Subject: Does God speak to us in dreams today? |
Bible Note: Christian dream interpretation? Are our dreams from God? 'GotQuestions.org is not a Christian dream interpretation service. We do not interpret dreams. We strongly believe that a person's dreams and the meaning of those dreams is between them and God alone. Does God still speak through dreams? God has spoken to people many times throughout the Scriptures by means of dreams. Examples would be Joseph (son of Jacob/Israel), Joseph the husband of Mary, Solomon and many others. There is also a quotation of Joel the prophet made by Peter in Acts 2:17 that mentions dreams. So the simple answer is yes, God speaks through dreams, among other ways. 'There is a difference of how we apply that truth to today however. One thing we must keep in mind is that the Bible is finished, having covered everything we really need to know from now till eternity. This is not to say that God does not work miracles or even speak through dreams today. The difference from how it works in the past though is that God has already revealed the way He chooses to deal with mankind from now to eternity, and anything He says, whether it is a dream, vision, "still small voice" etc., will line up completely with what He has already revealed. Dreams cannot be used as a basis for interpreting the word of God either, as this puts the dream into the place of authority rather than the Scriptures. If you have a dream and feel that perhaps God gave it to you, prayerfully examine the Word of God and make sure your dream is in agreement with Scripture. If so, prayerfully consider what God would have you do in response to your dream (James 1:5).' ____________________ www.gotquestions.org/ Christian-dream-interpretation.html |
