You know you are starting to or are slipping into sin so rather than pray for something you don't need pray for the determination to take the way out from temptation that God always provides and walk away from what ever is tempting you, switch off the computer, etc etc and do something else. If you know the problem and you know the answer what do you need the ability to interpret for? Isn't it really just an excuse not to be obedient.

Im Saying interpretation for my drsam or the dreams I have. They have nothing 2 do with what I'm doing. Sometimes it's of family members or the future. But I don't always understand it.

God is not a God of chaos, but of order. If he has something for you to say to your family he will tell you clearly. You are worried for them and as a result are dreaming about them. Use your restless nights, lack of sleep due to your concern for them as an introduction to start talking and listening to what they believe. Even if God gives you a clear message you are going to have to do this, talk to them about your sleep. So get into the habit of asking why do you believe that and what evidence do you have for that belief. Be prepared to answer the same questions without using, you just believe or just have faith. The command is always be prepared to give a REASON for your faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream interpretation is New Age, and arises out of Sigmund Freud's book on the subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for this to hmm lol work repent get right with God. Just ask Him to put you back on the path.. KNOW He hears you and its done. There is no time in heaven. What I am saying is.. don't put Him in time, where after 10min or hour or day then say.. well guess He didn't want to show me. Thats doubt. He said.. ask and the Father WILL. Do you see? Ask Him.. but use HIS word.. remind Him like "Father you said..." and say what is written and ask. He WILL answer. God will give us what we ask for - according to His will. His will is found in the clear and plain writing of the Bible, especially the letters of Paul. If what we are praying and believing for is not according to God's clearly stated will, it won't happen. This is why God will not listen to any prayers asking for dream interpretation, because God does not support New Age spirituality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get why so many people are against this. Its not new age to get clairty from God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why so many people are against this. Its not new age to get clarity from God. The dreams they interpreted were important components of the plan of God; for Joseph himself, and in Daniel's case, for God's purpose for Israel in captivity. The dreams were clear and God gave Joseph and Daniel the interpretation supernaturally. Also, the dreams were not for their personal guidance, but were information for others. They were also Old Testament. In the New Covenant, personal guidance is conducted by the indwelling Holy Spirit, and if a person is walking in the Spirit, he has no need of dreams for personal guidance. But then, the Holy Spirit is not limited in the way He works; dreams and visions may happen, such has Paul's vision of the Macedonian man pleading for help. But these dreams and visions are clear messages and not vague symbolic images that need the extensive catalogue of symbols for interpretation that are found on some New Age sites.
