The dress up thinggy has to do with maturity / transition.

Possibly stepping into your calling,or leaving this world behind.

The girl across the street represents people /a person not saved. They come incorrectly to God with trinkets instead of a broken heart.

You will obviously show people the way.

The boys are mockers and haters. All prophets are mocked and hated.

You will have to "get over people"

Prophets tend to fly alone or with other eagles.

There didn't have to be 300 snakes in the garden.

Only took one as Eve found out.

IOW,1 wrong person in your life can have catastrophic results.

The way is already known. Give them a Bible and tell them to read it.

And you really shouldn't put the notion that she is some sort of "prophetess" into her head. You have absolutely no way of confirming that.

Sooo, are you working from the idea dreams are "biblical" somehow? Or you have a spiritual belief dreams are portentous? I imagine it might be true God sends people occasional (as in the frequency of miracles) spiritually insightful dreams. We can not, should not, presume most, many or even "some" are. It would be rare, perhaps a unique occurrence, and I'd like to say why I state this. While they happen in the Bible, they happen very rarely, they happen to specific individuals in specific circumstances, and they're such notable, momentous happenings that the few times made it into the Bible.

If we run around carelessly attributing many dreams to effective soothsaying, you get mass hysteria. I do not, for one minute, think God wants us to "live outside time" or "without our present moment".

We say "lunar cycles" cause "lunacy" for a reason, even if it's not scientifically proven but perceived, and every part of that sentence is emotion.

How many dreams did I post? 2. Has God ever used dreams before? You bet he has! So why is this so weird?

Because God has given us all the information we need to know about the end times in scripture. There is nothing to add.

"Some" people need to stop telling people they are prophets because if the person doesn't have full balance and are willing to listen to you, you'll send them off the deep end. That's really not necessary.

Your comment proves it is not.

Ever hear of an evangelist?

Paul said to desire the prophetic realm

Stop acting like you know what you are talking about.

I don't think I am a prophetess. I just think that God gave me a dream that may or may not have Biblical implications. If it does great! If not, I don't think God will condemn me for trying to please him. "OH HOW DARE SHE DO HER BEST TO PLEASE ME! HOW DARE SHE! HERESY! HERESY! I SHALL SMITE HER BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME SO!" Rofl! That is not the God I know and love. XD

I'm not saying God doesn't give people dreams but I don't think your dream will give you biblical implications because the bible already does this for us. Maybe it was something God was only telling you? Maybe your time is running out and he is saying you need to get right with Him? Maybe because you are going through this change about the Sabbath God is telling you something?

Then an evangelist should Never make a sentence outside a quote from the bible.

Again,you don't know what you are talking about.

You are a legalist.

When I come face to face with God someday one of two things I think will happen:

1) God's gonna be like "I didn't send you those dreams but A for effort!"

2) God's gonna be like, "Nice job! I sent you those dreams and you knew what to do with them!"

I dunno if he's gonna talk like that but you get my point.

These dreams were a while ago. Like moths ago and they have been nagging at me for a while...there will be times where I will just be reminded of them and I'll just shrug it off but last night was the last straw.

All throughout the bible God spoke to ppl in dreams even to his enemies and the scriptures clearly say that in the last days ppl would dream dreams and see visions so yes it is very biblical and no it isn't rare it actually happens a lot

So from this statement God will tell that to someone who isn't saved as well.

1. Gods going to say "you didn't know me but you were a good person. A for effort."

I don't recall anyone saying she was a prophetess, having the gift of prophecy doesn't make one a prophet and neither does having prophetic dreams

If you read my history, you will quickly see I am as far from a legalist as you can get. My point is simply that we know how the end times will play out, and how they will end. There is nothing more that needs to be added to what we already know from scripture.

I talk with God daily. What a shame you would talk from your other end when trying to communicate with other Christians.

Hard to believe she dreams of mockers coming to distract her and bingo they flock to their little "cause"

I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't think you're being fair. We all, in a Biblical truth, should at times appropriately be evangelical. That's true. We also do other things, like build houses, wait tables, fight fires, sew clothes, try to maintain our sanity and keep the real world in perspective so we're functional adults, raise pets, feed children, fix cars...

See what I did there?
