It has happened twice in a week time. I don't understand where they come from. I don't watch movies with people doing anything wrong. I even stopping, watching horror movies years ago. I hadn't had sinful thoughts about anyone when I'm awake. I spend some time with the Lord every day, and I believe I have a good relationship with the Lord, and yet I started coming awake after realizing I dreamt of something sinful. What's wrong with me?

We here on earth are sinners, but having faith in Christ brings us forgiveness of sins, and a new life in Him in Heaven. Praise God! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said that you "spend some time with the Lord every day." Paul told us to pray contantly (1 Thessalonians 5:17). I wouldn't worry about the dreams. Just keep bad thoughts out of your head during waking hours. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, we mustn’t place too much importance on dreams (could be too many tacos you ate for supper the night before - - I jest, but trying to make my point). Keep on with the freedom you have of walking with Jesus side by side. He paid dearly for it. Hey, you’re doing fine - - no worries. - selah 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carry on following Christ. Praise him for the ways in which he has changed you, like helping you adjust the kinds of media you consume, and how he has helped you not think these wrong thoughts willingly during the day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to serve Him. He has done so much for me. I was so disturbed last night that I found some bible messages online that gave me so much comfort that I finally went back to sleep with no bad dreams. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're outside of our control. The fact that you care about the state of your relationship with God at all tells me you're in a good spot. There's always room for improvement but so long as we care enough to self examine and get advice when there's doubt God will pull through for us and forgive us for any mistakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our Father knows all about each one of His kids, and He loves us tenderly. Psalm 139:1-4 139 O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. ~ selah Edited August 17, 2021 by Selah7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
