    Hello Towerserource111

    My opinion about your dream and what it means.

    It looks like it is a message from God to you (it also applies to all of us).

    The dragon is obviously the devil.

    The sword in your hands is the Word of God (see God's armour in Ephesians 6:13-17).

    We fight devil not by using human arms, but with God's arms given to us. The fight is strong. Satan doesn't go away/fall down with the first blow. Jesus faced satan in the dessert in the begining of His ministry. That can be seen as a fight of Jesus against the devil. Jesus always faced his attacks only by using the Word of God, nothing else. Satan didn't quit after Jesus answered him the first time, he kept attacking Him even by using himself the Word of God and misinterpreting it. But Jesus was always fighting back using the Word of God. Finally satan left, he lost that fight. But he will come back sometime later on. And again, and again ..., such fights will keep going on until we finally reach the end of our christian course. Notice that satan came to Jesus when He felt hungry. He always comes to us when he sees that we are somehow volnurable, in some sort of need. He always tries to discourage us and make us go back to our old sinful lifes. So keep your faith (which is your shield against his attacks) and fight using the written Word of God. This means that in every challenge/trial/difficulty/temptation in your life do what God advices us to do in His Word, this is the only way to withstand satan's attacks and win.

    What you should do then? Keep reading the Word of God (the Bible) to know how to act in every situation in your life and be always in prayers so that God gives you strength to withstand and fight back. ( Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak"). Also in every matter in your life, do what David was always doing. He was asking God to guide him and tell him what to do. Nothing has changed since that time.

    I had a dream that i was fighting a dragon . All along as the lord was behind me guiding me as fought this dragon. The lord instructed me to kill the dragon. As i spoke the word of God to this dragon it angered. I kept my faith and spoke the scripture. The dragon finally fell down and died. As i turned to the lord to celebrate the victory. He spoke to me and said " Be not Deceived ,he is aliar"..... i turned around to look back at the dragon and it started to rise up . This time i felt what it represented , Death and drugs . As the dragon rose up it grew bigger and meaner . As i saw my self standing there this time .i had the long beautiful bright shining sword in my hands . and it had power you see the power of it glowing of it was beautiful long and sharp it took both of my hands just to hold it . The Lord looked at me and said Son cut of his head.. i did just that and it sliced thru it its neck like nothing before i had seen cut so sharp clean cut. To my surprise the dragon head did not fall off i turn around and the Lord spoke to me again and said now speak my word to the beast .and as i did and the more i spoke scripture it it started to slide down where the clean sharp sword had sliced threw it. Fire started to sphew out the dragons mouth as it angered more and more . Faith believing not given any doubt i contuied to speak the scripture until itts head finally fell off and the dragon was slayed......

    My question is what does this mean and what am i supossed to do and what am i supposed to pray . any one know please pray for me and my walk with God!

    Leviticus Chapter 11

    This chapter describes the dietary laws given by YHWH to the Israelites. I can't say that I really understand the "why" of God for choosing some animals as being clean and others as unclean. I have read many different explanations, but God really does not give the reason He had for His choices.

    Also, this chapter explains YHWH's directives concerning being ceremonially unclean from the uncleanness of animals.

    From what I can derive from this chapter, God did want His people to be set apart from the other peoples around them. He wanted them to follow dietary laws that would make it difficult for them to have much participation with other peoples. We, too, are to decisively forgo debasing activities with unbelievers to preserve our witness for Jesus.

    I also think that God wanted His people to be obedient to Him without having a clear explanation of "why" from Him. We also, are to be obedient to the lead of the Holy Spirit without that "why" answered.

    I also think that these laws must have been for preserving health and avoiding diseases that can pass from animal to man, especially parasitic infections, many being deadly. We, too, are to be feasting on the Word, which brings us health and life. WE can avoid what we hear, see, and do that we know to be evil or depict evil, or pull us away from having the Lord foremost in our minds and hearts.

    And lastly, God wanted Israel to be a "peculiar people", not ordinary or blending in with the crowd. These directives would definitely accomplish this for the Israelites. It still does today for observant Jews. As Christians, are we willing to be considered "peculiar" by the world? Are we willing to look decidedly different from unbelievers. Think even about how some believers feel around separatist believers that dress alike such as: Amish, Hutterites, etc. It is easy to be a bit unnerved around this outward display of being "out of the mainstream" even in Christian circles.

    For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17.

    Often we speak of a revival, sometimes revival seems it is what the church needs rather than the nation. The nation is doing what nations do.

    The church is set apart and is to be light to ALL the world/nations.

    Here's what I observed, Some seems to minister to draw people to themselves.

    They are thinking they are that light and rightfully so. But what is you/light supposed to shine on? Who's in the midst of the candlesticks? Jesus!

    Today we see people "But not everyone" shine light upon themselves. ( Notice I didn't say "the light.)

    Is that an oil filled light?

    Can there be a revival in this way?

