"Why we need to post our dreams"

 
 Dear John, can you please post as Nicole?


All, I have seen all over the internet those people who copy and paste dreams that they believe are not from God and mock them.   Well I want to talk about this and how to handle this.      The first thing that we are required to do when we have a vision or dream is to write it down, post it.    After that we are to cover it in prayer.    We are to fast, pray and seek the Lord.   

Let me tell you that IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN why would Satan give you dreams and visions of the things of God?   This has never happened to me, the devil has come to me always with the foulest of dreams.   Why would Satan give dreams to me about what is coming in the tribulation so that people could be warned to repent to escape it?    Why would the devil tell us of things of Heaven?    This is ridiculous.    Our angels the Lord assigns us do not know the date of the rapture.   However they see that Heaven is ready, the wedding feast is ready, everything is prepared and they are standing around waiting on the trumpet.   When we come up with a timeline or a study or even in our own heart our desire for a certain date comes up in a dream, they get excited.   They encourage us to that next leg of the race because that date could be as good as a day as any.    These angels are ministering spirits and getting us to the next rapture watch date is just so we stay on our toes.   I have noticed that there is the Bride and there are those who think they are the Bride.    Those that think they are the Bride, they get hyped up about a rapture watch date and when the date passes either based upon a study or a dream, they get so angry they accuse people of being fake, getting their information from the devil, and they crucify them all over the internet.    These people have just fallen off the race and did not make it to the next leg.    They became discouraged and angry and filled with sin.    Their discernment was off not looking back at the clues that were left for them and realizing that it was an event of prophecy that they were supposed to look at and how it fits into the piece of the puzzle and not necessarily the rapture itself.    To discern, you must rise above human assumption and error and get to the heart of the vision, dream and study itself.    Those who are the Bride easily overcome the hardship of the marathon and when they get to that next leg of the race and realize it was not the finish line as they expected, they overcome their disappointment and get the energy and joy to get to the next leg.    One of these times they realize that next leg will be the finish line.     If you are the Bride, you must have the STRENGTH to keep going no matter what and stand together with the rest of the bride and STOP mocking them.   

Now I had a situation when I was 20 years old that I can relate to those people who get very angry at Christians who post dreams and visions and they appear not to come to pass.   They feel that the vision or dream was not of God and they are on a forum to lead others astray.   When I was 20 years old in 1998, my mother received a gift of writing from the Holy Spirit.   She actually said she saw the hand of God above hers as she wrote.   She would write the craziest things in my opinion and it scared me so bad that I told her she was getting her information from the devil.   One of the things she said is that the Lord was coming in October.    When she said this I thought it was the rapture and so I stayed up all night on October 27th waiting on the Lord.   I waited all night and He did not rapture me and I cried all day.   It hurt me and I told my mother and screamed at her she was a false prophet.   What I failed to understand is that my sister was going on a mission trip to Honduras with the church and that night a terrible Hurricane---Hurricane Mitch went through Honduras and a million people were homeless.   My sister was on the way with the Lord to bring the message of the gospel and help rebuild there, bringing tons of clothing to them as well.    I did not specifically take the words of my mother and pray over them and watch for the prophecy to be fulfilled.      Another time she wrote that when a civil war breaks out in Mexico and starts to try to come over the border with the United States, that the rapture would happen.   I thought she was totally crazy.     But now, what are we seeing?   

Another thing that caught my eye and this was actually last year was a guy named WeatherBill who was saying that a MAJOR prophetically significant earthquake that would occur September 3, 2010.   Now WeatherBill ASSUMED it would be in Los Angeles, California where I live.   Now I started praying that this earthquake would not happen at my house because I live on the San Andreas fault line.   But this earthquake occurred at Christchurch, New Zealand where there was no fault there.   Hm, yes very significant prophetically.  

When you read someone's dream or vision, please fast and pray over it.   When the Lord says He is coming, PLEASE ask Him, WHAT IS THE FORM OF THY COMING?    Sometimes when people post their visions and dreams they add their own two cents.  When you read the vision or dream, please delete these personal thoughts or comments out and get to the heart of the message and pray over that.   For example, my son dreamed in Heaven after the rapture he saw Abraham Lincoln.   I made a comment that upon seeing him my son and I wondered possibly if the rapture could happen around Thanksgiving.    This is an example of what you as a reader should dismiss, these personal assumptions.    As we all know we had a rapture watch for Hanukkah because the Lord said He was coming.   Well the Lord did come and He came in the form of fulfilling prophecy as the fires on Mt. Carmel were the sign of Elijah and after the fire it rained EXACTLY the way it rained in Elijah's time, then he was raptured.   We had a rapture watch New Years Eve and the Lord did come on New Year's Eve with the birds falling out of the sky.   

This is the time to repent if you have mocked others or called them false prophets.   Somethings you may not understand.   That is OK.   We will understand everything VERY shortly.   If you do not understand a person's dream or vision and you feel it may hurt your walk, then DO NOT READ IT.   Because the enemy may come in to try to twist it to confuse you personally.    Walk away from it and then pray and ask the Lord if you personally should read it.   Not all dreams and visions are for everyone.
