An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers
Dream outside the fence
I dreamed a couple of months ago and have puzzled over this ever since. I welcome input.
I was in a family? group. i slid between two fences that met and I began running across a field. It was glorius,free running fun. I ran clear across the field, slanting from SE to NW, almost straight line, bounding and never turing. I came to the edge of the field, there was like a tunnel, (hte tunnel didn't go clear through, it was a dead end) a big tunnel with huge doors. I was curious, so I opened the door wider and went in. I started walking down the tunnel and I could see in the dim light a couple of men and a couple of young boys, like 12 years old and I said or wondered, what are you doing with those boys and I sensed total evil, they were all involved in and danger to me for seeing and knowing. I turned and started trying to run, my feet felt weighed with lead. i gained the outside of the entrance and still trying to run and them getting closer every second. I am in the edge of the field and finally get a scream out, hellllllllllllp, long drawn out, I am totally sickened with the evil, what they were doing, and terrified. I'm thinking, hoping that the man clear across the field that was with me will hear and come rescue me. It's like I stumble, fall, and as I am falling, I wake up. It's like when I first squeezed through the fence, I was disapproved of in going through the fence. End of dream.

Who disapproved of you going through the fence and when did you feel that feeling? What did you feel when you woke up?

the "family" group I was with as I went through the fences in the beginning of the dream and then when I called to the man for help. When i woke up i felt totally sickened and have every time thoughts of this dream come to me. And like a sick scared feeling comes with it too.

He has not given us a spirit of fear, so he will never attach fear to a dream, even a warning dream--EVER. Just like revelation from the Lord has a "power pack" attached to it, the enemy attaches things like fear to dreams and other things (TV, movies, music, etc.--any of our "gates"). The enemy comes at us via the soul. So, this sounds like a fear dream from the enemy. You can rebuke it--declare the word: He has not given you a spirit of fear, but a spirit of love, power and a sound mind in the name of Jesus! We bind the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus and command it to leave now in Jesus' name! You are free in the name of Jesus. Just keep on standing on it! Hugs...

Hi Barbara,
I‘d like to suggest two reasons for having this type of dream:
Fear can show up due to an open door in our lives either through disobedience or sin. For example recently I had a dream that revealed that I had an idol in my life. The idol was over the counter medication that I had come to depend on. Although I knew this dream was from the Lord I chose to ignore it for a few days as a result I had a nightmare that night.
I dreamt that I was staying with a woman at her house for the night (no idea who the woman was in real life). We we’re trying to lock the back door…it took quite a bit of effort and finally got it locked. We then proceeded to walk through the living room to lock the front door, however as we approached it a noise from the outside got our attention. She went outside to check it out, in the mean time a man passed her under ground and came right to me and began choking the life out of me…it happened so fast that I didn’t have the time to scream!
Of course I knew immediately what that this dream was from the enemy; however my disobedience served as the opened door to my soul. I immediately repented and the dreams have stopped and my peace with God has returned!
The other times where we feel fear or other emotions is when we have an unhealed heart. Our dreams may reveal this and we need to submit them to the Lord so that we can come into healing. As an example I’d like to share one more re-occurring dream with you that I had for a period of 20years!
I was running from a man that was trying to get me (felt like he was chasing me to kill me)I was constantly running and hiding! Always felt fear upon waking! However at the time I didn’t understand dreams so I ignore them until I received a deliverance from the Lord.
Growing up in an alcoholic family produced tremendous fear as my father was very abusive to my mother…and apparently when the beatings would start I would run and hide (the Holy Spirit revealed this to me years later). Until one night I was at a revival meeting and the Lord ministered to me very powerfully! I left that meeting completely healed from the spirit of fear! Everything in my life changed from that moment on! I even had a visitation of angels that night as did three of my young sons.
However, the most amazing thing was I started to have the same dream of a man chasing me except this time I turned around and faced him and said, “In the name of Jesus I rebuke you!” And from the night on I have never had the dream again!
In conclusion, James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”. Firstly, you need to submit your dream to the Lord and ask Him to show you what your dream means and then depending on the answer (nightmare or unhealed area of your heart) then you proceed to work through the process!
Once you have the answer I’d be more than happy to help you work through your dream!
Blessings,

Thank you for trying, too. For sharing.
But, it doesn't fit, either.

Sis, are you called to evangelism? It sounds like you could be about to embark upon a death to self experience. (Your flesh) This usually happens when God is about to promote us; or we miss the mark. . We have to be able to hear a clear direction and assignment from God. If our flesh is in the way, we could miss what the LORD is saying to our heart. Think about what you said, a dead end... meaning death to self flesh. Hearing from God, we sometimes fast to bring on a death to self experience in our flesh. Jesus opens doors for us in His timing. Opening a door with our own flesh can birth works of flesh. An Ishmael... And the doors Jesus brings you through could expose evil. As I stated in another dream, Jesus is our gate way, our fence. In your dream, you have 2 fences. Is there a possibility that you are trying to serve in 2 different faiths, gods or masters? Just a thought.

no, doesn't fit yet, but again thanks for your input, your time
the tunnel is an inroad, and there isn't any light in it, so it's not a born in condition but an inroad, not good; going through the fence is getting outside of the perimeters set by others and frowned upon, which is
my experience in life,
No, I don't perceive of me in evangelism, I am a widow with three children at home and we manage our small farm, I have many responsibilities with my first priority, my children. i feel like God has something He would like for me to do, I'm just not clear as to what it is.

