FOUR DREAMS ON A SATURDAY NIGHTWritten by Irvin L. Rozier
Saturday(April 2, 2005) night, I had four very vivid dreams. Here they are:1. I dreamed I had preached a woman's funeral and was getting ready to preach another. This one was for Ricky, a resident of nursing home where I preach. He had no wife but had two sisters there. The crowd was gathering at funeral home chapel (I recognized Mr. Pearson, funeral home director) as he brought in Ricky (He is one I wrote story Ricky Sings a Song He Did Not Know, posted elsewhere on this forum). Ricky was on a stretcher, and not in a coffin. Suddenly, he sat up and began to sing. I was shouting "Praise Lord!" and everyone was amazed and rejoicing because Ricky came back from dead. 2. I went to my family cemetery where folks were gathered to clean up. As I opened double chain link fence gates, I looked down and saw some concrete. I got a shovel and removed dirt. I uncovered two grave slabs (they were only covered by about two inches of dirt) at gate entrance. On one was inscription, John Milton Winn, (my mother's maiden name was Winn). The other grave was covered by a three hinged door, and as it was opened, I could see body of a 60 year old woman through clear glass that was coffin lid. She looked serene, was wearing glasses, and had on a beautiful blue dress. Her hands were folded over her stomach, and I asked who she was. Someone nearby said, "That was one of John Winn's daughters". Nearby these graves, we uncovered a cabinet of wood about six feet tall, and four feet long. On it were displays of Indian artifacts, miniature horses of various colors, arrows with razor sharp edges, feathers, and necklaces and beads. The cabinet had a built in musical device; I wound it up and it began to play beautiful gospel music. The folks that were cleaning cemetery began to sing and praise Jesus.
| | THE CAR THAT GOD USEDWritten by Irvin L. Rozier
Ecclesiastes 3.1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven."I had an old Pontiac that Lord gave me in answer to prayer. He moved on someone to buy it for me as I was walking at that period of my journey with Lord. I was glad to get that old car and old man who sold it to us was glad to get rid of it. One thousand dollars let me drive it away. Shortly, motor went bad and had to be replaced. This gave me an opportunity to talk to a man about his eternal destination (witnessing it's called). Well, after motor was fixed, transmission went bad. I had a mechanic that I grew up with fix it for $300. There again, I was moved on by Spirit to witness to this man. You see, his Mama had been praying for him for years, asking Lord to send someone by to talk to her son about Jesus. I was someone, and Lord had arranged for my transmission to quit so door would be open. About 28 days after he fixed transmission, it went out again. I was in town and car rolled to a spot in front of a house by railroad tracks. I walked on home (about two miles) and called mechanic who had repaired transmission. I relayed my problem, and he said, "Okay, I'll get tow truck and go get it. Where is it located?" I told him where it was (I had got address number of house before I left car). I heard a short pause and then he said, "I live in that house." I had no idea he lived there; I thought he lived by his shop which was about three miles away. Well, he went to get car and called me after he had fixed it. He said, "There will be no charge as your 30 days warranty is in effect. By way, I can't believe where car stopped." I replied, "The Lord works in wonderful ways, his wonders to perform." A few months later, I took my daughter, Joy, to Hinesville to pick up a friend she had met while going to school there. On way back, I heard a thunk, looked in my rearview mirror and saw one of my tires rolling on down highway. I pulled over on shoulder of road, and told girls to sit there while I inspected damage. All lug nuts had come loose which caused tire to roll away. I went looking for tire but never found it. Earlier, when I had looked in my rearview mirror, I saw a car stop. I guess they picked up tire. They must have needed it worse than I did.
