ahmunmun's posts were answered via pm. However, will say that all dreams are not necessarily from God. Some dreams arise from a variety of daily influences.

As for facing uncomfortable situations that need dealing with in real life...those dreams would be God urging you to 'face the music' and showing you what to do. You cannot run from God, so tiz wiser to follow His lead that will help keep you from getting into trouble in the first place. ;) :D

I recently had a dream ,that I was in a families kitchen in the dream I felt like I knew them ,but still felt uncomfortable being their as though I did not belong,since I was not part of their family .We were all in the kitchen preparing some type of meal.Their was a side kitchen door that opened and what walked through the door shocked me.It was a ram walking upward like a human his body was built up as a mans body his clothes looked something of what a lumber man would wear he had a pair of jeans and a checkard red long sleeve shirt with suspenders he had hooves for hand and feets .Their was a big bowl of milk on a table. He than walked toward the milk and beginned to drink.I than noticed I had a cup of milk in my hand and realized I had been drinking behind this animal and I was so disgusted I droped the cup of milk.Than the man ram went back out the side door he came in .Their were two doors in this kitchen a side door and a backdoor .Than their was something that caught my attention at the backdoor this door had a littel window you could see the backyard and there was like a forest in this backyard and a man standing between two trees he was not human because his flesh seemed rotten and cut all up as a corpse.He had an evil stare.I quickly begined to lock the back door because I thought he was going to try to come in .When he seen what I was doing it made him angry so when I locked my door the two trees he was standing between he pulled together as though he was shutting me out of the forest in a way imitating what I was doing .Than I thought to myself how silly does he really think he could keep me out of that forest by closing two trees.Than out of no were one of these human creatures came into the house not through the kitchen entrances but another.I quickly ran to get a weapon to defend myself I found a butcher knife in one of the draws and procceded to use it on this half dead woman.I knew I had to kill her before she infected me our the others ,but than she beggined to talk to me .She told me not to use the knife because it would be really bloody and I would get infected so instead I picked up a stick and beginned hitting her with it but she just laughed .Their was a guy their so I asked him to hit her so the thing would leave ,but I noticed that he playfully hit her and I could tell he was not trying to hurt her. Than I knew he was infected by this creature.What could this dream mean:sigh:

God's great peace be multiplied to you Sherry!

A kitchen is a place of preparation, and as in heart of the home, tends to represent one's heart. So since you were in someone else's home and feeling like you didn't belong that could symbolize living in carnal worldly ways, instead of for Christ to whom you truly belong! :hug:

The ram looking man would seem to represent one's flesh man that is obnoxiously stubborn and extremely headstrong...adjectives for extra emphasis. Someone who allows themselves to be constantly controlled by the flesh...being selfwilled...putting up a fuss etc...is spiritually immature symbolized by the milk. You now clearly recognize how displeasing carnality is and eagerly want to shed its habits (dropped milk).

1 Samuel 15:22-23 Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Hebrews 5:13-14 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The rest of your dream seems to say that those around you are not helping you to fend off the very persuasive flesh...not taking true spirituality very seriously...they lack reverence. Your dream describes a similar battle as what happened in this other dream that I interpreted...

Flesh Man Warring Against Spirit Man!

This is not my dream but one I interpreted...

>>>I had a dream one night that I saw a man, he had on a white shirt and black slacks. A lean and strong man with a mustache, and his hand was always on his sword ready to kill. And I saw another fellow, and he was old and bold, wearing a grey suit. And the old man was always trying to sneak up on the lean man with the sword, but the lean man was quick and always on the guard. And every time the old man would move or begin to say anything, the lean man with sword would draw his sword and slam it back down in the sheath.<<<

The man with the white shirt and black pants could well represent the spirit man, while the old, bold fellow could be the carnal man who constantly tries to resurrect itself, persists in regaining heart throne control, in getting the upperhand over moment to moment decision making. The old man erroneously and arrogantly thinks that immediate self-gratification is best, so schemes to cloud (symbolized by the grey suit) one's mind with rationalizing away sin and it consequences. Yet the spirit man is wise to everlasting rewards and alert enough to know that the wages of sin is death, so will not even entertain temptations and silences the old man with the Word of God! The spirit man being lean and strong, could be a symbol of spiritual discipline (consistency in Word and prayer), of agility, not at all weighed down by fleshly, temporal appetites. A mustache could symbolize spiritual maturity and keen discernment!

Romans 6:6-7, 11-14, 22-23 For we know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be done away with that we should no longer be slaves to sin-- because anyone who has died has been freed from sin...In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace...But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 7:21-25 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

Romans 8:12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.

Galatians 5:16-18 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.

Galatians 6:7-8 ...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.

Ephesians 6:10-18 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Colossians 3:1-5 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature.

