Dream where Christ rejected me.

[Blaise N]

Hi everyone,

this is a short one,but I had a dream last night,it was totally confusing and all over the place.But at one part I remember,it may have been Jesus but it was totally random and confusing,but I remember saying I loved him but he rejected me.

I know dreams are completely illogical and insignificant,but I have a question,I love Jesus because of his kind character and because he loves me,and he is my only hope.Does Jesus love me?,Will he reject me?

 

[Pavel Mosko]

Be careful concerning dreams. Lots of Christians, especially Charismatics think all their dreams are spiritual and sent by God and they are not. Even in the Bible you do not see characters having prophetic dreams all the time. Miriam the sister of Moses, may be one of the few exceptions to that, but we really don't know hardly anything about her prophetic dreams other than God spoke to her through dreams.


Psychology was my first field of study as far as a career goes. And I studied dreams on at least 4 different times from my high school days, into Junior college, then after transferring to a state university, then into graduate school. The best researcher to cover dreams was Calvin Hall. He noted the biggest predictor of dreams is your waking life. Basically the stuff you do, think about, worry about etc.

For this reason, especially I caution people to not to read too much stuff into dreams because it often becomes a negative self fulfilling prophecy as far as issues of fear, pride etc. I will say, I have had some spiritual dreams, especially warnings of demonic attack etc. But this is an area to be somewhat circumspect about as far as discernment etc.

Do you believe Jesus Christ of Nazareth is God in the flesh?

This passage came to mind after reading your post
Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

YES

During your waking hours, especially in recent days, have you worried about Jesus not accepting you?

Sometimes

Sometimes

Then it's almost certain that the effect Pavel Mosko referred to is the cause of your dream. When we are awake, some thoughts, even fleeting ones of little consequence, can trigger something in the brain and then a version of it can come back to us in our sleep.

Jesus loves you ... and will not reject you.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

YES

Ok, then your dream has no meaning. He has made His home in you. Trust in this. Doubting will quench His Holy Spirit in you.
Be blessed.

Blaise,

Whether or not it's good or right, many other people can report having concerns similar to what you described. That's understandable since there is no way to "prove" supernatural mysteries. That's where faith comes in.

On that score, it sounds as if you really do have a strong faith but you just worry.

However, you really can forget about a dream being some sort of message from the spirit world. When it comes to that worry--the particular one that started off this discussion--you should just put it out of your mind; it's a natural phenomenon not unlike other tricks, etc. that our brains can play on us at times.

Hi Blaise,

I'm not going to weigh in on your specific experience but I will say I've gone through some horrendous dreams that I am convinced were demonic. My problem was that I was working too hard and had gotten away from my faith, and I left myself open to demonic oppression. I don't know if it's something going on beyond myself -- a friend of mine had reported similar occurrences in his life and in the lives of family members. It's possible I suppose. I do have to wonder if America at this time is under the influences of malevolent forces, moreso than in the past.

The nature of my oppression was as if to attack what little faith I had left and to convince me it was coming from God. Some of this was even coming from christian sources. Well, the good news is I fought against it and little by little, my faith was restored over a period of time, which is how I know it wasn't from God.

You shouldn't stop here. If I were you I would seek out a good church, a place which builds up your faith instead of attacking it.

Faith is something that grows. It starts with a mustard seed, but it has to go through multiple phases before it can set it roots down into the soil and send its shoot up into the air. All that's required is the mustard seed, and God will see that it eventually bears fruit. He doesn't need you and doesn't expect you to be perfect in faith.

Stand on the sure promises of scripture:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest".Matthew 11
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself". John 12

Hi.. first its not what any one says its what He said in His word. Who ever comes to Him He will not cast out. Now He found you and He said I will never leave you nor forsake you. That dream goes against the word of God.

He is not like man. No matter what we do.. that does no can not change His love for us. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. A GOD said that...

So rejoiced..well that was a lie from the enemy.. so flip it! Yes we can get dreams from the enemy.. visions. Alaways test the spirits.. its by the BLOOD OF JESUS we are washed and Jesus who came in the flesh... no demon no fallen angel will say that.

If we goof up.. repent do a 180..not a 360 get up dust off keep going KNOWING He loves you He is happy with you. See sin and doubt puts a wall between us and Him.. it pulls us away.. that Hurts Him to see what is happening to us. Why we pray about all things. Why we resist the devil and he HAS TO FLEE! PRAISE GOD!

 

[KitKat1230]

Pavel Mosko is right. Dreams are often simply our subconscious minds' absorption of our thoughts, worries, hopes, passions, fears, experiences, etc.

I've had a dream where I stabbed my aunt in the back with a knife in my family's main bathroom, even though I would never do something remotely like that in real life. I've had a dream where I spit out a green shooting star and got pinned to the ground by angry heifers at my dad's command. I've had dreams about trying to avoid toy spiders in stores. I've had dreams that are so disturbing or disgusting that I don't want to even think about them.

Dreams did sometimes have prophetic importance in the Bible, but I do not think this was a common phenomenon even then. Often, our dreams are just reflections of our thoughts and experiences, including the things we fear. And as someone who struggles with anxiety and OCD, I sometimes have scary or disturbing dreams that make me feel unsure about my morality or sanity.

Please don't worry. Jesus loves you and he will not reject you. Many people have dreams like these and it is not a sign of any depravity or future rejection.

God knows how many hairs are on your head! So He knows your struggle with your obsessive thoughts. Start your day everyday thanking Him for what He has done for you , give you salvation. This is certainly worth obsessing about! Doubting is a waste of your time. Blessings.

I'd throw it out and stand on Truth. This is Truth:
