Now I know what some of my friends will say when they read this story. Michael has fallen off the wagon and gone back to drinking again. But no, I haven’t lost my mind and started drinking again. But I am trying to build something that most alcoholics would say is impossible. The perfect martini and drink it without getting drunk.

I had a dream the other night a God made me the perfect martini. And this one, I didn’t get drunk off of when I drank it. “Scratch the record!” You just said God made you a martini, and you didn’t get drunk. Hold the phone. God made me a martini in my dream, and I didn’t get drunk. That doesn’t mean I was saying God is tempting me to sin.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he draws no one into temptation. James 1:13 MBV

Bishop James of Jerusalem

Here is my dream, and I will give you the interpretation later in this story. In my dream. “I was walking along—the Marina in downtown Sparks, Nevada. And suddenly, I passed by this stand. It had a food truck, and In the food truck had a person behind it serving drinks.

Well, I noticed he was in a tuxedo. A white tuxedo. And he was mixing a drink. A martini, and he gave it to me. The person that was in the tuxedo looked very familiar to me. At first, I didn’t recognize him. But he mixed a drink and tried to give it to me thrice. But he had shown me what he put in it. First, he poured out the very dry gin into the ordinary glass.

Then he poured the vermouth and the gin over ice into a silver martini shaker. And he was shaking it very well. He poured it into the martini glass and took three items. And put them together. A white onion, a black olive, and a tremendously beautiful green olive. And they were wrapped in lemon and lime peels.

And put it in the glass and the martini glass. And he gave it to me. He told me. “Drink it.” But I poured it out each time. Seven times he made this martini as I poured it out. And each time I poured it out, he’d made me an even better one. The seventh time I drank it. And did not get drunk. And then he said. This is my will for you. And then he turned into Jesus Christ, and he disappeared.”

Then I woke from the dream, and here is what it meant. The drink was the sinners or the one who doesn’t know Christ, and they must be ordinary people. The silver martini shaker was Christ’s word, and he would mix them well. I am to combine the truth of the Ten Commandments and the grace of God’s love to cool them down. I am to call upon and go-to and witness for seven weeks.

I would try and fail, but the fruit of the harvest would come to pass. The fruit of the Spirit, the onion, and the black and green olives wrapped in the lemon and lime peels, is to be put in the sinner each time for the drink to be complete. I didn’t get drunk because I wouldn’t get drunk with power and fall into bondage this time. Here is another vision that a man had to get his attention.

Peter’s Vision

“The next day around noon, as Cornelius’ men were approaching Joppa, Peter went up to the house’s flat roof to pray. He was hungry and wanted to eat, but while lunch was being prepared, he fell into a trance and entered another realm. As the heavenly realm opened up, he saw something resembling a large linen tablecloth that descended from above, being let down to the earth by its four corners. He saw it held many kinds of four-footed animals, reptiles, and wild birds as it floated down. A voice said to him, “Peter, go and prepare them to be eaten.” Peter replied, “There’s no way I could do that, Lord, for I’ve never eaten anything forbidden or impure according to our Jewish laws.” The voice spoke again. “Nothing is unclean if God declares it to be clean.” The vision was repeated three times. Then suddenly, the linen sheet was snatched back up into heaven. Peter was so stunned by the vision that he couldn’t stop wondering what it meant. Meanwhile, Cornelius’ men had learned where Peter was staying and, at that same moment, were standing outside the gate.” Act 10:9-10 TPT

Luke the Doctor

In this world of confusion, we see Christ giving humanity what he views as essential. You have to catch a fish before you clean it. And so is it for the problems of the world. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to get out and do it, even if you are the only one doing it. For the Chronicle, this is Michael Tsaphah.
