Experience this morning...

[Hephaestus]

No to scare you but, You be careful, could be 'your' future you saw.

This morning I woke up at 7:00 a.m. to my alarm.  I re-set it to wake me up an hour later and when back to sleep.  As I went to sleep I entered dreaming but was aware of the fact that I was dreaming.  While in that state I began to wonder about all the changes and lessons I have gone through in my life over the last few years and what my next lesson was.  Immediately the scene changed and I was looking at myself (in third person perspective) walking out of my church (kingdom hall) when I was younger.  I walked by an older couple who were african american.  Immediately I sensed in the young man (myself) that I wanted to greet the couple but there was an uneasiness or discomfort because 1) they were older and 2) they were african american and 3) apparently they were very poor and 4) because the older man apparently was not completely coherent mentally.  All these characteristics about them made for an environment that I was not completely comfortable or familiar dealing with.  Basically, I was uneasy and even afraid.  So, instead of greeting them, I walked by them.  I immediately realized this was part of my next lesson.  I realized it was now time to begin overcoming all such uneasiness and fear by extending love to people regardless of who they are, what they look like, their mental state, or economic status.  I realized immediately again the truth of Jesus' words when he stated that "there is no fear in love".  I was very happy to have realized my next focus.  This realization seemed to open my energy up somehow and it began flowing through me powerfully.  Then I had a vision....

I was now standing inside a store inside a mall (here in America but not a mall I've ever been to).  The store was located at the very end of one of the mall hallways on the right side.  It seemed to have some clothing and also a glass case with various items in it.  As I was standing in the back looking at stuff two older arabic men walked in dressed in nice business suits.  They walked up to the glass counter and the man behind the counter began pulling out weapons and giving them to the men.  I saw this and immediately knew that these were terrorists and they were going to start killing people.  They picked up their guns and began toward me.  One of them raised a gun at me but he other one kept his gun down non-chalantly as if he expected the other one to kill me with ease.  I quickly ducked behind a clothing rack and saw a chair which I grabbed.  When I came up on the other side I threw the chair at the first man and charged the second man knocking him down as I ran out of the store weaving from left to right so they couldn't get a good aim.  Once out of the store I ran down the mall cooridor screaming, "terrorists! Terrorists! Run run run run run!".  I exited the mall on the opposite side of the building and heard shooting and screaming on the other side.  Eventually, they were killed by police.

This second experience felt completely real and like a prophetic experience rather than a dream.  Please be careful and attentive when shopping at malls.  I have no idea what part of the country it happened or will happen in if it happens at all.  I hope not.
