Truckin. This one is not a SHE, and I ALWAYS look for Authenticity of the interpretation in the Word of God....
1. The beast is FALSE DOCTRINE, FALSE CHURCH...
2. The WEB you have to go through is the Principalities and evil spirits in the air.
3. God speaks of the people that are born of the Spirit, they are like the wind, and a Tornado does not harm the heavens.

Also did God not say... Falling on the STONE they rejeccted is not a pleasent experience...

Now let us put it all together...

I think God is warning you to TEST the spirits, and to use HIS WORD as your measuring cup. For the more you seek the TRUTH the more the Satan will send to distract you OFF the way to God. All we have to do is to know that God is our SHIELD against all the FALSE teachings and the weapons the Devil use to get us off the Truth.

The BEAST in revelation is after the Child. The Lie has started the war on the Truth with Adam and Eve. And it will stop when God destroys the beast... Christ came to DESTROY the works of Satan... 1 John 3. And to whom HE DID destroy the works, they are FREE from the beast. Jesus said if He makes you free... And He also said you shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free... The Truth is the Word of God, John 17:17... My friend like God said... ALL is now revealed, and ALL we know of the Truth shall make us FREE...

Just you make sure EVERY belief you lay on your heart to believe as Gospel, are 100% in line with the Word of God....

I had a dream SHOWN to me in a church when a woman once witnessed about a dream she had... When I spoke to that church they chased me out.... The false teachers does not like to be PROVEN wrong by God's Word. All I did was read the Bible, and they chased me out. Saying.... This does not come from God. And on another occation, when I read the word of God to a PAID BIBLE discussion and dinner, I was chased out AGIAN, even called that I do not believe in the BLOOD of Jesus.

They are right there, I do not believe in the blood, I believe in the MAN, and the SON. I do however believe I believe IN HIM, because HIS BLOOD JUSTIFIED ME! But I also believe it did not stop there,,,, Jesus not only DIED for me, HE WAS ALSO RESURRECTED FOR ME... To have a NEW LIFE IN HIM. But that is not Scriptural in their eyes, and I was blamed for being a non-believer.

My friend KNOW YOUR BIBLE.... Let God SHOW AND REVEAL ALL HE CAN FOR YOU IN HIS WORD... It makes us REALLY dangerous for the BEAST.... He has NO chance with us,.,.,.

Unique example...history changer. A Man of God who talked to a pagan. Special thing.
look in 1 Cor 12 find it there.

Dont get me wrong yould find one its the new trend and sooooo cool

Are you a pagan?

God only does it once and only for pagans, is that what you are saying? So God only does special things for pagans, not His own children? I've never heard of this line of reasoning. Can you show a scripture to back this theory up?

Actually i started the thread discussing dream interpretation. apparently i wasnt
the right cup of tea. So i quit. So why ask me that? If God gave a dream isnt He capable
of making it clear? That is easy to prove because the NT recorded it and was prophecied.
If God didnt give it, then why try to interpret it? And if dreaminterpretations are common in the
occult why mess with it. There are a thousand things we can talk about that God can do.
His power is never the issue. How do you test something? that isnt scriptural?

The issue with God sending His man to reveal dreams He gave Pagans does make alot of sense
but i spose it has alluded you. And it doesnt sound like you are really asking me anything really anyway.

Why am I asking you? Well, you already posted 10 times on this thread and made all sorts of statements about dream interpretation, so I assume you are more than willing to discuss this? If you do not wish to discuss this further, that's fine.

Trukin,

I can't say I know anything about dream interpretation as a spiritual gift from God for today. Other than, if a dream is from God then He will either reveal what it means to you directly or thru another person via dream interpretation. Although I do not know of anyone where this has happened.

I'm not trying to burst your bubble, but your dream may not be from God. If it is I hope you will share more on this.

Hi Trukin,

I would absolutely agree with you on the fact that the story recorded here about Pharaoh's dream confirms that God had his prophets interpret dreams at several points in time. Another example would be the prophet Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream (recorded at Daniel 2). As a matter of fact, the apostle Paul recognized that some had such gifts. In 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 he wrote under inspiration: To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues. (New International Version).

The question is whether he uses dreams as a means of communication with humans today. (From your post, I did not get the impression that you were suggesting that your dreams have a divine source anyway but that you were simply hoping to get some insight into the meaning of your dreams). The same Paul assured us that these gifts would come to an end just a couple of verses later. In 1 Corinthians 13:8 he said "But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." We also know that God warned of those who view their dreams as message from God and warns us against looking for Omens (Jeremiah 29:8-9; Deuteronomy 18:10-12). Why would God stop using dreams and why would he warn us against them? Well, if we look at the instances in which God communicated through dreams, it was within the context of his own purpose. Think of the consequences that Pharaoh's dream had for God's people and above all for the sanctification of his name; it allowed God to save Abraham's descendants in order to fulfill the promises that go up to Christ's earthly existence. The same is true for the prophecy contained in Nebuchadnezzar's dream; it has a wide-reaching meaning for our future under God's Kingdom. However, with the coming of Christ and the last revelation to John contained in the book of Revelation, there was no need to continue sending us messages; the message is complete from the point of view of God's purpose.

With that being said, it would be logical to think that there is nothing wrong with looking for a psychological explanation for one's dreams, especially one's nightmares. We just have to be aware of the fact that they are not messages or prophecies, since God warns us against that.

Hope this input helps you with your question.

Hi I understand your question completely. I myself have had certain dreams differently than I normal have. Because of an urge inside me after those dreams (and because I know God still speaks and to all the critics: He speaks not new things but in agreement with the Bible) And after this dreams I found out that some symbols/things in it I understand but not all of them. I have searched since than what is the right Biblical way to treat this.

