Dream of traveling in a sub-urban train and in a bus

Home

When I was viewing the entries in our Guestbook the other day, the Holy Spirit drew my attention to an entry made by a dear sister in Christ, namely, Juliet Joseph. She had recorded as follows in the Guestbook: "Bro Job, I dreamt of traveling in a subway train and I was telling my husband that the last stop is "anbalagan" after which we would get off and take a bus to our destination. I had read of you before this dream and we are born-again Christians by His Grace. I do not know the meaning of the dream, might you know? (I have a lot of prophetic dreams)"

While interpreting this dream, the Lord has given me the following prophetic message. I do not glory in the fact that my name was mentioned by this dear sister.

Many of my friends in North India and abroad do find it difficult to spell my name "Anbalagan" correctly because it is a typical "Tamil" name. This dear sister in a foreign nation was able to correctly write my name. This dream shows that the Lord is gathering His people in the one Body of Christ irrespective of their cultures, languages and nationalities.

Secondly, a prophetic ministry in the Body of Christ should help the people of God reach their final destination. It has to lead them to the truth of the Word, exposing false doctrines. My name "Anbalagan" was seen as the last stop on a sub-way train route. The prophetic ministry is only a sign likened to the name board in the sub-way train station. A child of God has to get down on seeing this sign. This means he/she has to get ready for the ministry as soon as he/she gets a word of prophetic confirmation. A prophet is merely a facilitator or a helper.

After reaching the last railway stop, the sister concerned had to catch a bus for reaching her final destination along with her husband. The prophetic ministry as such is only a means and the people of God have to reach their final destination "by taking a bus". The sub-way train is typical of a prophetic ministry. It is faster than a bus. Prophets in the Body of Christ have to be faster in doing their ministries in His vineyard.

The bus is typical of a ministry in the Body of Christ. The prophetic ministry edifies a disciple of Christ God so that he/she may take upon himself/herself a ministry to which God has called him/her. A child of God should know the call of God in his/her ministry. He/she should not end himself/herself in the railway stop as he/she has to proceed further to the desired destination. Every ministry should have its own vision and mission as would be assigned by the Holy Spirit.
