UNITY IS GOLDEN
Experience Given to Wilson Castro

"There had been a misunderstanding at church between my
wife and a sister from our congregation. So my wife and
I went to the couple's house to discuss it. What began
as a civilized conversation, turned into a third world
war. I mean things got pretty ugly. There were things
bottled up inside of both parties that needed to be
brought out into the open. No one was spared. I myself
was furious and getting ready to bring out the big guns
when I suddenly realized that this friendship could not
end. We had a covenant relationship with each
other and therefore had no choice ... We would have to
work things out. Right about this time we all began to
run out of ammunition. It was time to forgive and make
up.
After making our peace with each other, we sat in a
circle to pray. That's when it happened ... above our
heads, out of nowhere, it rained gold dust upon all of
us. It was amazing! The sound was of someone pouring a
bucket of sand over us. Because our eyes were open we
saw the gold dust fall like grains of sand out of thin
air. I've seen gold dust before, but nothing like this.
The message was quite clear:
The Lord honors unity and forgiving hearts.
As I ponder on what happened that night I ask
myself what was so special about that particular
reconciliation? What was it that the Lord honored in our
hearts? I believe it was the determination from both
parties to keep the commitment we had with each other
and forgive. You see, we live in a world where
relationships are conditional and discardable. This is
the spirit of the world. The problem is, it has gotten
into the church. We don't believe in relationships
anymore. We've all been betrayed, disappointed or let
down in some degree so we're no longer willing to risk
getting hurt. We then go through life wearing
our friendly neighborhood masks and try to get along.
But that isn't commitment, that's diplomacy. We're a
family! Families fight. Families get on each others
nerves. Families laugh and cry together. They go through
good times and bad times together, but never let go.
That night we were a family and I believe that's what
pleased the Lord.
This afternoon I was reading "Heaven Awaits the Bride",
by Anna Rountree. There was a paragraph that called my
attention and which I believe confirms the golden dust
experience.
"Anna", He [Jesus] said finally, "divisions are
coming." He looked out over the hills. "For those
who embrace the fear of the Lord and follow His
precepts, His golden goodness will pour upon them.
(pg. 246)
She then writes as a footnote:
The Holy Spirit brings together those who
reverence the Lord God so they may encourage one
another in Christ. (Hb.3:13)
Isn't that amazing!
"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which
shall believe on me through their word; That they all
may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee,
that they also may be one in us: that the world may
believe that thou hast sent me."
(John 17:20,21)
Now here's a note about the gold dust. Some have asked
if it is biblical? Well, there is a Bible verse that
seems to fit the phenomenon. It's Psalms 68:13:
"When you lie down among the sheepfolds, You are like
the wings of a dove covered with silver, And
its feathers with glistening gold." (NASB).
We have experienced both silver and gold dust for a
couple of years now - sometimes appearing on people's
faces, hair and clothes and other times appearing
on objects. Signs that make you wonder (smile)."
