GOD SPEAKS THROUGH DREAMS & VISIONS


Whilst not all dreams are of God, the Bible is full of examples of people whom God spoke to by dreams and visions. These dreams and visions did not occur solely in the Old Testament times but in the New Testament times as well. God didn't speak only to the holy and saintly through dreams and visions. He even spoke to unbelievers such as King Nebuchadnezzar in a dream.


Are Dreams & Visions For Our Time & Age?
On the day of Pentecost, the apostle Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, declared that dreams and visions would be an increasing feature in our time:

"In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."  Acts 2:17

Application
God may choose to speak to us through dreams and visions as we live in the last days. Will we be open to His message?
