Summary: Dealing with dangerous dreams

POWER AGAINST DREAM CRIMINALS.

Dr. D. K. Olukoya

Dreaming is a natural way in which the spirit world breaks out into our lives. Dreams can be described as the dark speech of the spirit. They can be keys to unlocking the door to the inner world.

Dreams have been referred to as the speech of the spirit. They are means of revelation. Unfortunately, modern men and women have chosen to either ignore dreams altogether or to fear that an interest in them is lack of civilization. The fact is that if we would listen, dreams can help us find increased spiritual victory and help.

Dreams - Sources of Revelation

Once we have the revelation that dreams can be a key to unlocking the door to the spirit world, we can take some vital steps. First, we can specifically pray inviting God to inform us through our dreams. Secondly, we should declare war when dreams are used against us and thirdly, we should learn how to interpret dreams. The best way to discover the meaning of dreams is to ask the Holy Spirit.

It is worthy of note that God promised that He would speak to His people by dreams in the last days. Acts 2:17 says: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”

Therefore, our dreams need to be studied and analyzed with a view to decoding their messages.

There is no other passage to turn to for a proper understanding of victory over satanic dreams than Matthew 13:25: “But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed.. .”

Unfortunately, the problems in the lives of most people start with instances of satanic dreams.

DANGER! - People face two types of danger. One, a lot of people are so deep in spiritual sleep that they never remember what they dreamt about when they wake up. This is the twin danger; when somebody dreams and forgets everything, he stands the danger of missing an important message or ministration from God if He was the One speaking through the dream.

Two, if the enemy is carrying out an evil activity and you forget the dream, you also face the danger of remaining under bondage. If you are fond of forgetting dreams on a regular basis, you have a very serious spiritual problem.

SOURCES OF DREAMS - Every normal person is supposed to sleep. By the time a person is sixty years old he would have spent twenty years sleeping. And since one-third of our lifetime is spent sleeping, it means that a large percentage of our life is spent dreaming as dreaming occurs during sleep. Dreams can come from God. It can come from man. It can also come from the enemy.

When the dream is from God, the dreamer is left normal, calm, quiet, reasonable, with open and clear mind after that dream. Also if it is the Almighty talking to you in the dream, He will give you: assurance, encouragement, comfort, directions, instruction, guidance, exhortation, correction, revelation of the future, revelation of His plans and purposes to you.

If it is from your enemy or satan, the dream will be mysterious, absurd, sometimes empty, sometimes foolish, and sometimes leaving the person confused and dazed. The dream would be so unreasonable, most time it would not make any sense; sometimes it is so mysterious that you wonder what kind of dream it is.

God in His own wisdom has designed dream for man. Everything which God has designed for man is for a good purpose. But the problem is that the enemy goes into every good thing and corrupts it. The devil turns anything that should be a friend of man into an enemy.

EVIL DREAMS

∙ drinking dirty water - it means the enemy wants to poison your spiritual life and reduce your fire.

∙ drowning and crying for help - the enemy is planning tribulations for you

∙ something keeps obstructing you as you seek to cross from one place to another - the enemy is trying to hinder your progress.

∙ always eating meat - you have become a witch participating in witchcraft feeding

∙ always eating, and your mouth is even forced open to take food in the dream - it means the enemy wants to weaken your spiritual power and plant sickness into your life.

∙ climbing a mountain with difficulty - it means the enemy is making you toil before you can survive.

∙ being in traffic hold-up - the enemy is introducing sluggishness into your life, to hinder you from reaching your goals in life.

∙ nursing a strange baby, or milking a strange baby - the enemy is drinking the milk of your life.
