Stories to Inspire
Last November, I showed up in someone’s dream that I had never met before which led to a very tender God-encounter a couple evenings later. Well, I told this story during a recent Zoom meeting… and in this story, we see the grace to appear in someone else’s dream, is ‘transferred’ to a lady in Northern Russia. Fun! That’s the power of a testimony! Thank you, God!!!
For more on this Zoom event, you may like to read my previous post here.

Really cool God-story from David & Zhenya (pastors of a church in Northern Russia)
Healed in a dream
“One of the ladies in our church showed up in an unbeliever’s dream, prayed for him and he was healed!”
“Let me start from the beginning. Our good friend Mark Hendrickson preached an inspiring message to our church in Russia over Zoom a few weeks ago. He talked about stepping out of the box of our normal prayer life and moving into some new unexplored realms of prayer. Our church loved his message and immediately put it into practice.”
“One day Tanya was watching a TV show about dangerous vocations. The episode highlighted electricians. She found herself strangely moved to pray for those in this trade.”
“Tanya is a massage therapist and typically works with children only. So, when she received a phone call from a gentleman whom she’d never met, asking for a massage, her initial response was, “No.” However, she felt a little nudge from Holy Spirit to help this man, so she said, “Yes.””
“The man came to her office; she gave him a massage and when she was finished she asked if she could pray for his back. He agreed. She laid her hands on his back, prayed and the pain immediately left. He was so excited he paid her double for the massage.”
“The man went without pain for about a week, until he woke up in the middle of the night with intense back pain. He eventually drifted back to sleep. As he was sleeping, he saw Tanya, our massage therapist, dressed in white, come to him in his dream. She laid her hands on his back and when he woke up the next morning, he realized that the pain was gone! The man was so excited that he called her to tell her what happened.”
“And guess what the man’s vocational trade is? You guessed it – he’s an electrician!”

It’s crazy simple… and fun too!! God is just way too cool!!
THAT is evangelism!!!!!
John Wimber called it “power-evangelism”. Sure makes that statement loud and clear… Can’t argue with the facts. Makes the sales pitch really easy. Sounds like the way God would set things up… I guess, come to think of it, that’s the way Jesus did it.
