Three sources of dream you should know

Pst Olumide Akinrinlola

The Dictionary defines “Dream” as a series of thoughts, images or emotions occurring during sleep.

To dream is peculiar to all living being. I am not sure of the dead but I know everyone is dreaming. But not everyone remembers their dreams. Base on this fact, some will say I don’t dream at all which is not correct. I am not sure we have people who don’t dream at all. If any, that is too dangerous and not spiritually healthy for such people.

Origin of Dreams.

Dreams can come from God, the devil and can be manufactured by yourself.

God

God uses dream most often to speak to people over things of the Spirit that Natural Eyes can’t see or what a trained psychologist can’t decode.

Our God can use dreams base on the following:

To restrain evil. Gen 20:3
To reveal God’s will. Gen 28:1-22
To encourage. Judges 7:13-15
To reveal the future. Gen 37:5-10
To instruct. Mathew 1:20
To warn. Mathew 2:12 (Daniel 4)
To Guide. Act 16:6-10
To Provide answers. Ezekiel 1:1

God can use dream to also speak to unbelievers as well. God spoke to Pharaoh in Gen 41:1-7 through dream to warn him. What about Abimelech in Gen 20:3-7.

The Devil

Satan also reveals things to people. Satan is also another source of dreams. Satan can also appear or send messages to people in their dreams. Not all dreams are from God.

Purpose of Satanic Dreams

Satan uses Dreams to steal, to kill, and to destroy .(John 10:10.) Satan does not have other mission on earth than to do you evil.

Dreams manufactured by Yourself

These are your thoughts or imagination before you go to bed. It is not real. This is a dream you created by yourself before you sleep base on the thought of your heart. It is not original. Though, you are a product of your imagination if you are fervent in prayer and has faith in what you believe.

Your dream is your spiritual monitor. It helps you to know a lot of things you can’t know physically about yourself. Some will say you are what you are in your dream. This is not correct. You are only what you are in your dream if you accept defeat or refuse to reject such dreams.

You have power to nullify every dreams not from God or every dreams not satisfactory to you.

How To Discern Your True Dream

– Be familiar with what the scripture says about what you dreamt about.
– Your Bible can be a guide.
– Try to recall what you thought about before you sleep.
– You can ask God about it ( The Holy Spirit) is there to help you if you pray about it.
– Try to know the meaning of your dream and what it’s saying.

Above all, you must be born again. You need to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Jesus is the only solution to all things. Jesus is the only source of Sweet Dreams and revelations. Jesus is the only one that can give you that Joseph Dreams you want.

I just told you!

Say : Lord Jesus, I am sorry for my sin. Forgive me. (confess your sin) I accept you today as my Lord and Saviour, come into my life and remain there forever. Amen.
