This is a dream I need help with.

It starts with me looking down at a life size board game (I think the game was life, because it had that spinning thing on the board)

Next I'm in a tunnel that is kinda going on an slight incline upward. It's not dark in the tunnel.

As I travel up through this tunnel, these spheres start coming down, like obstacles of some sort. It felt like EXTREME ELIMINATION (a TV show) There were about three of them keeping me from reaching the top, but I got past them.

When I got to the top (no more spheres) I noticed a man working. He said to me "Those things are filthy". I looked down and noticed that I had a cigarrett in my hand. I looked to the left and there was a corridor which looked like an extension of the tunnell, but level (not on an incline) and it looked safe. I looked to the right and there was this waste dump area. I went over to this area, which opened to a land of desolation. I stomped the cigarett out and went back to where the man was.

It was understood that at this point I was to continue down the corridore that was to the left, which I say again, was level.

This ends my dream as I woke up.

Your dream seems to say that indeed the road to true life in Christ is an a uphill battle, not easy and there are obstacles that hinder a Christian from reaching their goal...Jesus and His best for them! Even demonic weapons may be sent to try and eliminate a Christian, yet their Lord guides and gives them victory! (You got past all the obstacles.)

A cigarette could indicate some type of addiction that may be keeping you from experiencing even higher heights in the spirit:confused: You stomping out the cigarette would signify your submissiveness to the voice of wisdom and your going back to the man could symbolize eagerness for your next assignment that will surely be issued as you keep obeying! :D

Another word for cigarette is a drag and could be an exhortation to not lose your spiritual fervor. Where twas level, options were a waste dump and a land of desolation, meaning don't even consider letting roots grow there. Don't get complacent after a breakthrough, but keep pressing on and upward for more LIFE!

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

1 Corinthians 9:29 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. http://www.enterhisgates.com/

Philippians 3:14 ...press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Hebrews 12:1-2 ...lay aside every weight...which so easily ensnares...and...run with endurance the race...looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Background...The dreamer had a neighbour who he had been witnessing to faithfully, yet the neighbour, who was in and out of jail, on drugs etc., kept denying Christ. The neighbour ended up taking his own life and the dreamer had this dream after he found out about his neighbor's demise.

I heard a slapping sound, the only thing I can liken it too is that of someone making a fist and hitting it in the open palm of their other hand. The sound stopped but I wondered what it was. I listened carefully and heard mumbling and the slapping sound again. I got up out of bed and walked down the hall, following the voice and slapping sound. As I approached my son’s (who is 13 years old) door to his bed room, I heard a voice clearly reciting a scripture from the bible “Love your Lord with all your heart mind and soul” then I heard the slapping sound and voice saying “that’s not right”, “that’s a lie”, “don’t believe that”. I slowly opened the door to my son’s room and saw him laying on what I would liken to a physical therapy table, four wooden legs and a gray vinyl padded cover on the top. My son apparently did not have any pants on because his legs were bare. Standing in front I saw the back of a man, dressed in a black robe like that a judge would wear, holding a book in his left hand. I became very angry almost to the point of loosing control and I yelled at the man, what do you think your doing, leave my son alone and get out of my house.

The man turned and looked at me, the man was olive colored skinned, had big dark eyes and a big mouth and big ears, I never saw this man before in my life. As the man looked at me, I fell to my knees and could not get back on my feet, my legs were frozen. The man then, turned back around and started saying the scripture; love you neighbor as yourself and saying again that’s not right, that’s a lie and a saw him punching my sons legs with his right hand while he was saying what he said, I saw my sons legs were all red and welted from this man punching them. And I screamed: Good Lord help me, stop it now, leave my son alone and get out of my house.

