“When the Lord started speaking to me thru dreams, I made a study into the Word to see how God used dreams in the Bible. I can’t remember how many I came up with, but it was clear that before any major event in the Bible, it was foretold by a dream. If God spoke thru dreams in the olden days, surely He could use that vehicle in my life. I remember thinking, just like you said; the Holy Spirit is available 24 hrs a day. He never sleeps, like we do, so He is continually able to speak to us…..what better time than when we are asleep – no noise, no outside interference… I also found many scriptures supporting dreams and visions in the Word. Also, in the last days……etc.
“Something you wrote also spoke to my heart….the Lord was performing spiritual surgery on you, and told you not to be concerned with your husband, that he would care for and correct him if needed. He also told me not to be concerned with correcting my husband, that he would be able to handle him. I have been married a little over a year, but my husband and I have been separated for about 9 months. My husband has been battling alcohol and gambling. He has the call of God on his life, but he is running from God… The Lord has told me not to divorce him, but this has been so difficult…
I had been intensely reading the Word to see how he felt about divorce, and trying to figure out what I was supposed to do. He has manifested himself to me on a couple of other occasions, and I am so humbled that He has shown himself to me in this manner.”
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.
