No Babysitting Today

I had a dream that my client messaged me that she was sick and had to cancel babysitting today. Then I woke up and realized it was just a dream. About an hour or so later, she texted me to cancel babysitting for today because she was indeed sick...

Prophecy from Pastor Tim Minahan

Anna, some of the things that you are doing now does not describe who God intended you to be which is fine because this is only for a season. The time will come when you will be doing great things, so now is the time to prepare for that.

You need to prepare -- whether that means spiritually, or literally, I'm not sure. But there will be a lot to prepare, more than you thought. And what you will achieve is even greater than you can ever imagine. 

You will be going places.

Aboriginal Firemen

Saw an aboriginal fireman. And I felt that God is telling me that this is one of the occupations they will really prosper in, possibly because of their protective nature. It's something to do with their redemptive gift -- to protect the land and the people living on it -- they're the gatekeepers.

Raf and Mark

A four an a half hour meeting with Raf.

His associate pastor, Mark, gave me a prophecy: that I would have an encounter with Jesus just like Mom had hers. And she will have another one. He was in tears when he shared that.

Dreams again - or am I awake?

Revival is about to begin in South Australia, but it will begin in regional areas. God is calling those in the city to go to these regional areas and to bring the revival back to Adelaide.

I saw children worshipping in groups, filled with the spirit, praying in tongues, hands raised, singing in the spirit, in various strategic places in regional South Australia. They are like wattles - they seem innocent and insignificant - but when gathered in a cluster, they have the power to represent Australia.

I have been called to organize these worship sessions. If you want to be a part, let me know.

Children Authors

I dreamt that the children in MV wrote books, about 5 of the kids wrote a number of books. And I had the numbers of how many books I was ordering for each of the books. And they were 3 digit numbers. I showed them to Mom and she said, "Why order so little? Order millions."

I said, "What? Millions?"

She said, "Yes, then our cost for each book is much less." 

"Who is going to buy all of them? What are we going to do with the stock if nobody buys them?" And I tried to explain but then I woke up.

Heaven

I wrote a poem when I was about sixteen but can't remember the end of it, so I recreated the last two lines to the best of my memory:

The air is so sweet

The ground is so soft

And the music of heaven is ringing in my head

The birds are singing

The bells are ringing

And I can't bear to think I'm not dead

Heaven is like a ship on the sea

Beyond the shores of tomorrow

The simplest meaning of life

Without sorrow

Now the dead shall live again

And we shall see a transformed nation

The beauty of heaven is revealed

in the rising of a new generation

Reoccuring Dreams: Church Camps

I've been having reoccuring dreams again. This time, about Church Camps. 

Reoccuring Dreams usually means that God is speaking something to me. They can happen daily in a row or over a period of a couple of days or weeks. But usually across a season and never come back again. I wonder what God is trying to say this time. Does He want me to organize a camp?

The First Dream: Youth Camp

I dreamt that there was a camp in my house. I think it's the one in Australia. The house was newly renovated, and my kids were so excited -- choosing their rooms. There were like thirteen rooms. My youngest two ended up choosing two mini rooms (Yes, small rooms that only fit a bed!) right across from each other somewhere along the hallway just outside a big room. 

The floor was like large polished light brown square stone tiles -- even the wall. It was all so new and clean and empty.

Then the youth arrived. Teenage girls with their bags. They were struggling to get them up the stairs. So many stairs going in various different directions. It is safe to say I could get lost. Nonetheless, we were all excited and there was an atmosphere of wonder and excitement around.

The camp was to be fifty-five days. No kidding. I think these young people just flew in from Malaysia and had never been to Australia before.

And then I woke up.

The Second Dream: Convention

This time, I only remember the end of it where we were in a rented hotel. And again, so many floors and so many rooms as usual. But this time, I was much younger and reliant on my elder sister -- I had a lot of questions. She was the Coordinator. She organized all this, and so, was very busy and always had a bunch of people following her -- her helpers. I tried to follow, keeping up with the group I was in. And I saw the toys -- a good many toys that was borrowed for the children. And I recognized them in the dream -- they were mine in the dream, but not in real life. I remember thinking to myself, "Oh no, they organized them wrongly -- they should be organized according to alphabetical order. The first container is only for toys starting with, 'A'. Now, I have to go back to reorganize them all myself and it's going to take ages. Should I do it now? Should I tell them they did it wrongly? What if they don't believe that all these are my toys?" They must have borrowed them from me just for the camp -- typical of my sister and I when it came to church -- always using our own stuff.  I remember staring at them all because they were just so many toys, and wonder, 'My, I have so many toys? Was it really this many?'

I remember looking for her, hoping to see her. Somewhere at the end of the dream, I did. She was busy, of course, with a bunch of people, coming down the stairs. I had a question but they were busy talking about urgent matters, as usual. And then I heard about what they were chatting about: someone in Malacca, where the camp was hosted, asked about whether all of us could gather somewhere nearby to eat, 'after the beach'. I was glad we were going to the beach and wondered where that special eating place was. "No" was the answer, followed by a good reason, I'm sure. Well, I don't think changing plans at the last minute is a good idea either, especially with this amount of people. There were families, young people, young adults, kids, youth. Easy more than a hundred people, usually.

And there it was, finally, at the end of the dream -- the convention hall. Huge. Blue carpets and walls and ceiling. Tons of blue banquet chairs. Super high ceiling. Truly the largest I've ever seen as far as convention halls are concerned. Could have easily fit a thousand. Hotel workers were dragging some interesting looking room dividers around to navigate the people who would later fill the hall. 

And then I woke up. And I remembered how much I missed my sis.

