Dream about revival in Australia received at the beginning of 2008

At the beginning of 2008, I had an unexpected dream about Australia. At that time my heart was  still in India, since Michael, Lisa and I just returned from our mission work in India only some months before. At this point, my heart was not really burdened for Australia and I was not even praying for Australia.

The Bible says in Jeremiah 23:28:
“ The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream; And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the LORD. The Lord gave me this verse to motivate me to write this dream down and share it publicly.

In the dream, I was walking down a street in Australia, praying in tongues and observing what was happening around me. It was as if I could see through walls inside people’s homes and hear what they were saying and see what they were doing. Inside the homes there were people talking on the phone with others about Jesus or listening to the radio about Jesus, which was a real surprise to me. They were hungry for God, they did not have the typical: ‘I’m alright, mate!’ attitude, the self-reliant attitude. No, they were very dependent on God, hungry and curious to learn about Jesus, humble, with an attitude of surrender and submission to God and not with independence and rebellion. This really surprised me as this was not how I knew people in Australia to be at the time of the dream.

The scene changed and I found myself with my husband near a mall, walking closer and closer to it. We were walking being very aware of our total dependence on God and feeling strongly the fear of God in our hearts. Our ‘spiritual antennas’ were up and very tuned in to the Holy Spirit so we could know what God is saying, should we walk in the mall or not. The reason for this was because we knew in our hearts that at anytime a terrorist attack could happen and the only way to be sure we are safe at all times was to walk in tune with the Holy Spirit. He would be able to give us a warning if we are not to go somewhere. 

The scene changed to me being on a crowded bus and a bomb exploded on the bus and made the bus catch on fire. I just managed to run out of the bus without being affected by the fire and I was feeling really stressed but also felt relief that I was one of those who escaped alive. Chaos was all around me.

I woke up from the dream feeling an awe of God in my heart. I asked God to unveil to me the meaning of this dream. He told me that there will be terrorist attacks in Australia and then He will bring the kind of revival that I have seen in this dream in Australia where people will be changed, hungry for God and surrender to Him. He also told me: Pray for this revival to come, because I will bring it.

Therefore, I would like to encourage the Christians in Australia to believe for this revival and to pray for it, because God WILL bring it. And please get closer to God – walk in the fear of God and walk led by the Spirit so you don’t get caught in the terrorist attacks that God seems to say will come.
