Something is happening to me
Acts 2:17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.
Gen 49:1 And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
Isaiah 2:2-4 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the Lord's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it.
Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.

Please share, WordIsONe. Are you having dreams or visions? You're not alone, if that is the case.

Well...I wouldn't be surprised to hear more and more of these kind of things...they are prophesied, and are scriptural, for these latter days...which we most certainly are in. And, there is no reason to suppose that ALL of these visions, and dreams, have to be of national, or world, shaking importance. Unless you are a minister or something, the bulk of them might just apply to you alone. For example, I don't experience any visions, but I do have dreams which might maybe occasionally be "inspired". (I'm 60...so maybe I qualify to be one of those "old" men...) (?)
Anyway, just for example: very early this morning I had a dream where I saw a hand reach down to me. In the hand was a beautiful rose. Then a voice (not audible...just the thought) said "go buy your wife a rose on the way home from work today...". Was this dream from God? I don't know. But, I do know that on the way home from work today, I'm going to stop somewhere and buy my wife a beautiful rose...

The day that I became a Christian was in the spring of 2002, I was baptized by the Holy Spirit, I can even recall the time it was 8:30 a.m. but to be honest, I know only God can make true Christians so I am working my way up. Since then I had this hunger for the word. Every day I study the Bible. the only way I can explain I can see a mystery.
If you can bear my spelling I will try to give you my best answer to your question

I've seen the hand of God in a dream before. In my dream He was showing me that He would be watching over me and protecting me on a trip.

There was no doubt in my mind that it was a dream from God... There was a snowstorm coming and I was worried about the trip.

I sure hope you'll share your dream with your precious wife.
She'll certainly be convinced that the Lord is watching over her, that He loves her and cares very much about her feelings!

That's awesome.

God bless you!

Pray to Christ tell him of your dreams continue to pray and he will give you your answer. It will take some time. Confess to him and he will answer you.

When I have certain dreams I pray to ask God the interpretation of the dream.

The great miracle of true Christians across the centuries is God the Holy Spirit inhabiting the same body we do. When we are only born of Adam into the world we see, hear feel the world as an Adamic human. God's dwelling within brings God's seeing, hearing and feeling into us. Born of Adam means we have Adamic senses. Born again of God means we have Divine senses. Extended or spiritual senses are native to everyone with Jesus in them. We have been born again into the kingdom of God where both the realm and the ruler of it is God. Now we can see God and see by the means of God things like God sees. The same with the other senses. Yet, it is partial and in a foretaste until the liberation of our bodies into the glory.

Whatever it means that the resurrected Jesus ascended into the right (hand) of the Father, it means He could send Himself as spirit into us since the day of Pentecost. We can no longer "go to church" (a phrase not found in the Bible) since the twin tongues of fire came upon us. Everywhere we go we are the Church. Because Jesus is in us all that He is and does is in us. Maturity is the extent to which we are available to Him. We are to progress through all the functions of God as man as we grow into the same image. Evangelist deepens into prophet. Prophecy increases experience with the Divine nature until qualified to be sent. The special emissary, or apostle yet presses into victory over death. These functions are all aspects of the nature of Him Who dwells within. We are the flesh of God in the earth.

While for beginning or special meetings "the lecture structue" is valid; yet, if we are to mature into the fulness of Christ -- both corporately experience all that Jesus is and does among us and individually attaining to a perfect, mature, finished man -- it is necessary for us to normally meet in "the round-table structure," every member participating, that Christ may be head of His many-membered body. This provides for the development of all Jesus is and does in each of us. To be audiences for the paid performances of a few with titles of honor from other men is not God's plan for maturing us.

Not how much I can prophecy, lay hands on the sick and they recover, or other manifestations of the anointing; rather, the measure of ministry is the extent to which I can raise up the manifestation of Christ through others.

Smile Follow-up...

Well...this sure was an interesting day!
Early this morning I told everyone here about the dream I had, where I was told to "go buy my wife a rose on my way home from work".

Around 2PM I called my wife on the phone, just to check on her. She sounded sad and despondant. I said "what's wrong?". She said "I feel so sad...I feel like crying...". I said "why?" ...."I don't know....I just do..." After a little more talk, where I could get no more out of her, I finally hung up, and immediately decided it was the right thing to do: I'd get her a rose on the way home. So after work, I stopped at the local Safeway store, which had a nice flower shop, and looked for the single roses, because the dream said to buy her "a rose", not a dozen roses, not other kinds of flowers, but a rose. There were no single roses on display, just bunches of a dozen. I asked the lady at the shop if I could buy just a single rose. She said cheerfully "of course...I will get one for you. What color do you want?" I said "oh...I don't know...just pick one that looks nice..." A few minutes later she appeared with TWO roses, in a nice little bouquet. I said it looked fine, paid for it, thanked her, and drove on home.

When I entered the house, I saw right away that my wife (Sunshine) was "down and out"...almost crying. I presented the roses, and then told her about the dream I had that morning. How I was instructed in the dream to "go buy her a rose on my way home from work". To my surprise, she immediately burst into tears and sobs. After regaining composure, she explained: "you have no idea what this means to me. I have been praying ALL DAY for God to let me know that my son's wife is ok...to send me a sign. You see, she DIED on this day , exactly 10 years ago. She was only 23 years old! She died suddenly, while walking across a bridge...just collapsed and died. Nobody knows why...even the doctors didn't know. One minute she was in perfect health, then the next she was suddenly gone. I've been so sad all day...thinking about it. I put a red and white rose where they found her, in the middle of the bridge..."
I was just speechless, looking at her, then at the two roses...both were red and white. I didn't know what to say. Finally I just gave her a big hug, and said "I think God answered your prayer". What to me had been just "another dream", had meant so much to her. Now she knows God really cares. (a lesson for me: LISTEN!)
Why did I end up with TWO roses, instead of the ONE I was told to get? I don't know...I had told the sales lady I wanted one, but she gave me two instead. And then she kind of went out of her way to make it look way nicer with the "babies breath" and fern. Is that significant? I don't know...maybe. Below is a pic of the actual flowers...

Bud
PS: Sunshine is not sad now...she says God answered her prayer...all is well...

Smile Dreams come true


Psalms 73:20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise the image of my Dreams.
He
Psalms 126:1-3 When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The LORD hath done great things for them.
The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.
