Lighthouse...Christian Dream and Vision Interpretation

[~RENEE~]

furrysmommy,

A reoccurring dream certainly signifies that God has decreed a Divine Encounter for your hubby...as you said for him to be filled with the Holy Spirit! (In Acts 10, Peter saw the same vision 3 times!) So, this dream does not appear to be warning of a coming physical attack, as Praiser seemed to imply. The devil bringing fear in an attempt to mess up your hubby's faith, trying to hinder him from receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Fear and faith are in opposition to one another. Your hubby could be inwardly fretting about surrendering his all to Christ. Encourage your hubby that Jesus loves him, and he has nothing to fear. Christ came to bring him LIFE and that more abundantly! LIFE TO THE FULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge–that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

I told him what you had said about his dream And we both thought back to when it started it begin right after sunday night. Today he prayed sincerely "Lord if what woman said is true then bring it on." And it's interesting that you would mention fear I have believed for a while now about fear holding him back. Do you think it could be from his time as a satanist? Thats what I've wondered.

Your hubby could fear Divine discipline for his past.

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

In another version, exhorts not YET made perfect in love...so surmising Jesus be bringing your sweetheart deeper into His great love!

2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Hmmm...just got more insight...being in a hospital room tends to signify a need for healing! So maybe your hubby needs Divine healing in his heart, before he can receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit!

You just made me speachless wow. Humblebee I think you just helped me figure out what was going on with my husband. I've been praying the wrong thing for him I know whats going on.

 

[~RENEE~]

Almost forgot see told ya you had me speechless thank you Humblebee.

 

[HumbleBee]

Here are more verses to hearten you and your hubby!

Isaiah 57:14-15 And it will be said: "Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of My people." For this is what the high and lofty One says-He who lives forever, whose name is holy: "I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.


1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

[HumbleBee]

furrysmommy, This interpretation was sent to me for your hubby's dream...

What the Lord is saying is that for this husband to be resurrected (3 nights) into allowing the Holy Spirit to control his life (trachea is the wind pipe and is not the Holy Spirit the "breath of God"), he will have to undergo a time of cleansing and purification (the heart surgery).

 

[Angel*Eyes]

Is it true that a person can discern whether a dream is from God, the devil, or from the soul? I think that I remember hearing that dreams from God are rich in color, dreams from the devil might have faded color or something like that, and dreams from your flesh are greyish looking.

 

[HoneyComb Son]

hey all..i wouldlike to know what this means..it probably means cleasning..but not sure..anyway here you go

Well, the Scriptures exhort "ye will know them by their fruits"...speaking of the difference between true (good fruit, good character) and false (bad fruit, bad character) prophets...so tiz wise to apply this to your dreams. Examine the fruit of the dream. God certainly does give dreams that are rich in color, though the devil can do that too. Plus if someone is really close to Jesus, they might have more vivid Divine dreams, while someone who is young in the Lord may have ones that are faded. So one must be careful about categorizing dreams.

 

[HumbleBee]

HoneyComb Son,

Recalling that your previous dreams have been about Jesus' willingness to heal you, though you been wrestling with fear and maybe a few other issues. So this dream seems to say that you are making progress! (You killed the white spider!) Jesus turning your hand over is an exhortation about your heart that affects your whole body. You must trust and allow Him to do a deep work in your heart! To set you completely free from fear (get this thing done!), so that your life will be a testimony to many and help draw them to Christ! He is the One and Only Savior that has benefited the world and wants to bless you personally and make you a blessing!

HUMBLEBEE--
I feel like i want to ask/tell you about something.
For the past 2 months, ever since I read a book about God speaking thru dreams, I asked Him to speak to me, and to help me remember what I dream when I wake up in the morning. He hasn't failed me- I've remembered every night since then! How faithful He is! I admit that I haven't been consistent in asking the Spirit to help me interpret the dreams, but I've been writing everything down on paper as soon as I wake up. Many times I'll wake up at night or early in the morning, write down something, and go back to sleep.
Last night, I was browsing thru this forum and came across a link to read something 'meatier'- "Is Jesus sleeping on the pillow of your heart?". (Did you write that? I can't remember, but I thought so!). I clicked on it, but it wouldn't load, so I went on to bed. I woke up this morning with something strange to write down I don't know if it's part of a dream, or just a message. It was this:
To: I'm at Paradise Squall Motel/Hotel; Please pray for me- I'll be leaving soon, in darkness, and don't know the way.

