I had a vision/dream from God!
I have been praying every now and then that God would give me a dream.
Joel 2:28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
It was a simple dream. I saw my reflection in a mirror. My mouth was huge and my teeth were decayed and rotten. I remember them having such a green color and even having rigid bumps on them. The next morning I remeberred absolutley nothing of the dream, not even that I had one. But I did have a scripture stuck in my head
[bible]Psalms 5:9[/bible]
While getting ready for school and meditating upon this verse I suddenly very vividly, almost visually remembered the dream.

Psalms 5:9For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Have you been angry with or blasted anyone lately? Especially a brother or sister?

Mark 7:18-23
18 So He said to them, "Are you thus without understanding also? Do you not perceive that whatever enters a man from outside cannot defile him, 19 because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods?" 20 And He said, "What comes out of a man, that defiles a man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. 23 All these evil things come from within and defile a man."
NKJV

It may just mean that you need to go and reconcile yourself to a brother.

Agreeing that teeth could symbolize your speech and that the attitudes in your heart would influence the very words you choose. Green could symbolize envy. Dunno if that applies to you? The verse you quoted above could be a cautioning to not just say that you are a Christian, living superficially, but to be a Christian in heart and practice. :D God could also be showing you what your heart would be like without Jesus, so trust more in Him rather than depending on yourself!

Psalm 16:2 I said to the LORD , "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing."

Jeremiah 17:9-10 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

John 15:4-5 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

Romans 7:18-19 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
