In the light of this dream, what should i do...?

My dream was this - people on earth catching hold of a long 'thread' like a line of light or gossamer that came from the sky - all holding on and a voice said 'salvation for the kingdom of heaven on earth'. I tried to hold on to the thread but it slipped out of my hand. It was like i was too 'heavy' to go up to heaven and the thread floated in the air towards a short line of other people wanting to go up.
Then i saw a picture of me on the ground holding on to a separated piece of the thread with the other hand which was joined to other people. I thought they would be saved too by telling them to hold on. I was trying to understand what was happening in the dream and i called out to my husband, who i am separated from (but who still has a lot of influence in my life - we share a son) - i called out to him about God or heaven (i can't recall exactly what i said but i was anxious about him).

I guess now the meaning might seem obvious - i've got to let go of other people??

I'm really struggling though with just living normally at the moment. I've been dependent on my husband for a long while and have had a long history of mental illness (used to be delusions - now hearing inner voices/thoughts which can be quite insistent and mistaken for God). I'm a lot better but my life skills are poor and i guess i'm quite a 'needy' person.

If i am to let go of other people - how, and how do i avoid making silly decisions which i've done in the past? I find making decisions really difficult. Does this dream mean that my salvation is in question or 'broken'?

In your letting people go, you need to be seeking God. God is calling you to a deeper relationship with Him and instead of relying on people who can pull you and lead you in the wrong direction all you need to do is very simple. Ask God what does He want you to do and obey. Will you miss it sometimes, probably. But that's okay, seek forgiveness, repent and move on. With the understanding that He is training you how to recognize His voice.

In your prayer time, pray for an obedient spirit, ears that hear and eyes that see.

And you need to be careful about the words you are speaking. Stop speaking that you have poor skills and that you are a needy person. Remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue.
Proverbs 18:21 (Amplified Bible)21Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

God Bless!

Iceflower,

Satan lies to us and tells us we "can't" or we're "not good enough" or "you'll never succeed," and he keeps us down and dependent and crippled emotionally because we believe his lies. God wants to expose his lies by replacing them with the truth. The truth is we are sinners, yes, but we can be saved by grace through faith. The truth is no one is "good enough" but when we are in Christ, all his righteousness dwells within us in the person of the Holy Spirit and we are made righteous in Christ. The truth is "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." The truth is "with God all things are possible." Of course this is talking about all things within his will and within his perfect character.

Satan likes to make us think we have no resources and that people can have power over us. I remember telling God one day a long time ago, "But God, you don't understand..." Ha! Of course he understands! He made me. He knows everything. But, I was convinced that He was somehow out of the loop and that he was not powerful enough to handle my circumstances. That was a lie of Satan. The truth is that God is all powerful, all knowing and there is not anything He can not handle. Nothing is too big for God!

The way to victory in your life over what keeps you down and what cripples you emotionally is to stop listening to the lies of Satan and to begin to put on the truth of God's word. I also use to fight Satan like an abused child hovering in the corner of the room with my arms crossed in front of me, but I learned that Christ already won! Satan likes to make us think there is some question yet as to who wins. There isn't! Jesus paid it all, all to him I owe. We have to fight Satan's lies with the sword of the Spirit - the Word of God and we have to fight proactively and offensively, not just defensively. We have to daily put on that spiritual armor to fight off Satan's attacks on our minds.

So, I would encourage you to sit before the Lord and ask him to show you all the lies you are believing and then begin to search the word of God asking the Lord to show you the truth that is in opposition to those lies and when Satan throws his darts at you, hit him with the Word, and outloud, too. And, sing songs of praise and victory, too. I have many, many songs I sing outloud when Satan is throwing his darts at me.

I am sending you to them to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
