“A Testimony On Fruit” by: Sandy Stage
February 10th, 2008
When I was fifteen years old I had a dream. It came to me on a schoolbus on my way home. This was my dream:
I was in heaven with the redeemed. We were very happy to finally be home where peace and joy reign forever. There I saw Jesus and a long wooden table that was going to be used for a special feast. There were delicious things on that table {shame I can’t remember what they were, oh, well}, lots of things that would make a person’s mouth water. Jesus called us over and told us that the preparations weren’t finished, there had to be some fruit to go along with the food. Then He gave us big baskets and told us to go and gather fruit for the feast. We joyfully went through the woods to find some that would please Him. During my search I found some big juicy ones and filled my basket up to the top with them. When I was done I went to join my brothers and sisters, who were now standing in line waiting to show the Master their pickings. Jesus smiled at each one that showed his/her fruit to Him and told them that they were very good. Then my turn came. I gladly gave Him my basket and watched anxiously as He looked through it. Then He stopped, looked up into heaven and said: “This fruit is very good.” I was about to say something when….POOF! the dream ended.
I woke up and excitedly told my friend sitting in the front seat that I had just dreamed a wonderful dream. My friend smiled at me, then went back to sleep {the long trip was making her tired too}. I happily sat in my seat and thanked God for the mental experience I had.
It’s now been nine years ago and I haven’t forgotten that dream. The sermons I heard and the Bible verses I read about fruit bearing opened my eyes to the meaning of that picture:
We are all called to bear fruit for Jesus. The fruit is the characteristics of the Holy Spirit {see Gal. 5:22-25} and when we ask Him to dwell in us our hearts will be overflowing with His fruit {like the baskets in the dream}. And when Jesus comes again to take us home to heaven He will be pleased when He sees what we’ve gathered for Him.
God showed me in a personal way that His main goal for me is to bear fruit for His glory. And I hope to do it well with His help.
And friend, that’s His goal for you too. Do you want to do it?

An Awesome dream from Jesus and Heaven. Sure I want to bring as many baskets of all sorts of fruits(saved people) to Jesus. There is also a Man of God I read his dreams of Heaven too! http://www.4hispeople.com/ I hope these dreams of Jesus and Heaven can encourage other here also.
in Jesus Christ our Lord ,King of Kings

I’m glad you at least have a dream about Jesus.
I had never had any in my entire life as far as I can recall. Except one strange dream, which I think is not suitable to reveal at this time, to avoid misinterpretation by hundreds of readers.
Thank you for your dreams because it reminds me about the importance of bearing fruits for Jesus.

I had a dream from Jesus about fruit also.
This dream reminded me of being at work and I was going on a break. In this place I was outside. There were features of landscape and there was a group of people around me, but everything was blurry and I could not make anything out.
I then looked into my bag to get something to eat. I pulled out this strange looking fruit. The fruit was not blurry. It was gray and kind of in the shape of a pineapple. It was made of these 3D squares. The fruit also had light shining in it that was gold and white. The light moved around like a spotlight would. The fruit also pulsated like it was alive. It was about the size of a big watermelon, but seemed to way nothing and I held it in one hand.
The fruit did not scare me, but I thought “ Can I eat this” and then I heard someone say, “Yes it is good to eat.” The people there seemed to be full of life. They were happy to be showing me something I have not seen or remember seeing. It was fun for everyone. I bet Jesus was the one talking to me. When I thought of seriously eating the fruit I could feel a rush through my body. The rush had no barrier like we are normal to. Sometimes we get a sugar rush and feel like running or something, but this rush was way more than that and kept getting bigger.
I cannot remember if I actually took a bite out of the fruit or not. It was unlike anything I have ever seen. If that piece of fruit were here on this earth it would be on the news or locked up tightly by security. That one piece of fruit had more to it than the most complex piece of engineering here.
In heaven our senses are more full than here. Our senses on this earth are dulled significantly. It is hard to explain. Our senses here are like a drop of water, but in Heaven they are like all the oceans combined!!
