Once I had a dream that I will never forget it. This dream was greater than any other dream the Lord Jesus has ever revealed unto me. It is my belief that he means for me to accomplish a great thing for his Glory through the revelation of this dream.
The dream began with me flying through deep darkness like that of outer space. As I was flying I could see a beautiful cloud from as far as my eyes could see. This cloud was repose and vast like the ocean that continues beyond the horizion...
The appearance of the cloud was like the colours of the rainbow, with the glory of the Sun shining from within. While flying I felt as lightweight as a feather, I flew through the atmosphere effortlessly, swooping down towards the cloud I streached out my hands to touch it. When I drew my hands back they were dripping with water, so dense was the cloud that one could walk on it futhermore its touch was warm like the Mediterranean sea.
During flight I could see a hole within the cloud swirling around like the top of a tornado. Just as I drew closer to the hole the gravitation pull sucked me into it, I began to spin and fall. At that moment I could see a great angelic host in great detail, their wing span was so grand, while in their hands they carried a long golden trumpet.
I was so afraid at the sight of these beings that I closed my eyes and braced my body. As I was falling I heard a sound that nearly scared the life out of me. It was the loudest blast of wind I have ever heard but had the sound of music. I opened my eyes and I could see the angelic host blowing their golden trumpets, I closed my eyes again, and girded myself for fear of my life.
Then I heard a loud voice sounding like a great multitude of people speaking as one person after the blast of the trumpet. The angels all shouted "HOLINESS TO THE LORD" while touching me with their hands, wiping me from head to toe as I fell, their touch was so gentle.
I came out of that cloud and fell to the ground ever so softly, when I came to my senses I stood up and could no longer fly, I felt like I had been stripped of something, I felt naked and powerless.
I then realize that I was standing before a great arched double door in what seemed like a great hall. The door was ajar, I could hear voices coming from the other side, voices of men arguing. So as I approached the gap in the door which was big enough for a man to pass through easily. I entered the hall and came to the top row of seats to something that resembled a colosseum or judgement hall. The seats were filled with men, and the men resembled those who were devout Jews, and judges and rulers from the ancient Roman days.
There was a man who was chained to a wooden post that was driven into the dusty ground, situated in the centre of the hall. He had been badly beaten and was dripping with blood, the men were accusing him of every kind of sin known to man. They were all passing judgment upon him and the verdict was death by crucifixion.
From where I was standing I could only see the man from behind, I felt compassion for the man and started to cry out in his defence but I could not be heard above those squabbling men. They said to the man accused, 'what do you say in your defense. He then replied to the multitude and said, 'Beware that the Holy Spirit does not come through the back door'.
Then the whole assembly of men cried out with anger towards the man, they shouted blasphemos, crucify him, then they quickly unchained the man and dragged him out the back door. I was screaming 'No No........ as I tried to climb down over the rows of chairs, from the top of that judgement hall/colosseum to stop them.
By the time I had made it to the bottom everyone had exited through the back door, and I was the last one left.
I went through the door and emerged on the other side, I was standing on a dusty road that went up a steep hill, I could see the crowd dragging and beating the man all the way up the hill. They were almost at the top, but I was at the bottom I started to run towards them. Suddenly I was stopped by a group of men, who were saying who will carry his cross, they were arguing among themselves, as none of them were willing to carry his cross. I became impatient with their bickering, and volunteered to carry the cross.
They then put the cross upon my back, and I began to walk up the hill, while carrying the cross, the sun was beating down on me heavily. The cross became so heavy for me to carry that the sweat was now poring down from my forehead. I became so dehydrated at that time I was only half way up the hill, I cried out for help from those men to carry the cross, but they just walked on by, I cried out again, "Help" but the crowd just ignored me and walked on by. I could not bear the burden of the cross any more, and so I collapsed flat on my face. The weight of the cross was now crushing me into the dusty ground, fear came over me because I knew that my next exhale was going to be my last, and I would die under the shear weight of the cross.
Suddenly I heard my name being called, "SHANE!! as I lifted up my head there was a man standing over me, he was dressed in a brown robe and the sun was behind his head. The light was so bright that I could not see his face, but the shadow he cast over me was a momentary relief. He then extended his right hand towards me, I placed my right hand within his. I took my eyes off the man for just a second, when I looked again he was gone, and I was all by myself alone on that dusty road on the steep hill.
So I mustered up the strength and stood upon my feet, and continued to walk up the hill with the cross on my back, when I got to the top, to my surprise I was no longer carrying the cross, and I was the only person to reach the top first.
Before me was an Island that was covered with fresh green grass. There were three wooden crosses on it, one cross in the middle, one cross to the left, and one cross to the right.
The same man who helped me on the steep hill, was standing in front of the middle cross on the grass, he beckoned to me with his hands. I came forward onto the grass, and knelt down before him. After walking on that dusty road on the hill, carrying the cross, to be on the grass was a great alleviation, the man embraced me and said "Do you know why you reached the top of the hill first? I said 'No! He then told me, it is because I was willing to carry his cross.
He proceeded to tell me all about things that I would do, to Glorify him, he told me who I am, and what I will become in his Name, as he was telling me all this revelation, I was beside myself, and could not control my tears of Joy.
He then told me that I now had to leave him and go back down the hill, to preach the gospel to the world. I was crying and said "I want to stay with you" But he said' you have to go back and help others who are lost. So because it was his will, I agreed.
The other people who went up the hill before me, were now coming up behind me, I could hear the voice of the crowd, he then said to me; 'I must now address the people coming!!
He steped pass me off the grass onto the dusty floor, to meet the crowd which surrounded him, they were all rejoicing, he began to address the people. I could barely see him, among the whole crowd, so I turned back, and looked at the crosses. Then I awoke from the dream.
I cried like a baby after dreaming that dream, because I had seen, touch, bared the cross, and spoken to our Lord Jesus Christ. This Revelation was given to me back in 1993 and many many more, which you can read all about in the coming prophetic books the Lord has directed me to write.
It is because of this Revelation that the Spirit of the Lord has directed me to start this ministry, to touch people all over the world, and it is my prayer that the Spirit of God will bring life to the vision and let it speak within it's appropriate time in Jesus name. Amen.
Read Habakkuk Ch2.
God of Joy bless you all. Amen.
