1 | Are my dreams from God or bad pizza? | John 17:17 | inhisservicealways | 147343 | ||
Recently, I had a very moving dream, which seemed symbolic in nature. It also seems to me that God gave me an interpretation of it. I wrote it down and stuck it in my Bible to see if the issues I believe the dream represented will play out the way the dream seems to indicate they will. (It is too soon yet to know if they will.) Last night, my wife had a very disturbing dream, which also seemed very symbolic. Sitting on the edge of the bed, I prayed that God would help me to understand her dream. Then suddenly it seemed that the interpretation was obvious. I told my wife about the interpretation, and she found it very unnerving. I don't think I'm any kind of prophet or anything, but could God be talking to me through dreams? If so, how would I know? (I can tell you that the interpretations to the dreams do align with Scriptural principles.) I know that, in Scripture, God has often used dreams to convey a message (i.e. Joseph and Pharoah; Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar; Peter). I just don't want to be guilty of presuming to be hearing things that God is not giving to me, I guess. I could post the dreams and my interpretations of them if this would help. |

Hi, there... God will not say anything to anyone contrary to His Word. So, anything that you might be told -- through dreams or otherwise -- can be tested against the Word. "The whole counsel of God (the Word) concerning all things necessary for His Own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture: unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelation of the Spirit, or traditions of men." Hence, to learn anything you need to know, study the Scriptures. To test anything told to you, study the Scriptures. The Holy Spirit will guide you into the proper understanding of Scriptures if your desire is to fully submit to your Creator. In Him, Doc See also 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Galatians 1:8-9; John 6:45; 1 Corinthians 2:9-12; 1 Corinthians 11:13-14; 1 Corinthians 14:26,40. |