The man turned around and looked at me again, this time I fell from my knees, face first on the floor and could not move. I sensed the man was over top of me and felt like the pressure of two fingers at the base of the back of my head where my neck attaches to my skull. And I yelled with the loudest voice I could muster, without causing more pressure to the back of my head: By the power of my Lord Jesus Christ, get out of my house and never return again. I felt the pressure on the base of my head release, I then heard the unique sound of the front door open and close, I then woke up, went and checked on my son, he was sound asleep in bed.

We have a wooden heart on the front door that says: Welcome Friends and each time the door closes one can not mistake the sound of the wooden heart as it hits up against the front door, this is how I know the man left. I didn’t actually see the man leave but heard him, because I could not move my head. This dream is perhaps one of the oddest I have ever had; I sure wanted to beat this man. But couldn’t because the binding power of this man to first bring me to my knees and then face first on the floor, so much so that I could not move. The odd thing that still sticks in my mind was this man never said a word directly to me, yet caused me to fall to my knees and on my face by just looking at me. Even more so, why was my son just lying there, why didn’t he scream for help, why didn’t he get up off the table?

I sure am thankful to our Lord Jesus Christ the man left.

Surmising this dream seems to be about your neighbor that just did himself in. Your son could represent Jesus, God's Son! To your neighbor, you were a living testimony of loving God with all your heart, mind, and soul and loving your neighbor as yourself. Yet he continued to deny Christ's love for him, symbolized by the welts on your son's legs, the Son's legs. The four wooden table legs could be a symbol of the four gospels, the authors being eye-witnesses of Jesus and pillars of the New Testament that your neighbor was also standing against. The gray vinyl pad could be a symbol of the man's indifference to personally recognize the cost of Jesus' sacrifice and to all that he heard through you. The voice in your dream was obviously the devil, the father of lies, who deceived your neighbor into refusing the truth of Christ's love for him, even though you were a living witness to him. The two fingers on your neck show that the devil has the power to kill, as does it reveal the power of the strong man; he certainly had a hand in the death of your neighbor.

Through the passing of your neighbor, the enemy may try to convince your kids that the 2 Greatest Commandments are lies because you did love God and your neighbor, yet he didn't respond to Christ. Reaffirm to your kiddies that it was because of being messed up by drugs etc that opened the door for a stronghold of demonic deception in your neighbor's life and caused his premature death...his continual denial of Jesus and then subsequently passing away is certainly a testimony that your neighbor chose wrongly in how he lived and in what he believed.

Your son, the Son, didn't call out for help could represent Jesus, who answered not those that reviled Him. Furthermore, what else could He say to your neighbor who so vehemently kept denying Him and the reality of His love over and over again?

Also, the welts on your son's legs, the Son's, could indicate that you may feel beat up about your Christian walk and witness. Yet understand it wasn't you, nor your witness that was the issue. Your neighbor was rejecting Christ, not you.

Here are some applicable Bible verses:

Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth.

Luke 10:18-20 And He said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Luke 11:21-22 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

John 10:7-11, 27-29 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep...My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

1 John 4:1-6 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

[size=+0][size=+0][size=+0][size=+0][size=+0]Revelation 12:10-11 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony...

Praise the Lord for the gift He has given you! I have been very blessed reading this thread! My turn. When I was about 9 years old I had a vision. (My background at the time---raised in the Mormon church, in an abusive, unloving home, but when I was 33, I was finally born again). This will be really long, so I apologize, but I can't leave anything out. I do know and understand some of why I was given this vision and the meaning of most of it, but I wonder if the Lord would perhaps open up some meanings and messages I may have missed.

I was standing in a beautiful meadow of singing pansies. There was a rainbow arching over all and it had a melody too. They all seemed to be singing, so was the grass, everything was singing! The colors were so intense and beautiful. The pansies were smiling at me (they're my favorite flower ever since) and I thought of picking one. Then I heard a very loud, strong, commanding voice behind me call my name. I was terrified! I turned around and there was a huge light. It was not the sun, it was far whiter, bigger and brighter. It spoke to me again and told me not to fear, to come closer, so I did and my fear melted as He told me He is my Father in heaven and He wanted me to stay a while to learn and be shown some very important things. The Light was literally eternal! As I looked into the Light, there was no end to it. As I looked, Jesus came out of the Light and stood to the right of the Light (left side from my viewpoint). More talking, I forget lots of what the Father said, but I know He told me about my future.

