Chapter Eight

Discerning the Right

Place

Over twelve years ago, God began to speak to me about the amazing discernment of women. I had a dream one Saturday night that was so vivid I will never forget it. I dreamed I was attending the funeral of a child. When I walked up to the little casket and looked in, I was devastated to see my three-year-old daughter lying lifeless in the coffin. Immediately, I woke up from the dream and awakened my wife. We both began to pray for our family. We wept as the strong presence of the Lord entered our bedroom.

Still shaken by this experience the next morning, I went to church to preach. I preached a sermon I titled “Cancel the Devil’s Assignment.” At the end of the message, I tearfully told the congregation about my dream. I explained how I believed God was warning me that Satan had targeted our children at a young age, but through the blood of Jesus Christ, we could cancel the devil’s assignment in their life. It was one of the most moving services I’d ever taken part in, as fathers and mothers began to cry out to God on behalf of their families.

Now this is where the story becomes almost unbelievable. Our family had planned to go on vacation to Disney World in Florida the next day. For some strange reason, my wife begged me to leave after the morning services ended. She kept on pleading with me, “Let’s go one day early so we can go to Sea World tomorrow.” Sea World hadn’t even been on our itinerary, but I consented, and we arrived in Florida one day early.

The next morning, we took our two daughters to Sea World. It was a beautiful, sunny day as we waited for the ski show to begin in the uncovered, five-thousand-seat stadium. Out of nowhere, a huge, dark storm cloud emerged and covered the park. The wind picked up drastically. We heard a clap of thunder when, suddenly, right before our eyes, a streak of lightning hit the top of a nearby hotel, setting it on fire. Panic-stricken, five thousand people rushed up the steps of the stadium, seeking shelter from the storm. Total chaos ensued.

Cherise grabbed the diaper bag and accessories while I snatched one of the girls. Our youngest daughter walked up the steps herself. By the time we neared the top of the stadium, as thunder and lightning struck everywhere around us, both of our girls were hysterical. To be honest, so was I. Never before had I encountered anything like this. The strong winds triggered my mind to watch for a tornado. When we reached the top of the steps, it was so crowded that Cherise quickly turned to pick up our crying three-year-old.

But when Cherise reached for her, Caressa ran right past her to a total stranger standing nearby. The stranger, a twenty-six-year-old lady, reached down and picked up our daughter without hesitation. Caressa wrapped her arms around the young lady’s neck and wouldn’t let her go.
