Points on dreams, judgment, prophecy, and rejection are shared, today. Where dreams are not devices used to make the character and nature of divinity known, dreams are a by-product of being alive in flesh and responding to appetite (e.g., hunger, thirst, sexual cravings), sense (e.g., hearing, seeing, tasting, touching) and emotion/mental functions (e.g., anger, fear, imagination, recall). With GOD, the future is not foretold and shown to mankind as knowledge to benefit an individual, as instructions and messages for only one person and their family, or to announce discrete events and their outcomes. Rather, the future is declared and proclaimed in such forms as law, prophecy and Scripture that reveal divine intent, ongoing sacred process, and eternal purpose. A new writer at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Lindsay” (Level 1 with 95 points, a member since March 10, 2015) posted the following:
Dreams about being rejected by God?
Lately I have been having so weird dreams. They all come in different ways but they all end up with me getting rejected by God. I don't go to hell or anything but I'm in this really weird purgatory and I'm trying to find God and I can hear angels singing. As soon as I get close to him I just get pushed back. It s really got me messed up.
I know I probably should have taken this to a Christian site or something but I couldnt find one... So.. Help?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. (Jeremiah 23: 28-32, KJV)

“Lindsay”, it is usually best to avoid giving personal or intimate spiritual advice (we say, pastoral counsel) to others when we have no clear knowledge of their preparation to receive sacred fruit from the ministries of Jesus Christ. Those who intercede and intervene for strangers also must be accountable for unforeseen and unintended outcomes within experiences, and lives they can not control. Even so, there are many principles and seeds for correct understanding that believers may share to further release others from spiritual confusion. Consider the following:
(1.) The operations of GOD to reveal divinity through dreams only appear as a further presentation of prophecy—demonstrations and messages from divinity through specially prepared agents (we say, apostles, prophets, spokespersons, those sent) intended to build up (we say, edify), comfort, and exhort (we say, urge to immediate action) the entire church.
(2.) GOD is not the author of confusion, thus, dreams, miracles and visions are not the most important features for Christian believers. While there is diversity for the multiple gifts and messages ministered among mankind, they all agree (we say, corroborate) and support one another as expressions of a single Deity, of clearly documented eternal purposes, and of specific principles that continue doctrinal and historical unity.
(3.) The interpretation of dreams sent by GOD certainly can be supplied by the Holy Spirit (as seen with Joseph in Genesis, or the Apostle Peter in the Book of Acts). However, all believers are not given that specific gift. Like sin that overwhelms human awareness and self-will, fascination with death, occult, and supernatural teachings influence mankind to oppose the holy writings.
(4.) For many, admonition, caution, and warnings are most clearly provided through the sanctions (declaration of consequences, effects and results of disobedience including punishments) proclaimed as divine law.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and properly apprehended. (For example, (5.) Through Jesus Christ, believers should be able to grasp that the process of GOD has not been focused upon damnation and death. Rather, the focus is salvation, eternal life, and love. Christ has avoided cruelty, threats, and violence. The Lord has gone forward using such tools as fellowship with experienced believers, forbearance, forgiveness, healing, repentance, and truth. All are correct to be in awe, for GOD does appear. However, anxiety, dread, and fear that signal deep human emotions are useless to establish and maintain right relationship with our Creator.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith and spiritual maturity.

(02/26/2015) Divinely Sent Dreams?
Today, Scriptures are shared to clarify the difference between discernment and prophetic dreams as opposed to nightmares with occult or psychiatric interpretation of dreams. A writer at “Yahoo! Answers” using the ID “Criss” (Level 1 with 93 points, a member since February 26, 2015) appeared to be entangled with the following:
Spiritual Dream/Warfare?
This is a question for those who believe in spiritual warfare etc. I'm Non-Denominational. Anyways to begin my story.. I get spiritual dreams.. where I can actually see/sense things that shouldn't be there.. usually I can get through it and sleep through the night..
However tonight was different.
I had a dream and I could sense something at my doorway (I could see it shifting around in my dream too)) and I guess it spooked me so much that I woke up.
I woke up at 2:00 am, its's now 3:00.. I don't sense it anymore that much.. I've had Elijah Streams playing for the past hour.
Has anyone else experienced this? What do you do to deal with it? Thanks.
THE GOLDEN ARROW: How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (1st Corinthians 14: 26-33, KJV)

“Criss”, prophetic dreams and visions sent from GOD all provide guidance and instruction. Believers in Jesus Christ examine and decide upon the meaning of their dreams by applying the lessons and principles recorded in Scripture such as the following from the King James Version of the Bible:
(1.) Acts 2: 16-18 (KJV): 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
(2.) Jeremiah 23: 28 (KJV): The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
(3.) Jeremiah 23: 32 (KJV): Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
(4.) 1st Corinthians 14: 1-3 (KJV): Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Of course, there is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (5.) Ecclesiastes 5: 2-3 (KJV): 2 Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.) Even so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith and spiritual maturity.
