"Its Time."
Last night I had one of the most profound dreams I have ever had, and witnessed something that words alone cannot convey, but that I am sure the Holy Spirit can reveal to each heart that reads this and enquires of Him about it. Craig Malz 5/29/09
In the dream I was on the earth and an active part of many conversations all at the same time. They were personal, one-on-one conversations, but there were many things being discussed all at once. Interestingly the multitude of conversations all at the same time did not drown out or distract me from being focused on each person I was talking with and what they were saying. It was not face-to-face conversations mind you, but it felt just like that. Each one was different and had the intimacy that two may have while leaning up against a wall in a quiet part of a room away from all the noise and discussing the issues of life.
In this dream I was the Lord, but didn't really fully realize the implications and impact of it at the time. It was as natural as it was simple, and simple as the personal conversations I often quietly have with good friends.
One particular question I was frequently asked was "when are you coming," I heard myself tell so many the same thing, "Not yet, but just hold on..."
The discussions on various topics continued all at the same time, but I was not distracted in any way by the others. I could be totally focused on each one like they were the only one.
Suddenly while having a conversation with someone who was in a prison, my heart about burst as I heard in the back of my mind "It's Time!" Immediately I interrupted the person who was talking with me, apologized to them, saying "Excuse me, I am very sorry to interrupt you, but its time."
Leaving them in the room my speed accelerated while I flowed effortlessly through the various walls of the prison. Under normal circumstances, flowing through walls might have been cool and interesting, but right now I was as excited as I have ever been in my whole childhood, as my heart leaped with the realization that "its time".the time I had waited for so long. As I was pressing through the outer wall of the prison I noticed a big clock on the wall.15 before midnight!
As I left the prison in the middle of the night, I was very high in the air, the city lights were sprawled out in front of me, I could see people everywhere. I looked down and saw someone I knew, standing on the street corner talking to someone I didn't know.
I called out his name. then I yelled out his name again, and immediately he glanced up and looked right into my eyes without saying a word. I can't begin to describe to you the exuberance of joy that rolled over me the instant he glanced up at me. That moment right there-when he turned and looked up was everything to me. Right as our gaze locked, I called him once more and he effortlessly left the ground and met me all the way up where I was. We were now face to face. Waves of joy kept flooding me as I slowly savored the thought that he indeed heard my voice and responded. I kept replaying the instant he snapped his head up in response to my calling and it thrilled me over and over like it was happening for the first time.
At this point, I realized this was a dream and my intellect and doctrine kicked in and I tried to keep going, hoping to hover over different nations, hoping to call people "from every tribe and tongue." I so wanted to have this incredible feeling all over again with thousands of people over and over however the dream wouldn't let me go, but instead dropped me off in my own bed at 4:53am. I rolled over kept and trying to go back to sleep, but it was useless. Before I could get frustrated that this incredible event was over just as it was starting, I realized that although He is coming for ALL His people, when He comes after ME, he will coming after me! It will feel like it's just Him and I alone! In fact the chorus of a Misty Edwards song was playing the whole time in the dream which I didn't notice until now, in fact it still plays in my heart as I write this, "Where it is You and me alone, God, You and me alone."
In the stillness of that dark hour I pondered what I had just experienced in light of the scriptures I knew. While I was thinking through different aspects of the dream, I could still vividly see the moment when the man on the street looked up and could feel once again the electricity you feel when two people look right into each other's eyes. That moment right there- was amazingly still alive. Other aspects of the dream immediately started to fade, but each time I could easily replay that part and my whole being would once again be literally rocked again by a joy I can't explain. As I tried to lie quietly in bed, I realized that the Lord wanted me to know how excited He would be when I responded to his voice and looked up, locking my gaze into the eyes of the only one who has ever completely and totally loved me to the core. I have thought many times before how I might feel on that day, but this morning, I realized for the first time how incredible He might feel when "it's time." It's interesting in the dream I was told when "It's time," and scripture is clear Jesus does only what the Father tells Him to do and says only what the Father tells Him. All in all, this dream had more impact on me than any other I can remember. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
To anyone who may have wondered whose name I called out, for it was indeed a real friend of mine that I know, if you were somehow wanting to hear the Lord call your name, the fact that you may desire that -is in itself evidence that the real name I called out could have been in fact your own.
To anyone else who doesn't know if you really know the Lord like that, and even fret over whether you would even hear Him if or when He calls because you may have never truly sought the Lord with all your heart . just know - - It's Time..
You have ravished my heart.You have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes.
Song of Sol 4:9
For He is our God, we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice. Ps 95:7
My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me... John 10:27
And He said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man." John 1:51
"Therefore if they say to you, ?Look, He is in the desert!' do not go out; or ?Look, He is in the inner rooms!' do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. Matt 24: 26-27
Today if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts. Heb 4:7
We who are workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says:" at just the right time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Cor 6:1-2
