Week #5 - Wrong 2 Strong "2 Minute Devotional" w/ Cisco Terrazas

"Feeling lost? Remember, God has a plan for each of us. When I was at my lowest, a dream reminded me of His presence. He holds us, guides us, and brings hope. Trust in His purpose for you." 

Welcome to Week #5 of the Wrong 2 Strong "2-Minute Devotionals." Cisco Terrazas recounts a vivid dream from a time before he found Christ, inspired by Isaiah 41:13. In his dream, he was lost in a run-down urban area but saw a bright, paradisiacal place across a wrought iron fence. An unidentified person in a white robe reached out to him, providing comfort and safety amidst his depression. This experience, later reinforced by scripture, helped Cisco realize God's plans for everyone, especially the lost. He urges listeners to understand that God is always watching and has a purpose for each person, offering hope and guidance even when they feel lost.

We're on a mission from God from darkness to light. And from Wrong To Strong. Hello everyone. This is Cisco Terrazas coming to you with the Wrong to Strong two minute devotional. The scripture I'd like to share with you actually brings me back to a vivid dream I had back in my time before I came to Christ. Before I can describe it to you I'll share the scripture I have in my mind and that's Isaiah 41 13. For I am the LORD your God who takes a hold of your right hand and says to you do not fear I will help you. This dream I had was me walking, kind of like in a way where I'm walking where I'm lost, and in the dream I see two areas, a wrought iron fence that's dividing this urban looking area where I'm at, you can kind of consider it as the ghetto, right, what we would call us, people living in the city, broken down, abandoned buildings, just boarded up, and what happens in those buildings, God knows what, you know what I mean? It's things that, obviously, I grew up and I was used to, uh, just seeing, you know. Not, not nice, of course, in any way. And then the other side of the wrought iron fence is this light, this beautiful place I can only describe as paradise, right? And as I'm walking closer to this wrought iron fence, I see this image of a person. Um, can't really describe the face or anything like that. I wasn't able to see the face, but just in a white robe garment, just looking shiny and bright, you know, just nothing that obviously I feared, but I was kind of almost happy to see. And this person handed me His, because it looked like a man's hand, his right hand right through the iron fence, he had his hand right through it. And I remember just clamping on, just grabbing on to the hand. And um, you know, this was a time where I was dealing with depression, I was lost, I was a lost soul, you know. I was young at that time. Um, before it probably my early 20s in a sense if I can recall correctly, but this hand Reminded me of of Jesus. That's the only one the only thing I can think of was just Jesus Just kind of showing me comfort, and helping me Just kind of feel safe in a sense, right and I wasn't able to share with anyone This is a dream that I had at that time because I really had no, no guidance or no one to really talk to. But I recall a couple years later in my life after I came to Jesus, where I was actually able to find the scripture, the scripture of Isaiah 41, 13 that gave me this. This literally description of the dream that I had, you know, and It really made me realize that that God has plans for each and every one of us man especially those that are lost, you know, and then the one that one scripture that that brings me to to that is Jeremiah 2911 for I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD Plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope and a future My friend, God works in mysterious ways. Even when you're not looking for Him, trust me, He has an eye on you. He's, He's looking for you, you know. He leaves the 99 to go for the 1, which is the lost ones, you know. I was one of them. So, just know that you have a mighty God looking down on you. When you're just walking down the streets, looking like you're lost, just know that there's hope. There's hope, there's light. And you have a plan. Trust me, you exist for a reason. So just know that you have a purpose. God will speak to you. Trust me. He'll, he'll come looking for you and he'll find you. So just wanted to share that and, uh, say thank you to everyone, for listening. I am Cisco Terrazas and I am Wrong To Strong.
