Be careful with visions. God can give us visions but so can satan. satan is good at pretending to be God. Don't be fooled. I have no clue which you are having, just be careful.

A real vision happens when we are not in control.We are lead.Always analyze your things with what i said.Soemtimes i emotions will play.We imagine things.
I see things like that sometimes.You have to make it clear with God.Pray about it and just observe where things are leading you to,when you meditate on these visions.If its leading you to troubles,definitely it's not from God.If its leading you away from God and prayer life(mediating on Holy Scripture).Real visions of God make you come close to God.
It's satan's greatest trick to lead you into turmoil.One thing i will clearly tell you.If you prayed and saw something with crystal clarity without deformations of objects in it(be it a place different from what you see in this world),then it's a chance that you saw something divine.You might also see dark foggy objects sometimes in these visions.Don't pay attention to such dreams and ask everything in Prayer to God.
A real vision will be always crystal clear and real.Very very clear and you will be aware of it.Be it Heavenly or demonic.When God gives you something or shows something in vision it always leads to Peace.It never changes.It will inspire you to follow Him throughout your life.Otherwise,you might get stuck in some psychic maze that devil brings in.
God gives you peace.And also there are visions of things that will come to pass.If you see such things and think what it was,it could be something that happened in the past or its something that is going to happen in future.And you will 100% see it to verify it.all these should make you more humble and not run for making a new church in time.God leads.

Always take everything to God and ask God to take it away if it's not from Him.If God really shows you something he will show it to you again.
devil also shows visions and gives knowledge.So always take everything to God.It's nice to hear that you pray a lot.Pray more to God,you will find it useful in time to come.Cultivate a habit to Pray to Jesus,no matter what.Even if you feel like you are a total failure,do it.
It's devil's visions and knowledge that lead to one of the most greatest deceptions in the world.Its a religion-islam.Another devilish agenda that came along was something that happened to a missionary who became an ape.The agenda was evolution.The ape's name is charles darwin.

I pray God leads your path and lead you to His Wisdom.And also,if you really get into the awareness that God is showing you something,you will also feel His Peace.He will not cheat you.Then take no heed of what people say.When God deals,He will deal straight.When devil deals,he always use twisted way.Always Read the Holy Bible,and compare things you see and rebuke it in the name of Jesus the moment you find something wrong.If God is leading,he will clarify what He shows you.

Eg: God will not tell you to end your life,or go take a drink in the bar.Compare things in Holy Scripture and be anxious to see His Face.He's alive and He will show you Himself in vision if You truly seek him.That's where many doubt.They think perfect people can only see Jesus.It's one's earnest desire to see God that matters.He is a Real Being,not dead in words.The Holy Scripture is full of living words.

God Bless:)

And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.
And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw:
and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

(2 Kings 6:17)


And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders:
and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying with a loud voice,
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

(Revelation 5:11-12)

Your visions are from satan
because God gives visions only to a prophet...
Satan gives visions to everyone.


next time you have a visions say this"

"In the name of JEsus christ and by the power of his blood shed for me, I askyou to tell me who you really are!"

Be prepared for a screaming demon to leave your house...

That's what happens every time...

Also
if you see "Jesus" in your visions
ask him to show you his hands
the devil cannot fake scars in his hands
if there are no scars
it is the devil himself.

easy.

2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Or you can ask this:
What day should I worship God on?
If he says sunday, it is satan.
if he says any day you want it is satan.

Where does it say God only gives visions to a prophet?
I'm asking because I've never read anything like that in the bible.(not saying it doesn't say that I just haven't seen it and I'd like to know where it says it) I've had a few visions in my life and I'm not a prophet. But I truly believe with all my heart it was God.

There is a "gift of visions" so no, it is not exclusive to prophets. God can do anything He wants and give gifts wherever He wants. He spoke through a donkey once. Does that make that donkey a prophet?? That would be a resounding no. I do not believe the donkey was sent out into all the world to do the works of God after that incident.

I have to agree with you. I know many people who have had beautiful visions (even myself) who are not prophets.
But if he believes God only gives visions to prophets. I would like to know where it says that. Because to believe that one would have had to read it in Gods word or so you would think anyways. But if it does say that I would like to read it for myself.

Joel 2:28 “And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions.

Anyone care to challenge this?

I don't wanna challenge anything or anyone.
I just wanna know if prophets are the ONLY ones that can have visions.
I have read that verse a few times but I didn't think It meant only prophets could have a vision?

Joel 3 [h=3]The Day of the Lord[/h][SUP]28 [/SUP]“And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]Even on my servants, both men and women,


I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

Acts 2 in reference to Pentecost
[SUP]14 [/SUP]But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. [SUP]15 [/SUP]For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. [SUP]16 [/SUP]But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
[SUP]17 [/SUP]‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.



Seems to refer to more than prophets unless all young me are prophets, but since the Spirit is poured out to all flesh anyone could have a vision from God even unbelievers! Saul had a Vision of Christ in which he became a believer. In the old testament God even spoke in dreams to heathens though they needed someone anointed by the Spirit of God to interpret them. Even the Wise men who visited Christ at his home in Bethlehem were warned in a dream to go a different route home.

Pres19, you seem worried. Don't be. God can give visions and dreams. Don't worry about titles and legalism. God isn't that cranky. People think He is, but He's not. He's like "Hey, love people, like I love you...'nough said."

Thank you. And yeah I'm a little worried. I just now started to really study the word. And not just read it.
I have a lot I don't understand and I don't have anyone to help me when I have questions. (I know God helps me)
So when ever I hear someone say things like that I worry that maybe I'm the one that's wrong and I wanna be corrected if I am.
