In Chapter one of 'The Millionaire Dream' Series (published into HOME::Arts-and-Entertainment) section of EzineArticles, I recounted how, in a very strange dream, I was taken to heaven. At the invitation of two who had formerly been the stars of 'The Millionaire,' a black and white weekly CBS television series that ran from 1955 to 1960, 'The Master' allowed Michael Anthony and John Beresford Tipton to discuss many things with me. (NASB) Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (NASB) 1 Peter 4:11 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Dear reader, you might consider reading 'The Millionaire Dream 'Introduction' Chapter One to be up to speed, before continuing to read this article, if you have not yet done so.

'The Millionaire Dream' article is posted on my Jesus4You.ws website also. At the end of Chapter one, I had been asked the question: "Didn't you have a dream, Rascal, where you were allowed see your father here in heaven, about six months after he left the earthly-plane?" "Why yes, I did. But how did you know?" "We can know everything that has ever happened on the Earth once we arrive here," the marvelous man with the kind voice assured me. It's all written down in 'The Books Of Lives' to which we are each granted full access. Some call them the 'Akashic Records.' I happened across your encounter with your father when I was checking you out, in preparation of this meeting, Rascal. I haven't discussed the event with Michael because he's likely seen it to. Michael is most interested in future new directions events possibilities. But why don't you share, in your own words with Michael and I, your dream adventure encounter of your earthly father, Clarmonnt Earl Miles, here in heaven? Then we will all be on 'The same page' as your generation calls it." "It will be my pleasure, Sir," I replied. "Please, just call me John, Rascal. We are all pretty informal here. Even 'The Master' asks us to call Him by His name. His is a 'Special Name' that was given to Him too. Like you, Rascal, He likes His Name also." "Thank you, John," I replied. I know 'The Master's Name'." "Mr. Anthony, I dreamed that I was waking with 'The Lord' in heaven. I didn't actually see Jesus but I knew that He was right with me, maybe a step behind? As we walked, I noticed a young man before us. Down on his knees, the man appeared to be planting a small, exotic purple tree. As we approached him, the man looked up and smiled. He didn't seem to notice me, but rather looked past me up into the face of Jesus. He had the biggest smile on his own fair face. It was then that I recognized my father. I hadn't realized that it was 'My Dad' because I'd never seen him so young. His hair was wavy and his real teeth radiant. My dream was in full color, Michael, much different than this one that is in black and white." Oh yes, Rascal. I've talked with Clarimont several times. He's been with us here for about twelve years. A delightful soul. He goes by the name Bud. He's very pleased now that your mother, Mildred, is with us. He takes her out to see more of God's exotic animals frequently. They usually have the 'Fearsome-bluff' chow dog we call Cindy with them, and your brother, Randall, is their guide." Michael Anthony explained to my glee. Turning to John, Michael Anthony elaborated. "Rascal's father, Bud, and his mother, Mildred, ran a cookhouse operation in a logging camp called Izee which, for many years, was located in eastern Oregon. When we went on-the-air in1955 and through our last episode in 1960, the Miles family watched 'The Millionaire' every week as a family." I'll bet that we got some crowns for that, Michael," John said with delight. I won't take your candy on that wager, John," Michael replied. "There wasn't any network competition to beat us out. CBS was the only channel that was cabled from a tower on the mountain into the little sawmill town or 'Logging camp,' as it was called. With bad reception through rain or shine, the poor souls in that place watched everything with plenty of fuzzy snow," he laughed. Turning again to me Michael Anthony said "Perhaps, another time you will have the occasion to visit your Mother, Father, and Cindy all together, Rascal, and meet your brother, Randall, who was aborted before you were born?" John chimed in. " Yes, perhaps another time. You'll be awakening soon and I'd like to explain why 'The Lord' allowed us to invite you here tonight. Since you have expressed an interest both here and on Earth to know , I'll tell you that children whose lives were cut short on Planet Earth, for whatever reason, are also twenty-seven-earth-years-old here when they arrive. They are schooled by angels and our best saints. These special children enjoy a happy growing-up experience and are very wise indeed." "I appreciate learning that very much," I responded. "Thank you, John, for sharing with me about the children. I can't tell you gentleman how excited that I am to have learned that I have another twenty-seven-year-old big brother too. I love my big brother, Robert, but I know that Randall will add yet another dimension to my life when we meet." (To be continued in The Millionaire Dream Series Chapter Three) |
