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,

I believe this dream could be the Lord showing you what is hindering your dad's healing. Is there something in his past, possibly a prior relationship with someone, some soul ties he needs to break? It may be someone with Irish heritage, or a connection to witchcraft, etc.

I think what you felt when you woke up was the enemy trying to steal the solution the Lord gave you in the dream. It has also been my experience that prayer and fasting is not what does the "delivering," it is quieting ourselves before the Lord so that we can hear what he is saying to us about the situation (which it sounds like you have been doing) and then act on it.

If all this does not bear witness in your spirit after praying on it, feel free to toss it.

Blessings...and looking forward to hearing a good report!

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for your response. Originally upon waking up I wondered if I would be praying for someone named Duane in the future since I don't know anyone by that name currently. But I'm still not really sure. Prior to this dream, (quite a few months before) I had been praying for my dad when that night, not in a dream, but in my sleep I heard the Lord say "That kind comes out by prayer and fasting", almost audibly. It was very clear to me that He was talking about my dad's back. I found out later that this verse did not mean what I originally thought it meant. When Jesus said "that kind" He wasn't speaking of demons, He was speaking of unbelief. Right before that verse the deciples are asking Jesus why they couldn't cast out the demon from the boy with epilepsy. Jesus told them because of their unbelief or wrong thinking, and that kind comes out with prayer and fasting. Which is where I struggle currently. I know that God is so much bigger than the physical problems my dad is having and I know that healing is His will, but for some reason that unbeleif is there in me and is probably deeply ingrained. I heard a speaker talk about prayer and fasting being a lifestyle for him. He doesn't do any lengthy fasts, but regularly fasts like once a week (one meal or one day) to keep focus and crush unbelief in his life. I'm thinking that is what I need to try since long fasts don't seem to be the right choice for me as I am currently underweight. So, whether the physical problems my dad has are demonic or not, the Lord told me to fast and pray. I don't know if the dream relates to my dad other than the fact that I woke up feeling like I should have seen him healed of this by now.

Only the enemy condemns...he comes to steal, kill and destroy. Father God, I pray that Wendy will hear your voice clearly and recognize your answer when it comes. I ask it in Jesus' precious Name. Amen.

Love you!
