i had this dream a few nights ago and i've been reminded of it a few times during the past few days.. so i thought that i should just write it down just in case.
The dream i had was me at church listening to some perrson preach(can't remember who), and the message he preached on was a very simple yet Bible based message on Jesus who came to earth for us. The preacher preached on Jesus's life here on earth, like the miracles He did, the people He influenced and the many number of lives He had changed for the better.. the preacher also talked about Jesus being a friend, a leader, and a helper to all who needed help, and then went on preaching about just how 'real' Jesus was(all the different Bible accounts).
I remember myself sitting in the congregation and listening to the sermon, one that i would have known and heard about many times, but when i heard it again that time i remember that there was a stirring within me. There was something different about what was being preached this time, and i was just so captivated by the message that i was just lost inside it(pretty confusing feeling). The next thing i knew, the message was over and we were doing a closing prayer. Then the preacher did an alter call for what seemed to be for new believers because it was a simple message of the gospel and the life of Jesus. He said something along the lines of "all those who want to know this real Jesus raise your hand..."
Instinctively/Immediately without knowing it my own hand went up. I thought to myself that i already am a believer and have received Christ, why am i still raising up my hands? It all came down to one point, i myself didn't know of the real Jesus that was preached in that sermon.. It's such a weird feeling, to know someone, yet at the same time don't really know them.. That was the feeling that i was getting throughout the whole sermon. It all sounded so familiar, the life of Jesus, but yet at the same time so unfamiliar. I need to know the Real Him.
Was reminded again last night, about one of the sessions at hillsong. Where one of the points was that it's not about the donkey, but about Jesus. It's not about what we do for Him, or how much we do for Him(e.g serving at church), but it's about our relationship with Him that matters. Mustn't lose focus!
Finally got my diary for 2009.. gonna start being more organized and prepared. No more laziness and procrastination!
