The ATV (All Terrain Vehicle)

In the night of Saturday, August 24th, 2002, I saw an ATV about a block away. I don't own an ATV, but in the dream it was mine. It was facing at an angle from right to left. I stood looking at it for a moment and began to notice it was moving. I noticed it was idling and in gear. It was slowly moving forward. I saw it was dragging a chain about ten times its length with a rope tied to the chain about the length of the ATV.

As it was heading over a cliff, I began to run to try to stop it, but before I could take more than five steps it fell off of the cliff. I ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. It had fallen about one story down. I could see the ATV on its side, the wheels still turning around and people gathering around it.

I yelled down to the people, "It is mine, I will come and get it in just a minute."

Running to my wife's car, I realized I could not haul it back with her car. Then running to my car, I started the engine, backed up two feet but realized I could not get it with my car either. Then I thought about the ministry van with the trailer hitch. I thought if I have to I could stop by and rent a trailer and haul it back if it was too damaged to drive.

Running into the house to get the keys, I came out with a 5" key ring with over a hundred different keys on it. Being concerned about someone taking the ATV, I quickly sorted through the keys, but could not find the key to the van. I ran back inside and ask Leslie if she knew where the keys to the van were and she did not. I felt helpless . I could do nothing ! I woke up and immediately knew the interpretation. God was saying, "Stan, you can't do anything to keep The Prophecy Club ® going or to keep it from going over the cliff. I, the Lord will raise up The Prophecy Club ® ."

Stay with me now because all these dreams tie together to tell you something extremely important.

That night after the Cleveland Crusade I was pretty sure I had heard the Lord correct and had the correct revelation. But, in light of our financial situation I needed to know for sure. I asked Leslie and several of our other ministers if they thought I had interpreted the dream correctly. I said, "You don't suppose that the ATV going over the cliff represents that The Prophecy Club ® is going to fall off the cliff, meaning it is going to fail do you? They all said they did not think so, they all said they were sure God was going to make it grow in His timing .

That night before going to bed, Leslie and I held hands and asked God, "Tell one of us tonight whether The Prophecy Club ® is going to make it or not. If it is NOT going to make it we will turn everything off and find something else to do. We just don't want to see it fall off the cliff, laying on its side with the wheels going around and all those who hate it so much pointing and laughing at it, and us." That night the Lord gave Leslie this dream.