Similarities

In both dreams, I think it was the beginning of a camp. Both had teens in them: one was a youth camp for girls, and the other, convention. Both held in pretty large facilities -- which is just about impossible for where we are as a church today -- very far fetched. Both times, it was definitely my church and no other. And both times, I was personally involved somehow -- it was either my house or my stuff -- that was used. And both times, I was clearly excited. And finally, in both times, I was in awe of how much I had -- be it the amount of rooms or the amount of toys which were used for the camp. Still unsure if the latter was a good thing, but in the camp it was. Apparently, we had that many children.

Found anymore similarities? Let me know in the comments below.

When God speaks through a dream

Just woke up from a dream. I'm my dream, a newcomer in church (who became a Christian and converted to Islam later) converted back to Christianity and started praying to Jesus in public. And I was pleasantly surprised. So I asked her, in front of my non-Christian friends, whether it was because she heard God speak to her also.

And I can't remember what she said but suddenly, I was talking to my mother in law instead, who surprised me by telling me that she has been learning about Internet stuff (she's an old timer and not computer literate. But she was talking about some serious technical gibberish.)

And then she says, "Anna, you need to do something for the Children -- look into viral commission."

"Viral commission?! What is that? I've never even heard it before. What's viral commission? What's viral commission?!" I was dumbfounded.

And then I woke up. 

Yes, I did what any person in their right mind would -- I quickly Googled it, afraid I would forget what she said. Apparently, it's an actual thing.

Here's what I copy pasted from Google AI:

"Viral commission" typically refers to the earnings an affiliate or influencer receives from promoting a product or service, often through a unique referral link, that leads to a successful purchase or action. It's closely tied to affiliate marketing and can involve various payment models like per-click or per-action, with the goal of driving traffic and brand recognition. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Affiliate Marketing:

In this model, a brand partners with individuals (affiliates, influencers, etc.) to promote their products/services. 

Commission Structure:

Affiliates earn a commission (a percentage of the sale or a fixed amount) when a customer makes a purchase through their unique referral link. 

Viral Aspect:

The "viral" aspect implies the affiliate's content or promotion is designed to be shared widely, potentially reaching a large audience and generating significant sales and commissions. 

Payment Models:

Brands might offer different commission structures, such as:

Pay-per-click: Affiliates earn for each click on their referral link. 

Pay-per-action: Affiliates earn when a specific action is completed (e.g., form submission, lead generation). 

Pay-per-sale: Affiliates earn a percentage of the sale amount when a purchase is made. 

TikTok For Business:

This platform offers an affiliate program where partners can earn commissions by driving new users to use TikTok for Business, according to TikTok's affiliate program page. 

Example:

An affiliate might promote a product on TikTok using a unique link. If users click the link and make a purchase, the affiliate earns a commission. 

Viral Content Design:

This company's affiliate program has a $50 minimum payout threshold, with commissions paid out on the first business day of each month. Purchases made with discounts exceeding 30% are not eligible for commission, and self-purchases are also excluded.

Apostolic Center

It's taken us a long time to understand what dad really means by Apostolic Center. It was not till a few days ago when he said that Latter Rain and the Apostolic Center are two separate entities. That's when I realized I have no idea what he meant.

He is involved in three ministries: Family Journey, the Apostolic Center and Latter Rain. Those from Family Journey and Latter Rain came join the Apostolic Center. Even those from other ministries, from other countries can join the Apostolic Center. He has sons and daughters from all over.

I realized that I have been having a heart for Latter Rain, but not the Apostolic Center. I wanted to start a church, to reach out and to set up a home base. I didn't see the Apostolic Center as a base but I saw it as a one stop center. I didn't see it as a home. I saw Latter Rain as a home, a family -- people of the same heart and same mind; a place where everyone is welcomed -- an outreach and a place of healing.

But he saw the Apostolic Center as his family -- his sons and daughters, those aligned with him. Those involved in various positions, able to impact nations. The Family Journey, tho it is a family, do not all see him as a father. Only a select few from there are truly aligned with him. Latter Rain, tho founded by him, is an open door to all kinds of people, including those who don't know Christ yet - even though it is a family, it runs as a church -- we bring new people in all the time.

But the Apostolic Center is a very closed door family. It's by invitation only, core group only. It's nothing like a Bible School. A Bible School would be open to public. This is more like the White House - a command center and a CIA base, where very few people are allowed to come to.

I had a dream last night, thank God. What a relief. It seemed to be some sort of gathering at the Apostolic Center. It was like a conference but the difference was that everyone that came seemed to take him as their spiritual father. They know him personally -- and they were from various organizations and various countries. There was a large group from the Philippines. I think they were easily twenty or more of them. A lot of people from Australia, but different parts of Australia. And a good lot from South Australia but from different organizations. A very senior guy from Egypt, probably a hundred years old was there.

And he had a chance to speak his heart over many sessions over the next few days. And they had a chance to get to know each other and make valuable connections.

There were various one-storey buildings. They were filled during the conference. I don't know where they stayed but I distinctly remember the main rooms, where we gathered. It seemed the place was too small. 

There was an art room where artists like me gathered to share ideas and learn from each other and to make connections and encourage each other. Canvases and painting equipment. I had mine but mine was a bit different. I made a couple of friends.

There were manicured gardens, glass doors, glass walls in white rectangle buildings that were connected to each other in a weird angle. There were toilets -- I remember that because I had to use one. And there was a large tree -- probably a hundred years old as well but those people didn't seem to think it was a hundred years old -- I sure did. 

Many courtyards and gardens. Many people walking all over the place. I was talking to people from all over the world whom I've never met before. That's what I remember.
