DREAMS AND VISIONS

Thursday, June 10, 2010
1 Corinthians 2:9-12
But 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, except 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 who is of GOD; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of GOD.

Today, we are going to look at dreams and visions which come from GOD and see how we can discern them.
The Scripture for today is very complete and thorough. It tell us that it is ONLY the Spirit of GOD who reveals GOD to us. So, the first heart-step that we must take is the one written in the Scripture from the beginnings: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our GOD is ONE LORD: and thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. (Deuteronomy 6:4,5). The next heart-step is to Believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST and you shall be saved; Next, confess your sins unto almighty GOD; Next, Be Baptized into Christ; next, Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then, we can say in truth, My heart is fixed, O LORD, my heart is fixed (Psalm 57:7).
When our heart is fixed on the LORD, when we are filled with His HOLY SPIRIT, we have the mind of CHRIST. How do we study the way of GOD so that we know HIM and His ways?
READ, STUDY AND INWARDLY DIGEST THE HOLY SCRIPTURE. Psalm 119:11 says: THY Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against THEE. JESUS said: When He, the Spirit of truth is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come. (John 16:13).

Dreams and visions that come from GOD are for our good and will always be confirmed by Holy Scripture. Jesus said: All things that the Father hath are mine; therefore said I that He shall take of mine, and show it unto you.