Like I said, I don't know if the message from me, or someone else was sending this "To" me. But, I had 'Squall' underlined and a question mark above it, cause I wasn't really sure what it meant.
I went back to sleep, and then this morning I was looking on the net/looking thru this forum again. I reloaded that story of "Is Jesus sleeping on the pillow of your heart?". It loaded correctly, and I was reading it. WELL-- as you know, in the first few paragraphs, it mentions the word 'squall', and defines it and talks about it. I stopped cold- and felt 'whoa', like it was definitely a God-thing. I had no idea what the word 'squall' meant- had never heard it before; that's why I had underlined it and put a ? mark above it on my paper earlier, because I didn't know if I had remembered that word correctly, cause I'd never heard it before!
SO, tonight I ran across this dream thread, and wanted to mention it to you. I'm not really sure if there's an interpretation to the 'message' or not, but I thought it was very cool that God was leading me or speaking to me- I don't think it's just a coincidence that I wrote down a word that i don't know, and then read a story with that same word!
(I did think it was interesting, however, that 'paradise' and 'squall' seem to be opposites in meaning, calm vs. stormy)...

 

[HumbleBee]

xibroisla! Your message could be a Divine Call to intercede for whoever may be at a Paradise Squall Motel! It sounds like they are going to take their own life! And that they don't the Way, meaning they don't know Jesus! They must be enduring major 'storms' in their life and they longing for Christ, His Peace, and liberty!

Am in tears as I type praying for this person that our Lord would give them hope and preserve their life!

I searched online but didn't find any motel of that name. Is it familiar to you It could be a symbolic name, a metaphor of sorts, a plea that this person needs refuge (Paradise) from the squalls in their life!

To: I'm at Paradise Squall Motel/Hotel; Please pray for me- I'll be leaving soon, in darkness, and don't know the way...(I did think it was interesting, however, that 'paradise' and 'squall' seem to be opposites in meaning, calm vs. stormy)...

*Sigh*
Another dream... thanks for the continued insight.

I was in a place which I think was church. I remember what I think were pews and the redness of the upholstery. There weren't a lot of people there and I was with a man that had a severely scarred arm - I think he had limited use of it. The scars were jagged, not surgical. I passed my hand over them and they disappeared and he was healed. I was full of the Holy Spirit, I think (I don't really know what that is like yet). I was breathing heavy and my chest felt full and my heart was pounding. Then I had pages of records with lines of items typed in red. I was going through the pages and passing my hand over them. The red was all turned to black. I remember being quite thorough, making sure I got every page and every bit of red typing. Then I was called to testify before people (I don't know how many or who they were) that I did this and the man that I healed said that it was true.

 

[HumbleBee]

Penumbra! Dunno why you sighing! This is an awesome dream, exhorting that Jesus be giving you the gift of healing! Your heavy breathing and pounding heart confirms the weighty and powerful Presence of Christ!

The healing of the man is similar to the account of Jesus healing the man with the withered hand. The Lord was angered at the hardness of peoples' hearts for despising a needed healing done on the Sabbath.

The red typed items could symbolize Christ's Words written in red! Absorbing His Words into your heart will endue you with His power in your hands! The more of His Words in your heart, the better! Red turned to black, as in, in the black, is a phrase for being in good financial standing and could symbolize that you have God's favor (are washed in His Blood; forgiven) and He will improve your finances. As you sincerely and humbly serve Jesus, live His Words, and help meet the needs of others, He will certainly supply yours!

[Hadron]

Well, I went out on a limb and asked the singles group pastor if he knew anybody with a messed-up, scarred arm and he said, "no."
The church is pretty huge, so I dunno. He said he would let me know if he heard anything.

 

[xibroisla]

Humblebee-
I'm writing this for my sister, because I'm really worried about her. She wrote me this:

" i had a weird dream about them (parents) last night. i know you have been researching dreams so can you tell me what they mean? okay the
first one was that they(our parents) picked me up during my sleep and threw me off the balcony and killed me. the second one was that they woke me up during the night told me to pack all my things and to leave their house and
never return and that they never wanted to speak to me again and would
no longer support me financially. i thought they were weird. what do you
think?"

