One night as I slept I saw a dream in which my father is driving a dirt removing truck which has 2 metal hands with huge scoopers to scoop out mud from a site and throw it away elsewhere. I am seated in one scoop and in the other one is another man, a wicked one. As my father drives the vehicle, the metal hands keep moving up and down and scoops mud and throws it elsewhere. This brings great fear

My parents had been suffering from acute gastroenteritis and I had been taking care of them. It seemed to be a virulent infection with my mother and then my father getting infected in quick succession. As a doctor, I took the necessary precautions so as not to get the infection myself. But I had a fear that I would also get the infection because of close contact in helping my parents and checking

My grandmother once had persistent cough and wheezing for around 4-5 months. I put her on medication but the condition persisted. I got her blood tests done and changed the medicines, but there wasn’t any improvement. The x-ray of her chest didn’t reveal any problems with her lungs or bronchial system. She and others at home were disturbed by the constant hacking cough and I was in a quandary. We

One night, in a dream I saw one of the pastors in our town dying in an accident. The accident was quite horrific and I woke up with a start, in the middle of the night. I prayed for him that the accident may not happen and that the Lord may be merciful and avert such a mishap. After a while, I slept and again in a dream, I saw a terrible storm hit this pastor’s house and him dying in the calamity

Some years ago when I pastored a Church, a lame man joined us for worship. Lame in both legs, he could walk only with his bent knees and hands (very difficult to explain it in words). Yet he would join us for the Wednesday meetings and Sunday worship. Those days we had our church on the 3rd floor and he walked it up on all 4 limbs as there was no lift in the building. The only problem was that I

A time came in our lives when we (me & my wife) decided to leave the house where we lived with my parents and move to a rented house closer to my clinic. There was opposition regarding this from several relatives and we were in a quandry whether to shift or not to shift. We knew that it was God's will that we should move out for a while, but the opposition was real too.One night as I slept the

Once while I fasted for 7 days, I had a very close fellowship with the Lord. I had been fasting and praying for several reasons including personal sanctification and the members of my church. Sometime towards the end of the fast, one night the Lord showed me a dream. It was not exactly about the people I had prayed for, but believers and people in the ministry in our town.3 distinct sins were

Late in 1997, for a period of 2-3 weeks, my 5 year old daughter, who usually enjoyed worship and prayer with us at home and church seemed to be irritable and disinterested when it was time for prayer. She seemed to be troubled when the prayer time approached and because of the trouble she created, the joy of worship was lost. We tried to pacify her in different ways but nothing seemed to work. If

Long back, early in our walk with the Lord, we happened to be worshipping in an Interdenominational Church. For 2 years, we really enjoyed the worship. Then came a time when some of the members of the Church started behaving in an inappropriate manner in their relationships with each other. Though this was very evident to all, they were not warned/stopped/forbidden in their indecency by the

One night in a dream, I saw my wife and me sitting in our room talking about certain matters. Suddenly through the open window, I see a dark woman running towards the front of our house. Her hair is strewn around her head and she has a wicked laugh. I run to the front room to check her out and as I enter the front room, she flings a coiled thing into the front room through the open window. I feel

During a period of intense struggles in my life, one night in a dream, I saw myself walking through a wilderness. There's no one with me and I feel tired because of the hot sun bearing down upon me.Suddenly there is an earthquake and the earth below me starts caving in. I run here and there trying to escape being sucked into the huge gaps in the earth below. On seeing a rock, I climb on top but

Some Christians are so legalistic in their living that they cause harm and misery not only for themselves but also for others.There was a fellow who was healed miraculously by God of a life threatening illness. He was given the best of medical care but he went from bad to worse and finally was written off by doctors as a “cold case” meaning nothing more can be done medically and his relatives

Some of the dreams that I dream are like short movies and this was one of them. I saw this dream long back, when I was a new believer and not yet in the ministry.In this dream, I was being chased by a villian with a revolver. He's shooting at me and some of the bullets just graze my body. I run through alleys and through the streets as fast as I can and escape his attack narrowly.As I heave a

Early in my career as a doctor, once in a dream I saw myself and a few others riding bikes on a highway. After sometime we turn to the left and traverse a narrow path that leads to a steep staircase. When we near the staircase/steps, my companions just increase the speed of their bikes and ride effortlessly on the steps and go away. But I stop my bike at the foot of the staircase and look

Once in a dream, I saw myself standing beside a path with a father like figure (one that I have mentioned in other dreams). The path is quite strange because it is full of rocks that are rolling through the path at high speed.We both observe this for a while and then he tells me, "Come let us walk through that path." I say, "No way, I am not going to walk through those rolling rocks, they'll

Early in my ministry, most of the members of my church in South India, were from the lower strata of society, many of them, daily wage earners. Sometimes I felt that it was because of these poor people that the well to do people avoided joining my church. So I started praying to the Lord for well to do families to accept the true gospel and join our church instead of people from the lower strata

I have often longed to have a glimpse of Heaven in a dream and have prayed for the same many a time but that prayer has not yet been answered. On the contrary, I have never prayed to the Lord to show me Hell in a dream, because of the tendency to get frightened seeing the torments (as described in the Bible) there, yet some months ago the Lord showed me some sections of hell for a while in a

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.(Revelation 12:11a)Last night (17/03/06)as I slept, I saw a dream. In the dream I happen to be walking along a road and there are a few others walking beside me. After a while 3-4 vicious looking guys come from the opposite direction and they have several fierce looking dogs with them. As they come near me, the guys

