A dream

[Pet]

Ten years ago, I had a dream... I was in a country pub, with people drinking a lot of wine and sumptuous food.
Jesus was about to visit, to teach.
I went into a snug, with a friend, to wait for Jesus to arrive.
We sat on old tapestry chairs, and there were three black labs in the room.
Jesus arrived, passed us by, and went into a private room.
I got up to look into the room, and there were quite a few children, sitting quietly. When I got up, one of the dogs, jumped onto my chair.
Jesus closed the door...
We were outside, with the dogs.
It's been ten years, and I've had nothing since...I'm scared

What are you afraid of, pet?

 

[Pet]

What are you afraid of, pet?

I was outside, Jesus passed me by, like He never knew me.

Rev 22:15
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

If I was in your place I would ask myself if I was any of those things. If I was, I would repent. If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be afraid.

Dreams don’t always have meanings.

Ten years is a long time to live in fear. If I may, that’s not what Jesus wants for his disciples.

”Be not afraid” is a fairly common phrase in scripture.

So, I used to be a couple of those things, and have repented...I think I have?
Thankyou for being gracious though :)
...I heard the other day, that 'do not be afraid' is in The Bible 365 times...one for each day of the year

@Pet the dream does have a meaning. The dream is meant to speak to you of repentance. As soon as you believe on Jesus Christ the Son of God, receive Him as your Savior and Lord, repent of your sins, and ask Him to cleanse you of your sins .. you are then in Christ and have nothing to fear.

Read the scripture you posted in context. There is hope in this message. It is an invitation. (Read vs 17)

Rev 22:15 (KJV)
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Be certain of your repentance. If / when you are, you are a new creation in Messiah Jesus. You should take great comfort in that thought and let go of the fear.

How can I be certain of my repentance?
It's like forgiveness, we can say we forgive, but it has to be from the heart.
I have repented, i utterly regret my past life, but what if its phoney? Idk

Thankyou, I'm getting the feeling that I haven't accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. I've said I do, but think it's superficial.
I've listened to a lot of lies, and false teaching in the past.
Trying to just stick to The Bible now.
Please pray that I genuinely accept Him

If you changed your mind and turned away from whatever the issue was, you know that you have.

It's like forgiveness, we can say we forgive, but it has to be from the heart.

Yes. We’re instructed in scripture to examine ourselves.

I have repented, i utterly regret my past life…

That sounds genuine to me.

… but what if its phoney? Idk

I think you would know if it was or not. If you’re no longer doing what you utterly regretted having done in the past, it’s not phony.

I'm not, He's delivered me from virtually everything.

Believing that he has delivered you from virtually everything, persuaded that it is true, you shouldn’t be afraid.

I had planned earlier today to use this quote for another purpose this evening but I’ve decided to post it here instead.

“Lot’s wife looked back ... and became a pillar of salt. Some of you can’t move forward because you keep trying to revisit what God rescued you from.” - Jason Robinson

I don’t know if this will help you or not @Pet, but in light of what you said in post # 12 it might. Something to think about anyway.

Thankyou matt. I had to go to bed, but still struggled to go off. Faith is the substance of things unseen. I have to believe that He saved me, from what I was. G bless you & yours

Make the effort and listen to or watch some episodes on the ReDiscovering God link in my signature below Pet. Hope is just around the corner.

There you go. Can you continue to trust Jesus to save you, not only from what you were, but from what you are?

Trust Jesus.

Respond accordingly. Every day.

You’ll sleep better. Okay?
