Visions?

[W_McCarthy]

It's been 3 times now that I've heard other Christians mention having a vision, and I'm unsure what to think of this. I know that God does give visions to people, I believe even unbelievers as a means of bringing them to Christ. But these 3 occasions seem different to me. All of these brothers have said that they had or have a vision, and it always has money involved or some kind of earthly success. Personally I don't trust this method of Christian growth and believe this to be some kind of new age false teaching that is floating around but I can't find anything that fits it on the web. Has anyone heard of this? Before I was a believer I heard about this all the time but it had to do with things like the "Law of Attraction".

 

[Job8]

It's been 3 times now that I've heard other Christians mention having a vision, and I'm unsure what to think of this.

Firstly, it would be rare to receive visions today. Secondly, if indeed they were from God, they would pertain to the Kingdom of God. The best course of action is not to dispute the vision, but at the same time let the visionary know that it would be beneficial if he would keep that to himself.

 

[1watchman]

Yes, thoughts about visions and other unprofitable things is just that. One will do well to just hold to the Word of God fully and pay attention to what God has said.