Then Jesus and I walked through the meadows and came upon all sorts of animals, rabbits, squirrels,... To my amazement, they all came right up to Him, the birds landed on His hands. We went into a forest, but there were no shadows, only light was everywhere. We then sat on a very thick, very green mossy bank by a little stream of clear water. In the water were little round white pebbles. The water praised God and even the pebbles were happy to be where they were. (I somehow "knew" this.) Jesus was on my left and we just sat there without talking, for a long time. Just enjoying each other's company. I couldn't stop looking at Him. Hi beautiful, loving face, His hair was alive! Every strand was like a strand of golden light. He was wearing a white robe with a golden belt and gold trim on the neckline, sleeve ends and hem. He just loved me!!! He and I were communicating with our minds, I suddenly realized. He showed me His hands....I saw His scars! O Jesus! They are so awful and yet so incredibly beautiful. How He suffered! I asked Him why He died on the cross. As a mormon child, I knew nothing about the reason for the cross, who Jesus was... so He explained it all to me! Sin, to the Father's will, the Jewish authorities, the Romans...everything and He said if He had to, He would do it again!

After this Jesus took me to a big white marble (?) palace that had a very wide area with a railing around it. Jesus took me to one part of the railing and said He would leave me there for a little while, but He would return. As I waited for Him, I got curious and looked over the railing. I saw the poeple on the earth. The whole earth is covered with a dark shadow, a darkness really. I was close enough to see people's faces and hear their conversations, but most amazingly, I could hear what was in their minds. Couples who were arguing and I heard their inner hurt and need for understanding. Parents and children,...Of the fighting, the hurting, the sadness,...it was so awful and sad. I made up my mind right then and there that I didn't want to go back to earth! When Jesus came back, I turned around and there were many people waiting to talk to me. They seemed to be wearing the clothing from their eras ( different times) and walks of life (Long puffy gowns, an old farmer with leather boots, a vest,...) One by one I talked with each one and each one gave me advice and counsel. I can't remember any specifics, just their urgency and seriousness.

Then Jesus and I went into the palace and He took me into a room where there was a man (or an angel?) dressed in white, standing in front of sort of a podium on which was a large open book. I asked what this book was and the man showed it to me. I saw name after name and then as I watched, names appeared. He told me it was the Book of Life. I asked if I was in it and he said no, not yet. I was very upset and anxious to get into that book and it was explained to me.

Then Jesus and I were somewhere else and He and I stood in front of a stone table (looked like an altar I'd say) and He showed me many future things in my life. He told me about my first great love (J) and the baby we would have ( I was teen mom), but that even though I loved this man very much, it was not God's will for us to marry. That made me sad. Then He showed me a map of Canada and told me my husband's name (really!) it's a name I'd never heard before, so it really stuck with me. He told me how my husband lives in another province and would come to mine, we'd meet and marry. Imagine my shock when I actually met him when I was 26 and he told me his full name! Now, the Lord showed me more, but I don't feel at liberty to share this out in the open, because some of these things haven't happened in my life yet and they trouble me greatly. Maybe I can PM you? As there are dreams and revelations that relate to these personal events and it would be better to tell you in one lot.

Back to my vision. The longer I was with Him through the vision (which seemed like several days), the more His LOVE overwhelmed me! I didn't think I could bear the strength, the power, the totality of it, but I did, and it just got stronger. Then Jesus and I were back in the meadow. We were soon surrounded by many, many little animals of all descriptions. Then in the very centre of all the animals, there was a fawn. I petted it's warm spotted body, it's black nose. All the animals surrounded this fawn, which seemed to be very special. Then Jesus told me I needed to go back and I begged Him to stay with Him, but I saw a Bible and He told me this was the way to know how to come back to Him forever. Then it was over. Some things in the vision seemed to have significance at the time I saw them. Some I understand from scripture, but some I don't: the pebbles, the pansies, the animals, the people on earth and on the "balcony", the fawn. Anything else? God bless you!

