord God has given to me. Last Sunday I was
invited to visit Steve and Robbyn. When I arrived there Steve seemed so
excited. He said that he wanted to show me something that the Lord had shown him
the night before, while he was reading his Bible. He went to the book of
Zechariah, Chapter 11:17. This describes a worthless shepherd. It says that his
arm will be cut by the sword and will shrivel away. Steve and I were both amazed
at how God used this verse to confirm what He showed me in a
dream.
