  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I had a dream a few nights ago.

I was walking around and I came into contact with some man I didn't know, I sensed in my spirit he was a christian, a strong sense in my dream it was, there was madness going on in the world.

I then said to him 'How long must we wait for us to be at peace with our Lord' and it was like he was sympathetic with me, understanding what a lot of us think at this present time.

But, then somehow I was revealed the truth of this person, and they were evil, I was shown what they were really like, in my spirit, or thoughts in this dream. But I don't think he knew I knew!


THEN a day or two after this dream I was walking to the bus station, and there were people everywhere as usual, but this older couple passed me, and I heard the man say sooo clearly, I mean like everything went quiet and all I heard this man say was "sometimes it's hard to notice straight away" (I immediatley realised this was pertaining to discernment ) as he was in the middle of his conversation talking to his wife.. it was very surreal, but clear as day.

There are many things coming that will atempt to deceive us, like this guy in my dream, we need to be aware and alert.

God Bless and stay strong :groupray:

Sorry this is showing up first... things have been weird on here lately with posts showing up out of order, etc. The next post is actually the first post.

I do know what you mean. I see it all the time and it is scary. Tonight I was praying over a situation and the Lord brought this song to mind -

Sufficient / Adie

Hear my heart lord as I cry out to you
Hear my prayer lord and carry me thru
In your mercy in the promise you made
Be my strength lord when my strength fades away

Cos when I am weak your strength is complete
It's perfect
Completely all I need
Sufficient for me
Your grace and peace are perfect
Completely all I need
You're all that I need

In my weakness I'm finding your strength
In my sorrow a gentle embrace
Thru the seasons of laughter or pain
You are listening
When I call out your name

I'll find you when I seek
I'll look for you with all of my heart
And I'll find you when I'm weak
Cos you are strong

Hear my heart lord as I cry out to you
Hear my prayer lord and carry my thru
Carry me thru

A powerful dream.

One I'm sure was meant for you personally, but also for all of us, since you have shared it.

The anti-christ is everywhere, but will soon form into an entity, that people will be lulled into accepting because of the chaotic disarray.

That is why they have the saying Order out of Chaos.

Your spiritual awareness will guide you and your family.

Seek to understand your instincts.

I call em, gifts from God.

Hi Dean, I agree that this dream is powerful.
What struck me, is that you felt in your inner spirit that this person was okay, and it turned out he wasn't.

For years God has used this innner sense to warn me of danger or draw me to connect with people. It has been a great tool for guidance, and gives me confidence in dangerous situations. Your dream reminds me that we will need to be sharper and more dependent on God for our truth, and that we can easily be swayed by senses we used to have.

I was in a fellowship where a lot of prophetic activity was going on. We were even heading out to other churches to teach in prophetic areas. Prophetic words became so commonplace that some seemed diluted and vauge. At some point, I started to question that they were not all correct. I don't know what happened, but I think it's similar to your dream; that people relied on their hearing instead of on what God was saying.

Imagine being out in the fog at the edge of the water, and you hear a foghorn. You know from experience that it's coming from the lighthouse, but you can't be sure. You make that assumption. But hidden in the fog is an aircraft carrier with a foghorn on deck.

The noise fell on your ears and entered your mind in the same place your mind stores these things. But the focus was on the noise, instead of the source of the noise.

I don't want to sound wacky, but we are living in the same spaces as radio waves, wireless Internet, wireless telephone communications, satellite feeds... what is to keep us from recieving or being impacted by some of these signals that go through the air.

Right now our receptors are limited to translate traditional input of light, sound, touch, taste, smell. Sound waves have physical movement.... feeling drum corps playing, watching a stereo speaker pulse.

This might seem odd to present a technical article, but it talks about how the brain perceives input:
"In optics it is well known that there is a difference between precision and resolution. Resolution refers to the ability to establish that there are two distinct objects at a certain distance, whereas precision refers to the accuracy with which a single object can be tracked. The wavelength of light limits resolution, but not precision. Similarly, the uncertainty principle limits the ability to separate a sum of signals as distinct objects, rather than the ability to track a single signal."

Interesting that this topic would come up at a time like this. This past Sunday was my turn to share a sermon. The topic was on deception and discerning false Christians and prophets in the end times. Nothing earth shattering on my part, but informative.

We note in Matthew 24 where Jesus is describing the end times, and starting from verse 9 that 1) Christians will be persecuted, 2) many Christians will fall away from the faith, 3) that Christians will betray one another, 4) because the love of many shall wax cold, and 4) many false prophets will arise. These verses are connected for a reason.

We also note in 1John 4, that between verses 1 and 6, John warns us about the anti-Christ spirit (or the proliferation of other Jesus’s). Then starting from verse 7, John abruptly talks about loving one another.

What Jesus and John are trying to convey is that true Christians (and prophets for that matter) are the ones that love God and other people. 1John 4:8- “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”

In times of great distress, Christians who do not love will fall away and be separated from the flock. These are the ones that will take the mark of the beast and betray you in the end. But those who follow God’s two greatest commandments, which is to love God will all your heart, and to love others like yourself, will endure to the end.

One of the sure fire ways to discern a real Christian or a prophet of the Lord is the amount of love they have for God and other people verses the love they have for themselves.
