THE DREAM
At the age of 16 years old in the year 1997 I went to bed one night and I had this dream.
I found myself at my mom's house with my mom, dad, and sister. Suddenly we saw through the windows, these military/law enforcement type vehicles pulling up next to my mom's house. Many soldiers/officers got out of the different vehicles and began going door to door around my mom's small town of Hallsville Ohio. The soldiers/officers were telling all of us to come out of our houses.
My family and I along with a few of our neighbors were taken to my mom's barn. We were all told to "bow down and pledge allegiance to this flag" The flag was NOT the flag of the United States Of America. The flag was unlike any flag I have seen before. The soldiers/officers told us all that if we did not bow and pledge allegiance to this new flag we would be killed.
All the neighbors who were with me and my family bowed down when told to. But my parents and sister did not, however when they told us to bow, I tripped and fell looking as if I had bowed. The soldiers/officers shot my parents and my sister to death. The soldiers/officers then patted me on the back congratulating me for "being one of them"
I was in shock seeing my family lying on the floor dead. I knew if I spoke up and refused to bow and pledge allegiance to this flag i would share the same fate, but how could I ever stand to live in a world like this that I was facing. I then made a decision and spoke up to one of the soldiers/officers and said, "I didn't bow' the soldier/officer look at me and said "WHAT!?" I again said, "I didn't bow and I never will." The soldier/officer then said to me "is that your final decision?" I said "Yes"
The Soldier/Officer took out his gun and pressed the gun to my head and I could feel the gun pushing into my temple.
Suddenly I was pulled out of my body and found myself standing across the barn. I watched as the soldier/officer shot me, I saw my body fall, and I saw them lay my body on top of my parents bodies
Then Everything went black! That was when I heard the voice of Jesus Christ speak to me, he said, "Miranda, Do Not Be Afraid, this is not real. This was a dream to test your faith. I had to know how far your faith could be tested." It was at this point I really woke up and I was not afraid but was at total peace and could feel the Holy spirit with me in my bedroom.

Ever since God showed me that dream now 23 years ago, I have always felt that this dream would come true. And sadly it has begun to... Below are screen shots and links to just 2 articles I have seen in the past few days that proves what I have always felt is coming true
The Uprising that is happening in America right now has turned so extreme, and I know we are only at the beginning of what they want to do to our country.
We are seeing a state flag being removed/changed the state of Rhode island considering a name change, demands for our national anthem to be changed, and once those in power bow to the demands of these extremist, they will not stop demanding flags to be removed or changed until they can remove/change every flag in our country especially our national flag.
We are seeing these extremists saying that it is wrong and "racists" to celebrate the birthday of our nation The 4th of July and demonizing Mount Rushmore as well as demanding our national anthem be done away with and changed. As well as burning, vandalizing, and destroying monuments and statues that represent the history of our country.
I see the dream i had in 1997 beginning to play out before my very eyes and it now feels I am trapped within the dreams and visions the Lord has shown me to prepare me over the years and there is no waking up from them to escape now.
But as I watch all these events now play out daily, I am reminded of the words Jesus Spoke to me in that dream that caused all fear, and doubt to leave me. "DO NOT BE AFRAID"
I pray for those who read this, that You remember the words Jesus spoke as well and do not fear and hold tight to the word of God and His promises. We all will be tested of our faith in some way. Some not as extreme as what I have been shown that I may face in the future. But we all will have our feet put to the fire and be tested to see if the flames the world throws at us to consume us, or if we will allow Jesus to consume what the world throws at us, and we rest in Him.
When I think about this dream, I also think about the 3 Hebrew children who were thrown into the fiery furnace because they would not bow and worship the image the King had set up
Daniel Chapter 3 verses 16-18
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us[c] from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”
the part that always stuck out to me in these verses is the part where they say to the king that even if the God they serve does NOT deliver them, they will still NOT worship the image. But as Christians we must remember that we are winners either way whether we go or whether we stay...as the old southern gospel song says. We must serve God today knowing that we may NOT be saved from death for refusing to bow to the demands of this world, but remember that they can only kill our bodies, they cannot kill our souls unless we choose to turn away from God and denounce him to save this earthly body that will not last.
I know I was born for this time and Jesus Christ himself has prepared me to walk this road that he has laid before me, and to share the gospel and to speak the words he calls me to speak to bring hope and light in this darkness that is closing in on us.
Pray for me that I will continue to have strength to fight and boldness to speak when Christ calls me to until I finish my race on this earth and He calls me home to heaven.
