About three months ago I had a dream where I heard the Holy Spirit say, “Watch for February the 12th.”
I wrote it on my calendar, and thought of it often. I told my wife Sherry and other people, “Something is going to happen on February twelfth.” I had no clue what February twelfth would bring or why God had spoke that date to me. I didn’t know if something would happen in the world, the church or me. I just knew God had given me that word.
As I’ve gotten older my eyes have gotten weaker. I needed glasses for help in seeing long distance (slightly blurry) but not real bad. I could actually drive or do many things without needing glasses, but for cautions sake used them anyway.
But the main problem was seeing up close for reading. I first needed reading glasses about 15 years ago and it got progressively worse and I needed stronger and stronger reading glasses as the years passed. Eventually I got bifocals for distance and close up for reading. The close up problem irritated me to no end, because one of my great joys is reading and studying. In addition, when preaching I would have to put on and take off my glasses over and over to refer to a scripture or glance at my notes.
So February twelfth comes (Saturday) and it turns out seemingly like any other day. The next day (Sunday) I was scheduled to minister at Faith Assembly of God in Warfordsburg, PA, so I was preparing for that service most of the day. When Sherry came home later that day she said, “Well, did anything happen today? It’s the twelfth.”
I said, “No, but the day is not over until I wake up on the thirteenth.”
The next morning I awoke about 6:20, quietly got out of bed (not wanting to wake Sherry) and suddenly realized I had a dream about Heidi Baker. In the dream she was teaching me one on one about certain truths in the bible. When I awoke, I was excited and thrilled about what she said in the dream. I grabbed my bible and went into another room, turned on the light and started looking at certain scriptures she had pointed out to me. I was taking notes, etc. Afterward, I thought, I’ll go back to bed and try to catch a few extra moments of sleep before we both get up. As I was laying down, suddenly it hit me. I was reading my bible and taking notes WITHOUT MY GLASSES. That is impossible I thought! I jumped out of bed and opened my bible again. I could read it easily without glasses. I went to the spice cabinet and read the smallest print I could find. I was looking at everything I could find to read, magazines, newspapers, etc. I was healed of farsightedness. Ironically in the distance I still see slightly blurry, but up close I can see clear as a bell! Praise God! Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy. It was prophesied to me something would happen on the twelfth and it happened. Healing.
May the Lord receive all the glory.
