I Had a Vision

[WWJDnow]

As most of you, my fellow Landoverians know well, after graduating from Bible college at the Landover Baptist University, I attended dental school and have been practicing in New York City. Well, last night I had a dream in which the late, great Landover Pastor Lamentations Flint, the father of Pastor Ezekiel Flint, appeared to me while sitting at the right hand of Jesus. Pastor Flint (the elder) pointed his finger at me and shouted "What have you done lately for the Lord?" I answered that I believed on Jesus and tried to lead a good Christian life and tithed faithfully to the Landover Baptist Church and shouted at sinners on the street. But Pastor Flint said "THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!" Jesus then spoke to me saying, "Verily, thou must build me a faith-healing dental clinic.

I cannot disobey Pastor Flint or Jesus, so I am selling my dental practice. After a forty-day sojourn in the desert to purify myself at the luxury Sheraton hotel in Dubai, I will attend a graduate level program in miracle working and faith healing at the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA (sometimes rather rudely called the Christian Hogwarts) after which I hope to return to Freehold, Iowa, the home of our Church, to set up my clinic.

I am looking forward to entering upon this next step on my spiritual journey as a Christian. I hope to be praying your cavities and abscesses and overbites away in early 2024.

Brother I'm so pleased for you! The BDSM have Core Values, Leadership, Missions - a Website, everything you could want. Just lay back, inhale deeply and enjoy the Visions:

We offer many ministry and mission trips throughout the year as we activate students to catalyze God encounters in regions across the world. “We owe the world an encounter with Jesus.” Our Desire: To be challenged and go to new levels as leaders.

Even their Alumni page has a Mission Statement, for Jesus H. F. Christ's sake. These guys are the real Holy piffleing deal.

The mission of BSSM Alumni is to connect and empower a family of commissioned revivalists who passionately pursue worldwide transformation in their God-given spheres of influence.

Time to get serious about transformations and all that other gay stuff, I guess.

I'm delighted to learn of your plans to start a dental practice in Freehold. Dentists who preach the gospel to captive patients are one of the Jesus' great assets.

Re: I Had a Vision

It's not really my place to suggest things but don't dentists usually have an assistant with whom they carry on a conversation? That would be a wonderful opportunity for sharing in this way, how the assistant's dreadful existence had spiralled downhill prior to encountering The Risen Lord.

The Dentist, a Christian in this case, could develop the theme in his half of the conversation. Often the former (or current, it depends on who the assistant is) sinner is reluctant to discuss important aspects of the sin life where Christ is most desperately needed. Sometimes they don't even know it IS sin. I've heard there are some very good dental anaesthetics available but they take a little time to work. This would fill in the time perfectly and avoid those awkward silences.

What reading material will you be using in the waiting room?

The website is a testament to Christian humility. The school teaches students to work miracles!

Of course, there is no witchcraft involved and nobody there is homosexual, which is why the nickname "Christian Hogwarts" is completely inappropriate. As Christians, when we work miracles, we are asking the Holy Ghost to work His power through us. This is completely different from magic spells and potions, which are powered by the devil.

Sister Mitza, thank you for these helpful suggestions. I will give them full consideration over the next year as I think about developing my practice. I don't plan to anesthetize my patients, since God will remove their pain through prayer provided that their faith is strong enough. And if it isn't, the pain will be a good reminder that they're on the path to Hell.

As for reading materials, certainly the Bible, King James 1611 version, some of Pastor Ezekiel's books such as God Wants You to Be as Rich as I Am If You Send Me Tithes and Mexicans: the New Negroes--A Biblical Perspective, the Freehold Truth and Light, some women's magazines such as Modern Submissive Christian Woman, Purity for teenaged girls, Guns and Ammo for the men and boys, and Bible story coloring books for the young kids.

Hallelujah! You can be sure I'll be praying that the residents of Freehold are struck with all manner of cavities and gingivitis so you can work your magic miracles.
