As I went to bed as I do every night I was very tired and really felt unspiritual.  Some how when we are tired Godly and spiritual things are not always on our mind.  I have had many prophetic dreams in my life but none have shaken me quite like this one. 

Around 3:00 A.M I was literally shook until I awoke.  I felt I was in the biggest earthquake ever.  Living in Southern California most of my life I knew exactly what an earthquake felt like.  This dream was so intense I thought I was actually in the earthquake.  I did not get a sense of where it was but there were tall buildings and there was water near by.  I woke up sweating and I was in such a deep sleep it seemed like it was really happening.  I remember crying out "Oh my God, Oh my God!"  As I fully awakened I realized that I was in my bed in Nebraska.  I now knew that this was just a dream.  I was so groggy I laid back down with a sigh of relief thinking, "Praise God" this was not real. 

The next morning I woke up and immediately the dream hit me like a ton of bricks.  One of the ways I test a dream is to see if I can remember it.  I remembered this like I had just had it.  I remember asking the Lord, "Where is this earthquake?"  I heard the Lord say to me, "San Francisco."  I heard the Lord say, "And it's number will be 9.0."  The biggest earthquake I've ever experienced was a 5.4.  A 9.0 would be nearly twice that amount.  I remember the damage of the 5.4 and I can't imagine what damage there would be with a 9.0.  I remember questioning the dream and asking the Lord to give me a confirmation.  Three days later in my travels a documentary was on T.V. and it was about the devastation of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco.  They said 500 people died.  The historians are saying that 5,000 people died.  I remember praying to the Lord and saying,"Lord, this is a confirmation but I need something more.  I don't want to act like Gideon, but I need to know this dream is from You." 

About two months later I was preaching in Northern Nebraska.  It was a very prophetic night.  I was prophesying over people, and giving Word, and the anointing was heavy.  It was a smaller congregation and at the end of the service I had asked them to come up for prayer.  As I started to pray and prophesy over people I met up with a lady who was quite mature in her age.  I gave her a Word and it had nothing to do with end times.  She was grateful and received the Word and I began to walk off.  As I was halfway to the next person she grabbed my arm and tugged on me.  And asked me, "What is the Lord saying to you?"  I kind of side stepped because I wasn't sure where she was at.  As I began to walk off a second time she attached herself to me and said "What is the Lord telling you!!?"  Some how in my Spirit I knew what information she was looking for.  I looked deep into her eyes and I said to her,"The Lord is telling me there's going to be a huge earthquake."  Her immediate answer was, "Yes, and it will be a 9.0."  I remember being in shock.  Then she asked me to ask her where she was from.  So I agreed with her and said o.k. "Where are you from?"  She said, "I used to live in San Francisco.  I had no reason to move.  The Lord told me to leave.  He told me to get out of San Francisco.  So here I am!"  She said to me, "Pastor, you are truly hearing from the Lord." 

After that preaching in Northern Nebraska I did not ask the Lord for any more confirmations.  I believe as a Body we need to repent for our sin.  I heard a good word the other day from a fellow pastor.  His statement of TRUTH to me was, "We shouldn't have to have an earthquake to repent."
