AN ANSWER COMES AND A DEATH FORETOLD IN A DREAMWritten by Irvin L. Rozier
Matthew 1 verse 20 "But while he thought on these things, behold, angel of Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of Holy Ghost."Joseph listened to angel of Lord, believed his dream was from God, and obeyed instructions.

I didn't know off hand and it was late so I told him I would look scripture up in morning. I went to sleep and began dreaming. In this dream, a large Bible was opened to scripture Isaiah 14 verse 12. I awoke from my sleep (it was about 2 AM), turned on my bedside lamp, picked up my Bible from table, and read scripture. It reads "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of morning! how art thou cut down in ground, which didst weaken nations!" God showed me this in a dream!

I preached on prayer and specifically mentioned how God said that Elijah was a man subject to like passions as us. Yet, Elijah believed that God controlled everything on this earth and he could and would send rain if we asked him. I asked question, "Does everyone here believe in prayer? Raise your hand if you do." Every
