So any thoughts??? about this dream

I want to ask a question if its alright? I had a dream recently that has left me very unsettled. I don't pay any attention to my dreams usually and for the most part have forgotten them not long after waking up. This dream however is different. I just can't seem to let go of it and I do not have any understanding in it even though I have been praying about it. What do you think is this something I should just ignore? I want to be really careful not to get caught up in this but if Father is trying to show me something then I want to walk that out.

Thanks
Ebeth

Edit after thought???Is it alright to post the dream here? If its not alright no worries

I had a wierd dream too.

Feel free to share what details you can...but be prepared to hear contradicting "interpretations"

I have a couple dreams come to pass...my wife has shared with me a lot that is later confirmed true.
But we have both had dreams that were just attitudes, and motivations being tested without any specific relevance.

Perhaps this will give you encouragement to tell your dream.

A prophetic dream that come true: One night I woke up my husband with my sobs. He asked what was wrong and I told him I just dreamed he had drowned and I was lifting him up in a huge sea shell.

Later that day, we went to my mothers place, she was not home. My husbands back was hurt very bad, so I suggested he soak in a hot tub. (A large plastic tub/shower combo that was 'shell' colored) I went in after a short while to check on him. He said he was overheated and he stood to get out and collapsed in the water. If I had not been there [b]he would have drowned.[/b]

Here is the dream that I had.
In my dream I am standing with a young boy, he is about 9 years old. He has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. I am not sure what he has to do with the dream because he really does not say or do anything in the dream just that he is there. I seem to be the only one aware of him. So anyway this boy and I are standing in a large room, with what looks kind of like a medical station. There are beds and as I look around I notice that people are being strapped down to the beds and an IV is being put in their arms. There are several men and women who are all dressed in white who are performing this procedure on the people. For some reason in my mind when I first saw this I thought that they were performing abortions because most of the people that I notice were women. As I stood there a older white hair lady approached me and told me to follow her that it was time. I stood there with the young boy and did not follow. From behind me two men appeared they seemed nice and kind in their appearance but I became very afraid of them as soon as I saw them. The old lady pointed at me and said, “You must come now, its your turn.” I shook my head and told her that I was not pregnant and that even if I was I would never consent to an abortion. She smiled and laughed, she told me, “we are not performing abortions here.” She pointed toward a bed that had a young man strapped down, “See look there, that is a young man having the procedure done, men can not have babies. This is not about abortions. Now you must come along.” At this point I felt very conflicted but I followed, she seemed to be very patient and kind so I went along but the closer I got to the table the more terrified I felt. I stopped and looked around me, for the first time I noticed that the IV were not injecting anything into the people, but rather that the IV was actually connected to some kind of machine that was sucking something out of the people. I told the lady that I was not going to do this that it was wrong, some how I knew they were trying to take something from me.Something very important. I suddenly had the very strong understanding that in some strange way they were actually sucking life from these people. “I asked the lady if this is not an abortion that is happening then what are you doing to these people? What are you taking from them?”
She turned and glared at me, she was angry, she snapped at the two men behind me, “Shes one of them, one of them who has eyes. This is going to be difficult case.” Without warning I was grabbed me and they began dragging me over to the bed. I began to struggle and the old lady tried to calm me down, at first she assured me that everything would be fine, not to worry. I told her I didn't care what she said that I wanted to leave. She then got very angry and tried to threaten me, she told me that I had to submit or else. She said you will either relinquish this life to us here and now, or you will die. Your only choice is to submit, it is whats best for everyone.” I stood there frozen in fear not knowing what to do. I looked around me for someone to help me but all the other people seemed fine and content to having the procedure done on them. Some were laughing, and talking as if nothing were happening to them. There were some that seemed confused but they each had someone there talking to them telling them that it was all for the best and that after it was all over life would be easier and not to worry. I looked back toward the entrance where I came in and there stood the little boy, he looked so sad. I am not sure what happened after that because it seemed so much more vague, then I woke up. When I first woke up the first thought that came to my mind is I am not ready???

Thanks

Does this question still haunt you?

Hi Ginnyrose

I am not sure how to answer this fully. I have been praying about it though. If I am completely honest with myself then I will have to say that yes this is a big part of what is making me feel so unsettled.

