OCTOBER DREAM [TERROR ATTACKS WORLDWIDE HAVE U HAD SUCH A DREAM OR VISION?]

As for the naysayers on this thread: I, too, am wary of folks who put words in God's mouth.

However, I believe anyone who *removes* words from God's mouth, i.e., mocks words God has spoken or declares a word from the Lord to be not of the Lord, is also in great danger.

And to the extent that He is speaking today, those of us who are seeking Him in such ways will adjust our prayers and our actions according to the what we have received from His guidance sent in realtime. For me, a big part of this is to prayerfully discern if the item is truly of Him and from Him or not. And then, PRAY for His intervention if He is warning of a coming attack or natural disaster or other mishap.

As a normal routine, I pray for my immediate family, for leaders in government, for my pastor and his wife, for my extended family, for church members, co-workers, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, and prayer requests given me; and I also lift up prayerfully ongoing situations that would benefit from His blessing, His provision, His healing, His guidance, His deliverance, His miracles, His sustenance, His presence, His comfort, His saving grace, His Words, His LOVE.

The God I know is present in my life. Yes, He guides me through His Holy Word, which I love and prove I love by obeying, sharing, studying, and memorizing. He also speaks to my heart - I strive discern such heartfelt impressions so as to recognize His voice and discern what's from the enemy or just my own mind and what is truly from HIM. It is wise to remember His sheep know His voice, as has been pointed out repeatedly here.

He speaks to me through wise counselors. And through other people too. I often pray and ask Him, Father God, is this of You? Please show me.

I rarely remember my dreams, and except for one dream that's been repeated to me at least a dozen times over the last fifteen years (which has to do with Des Moines, Iowa -- hundreds of miles from anywhere I have ever lived); and then one time twenty-some years ago I dreamt of a house of red brick and then after went by my best friends' house to see a rental house (which we ended up living in) which was built with red brick; except for those two, I can't say I am aware of having received any dreams that impressed me as being from the Lord.

That doesn't stop me from listening to any Christians that feel a dream of theirs came from the Lord and was meant to benefit others. I listen, I discern, I cry out in my heart to the Lord to bear witness if it's from Him. I adjust my intercessory prayer accordingly.

For those of us with the Faith to do so, we open ourselves to God's proceeding presence in our lives. He is with us, He fills us with strength, with life, with love, with joy, with hope, and we allow ourselves to yield to His guidance in our daily routines. When we pray, our prayers have the faith to see Him move in realtime in answer to such prayers. It is a joyous thing. He preserves us, quickens us, protects us, sets us on high, delivers us from the snare of the fowler, speaks through a still small voice, tells us when to move to the left and when to the right, with long life He satisfies us and shows us His salvation.

Mockers, you aren't mocking Quix or any others who have the faith and discernment to know the difference between imaginery words and TRUE dreams or propehcies sent by the Lord Himself. You are mocking God.
