Discussion Dreams from GOD

[ARBITER01]

This discussion is not one based around or involving a lot of scripture, but mainly experiences.

After I was born again I immediately started to receive dreams from GOD on various topics. Most dreams were very, very vivid from Him. If I was an artist, I could have drawn each scene out,... they were that impressed upon my spirit, even after 10 or 15 years or more.

For me, I knew it was a dream from GOD by how realistic the scenes were. I would normally see myself in the dream watching a scene unfold involving me and something I could be going through. It was like a movie scene that GOD created to show me bits of the future involving myself. Most were warnings and insight, dealing with people or things coming my way that I need to know about, where I could pray over the situation ahead of time with GOD and change the outcome that I was shown. A lot are also informative, where I may have a question about something and GOD answers it, or GOD is showing me something about Himself that addresses something in His word that He wanted me to know and understand further.

All my dreams from GOD are black and white and very defined. If I'm not sure about a dream, or it doesn't seem to make sense, I will ask GOD to remove it if it was not from Him, and it is gone almost right after I say that sort of prayer. I've had more than enough over the 30 years I've been with Him to realize the true from the false trying to infect me. They seem to always be based around the word of knowledge (current and past facts) and the word of wisdom (predictive events and the will of GOD).

I've never had a dream where I was confused about it and GOD would not explain it to me. Every time that I have ever asked about the understanding of a dream, He would explain bits and pieces of it till I understood the whole. Obviously I'm not reliant upon the whole dream interpretation thing by folks, hence why I posted this here instead of the other forum section. If it is from GOD I don't need to depend on someone else to understand it, I can just go to Him.

Ive had a number of dreams over the years that I believed were prophetic on nature, or at very least dictating some kind of direction God was wanting me to go. They were usually very vivid and ultra realistic (as in I didnt know I was dreaming until I woke up).

Admittedly, I lost some faith in my understanding of said dreams when things fell apart, but perhaps I just misunderstood. God can still bring these things to pass I suppose. This is an area I want and desire to grow in

Twice, prior to conversion and over the span of a few years, I awoke speaking out in a foreign tongue, or a strange language, from a large book opened on a pedestal or a lectern in front of a small audience that I could not see clearly. It really shook me. I was a professional hedonist at the time.

Its says "Dreams of God". Is this just a thread about dreams you go? Is it ok for others to post their dreams? Just basing this off another new thread and want to walk very softly. If its wrong I will come back and delete it..just tell me.

All this for me.... Use to go to this bible study ran by a grandmother and her husband. She prayed 4 hours a day.. oh you always saw Christ and so much power of God. You had a need she went right to the word read it prayed and it always happened. So many stories I was 15 at the time and I am 61 now. So at 15 I won't go into all of it but the key as to why it happened.. well a friend said the lord showed her something about me and her daughter so I wanted to see it. Yeah always want anything everything from my Father. So we start to pray and in the spirit for while and them my eyes started to really blink. I was standing in the back of this huge place had so many people all had their hands up everything was black but the people black but with a white outline. Like the stage up front me and the daughter all outlined. Anyway long story short I tell me mom and we saw awake the same exact thing. She saw it up front I saw it in back.

So I learned even back then to ask. So I called this grand mother and asked her. How she answered is how we all should. We should not talk as if out truth our personal belief is the real gospel. You talk about Christ the only way to the Father..praise GOD we can that. So I tell her what happened this how she answered "for me when ever God shows me something it never goes down and never has black in it". I was 15 and ever dream vision I have ever had never has back in it. Like my first dream very young...oh I LOVE THIS ONE. I saw myself with then I smiled really big and turned my head to the right looking up so I looked up. In this life I look up at the starts its black yet in this dream ooh so many stars it was so beautiful the color was like deep deep blue. From the right these angels came out flying across the sky had wings singing. That was so far the only time in my life I have heard music from heaven. Ever hear some one say or talk about music they heard from heaven and it sounded like there was instruments yet none? I don't mean in the back ground.. haha so hard.. oh never in my life... it was so beautiful.. they were singing.

