The power of dreams
These past couple of weeks, I feel like had some prophetic dreams. The symbolism seem to speak about things that are going on in my church right now.
I find myself often unsure of whether my dreams are really prophetic or not. So I usually go more towards the side of that it’s not. But after reflecting on it and then something happens, I find myself wondering if it really was.
So, to find out for sure, I’m going to start keeping a dream journal right next to my bed. Every time I wake up from a dream, I’ll write it down regardless of whether I think it’s prophetic or not. And I’ll pray through what it is that God is trying to speak through those dreams and write what I interpret and what symbols I see.
It seems like a daunting task, but I’m curious because the frequency of “prophetic” dreams have increased. It’s hard to describe how I know. The dreams tend to be much more clearer, and much easier to remember. But that’s not always the case.
I’ve posted a few of my prophetic dreams if you wanted to look at the ones I’ve shared.
Does anyone else think they have the give of prophesy? If so, I could use your advice! Post here.
I do have prophetic dreams every couple of years, and they come in spurts, like every night for a week, and then no more for a year or two. I don’t have any trouble telling them from normal dreams though because they haunt me. I’ll see things to remind me of them all day long, and I just can’t get them out of my head, sometimes for weeks, or even months. It was in fact after my first week of these dreams ever, back before high school, that I was saved, because it was the first time I stopped to pay attention to the fact that God can act in my life. It’s an incredible gift, to know you’ve met God in a more concrete way than most people get to, although sometimes I wonder if having faith without this “gift” is the better gift.
