RE Another Dream

Dear President Clinton,
        Greetings. This is now the second letter I am writing you in a little more than a week. When I mentioned to a couple of people that I had written a letter to you, they wondered why I had wasted my time: "Surely you don't think he would read your letter with the barrage of mail he receives." As I said in my last letter, I will leave it in the hands of the good Lord. If he wants you to read this, then he can make a way.
        As I mentioned to you in my last letter, I was deeply affected by a dream I had about you in which you were with my family on a vacation and taking very kind interest in what we had to say. Ever since then I have found that even though I disagree with you in terms of policies, I consider you as a brother. You have been on my mind and in my prayers. I have been praying that you might come to a realization that the angels of God (which surely include righteous presidents of the United States such as Thomas Jefferson or George Washington) seek to work with you to do a great work -- one to which you were foreordained before being born to this world -- and will do so to the extent that you humble yourself before the Lord. Depending on your agency, either their hands are tied or they will be able to inspire and direct the work you do. God's ministrants are much closer at hand than most people will ever realize -- until they die and graduate from this temporal existence, at which time they will be ushered into that world unseen by our veiled eyes. On the other hand, the forces of darkness are also hard at work. I have felt impressed to pray on your behalf that you would be shielded from them. God's power is greater, and will prevail -- depending, again, on our agency.
        Anyway, this focusing on your behalf has become somewhat of an obsession with me since that dream I had, and from last Thursday evening to Saturday afternoon, I fasted for the second time specifically on your behalf. Saturday morning I was given two more dreams about you. In one of them, you were hurriedly walking somewhere in Washington D.C. and I was laboring to keep up. Our conversation was brief, and the dream ended there.
        The other dream was even shorter -- more a snapshot image than an event linked to the flow of time -- and it seems that it was repeated at least once, if not twice. Even now, a few days later, the image is imbedded in my mind. You and Boris Yeltsin were featured together on a letter-proportioned, huge billboard-like advertisement. The snapshot had captured you in a mode of frivolity; and the advertisement (ostensibly for beer, but the political overtones were clearly the chief impetus) was being promoted both in the Soviet Union but also to a lesser extent in America. Boris had been behind both the staging of the photograph mood as well as the promotion of the advertisement. The feeling I got when I saw it was as if he was saying under his breath, "Got ya' where I want ya'."
        In scriptural prophecy wine represents the lies of the devil, and drinking that wine represents believing those lies. (See Isaiah 28:2,7; 29:9,10; 2 Nephi 28:21-25.) The lies are intoxicating and one who is overcome of wine does not recognize that he is so.
        This afternoon after a jog, doing my push-ups, I was listening to the New Testament on tape and was struck by the following passage. "No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then will he spoil his house." (Mark 3:27.) Though this is one of those verses teeming with innuendo and rich in application to many situations, it has nevertheless been somewhat of a riddle to me. I decided to make it the verse I memorize today, and as I was doing so before heading for bed, I was struck by its possible application to the dream I just described. Who are the "strong men" in the house of America? Certainly as her President, you qualify as such. I would also say that the churches of America play that role, and when it comes to the lie that communism is dead, they are as drunken as anyone else. On a larger scope, the United States plays that role for the world, with her manifest destiny having traditionally been the mainstay to oppose the establishment of world socialism. In some respects, you as the President of this great nation of destiny at this juncture are in a position of great influence for moving it one way or the other. Certainly the angels of heaven have an interest in guiding your steps if you will let them. God governs the affairs of this nation, and ultimately His kingdom will be established -- which the Founders commenced and are actively participating in achieving, notwithstanding the seeming disrepair at present.
        May the Lord's blessings be upon you and this nation as we choose to return to his ways.
