The Dream

I need to explain some things about where the dream took place and a little about me.

My grandmother(Meme) lives in North Arkansas, in the mountains.  Her house sets on the side of a mountain and she has a sundeck in the back that extends about 20’ above ground.  From the sundeck in the winter time you can see mountains about 5 miles away. She has sliding glass doors in both her kitchen and Master bedroom. There are also two standard size windows in her room where from one of them, you can see the ground right below the sundeck.

I had a daughter when I was 19.  I tried off and on for 12 years to have another child but couldn’t.  I have 4 siblings who each have 3 children so I really couldn’t understand how I couldn’t have anymore after coming out of such a “fertile family!”

I was attending church regularly and decided to fast and pray. Not for a child but because it was encouraged and I wanted to try it.  On the third day I was sitting in the recliner watching Benny Hinn on TV. Sometimes at the end of his messages he would point out people that he sees and give them a word.  I didn’t really to believe in this, not until this day.  During my fast, the first day was just a normal day but the second one I started getting visions of people and places!  I was awake walking through the house and could see the back of a woman’s head.  It was like I was sitting in the back of an SUV watching her drive in the dark.  I felt it in my heart to pray for her, so I did.  On into the day I could see from a distance, a mobile home with a truck and a boat parked out front.  I felt to pray for whomever lived there, so I did.  So, after this happened to me it was easier to believe it when Benny said things like, “you in the red shirt with back problems, you are healed”, or you woman with emphysema, God has heard your prayers.”  So here I am sitting in my chair listening to him point people out.  I don’t know why it came up in my mind, can’t explain it but I just laid my head back and asked God, “why can’t I have another child?”  I heard Benny Hinn say, “Child, God has healed your womb.”  I looked up at the TV and of course I don’t believe he’s speaking of me!  He then says, “you will feel a warmth come over you so that you will know that it’s for you.”  I felt it! I started shaking and crying and felt that warmth!  I called my mom to tell her what happened and you could tell she didn’t believe me, might have even thought I was crazy!  It’s ok, I knew what God had done, even if it was over the TV, no one was going to believe me!

I walked around all the time asking, “when God?”  I would go to bed at night and ask Him, “when?”  One night I “woke up” and I was standing in Meme’s bedroom.  The first thing I noticed was how much I could see from the sundeck, I think it was the whole world!  It was like the sundeck was farther up in the sky.  There were children lined up against the rail singing, “Oh come all ye Faithful” and walking toward the right.  I didn’t recognize any of the children but Meme’s had 14 new additions since the dream. I walked over to the door and looked out to find that the children were jumping off the right side of the sundeck.  I ran quickly to the window to see that their bodies laid on the ground! I was yelling at the women in the room with me that our children were jumping! They wouldn’t listen to me, they just stared at me.  I ran back to the door and there was only one child still out there and about to jump.  I yelled, “Stop! What are you doing?”  The little boy was about 6 or 7 years old and he turned around and said, “Look mama, see that angel? We are jumping to that angel, see her mama?  Then he takes a giant leap and his body went to the ground.  I didn’t see the angel he was pointing out but he jumped to where he said she was. I knew this little boy in my dream.  He had dark brown hair, blue eyes and was small in size.  I woke up from my dream and paced the floors.  I prayed for an understanding, well.. I really kept asking God if it was Him that caused me to dream this!  I would try to convince myself that this was a stupid horrible dream that somehow my mind came up with.. But I couldn’t.  It was so real and how could I possibly put all this together by myself in my mind?  I waited until daybreak and started calling family members to tell them about my dream.  I was looking for answers!  I called my mom first, then my christian sister.  I told my aunt and my husband and even Meme about it.  Meme was just mad and didn’t care to hear about it because of the children’s bodies on the ground, I can understand that.  Mom kept asking me who the little boy was?  My sister believed me more than any and said to pray for an interpretation.  This was March of 2003.

My husband and I moved to another town for a new job.  May of 2004, my sister called me and I mentioned that I was two weeks late and that I thought my body was messed up.  She told me to go buy a pregnancy test and I laughed at her and told her I wasn’t pregnant.  It had been over a year since that dream and I had gotten away from church, reading and didn’t think about that dream anymore.  She asked to talk to my husband and convinced him to go buy me a test, so he did.  I humored them both and did what I was suppose to do and set the stick on the bathroom counter and said it’s all yours.  He waited in the bathroom until the quick response showed positive and ran out yelling that I was pregnant.  I think I was in shock until the ultrasound! I just couldn’t believe it.  20 weeks came and it was time to see if we could tell the sex of the baby.  Everyone’s response was the same, “I bet it’s a boy!”  Hmmm… ya think now you will believe me?  I was so excited that I would have a son, but to see all these people that knew about my dream start believing was just amazing!! 

February 1, 2005,   I (35) gave birth to Jacob William Branscum.  A beautiful healthy baby boy.   My 16 year old daughter stayed in the delivery room with me. I think she got scared but that was my plan!  I gave her consequences and wasn’t one that said, “because I said so.”  That never worked on me at her age.  Anyway, a blessing within a blessing because it worked!

As you can see from Jacob’s birth date he will be 7 years old this February.  He has dark brown hair, blue eyes and not very small in size.  Maybe I failed and let my son eat more than he was suppose to!  It sure looks to be that way. L

Yall, Not everyone gets these wonderful experiences from God and yet I still backslid.  You would have to know certain situations I went through but still it’s no excuse! I am in a place where I feel like I have to fix things before I can read the Word with peace in my heart, or pray a prayer that can be answered.  I’m frustrated and now I am facing a vision from God and don’t know what it means!  A lot of things have went through my mind and I have prayed that His protection be over my son.  I wonder if it means the children will go first, but the Bible doesn’t say that! Ok, there it is.. Believe me or not, it’s the truth!  Thanks for reading and if anyone can feel the Holy Spirit share with them an interpretation or a message, I am open!
