Dreams

How do you know when a dream is a message from God, or just bad pizza? If you survey the Bible, people had dreams all the time about important stuff in their lives. Joseph had prophetic dreams when he was a young guy, King Nebuchadnezzar had weird dreams about the future of his kingdom, and Daniel had dreams about the end of the world. Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, had dreams just about every night it seems. The first one was to tell him it was okay to marry his (miraculously) pregnant fiancee, the next one was to tell him to get out of town before King Herod killed baby Jesus, and then he had another one after that to let him know that it was okay to go back home. Then there were the wise men, and all their dreams. Lots of dreams.

I don't dream much myself. And I've been debating over the last few weeks about even bringing this subject up, because it's a loaded one. But this morning, when someone told me about a dream that another person had about Annie, I thought, okay, I'll run this up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes.

So, if you ever have a dream about Annie that you think is appropriate to share, please do--and we'll try to discern together if it is a message from God to encourage and build our faith, or just...bad pizza. And in the meantime, I'll ask the person who dreamed about Annie if I can share it with you.

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
