I had been home all week with migraines and had gone to the doctor out of desperation. After a failed attempt of remedying my pain with no narcotics, I ended up having to have a Morphine shot. I was hoping there was another alternative because of the risk of "rebound headaches" from narcotics. My body didn't take to the only alternative. Long story short, I was home in bed and once the meds started warring off, the pangs of another migraine started. I closed my eyes and prayed though pain and tears that He would just please let me have relief and not let me have a rebound. I fell asleep, and woke up feeling 100% better, no rebound headache!<BR/><BR/>Second, last night. Actually, this morning since it was 3:30am. I woke from a very odd dream with a very familiar praise song in my head. The song WOULD NOT get out of my head and I finally realized two things: one - this song had not yet been written. Two - I was not going to sleep the rest of the night unless I wrote it down. So, I got my paper and pen and wrote down enough verses in the bathroom so I would remember the jist of the song! The final draft to be released at a later date.<BR/><BR/>So, there you have prayer form and dream form.<BR/><BR/>~SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5517856783837231991.post-62564650913217240782007-10-05T16:09:00.000-07:002007-10-05T16:09:00.000-07:00For me, a couple of the major ways that God reveal...For me, a couple of the major ways that God reveals himself are in creation, and in history. These are considered General Revelation, as contrasted to Special Revelation where God speaks through words. But in observing nature in all its complexity, God's power and wisdom seem to come through especially clearly.<BR/><BR/>The other thing that stands out to me is the survival of God's chosen people, the Jews, over all these centuries. None of the other ancient peoples has survived, with the possible exception of Egypt. Many governments have tried to destroy them, from Egypt, Babylon, and Assyria in the past to the inquisition, Hitler, and Arab nations today. And yet they survive strongly and blessed by God. This is truly a God who keeps his promises.Harry B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02144921743224064212noreply@blogger.com
