"Dreams and visions when inspired by the Holy Spirit can be powerful means in which God speaks to His people. Isaiah 6:1-8, Daniel 8:1-27, Job 33:14-18, Matthew 1:19-21."
A word of warning before I share. Young Christians can easily become fascinated with the “special cases,” and exalt these above the more simple and ordinary daily ways God uses to speak to us. To deliberately seek or glorify any form of guidance is an outright invitation to spiritual deception, We are not to seek or specify how God should speak, but only seek Him in any way that He wishes to make Himself known.
The Holy Spirit is able to give you a “check” inside as to whether or not something is of God. You must never act on a doubtful impression, especially if it is accompanied by haste. God leads, not pushes! Rushed urgings are usually of the enemy. There is never a feeling of worry or fear with the voice of the Good Shepherd. His Voice is gentle, familiar-sounding, loving, and leaves you with a sense of spiritual uplift and rejoicing; never fright. (John10:3-5,14-16,27-28) Test all of your spiritual leadings by the Word of God, especially whenever you feel a sense of uneasiness or fear. (Rom. 8:14-16; John 14:16-17; 1 John 2:27, 4:1- 3,13; Col.1:9-11).
Although God greatly desires to speak to each of us personally, He also likes to use other members of the Body of Christ to pass on needed pieces of the “puzzle” to us. This helps teach us gratitude for His work in the lives of others, and the needed lessonthat none of us are a law or light to ourselves. We can learn a lot from other Christians,although in the end, we are responsible to no one but Him.
God has three answers in guidance: “Yes,” “No,” and “Wait”. We cannot have a demanding attitude towards God. Sometimes there must be delays. Our lives are bound up with others, and many times God has to wait until they are ready, (or until we are), before giving us the go-ahead. “Wait” is the most difficult of all answers, but sometimes it’s the most necessary. Here is the test of a love-slave. (Psalm 62:1,5, 33:20, 25:5, 27:14, 40:1, 130:5, 37:7; Isaiah 40:31, 49:23; Hosea 12:6; 1 Chron.28:9).
STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION SO THAT I CAN COLLECT AND TYPE OUT THE DREAMS AND SPECIAL PROFOUND MOMENTS GOD SPOKE TO ME IN VARIOUS WAYS SO THAT I CAN SHARE THEM WITH YOU.EVERYTHING I WRITE IS TRUE AND IT IS SOMETHING I KEPT IN A JOURNAL YEARS AGO IN A BINDER THAT I HAVE SAVED. I NOW PLAN ON SHARING THEM PUBLICLY; SOMETHING I FEEL WILL HONOR AND GLORIFY GOD AND HIS AWESOMENESS. **True insights coming soon!**
IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE HAD GOD REVEAL HIMSELF TO ME IN THE WAYS HE DID IN THE PAST. OFTEN WHEN I REREAD THESE JOURNALS OF MOMENTS AND TIMES HE HAS SPOKEN TO MY 'GUT', OR IN A DREAM, I GET GOOSEBUMPS. I FEEL SO HONORED AND BLESSED THAT GOD WOULD COME TO ME IN DIFFERENT WAYS, EVEN IF SOMETIMES IT WAS TO CORRECT ME; TO EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE IS AMAZING!
Bare with me as I jot all of these posted 'visits' from God down. It'll probably take me a bit, so keep checking back periodically to see when I finally have them up. But like I said; it'll be a little while first. Many blessings to you!
