The other day I was at church. Donna, a prophetess spoke to me. She spoke about a lot of things that are in me; things that I could not myself express. For example, I feel that people do not listen to me. Donna was wise to see that. She said that I should write it down. I felt sad though,
because my fingers don’t work. I hope to produce a book on my life, but it is hard. I was grateful to Donna; mesmerized by her, because it seemed like she knew how I felt. Donna knew my frustration. This was kind of like God. He knows everything about us….and knows my frustration.
That night, the lord gave me a dream. At 2am I started dreaming, and resolved that I should put it down, for future generations. I dreamt that President Kennedy was getting old. He had 4 sons, and he felt that he was dying. He said to his boys: “I bought parcels of vacant land when I was in my prime. Many acres with trees.” Now I want to divide it among you.
So the boys knew that their father was dying, and that he wanted to pass on his legacy. They accepted the gift. The father gave them the land, and the boys divided it up among themselves. The eldest took control and divided it into 4, among them. The other three took the land, but were uncertain what to do with it. The eldest son was getting older too, and asked me what he should do with the land. I was the eldest son’s wife and partner, so had great influence over him, and—because he was the president’s son—over the country.
I told him that I am in my 70’s and don’t need the money. We should use the land to build a temple for the Holy God Almighty. Let’s build a place where people can visit the true and living God. My husband agreed with me and told me to do it. I replied that I would have to pray and fast and see what God wants me to do. I said “oh God’ we have the land, but we do not need it, so we need to give it back to you, to use for your glory.”
The Lord showed me that he wanted me to build a temple with that land; not to build a commercial building, but a building dedicated to the Lord. He wanted me to build a church with steeples like teardrops, with room for people to worship; with floor upon floor, layer upon layer like a cake.
The next problem was finding enough money to build the church. We did not have enough money to develop the raw land. So I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord said trust in me, and work with me. I came up with the idea of writing to all the priests in the area, and asking for donations!
These strategies in my dream seemed to come from my past experience as a real estate broker. I had great experience, over the course of many years, in developing land.
I feel that the Lord was telling me to use my past experiences, for his Glory. Even though I feel frustrated that my fingers hurt, and am not heard; I have faith, and am moving ahead. Today, I am writing a book that uses all the experiences of my life to tell lessons that future generations will learn from. Today, I am creating a website, with blog articles and pieces of knowledge that I can impart. Three times each week, I host a prayer call on
Zoom, so that whoever needs it, can come, and pray for the ailments of our world. These are the ways that I build my ‘church,’ with whatever resources I have available. This experience has taught me that what people do every day does not go to waste. God will use our careers, and experiences, in our older days.
As the scripture says: Romans 8:28 –
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.”
