Bible Question: God spoke to His people and through them in the old despansation by dreams. Does God still speak to and through us by dreams? and how can one tell apart the dreams? |
Bible Answer: Nandi, we take those dreams that we have and line them up with scriptures. In other words, whatever impression you got from the dream, search the scriptures and see what instructions you get there. All our experiences are to be taken to the word of God for clarity and understanding. A good book on how to study the bible will help you. Pray first and spend time alone with God to prepare you for studying His word. Whatever the topic of your dream - say it was about someone getting married, look in the back of your bible and you will see a concordance with the words marriage, married, marry. Look up these scriptures in your bible reading the chapter they are found in and the book they are found in to find out what the author's overall purpose of writing the book is. He usually states why he is writing. There is an excellent bible on this site called the inductive study bible that shows you how to study the bible within its pages. I have it and have been blessed by it. You can go to the top of this page under Find a bible to locate it. Blessings, Val |
