The Tribune

By Kevin L A Ewing

HAVE you had dreams where you were being injected? What about dreams where you were drinking dirty water? Have you had dreams where you were bitten by a snake, dog or cat?

What about eating in a dream? Have you had dreams with strange looking dolls with pins inserted in them? What about dream where you’re vomiting blood, food or other liquids?

Have you had dreams where you were covered with a skin disease such as boils, but in reality you were healthy? What about having dreams where you are at a cemetery or someone is burying something in a cemetery that belong to you? Have you had dreams where someone is bathing you in the sea, river or some body of water? What about dreams where incisions were made in your flesh? Have you experienced dreams where you were missing a limb in your dream? Have you had dreams where a dead relative or friend died from a particular sickness in reality, but in the dream they’re attempting to interact or communicate with you? Have you had dreams where you’re eating rotten fruit?

Well, such dreams and many more like them are clearly revealing a spirit of sickness and infirmity that is attempting to invade the dreamer’s life spiritually that, if not challenged with prayer and in some cases fasting, will manifest unexplained physical illnesses. Such dreams prey on the ignorance of the dreamer by convincing the dreamer that their dream was just that, a silly dream. Neglecting the spiritual fact that even though their physical body is at rest, their spirit is wide awake eating, drinking and participating with spiritual things in their dream that’s working against them.

I met a man once that told me he was bitten by a large black snake in a dream and ever since the dream he was in and out of the hospital for unexplained illnesses. What this person did not realise was that the snake in the dream, which was spiritual, bit into his spirit, injecting him with a spiritual venom/sickness. The man in his spiritual ignorance never cancelled or rebuked the dream to prevent the physical manifestation of what was done spiritually, simply because he was ignorant of such spiritual knowledge. This is just another case where the law of ignorance will run its course, thus, “My are destroyed because they lack knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

As a result, he spent a great numbers of years wasting his money on doctor visits, false prophets telling him lies, overseas doctor referrals, unnecessary medication that were increasing his medical problems, and not to mention the mental frustration due to no conclusive answers or solutions being offered to his medical situation.

There is an interesting scripture in Luke 16:19-31. This particular text is about a certain rich man and another man identified as a beggar known as Lazarus; scripture records that both men died and from verses 22-31 we learn that these men are being described as still existing after death, even though verse 22 clearly states that they both died and were buried. Surprisingly, they still possess their five senses in their state of death, particularly the rich man who was able to taste, see, feel and hear.

Now as a reminder, these guys are physically dead but clearly their spirits are still continuing to live, but only this time in a spiritual state in the spirit world. It is this same spirit that controls our human bodies. So whatever happens to our spirit while we are alive, it automatically will mirror our physical body. This is why we have to take our dreams seriously, especially when we experience in our dreams the examples I have provided above.

Let’s take it a little deeper. The Apostle Paul spoke of a celestial body and a terrestrial body; simply put, a celestial body according to 1 Corinthians 15:40. However, he also mentions that a human body is sown or buried as a natural body but it will be raised a spiritual body. Then he elaborates that there is a natural body and there is a spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:44). All I am saying my friend, is that those who are spiritual understand that they could change the course of a person’s destiny by challenging that person from the spirit realm. Whatever has been done to them from the spirit realm will again be displayed in their everyday life if there is no resistance against what has been planted spiritually.

Balak, King of the Moabites, had a clear understanding of this spiritual truth. He realised that neither he or his army were a match for the nation of Israel. In fact, he was told how the children of Israel had defeated Sihon, King of the Amorites, and their armies along with Og, King of Bashan and his armies. So Balak knew that in order to have a chance at defeating the children of Israel he would have to launch his initial attack from a spiritual perspective by placing a curse on the nation of Israel, and by so doing they would be disabled physically. Witchcraft places the human spirit in bondage spiritually, thus setting limitations on the victim. The victim of course believes that he is in control when the truth is he is being influenced and controlled by evil spirits assigned to him that have programmed him for defeat, failure, death, sickness etc.

Scripture records that King Balak sent for the prophet Balaam to pronounce a curse on Israel :“Come now, curse this people for me, since they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them from the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed” (Numbers 22:6). Scripture goes on to say, “So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand. And they came to Balaam and gave him Balak’s message” (Numbers 22:7). Long story short, King Balak summons Balaam the prophet to curse Israel (disable Israel spiritually) and King Balak’s reward to the prophet Balaam would be a payment given to him for his divinations.

This passage of scripture serves as proof that when folks cannot defeat you physically, they would consult with witchcraft workers to subdue you spiritually in an attempt to overcome you physically. Nevertheless, God would not have us ignorant of the devices of the enemy, thus our dreams which are spiritual monitors, are constantly revealing to us what is pending in the realm of the spirit against us. Giving us the opportunity to cancel and rebuke it in the realm of the spirit so that there would be no manifestation in the natural.

As a reminder, God promised that he will allow nothing on Earth unless he reveals the secrets or mystery to his servants the prophets first (Amos 3:7). Now I know you’re probably saying, “Hey, but I am no prophet.” Well, let’s see what scripture has to say about that: “And the LORD said to them, ‘Now listen to what I say: If there are prophets among you, I, the LORD, would reveal myself in visions. I would speak to them in dreams’” (Numbers 12:6). So, are you a dreamer, do you have visions? Well according to scripture you are indeed a prophet. Therefore you should be in a state of expectancy as to what God will reveal to you via your dreams concerning you and even others.

Please, I cannot emphasise enough that your dreams are rea. The reality of your dreams is being revealed from a spiritual perspective, to tell you what is pending in the realm of the spirit either for you or against you. What you decide to do after the dream will determine your destiny.

“My people are gone into bondage simply because they lack knowledge” (Isaiah 5:13).