    I'm sure we can agree on this matter, The question is "DO I DO THIS?" We should ask ourselves.

    Here is also what we should ask ourselves.

    Does this glorify the Lord?

    Am I doing this by the Spirit of God or the lust of the flesh?

    Is it the Lords glory I am seeking?

    Is this moved by the Spirit?

    If Gods spirit resides in you you should know!

    Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.

    And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. John 12:31-32.

    HOW DOES THE WORLD SEE US?

    Boy does this matter!

    Acts 2:44-47 ?

    John 13:35 ?

    Here is just a few things that would hender these 2 verses?

    Certainly Leaven and the tares plays a role.

    When the world look at us from the outside they see some of their own.

    Pride by the work of their own hands.

    Materialism.

    Racism.

    Ect.ect.

    We also get along worse than them considering we are supposed to be led by the Spirit.

    Jude 1:4

    Hebrews 5:12-14.

    2 Peter 2:10-15.

    This is why everything we do should be what is (caused) by the Holyspirit.

    Don't let pride keep you from your purpose and proper place.

    "Following Jesus and shining you light on Him!!

    Examine ourselves.

    God bless.
  • Jesse - 1 year ago
    In Matthew 12:39, Jesus said, "An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:"



    So Jesus described the character of this generation. He says that an evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign.



    So please be careful if you are a "signs and wonders" seeker. Jesus said that a wicked and an adulterous generation seeks for a sign. It is adultery, it is spiritual adultery!



    Did Jesus perform miracles and give signs? Yes. But they were to point to Him. People were not supposed to follow signs, and we are still not supposed to follow them today, but many still do.



    We know from 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2 that the antichrist, when he comes, that he is going to perform signs and wonders, miracles, and he's going to say that he is god and he's going to deceive many.



    I think that people are setting themselves up today, and they are making it easy for themselves to be deceived when the antichrist comes. Some are constantly looking for signs that point to the end time.

    We as believers do not need signs. We are told three times in the New Testament that we are to live by faith. ( Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, Hebrews 10:38)

  • Dgjot - 1 year ago
    In the Old Testament, the commandment to Tithe was given to the Jews. Everyone was to donate (10% of) their crops and cattle and bring them to the storehouse, so that in times of famine there would be food for all. Nowhere was tithing mentioned by Jesus in the N.T. If tithing was so important, you would think Jesus would have quoted O.T. scripture to support it. (It is written.....) Jesus didn't mention a lot of things, but neither did He contradict His father. Jesus tried to bring people back to our Heavenly Father. He didn't have a cent to His name but He gave what He had received from the Father: healings, freedom from demons, food for the masses, hope, and Salvation.

    Now a days people give their tithe to the "church", who fritters it on Jets, homes, vacations for themselves. What a bunch of wolves in sheeps clothing.

    In the New Testament after the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit of God came down to the earth to dwell with men- those that witnessed that miracle were happy and shared what they had willingly. At least at first. There are always some that ruin it for everyone.

    Read 1 Corinthians 11:18-29 where the new "Christians" turned the Lord's Supper into a free-for-all. Would you support a bunch of gluttonous parasites, "Christian" or not????? Every Christian needs to use some discernment when it comes to giving. "Christian charity" is for one believer in Christ to another. Not every infidel that has their hand out.
  • Evelyn on Revelation 20 - 1 year ago
    When are our names entered into the book of life?
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 50 - 1 year ago
    Psalm 50. Once again; this Psalm is prophetic and has some overlapping themes of the previous one; as well as the next Psalm. Zion is described here in verse 2 as to where "God hath shined." That could be from the heavenly city or the mountain here on earth when He comes. Gathering the saints who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice sounds like the Rapture; and also reminds us of the sentiment of a "broken and contrite spirit" spoken of in Psalm 51:17.

    The purpose of the tine of "Jacob's trouble" ( Jeremiah 30:7) seems to be the meaning of verse 7. Verse 8 interestingly seems to indicate that despite the sacrifice of Christ meaning any future ones to cover sins are futile; the Lord allows this in the Tribulation for a time. This would probably be to bring Satan's plans into fruition; the final "Abomination of Desolation" to be installed; and the realization right before Messiah returns who Christ really is. These verses can be examined further: Daniel 11:30-31; and Zechariah 13 and 14 in their entirety.

    There still will be; as the last chapters of Ezekiel indicate a final Millennial Temple where apparently as a memorial or for ceremonial cleansing for those still in earthly bodies will need to worship around those glorified saints and Christ Himself; lest they be consumed.

    Verses 10 through 13 show the eventual fuility of animal sacrifices. Verse 14 shows as Psalm 51 does about offering a sacrifice of praise; and verse 16 reminds us of Deut. 4:30 when there is hope even in Tribulation for those who cry out. Verses 16 through 22 describe the fate of the wicked; always contrasted with the righteous in scripture and always needed for the complete Gospel of salvation as well. The righteous in the last verse once again are called to praise; but with the stipulation of keeping his "conversation aright". Isaiah 33:14 asks us who can dwell with (or in the presence of) everlasting fire? It mentions "speaking rightly" in the next verse.

