Last night I had a surreal dream: I was in open parkland type territory where thousands of heathen were milling around, some were in grounds, others walking alone. I was thirsty (in hindsight I was very thirsty yesterday as Brother Levi walks like a steam train and we must have walked for miles) and those around me were drinking beer in plastic cups. It looked very appetizing as it looked like keg beer (soft and smooth), I desired to have some and someone helped me to a cup and I took it and drank. Nearby I noticed crowds of Biker types in black sitting on the park grass drinking, reveling and cursing. That angered me so I stood up on a long thin wooden seating bench with the cup of beer in the hand and tried to preached but had lost my voice. Then in the dream I had a revelation, that I had lost my voice because of the beer I had drunk, as it didn’t please the Lord. So standing on the bench I bowed my head in prayer and asked the Lord for forgiveness. Then I started to preach and my voice came back. The crowd was angered and some got up on the bench to try and throw me off. I was afraid but determined to try and stay on the bench. Some fell from the bench before they reached me. The ones that reached me tried to make me lose balance to topple me off the bench, but the Lord gave me wisdom to fight them and I knew exactly where to touch them to throw them off balance. One by one they approached me trying to throw me off balance, but my hands and fingers out maneuvered them. Psalm 144:1 “Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:” Then the mob went wild and I fled for my life. Then 3 young men caught me and began to beat me up so I woke up. Thank God it was a dream. Today I got the interpretation: If one is to preach the gospel, one must ensure that there are no fleshy obstacles as these hinder ones ability to preach. I haven’t had a beer in years, but the Lord tries the reins and knows the things we desire deep down inside. We can fool ourselves, but not Him.

Hi Bounbough: In reading your dream there is a caution for you and others who are sharing a lot of dreams lately... Appreciate your sincerity of your sharing but it is possibly something for you alone. Remember the loins of our mind need to be girded up with the Word of God, because the devil can have a hay day while we are sleeping. I do know from experience and I hope you will understand this; a neighbor of ours is heavy into witchcraft, (this has nothing to do with you, so please don't take it personal). They just put a lot of importance in dreams. It is dangerous to put too much integrity in them, unless the Word of God is being spoken to you through the Holy Ghost in your dream. Did you receive Psalms 144:1 after you woke up or in your dream? Not saying at all that this wasn't a valid one, but preach the gospel a more profitable declaring to the lost and other Christians. Some things shared are not profitable. Look at what Paul says, 2 Timothy 2:14-15 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. v.15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Runner4jesus...you should do a word study on dreams and see how the Lord uses them.
Also you should read 2 Tim 2 in context. It's not talking about dreams.

Hi Sean: Just a little note. My reference to 2 Timothy 2:14 was not right. My apologies, I wouldn't want to use anything out of context.
What I shared was mainly an exhortation about sharing about dreams whether it is profitable or not. We shouldn't put so much stock in our dreams unless the Word of God is directly related to it. That's why I asked him if Psalms 144:1 was given him in the dream or after.
We should rightly divide the word of truth in v.15 . We are exhorted to rightly divide the word of truth,
meaning right cutting: properly handling.

Amen Brother! I had been lead astray by them in the past. Indeed, one is prone to attacks by the Devil when asleep (ungodly dreams etc..). Why is it that we can have rule over our spirit while we are awake, but when we are asleep there is less control? Proverbs 16:32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.

Addit: Psalm 144:1 came afterward.
