noticeable tattoos & fish

[lovingjesus9]

Hi all I would appreciate your thoughts on this dream:

It was like I was watching a part of this persons life (I dont know them well irl,) Anyway in the dream I am watching this person, it seems to be summer as the day is warm and bright. This man is wearing a sunhat and singlet and happily posing with his catch of fish for a photo.He is holding up 4 or 5 fish on a stick he had caught. In the dream he has a friend with him, just seems they are enjoying their day possibly on holiday.
I then notice this man has new tattoos on his upper arms - they are very distinctive and cultural . He has them on both arms. I then am inside an unfamiliar house in the living room and pick up a baby who needed comfort. This man notices me picking up the baby, it is then I realize it is his baby.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Isaiah 3:4- "And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them."

The body of Christ is full of spiritual babes who are led by spiritual babes, thinking they're high with God because they have spiritual gifts and can mesmerize an audience with impressive abilities with public speaking. But their lives are easy, and they lack true understanding of the hard road that Christ told us to walk- the walk according to the Spirit. Jesus and the apostles were no exceptions.

Our current generation of Christians have corrupted themselves with the world, measuring success with the size of their churches, establishing financial security for themselves through the gospel, adopting cultural obsessions and cursing themselves with tattoos, which the Lord expressly forbid in Leviticus 19:28, when He said, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

In Ezra 10:11, the Lord told the Israelites, "Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives."

Likewise, Paul said in Romans 12:2- "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

The baby you saw represents the spiritual maturity of the man who is a minister of the gospel. And they're not alone enjoying the good life in the name of Christ.

Matthew 15:4- "... they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."

Hi Lov

Catching fish is a symbolic picture of salvations. 4 or 5 have to do with balance and /or grace. The baby has to do with being fruitful.

Altogether it looks like the message is not to judge a book by the cover. Man looks at appearances, God looks at the heart. Thank God right?

1 Sam 16:7 But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

Jn 7:24 "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment

Hi lovingjesus,

How have you been?

The meaning of your dream depends on how you felt and/or what you thought during the dream..I would especially point to how you felt during the part where he is observing you with his baby.

Are there any details that you have left out?

Thank you for that. I am wondering why you are having difficulty defining your emotions/feelings in this dream...that may wind up being very important for you to see.

What is interesting is that he is enjoying life (fishing, photos with a friend on a summer day, father of a child) You are the observer and then childcare giver. Tell me, was the friend with him a male or a female? You also noticed tattoos/(symbolic of possible cultural differences)??. Tell me how you felt when you observed them? Were you pleased, shocked, did they appeal to you, or disappoint you? FYI; arms point to strength.

There is something that you need to look at, and that is that you have not been able to identify your own feelings and thoughts throughout the dream...especially when he noticed you with his baby. Were you pleased, embarrassed, uncomfortable when you were holding his child and your "eyes" locked??? Can you identify that spot right there in the dream?

Are both of these men actively interested in you, or is one just a fantasy?

The dream reveals your fantasy views of "watching him from afar" and your desires to be intimate (caring for his child). Has this one at work actually asked you out within these three years?

So, what will you do about it then....after all...it has been three years? If you are the one that has been walking away, dont you think that you will have to be the one to take a step closer and intiate contact?

I understand. It is a little bit scary to go back out there after the sorrow of divorce.

Are you more comfortable with the thought of spending time with this other gentleman that is interested in you, than the one at work?

Sometimes we are called to knock down our own self-made walls. I am grateful that the Lord is lovingly leading you.

I receive daily exhortations from Bibe Gateway and this was the verse it contained this morning.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 (NIV)"

LovingJesus, I would kindly advise you to be sure that whoever you choose to get to "know better" loves Jesus as much or more than you. Since that issue was not discussed about either man, it might be a good thing to bring up.
