Hello everyone hope you have had a fantastic weekend. I pray everyone is healthy and everyone you love is healthy. This week I'd like to discuss how some believer in their opinion that God speaks to us in dreams. It's not just a time where some feel they are open for demonic attack. Call on God next time you feel this way and see what happens. The bible has examples of God speaking to people in dreams and telling us he will speak through dreams. The following a a few examples of that.
And they replied "we both had dreams but no one can tell us what they mean.”
“Interpreting dreams is God’s business,” Joseph replied.
“Go ahead and tell me your dreams"
Genesis 40:8 (NLT) Jacob Dreamed
11 Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, 'Jacob.' And I said, 'Here I am.'24 But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, "Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad."
Gen 31:11,24 Genesis 2812 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
"And the Lord said to them, “Now listen to what I say:
“If there were prophets among you,I, the Lord, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams."
Numbers 12:6 (NLT)
"He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds."
Job 33:15 (NLT)
"For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness.
Rather, fear God." "And the LORD answered me, and said,
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables,
that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (KJV)
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" Acts 2:17
The facts that you have heard from God does not mean everyone will welcome your dream. People will react differently but most likely not positive at times. Your dream will be opposed just like Joseph’s and Jesus’ and Nehemiah’s or Paul’s. However this should not deter you. If you know your dream is from God, hold on to it, pray it back to God when the storms and wind come storming in. The brothers of Joseph conspired against him. They threw him into the pit sold him into slavery. He ended up in Potiphar’s house as a servant. It was as if his dream bought and brought him trouble.
What I do is keep a pen and paper next to my bed to take notes of any odd dreams so I can remember them because many people, and I am among them tend to forget what they have dreamed the longer they are awake. What took place seems to fade rather quickly upon waking up from these. I'm not sure why that happens. Could be a number of reasons for this but if you write down some notes upon waking that will really up possibly in understanding what exactly took place in the dreams you are having.

Observations on the State of the Paranormal Community - Part 1
By Reverend Mark Hunnemann
With the New Year I feel compelled to ask: what is the state of the paranormal community? Before I respond, let me say that I consider myself part of the paranormal community (though I prefer to call it supernatural), and I care for these folks. I am not an outsider throwing rocks at these “nuts”, rather I am inside trying, in my weak and stumbling way, to change people’s minds through reasoned persuasion. Because of past bad experience with the church, often it is hard to gain an audience, and this grieves me. So, thank you dear friends for your continued interest and support.
I whittled it down to two issues—what is happening to the investigatorsand what is happening regarding theinvestigations. In this section we will deal with the former. When I say investigators, I mean that in the broad sense of anyone who is actively andregularly making contact with the spirit realm by attempting communication with the dead—there are untold millions of Americans who are engaging in this activity privately or informally, primarily due to what they have seen on TV. Perhaps we could distinguish between formal investigators (group structure and a stated purpose to assist others who have problems), and informal investigators (one or two individuals who do it for themselves or just for the thrill, and no mission statement). In 2009, when I began this quest, paranormalsocieities.com listed 950 formal investigative groups; today the count has risen to 4,054 groups—by any standard of measurement, that is astonishing growth! However, the amazing growth only serves to underscore the importance of doing an analysis of how things are going.
Let me plunge right in and say that I do not know of anyone who has regularly attempted to contact the dead, who at some point, has not dealt with demonic activity of their own.Recently I was on a Christian paranormal radio podcast in which the host, who has many more years’ experience than I do, concurred. (I was touched by the dignity and respect that was shown to me by this Christian woman) We agreed that this is an extremely noteworthy phenomenon which is being systematically swept under the rug. I am sure that someone reading this will disagree with our observation, and that is okay. However, the undeniable fact is that a very high percentage of investigators (both kinds) are/have developed demonic issues. We may disagree as to what it is, but I think most would agree that experiencing paranormal activity appears to come with the territory. But why does it? And who/what is it that is following you home? Why is there so much obsessiveness that transcends healthy passion? As a man determined to see ghosts through God’s eyes, the bible must be our guide, along with science and critical thinking. All truth is God’s truth, but only the bible is inerrant and must be our only guide to faith (beliefs) and practice. Sola scriptura! (2 Tim. 3:16-17) You owe it to God, yourself, your team mates/friends, and your loved ones to grapple with this and not sweep it under the rug.
Biblically, the picture is sobering for all who are attempting communication with the dead, because God explicitly commands us not to engage in this (Deut.18:9-14; Lev.19:31; 20:1-6). So, first and foremost, every time an investigator investigates, they are disobeying God’s objective law. There are gradations of sin, and speaking to the dead is one reason God ordered the complete slaughter of an entire Canaanite people and culture (men, women, and children). In v.12 we are told explicitly that the occultic sins mentioned in these verses are the reason for the utter destruction of the inhabitants of the land. They were not innocent; the people who sought mediums and spoke to the dead were doing something the Lord considered “abominable.” All of these activities, including child sacrifice, are designed to seek supernatural wisdom apart from God. It is instructive that this text is juxtaposed with the section on God’s prophets (including the prophecy of a prophetic line culminating in Jesus)—the true and only source of wisdom we are to seek regarding God and the supernatural. In the Leviticus text, the heinousness of spirit communication is accented by stating that it was: whoring in God’s eyes; it was a capital crime; and if the Jews failed to kill the ghost whisperer, then God Himself would kill them…this is the only place in the Old Testament, that I am aware of, where the Lord threatens such personal involvement in the punishment for a particular sin. All sin is cosmic treason against our holy God, but some sins are particularly hateful to Him, and spiritism is one such sin. Therefore, the punishment and consequences of violating this command are especially severe. However, we must never lose sight of what we call the ellipsis of a negative prohibition (flip side); it is because God LOVES us that He wants us to delight in the words of His prophets/apostles and not be burned by touching the hot occultic stove.
