“The Dream” Series
Today’s Focus: Interpretation of
Dreams
Greetings Sons of God:
Let me lead with this passage of
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 2:9-14: But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit
searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man,
save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no
man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have
received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we
might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words
which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing
spiritual things with spiritual. But the
natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are
foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually
discerned.
Now without understanding this
Scripture, you will always have the wrong interpretation of dreams because of
your lack of proper perception and understanding. Now dreams are ways that God speaks to
us. So, sense this is true then as the
Scripture states above that means the interpretation must be spiritually given
and discerned because it is given by the Spirit. To interpret a dream off of your feelings
and emotions will lead you to either a very limited view and understanding or
even a complete misinterpretation. The
Scripture above says the “natural” or carnal man, or the man perceiving or
interpreting things from his soul, cannot receive the things of the Spirit
because they are spiritually discern.
This is how:
Romans 8:16: The Spirit itself beareth witness with our
spirit, that we are the children of God
It is the fellowship of the Spirit
with our spirit that revelation, illumination and interpretation comes. Now the problem comes when our soul is being
dominant because it will fight the interpretation coming from the spirit, especially
when the soul feels it puts us in a vulnerable position. So for us to get proper interpretation of a
dream and vision from God then it will require the Spirit of God to reveal it
and He will reveal it to our spirit. It
is our responsibility to receive and move as the Spirit directs us.
This is all crucial to really
understand because many are having dreams and because of a lack of spiritual
intervention, people are not recognizing that God is speaking to them. In the next message, we will look at understanding
the manifestation of dreams and visions. Please continue to study with us.
Peace, Love and Grace,
