BAE GONLIBO’S DREAM

by Bobby Llamera

as told to Nelita B. Janoyan

May, 1996

Bae Dina Gonlibo was once a Seventh-day Adventist.  She backslid from the Adventist faith for four years and she became interested in another religious group.

One day as she was scanning the radio dial, she happened to tune in to a religious program that caught her interest.  Then she became an avid listener to that program.  What excited her most was the radio lecturer who claimed that he could heal all sorts of sicknesses.  He further emphasized that he had talked to God.  When Bae Dina heard these words from the lecturer, she was fascinated and wanted to listen to every one of the program lectures.  She even invited her brothers, sisters, and also her in-laws to listen.  For a long time they daily listened to this program until they decided to submit for baptism.  So an appointment was set for a meeting with the lecturer.

One night, Bae Dina had a dream.  She saw the lecturer of the radio program.  He was very big and tall.  On his forehead was written the number “666” and he had horns, a tail, fangs, and his eyes were like fire.  She was so scared that she screamed and then she awoke from her sleep.  She did not see any meaning to the dream and attributed the nightmare to her tiredness during the day.

The bad dream did not change her decision to meet the lecturer.  Then a strange thing happened.  The same dream occurred three successive nights and even during her nap at noontime.   She could not bear her fears anymore so she decided to tell her in-laws, brothers, and sister about her dream.  They all felt frightened also.  They decided not to meet with the lecturer and stopped listening to that radio program.

 Because of that dream, she decided to attend Sabbath church services again and to serve the Lord faithfully.  Now Bae Dina is a strong supporter of the mission school in her territory in Kabalansihan.  Her only desire is to bring her family and relatives to Jesus.  Let us each pray for them.
