A dream about John Wimber
On Wednesday 20th October I had a rather interesting dream. This is rather unusual because I rarely dream (at least dreams that I can remember the next morning!). The whole dream had rather a "Lord of the Rings" feel to it.
The dream began with John Wimber in a forest at night, sitting next to a clear pool of water. He was praying and appeared to have been crying. Under the water in the pool was the dead body of a very young women with dark hair. She had a pale skin, but the body was clearly blue and lifeless.
Suddenly her eyes opened and she rose up out of the water. John was extremely surprised that his prayer for her resurrection had been answered.
Next they were walking out of the forest through long grass, hand in hand. The sun was breaking through the remaining treetops and as they walked John Wimber rather sheepishly asked her, "At the moment you came back, I could see inside your mind and understand your thoughts. Was it the same for you?" She smiled and replied and said, "At that moment I could understand exactly what was in your mind."
God reminded of this me of this dream last night, and I realised that I had not posted it on our blog. At the time of the dream I did forward it to Costa Mitchell, who is the National Director of the Vineyard in South Africa. I believe that it may have some application for our church, but probably also for the wider Vineyard movement.
