Dream from God Prompted Man to Record Video Before Death

Teresa Neumann : Dec 21, 2010  Reid Forgrave - The Des Moines Register

"God, I can't even do this. I wake up at 5 in the morning thinking I had this silly dream, and that I thought maybe this is God's way of telling me to do something about it. So I record this video, thinking it's stupid, a dumb idea, but I'm going to do it anyways. Because the Lord was telling me to do it."

REPORTER'S NOTE: This article resonated deeply with me on so many levels. I am a native Iowan and my cousin, who lived in the same area as this family, died an untimely and unexpected death at a very young age, leaving behind a widow and several children. After reading the three-part story, I must say I think this is perhaps the most moving report that I have come across in my years as a reporter for BCN. The back story—how Eric Jacobs acted on a dream from God—is incredible. The original report is lengthy, but riveting. Do read it. I know I, for one, will be paying closer attention to my dreams. -Teresa Neumann, BCN.

Jacobs Family(Des Moines, Iowa)—On November 13, 2006, Eric Jacobs died in a plane crash, leaving behind his pregnant wife, Heather, and four children. But there was a silver lining, if you can call it that, in a video Eric took earlier in the year when he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to get up after a dream and videotape his "last words" to his family.

Heather found the DVD two days after Eric's death.

As reported in The Des Moines Register, the video starts out with Eric saying: "Hello, everybody. If you're watching this, something bad's probably happened to me. I had this dream last night, or, this morning, only a few minutes ago, that I died early. And I don't know what to take of it. I don't know if this is God's way of saying, 'Record this,' and it was divinely inspired, or if I'm just paranoid. So I wanted to record my thoughts while I had them. And then if it was divinely inspired, then this is God's way of showing that he truly does work through people's lives. And I want you to show this to people to witness to them. Because my life was cut short."

Eric and the boys To his sons, Jacobs says: "I need you to pray, and pray often. Don't pray for me. I'm in a good place. I need you to pray for the people who don't know about it. I need you to pray that they may come to know the Lord." (Photo: Special to the Register)
