On Saturday, 4-16-16 I dreamed about layers of fruitfulness throughout one’s life (like words of knowledge) and then I found myself in what I knew to be the Rev. Billy Graham’s North Carolina home’s study where his younger, vital self was sitting alone in a well-loved comfortable chair. I was struck by his dark, wavy hair close up. I did not realize his hair had curl to it since many decades have gone by since his middle age and I am used to seeing him older. He seemed about 35 – 40. I was across the room watching him writing a sermon powerfully under unction of Holy Spirit with a large well-worn Bible and notepad on his lap. He looked up and noticed me in the room and said something to me about people who are performing with excellence for the Lord are set apart and known by God.
I woke up thinking, “Wow! What an honor to have been given the chance by God to see my hero of the faith working with Holy Spirit. Also, I want to pursue excellence of character and service for the Lord. The eternal joy of forsaking the glittering fleeting pleasures of this world to be set apart and known by God for all eternity.” Yes, please. Sign me up for a double portion of the faithful evangelist mantle! Oh to serve Christ well in this life with His uncompromising truth so that we may sweep many others into God’s Kingdom! Amen.
“So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.” Malachi 3:18