Mayah! Soooooooooo glaaaaaaaaaaad you enjoying yourself here! :D Certainly, appreciate you posting such a wondrous experience! :hug: Here you go...interpreted by sections...with more to come...

***I was standing in a beautiful meadow of singing pansies. There was a rainbow arching over all and it had a melody too. They all seemed to be singing, so was the grass, everything was singing! The colors were so intense and beautiful. The pansies were smiling at me (they're my favorite flower ever since) and I thought of picking one.***

Since a meadow is such a wide open space would symbolize being in a place of Divine revelation and that you certainly were! ;) Pansy is a word coming from from Old French pensee, meaning thought, remembrance; pansy, from feminine past participle of penser, to think. Being pensive, deeply, often wistfully or dreamily thoughtful; suggestive or expressive of melancholy thoughtfulness. As well, another name for a pansy is a heart's ease, meaning peace, tranquility of mind, serenity. Plus a pansy can be referred to as a love-in-idleness, a term involving courtship and giving God due gratitude and reverence. So summarizing all that, maybe you were concerned about your future, yet Jesus was putting your heart at ease, exhorting you will have muchhhhhhh to rejoice about! As was He courting you into relationship with Himself and He did tell you of your future marriage partner! (GLORY TO GOD MOST HIGH!) The singing pansies and grass, with their intense and beautiful flowers, would symbolize the abundant life that Christ promises you and He will fulfill His Word! :holy: The arching rainbow over all would symbolize God making a covenant with you to watchover you all your days!

Applicable Bible verses:

Genesis 9:15-16 I will remember My covenant between Me and you and all living creatures of every kind...Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.

Psalm 23:1-3 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. (I read that paths of righteousness are predetermined paths!)

Psalm 121:7-8 The LORD will keep you from all harm-He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Isaiah 55:11-12 So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Jeremiah 29:11-14 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the LORD...

Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

John 15:15-17 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name. This is My command: Love each other.

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

***Then I heard a very loud, strong, commanding voice behind me call my name. I was terrified! I turned around and there was a huge light. It was not the sun, it was far whiter, bigger and brighter. It spoke to me again and told me not to fear, to come closer, so I did and my fear melted as He told me He is my Father in heaven and He wanted me to stay a while to learn and be shown some very important things.

More talking, I forget lots of what the Father said, but I know He told me about my future.***

These Bible verses confirm what you saw and heard...

Job 37:4-5 After that comes the sound of His roar; He thunders with His majestic voice. When His voice resounds, He holds nothing back. God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; He does great things beyond our understanding.

Isaiah 26:3-4 You will keep in perfect peace Him whose mind is steadfast, because He trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

Isaiah 43:1 But now, this is what the LORD says- He who created you, O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are Mine.

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 14:20-21, 23 On that day you will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. Whoever has My commands and obeys them, He is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I too will love Him and show myself to Him...Jesus replied, If anyone loves Me, He will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

1 Timothy 6:11-16 But you...pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, which God will bring about in His own time--God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To Him be honor and might forever. Amen.

Revelation 21:23-24 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.

I used to have lots of dreams about trains. Most of the time having a hard time getting on the right one. But not just getting on the wrong ones, but just a lot to do with trains.

I even remember about 3 years ago, getting on one that wasn't moving, and in the back of one of the cars was a dead person, all bloody.

Any word on these types of dreams?