Colossians 4:2-6 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

Vision: Turn Around!
From Jane Larsen





I saw a corner of a room. It was a small corner and on the floor was a crumb of bread. I was still, focusing on this tight corner, this crumb. It was quiet there, still, gloomy. Then I felt the Lord telling me to turn around. I thought I would see the rest of the room, but I didn't. What I saw took my breath away. I saw a garden, but it was more than a garden. Trees alive with blossoms and colour, a blue sky that stretched beyond where I could see, an explosion of flowers, birds singing and flying from tree to tree, a waterfall cascading down smooth rocks, the sunshine dancing on the water.


The corner of the room and the crumb were forgotten as I stared in wonder at the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. The Lord gave me this:


Turn around for I have wonders for you that come from my storehouse in Heaven. I have an abundance and all that I have is good and wonderful and pure. I have and I have for you.


Why do you persist in sitting in your corner with your little? Why do you cling to the shadows and have fear of the light? Do you believe that you, the apple of my eye, are only worth that? That this is all I have for you, that that is where I want you to be? No. No. Do not hide away in your sadness, in your grief, but turn around, your eye has not yet seen what I have in store for you.


Everything I have I give to you freely. Everything that comes from me is wonderful and pure and true. I will not bring confusion. I will not bring lies. I have sent my Spirit to guide you, to tell you THIS is the way, walk in it. I have promised you and my promises are YES and AMEN. I have set you aside, called you by name, watched you every day as you walked as you grew as you learnt and always I love you.


Turn around now and walk into what I have given you from my abundance. Claim what is yours. Walk into the light and let the weariness, the sadness, the pain, melt from you as I heal, as you soak in my love, as I repair, as I mend, as I restore all the places that are bruised. Come, spend time with me and heal for there is much that is coming your way. The shadows will be left behind, it is a place that you will visit and remember no more. Look, see, all things are new.


In His name and to His Glory
Jane

My dear one, for many years now you have cried out to Me for certain people that you care about to get saved, and yet your words seem to bounce off of them and they did not respond to the message of the gospel. That is all about to change My dear one for now these very same people will be coming to you asking you how to become saved because I am moving upon the hearts of many people and I am bringing in the great harvest of souls in these last days. You will soon see a salvation explosion!

You see, for many years I have been healing and preparing My Church. I have been pruning My people of all that does not bear fruit so that they could bear much better fruit. That is why you have not seen many salvations because I shut you down to fix your foundations so that you could stand when I built high upon you. Now you are ready to go forward into the harvest field and everywhere you look it will be harvest. In this harvest the fruit will even come looking for the harvester, so get ready to reap!

Rejoice and be glad for I have not forgotten about all those people you love and I have heard each prayer you have prayed concerning them. I have not been ignoring you, I have just been changing you so that you could succeed in the great day of harvest. You see, I had to not only prepare you, but I had to prepare those to be saved as well. I tell you that the harvest is truly ripe, so go and reap for it will be everywhere you look. Get ready for a salvation explosion My dear one, because here it comes!

i had a dream about 3 weeks ago where i got out of bed. i was so confussed, and yearned for god so badly. I opened my window and praised god, it was night time and i said "god please guide me in my life". But as soon as i prayed that, a shadow appeared out of the darkness from where i see the grass growing. It had wiings and sprang up spreading its wings, i saw tiny details on the demon such as the skin colour, i think it was a greyish, brown colour. but it was like a pure black shadow. It screached and with total fear and shock i closed the wiindow. In my dream i got down on my knees about to pray for god to help me. But the dream ended and i awakened scared.

About 7 or 8 times ive opened that window and every time i do the way the grass and trees and everything looks at night time looks asacly like my dream. Sometimes i am full of fear, but i say "revial yourself satan. You are not welcome here, this is holy ground." almost everytime the wind is blowing against my window and i have to hold it open. Like satan is scared of my praying.

I have no idea what the dream means, its not really much concern to me. But just incase anyone would knows by any chance atall?

thanks for your time, god bless your gift you dream tellers!

God's great peace be multiplied to you samsonknight!

What you experienced was spiritual warfare! You prayed with sincere zeal for God to guide you in your life...meaning you want to live your entire life heartily for Jesus! This made the devil angry, so the demon's appearance was to make you stop praying by inciting you to fear. The enemy suggesting that as you pray demons will answer...he trying to disrupt your hearing from God. Keep doing what you did, shut the devil out! Keep seeking Jesus with your wholeheart and He will empower you to discern and overcome demonic schemes! (Read Ephesians 6:10+ and Jeremiah 29:11-14) :D :thumbsup: :prayer: :amen:

This dream from SweetJanet...


