Dream Messenger


     My name is Yurell, and as of this writing, I am seventy years old.  I am a born-again Christian, and I believe that, if the Lord blesses me with a normal 80-year life span, I will not only see Jesus return for the church, an event that we who have taken Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior call the Rapture, I will be caught up to meet Him in the air, along with millions of other Christians.


          So that you will better understand, I am not a preacher, teacher, pastor, speaker or an evangelist, although I have studied the Bible for most of my life. For the most part, I am just the normal, everyday kind of guy next door with no power within myself other than the authority that has been given to me by the Holy Spirit.

     My first encounter with the Lord that I can remember occurred when I was five years old. Since that night, He has never left me, but has been my constant companion, just as He said He would be. Although from time to time over the course of my life I, like most believers have strayed away from Him, yet never so far that I could not hear His voice calling me back.

     It would be impossible to recount all of the times that the Lord has intervened in my life on my behalf, and all of the blessings that He has given to me, always moving and molding me for His purpose, yet, never making it clear just what He has wanted to do, until one night in January of 2000.

     In 1998, after working for over 30 years, earning around $100,000 a year, I was suddenly unable to work any longer. The unemployment check amounted to only $1,500 per month, and if you have never had a financial wake-up call, try that. Because I was still young and had always made good money, this sudden change caught me totally by surprise, and I was not financially prepared for it. In fact, I was stone cold broke.

     Unable to work, I quickly got into the habit of taking a long walk every morning, ending the walk a couple of blocks away from my apartment at a sidewalk coffee shop. Over the following year, I would find myself spending many hours sitting at one of the sidewalk tables, drinking coffee, and meditating on the Lord.

     I had been on unemployment benefits for only about two weeks, when I received my first un-explainable experience with the Holy Spirit. Like most born-again believers, I have had many experiences with the soft, still voice of the Holy Spirit, but this time, it was not a soft, still voice I heard in my spirit, but an audible voice within my spirit speaking to me. It was an experience that I had not known before, but one that I have encountered many times since that day.

     The experience occurred about 9:00 in the morning. When it began, I was just finishing up my normal two-mile morning walk, and was only about a block from my apartment. All that morning, I had been praying to the Lord, asking him how I was going to make it financially, and what He wanted me to do to better serve Him.

     About a hundred yards from my apartment, the Holy Spirit began to speak. The encounter was short and sweet. He said, "My word will provide for all of your needs."  Not having a clue about what that meant, I nevertheless took Him at His word, and quickly rushed home to tell my daughter, Kimberly.
 
     For the next year, nothing seemed to change much; I continued to receive my unemployment check every month, and my COBRA insurance continued to pay all of my doctor bills. For the past seven years, I had tried in vain to get my DD214 from the military, proving that I had spent a tour of duty in Vietnam, but with no success. According to the military, I did not exist, so not knowing where to turn for help, I just gave up and forgot about it, thinking that I would never be able to receive it. It was at about this time that my son-in-law convinced me to apply for Social Security disability benefits, since I would not be able to work again. After applying for my Social Security benefits, the social worker wasted no time in informing me that, even though I was unable to work, the chances were slim to none that anyone ever gets approved the first time through the system, and that it generally takes one or two appeals and even a court appeal in most cases, before Social Security finally gives in and starts paying.

     This was not good news, and it did not make my day, but there was nothing else that I could do.  Finally giving it all up to the Lord, I went on with my normal life. But this is where the Lord stepped in. On the very day that I received my last unemployment check, I also received a letter from the Social Security office approving me for permanent disability benefits. Also included with the letter was a check for $22,000 of back Social Security benefits. Then it really got good. A week later, right out of the blue, after seven years, I received my DD214 from the military, proving that I had served in Vietnam. Wasting no time, I rushed down to the VA Hospital and applied for VA medical benefits, and was approved for full medical benefits on the spot. What makes this an even more incredible miracle was the fact that my COBRA medical insurance ran out that very same day.  "God is good."

     Although I knew that God had a purpose for my life, He had never made it clear to me just what I was to do, even though He had given me dreams and visions all of my adult life. But, that was all about to change when my daughter Kimberly convinced me to go to a Bible study at a small church in the outskirts of Los Angeles. The woman teaching the Bible study was a prophetess named Lola, a truly blessed woman who, by her own life testimony is one of the strongest witnesses for Christ that I have ever seen. God had truly given this woman a great gift, a gift that she gave away freely.

     We lived about a half an hour away from the church and by the time my daughter and I arrived and went inside, the Bible study was just getting started, and the congregation was still singing.  Finding a couple of empty seats, we sat down and joined in with the others, singing and praising the Lord.  After the singing was over, Lola walked out in front of the group, and glancing out over the congregation, her eyes found mine. For the next few seconds, the room was silent as Lola looked down toward the floor and then up at the ceiling to her right, as if she were listening to a voice that no one else could hear. Finally, her eyes came back to mine and she asked if she could pray for me. A little surprised, not really knowing what to expect, I said yes.

     After a few more moments of silence, she began to speak. "You have the favor of the Lord, and He loves you very much. He has chosen you to carry His words to the world, but not as a pastor, teacher or an evangelist, but as a counselor, a prophet.  He calls you 'counselor, prophet.'  "I will come to you in the night and give you dreams, and I will awake you and give you visions of the last days.  And I will reveal to you mysteries hidden from the beginning. Nowhere can you go that they will not seek you out. And when you are gone, your daughter will pick up your work. Hear the words of the Lord."

     Lola continued prophesying over me for several more minutes, and when she had finished, she said, "Jesus really loves you, I mean really loves you."  Then she said, "The Holy Spirit has never given me a prophecy like this to anyone; you are truly blessed."

     The woman who spoke over me that night had no idea who I was. I had never met her or seen her before in my life, and she had absolutely no way of knowing that God had given me the gift of interpreting dreams when I was five years old or that I had a daughter. Within days, the Holy Spirit began to give me dreams and visions of events that were to soon come to pass.

     Since that night, the Holy Spirit has totally changed my life, and nothing will ever be the same. Yet, even through the changes that I continue to go through I am at peace, but in the begining I was unsure just how my daughter Kimberly would fit into the puzzle. even though she is filled with the Holy Spirit and loves the Lord with all of her heart, I had no idea how it would all come together, and how she would take over the ministry that God was about to give me. That is, until the Lord started to school her, giving her insight, visions, and dreams of the end times. Finally, I was at peace, knowing that if the Lord takes me home, or calls me to an even greater ministry, this ministry will continue in good hands.

     In closing, I will leave you with these words: "Test the spirit, for the words of God will come to pass, but the words of man will fall to the ground, for there is no truth in them."