First- background on my sis- she's depressed, low self-esteem, and even though is a xian, is getting drunk/partying all the time to 'lessen the pain'. She's so self-conscious that i've noticed she gets embarrased to sing in church, and I know she has several strongholds that need to be torn down (always sick, near-death experiences, etc.).
So, here's what I wrote back to her (the gist of it)-- That both dreams essentially mean the same thing- that she is in Spiritual Darkness, and there will be consequences if she doesn't change. (I gave these verses:

Mark 13- (Talking about the return of J.)- 32.No one knows the day or the time. The angels in heaven don't know, and the Son himself doesn't know. Only the Father knows. 33.So watch out and be ready! You don't know when the time will come. 34.It is like what happens when a man goes away for a while and places his servants in charge of everything. He tells each of them what to do, and he orders the guard to keep alert. 35.So be alert! You don't know when the master of the house will come back. It could be in the evening or at midnight or before dawn or in the morning. 36But if he comes suddenly, don't let him find you asleep. 37.I tell everyone just what I have told you. Be alert!

I Cor.11- 27.Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the (Father) in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the (Father). 28.A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. 29.For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the (Father) eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30.That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep (or, died).

I told her that she was asleep in the dream- spiritually asleep, meaning not right with Him. SO it could be warning that if she continues, spiritual death will follow; or, it could even be physical death (the passage in I Cor. says 'fallen asleep', but many versions say 'died'). I'm not trying to scare her, but the Word says that the devil comes to 'steal, KILL, and destroy'. she's had several close encounters with death, too.

So, Humblebee- what do you think? Do you see a different interpretation? I'm very new at this and have only read a couple of books. I know that you have much more experience, and I may be looking at her dreams from a slanted perspective because I know her. What is your take on it?

Thanks!

 

[HumbleBee]

xibroisla,

Totally agree with your interpretation of your sister's dreams! Here are more Scriptures for her to take to heart!

Romans 12:1-2 Therefore, I urge you...in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God–this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is–His good, pleasing and perfect will.

1 Corinthians 15:33-34 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” Come back to your senses as you ought, and stop sinning; for there are some who are ignorant of God–I say this to your shame.

Galatians 5:16-25 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Who's Who in the Story of Deborah the Prophetess

Deborah--the Bride

Deborah is the main character in the Judges 4 and 5 account of Israel's triumph over the Canaanites. Deborah, as a judge over Israel, led the troops into battle and ultimate victory over their oppressors. If we look beyond the historical account of an ancient battle, we find a spiritual battle-plan that can lead us into victory as we face the spiritual battles of these end times.

Deborah, as we shall see, is a type of the bride of Christ—the mature church of the end times. In order to see this, we must take everything the Scriptures tell us about her and thoroughly examine each fact in the light of the Holy Spirit. The first thing we notice is her name. The name "Deborah" means "bee, in the sense of its orderly motion." Since names often indicate something about the character of the person who bears that name, we can assume that she had her life in order. In other words, she walked in maturity with Christ. A study of the life and habits of the honeybee reveals a highly organized system of life wherein each bee has a certain function and all work together to insure the continued life of the hive and the production of honey. Her life must have been as sweet as honey to the Lord.

Another fact about bees is the interesting way they communicate. When a bee finds a good source for nectar, he returns to the hive and moves his body in a certain way that indicates to the other bees the direction to go to find the flowers. His actions are telling others where to find the source of life—nectar. In the same way, as Christians, we are to order our actions in such a way that others who see us will know how to find the source of life, Jesus Christ, by observing us and imitating our lifestyle (1 Cor. 11:1).

The next thing we learn is that she was a prophetess. The definition of a prophetess means, "an inspired woman," from a root word meaning "to speak by inspiration." This would indicate her being filled with the Holy Spirit.

So far in our study we know that her life was in order and she was filled with the Holy Spirit—two necessary prerequisites for the bride of Christ. There are several other factors about her life that reveal her to be a perfect type of the mature end time church.