I saw this in the bible:
Abimelech:But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife. Gen 20:3​
Jacob: And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled. And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. Gen 31:10,11
Laban:And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Joseph did interpret for others and himself Gen 37:5; Gen 40:5
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. Num 12:6
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder Deut 13:1
Gideon: And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. Richt 7:15
Saul: And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 1 Sam 28:6
Solomon: In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.1 Kings 3:5
Job: For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, Job 33:14-16
Jeremiah:The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Jer. 23:28
Daniel did interpret for others and he had visions himself Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. Dan 1:7 ; Dan 2 Daniel had to pray sometimes before receiving an interpretation.
Joel: And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Joel 2:28
Joseph man of Mary: But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Mat 1:20
Wife of Pilate: When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him. Math27:19​
Peter: saw a vision and God did tell Him a sentence (vision of the animals in a sheet) Acts 10:9-17
And Peter had no clue first what it meant. So is God always clear??​
Paul : And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. Acts 16:9
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: Act 18:9

I noticed that God for sure gives dreams and also not all to believers. Reading Joseph did interpret the bakers dream and Gideon heard his enemy explain the dream what was send by God showed me that God works in mysteries ways. I do not think God changed. With Peter I saw that he first did not understand the vision given to him by God. So when God is dealing this way with people in the old testament, and the new testament....I doubt personal God will be changed now.
I am though very suspicious with new age stuff and just interpreting every dream. Not my kind of thing.

Of course there are warnings in the Bible: Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. Jer 23:32 But never is mentioned that what God can do in the past, won't happen in the future. All His deeds can be done again. God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

I found out when I ask questions about dreams people get confused a bit because dreaming and explaining it is not a general act in church. My dream is sent, by me to a pastor whom could not give an answer yet but he would pray for it and for me. And in the ladies forum I found no interpreter either. I wanted to leave it all again, until I did read your thread :)

Kenisyes can you please invite me also? Or help me to get in it further... I like to know if I am right and God wants me to know certain things.

ok well for the first one i see that you are running away from the beast
the closer you get to the Most High
the more you will fear god.
but fearing god is better than fearing he beast.

I for one, would never limit what God can do. If God sent King Nebuchadnezzar a dream and sent him a servant of God to interpret it, why can't God do the same today?
It is not normative, and unreliable.

thank you for understanding....THIS is why i dont post on here any more. i'm getting tired of the snotty remarks from some people. i AM very much a born again Christian, i just have many unanswered questions. i would just like to get some helping remarks instead of the snide ones from the peanut gallery. i'll be moving on now and finding a different forum website......
Ecclesiates 7:5
It is better to listen to the rebuke of a wise man Than for one to listen to the song of fools.

Proverbs 15:31
He whose ear listens to the life-giving reproof Will dwell among the wise. 32 He who neglects discipline despises himself, But he who listens to reproof acquires understanding.

Proverbs 13:18
Poverty and shame will come to him who neglects discipline, But he who regards reproof will be honored.

Proverbs 29:18
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint;
But happy is he who keeps the law.


Genesis 40:8
They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.”

James 1:5
[SUP]5 [/SUP]If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him

it's still "bibilical" and no i'm not thank you very much!
Sometimes the responses make one sort of feel like, "Ouch! Excuse me for asking!" :) LOL.

But who is going to tie God's hands and demand that he not do whatever he wills to do?

It is the same with healing. Some say, "No. God only healed as signs that his blessing was behind the making of a New Covenant." But does that mean God cannot heal who he wills to heal, even now?

Who can tie the hands of God?

I beg to differ. Anything God does is reliable and always will be. Is it normative? I have no clue what all God is currently doing. Many churches are dead and have not seen a miracle in decades or even centuries. So they might say "Miracles are not normative", but I have seen God perform a few miracles. I believe God can do anything.

I've dreamed of tornadoes before. My first one was where I was standing out in the country, and I saw two skinny tornadoes coming together to make one huge tornado about 1/2 mile away from me, heading directly toward me. At that time I was an assistant pastor in a church and problems began with people within the church complaining to my pastor that my preaching was too hard. My pastor fired me as assistant.

About eight months later, I began to pastor a church that God told me I would 12 years earlier. This is when the tornadoes came together. I will not go into detail, but some members of the church, and a state official in my denomination began to cause me huge problems. I almost lost the church. If God had not warned me before it happened, I would have soon given up my first pastorate. I have been there now almost 6 years.

The second dream was almost a year ago. It was showing me in my kitchen looking through the window, and I saw what looked to be seven tornadoes going slowly across together in parallel left to right behind my house. They were different sizes with one huge white one in the middle. One was so close that it went through the middle of my back yard. I remember that the sky was black about a quarter-mile from my house over these tornadoes, yet it seemed to be sunny over my backyard. None of them damaged anything around our house. I do not think the dream was directly about me, but the times that are coming. I am reminded of this Psalm:
Psalms 91:1-8 [SUP]1 [/SUP]He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. [SUP]2 [/SUP]I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. [SUP]3 [/SUP]Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. [SUP]4 [/SUP]He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. [SUP]5 [/SUP]Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; [SUP]6 [/SUP]Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. [SUP]7 [/SUP]A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

Trukin.... Hang on and hang in. I understand where you are coming from.
I know some will tell us "oh, it is something you ate before you went to sleep."
No, when it stays with you strong, don't give up and keep it here.

May I suggest one thing that helps me ? Write it down on paper. Write how
you felt in dream and after you woke from it. Keep patient.. I know how you feel.
I don't have time to read it again right now, I hope you stay around. I want to
read it carefully, then get back okay ?

I am not a professional, nor do I go around looking for things to interpret. But
it is often easy to see it, and if it isn't then God will reveal in His time.
I have to log out right now. Talk later ? God bless you.... Been where you are.
