Why you should be paying attention to your dreams

“’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” Acts 2:17

Do you think that dream you had last night may have been to do with you digesting that curry? Or was it you processing your thoughts from the day? Perhaps you are under the misapprehension that even though God spoke to people in the Bible through dreams, He doesn’t do so anymore. This is erroneous thinking. If you follow that course of logic we would need to discount tongues, visions, prophecy, the lot. Do you pay any attention to your dreams at all?

Throughout the ages, and as the Bible shows, from Genesis to Revelation God has been speaking to us in the symbolic language of dreams and visions, and He still speaks to us through dreams today: to believers and non believers alike; to prophets, priests, ordinary men and women, and ungodly kings. From the Abramic covenant that established the nation of Israel to the 5 dreams that surrounded the circumstances of Jesus’s birth to the grande finale of the extended visions that take place in the book of Revelation. Nothing has changed. God uses the same heavenly lingua franca that He has done since the ancient of days. Since He is the Ancient of Days! God has been directing me, warning me, encouraging me and otherwise speaking to me through my dreams since I was a tiny child and I first had encounters with angels in my dreams. The Bible is a powerhouse of prophecy, poetry, exposition and song, that details the lives of ordinary people that God instructed and made dynamic through dreams and visions. You too can have these daily messages delivered to you. The prophet Joel tells us, and the apostle Paul reminds us, that in the last days - these days - people will have dreams and visions. You too can wake up to experiencing dreams. Start paying attention to the symbolic language of dreams today. My new book will show you that you only need God, the Bible, a journal and a willing heart and mind to learn to decode your dreams. God has plenty to say to you if only you will wake up!