Ebeth

Hey
I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to read what I shared and for responding. I know this is probably just me being very silly about a dream anyway. I guess I just wish I had some uderstanding whythis troubling me so

Thanks

Your dream reminds me of what I see happening in the churches - a Spiritual abortion of sorts.

This has been something that has been weighing on my mind. People up in arms about physical abortions that are unknowingly subjecting themselves to, and performing, Spiritual abortion. Willingly letting the Life be sucked right out of them, and in turn doing the same to others.

She turned and glared at me, she was angry, she snapped at the two men behind me, “Shes one of them, one of them who has eyes. This is going to be difficult case.”

[This in no way is an interpretation but an observation and humbly submit it.] The above quote is the part that grabbed my attention. While the others went willingly to the table and received the IV, they obviously didn't have eyes to see what was going on and gave the old woman no trouble.

These type of people will never give the devil any trouble! But also the exact opposite is true; those who have eyes to see and ears to hear will give him trouble and NEVER accept his will but for us but always stand with the Lord,

Like that old woman said, "She said you will either relinquish this life to us here and now, or you will die." And like Shadrach and the others said, "[i]If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.[/i] (Daniel 3.17-18).

The old woman also said, "This is going to be a difficult case." We know to deceive one who has eyes to see is difficult, not impossible because the very elect will be deceived if possible. (Matt 24.24)

We must stay humble and not be prideful that we have eyes to see because Paul says in 1 Cor 13, [i]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. [/i]

Ebeth, I would [i]rejoice in the Lord[/i] that He gave you this "tidbit" about yourself and "[i]be not weary in well doing[/i] (2 Thess 3.13).

[i]I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; [b]and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.[/i][/b] Revelation 3:18

We all need to pray that we will [b]receive[/b] the love of the truth especially in these last days.

[i]And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; [b]because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.[/b] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.[/i] 2 Thess 2.10-12

God bless,

Hi wind_blows,

At the risk of leading this thread off on a rabbit trail, let me offer an interpretation: The nine-year-old child represents your spiritual life--Christ in you, the hope of glory. You are not a spiritual giant quite yet, but nor are you a babe in Christ. You have eyes to see. The spiritual equivalent of abortion is something that prevents the New Birth from happening; something that terminates the spiritual "pre-natal" process that leads us to repentance and salvation. I have been saying for years that the modern evangelistic method is a form of spiritual abortion. A sinner who has been awakened and convicted of sin goes to church or an evangelistic rally where he/she will almost invariably encounter someone who reads them the Four Spiritual Laws, or leads them down Romans Road, has them recite the sinner's prayer, pronounces them "saved" and sends them on their way. Then they go home trying to feel saved. They soon realize that nothing has happened; they are no different. So they either continue in their sins confident that they are going to heaven because they prayed the sinner's prayer, or they walk away from the whole thing saying, "I tried Christianity, it didn't work for me."

The Billy Graham Crusade did a follow-up study of a thousand converts who had come forward and gotten saved at his evangelistic rallies, and found that after one year only one percent of them were "active in the local church and showing signs of regeneration." So Dr. Graham developed a follow-up program in which new converts were planted in a local church, sent to discipleship classes and assigned a "sponsor." Once the discipleship program was in place they did another survey and found exactly the same success rate: one percent.

The patients with I.V.'s believed they were receiving life-giving fluid, but in fact were having life taken from them.

All this may have no application to you, but that's the way I would interpret it if it were my dream.

Sister, the Lord will always reveal His intentions as you are ready to receive them. Continue seeking Him and, the hardest thing for me, wait on the Lord.

God's blessings.

Hi Wind Blows,

I've had two very similar dreams. I don't like your dream at all, it's so similar to mine...it's scary. In one, I was being forced to have an abortion. I remember my response being the same as yours. I wouldn't have it no matter what. I knew it would cost me my life if I didn't cooperate. My dream wasn't as detailed as yours, but I remember being in a facility and being forced totaly against my will to submit to this "abortion." I remember fighting with everthing within me, but they overcame me and took my into a room with a table to perform the abortion. I woke up right after that.

