An International Fellowship of Spirit-Empowered Believers
Healing Duane's Back
Usually I can for the most part figure out what my dreams mean, but this one I don't get. I simply dreamt that there was a man with blond hair who needed healing in his back. He was there with his girlfriend who also had blond hair and I prayed for his healing and he was healed. Somehow I knew his name was Duane even though I didn't know him or his girlfriend. Upon waking up or else right before I woke up I felt bad that I had prayed for healing for him and he received it before I had gotten my dad healed (who in real life has had back pain for a very long time). I have been seeking the Lord for my dad's healing for quite some time, and He has told me that I need to cast out his infirmity after fasting. I have fasted, but maybe not enough as I have yet to feel the faith arise in me for this healing to take place. Maybe I am looking at it wrong. Anyone have any feedback for me? I would really appreciate it.

Hi Wendy,
In Dorothy Astoria's The Name Book the entry for Duane is:
Language/Cultural Origin - Irish
Inherent Meaning - Dark
Spiritual Connotation - Transformed Heart
Scripture - Job 22:28
You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you, so light will shine on your ways.
Blessings,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
Does the book say how the author came up with the scriptures to go with the names? I've looked up the name Duane on line and found pretty much the same meaning, (Small & Dark). The only thing that comes to mind when I see this meaning (dark) is my dad's constant pain being demonic. In fact that was the first thing he questioned when I mentioned to him a verse the Lord gave me in my sleep one night after praying for him. The verse was Matthew 17:21 "But that kind comes out only by prayer and fasting." It's interesting how the name Duane means Dark and the scripture from the name book speaks of light shining on your ways.
Thank you for this.

The author only states that the scripture references are "intended to shed light upon the inherent and implied meanings of the name . Attention has been centered especially upon the promises, encouragements, and exhortations the heavenly Father has given."
It is sometimes helpful if it rings with your spirit.
My thought was to begin to declare his healing.

Declaring his healing is a great thought, I will do that. Thank you.

HI Wendy,
Just a couple of questions for you...why do both people have blond hair? Is this the "light" you mentioned from Job 22:28? Who was the girl friend? What does she represent? Could she be a key to your healing prayer?

I wish I could answer these questions, because they seem like they would be keys to helping understand the meaning. I have no idea why they both had blond hair, but it was something that stood out to me. The girlfriend wasn't doing anything in the dream, but she was there and she stood out to me too. I'll have to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal these specific things. Thanks, this is helping me dig deeper.

The other thing that stands out to me is where you said "you felt bad that you prayed and he recieved his healing before your dad did", can you identify an area of your life that you can relate to this "emotion?"

I think where this relates is that I strongly feel God's plan for me is not being fulfiled because I don't spend enough time with Him. I don't know why I don't. I love being in His presence. I feel like I could be so much more if I would. If I had the boldness that comes from knowing Him well, I could be used greatly. In fact, months after the "Fellowship" dream/vision that I had, my cousin had a dream about me having a miscarrage. She said her and other family members and myself cried to know that happened to me and then she prayed very passionately in her dream over me. I took that to be related to the "Fellowship" dream. In my dream, I knew Fellowship was just born, now at this point in my life, when I'm not spending quality time with my Lord, she dreams I miscarry. For some reason I struggle with putting God first. I work full time and am tired when I get home to my husband and three children. I've attempted to make it a point to read my bible when I get home this past week, and so far every time I've practically dozed off right in the middle of reading. Then when I wake up, I have a list of household chores to do, and don't get back to my bible. I'll keep trying though.

Wendy,
I totally get where your coming from as I have four sons that are 18mos apart (their older teens and young adults now) however life is still crazy busy as they are all at home....I have struggled in this area over the years as well, until I started asking him to draw me to that place of prayer and devotion as we can't even come into His presence unless the Holy Spirit draw us...and He has! Over the years I 've had so many different times of the day to slip away with God. At times it was early morning or late night....other times my bath time became my sanctuary....still other times my car to and from work...the key is to recognize when the spirit is drawing and then seize the moment. I believe motherhood is sacred and God understands! He understands our busy lives and knows how to make a way of escape! to be with Him!
Praise God you are having dreams as God is getting your attention....and only He can make a way of escape for you!
So if we put this in perspective of your dream....the blonde hair represents the "light of God's word" the girlfriend - the Holy Spirit who comes along side to assist us...and it was through your obedience to the word to pray for healing?! And the guilt and condemnation has no part here! We obey on the authority of His word and God does the healing...does any of this fit?
Blessings!

It is such a blessing to have this website available that allows me to have contact with my bothers and sisters in Christ who are such an encouragement. I am very thankful. Thank you Lady-Mary.
