Rapture dream

[Blain]

So to begin I want to say I wasn't thinking of the rapture when this happened actually if I am being honest I was having a moment of weakness angry at God because I have always bel;ieved in his power and always believed in miracles but though I hear of people walking in his spirit like this I never get to see his power and wonder and beauty like others who walk in faith do. I then demanded that either he and I walk together in faith or told him to take away any hope I have that my faith and prayers will be answered because I just couldn't take another disappointment by giving my faith and my prayers only to be met with nothing coming from it I didn't want even one more prayer to be wasted not a single drop of my faith to be in vain I wanted to go all out to live with him in abandon

I told him I would give him anything I would be anything I would go where he says to go say what he says to say I wanted to live as if saying sit back and watch what my God can do. That night I had a vivid dream of me and others being on pedestals orbiting a clock made of clouds we all knew in our spirit it was finally time to go home we were so grateful and happy we were in tears I couldn't get a good look at the clock because we were orbiting it but from I could tell it was counting down and the only number I could actually make out was the number four I also couldn't figure out if it was hours or days yet I knew the rapture was going to happen that very day.

Suddenly the enemy and a minion of his appeared and snatched me from my pedestal I looked him and told him he was going to lose he replied I know that is why I am going to torture you before you leave he for some reason looked like a dark knight and his minion turned into a terrifying golem made of steel with deadly blades I said to satan what will you do if Jesus takes me before you can harm me? he had no reply and instead tried to torture me but I could not be found he tried hunting me down but I kept evading him still knowing in my spirit the rapture was finally here I wasn't afraid and just kept evading him while waiting for the rapture. until finally I had enough playing hide and seek and boldly appeared in front him ready to fight

I said to myself he is going to lose and we both charged at each other like a fight scene you see in movies and it turned into slow motion as we were right at each other and then suddenly the dream ended

Interesting.

I've had dreams before where I'm waiting in a crowded room-- so crowded we were like sardines--and I just knew the moment was at hand. There was this joyful anticipation as we just waited.

Another time I had a dream that my family and I were laying down in an old, abandoned shack. Outside the shack there was a bunch of chaos and we knew that any second, the world would end and we'd get to go home.

This last Sunday night I woke up shrieking. I have these weird waking dreams where I see things. I really don't like it. Anyway, I had been dreaming I had been dumped in a room with endless chairs and tables but there was a nobody there and there was this intense feeling of nothingness...of emptiness. And I just knew it was hell and I was scared because I didn't understand why I was there. I woke but I could still "see" the room outside my bedroom door, which apparently set me to screaming. The fear was...intense.

I have noticed the enemy invading my dreams as of late there was one not very long ago where God was talking to me and said to me that sinners like me can't enter his kingdom I wondered where I went wrong and couldn'y understand why he said this to me because any other time he has spoken to me he called me his beloved child.

I think the enmy has amped up his game because he knows we are not long for this world

Rapture dream

If you read S P Tregelles's book "The Hope of Christ's Second Coming," on Pages 20-21, he gives the origin of the destructive heresy of the secret pre-tribulation advent and rapture, which came into being through false prophecy in Edward Irving's church, which some false teachers seized upon and brought it into main stream Christian doctrine, even though it is not found in the Scriptures and indeed our Lord Jesus spoke against it. (Matt 24v23-27)

If we want to know about Christ's Second Coming and Rapture, the individual believer should go to the prophetic Scriptures on that subject, NOT to questionable supposed dreams or prophecies supposedly from the Holy Spirit. 2Peter 1v18-21

The Scriptures tells us to test ALL things against the Scriptures, and having done so with many of the ones on Christian Chat, I have come to the conclusion that not many are from God, the Holy Spirit, but from either one's imagination, own mind or the powers of darkness! Isaiah 8v19,20.

If a Christian has a dream or vision from The Holy Spirit, there will ALWAYS be God's Presence (hence anointing) upon that person and felt by them, if there is no Presence and anointing, the dream or vision is NOT from God! Acts 2v17, 1John 2v27.

I am NOT against the gifts of the Holy Spirit, visions and dreams; they are and should be part of Christian experience, however, we are told to test ALL things (against the Scriptures) to see if they are genuinely from the Holy Spirit, and especially in these last days! Acts 2v17-21,38,39, Matt 24v4,5,24, 2Thess 2v1-12, 1Tim 4v1,2, 2Tim 3v1-9, 1John 4v1-6.

Yes we all know how some people feel about the rapture but it is spoken of in scripture but I am well versed in the art of debate and know that any argument to defend it prove it or disprove it otherwise is a futile battle

personally as far as dreams go I don't normally give any attention to them as most of my dreams are just that dreams but when I get one from him I know who it is from there is no question about it. as far as holy spirit inspired goes you imply that it was not based on your own understanding of the rapture but say that he did in fact speak to me in a dream who are you to call him a liar? I couldn't care less about the whole rapture debate as far as I have seen no one has ever proven or disproven anyone it's just a constant battle of I am right and you aren't no learning no changing peoples minds just constant arguing

If there is no Presence of the Lord and hence anointing (which will still be lingering after one awakes from sleep, and remain after a vision) the dream/vison is NOT from the Holy Spirit...PERIOD!

Do you have the Presence of the Lord (and hence His anointing) when you get your visions and dreams, because if not, they are NOT from the Lord!

For one so young in the Lord, you can be most bumptious at times, even with mature Christians who have been saved long before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye!

Yes I do have his presence with these things which is why I don't normally post dreams because he rarely gives me dreams but he gives me visions quite frequently but it is different with dreams than visions or even when I write the poems he tells me to write

When it comes to visions and speaking in poems in that moment it feels solid and true as if absolute truth even if I think it is crazy and fear writing such things or when I have my visions it feels inspired guided and true when i see them.

With dreams however there is just a sense of knowing inside just a firm knowing who it was from unlike my other dreams where they are mostly just dreams and can sometimes have tidbits in them from him but are mainly just small bits of encouragement or wisdom.


But yes I can be a bit bumptious bot always in a good way but I also do not take how long one has been saved to determin if I should listen to them or not I have seen many who claimed to be saved for twenty or forty years yet show any kind of wisdom or heart of God and are often times the ones attacking others in the bdf.

The entire debate about the rapture is one that I have become numb to because everyone believes they are in the right they show all the verses they show all the evidence and reason for their stance and it is not to teach it is to prove themselves right some even call others names and use scripture to mock and attack them.

Because of the state of the church and because everyone is so strongheaded in their view and stance on the rapture and because no one is able to actually learn or change anyones mind making them question and think that perhaps it is possible they could be wrong I mainly just leave the rapture out my mind because it is just to tiresome to deal with.

And I especially don't take into account ones view of the rapture to decipher if a dream is from God or not as I know how people are and how unteachable one can be when the rapture comes into play and if I misunderstood you I apiologize but the moment I thought you were inserting your view of the rapture I instantly dicarded it as I honestly don't care what stance anyone has about the rapture
