Spiritual senses awaken

Post by goldmoor »

i always wonder what was it like when spritirual sense our awake( awareness of the spirit realm)
my dad all my life as told me time and time of the angels the demons and the vision that God has reveal to him and
the reason i believe him is because he ha made several predictions that God had revealed to him and have come true and one thing that get me to this day,Once i told him a dream i had but left the last part he then told the last part of my dream and it was like we both so the smae movie it was verbatim of what i dreamt about he tells me"God reveal it to me ". i ask when do i reach the level with my walk in christ that God will reveal to me the "unseen" he says that you can't reach a certain "level" God decide to reveal and not to

what i am trying to get at is there a way or the i have to wait until God decides to open my spiritual eyes
for God has not given us a spirit of fear,but power and of love and of a sound mind 2timonthy1:7

he has given us power to overcome any obstacle,love to endured any and all hardship and a sound mind to solve any problem and have peace inside and out so truly what is it that we should fear

Are you 100% sure it was God revealing these things to your dad?? I'm not saying it's not true, but to be cautious. Sometimes psychics can do the same things ( sometimes ) but it is demons or the devil revealing these things to distract or lead Christians down the wrong path away from God. If you put all of your faith in these supernatural abilities, then how much more will you trust something "revealed" to you than what the Bible ( God's word ) says.

The Bible clearly states to stay away from psychic(s) abilities and people who "communicate with the dead" or see spirits. It would be amazing if it was really God revealing these things to your dad and I hope it was. ( But the dream makes me suspicious because I don't see a reason as to why He would reveal that )

God Bless you

EDIT: Can you describe some of these predictions?

If you want to get closer to Him, I would advise that you repent of your sins and do your best to follow His commandments or Torah. Being thankful and prayer is also another powerful tool to use also. Now obviously this isn't a magical pill to swallow and all things suddenly become revealed, but I think it will change your spiritual perspective on things greatly.

It has taken me many years to understand this simple concept. Many... 30 to be exact.

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

Off the top of my head i cannot remeber andi understand what you are talking about ,but i can assure you that it was god revealing it
because it never conflicted with scripture and also my dad can interpert dreams like(joseph) and i also know that is from because his interpertations never deviate from scripture as well
