i just sent this in an email and thought it might be worth sharing in here.
you know i used to have a lot of doubts. i got saved when i was real young like 10, and then of course by junior high i was into all the same crap as everyone else. by my first year of college i came to a point where i decided it was more fun to just do whatever i want and i shouldnt even have to worry bout God. but i also realized that if God was real and i gave up on Him that it would be the worst thing i ever did. so i came up with a plan. i prayed a prayer that would cover me so id find out for sure. i asked God with all sincerity to prove He was real. i told Him if your real then you can prove it and if you dont prove it then i quit im gonna sleep in on sundays and do whatever i want to.
well a couple months later i had a dream. this dream stuck with me for several days. i thought about it over and over and couldnt understand it. and finally i forgot about it. then the new semester started and i met a new friend in one of my classes. we were fast friends and a week later he invited me to meet up with him and smoke a blunt. so we walked around bud walton arena and smoked a blunt me him and another friend of his. and as we were walking back up to the dorm i recognized something wierd like i had seen it before. then we slapped hands and said alright slim cuz his name was slim and then i recognized him and his name from the dream i had before i ever met him. and then i almost fell over. he thought i was just too high lol. i went back to my dorm to hide but for the next 4 hours i knew everything that was going to happen and it all happened exactly as i had dreamed it. now you might think i was just high but this happened 3 more times that year each with new people in new places that i never could have come up with on my own.
that was the answer to that prayer. i may do wrong or make mistakes but i will never again have any doubt that God is real and that He will tell me stuff if i ask. those dreams freaked me out so much i quit school lol. then i started having them at work and i told 4 people that worked with me cuz i just couldnt keep it to myself i thought id go crazy. each one of them pulled a no call no show the day after i told them what was happening and they never came back to work lol 4 guys. then i stopped telling people. but i thought maybe you awta know that when you seek an answer from God about something it comes right on time. and each thing you ask for you will get. you may have to grow a little but if you want to be a prophet, or speak in tongues or have supernatural understanding or whatever you gota ask. and you gota get ready cuz the answers dont come the way you may think. i never thought id see a vision of my own future but thats how it came, so be open to whatever you find in God and ask and ask and keep asking until it happens cuz it will.
sometimes God has to move you into place or teach you life lessons before your able to understand the things He sends your way cuz its a whole different system from how things work in this world. thats why its important to always be trying to learn and grow. pray and read your bible because it speeds up the process alot.
