Why Would Christians Not Believe in This?
“He also warned me of tragic situations that eventually occurred… My son had a bicycle accident when he was 8 years old, lost his permanent front teeth, but he was OK. Also, my father died quite suddenly 10 years ago, and the Lord warned me about that in a dream about 4 months before it happened. Both times, the events were quite traumatic, but when they happened, I felt like I had already been thru the events. I didn’t realize it at the time that he was preparing me before the situations happened, so it would not be a total shock when I had to go thru them.
“From what I can tell, everything in your book rings true to me in what I have experienced in my own life. I have always wondered if this is an avenue I should be pursuing, because it seems like no one really supports this practice very widely….but down deep, I know what has transpired in my life and how God has spoken to me, but I wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do. I do read the Word, and I do pray, and I do attend church and Bible study, and I am genuinely seeking the face and will of God…….after reading some of your material, I know I am doing the right thing, and I know that the Lord has also chosen this way to speak to me, as he has done for you. I praise God for leading me to your book, and I praise God that you wrote it. Some of what you did write, echoed the thoughts and beliefs I have held for quite some time, but wasn’t ever really sure it was the right thing to do.
“I was never really sure it was OK to ask God to speak to me in my dreams. Most everyone says we have the Word now, so God doesn’t speak in dreams and visions anymore. I almost felt like I was an inferior Christian, because I was asking Him to reveal things to me in my dreams. But the Bible says that in the last days, He will pour out His Spirit upon all mankind, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men will see visions and prophesy. Why would Christians not believe in this? I just don’t know. I have experienced so many wonderful things in my life in the last year as a result of God talking to me in my dreams. My pastor told me I should be writing them down on paper. Maybe someone could benefit someday… The Lord is incredible!!
“Ruthanna, thank you so much for helping me to get your book. I consider it such a blessing. What I did review, really spoke to my heart as confirmation of what the Lord has been telling me and showing me.”
God bless you and your work,

I must agree that God can and does speak to us through dreams. I’ve been a christian for about 17 years now, and lately have been pressing into God as never before, and I am dreaming anywhere from 2 to 5 or 6 dreams each night since shortly after starting to press in. I sure can’t say that all of them are from God, but I know at least some are. I have decided to act on 3 of them so far, playing it safe that it couldn’t hurt anyone if I was wrong - more along the line of encouragement. I am recording major points in my dreams and waiting on God for interpretation.
