Every once in a while I see threads on dreams and interpretations. I don't know how I get dreams. Nor do I know what my soul does when my body is in sleep. Knowledge about these belong to the wise. I am an unwise, but I would like to share what I have learned through my dreams and visions with other believers.
Rarely dreams and visions reveal a truth outside the bible. Once in a while I learned something new from a dream. Then, I come across a bible passage that explains the previous dream or vision.
Dreams and visions explain the truth that I failed to understand from reading the words. And I fail to understand the words because I lack obedience and thanksgiving.
Which is greater, then, a commandment of Jesus or a dream? Which is a greater loss, lack of obedience to Jesus' commands or lack of dream interpretation?
I want to receive more dreams and visions from the Lord because they are messages from him. But more than that, I want to obey his commands in the bible, "Forgive," "Repent," "Love your neighbor," "Give up all your possessions," "Take up your cross and follow me," "Pray day and night for righteousness," "Be humble as I am humble." These are Lord's messages of utmost importance, and I yearn to be able to obey all.
If the Lord gave me a choice between many dreams/visions and obedience to a single command, I would gladly choose the latter: Be an imitator of Paul.
I want my brothers to seek more dreams and visions from the Lord. But more than that I ask my brothers to seek obedience to the written commands of the Lord. I hope I did not speak beyond my understanding.