***Then Jesus and I walked through the meadows and came upon all sorts of animals, rabbits, squirrels...To my amazement, they all came right up to Him, the birds landed on His hands.***

Jesus is LOVE! The animals knew that He wouldn't harm them! :D

Isaiah 11:6-9 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

***We went into a forest, but there were no shadows, only light was everywhere. We then sat on a very thick, very green mossy bank by a little stream of clear water. In the water were little round white pebbles. The water praised God and even the pebbles were happy to be where they were. (I somehow "knew" this.)***

Encouraged is a joyful submission to God's trustworthiness (no shadows) and Sovereignty (pebbles happy where they were Divinely placed). Since the bank was very mossy and moss takes much time to grow, this could imply to practice an ongoing cheery acceptance of Divinely orchestrated circumstances that may last a long time. To bloom where you are planted. Found this nugget on the white pebbles...as in the phrase 'pebbles on a beach', means the same as 'more than one fish in the sea'...which would apply to your first love (J), yet was God's Will for you to marry someone else.

Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Revelation 22:1 And He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

***Jesus was on my left and we just sat there without talking, for a long time. Just enjoying each other's company. I couldn't stop looking at Him. His beautiful, loving face, His hair was alive! Every strand was like a strand of golden light. He was wearing a white robe with a golden belt and gold trim on the neckline, sleeve ends and hem. He just loved me!!! He and I were communicating with our minds, I suddenly realized. He showed me His hands....I saw His scars! O Jesus! They are so awful and yet so incredibly beautiful. How He suffered! I asked Him why He died on the cross. As a mormon child, I knew nothing about the reason for the cross, who Jesus was... so He explained it all to me! Sin, to the Father's will, the Jewish authorities, the Romans...everything and He said if He had to, He would do it again!***

To sit for a long time in a delightful quietness of just being together...you couldn't stop looking at Him...communicating with your minds, all speaks about the magnetism of Divine love! Jesus' hair being alive could refer to His joie de vivre, such joy for life! His white robe, a symbol of His purity, His holiness; golden belt and trim of His preciousness, righteousness, and majesty. As is revealed the depth of Christ's love and of His character that He would suffffffffffffffer the Cross again, if He had to!

1 Chronicles 29:11 Thine, O LORD is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

Psalm 37:4 Delight thyself also in the LORD: and He shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Psam 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth.

Jeremiah 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

Luke 24:17 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Romans 5:8-11 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

***After this Jesus took me to a big white marble palace that had a very wide area with a railing around it. Jesus took me to one part of the railing and said He would leave me there for a little while, but He would return. As I waited for Him, I got curious and looked over the railing. I saw the people on the earth. The whole earth is covered with a dark shadow, a darkness really. I was close enough to see people's faces and hear their conversations, but most amazingly, I could hear what was in their minds. Couples who were arguing and I heard their inner hurt and need for understanding. Parents and children...Of the fighting, the hurting, the sadness...it was so awful and sad. I made up my mind right then and there that I didn't want to go back to earth! When Jesus came back, I turned around and there were many people waiting to talk to me. They seemed to be wearing the clothing from their eras (different times) and walks of life (Long puffy gowns, an old farmer with leather boots, a vest...) One by one I talked with each one and each one gave me advice and counsel. I can't remember any specifics, just their urgency and seriousness.***

Even though you didn't want to go back to earth, Jesus sent you "there for a little while", but He will Return! The dark shadow is the enemyYou were given a bird's eye view, a heavenly perspective, of what Jesus sees and hears! Railing as a verb means to express objections or criticisms in bitter, harsh, or abusive language, thus the fighting that you saw. As did you hear peoples' innermost thoughts and hurts...exactly what Christ hears! The people from different eras giving you advice show that Divine principles stand the test of time and how much nearer now is the end of the age than it was then.

