The Purpose for this new blog is more than need for a place to document these new events in my Life. In the last few years my desire to have closer and closer walk with the Lord has been evident. Along with that has come so many different view of many things I have felt on my walk. The newest reason for having a place like this is to document some of my dreams and to be able to have a better look at them and what they could mean if any thing. Also to observe some Christian ministers who have some suggestions and opinions.
I will be starting with most recent dream and then go more than 30 years back to look at some very strong and unusual dreams in my past.
There will also be some thoughts on some of my new attempts to follow the word of God and seek new direction. It will seem random at times for I will simple put them down as they come to me. There is so much to say about the last few years. Primarily since my study with Beth Moore and Kay Arthur have open my eyes to the lover of my soul.
It is the Dreams that gives me the urge to get this on paper. My interest in dreams and what they could mean has been an ongoing desire for over 30 years. About a month ago I happen to tap a show called The Jewish Jesus Rabbi Kirt Schineider. My interest in Christian Jews has been going on for some time. Out of the clear blue he was teaching on a Gen. passage about Enoch who walked with the Lord and his teaching was on how we can more than know the Lord we can walk with him. The passionate cry of my heart to Know God, to hear him and to walk with him is a growing desire. As I watched him he began on a segment about God talking to us through dreams. Now he had my complete attention. As I will share later I have had over the years some very exceptional dreams and have always wanted help with them from a person I trusted who was a person of God. Now of course I didn't know this Rabbi Schineider but I was ready to listen. I decided I would just take each step he gave on understanding our dream. (a). line them up with the word of God and (b). listen for a reaction from the holy spirit and (c). at some point share with a open minded sister or brother in Christ. With this plan in mind I began listing and eventually using some of his suggestions.
He gave 4 suggestions
1. Expect God to at some time share with you in dreams.
2. When you wake up ask yourself, did I dream anything last night.
3. write it out just as you remember it.
4. write what you think it might mean at that moment then pray to God for help understanding.
These suggestion seem relatively safe and did not seem contrary to Gods word. God has several times in the past spoke to people in dreams. The Rabbi spent some time reminding us of them. Expecting God to share with little old me in a dream seems a bit bold but not impossible. Writing the dream down is something that makes sense for I have learned the value of that in the past, for dreams fad very fast. According to Rabbi Schineider your dreams are in your short term memory and the act of writing them out helps place them in long term memory. Is that true, don't know but it makes sense.
I decided to try some of the Rabbis suggestions. I have seriously searched my heart and decided I believed that God 1st. could talk to us in dreams. I gave this great thought. I believe God and Jesus can if they so choose to speak to me in dreams. This is quit a leap of faith on my part. But yes, I will ask God to do just that, and even as I decided this I was fearful of the out come. Just why I was not sure, but fear it was. Fear he wouldn't give me a dream and diminish the God I had spent hour after hour learning about. But what if he does, OH my to have the creator of the universe draw his attention from saving the world to sit and give information to lowly me.
So next we will discuss the first of 6 dreams in 3 days.
