BREATHING LIFE TO DREAMS AND VISIONS (PART 1)

  JAN 16^TH.

TEXT: Job 33:14-18King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

¹⁶ Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

¹⁷ That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

¹⁸ He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

Each of us have been wired by God to have one means of divine communication or the other with Him. It is amazing that the Almighty God does try to get across to us one way or the other, but not everyone is sensitive enough to perceive it. By virtue of dreams and visions He intends to guide us into His will, but not many even care to take note. To many, it is just a dream, and that is how the enemy has succeeded in manipulating their destinies. A careful study of our passage will reveal to you that God does speak to us often through dreams. Sometimes, this dream could be an experience we had as we slept, but at some other times it is a strong impression and desire in our hearts to accomplish something. When most people receive such dreams, they often don’t know how to go about it. Some will turn to their traditional belief or superstition as the try to get the interpretation, and others will look for some medium to conjure for them, but only few are sensitive to find out the will of God the right way.

From our text for today, it became obvious that dreams are serious messages that can determine life and death, success and failure, yet many don’t care. When you have a dream, you have a divine message that only a messenger of God can truly interpret. Don’t be careless to subject your destiny to someone who is not in tune with God. Life and death are in the power of the tongue (see Proverbs 18:21); don’t allow someone speak death to your life through interpretation of your dreams. When people give interpretations, they are actually prophesying to you. Be sensitive, take time to select those who speak over and into your life, dreams and destiny. What is spoken over you can breathe life or death to your dreams and visions.