John 14:1-6 Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know...Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Hebrews 4:12-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

1 John 5:19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

***Then Jesus and I went into the palace and He took me into a room where there was a man (or an angel?) dressed in white, standing in front of sort of a podium on which was a large open book. I asked what this book was and the man showed it to me. I saw name after name and then as I watched, names appeared. He told me it was the Book of Life. I asked if I was in it and he said no, not yet. I was very upset and anxious to get into that book and it was explained to me.***

Revelation 21:22-27 But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

***Then Jesus and I were somewhere else and He and I stood in front of a stone table (looked like an altar I'd say) and He showed me many future things in my life. He told me about my first great love (J) and the baby we would have ( I was teen mom), but that even though I loved this man very much, it was not God's will for us to marry. That made me sad. Then He showed me a map of Canada and told me my husband's name (really!) it's a name I'd never heard before, so it really stuck with me. He told me how my husband lives in another province and would come to mine, we'd meet and marry. Imagine my shock when I actually met him when I was 26 and he told me his full name! Now, the Lord showed me more, but I don't feel at liberty to share this out in the open, because some of these things haven't happened in my life yet and they trouble me greatly. Maybe I can PM you? As there are dreams and revelations that relate to these personal events and it would be better to tell you in one lot.***

Am awestruck about what Jesus told you of your future! Please do pm me! Would be glad to help you decipher more of your dreams!

Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be.


Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.


Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders...and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.


***The longer I was with Him through the vision (which seemed like several days), the more His LOVE overwhelmed me! I didn't think I could bear the strength, the power, the totality of it, but I did, and it just got stronger. Then Jesus and I were back in the meadow. We were soon surrounded by many, many little animals of all descriptions. Then in the very centre of all the animals, there was a fawn. I petted it's warm spotted body, it's black nose. All the animals surrounded this fawn, which seemed to be very special. Then Jesus told me I needed to go back and I begged Him to stay with Him, but I saw a Bible and He told me this was the way to know how to come back to Him forever. Then it was over.***

Fawn as a verb means to exhibit affection; attempt to please; seek favor of through submission, so surmising Jesus exhorting you to make Him the centre of your life, your affections and to please Him, seek His favor! Fawn is also a young deer and a deer speaks to me of both stillness and being fleet footed. Meaning take time to be still in Jesus' presence, just like you were above...enjoying quietness with Him...and then you will be even more surefooted! The following Bible verses explain more as to what you experienced!

Psalm 18:32-33 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places.

Psalm 42:1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.


Psalm 46:1 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!


Luke 10:38-42 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."

Colossians 3:1-2 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Revelation 22:7 "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

I used to have lots of dreams about trains. Most of the time having a hard time getting on the right one. But not just getting on the wrong ones, but just a lot to do with trains. I even remember about 3 years ago, getting on one that wasn't moving, and in the back of one of the cars was a dead person, all bloody.
Have read that a train tends to symbolize a wonderful work of the Holy Spirit, plus spiritual diligence, consistency. Maybe you had such tough times getting on the right one could show when you were uncertain as to direction in what you'd like to do for God. The immobile train with the dead person could symbolize a dead work, a work of the flesh, not anointed with the powerful shed blood of Christ.

Ok here goes.... I'm on a plane with several other people. Suddenly something shatters and several people are cut (not badly it seems) including myself. I have a large piece of glass in my thigh but it doesn't hurt. I realize though that I have many pieces of glass embedded in my tongue and I have to swish to get the pieces out, I couldn't use my hands to do it for some reason....it didn't hurt so much as it felt so wierd and I was so cautious not to cut myself. It was a wierd dream.

Well, a plane tends to symbolize a ministry and your dream seems to describe a ministry under attack, maybe by a verbal assault of criticism:confused: The large piece of glass in your thigh could reveal a scheme, such as discouragement through words, to hinder your Christian walk, though TY JESUS you are unaffected by it! The pieces of glass embedded in your tongue could symbolize that you may have had choice, stinging words for those that came against you, yet you didn't answer back, didn't return reviling for reviling, which would have caused you more emotional pain. Your swishing and caution could be akin to carefully washing your speech with the water and grace of God's Word!