The Wife of Lapidoth

She was the wife of Lapidoth. This is the only place in Scripture where this name appears, so the only way we can find information about him is by researching the meaning of his name. First we learn that "Lapidoth" is the feminine plural form of the word lappiyd which has the following definition from Strong: "lappiyd is from an unused root probably meaning to shine; a flambeau, lamp or flame:--(fire-) brand, (burning) lamp, lightning, torch." So "Lapidoth" and lappiyd have exactly the same meaning with the only difference being that "Lapidoth" is feminine and plural.

Now we have to ask the question, Why would a man's name be feminine and why would it be plural since he is the only one? We will answer this question after we find out more about Lapidoth's spiritual identity. There is much about "Lapidoth" that indicates he is a type of Christ. Since his name means the same as "lappiyd" we can examine every place in Scripture where "lappiyd" is used to see if it is consistent with our theory that he is a type of Christ.

"Lappiyd" was given the number 3940 by Strong. So all I have to do is put that number into my QuickVerse computer program to find precisely every place in Scripture where this word occurs. It occurs 15 times in 13 verses. A thorough study of these verses reveals that all but three of these occurrences can be interpreted as being a type of Christ.

The first place we find lappiyd is in Genesis 15 where God made a covenant with Abram that his seed would be great in number and would possess the Promised Land. As part of the covenant ceremony, Abram took three animals—a heifer, a goat and a ram—along with a turtledove and a pigeon, and divided the animals (but not the birds) in half. "And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces." It was God who passed between those pieces and he manifested himself as a burning lamp. The Hebrew word for "burning lamp" is lappiyd. Since Lapidoth and lappiyd have the same meaning, we have our first clue that Lapidoth is a type of God.

We find lappiyd was the lightning when God manifested himself before the children of Israel on Mt. Sinai: "And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings (lappiyd), and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off" (Ex. 20:18). Here we have another manifestation of God concerning the word lappiyd.

Lappiyd was the lamp within the pitchers held by Gideon's army: "And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps (lappiyd) within the pitchers" (Judges 7:16). Those pitchers were earthenware pitchers—a type of our human life (we have this treasure [Christ] in earthen vessels [2 Cor. 4:7]) which when broken, reveals the life of Christ within. "And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled" (Judges 7:20,21). Here again, lappiyd is an obvious type of Christ. It is Christ who caused the enemy to flee before His people.

Lappiyd again gives victory to the Israelites in the account of Samson: "And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands (lappiyd), and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives" (Judges 15:4,5). This was a supernatural deliverance brought to the Israelites through one of their judges and it was the Lord in the form of the firebrands that delivered them from their enemies.

Lappiyd is seen as salvation in Isaiah 62:1, " For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp (lappiyd) that burneth. Christ is our salvation and He is like a lamp (lappiyd).

Lappiyd appears in the Ezekiel's four living creatures as an obvious manifestation of God, "As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps (lappiyd): it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning" (Ezek. 1:13).

A vision of Christ appears to Daniel and his eyes are described as being like lamps of fire. "His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps (lappiyd) of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude" Dan. 10:6)

By now there should be sufficient scriptural evidence to verify that Deborah's husband is indeed a type of Jesus Christ thereby making her the bride of Christ and placing her in the end times. This revelation is especially exciting because it leads us to believe there must surely be secrets about the end times hidden within these two chapters about Deborah. As we continue our study of these chapters, God will reveal many valuable things to us to assist us in the days ahead as we anticipate facing the antichrist and at the same time entering into depths of relationship with Jesus Christ never before experienced by human beings on earth. As close as the apostles were to Jesus, they were still not as close as a bride. The relationship of husband and wife is closer than any other relationship known to human beings, and we will experience that level of closeness with Jesus as we press on into His fullness in these exciting end times. Deborah will reveal to us how to overcome the hindrances of our own flesh that will enable us to draw closer to Jesus.

Now we can answer the question concerning why a man's name, Lapidoth, would be feminine and plural. When Christ and His bride are joined in marriage, we will become one with Him but we will still be two persons. Christ will be manifested to the people of the earth in His bride—feminine.

In our next lesson we will learn more about what it meant for Deborah to live "under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim."