---I was in a old fashion house, or more like a wood shed. There was a man, woman, child, and myself in the dream. The man put the child standing in front of a pole. I knew I could help her, but decided not to. The man hammered a thick large nail through the childs neck into the post. When it was over I gasped. Then I woke up. The child was a girl. The couple where in there thirties. I was the age I am now.---


The dream's theme seems to be about dealing with a legalistic, loveless environment...an old fashioned house could represent very strict, 'old school' parents...who relentlessly hammered their daughter with harsh criticism and condescension...so much so that the girl became emotionally crucified...in the sense that she was left with no voice...no courage to speak her mind.


As Janet confirmed, this describes what happened to her in her past. So I offered her this encouragement... If you are timid, your dream would be God showing you why. Also not saying you do, though you may have repressed anger and or unforgiveness toward your folks...maybe even resentment towards others who could have come to your rescue, but didn't. Your dream reveals what you endured so that Jesus may heal you of these grievous past hurts and liberate you from any oppressing spirits that may have been hindering your spiritual growth, possibly blocking your receptivity to God's love and leading.


Isaiah 42:1-4 "Behold! My Servant whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench; He will bring forth justice for truth. He will not fail nor be discouraged, till He has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands shall wait for His law."


Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."


Zephaniah 3:17-20 The LORD your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." "The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you; they are a burden and a reproach to you. At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame. At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes," says the LORD.


Matthew 5:10-12 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.


2 Corinthians 1:2-5 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.

From Mary Clark
barnabessie@earthlink.net

Song of Solomon 4:15 “You are a garden spring, a well of fresh water, and streams flowing from Lebanon.”

I tell you, beloved, that you are most refreshing to Me – most refreshing. I tell you that there is no lovelier garden than My beloved’s – no lovelier. I want you to know that I do delight in you, My chosen, My own. I most certainly do take much delight in having you as My very own.

In the coming days, beloved, that garden spring that is within you is going to flow like it has never flowed before. It is going to gush forth, giving with it a beautiful promise of the rich reward that comes with knowing Me. This fact delights Me! It satisfies Me greatly!

Look forward to this glorious event. Look forward to being a wellspring, bursting forth, bringing new promise and new hope to mankind. This is My desire: To see My beloved sending forth that wellspring of water that will bring much heart satisfaction to mankind. For you see, those who receive the drenching of this wellspring of new hope will be inclined to draw near to Me – to come to know and My kind favor.

So, beloved, I tell you: This is something else which you may look forward to with much anticipation – something else you will enjoy experiencing by the hand of the Beloved, your very own God and Creator, the One Who has seen fit to bestow on you a wellspring of His most refreshing water that many may come into that holy habitation, drawing near to the Beloved, and learning about His heart – His wonderful heart of love!!!


John 4:13-14 Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

John 7:37-38 On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him."

James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. :hug: :D :prayer:

Bro I don't know why, but this verse popped into my head (the part in blue to be exact) after I read over your dream. So I thought I would share it with you just in case it's relevant:

Genesis 4:7

"If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it."

Probably about a year and half after I became a Christian, I had the following dream.
In the dream ...
It was a cold fall/winter day, the clouds were big fluffy and low in the sky. I was standing at the end of a street near my grandmothers house, with my mom , and my daughter. We had probably been out walking. The sky suddenly broke open and there was The Lord . Physically I could see Him and my heart imediately felt more love than I can possibly describe. As I was holding my daughter, I raised my other hand in worshp and began to spontaneously praise Him. I was so enveloped in His Presence It is something hard to describe. However, I could "feel" my moms arm around me and the weight of my daughter on my hip....even though we were experienceing this. The Lord was dressed in a white robe, like a gown... His hair was flowing white He had a train that filled the sky and There were two enourmous angels holding the train..not feminine angels like we think of...but huge beautiful angels. The Lord's face (even though I could not see features )shown brighter than the sun . the rays of light penetrated your very being. It was like it went right through you. I felt more love , and peace in that moment more than I could say I have ever experienced on earth. More than the love of a child, parent friend or spouse. He was beautiful! I began to weep. At some point I realized that we were beiing drawn upwards tword Him. All the while I could still "feel" my moms arm around me and my daughter on my hip. I know it sounds nuts, but it was like our spirit man was the same shape maybe as our body..I dunno. ?? I remember that The Lord was moving His arms outward and then inward as if gathering something up, Or beaconing someone to come. *At the height of this dream , as we were almost there... I began to awaken. I was fighting to stay asleep I think I was even holding my breath because I did not want to leave His presence. wehn I had held my breath as long as I could, realizing I was waking... I inhaled and as I did it was like my spirit went back into my body. I awoke not wanting to move. I just cried and cried. then suddenly realizing it was possibly a dream from The Lord...I sat up got my bible and went to the floor . I asked the Lord for Scripture to back up this dream. He gave me ..like a rolling marquee in my mind...Isaiah 40. As I read This chapter some of the verses jumped at me...Verse one,2,3, 4, 5,6, 7, 11, and 31.
At this time in my life I had NOT read much of Isaiah...and certainly not this particular chapter. I had never had this kind of dream before this time.
Just wondering what you think.....feel free to imput.
Thank you.:confused:

That's just a freakin awesome dream :)

And when He gives you verses to back it up Himself, you can't get much better than that.

