Hi,
I am new, and I have spoke with many people about my situation, and have gotten many different explanations, First off, Ever since I was young, I was 11 yrs old in a very spiritual foster home, and in the middle of the night I awoke and saw a Angel floating in the corner of my bedroom, I felt very terrified, and rolled over and covered my head til dawn , now many have told me that the Angel wasnt of God, cuz I was sooo scared, over the years, I have had many dreams, of people dying, of people and natural disasters, and always saw demons in my dreams, in a few dreams I saw a demon hovering over my body, can’t explain how it looked, but I wasn’t in my body, I was watching it, then returned to my body and opened my eyes and saw it there, this was in a dream, I also heard the voice of God asking me to follow him, and I am the same dream saw satan, asking me to follow him, they were fighting over, me, I choose God of course, I have had so many weird unexplanable dreams, As I am here today, Saw the 911 attack 3 months before it happened in a dream, I know I am very sensitive to spirits, and sometimes see them, my last major dream, I was walking to a apt, and stopped and behind me was Jesus in all his glory.
I was so scared to turn around and look upon him, that all I did was go to my knees and as I did, Jesus came to me, and I observed him, and when I got up I had the ability to cast out demons, No matter what tv show I see if it has anything to do with casting out demons I can feel within myself, every fiber of my being know how to do this, I have seen and predicted things, all my life, and to be honest this terrifies me beyound belief. I know that Jesus is with me, I pray all the time, and know my gifts he has given me, Sometimes when I read the bible it feels like I am there. I really cant explain it, but I have prayed and prayed for what direction to go in, For God to send me to a person who can explain all this and so far its not been his timing. I just really am looking for ansewers, and basically why me?
If any of this makes any sense to anyone I sure would appreicate any advice. I am not a member of any church and really dont know which direction to go in, there are so many churches in this world, and I can tell if it is a good one or not, for I have been to many. I am a Christian, And would gladly give up my life for God . Thank you for reading this and May God Bless you all, and May Gods Grace and Mercy be with you always.

Joel 2:28 “And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams,
and your young men shall see visions.”
Acts 2:17 “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
I am so encouraged by what you have shared. Jacki, you are so blessed to have seen Jesus in all His glory in a dream! I too have had experiences. I have had a few really intense dreams. Through someone else I have now come to understand that I saw what God was speaking from the throne. That dream was mega intense, and I remember telling God not to scare me. Whenever I have had these intense dreams, all my senses are arrested. I can’t move, can’t wake up, the sleep is deeper but somehow it’s as if I’m completely aware as if I’m awake. There is a fear of the Lord attached to these dreams given by Him, and yet, I crave them all the more. There was a season where He was speaking to me so much in my dreams that I was fearful to go to sleep. This fear is very different from the fear of the world. It’s a holy, reverent awe for God. He is so powerful. I have heard God’s audible voice, had Jesus come and speak to me in my left ear giving me guidance, had Him appear to me in my room, seen visions, heard in the spiritual realm, seen angels and demons in the form of flashes of light and dark, etc. I am so hungry for more. I want to get caught up to heaven and have my spiritual senses completely opened to where I can operate fully as a co-heir with Christ. God has definitely chosen you. He is speaking to you as His chosen vessel and He smiles over you. There will be that holy, reverent awe that you feel for these things. If you didn’t feel this, you’d be treating these things of God as common and ordinary and we are to honor Him. I would advise you to surrender to what He’s doing in you. I prayed a while back for God to stop giving me dreams like He was, because the intensity of it all was too much for me to handle, but now I wish I hadn’t because He hasn’t spoken to me in dreams much lately. I want it back full force. God is good to you, Jacki, and you can trust Him. It’s beautiful to see Him love you the way He does.
Jacki… I can’t give you a direct answer but…! There are 2 things I’m experiencing lately and I believe it maybe a lesson for many of us! We can’t boast about anything in ourselves, because in ourselves we are nothing! But, surely, God gives us wisdom and knowledge that we must share with each other!
Firstly, I believe, the bigger our faith in Jesus our Lord grow, the bigger the challenges become .We can’t grow and bear fruit if we are not pruned. Pruning maybe a painful experience,the older a branch get, the thicker the parts that maybe pruned – but it will bring joy once we can bear fruit for our Lord! That brings me to the main point!
After Moses and Israel left Egypt, they came to one of their biggest challenges – in front of them was the Red Sea, behind them, they knew the Egyptian army were coming in full force! Many of us, whether in small negative situations or very big bad situations , do have this Red Sea moment! Whereto now?! Everything seems to be impossible! What must have gone through the minds of those Israelite’s? We have been freed from slavery just to die here at the shores of the Red Sea!?
This is were we must fall down on our knees and pray! Not a prayer of lost hope, but a prayer of joy and faith! When God says that He will complete what He started, that is exactly what will happen! God’s plan will for ever continue and His Words will never return without doing what He said must be done! Today His Word is just as true as it was and ever will be! God will not fail His promises!
As for you and everybody else! God has a plan and a task for every single one of His children! Jacki, the answers for all your questions are standing in the Word of God. Read His Word, study it and God will reveal to you the truth on time. I’ve also had an amazing and mind-boggling experience and because it is far above our human understanding, I’ve had many questions and still do! I know what I know and I’m very sure, I also saw Jesus and felt His wonderful presence! It was the most wonderful experience ever , it lasted for seconds but… no words can ever describe that! I want to share that with everybody and it is like an unstoppable fountain! I wanted to share that with people in ministry and wanted to hear what they have to say about our wonderful God and what had happened to me, but twice the same message came back to me. 2 Pastors, who don’t know each other and live in towns 200 km apart, said…:”you know what you know, these things are not to quibble about, God will direct you!” Read His Word. Yes, God can use people to teach you and help you but… as you said, you don’t know to which church(and then which people) to turn to! The wisest is to start within the Word of God! He will direct you! So many things has since then ,been revealed to me and, some have been confirmed in many different ways – the answers just started to come through!
God will show you on time!Don’t try to get answers from people at first. Start reading the most precious Book ,the Word of God. Read all the books about revelation, read the whole New Testament again, even if you did! God uses His Word, from Genesis to Revelations and… It is wonderful to see how God shows us “new” things every time we read His Word!Even if you have read it 20 times, suddenly something new may be revealed to you!
May God guide you through His Holy Spirit and show you the way! As you know, Jesus is the truth, the way and the life! He said :”Follow me!” Don’t be deceived and keep your faith in Him. Remember, whatever talents or gifts God might have given to you, He wants us to use it all to His glory only! We must pray to God and make sure, we never ever exalt ourselves, but whatever fruit we bear ,it must be all to His glory! How to test any church /people ,to see if they are in line with God – the fruit they bear will show you. Only when you can see the fruit are good fruit as to the Word of God, and for example, you can only find figs on a fig tree! I hope this may help you and/or anyone else who are struggling with situations. It helped me, and I thank God Jesus Christ our Savior for that!
In the Name of Jesus, may you be blessed with pure knowledge from God! May you hear His voice correctly, and obey Him, so that you can bear good fruit in His Name! Amen
