HOW TO HANDLE DISTURBING DREAMS AND VISIONS

HOW TO HANDLE DISTURBING DREAMS AND VISIONS. Lately I’ve been getting questions from people that have had disturbing dreams and vision. I’ve had a few myself recently. Here are 6 ways to assist you when you have a disturbing dream or vision. 1. Every dream isn’t from the Spirit of God. This is something that you must continue to discern. Our subconscious and the dream world could be tied together to give us images of a hidden thought or desire in our heart. Pray about which dreams are from the Spirit of God and how God would have you to address these. 2. Don’t be so quick to share your vision and dream. Some visions may disturb you to the point where you want to talk about them right away. They will sit with you and you will wonder what they could mean. Daniel had many visions and dreams. He even said that he was disturbed by some of them to the point of exhaustion. What did Daniel do? He went to sleep. In other words he rested and let the dream/vision rest with him. Sit with it and continue to keep seeking God for understanding. 3. If the dream/vision is concerning someone or something around you start paying more attention to them or that thing. As the scripture says “watch and pray”. Notice changes or areas of challenge with things or people around you that could be in alignment with your dream. 4. Remember some things are not to be told and timing is everything. You can’t tell everything to everyone. You also can’t share some details because they are not meant to be told, but fulfilled. Some things God shares with you are concerning the future so you can manage the present. Allow the picture to play out and if you feel released to share your vision or dream pray for the proper timing. 5. Write it down. Everything in your vision or dream has symbolic significance. Write as much of the dream down and get with your spiritual leader to assist you with interpretation. 6. Never be afraid. Some dreams will give you understanding of the “dark world.” Remember the Devil is defeated and if he attempts to manifest himself to you in your dreams it is only because you are equipped to do battle against him. Never be intimidated. Speak faith and the blood of Jesus against him. Let me know how I can pray for you and keep the faith. Join our September Focus Group. www.jonathanrichardson.org/propheticfocus
