Faith for the impossible: A prophetic dream in prison

The miraculous healing I experienced from throat cancer built a foundation of faith for an even greater trial years later. When I was sentenced to ten years in a foreign prison—five for smuggling Bibles and five for preaching the Gospel with the underground church – I turned to God, praying for deliverance.

Just three days after the trial, the Lord spoke to me through a vivid dream. He showed me that I would be released and standing in London’s largest auditorium, preaching to 10,000 people at an Easter convention. That dream provided two clear assurances: first, that I would definitely be set free; and second, it gave me an exact timeline – Easter.

I held onto that promise in prayer. Five months later, I managed to smuggle a Bible into my cell. Prompted by the Holy Spirit to look at the writings of King David, I opened to Psalm 35:18: "I will give You thanks in the great congregation."

Immediately, faith ignited in my spirit. I leapt to my feet inside that prison cell, knowing without a doubt that God’s word was sealed and my deliverance was on the way.


Before facing foreign imprisonment, a miraculous healing from throat cancer established a foundational faith in God's power. Years later, that faith was tested when authorities issued a 10-year foreign prison sentence – five years for smuggling Bibles and five years for underground church ministry.

Three days after the trial, a vivid dream provided divine revelation: release was certain, marked by a specific milestone of preaching to 10,000 people at an Easter convention in London's largest auditorium. Five months into the sentence, a smuggled Bible provided scriptural confirmation through Psalm 35:18 ("I will give You thanks in the great congregation"), confirming that supernatural deliverance was imminent.

How did God provide assurance of release from foreign prison?

Three days after the sentencing trial, a prophetic dream revealed a future deliverance: standing on stage in London’s largest auditorium, preaching to an audience of 10,000 attendees at an Easter convention. This established both the certainty of freedom and the timeline of release.

What Bible verse confirmed the prophetic dream?

Five months into the sentence, after secretly obtaining a Bible, the Holy Spirit highlighted Psalm 35:18: "I will give You thanks in the great congregation." This scripture directly mirrored the dream of preaching before 10,000 believers, solidifying the promise of deliverance.