Spirit solicitation is spiritual warfare! As we have noted before, the solicitation of EVP’s is attended by the same dangers as conducting an Ouija session. By entering into the spirit realm, we give the demonic a legal right to attach and attack, because we are trespassing in the realm that the Lord has given to them as their temporary home. Also, for the first time in recorded history, lay people in large numbers are plunging headlong into a world that universally has been approached in the past by a community’s representative—a priest or shaman—due to a natural fear of the spirits. Hence, the canopy of God’s common grace of protection is removed. In a word, the paranormal community is rapidly becoming demonized—investigators are coming under ever deepening influence of unclean spirits. Tragically, this is the dirty, dark secret of the paranormal community; for a variety of reasons we are not being honest with ourselves and each other. I suggest that this is not wise, and is only causing more people to be affected. Are we reluctant because it may signify a systemic problem in our ranks? When we unwittingly dance with the demonic, then we open ourselves to their accelerated activity. The condition of investigators is perilous in the extreme, and is getting worse each passing day…Lord have mercy on us. Next time we will look at the state of investigations.
ACTION STEPS
We must determine to speak out regarding this issue…it is a matter of integrity and compassion.
Some of you are under demonic influence, and you may, or may not, sense it…yet. Seek godly, competent help in dealing with it.

Bash the Muslims--Go to Jail; Bash the Christians--Get Rewarded
By Kirby Robinson
You can walk any spiritual path you desire, as you have the free will to do so. You can serve the spiritual master you choose, have faith in any eternal reward you wish, and read whatever holy book you want--because that’s your freedom.
What you don't have a right to do is lie to others about what the spiritual path has to say about something. Nor do you have the right to go on the warpath when someone questions your path and the creator of your spiritual path. You have no right to twist the Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ, into something or someone He is not. When that takes place, the creator of that path isn't getting a message from the GOD above all other GODS. That message is straight from the father of lies, the serpent of old.
Most of you have heard and seen the news out of the Middle East concerning the uprising and riots conducted by people in various Arabic nations over an anti-Islamic movie that was on the Internet. Buildings were burned, compounds stormed, and four Americans were killed over a movie that was critical of the Muslim faith.
Yes, you have the right to freedom of religion and people have the right to challenge that religion – it's called freedom of speech. This freedom is practiced everyday when it comes to the question faith. We constantly see our Bible spit on, its messages misinterpreted, whether Old Testament or New. The Bible is made fun of, and we can't engage in public displays of prayers in schools or on public property. Our Savior is ripped from the cross on a daily basis, yet do you see Christians gathering in a mob storming buildings, burning property and killing people?
Is there now an unspoken rule to not defame the Muslim faith? Yet it's fair game to defame the Christian faith? Yes, there is. The liberal media, the new age movement, the anti-Christian groups and the forces of the antichrist try to keep it from public view or discussion.
I'm so tired of the distortions by the Muslim faith when they try to placate us by saying: "WE RESPECT JESUS HE IS A PROPHET!" And everyone is to feel good. Because they are partially correct, Jesus is a Prophet—but He's so much more—he's a Savior. However, the Muslims don't tell you their other beliefs:
1 Jesus is not the Son of GOD.
2 They don't think He was without sin.
3 His name won't get you into heaven.
4 He didn't die on the cross, descend into hell, nor did he rise at the end of the three days, ascend into heaven and sit by GOD in heaven.
5 Their Prophet Mohammad never has done the following: raised the dead, healed a sick person, cast out demons, made food to feed the hungry, walk on water, or do any of the things that our Lord and Savior has done and still today does in the spirit.
6 Ask them how to get into heaven? Is it by Grace or is it by The Law? And ask them is it the same heaven as the Christians envision?
7 They never speak that why does the Muslim faith exist? It's because their GOD [which is a lesser GOD] claims the Jews got it all messed up, so GOD started the Christian faith. And Christians also messed it up, so now the third time with the Muslims He got it right.
8 They say Christ will return to earth--not to offer peace--but to kill Jews and bring the world to the Muslim faith.
You never hear or read about those things, do you?
The public is told that the Muslim faith is one of peace, not war. The Muslim sects in this nation only want peace and don't stand behind what is going on in the Middle East. Yet we never see the Muslim leaders gather their followers and go to the nations of Afghanistan, Pakistan or even Iran and tell them to stop the war, do we?
If you’re a non-Muslim try to visit Mecca and see if you can get in. And, in many Middle Eastern nations they have religious police who hunt down anyone with non-Muslim feelings.
Check out this article:
If any representative from Christian church even talks about such laws, people would protest, churches would be burned, and leadership jailed.
For years when I was asked if the Muslim faith was the one world religion that we must endure in the End Times I used to say no. Yet the more I see and learn, it just might be. You have to remember it's an antichrist religion. It removes Christ from the cross, promotes a false prophet, a false god, and a false heaven in its place. Does that sound familiar?
What next? There will be laws proposed to outlaw criticisms of a religion as CNN called for last week. In some way, the Christian faith will be blamed. It's already happened when a talking head from MSNBC informed the viewers that the man behind the controversial anti-Muslim movie was Christian. This newscaster said it with a smile. The forces of darkness gather but no worry our GOD [the dude who is Most High] has our back and I keep reminding myself on the last page the devils lose and GOD wins.
[The above is not meant to imply that all Muslims hearts are filled with bloodlust and hate for the Jews, Christians and Hindus. The sect of Sufism within the faith teaches peace].
