HEARING GOD’S VOICE 16 –

How Do I Hear God’s Voice? 11 — MORE ON VISIONS, DREAMS AND TRANCES 2



“And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” 

Numbers 12:6-8 (ESV)



As we have previously discussed, considering the various means by which God speaks to His people, we noticed God still speaks to His people through dreams and visions.

Dreams and visions are not obsolete. They are still relevant but are useful to the believer only within the boundaries of the scriptures.

Visions, Dreams and Trances are not evil. These are means of prophetic communication.

God did speak to people in the scriptures through these methods and even in our day He still uses such to send prophetic messages.

There are times dreams, visions and trances are used interchangeably. But these have their unique meanings.

Dreams are projected images and imaginary transactions or deep thoughts which engage the soul and the mind of a person whiles asleep. They come in different forms. Dreams play out as simple direct messages or simple symbolic thoughts which are interpretative in themselves.

Joseph’s dreams where the sheaves, sun or moon bowed to him were simple Hebraic symbolic dreams. When he narrated the dreams to his family, they didn’t have to inquire of interpretation. The symbols in dream were well understood in their cultural sense (Genesis 37:5-10).

In the New Testament we see another dream by Joseph Mary’s husband. His dreams (Matthew 2:13-22) were also direct instructive messages which didn’t require any interpretation.

There is also the multiplex symbolic dreams. These dreams have complex features or elements which require a person with the wisdom to dissolve enigmas and hard sentences.

This is just as you can see in the book of Daniel; King Nebuchadnezzar had dreams which were complex (Daniel 2 and Daniel 4).
Such sophisticated multiplex dreams either troubles the heart or makes one restless in their sleep.

Mostly because of the unfamiliar meanings of the imagery or the manners by which it pricks the dreams emotions.

Daniel also had similar type of dream and had to seek for divine interpretation to understand the complexity of the dream (Daniel 7).

After communicating the dream, he said, “Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.” Daniel 7:28 (KJV).

The complexity of a dream is in it’s features and how to challenges your conceptions.

As I have mentioned earlier in this series (or in other episodes), God doesn’t primarily lead you through dreams. God speaks to you through His Word. Dreams and Visions are secondary mediums by which He communicates with us.

Understand that dreams are also projected by demonic forces. The dreams of God will always have substantial character of the knowledge and revelation of God. Demonic dreams will always contradict the revelation of the scriptures.

This means a believer in Christ must not build his life and confidence on dreams.

Sorcerers also dream. But what they don’t have is the truth of the Word of God.

“Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.” Zechariah 10:1-2 (KJV)

There are people who travel to see sorcerers who are also dreamers to predict their future.

But that is not the way of the saints in Christ. We search the scriptures. Don’t wait for a dream before you walk in the direction of the Lord. God speaks to you plainly in His scriptures.

“When people tell you, “Try out the fortunetellers. Consult the spiritualists. Why not tap into the spirit-world, get in touch with the dead?” Tell them, “No, we’re going to study the Scriptures.” People who try the other ways get nowhere—a dead end!” Isaiah 8:19-20 (Message Bible)

You may receive a word of the Lord through dreams. But judge every dream with the scriptures.

Hallelujah!

DIG DEEPER
(Genesis 20:3-6; Judges 7:13; 1 Kings 3:5-14; Matthew 27:19; Matthew 1:20)
 
WE PRAY
We pray that the Lord shall grant us deep understanding to properly interpret the dreams of the Lord. We pray also that our souls and minds will be protected from demonic dreams.

Dreams in themselves cannot direct the life of a believer, every dream has to judged in the context of the scripture. Dreams can be instructive but the entirety of our lives should directed and influenced by the scriptures.

When others say let us go and see the fortune tellers or diviners, why not tap into the spirit real to hear from the dead, we will say, we are going to study the scriptures. This reality has not changed!
Hallelujah
