  • Dreams from God are clear and coherent.

The first Scripture Hernandez uses to back up this point is found in Genesis 40:8 which reads, “And they said to him, ‘We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter for it.’ Then Joseph said to them, ‘Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.'”

“In the case of Pharaoh and Joseph, Pharaoh had a hard time discerning the meaning of the dream, but Joseph didn’t. Why? Because Joseph had the Spirit of God within him,” Hernandez says.

“For the world, understanding God-given dreams or understanding supernatural dreams is a very difficult task,” he continues. “Dreams from God are always clear for the Spirit-filled. Now, this doesn’t mean that you’re always going to have the full picture, but this does mean that the part of the picture that you have will be clear.”

 

  • The dream will be based on biblical principles.

For the Christian, our life is to reflect Scripture. The Bible is our instruction manual for life, and it is through our reading of the Bible and our time in prayer of communing with the Holy Spirit that we get to know God better each day. Therefore, dreams from God are only going to prompt us forward in our relationship with Him.

“God’s not going to tell you in a dream to divorce your wife without biblical grounds,” Hernandez says. “God’s not going to tell you in a dream to go and get drunk. God is not going to tell you in a dream to divide from the church if it’s a perfectly healthy church, and if you’re just offended because they’re not doing everything the way you want them to do it. God’s not going to tell you to go and gossip about someone. He’s not going to contradict His Word.”

“Nothing God will ever speak, whether through a dream or a vision or an angel or a miracle, nothing that God will ever speak will contradict His Word,” he continues. “So, if the conclusion from the message of the dream contradicts anything in Scripture, it cannot possibly be from God.”

  • It will grow your faith.

Dreams from God will help to enhance your faith in Christ, not diminish it.

“This is separate than emotions that you might feel,” Hernandez says. “Because it’s possible that you might feel a little bit of angst because of what God reveals in the dream. Like for example, if God reveals in the dream that you’re moving to a different state and you know it’s God confirming something…there might be a little bit of anxiety. There might be a little bit of apprehension.

“But, what will ultimately happen,” Hernandez continues, “the dream will always, always, always produce faith. So, even if what you are given, even if what is revealed is negative and causes negative emotions, the message of the dream will ultimately be unto redemption. The message of the dream will ultimately be unto the glory of God.”

If you believe the Holy Spirit is speaking to you through your dreams, take a moment to write them down, pray over them and allow God to reveal the meaning of them to you in His timing however He desires to do so.