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

1 Peter 2:21-24 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow His steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth: who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judgeth righteously: who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

I think that's pretty good. I've been under huge spiritual attack from a family member. This family member (in my opinion has a demon as a result of being involved in a false relgion) will begin screaming profanities at me that are unprovoked and out of nowhere. I can't make any sense of his behavior and I've been praying for God's protection often as well as this person's ability to see that if the "truth" is really in his beliefs, he wouldn't be as violently angry as he is. Yes, I've been very upset about this because his words hurt and I haven't even seen him in such a long time because he has been living in India as a result of his religion for the 7 years....but at the same time I praise God to know what's going on. He must be reacting to the Spirit in me....

Hugggggggggs rainbowprism!

Do take much heart! Have read that when the battle at its hottest, victory is nigh! :D

Read more in 1 Peter...speaks of patiently enduring unjust mistreatment...God sees that as commendable! May these Bible verses help to further encourage you...:hug:

Exodus 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

2 Chronicles 20:15-17 And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's. To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness.

Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Ephesians 6:10-13 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

This isn't my dream, but one I did interpret...

***I was walking along the street when I saw this dog catcher going from house to house. I decided to go along ahead of him and warn people of his coming. The only two houses I remember were very odd. The doorway to each one looked like the front of a curio cabinet. On the shelves were all sorts of trinkets, like old watches, etc. almost like these items described their lives. I knocked on the first cabinet and this gentlemen answered (you could see this huge room behind him...the door of the cabinet was not what the rest looked like.) He started telling me about his life and that he was here waiting to meet his girlfriend. I got the impression that he was either cheating on his wife or had been divorced and was hoping at another chance at life. I asked him if he had any animals and he said no. The second cabinet was set up similar but with different trinkets. A woman answered when I knocked and she said she had several dogs but she would just hide them from the catcher (which was coming closer and closer as I talked to her). I told her that that wouldn't be possible as the dogs would make noise but she didn't agree with me and was going to take her chances.***


***I was walking along the street when I saw this dog catcher going from house to house. I decided to go along ahead of him and warn people of his coming.***

This is neighbors looking out for one another...warning them to ensure that their dogs are tied up, so as not to get impounded by the catcher and having to pay major dollars to get their pet returned. In the spiritual, this would symbolize being a watchman for peoples' souls! Witnessing to them of CHRIST's imminent SECOND COMING! Warning them to be ready...also to NOT be deceived by false christs, teachers, and prophets.

***The only two houses I remember were very odd. The doorway to each one looked like the front of a curio cabinet. On the shelves were all sorts of trinkets, like old watches, etc. almost like these items described their lives.***

The curio cabinet represents peoples' hearts and what's in the cabinet is everything they dearly treasure on earth...heirlooms, expensive souvenirs from travelling etc. that would tell the foreign places they have visited and what they have done...showing their mindset of 'my personal value' is in what I own (materialism) and what I have done, instead of finding their identity in CHRIST, who would give them priceless worth for who they are and not what they do.

Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Luke 12:15...for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

1 Timothy 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

***I knocked on the first cabinet and this gentlemen answered (you could see this huge room behind him...the door of the cabinet was not what the rest looked like.) He started telling me about his life and that he was here waiting to meet his girlfriend. I got the impression that he was either cheating on his wife or had been divorced and was hoping at another chance at life. I asked him if he had any animals and he said no.***

The huge room could represent how countless people have cheated on their spouse (in a search for love, passion, excitement), resulting in divorce. So then they expect a new lease on life with this other man or woman...except they get promptly dumped and are left alone...with no one to come home to...as someone living by themselves with no family, nor pets. These people would be desperate for JESUS!