    Principle 5 What about the infants; children under "age of accountability" and mentally challenged individuals?

    There are verses related to David's son that died with Bathsheeba that would seem to indicate that children who die before a certain age we can be confident to meet eventually in heaven. ( 2 Samuel 12:14). Those who are mentally challenged to the point where they don't consciously sin also could be arguably in that camp. I know someone who has attended concerts at our local church that I have run into twice in a month or two that is mentally challenged. He tends to obsessively listen to Christian music and gyrate uncontrollably. This is a good reminder to all of us that we don't always see what's going on in the heart of some people. It would be illogical to disbelieve in such individuals having universal salvation upon an early death and somehow expect that they would be Raptured. Whether making it to heaven AFTER death warrants being Raptured is a bit trickier; however. There are verses about gathering the weaning child in Joel 2:16 certainly invoke a theme like the Rapture in the Holy Convocation. We certainly should of course teach the scriptures faithfully to help rear our kids in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

    In light of the above statement; I would say that unlike the hardened hearts of many adults; children still have potential for a large spiritual awakening in terms of numerical response to the Word. That could be something that would signify His imminent return; perhaps with abortions being significantly reduced we will indeed see if Satan has been terminating an army already in heaven of faithful martyrs and if a generation of believers will come into fruition when the children are allowed to live who otherwise would have been slain. This is just a theory; but God will receive praise ( Psalm 8:2).

    Principle Six: ANY new believer is qualified for the Rapture. ( Luke 14:24-35). See my next post...
  • Dgjot on Ezekiel 3 - 1 year ago
    " Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

    18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."

    This is God speaking to Ezekiel about warning the "House of Israel".

    This is where a lot of Christians get the idea to take to the streets and preach Christ.

    Since we're living in the age of Grace, and the Gospel has been preached in every country and every language around the world,and there's the Word of God in print, not to mention radio and television broadcasts-

    why should Christians be afraid about, "his blood will I require at thine hand".

    For years I heard' "Jesus saves." "Jesus saves." "Jesus saves". But I never understood what it meant. Jesus saves what????? It wasn't until years later that I understood. God had mercy on me and didn't let me die in my sins. But this is 2022, where Jesus is mocked and slandered and rejected. (Just like the Pharisees, Scribes and Elders who yelled, "Crucify him" when Pilot wanted to set Jesus free.) Why should I waste my time or have any compassion on rebels like idol worshippers and sodomites???? You can't talk about the saving grace of Jesus to people who have hardened their hearts and have no intention of repenting. They made their bed. Let them lie in it.

    Signs of Rapture Part 2

    Principle 2: Prophecies related to Second Coming and/or the Rapture.

    I would say that despite there being no clear prophetic event showing the date of the Rapture; there certainly are signs of it's imminency; as stated before largely related to the state of the church today. If we are not producing the "salt and light" ( Matthew 5:13-14) that we should then we shouldn't be surprised when the secular society we live in falls apart. I have stated before as well that the basic lack of respect for a covenant marriage bond and subsequent aftermath of divorce and remarriages with the damage incurred has been a largely successful attempt of Satan to push boundaries further in other areas of immorality. As I discussed with someone in church today; the fear of God is something that causes conviction of the nonbeliever if indeed we are walking in the Spirit of God. If we refuse to honor Holiness in our personal lives and create a God (or Christ) in some dumbed down version suiting our imaginations then we are not going to even deserve the blessing of being persecuted and forfeit any resulting reward. Just how far we have gone or whether or not it is actually possible for any large scale revival or repentance is something only God knows.

    There are parables relating to the profitable vs. unprofitable servant; and the wise and unwise virgins that at first glance appear to reference the Rapture; but also may have some application for the Second Coming. Since BOTH events are getting closer to appearing we should of course expect that most have reference to both. That gets me into point 3.

    Principle Three: Who is actually raptured? Revelation 3:10 and Luke 21:36 certainly give us pause to consider if not individuals that are going to be Raptured; the church typifying people that are going to be taken out when He comes for His bride. The question of whether it is a reward or salvation issue is worth investigating.
  • Adam - 1 year ago
    Hello all, prior to yesterday I didn't believe in aliens or life on other planets. I thought God made the universe simply for us to admire in amazement at the vast scale, but figured that God's attention has been on our activities on earth. But I watched someone's interview and it was so detailed that I believe he's telling the truth. It's about a 2 hr interview on YouTube with Joe Rogan and Bob Lazar about Bob seeing, testing, and going in an alien aircraft which presumably originated from a different planet.

    But believing in this now has ramifications- if there's intelligent life on other planets, did Jesus go there and die for them too? Is there a different "Jesus" for them? Is there a different Bible? Different heaven? Or, could these be heavenly beings?
