During my childhood years long before I ever went to any kind of a spiritual gift oriented church I would have these recurring dreams where I remember being instructed on how to use some of my spiritual gifts. I remember having the scary dreams and the inner voice spoke to me that I could change the channel like a remote control and it worked. There were a few others like that, but the main thing was that I could control these things because they were part of me. Many times people just start to experience this type of thing in a charismatic type church where they just jump in the flow and things happen spontaneously and they never realize that the gifts are part of them and not just something that happens to them.
I know there’s a lot more to this because during my childhood I would constantly have this recurring dream based on a TV show. The show was the Greatest American Hero and basically it was about a guy who was given a super powered suit that he lost the book of instructions to. On the TV show he would stumble upon one power at a time and he rarely did anything right. Although he managed to get the job done it was always harder than it should have been. That’s how we are with our spiritual gifts and power. So in these dreams I was always flying into things and never really tapped into my true potential. The concept of the TV show worked well with what the Spirit was trying to show me. Without proper training we can be clumsy with our spiritual gifts. On top of this I didn’t even know that God spoke to us through our dreams when all these things were happening. I thought that all this was part of my imagination. The Spirit was trying to get my attention the problem was I just thought they were only dreams that meant nothing. Now of course I know otherwise. So many lost years and I’m sure we are always losing kids that are full of potential but never had the opportunity to be taught correctly. The basic teaching in this is that we have so much potential inside and we lack the proper environment and tools to fully live in our true spiritual reality.

I remember this reoccurring dream I had as a kid. I believe it has to do with using our power and authority along with facing our fears. Looking back I believe that this was a reoccurring battle about whether or not I was going to be able to overcome my fears so that I can access the divine power within. This was ongoing spiritual warfare and early age.
Here’s what would happen. I continually had the dream which is probably more like vision quest. I was outside this house that was filled with all the spooky stuff. I had a mission that was the same every time the dream happened. The objective was to run inside the house with my eyes completely open, I was to search for and get the staff of power. I was to do this without closing my eyes which would be something that I would want to do because of all the scary stuff in the house. No matter how scary it got I could not close my eyes. If I close my eyes I would have to go back and do it all over again. After I obtained the staff great miracles were then performed. If the staff was dropped and damaged, then I would have to return it and repeat the process again. There is probably more to this but that’s all I can remember. I hope that I am remembering it correctly

I want to share some experiences I had as a child, at the time these things happened I don’t even think I was going to church at least on a regular basis. I’m saying this because I don’t want you all to think I was immersed in any kind of deep spiritual environment at the time. I remember hearing people talk about God when I was a kid and I attended summer Bible school and nobody spoke to me about dreams, visions and things like that. Anyway that’s important because it shows that the Spirit can speak no matter where we are at.
So here’s what happened. I continually had this vision type experience where I was out in the middle of nowhere and there was this glorious hole in the ground. I had this feeling that God was all around and that jumping in was a matter of complete trust and letting go. After numerous experiences like that I would follow-through with the meditation by jumping in mentally. After this was always the sensation of being close to God as though he was inside me and inside my head so that I could talk with him.
During this time I was continually having dreams and thoughts throughout the day of being completely immersed in God as though I became this superpowerful and awesome being that was completely merged with God. During these dreams of being one with God I remember two things especially. One was that I could talk with God at all times and two was that I could create my own world just by speaking or thinking it into existence. What could be brought into existence or changed was just a matter of creativity. I only wish now that I was more aware of the reality and truth of what was going on then. That was before religion and now I find myself trying to rid myself of the clutter of religion to get back to that childhood reality of oneness with God.