Early in my ministry, I decided to spend one whole night in prayer. My purpose was to seek more power while ministering for the Lord. I had read in the gospels how Jesus sometimes spent whole nights in fervent prayer and that inspired me much. I had a very light dinner that night and sat down to pray. Though tiring it was a delightful experience. As the night progressed, I was a bit drowsy at

Ever experienced deadness in your family life, married life or your spiritual life? Nothing seems to give joy anymore. Relationships are strained and at the point of rupture. You know something is wrong but you don't know what to do about it. A silent confusion. Just the minimal talk between you and your spouse or between you and other family members.I think we all go through this once in a while

Several years back, we happened to be ministering in an area where most of the local people were idol worshippers. The spiritual warfare was intense and we often despaired at the tactics of the evil forces in thwarting the gospel work that we were doing there.During such a time, one night the Lord showed me a dream. In the dream, a wolf was following a lamb at a very close distance, trying to

One night in a dream, I saw myself driving a vehicle. It seemed to be a long journey and there were a lot of twists and turns on the way. I seemed to be enjoying the drive and was especially happy that I was at the controls, manouvering the vehicle in whatever way I wanted.After a while, I happened to look at my side and saw a father like figure with another set of brake, clutch and accelerator

In the early stages of my walk with Christ, whenever I sat for praying or reading the Word, I would feel extremely sleepy and start yawning. This became so evident that one day my wife commented about the same. It was then that I too realized that something was amiss and prayed about the same. I often wondered what the possible cause could be, but could not reach a conclusion.While I was

One day as I was finishing my work at the Clinic, my assistant informed me that someone from the vigilance department of the police wanted to see me urgently. I wondered what the cause was and asked my assistant to usher him in. After saying "Hello", I asked him what the reason for his coming was. He was reluctant to say much and proceeded to show me a letter that had been received by the

One night several years back, in a dream, I saw myself preaching to a congregation. Some of the faces in the audience were very familiar to me, friends and members of my church, but then as if a camera were zooming in on someone, one face stood out from the rest. It was of a middle aged man, partially bald, medium height and stout. He was in the 2nd or 3rd row and listening intently to my

A friend of mine, a businessman, happened to call me one day and tell me that his brother had suffered a massive heart attack and died within an hour of his being admitted in the Intensive Coronary Care Unit. I sympathized with him and consoled him at the loss and asked a few family details. I said I would pray for him that the Lord would grant him peace in this tragic circumstance that he

Around 3 years back, one day when I was at home visiting my parents, I received a phone call. The caller identified himself and said that he wanted to meet me urgently. I said I was busy and would meet him the next day after my work at the clinic. He came the next day at around 12.30 pm and met me at my clinic. He told me that he had been convicted for drug abuse and as an accomplice in a murder

Once, a youth started regularly attending our worship services after I had explained to him the gospel truths. He was involving himself in all the activities of the Church and seemed to have taken a decision for living for the Lord.Then one night, the Lord showed me a dream regarding him. In the dream, we both are having dinner and I am serving him food. He seemed to be enjoying it for a while

One night as I slept, the Lord showed me a dream regarding how we must always be spiritually alert and not give a foothold to the enemy in our lives.In the dream I am on the terrace of our house laying clothes on a clothesline. While I’m laying the clothes, I am in prayer and meditating on the Word. Suddenly I turn back and look and see a lion following close on my heels as I walk to and fro

My father-in-law was bedridden and deeply comatose for the last 2 months of his life because of brain cancer. We had him admitted in a hospital for nursing care. Initially there were many relatives and friends coming to visit, but later on everyone except me and my wife and a couple of others visited. There was nothing much to do except pray for God's will to be fulfilled.Those days we lived in

Once when I lived in a rented house, though the owners were kind to me, the person who was looking after the house when the owners had gone abroad, was always seeking an oppurtunity to make us leave the place because of vested interests.I happened to know this because the Lord would show me a dream regarding this each time the fellow planned against us. Everytime I would pray to the Lord not to

We had been desperately searching for a house on rent as we had to vacate the one we were staying in because the term was over. For almost 2 months we looked here and there, asking, enquiring and inspecting. But our search did not yield fruit. Initially our prayers were routine, but as time passed and the deadline drew near our prayers were fervent. During that time, one night the Lord showed me

One night in May 2003, I saw a dream which frightened me much. In the dream, I saw myself and my wife stepping into a vehicle without wheels, somewhat like the basket of a hot air balloon. All of a sudden a gust of wind propels the basket like vehicle into the air. I and my wife hold on to the sides of the vehicle. The wind increases in speed in might and speed and turns into a whirlwind. Both of

Last Saturday (10/7/2006) night, the Lord showed me a dream. One of the members of our church is trapped in a large wooden cage with nets all around. The brothers from our church are trying fervently to get him out and I too am with them. Finally I was able to tear the nets covering one side of the cage and the brother was freed.I prayed for the matter at night itself at around 2am, when I woke

In 2004-05, when several earthquakes were occuring all over the world and in India, I was awakened one night by the Lord by showing me a dream of a massive earthquake occuring here in Kerala, South India. In the dream, I was driving my car to our Church but to my horror, the roads are split wide open and I can neither go forwards/backwards. Obviously it was a warning that a quake would hit our

In the year 1994, one night I had a dream. In the dream, I am walking along with a very close friend of mine on the road near my clinic. Nothing spectacular happening. The usual buzz of people going about their businesses and traffic plying by. We seemed to be discussing some recent events in our lives, enjoying the good sunny weather as we walked along.We both had umbrellas to shield us from the
