Pennies and Dimes – Pledges and Tithes

This is what I dreamt today, February 10, 2012, concerning Refreshing Springs COGIC, Pastor A. Wendell Brown, Jr.

I was in a temple and people were coming in from prison, and needed to get things done like applying for jobs, getting picture ID’s to cash checks, finding out about child support they owe, getting medical insurance paper work completed, contact list of family members, and other resources.  They were almost fighting to get in line to get all they needed in order, in order to be successful outside of the wires.  One caucasian man sat behind me because he was afraid that if he left he would miss something.

Then, some people started singing around the sacred instruments and had a tape recorder to play the song so that the minstrel could find the right key on the organ.  And, well, they just couldn’t get it right as a skilled Levite.  When they did get somewhat where they were trying to go, I was singing in my seat and a lady turned around and said, “You go to this church?”  I said, “No, ma’am, I fellowship at Refreshing Springs COGIC.”  She tapped the lady in front of her and said, “Girl, she don’t go here.  She goes to that Refreshing Springs church!”  The lady she tapped face lit up and she said, “OH MY GOD!  That is the place to BE!”  Then she passed some change to the lady in front of me and said, “Give this to her.  It’s all I have, but that place is the place to BE!”

What she gave me was about 12 coins, no quarters and no nickles; only pennies and dimes (which means pledges and tithes).  SELAH!

I wholly BElieve, no doubt, that people are going to start giving Refreshing Springs their pledges and tithes.  We will enter their dwelling place and they will inquire of “Who are you?”  And they will give.  Thus, we will BE able to take care of the congregants IN the house and accommodate those who are transitioning back into society.  And we ALL will BE productive citizens because of “The Springs”; the poor and needy amongst us will not BE forsaken.  SELAH!

LET the scriptures come to life according to Isaiah 41:17-18 (KJV) “When the POOR and NEEDY SEEK, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD WILL HEAR them, I the God of Israel WILL NOT forsake them.  I WILL OPEN RIVERS in HIGH places, and FOUNTAINS in the midst of the VALLEYS: I WILL MAKE the wilderness a POOL of water, and the dry land SPRINGS of water.

WAIT FOR IT!  IT IS ON THE WAY!  ALLELUIA!