Hi Barbara,
Originally I had no intention of trying to interpret this dream, but as I was reading an article, your dream came to mind. Are you by any chance trying to break away from the traditional church structure and get into a higher, more spiritual relationship with God? I'll just ask that before I even try to explain the article I was reading.

Yes! I have for a very, very long time and yet there isn't anywhere in this valley that has anything beyond what has gone on since we have lived here. In 1971, when I began to go to the Assembly of God church, in Ronan, the only thing that has changed is about a total loss of emphazing the importance of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the loss of real music in the church, replaced by "worship teams" playing/singing those endless, negative, minor key, nauseating to me "songs". To me they are for appealing to the emeotional, "flesh" side of people and oh how people love them and feel so "good" with their "worship" service that lasts forever it seems to me. I can't stand it, so we go late enough to miss as much as we can of it.
The words preached, are so much like what was preached when I first began going to the Assembly, not any regonition of the Kingdom within, but just what we ought to be and what we ought to be doing, all manuel labor in my opinion, not a spiritual relationship, one to one with the Lord. There isn't any class or group for the young people, my children are a teenager and two young adults of twenty-one yrs. A year ago, i aked the pastor about if there could be a class about the Holy Spirit and then seeking for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. His response was that yes, he and his wife were considering something like that, but they wanted to get their other programs going and after that, maybe, I asked again in January 09, in March, and in November and the repsonse is still the same, although they have their weekly community dinner program going that two or three area churches are helping with, the other programs no longer are going on. Oh, there is a thursday night where the pastor and whoever ofthe men and young men/boys, there's like two, my son and another, can come to a neighbors and work ont h e pastors race car and have fellowship that way. My son was not notified that this was going to happen. My teenager said to me, "that makes a statment in itself what is important and it's not a class on the Holy Spirit" i thought she hit the nail right on the head! and I told the pastor what she said, tried to call him, left a message and that he could call me back if he felt to, he never responded. this is typical of church acitivites with nothing for the inner man. It's no different in the other churches, been there, tried them, they don't even give lip service to the Holy Spirit.
tare jere So, yes, I am looking, feel no good about what is going on, am not a part of the group, and there's no one interested that I've found, beyond what they have going on and i know if i say much of anything, I will be viewed as even more of a non fit then i am. I've experienced that before, now I'm mostly an observer, but it just drives me up the wall with what is preached, I feel like i've downloaded junk by the time I get out of there. i don't know what to do aor where else to go and at this point if I am supposed to go anywhere at all. If I could find a group, small would be just fine, of people who are earnestly seeking God, and on the learning edge, willing to grow spiritually, I'd get involved. If you know of any in this area, please tell me!

p.s. do you feel like you lit a fuse? ha ha

Amazing! I can relate to your predicament so much! To the point where I almost don't even want to go to church. But that's not good either. I have been very interested in finding a home church, but there are none that I know of in my area. It sounds like something you would might be interested in too. These home churches that I've been interested in have no type of structure such as a certain amount of time for singing, then announcements, then paying tithes...and so on. They focus on having the Holy Spirit lead the group and they are always fairly small groups of people. Anyway, let me get together this information that I was reading and we'll see if it relates to your dream at all.

To correct what I wrote above "home church", I meant "house church"
Here's what I came up with for your dream....
Passing the Fence:
The family/group represents the traditional/religious church that doesn't really approve of you going any further or else just isn't real interested. They probably think they are doing enough "going through the motions". The Fence represents the boundaries that the church has set. They shouldn't put God in a box or limit what He wants to do through them, because you see how glorious and free you are when you go past their boundaries and move towards a limitless God. As you are running free, notice the angle that you are running- a steady ascension towards God.
Entering the Tunnel:
In the tunnel is where I think you find an evil spirit or two that may be operating in or influencing the "fleshy works" and "religiosity" going on in the church. These spirits are preying on those that are young in Christ, not the mature, and they only have their own agenda in mind; anything to keep God's people "busy" and doing "fleshy works" things that make them feel good, not listening to what the Holy Spirit is saying and directing. This keeps the church body from being the powerhouse that it's meant to be. That is why they are underground and keeping them secluded from the things of the Spirit.
You went down in the tunnel "uncovered" so to speak. You needed the help of the man. As I mentioned before in another post, the female in scripture relates to our soul and the male represents our spirit.
Perhaps you need to fight spiritually some how?
