I do believe that God gives His people dreams and premonitions about things, and I have been the recipient of some of those dreams/premonitions. Have you ever had a premonition/dream that warned you of something that would happen to you or someone else? Did you pray for God to stop XYZ from happening or did you actively try to prevent it?
I've posted extensively on this subject of being intuitive..it's in my family and my mother has an uncanny way of "knowing" that I had as myself as child and like a child took it for granted without question ...but as an
adult when they stated coming with frequency and coincidence
for years ...I thought I was going crazy. I went to every reverend I could get to hear my stories and finally ..though I have never stopped being in awe of them ..have begun the slow process of divine acceptance of them
and rather than ask God to stop..I give thanks...and then ask the Lord to show me....
Two examples of a premonition/dream
1... I woke up with a distinct feeling something was very very wrong..something significant was going to happen THAT DAY.. and then right away a warm feeling rushed through that said ..
and it's going to
be absolutely all right,too
All through the day I kept expecting to get fired or hit by a car and then in the middle of the day.....I get a voice mail message from someone I had not heard from in months and this is how the message began
K...are you all right? ..I woke up this moring with you on my mind and I am worried about you..call me and let me know you are okay
I REALLY began fretting ..Lord what is it ..Lord what is it
Two days after that ..my mother calls me and says my oldest brother had a kidney transplant and he didn't want anyone to know until he came out of it...and I began crying and my mother said....he's fine ..he's just fine
I asked what time did the operation start? ...and my mother said happily ..
he's already had it.. it was...on a another day..
two days ago......
2 I am self employed and biggest concern with that.. is making my expensive rent ...my vision is to not only pay my rent several monthis in advance but to have a second res in the country
I had a dream that my landlord wanted my apartment and trying to go after it legally,but the results were dubious for him and I knew I had to step up my efforts to take care of my home...
I was okay as I'm current in my rent today and already have August rent and most of September's...As an artist I have to allocate funds well in advance..because of the nature of the flux in income.With that dream ... I was on alert and vigilant
That VERY morning. First call, from an agency( I once I had to
go an private agency that helps with working peole who occasionally have difficulty meeting their rent)
"We're just calling to see how you're doing in your apartment and with your rent"
I told of my struggle but affirmed that my rent WAS being met...
At this point ..I just shrugged after getting that call right after my dream
(God willing... my vision will come true
HTH
