“Oh, The Horror!”

Categories: RELATIONSHIPS, SELF
I recently had a demonic nightmare.  It started off by me and my father and an unknown family member moving equipment.  We went back to get the rest and stopped in a store.  No one was around, so we started to believe it was abandoned, so we took food until we saw the owner.  Then he acted like we were just about to steal it, but we paid for it.  Then it jumps to me being held by my mother.  She starts telling me about some movie like it was real.  I said, “I’m good; I saw the movie.”  Then she asked something else, and then she asked, “What about Jesus?”  I said, “No.  No one is ever good enough for Jesus.”  Then she turned into a white guy with a black cloak, and it was like he was sucking my face in with a straw.  Everything went black as I tried to stay awake; then I woke up again in real life.  WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!?

Sincerely,
Whoa, Buddy!

Dear Whoa Buddy,

It means you had a bad dream.  It might also mean you ate too much before bed, but it doesn’t mean anything spiritual.  The days of dreams and visions have passed.  In the past, God spoke to various people through dreams, visions, and prophecy, but today He speaks to us through His Son, Jesus Christ (Heb 1:1-2).  Now that we have the complete and perfect Bible – there is no need for God to give people individual dreams or visions (1 Cor 13:9-10).  It is through the Word of God that we learn how to live faithfully (Rom 10:17).  So don’t worry about your dream; your face is safe from the straw-sucking beast.
