Perpetual Transition? I Hope Not!

The new vista I was referring to is a new position within IHOP. As of Monday, I am officially a part of the ONETHING Ministries team. For those of you reading along on this journey, you will remember that I mentioned having two dreams on 10/31/05. In these dreams, I got two scripture referrencs, Acts 2:42 and Luke 18:16.

One of these dreams was about ONETHING. I dreamt that I was being escorted into an aircraft hangar by a fellow employee. As we approaced the hangar and then stepped inside, I could see a huge airplane being constructed. It was as big or bigger than the AIRBUS. It ws still rough looking, sparks were flying from grinders, wires from inside the fusalage could be seen hanging. There were no winows installed so the holes could be seen where they would go.

The gentleman escorting me said, "I want to introduce you to the project manager", and we ascended the stairs into the aircraft. Right inside the doorway stood Dwayne Roberts, director of ONETHING ministries. I sorta chuckled in my sleep because I recognized him from real life. He said he was glad to have me aboard.

My escort then walked me through the airplane toward the tail. As we walked, again you could see the enormity and unfinished state of the plane. At one point, where the interior was nearing completion, I saw a veneer of wood that was to become the interior panelling. It was made of Tiger Maple Thie picture makes the wood look lighter than in the dream, but you get the idea.
It was magnificient. Any rich person would be jealous of this plane and its beauty.

We continued through the plane and out the tail section back into the hangar and my escort said, "I want to show you your station". We walked over to the back corner of the hangar and he showed me what appeared to be a solvent cleaning station, a place that washes grease and grime off of parts. The pieces on the tabale to be cleaned were very small, most only the size of a finger tip. My escort then told me, "It is VERY important to set the machine to 242. Very important!" I turned the dials on the machine to 242 and woke up.

Once awake, I wrote the dream in my journal and later looked up all the scriptures in the Bible having a 242 referrence. Acts 2:42 spoke loudly. "They continually devoted themselves to the apostles teaching, to fellowship, to the beaking of bread, and to times of prayer." This scripture was one half of why we came here and the verse came to me through a dream of ONETHING.

We recently had a friend over (Tim for those in Alaska who know him) and he provided some great insight into this dream. He said he thought it was awesome how God allowed me to see what He was working on. How even in the small things, it added to the whole picture of a magnificient creation. I was even allowed to see some of what the finished product would become, and that in some ways, the creation was closer to being completed than the beginning stages.

So Rachel and I are focused on two vistas right now and both are incredible. We pray continually that God will equip us and that we will be able to bring this all back to Alaska so that the children and young adults in Alaska can wake up from their sleep and realize the full potential of God in their lives. The days of coloring page Sunday school and pizza gathering youth movements are over. Just because it is dark in Alaska more than it is light is no excuse not to have light burning from within. With the power of prayer and a great battle of spiritual warfare, transformation will truly take place in Alaska.
