Ask God for a dream

Job 33:14-15 KJV

Job the patriarch said: "For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night... while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men" (Job 33:14-16 NKJV). A dream can be an important message from God or an answer to your prayer. God gave Paul a dream in which a man from Macedonia appeared to him saying, "Come over and help us" (see Acts 16:9). And Paul went there and preached the gospel. Solomon's reign as king of Israel begins with these words: "In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee" (1 Kings 3:5 KJV). Solomon asked God for great wisdom, and God gave him wisdom, honour, and riches.

Would God still speak to us today in dreams? Yes. He says: "I am the Lord, I change not" (Malachi 3:6 KJV). The Hebrew word for dream is "chalom." It has five meanings:

(1) "To bind firmly." This pictures you being wrapped securely in God's love.
(2) "To be or make plump." In the Bible, fatness or plumpness is a picture of health, well-being, and prosperity.
(3) "A sense of dumbness." When God gives you a dream, He is sharing with you information about things of which you are ignorant.
(4) "To be in good liking." When God gives you a dream, He is showing favour toward you.
(5) "To recover." When God gives you a dream, He is working on restoring what you have lost. So, ask God for a dream.

Today God is calling you (3)

I have prayed for you, that your faith will not fail.' Luke 22:32 NASB

God wants you to do His will, but you'll never reach the place of spiritual maturity in which you're free of Satan. You can overcome him, but you can't eliminate him. Look at Peter. He had only one gear: overdrive. He was always...More
