Some folks think every dream they have is a message from God. Yes, God often speaks to us through dreams. But I don’t think EVERY dream is a God-message; at least not for me. If so, then I am surely NOT interpreting any spiritual understanding of my dream from last night. So, let me tell you what I dreamt.
As a forward, I want to say my left heel, which I profess nothing bad over, IS HEALED in THE NAME OF JESUS AND by HIS STRIPE. GLORY TO GOD! That being said, I had a dream last night that I was scrubbing the bottom of my left foot when it split open and out came a half-filled, somewhat scrunched up tube of PEPSODENT toothpaste! Seriously, that’s what I dreamt. With that, my heel pain was INSTANTLY GONE. Then I woke up. Felt my heel. NO, there was no tube of toothpaste under my skin….
I spent the next few minutes trying to figure out what my dream meant. I make my own toothpaste, but I buy it for guests and I had recently purchased a tube of that brand of toothpaste.
My half-asleep brain succumbed to weird thoughts. ‘Hmmm maybe I need to rub toothpaste on my heel,…maybe a tooth is growing on my foot bone, and I need to go to a surgeon and have it removed.. or to a dentist…maybe it means I don’t brush my teeth enough or I brush too much, and that’s making my heel sore, maybe I need to stop using my homemade toothpaste and use Pepsodent…but wait a minute; THAT has nothing to do with a sore heel!….’ .irrational, crazy thoughts from.an irrational crazy dream….
(satan get off my heel; I squash you like a tube of toothpaste UNDER MY FOOT. )
MY somewhat rational now awake brain suddenly and THANKFULLY took over and I jumped out of bed exclaiming “WHAT A WEIRD DREAM!”
I started to think how, spiritually, when we are “half-asleep– that is, allowing things of this world and/or flesh to pull us away from the secure, profound, powerful, miraculous TRUTHS of GOD and HIS WORD, we allow, through our ‘sleepiness’ God and man’s enemy, satan. to fill our mind and heart with enemy lies, rather than God’s Truths.
“You will NEVER be able to….”
PHIL 4:13
“You will ALWAYS be encumbered by…..”
John 8:32
“That oppression is your life-companion”…
Isaiah 61:3
“You will not be healed/delivered”…
1 Peter 2:24
And the BIGGEST LIE OF ALL
“YOUR prayers are never answered”…
Mark 11:20-26
James 5:13-18
As for me, I’m renewing my commitment to STAY AWAKE through focusing on “The three W’s” that Jesus showed me Years ago: Worship, Word, Walk.
Worship. PRAISE HIM continually! Have a grateful and thankful heart! When we forget to THANK GOD daily, a complaining spirit often takes precedence, and we wander. Sometimes for (40) years!
Word. Read and/or listen to His Word, The HOLY BIBLE daily. When we do this, we meditate on HIS WORD, and enemy’s lies are easily.discerned.
Walk not after this carnal world, but focus on God’s Kingdom, led of Holy Spirit, following Jesus. GOD and the things of Heaven should be profoundly MORE REAL and EVERLASTING to His Children than anything of this earth, which is fast fading away.
And if you have a weird dream about a tube of toothpaste popping out of your foot, well, go back to sleep and maybe God will give you a dream that MAKES SENSE!
Amen
