Good day to You Sir. Pls, I have the following questions:

1) Recently, I learnt that every dream has a meaning and that there is always a force/power behind every dream, be it the power of God or that of a demon. If so, how do we know which one backs up or accompanies the dreams we have?

2) God speaks to us thru our own dreams, even unbelievers dream too. This was seen when King Pharaoh dreamt of the years of famine in Egypt; he doesn't even know d God of Israel. Now, as a Christian, can one rely just on dreams as a means of knowing God's mind on each of one's life decisions? Is it ok to rely on just dream as a means of hearing frm God?

3) We've been taught to listen to the Holy ghost's still small voice, is it compulsory that all christians experience the still voice talking to them? Does it confirm one's authenticity as a child of God?

4) Some pple visit prophets before they knw God's mind abt a decision they want to make. Others don't. They just pray, make their decision and act in faith, using/quoting God's word. Pls, which is right?

5) And what's the exact or right way to receive from God? Do we have anything to do with d way He chooses to speak?

Thank You Sir.

Answer ; yes ! That's true it's either from God or the kingdom of darkness.

But identifying or knowing a dream from the kingdom of darkness or God isn't always easy. Infact it's the most complex thing you could ever come across. As some dreams are warning from God but scary at the same time while some dreams are scary because they are from the kingdom of darkness.

If you read the book of Daniel(from beginning to the end), you will understand that no dream can be interpreted by man but God alone.

In that case I will say, God led you...all here for a reason, if not for that purpose? Then it is indeed. So, you..all should be thankful to God not pastor for these privileges.

2) God speaks to us thru our own dreams, even unbelievers dream too. This was seen when King Pharaoh dreamt of the years of famine in Egypt; he doesn't even know d God of Israel. Now, as a Christian, can one rely just on dreams as a means of knowing God's mind on each of one's life decisions? Is it ok to rely on just dream as a means of hearing frm God?

Answer ;

The answer is neither Yes nor NO!
But I will stick to 'NO! Because despite the fact that God spoke/ministered to Pharaoh he was eventually destroyed by same God. For truly God loves us all but a soul that refuses to repent would perish or destroy by same God.

And again ;


The answer is NO! And indeed, it's true God ministers/reveals dreams to sinners as well because he's God of all,for all and he longs for sinners to repent,draw close to him and seek him.. For he loves all,thats why he's called " merciful God " friend of sinner". But mind you, a dream can speak God's mind and tell about your life as a whole but it's not in any form " a qualification for knowing God but God loves to man kind, just like a dream isn't sustainable and can't serve as all in all of knowing God or his purpose for our lives or tomorrow ,and that is why we must seek him and know him more everyday -- we and he can never have enough of each other ; can you now see where the word " LOVE " between God and man was derived from? ; Ofcourse, " relationship with God or between man/you and God is what makes you a true child of God"

The bible,jesus said ;

◄ John 10:27 ►
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Meaning, if indeed your heart is right with God,have relationship with the lord, and you live according to his word, fear him and love him wholeheartedly and pray fervently? You will hear,recognize his and obey when he speaks.

4) Some pple visit prophets before they knw God's mind abt a decision they want to make. Others don't. They just pray, make their decision and act in faith, using/quoting God's word. Pls, which is right?

There is nothing wrong with both but the latter is the best and exactly what God longs for. That is, to know him,recognise his voice when he speaks and develop a personal relationship, bond and understanding of him, through which he speaks and we understand and listen and obey with faith. But mind you, for some it's naturally while some it takes time and spiritual growth, prayer and holiness..

5) And what's the exact or right way to receive from God? Do we have anything to do with d way He chooses to speak?

No! He decides, but often it varies or depends on our spiritual understanding or growth. But to answer your question directly, No! God decides having realized our spiritual growth, understanding at the time..

Bless you
