Subject: WHAT DOES TWO GOLD CHERUBIMS MEAN |
Bible Note: Greetings Gusisrealtome, Going by what you have said, I would say that the Lord might have been trying to teach you something. But since you say that you resisted and the cherubim flew away, you were not willing to listen at that time. Perhaps at a later date you will allow the dream to unfold more. I am a little confused by what you mean by, tried to "slay me in the spirit". This term is usually used in a group meeting were there is a healing service, either physical or spiritual, is being performed. May I ask you a question? Have you attended or are you attending, what I would call, camp town meetings, like older denominational Pentecostal meetings? I ask this because I haven't seen this for a while. I used to attend an older church were the preacher or an elder of the church would put their hands on you and the Holy Spirit would come upon you so strong that you couldn't stand up and you would fall over on the floor. And in that state the Holy Spirit would show you or teach you something that was needed in your life. But, not being an interpeter of dreams, all this would be supposition. And since cherubims do not have 'hands' and Paul says to lay 'hands' on a person for their healing, I don't see the connection to being "slain in the Spirit". You might want to discuss it with your pastor. And I would ask the Lord, first, was the dream from Him and second, what He meant by it. Then, be willing to accept the answer. terrib |
