In times past, servants of God were given visions and dreams for specific reasons or to convey special messages. Jesus provided a vision of His future Kingdom on earth to Peter, James, and John, serving as a witness and encouragement. While God has employed this means of communication previously and will do so again, He uses it only when circumstances warrant, typically directing such revelations to His ministers and specially chosen servants like Jacob, Joseph, Nebuchadnezzar, and Daniel. Determining the origin of a vision, dream, or premonition can be challenging, so caution is necessary when ascribing such experiences to God, even if they seem supernatural. We are warned to test the spirits to discern if they are of God, as many false prophets exist in the world. False ministers may use dreams and visions to deceive God's people and build a following for themselves. God instructs us through Isaiah to test the spirits by comparing their messages to the law and testimony of the Bible; if they do not align with this word, there is no light in them. Unless a dream or vision completely agrees with the Bible in message and content, we can know it is not of God. Some visions and dreams may arise from mental or physical stress or the pressures of daily life, as an upset or overly stimulated mind can produce vivid dreams. In cases where an unpleasant dream or vision causes distress, fear, or physical sickness, seeking God's intervention and healing is advised. If satan troubles us with bad dreams, we should ask God to rebuke him. Staying close to God through prayer and Bible study ensures that satan cannot disturb us, and God will grant peace of mind to those who walk with Him each day.
