One way God speaks to me is through dreams. Last year I dreamed that someone was placing peace on or in my left chest. I said, “Oh good, now I can go to it and feel it whenever I need it.” Last week I dreamed someone was saying to me: “Give it time.” After some reflection, I knew the areas…
Recently I dreamed the lights on my Christmas tree suddenly went out. Alarmed, I called out for help. As I awakened, I immediately understood the meaning of my dream. I knew what God was trying to show me. Most dreams convey their messages using images, pictures, and metaphors in a figurative and imaginative way. Unfamiliar with symbolic language, our Western…
Don’t think you dream, or don’t remember those images flowing across your mind every night? No Matter. It has been proven beyond doubt that everyone dreams—often many times per night. Experts tell us we dream five to seven times during an ordinary night’s sleep! That adds up to one or two hours of dreams every night—five years of dreaming in…
Christmas will soon be here. But do you know the vital role of dreams in the story of this celebrated birth? Joseph dreams of an angel telling him to not be afraid to take Mary as his wife, even though she is with child (Mt. 1:20). The Lord God protects the Christ Child by warning the Magi in a dream,…
Recently I was interviewed by our local newspaper. The editor sent questions, and I spent the entire weekend trying to figure out how to answer them. The questions forced me to look back over my life and try to explain it to a complete stranger. In some way, it forced me to think about the meaning and purpose of my…
Early in our spiritual journey my husband, Jerry, and I discovered that the dream is not merely a meaningless response to sense stimuli during sleep. From a biblical standpoint, the dream presents a way for God to speak directly to His people while they slumber in their beds. One type of message God uses the dream for is to give…
I’ve just opened a dream sharing & interpretation group on Facebook. If you are interested in understanding dreams from a Christian perspective and would like to join our group, let me know. This is something I’ve talked about doing for several years and now I’ve finally done it. Jerry and I pray that some of you will discover another…
When it comes to forgiveness, we need to understand the work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Although everything Jesus did for us is factual, unless we have revelation of it in our heart, it will not be real to us. If we want to fully benefit from what happened on the cross, we must see it and know it…
When I was a kid, I believed all the Bible stories. The characters were real people, they heard from God, their world—and eventually, indirectly, mine—was changed, things happened in the spiritual dimension. But that was then; God functions quite differently in the 20th century, according to the King James Bible (Scofield’s notes said so, and they were right up there…
Many years ago, I dreamed the following dream. I believe it was metaphorically depicting the nature of the journey that the Spirit of God was inviting me to. “Jump,” the Voice behind me urges. Filled with apprehension, I look out the window. A sea of rooftops stretches into the distance. I understand that this unseen Voice wants me to leap…
