Dream......Fervent

So I am dreaming. Most of it is weird,  but then it switches. Someone I know is reading a bible verse. The word that sticks out to me is fervent. So I start to ponder this word and tell him I know this word and have defined it before. I start looking for where I wrote it. Then I say, "The fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much".

Then the dream went to me going in a room but the teacher telling me and some others, we had to wait till the 2nd half to play because I stepped out.  I told her I was getting a definition.  Then I woke up. Today I will be looking up bible verses with the word fervent to see if it will come to memory whart he was reading.

In the meantime,  I needed to define the word for myself. Especially since it's not a regular thing to dream of words in the bible. I'm feeling it applies to me for some reason.

 

fervent
[fur-vuh nt]
adjective
1.
having or showing great warmth or intensity of spirit, feeling, enthusiasm, etc.; ardent:
a fervent admirer; a fervent plea.
2.
hot; burning; glowing.

 

So now I have to give the whole, correct bible verse I stated in the dream.  As most of the time when people quote scripture, they don't always quote the whole thing. Just as when some study it, there is no attention paid to what was said before and after, so it can truly be understood.

 

James 5:16  King James Version (KJV)

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

One thing I want to note is that I feel asleep listening to a sermon called "Your convictions about prayer". See I am having internal issues about prayer. One thing the sermon said was there are 3 parts to answered prayers.

 

1. Praying in God's will.
2. Praying in faith that it is answered
3. Praying in Jesus' name.

 

I guess I drifted off to sleep with my own questions about it. Like "how do we know what God's will is for us? (What we pray). And "how do we know what we pray for is what God wants for our life?". (Oh and just because we say "in Jesus' name", doesn't mean we will get it!)

I know God either already gave me the answers or will give them to me, if I just ask Him.

 

Until next time.....
