My best friend sent me this right after the election. This was written by her very good friend. So yes friend of a friend, but I trust her. I have spent the last weeks keeping my eyes on Jesus and I pray during this time all of us will.
“Two years ago during the summer of 2018, I was door knocking for our Republican candidates for the 2018 election. I was using the RNC walk-book that gives you addresses of homes to make contact with. There was a particular address I could not find. Normally I would just move on, to the next address, but something in me kept me looking for this apartment. I became determined to find this apartment. It’s a long story about how difficult it was to get to this apartment, but in the end it took me an hour to finally find it. I was walking down this extremely long hallway shaking my head at myself wondering why in the world I wasted an hour of my day to find 1 particular address. I should have, and normally would have just moved on. But I didn’t. I finally got to the end of the hallway and knocked on the door. I waited a very long time for someone to answer. I wasn’t going to leave prematurely after spending an hour finding this apartment. Eventually I heard an old lady yell please come in, so I opened the door.
There was a little old lady sitting on a little chair in front of the tv that was playing the Christian Broadcasting network. She had a cup of coffee and an open Bible set on her end table next to her. She asked me if I know Jesus and I said, “Yes I know Jesus”. Then she asked me if He’s my savior and if I’ve received the free gift of salvation from my sins through His precious blood He poured out on the cross for me. I said, “Yes I have received the free gift, I love Jesus and I’m so grateful that He died for me and has taken away all my sin so that I can know God personally.” Then she asked me if I could come sit down and talk with her and have a cup of coffee. By this time I’m thinking, “Oh no, I’m not going to meet my goal today, I already spent an hour finding this lady, she’s no doubt voting Republican, I have to go, but she seems so lonely, what do I do?” Well I sat down and drank a cup of coffee with her.
She started telling me her life’s story. She said she’s always loved Jesus since she was a little girl. She was raised in a Christian home and had wonderful Christian parents who taught her the Bible and to love Jesus. She said throughout her life she’s seen God move in amazing ways, and she’s seen many outpourings of the Holy Spirit and has had the opportunity to serve Jesus and help others. She also said, she’s seen Christian leaders predict different years when they thought Jesus was going to return. She saw the years come and go with no return of Jesus. She promised herself she’d never believe another person who predicts a year, and she would never do that herself because it’s too much of a let down for people. She doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s faith.
Then she said, “But I had a dream, I’ve never had a dream like this ever before and I’ve known Jesus for over 90 years.” She said, “The Holy Spirit spoke to me so strongly and so clearly in an audible voice. I’ve loved Jesus my whole life but He has never spoken to me like this before.
He told me that in November 2020, Trump will win the election but things will not happen the way you think. He will win, but he will never serve his 2nd term. After he wins in November, things are going to get crazy and really bad very quickly. Things in the world and in our country will change very quickly. Everything will move very quickly. It will turn into a big storm of chaos and problems, but do not be distracted. Keep your eyes on Jesus and look up. Don’t get distracted by the chaos that’s what the enemy wants. Please listen to me about this, keep your eyes on Jesus and be ready for His return. He is coming very soon.”
I thanked her for sharing her dream and talked a little bit more then said goodbye.
I’ve knocked on hundreds of doors, had hundreds of great conversations with people, but I never forgot that little old lady in the apartment at the end of that long hallway in a complex that was almost impossible to find. It stuck with me, and I’ve been thinking about it a lot in the past 2 weeks.“
And look into his face when you get anxious.
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace.
