Traffic Signal Incident
I was at a traffic signal the other day crossing a road and many were waiting with me as the signal was red. A girl with her mom stood beside me. As the signal turned green, people started walking across the road. I too started walking, looking back because the girl who stood beside me was tugging at her mother's hand and telling her that the signal had become green, but the mother just stood there and seemed to be thinking about something else.
The girl then started shouting and finally her mother seem to come out of her thoughts, but then the signal had already turned red.
God spoke to me through this as I walked on. On many occasions in our life God shows us the green signal to go ahead with our projects or plans that we place before him, but we ignore/ delay them and finally we are not able to acheive the desired results.

3 Confirmations
Recently I had to appear for a very tough interview for getting a new medical license in a gulf country. One night as I prayed and slept, the Lord showed me that the examiner was stamping my papers with an 'ok' seal.
I knew that the Lord was hinting that though the interview would be tough, I would get through.
A few days later, a friend of mine prayed about the same matter and the Lord showed him through a vision that I would pass the interview.
A couple of days later another friend of mine told me that the Lord had shown him in a dream that there would be no problems in passing the exam.
Finally on the night before the exam, the Lord showed me a dream again that I would return to the same place that I had attended the interview to begin the job.
The interview itself was quite tough, lasting for 40 mins. but God helped me and his promises were fulfilled.
God is faithful.

The dreams that I dream-36- Enemies live at peace
Once when we lived in a certain place, there was a person living in another house close by. Outwardly he was very friendly, but the Lord showed me his true nature one night in a dream.
In the dream, this person comes to visit me and he talks with me for a while; then when I go into another room to get something, he takes hold of our pet dog and strangles it, laughing slyly all the while. That was all that the Lord showed me. It was a message from the Lord to beware of him because he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
I prayed about the matter that the Lord may not allow him to do any harm to us. Since he was in close proximity to us and dealt always with us, there seemed no way to avoid him. I kept praying about the matter that the Lord may provide an proper solution to this problem.
Then another night, as I slept, the Lord showed me another dream. In the dream, I see this person on the path leading to his house and I tell him that God is going to open a way for him to go abroad. As soon as I say this, his attitude changes and he is overjoyed and does a jig. That was all I saw.
A couple of days later, I saw him in the same spot as I saw in the dream. I told him what I had told him in the dream. He was very happy and went away merrily. From that day his attitude towards us changed. He started being genuinely helpful and respected me. Indirectly, through his wife, he asked for our prayers and was a changed man altogether.
I just think about the wonderful things that our Lord can achieve through small things. A few right words to this man changed his attitude towards us. Praise the Lord.
The Bible also says,
“When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him.”(Proverbs 16:7)

The dreams that I dream-35- Faith Challenge
Some time back, I saw a dream where I have to get past a huge door that is locked. I have a big suitcase in my hand and I am trying hard to find a way to get through the door to the other side. Finally I find an opening at the top of the door and with great difficulty I squeeze myself through the opening. Once on the other side, I heave a sigh of relief, but as I look around, I see that I could have just walked around the door to the other side. I had totally missed that aspect in my struggle to reach the other side.
Passing through a financial crisis those days made me struggle hard to find ways to meet the urgent needs. Most of these were efforts on my part without putting my faith in action. Here the Lord was showing me that there is another way to get past these hurdles and that is putting my faith into action by praying and claiming the promises of God that He has given to us in His Word. There may be a period of waiting too in this case.
Often our faith falters when we land in trying situations. We pray and there is no immediate answer and so we resort to the plans that our minds conceive immediately instead of waiting on the Lord. Sometimes we cannot stand up to the faith-challenge. Of course, we may get through the crisis, only to find that there could have been an easier way.

The dreams that I dream- 34- X-ray Diagnosis
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 were praying about the matter regularly, but a healing didn’t come soon. Then one night the Lord showed me a dream. In the dream, I am examining my grandmother’s x-ray and this x-ray is different from the x-ray taken in the hospital. While examining the x-ray, certain parts of the lungs are focused upon and I can clearly visualize worms in the lungs. That was all I saw in the dream.
When I woke up, I realized that I had missed the real cause of the cough. The Lord here was showing that the cough was “allergic” because of larvae of worms that had migrated to the lung because of worm infestation. Mild ascariasis (round worm infection) with only a few parasites in the body may cause no symptoms. Symptoms occur with moderate or heavy infestations, sometimes progressing as the parasite migrates through the body. After a person ingest ascaris eggs, they hatch in the intestine and the larvae migrate into the lungs causing persistent cough, shortness of breath and wheezing.
Once I knew the diagnosis (and this couldn’t be wrong because it was the Lord himself who had shown it), treating her was easy and within a few days, my grandmother was perfectly healed.
To the question, “Is there a better physician than the Creator himself?” The answer is No, and that’s final. Hope you agree.
