Some believers unwittingly drive themselves into mysticism. One way into this is neglecting to take the word of God on its face value. Another way is failure to separate between casual,  inconsequential dreams from prophetic ones. My wife and I stayed at a Guest House in Aswan, Egypt, when we visited. It was one of 17-ministry organization run by Germans. It was bed and breakfast setting. On the second night of our stay, I had a dream. I was talking with a woman who was supposed to be in charge of kitchen that morning. She spoke with a Liberian accent and was quite unfriendly. I asked her about breakfast and she sounded cocky. She later informed me that breakfast that morning was without egg! As soon as I woke up, I laughed; and told my wife that there was nothing to that dream other than that it came from multitude of travel and weariness. Lo and behold, there was no Liberian woman in the kitchen by daybreak; and egg was served!

Some believers unwittingly drive themselves into mysticism…They attach meanings to things that ought to be dismissed first hand. In the process they dabble into mysticism unknowingly.

There are believers who are rather too superstitious in handling matters of this nature. They attach meanings to things that ought to be dismissed first hand. In the process they dabble into mysticism unknowingly. God spoke extensively to saints in the Old Testament through dreams. However, in these last days, He has spoken expressly through His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the word of God; and there is no better way to receive from Him than this. This does not foreclose the possibility of God speaking to us through dreams. After all, the Bible says that old men shall dream in the last days. Notwithstanding, every dream must line up with the written word of God and must be interpreted by the help of the Holy Spirit.
