God shows me the future in my dreams;

[bodymember]

I used to be an atheist. I can't pinpoint what it was that made me believe, but once I started reading the bible and trying to do what it says I started to get extremely vivid dreams that God wrote on my heart, and I started seeing the future in my dreams. I had a dream about God and ever since then every person I see without exception reminds me of the face I saw in the dream; he really did make us in his image, it was not a fancy way of saying that we are like him in some way. No, we look like him too, every one of us, and he is a being that wants to live among and communicate with his creation. I also had a dream that the holy spirit was descending on Jesus and he told me, "the holy spirit comes. That is what this world is all about."

Interesting story, thanks for sharing. I love dreams too, they can be very exciting. But you touched on a couple of points I'd like to comment on if you don't mind. You said you were an atheist and at some point you don't know how you became a believer. I think that's true for a lot of people.

It reminds me of the atheist position on not being able to believe or accept some thing they can not see or prove. The reason they are atheist. And for good reasons too. Until you consider how every thing really works.

Every thing we see, feel, taste, touch, hear, and think are the direct result of chemical reactions in our body. Alter that in any way and your perception of reality is altered. From joy, to sadness, love, hate, audible sounds, spectacular sights, reason, all of it, direct result of chemical reactions. So what is the truth? The absolute proof? Seeing is not proof, hearing is not proof, it can be an illusion. Take for example a schizophrenic who see's hallucinations and hears voices not there. To him they are real and are there!

So to my atheist friends I ask them, should they see a vision or meet Jesus Christ in person, and talks to them. Would they believe or think they have gone mad?

It's interesting that even during the time Jesus was alive and many witnessed all his great works and heard his words first hand, not all believe, in fact most did not. For some it only took saying the right thing, they were not impressed with the miracles but when some thing so profound was uttered by Jesus that made so much sense to them, that's all it took, and they believed. Others however including some of his apostles had to see it for themselves before they believed, they heard it all but still needed to see it.

Makes you wonder what it is that tips the scales for us?

You just reminded me of this by saying you were an atheist and become a believer some how. Sorry for the rant, it did make sense at the right moment

Well I also used to study the satanic bible, which is what turned me into an atheist. One night I woke up and saw illuminated heiroglyphs on my wall and went back to bed. Even after seeing that I came to reject both the devil and God completely. It all comes down to the Holy Spirit, demons and angels.

I was living in a house with a demon in it. The way I know it was a demon is it would pound on all corners of my house all night long every night and the second the sun would come up the pounding would stop. One night I was listening to an album in that house and one of the songs played twice. That has never happened before and has not happened since. Ever since that night I've been not just a believer, but one who knows. I guess I was just being lazy with the first post because this night sealed the deal for me. The really cool thing is that God has slowly been increasing my fear of him. It wasn't until I started seeing the future and seeing some really amazing things in my dreams that I started to change everything about myself. I've even had scars disappear.

I don't know what it is that makes people scoff but it has nothing to do with God not being real. I used to be a scoffer and I used to not believe in good or evil, then I started to love what was good and shortly after became a believer. Nobody goes into hell blindfolded. The shocking thing is that some choose hell and it is disguised as non-belief.

The world labels demons and demonic forces as diseases, mental disorders, and cancers because it does not know or recognize the Spirit of truth.

Interesting. I often wonder if the spirit of covetousness is a demon that bears the fruit of depression in us. And if we reject covetousness then the demon has no power. But its just a theory, i'm not married to the idea.

Every person on the planet will come to believe, whether it be on one's deathbed or not, and people will either choose hell (eternal death) or heaven (eternal life with a return to this planet to reign 1000 years with Jesus). Those who cry out in need of Jesus' love are blessed, because they will believe, fully. All bad things come from the demonic realm, even our own bodily death which we are subject to because of our fall. Call it what you want, but covetousness does not come from heaven and is of the devil. Society has taught itself to be blind to the truth and to not recognize the Holy Spirit, which loves you and is the only reason man is able to do anything good at all. Think about it, if there was a textbook in public high schools about the Holy Spirit and TV shows on every channel about people with miraculous powers coming from the Holy Spirit do you think people would be more prone to believe? Is it a mistake that after 2011 years there are people like me claiming that the truth has been deeply hidden and if we don't repent we be terrorized for eternity? Its not a mistake. Things that we try to explain, such as chemical reactions and physics, are simply God's will, who created the natural realm that so largely baffles us. One who is lost is a scientist who spends his entire life trying to figure out how God's creation works whereas believers get to experience and know God's will everyday. It doesn't matter how things work. The only thing that matters is God's will because without it we would not be here and if we choose not to follow it we will die. We will die! God feels compassion for everyone on the planet. That's why the sun rises on both the righteous and the unrighteous. But if we choose to turn our back on him after knowing the truth, we will live in a place for eternity that rejects all of his "thou shalt nots." It is a place so terrible we can't even imagine it unless he chooses to show it to us. I pray for all people frequently, that God would open up a pathway for all men and women to believe and repent.

That's a great testimonial! Mine isn't quite that interesting, but it's still good; I was born into Christianity, my family is Christian, I love my life.