***The second cabinet was set up similar but with different trinkets. A woman answered when I knocked and she said she had several dogs but she would just hide them from the catcher (which was coming closer and closer as I talked to her). I told her that that wouldn't be possible as the dogs would make noise but she didn't agree with me and was going to take her chances.***

Surmising the different trinkets symbolize habitual sins and are intangible. Some people would be both comfortable with and unwilling to part with pet sins, so they erroneously think they can hide their sins from JESUS and from others, even though their sin is more than obvious to all around them. There may be personal sins that others know not of and people may try to hide those from the all encompassing spotlight of CHRIST, which isn't possible to do. Though with every passing day, CHRIST's SECOND COMING draws nearer and nearer, many may not believe HE really is coming back in their lifetime. So they prefer to live in what they call 'freedom' though what the Bible deems licentiousness and sinful. They do not understand the importance of being accountable for how they live in the now, nor how that will affect them in the life hereafter.

John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Matthew 24, the whole chapter, is a good summary of this dream...here is an excerpt...

Matthew 24:30-36 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When His branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

Your dream is a heads up about the urgency for the Body of Christ to fulfill the Great Commission, as well as a sign that the field of souls is ripe for harvesting and of the utter spiritual depravity of some.

Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Luke 10:1-2 After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before His face into every city and place, whither He Himself would come. Therefore said He unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into His harvest.

Luke 15:4-7, 10 What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it? And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance...Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

James 5:20 ...he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to dreams and what not, but let me tell you about a pretty intense dream I had last night and see what you think of it.

I was at a service in an unfamiliar church. The building was sort of an older one. Not dilapidated, but constructed of wood in an older style. Off to one side of the sanctuary there was a doorway into another, smaller room with three steps leading up to the door, like porch steps, and I was standing in the doorway watching what was going on in the smaller room. Both rooms had quite a number of people in them, but the smaller room seemed to be a little crowded, but not bad. Over at the other side of the room away from me was an average looking guy and he was preaching. The people in the room started to really get into what this guy was saying and started voicing their agreement and pointing at him. It wasn't wild out of control but it was getting more enthusiastic. I could feel what I thought was the Holy Spirit drawing me into what was going on and I turned to the people in the other sanctuary and said "Man, are you seeing what's going on here?". The next thing I know me and some woman are being called up to this guy to get his "blessing" and when we get there this guy puts one arm around me and one around the woman and pulls us up against his chest but suddenly now he is so much taller than me that my feet are dangling off the ground. He speaks into my ear so nobody else can hear and he calls me "Thon", then he says "give me something". At that instant I realize that this guy is a false prophet, because he should have been giving something to me instead of me giving to him, and I tell him exactly that, and at the same time I now get him in a bear hug, and he really freaks out but I've got him and there is nothing he can do. I knew that I had complete control over him. I keep telling him that "no, you are supposed to give me something" and he is struggling and all his disciples are freaking out and running away.
Needless to say, this was not your run of the mill happy-go-lucky dream.

So, what do you think?

Grace, Mercy, and Peace,
Asaph

Your dream is certainly a lesson in discernment. A false prophet can have the outward appearance of righteousness in speech, plus charisma to stir up peoples' emotions, making them feel good, comfortable, and easily led into believing they hearing truth, in addition to influencing others to join in. You were drawn into the room, as have many others been deceived by false teaching because of the speakers' and the electric atmosphere they create. Being pulled to the false prophet's chest could symbolize God showing you his heart, one of selfish ambition and intimidation, as he was trying to strong arm you into giving him something. You were able to overpower him because of the integrity in your Christian walk! The imposter wrestled and his disciples fled because what fellowship has light with darkness?

Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

That's pretty much what I thought too. I tried to include as much detail as I could remember in case you saw anything symbolic. I am curious about the proper name "Thon" though. I did a bit of internet searching on it but could find nothing.

Also, at the end when I had this guy in a bear hug and wouldn't let loose, it was really pretty intense and was for awhile that I witnessed to him. I got the impression that I was not witnessing to him for his benefit, but for his condemnation. (I'm not really sure if that's a good way to describe it, but that's as close as I can get).

Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me.

Grace, Mercy, and Peace,
Asaph