At that time I never new some angels had wings. I called someone to pray I would get that dream back .. PLEASE pray haha. Never happened.. I still to this day ask Him. Had allot one was I was married and we young people were all praying and I see this square full of grass. The grass was so green and flowing back and forth then these huge stones just appeared everywhere. The point is every time the lord gives a dream or vision it never has black has gray never black. I truly never gave it another thought when she said God never shows her black. Fact there are no shadows in heaven and no black. This is what He shows me.

I will share about the one I told you where we both say the same thing and why it was not of God yet we were both praying and praying in the spirit. See my dad was very very mean I left home at 15 I think my bother a year or two before that. We were all at the table and bother gets up goes to his room.. my dad (step dad) goes right after him you hear screaming and next day he left home. So I asked my mom if I could leave I wanted to obey God. My girl friend parents said I could stay with them had room with her little bother. So why was the vision? Not of God? Well right after I moved in with them I am walking out of School and this car stops in the middle of the road ask "are you Danny so and so?" Yes the said "the lord says to run home". No clue who said that. After I moved out the grand mother who ever said a word to anyone tells me at that time the lord told her to tell me "run home'. See if its of God He always backs it up out of the mouth of 2 or three. And she never told anyone God told her that she knew how mean my dad was.. she was like a mother to me. That right there that she never obeyed God had a price in her life.

So I didn't listen which opens the door for the enemy. How many would think what they saw was of God?

Perhaps dreams such as these mentioned here are to prompt the dreamer to more zealously pursue the most high God?

Dreams/visions should foster a greater dependency on GOD. We can understand through these spiritual things that He has our concerns in the forefront and that He is there to help us.

We can sometimes be privy to aspects of His will that others are not yet.

 

[SavedByGrace3]

I had a very powerful dream when I was 17, just a few weeks after I was saved, (1971).
In short, I saw 10 houses.
It was not until 1993 that the Lord showed me what these houses represented. I was shown these 10 houses were Presidential Administrations. Starting a the 6th house the nation would enter a time of descending darkness, confusion and a valley of decision. By the 10th house the decision would be set, and course of action be determined.

1 Kennedy
2 Johnson
3 Nixon
4 Ford
5 Carter
6 Reagan > start of confusion and valley of decision
7 Bush1
8 Clinton
9 Bush2
10 Obama > decision set, course of action determined

I shared this dream on the internet in 1995 and it went around the world and has been shared with unknown millions. I have since written a book (now unpublished) on the dream. It is much more complicated and extensive than what I have shared here. It was actually a series of dreams, each adding more revelation to the original.
I knew during the 10th house, when the white house was lit up with rainbow colors, that the decision was set, and the course of action was determined. What we have seen in the last few years since is nothing compared to what is coming. Many prophecies say things are going to get better and that the nation will turn around and come back to God. No. It will not. The nation is corrupt and turned it's back on God. There are corrupt leaders, corrupt judges, corrupt laws. The nation is now under an antichrist spirit that will seek to destroy the church and all things good and wholesome. The decision is set. There will be pockets of believers who will stand with God and righteousness. Even under intense persecution they will not bow down to the hate and apostasy.

My biggest mistake regarding the dreams and visions is jumping the gun on interpretations. Generally speaking, I have learned not to try to interpret the things God has given me. He will interpret them when He gets ready. I have lost integrity when the bad interpretation became evident. Worse the dream/vision lost integrity.

 

[Jesus is my Superhero]

I recently have become familiar with Psalm 131: 1 and I apply it to myself.

Lord, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.

 

[Robert1849]

I've been in this for over 30 years and I safely say that no two people are the same regarding dreams and their interpretation of them. This is because our faith is one of relationship with Jesus and he walks with us according to his desires. Some just know what the dream means, others need to do a little searching and still I have seen many that require a group to wait on the Lord for interpretation. I've had many in my life, some have taken 20-plus years to unfold. Some are still waiting. But many took place very quickly and shocked the people around us. I agree with saving by grace 3, ten houses dream after reading. Not because of the words, but because of the presence of the Spirit in it.