I have had dreams with Christ in them before, and would love to have one like that. I love those dreams and always wake up wishing I was back asleep, just like you did.

Phillippians 1:23

But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better

What an absolutely astounding dream! :D :clap: :prayer: :bow: Mere words wouldn't do your dream experience much justice...however, possible insight...since your Mom and daughter were so obviously present with you...even that they weighed on you...the Divine love you experienced would also signify just how much Jesus loves them too...so any concerns you may have about them...wholly trust them into your Lord's faithful hands.

These Scriptures will help further explain your encounter with Christ...


Ephesians 3:14-21 For this reason [seeing the greatness of this plan by which you are built together in Christ], I bow my knees before the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named [that Father from Whom all fatherhood takes its title and derives its name]. May He grant you out of the rich treasury of His glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling your innermost being and personality]. May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [that you may really come] to know [practically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).

Isaiah 6:1-3 ...I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain He covered His face, and with twain He covered His feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Probably about a year and half after I became a Christian, I had the following dream.
In the dream ...
It was a cold fall/winter day, the clouds were big fluffy and low in the sky. I was standing at the end of a street near my grandmothers house, with my mom , and my daughter. We had probably been out walking. The sky suddenly broke open and there was The Lord . Physically I could see Him and my heart imediately felt more love than I can possibly describe. As I was holding my daughter, I raised my other hand in worshp and began to spontaneously praise Him. I was so enveloped in His Presence It is something hard to describe. However, I could "feel" my moms arm around me and the weight of my daughter on my hip....even though we were experienceing this. The Lord was dressed in a white robe, like a gown... His hair was flowing white He had a train that filled the sky and There were two enourmous angels holding the train..not feminine angels like we think of...but huge beautiful angels. The Lord's face (even though I could not see features )shown brighter than the sun . the rays of light penetrated your very being. It was like it went right through you. I felt more love , and peace in that moment more than I could say I have ever experienced on earth. More than the love of a child, parent friend or spouse. He was beautiful! I began to weep. At some point I realized that we were beiing drawn upwards tword Him. All the while I could still "feel" my moms arm around me and my daughter on my hip. I know it sounds nuts, but it was like our spirit man was the same shape maybe as our body..I dunno. ?? I remember that The Lord was moving His arms outward and then inward as if gathering something up, Or beaconing someone to come. *At the height of this dream , as we were almost there... I began to awaken. I was fighting to stay asleep I think I was even holding my breath because I did not want to leave His presence. wehn I had held my breath as long as I could, realizing I was waking... I inhaled and as I did it was like my spirit went back into my body. I awoke not wanting to move. I just cried and cried. then suddenly realizing it was possibly a dream from The Lord...I sat up got my bible and went to the floor . I asked the Lord for Scripture to back up this dream. He gave me ..like a rolling marquee in my mind...Isaiah 40. As I read This chapter some of the verses jumped at me...Verse one,2,3, 4, 5,6, 7, 11, and 31.
At this time in my life I had NOT read much of Isaiah...and certainly not this particular chapter. I had never had this kind of dream before this time.
Just wondering what you think.....feel free to imput.
Thank you.:confused:

Thanks for the imput and comments guys. :)
I have been a christian since 1990, I had this dream in 92. I have had several unique dreams since. This one changed me. I came to an awesome realization of just how much He loves us. I know it will probably be even greater than what I dreamed--when I see Jesus face to face. I had not shared this dream in a long time, so thanks for listening!!!

(looking tword the skies, watching for my Lord)

That was a sweet dream. One of my friends and I were talking about dreams one time a few years ago and he said he had a dream with Christ in it. I never have had one but I'm sure it would be cool.

As a kid about 5 or 6 I did have a talk with God. I can't tell you what he said because I have forgotten but I know I was in my back yard playing with my dog and I heard my name. I looked around not knowing who it was then I heard my name again but this time it sounded like the voice came from the sky. I looked up and said "yea??" and after that I think I said yea and ok a few times but now i forget what he said. I always felt like it was just something semple as like he was saying I love you and I'll always be with you. or something like that. Anyways I'll ask him when I get to heaven. Unless he tells me again before I get there. :) That would be soo cool.