In the second dream, I was in a similar facility and these people had totally overtaken me and I knew they were going to kill me. I had all but given up, when I just started saying "They overcame by the Blood of the Lamb and the Word of their testimony." I said it over and over again. When I said it, it was like my eyes were opened and I relized that these "people" had no powere over me. The people had acutally became afraid by the truth of what I was saying and they seemed to lose their strength as I had gained strength from the words coming from my mouth.

I think your dream represents the state of much of the church. The enemy is after the Life of Christ that is within us. Many are totally unaware that this life is being taken from them and they are half dead already!! Some have even submitted to this "abortion" because they thought it would be easier than the fight in the days ahead. This Life within us may cost us everything, even our physical life on earth, but the enemy knows this Life has the power to defeat his army and his lies!! I'm trembling as I write these words. I also know that I'm not ready, but what other choice do we have.

edit. I believe the boy represents the next generation of believers coming behind us.

Hey
Thanks for your replies I am grateful. Not sure what Father has for me in all of this but I am going to be praying about what you all shared here.

In Him
Ebeth

I know that this was just a dream and no one can give me a definitive answer but right now I feel so confused, is it possible that I am allowing myself to be deceived? I say I love the Lord and I want to walk with Him, but then there are times that all my words sound so empty to me. I still struggle at times with some of the same sin that I struggled with when I first came to know the Lord. There is so much of me that is not of Him and I know I fall so very short. Why if I love Him, truly love Him then why do I do these things? Why do I allow myself to get distracted and caught up in the things of this world instead of being about His kingdom?

I know that no one can answer this for me but if you feel led please pray for me.

Hello wind_blows,

When you feel this way, read Romans 7

14: For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15: For that which I do I allow not: [b]for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I[/b]. . . . 18: For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: [b]for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19: For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do[/b]. . . . 25: I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. [b]So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.[/b]

Solomon said Eccl:1:9: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and [b]there is no new thing under the sun[/b]. It seems to say, to me, that what ever we may be feeling or going through is the same thing someone else has gone through before. Of course, for us, it feels as if it is new, because we have never been there before.

Do not lose faith. Not every day is filled with sunshine but be patient, it will come. The sun is always there, you just can not always see it. It is the same with God. He has promised to never leave us. As long as you are trying as much as you can to do His will, even if you stumble, he sees you trying.

Sleep well,

Sister, confusion is from our enemy. Wait on the Lord. He has never nor will ever forsake His own.

Wind Blows, when I was born again, God washed me clean from my filthiness and my idols. He gave me a new heart, and put His Spirit within me that I might walk in His ways and observe His laws. Am I still tempted to sin? Of course! That's the sinful flesh Paul describes. Do I have to sin? No! Because of my new heart, new spirit, and His Spirit within me, I am not a slave to the flesh any longer.

Do I live a perfect life? I wish! I fight my flesh daily. But if I sin, I ask forgiveness, and strive harder to live free of sin and please my Lord.

Sister, we're all praying for you. Our Lord will show you His Way. Just stand fast and wait on Him.

I wanted to come and say thank you again for all of you who shared with me. After a restless night last night and a good deal of my time spent in prayer Father is showing me some things about my life that do not reflect Him or His kingdom and I need to take a hard look at myself. I see now that there are areas of my heart that I have not surrendered completely to Him. In many ways I have allowed myself to wander off of the narrow path and chases after things that do not draw me closer to Him. I know that there are still many weeds in my heart that need to be plucked away, uprooted and burned in the fire so that He alone occupies my heart. I must be willing to submit unto Him in all things no matter. The words, “If you love me you will obey me.” mean so much more to me then before. I know that its time for me to stop trying to have it both ways, one foot in the world, one foot following Jesus. Jesus will never settle for a half hearted follower and I don't want to be one. My time, my possessions, my life, they are all His. Father has also shown me that if real persecution were to come my way I would not be ready, but I am hopeful and I trust that one day very soon I will be. He is doing a work in my life and He will see it through I have no doubts about that.

Thanks again for everyone's prayers and care. I am going to take a break for awhile from the Internet and spend more time in my Bible and just seek to be more about what Father has for me daily.

In Him
Elizabeth
