Dream of Cuba | Prophet Charlie Shamp

Last night, I experienced a powerful dream. I saw a TV flash breaking news, and the anchor declared that Cuba was free from communism and that the dictatorship had been removed. Suddenly, the scene changed, and I found myself in Cuba; but a Cuba transformed, liberated from communism and pulsating with newfound freedom. The entire nation was in the midst of a great revival, with thousands turning their hearts to Jesus. I stood preaching at a massive crusade, and all around me, miracles were breaking out. The communist sickle had been turned into a harvest sickle, and multitudes were responding to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

You could see freedom etched into every street corner. The endless queues for rationed goods were gone, replaced by bustling markets overflowing with color and produce. But the most profound change was in the people’s posture. The guarded shoulders and downward glances of a surveillance state had lifted. People met each other’s eyes directly, spoke freely, and embraced without fear. Hammer and sickle murals were being washed away, replaced by paintings of soaring doves, crosses, and the word Libertad. In every plaza, Bibles were openly shared.

The political freedom was merely the ground being tilled for a spiritual harvest of historic magnitude. The hunger for God exploded into the open with volcanic force. The revival was not a single event but a national movement, flowing across the island. I could see spontaneous baptisms happening in fountains and makeshift pools. Former Communist Party officials stood with tears streaming down their faces, confessing their sins and renouncing their ideology before crowds. Santería priests publicly burned their idols and divination tools, declaring Jesus Christ was alive.

I then awoke suddenly, feeling as though I had actually lived the dream out.
