Hey, Well it looks like I am the black sheep in this thread but I don't mean to be. Most of the times our dreams are nothing more than our personal fears and hopes showing themselves while we are asleep. You have likely heard last days alarmist speak of trains hauling Christians off to detention camps and that manifested itself in your dreams. We must be very careful that our dreams match up with the word as scripture should back up what you have dreamed to point others too so they themselves can see the truth in the word that it is so. oc I agree Openly. Our dreams most of the time no matter who bazaar are not from God. They are from something we heard or have seen in our life that day or so. Real dreams from God are few and far in between. Don't get me wrong though I am not saying that anybodies dream nis not from God because that is between God and the dreamer. Sister, that is true, but I also believe that God does talk to us, show us things to come in our dreams. I've always felt that. Not saying that all dreams are this way, but I do believe that some are.

This is something that I was just talking to my son's about. They are into this due to the movies that are coming out of Hollywood. I just purchased the movie "Knowing" for them and we've watched it twice. It's dealing with End Times and things that happen. We've also been looking at the trailers for "2012" the movie just done that deals with the Mayan prophecies. My two sons are very into know about End Times and what will happen. I told them Hollywood's spin is NOT God's. That yes, they do need to be ready, and yes, it could happen like that, but will it remains to be seen by those who are left behind. My 15 yr old laments that he's too young to die and that he wants to get married and have kids one day and that he's read the other Mayan prophecies and they scare him. I asked him what makes him believe the Mayans over God, to which, he replied nothing, but that it just scares him. I told him to read Revelations then tell me about being scared. My daughter and I both have had dreams about End Times. For my dream, it was a great earthquake that shook our home, we ran out and thank God, although all around us was all torn up, where we were was ok. I watched as jet fighter planes were flying over head and people were screaming everywhere. Then it looked like I was at home with my family and we were hiding. Trying to stay out of view of the military. There was fire all around and we seemed to be trying to make sure we got away before they found us. I don't know what it all means, but I pray to God that I stay strong in his word and my faith in Him to not be shaken as I don't want to be here during any tribulation periods and I pray that none of my family is either. Movies certainly highten the thoughts of Jesus' return, but as I keep reminding my kids, no one knows when God will end all of this BUT God. The Mayans and Hollywood and others can guess, speculate or whatever, but all we're supposed to do is be ready as God will come like a thief in the night...

I think we as Christians, tend to get a little jumpy when things go awry in the world. I have to keep reminding myself that GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL!!! Regardless of how things look (and I feel they are gonna get worse) I look at it as the devil is messing with things, wants me to get worried, wants me to feel abandoned. But I don't and won't give the devil a foothold. I maintain what I know to be sound, TRUE doctorine, that GOD is still in control and that it's ALL gonna be alright! We can't fix anything, we can't change anything BUT we can PRAY and we can lean on each other, giving each other support and sound scriptures letting each other know that GOD is for us, who can be against us and that we have to help each other make this race to the finish line! So seeker, Nebula, remember "Were in this race together" and don't forget the GOD we love and serve IS with us. It's gonna be ok. So let's pray and patiently wait for our FATHER GOD to answer us and to heal our situation!

Poke, that's an excellent point!!! I was just noting the scripture 2 TIMOTHY 4:3-4. We look at this world we're passing through and we can see, it doesn't belong to God, this world belongs to satan. People don't look at things the same way they used to when my parents were kids. It's like a pancake effect is happening and it's all around the world! I call it a pancake effect because "WHAT USED TO BE VIEWED AS WRONG IS NOW RIGHT AND WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOW WRONG" And a lot of people are accepting this nonsense! All decency has been tossed out the window and we're heading towards anacrhy. We wonder what's going on in this world? We question the acts of this world and we get blasted if we don't agree! (case in point, Ms California) This is a wicked and perverse generation we are with and all we can do is pray for Jesus to come and take us out of here! I have to mention I listened to a youth talk about heaven and hell, he was about 14/15 age range and his interpertation of Hell is that it will be an all the time party I couldn't believe my ears when I listened and I wondered how could this child think this way I guess it's all what the parents are allowing their kids to view. I've told my kids repeatedly, Hell is REAL and there won't be any parties and fun, rock n roll, food and friends, it's a place of pain, torment, and everlasting burning fire! It's time for people to WAKE UP and tell the TRUTH!! 2Timothy 4:3-4 tells us exactly what is happening in this world today.

You have an excellent point Sam. Hi, I'm new to this forum. But your right, many Christians stop fearing God and to me, that is not a good thing because when that happens, some people tend to get reckless and that is bad. I remember my Pastor used to tell us, "Give no place to the devil". I truly learned what that ment as I got older. When we stop fearing God, we are giving place to the devil and he comes right on in wrecking havoc in our lives. I still fear God and will continue to because God can destroy both my body and my soul and I don't and won't risk that happening.
