idnoble135: No, he/she should not.
I think you do not understand my post. I'd give you an example of what i meant by that post.
During my secondary school days, I was close to the school management, particularly the proprietor. This was so due to a number of factors.
However, one morning before I awoke from sleep for my devotion, I had a dream. The dream was blurry but I knew it was not a good one. As soon as I woke up, I felt a stirring in my spirit to pray in tongues. I prayed for sometime in tongues when divine knowledge of an incident that was to happen flowed in.
I knew it was of God. As soon as I got to school, I (with one brother who went with me) notified the proprietor that something unpleasant was about to happen. I was heavily talked down. I felt bad.
But you see, barely a week after that, what I told the proprietor about began to happen. He was shocked, that was the first time in his life that he would witness such. I think it's safe to be quiet about what really happened.
But my point is this, not all dreams are demonic, some are simply because people ate late or as a result of seriously thinking about an event. But sometimes it could be of God. And that's why I said there that, some dreams could come with a divine leading for christians to pray.

Do you now get my post?
Yeah sure...very true. God still direct via dreams

The HolySpirit guides us through such

[quote author=rapture_ready]I don't really know. But I think it is because we hear of these things all the time. And maybe we've had a similar bad experience before we were born again.[/quote]That's why the bible said be ye transformed BY THE RENEWAL OF YOUR MIND

You know, like my cousin(not born again) once had a dream where a man shot him in 3 places with a gun(probably not kalashin or he 4 jus die strait grin). In the dream another man met him and calmed him down while he was crying and removed the first two bullets, but before he could get to the third one, the guy just go wake up! huh

For several days afterward the guy suffered some seriously excruciating pain IN THAT EXACT SPOT where the third dream bullet entered.

Methinks the coincidence jus too much. grin
He not in Christ...I'm not surprised grin

I think it is just us trying to be cautious. On one hand, it may just be our dumb, hungry imagination. But since we know these things sometimes occur, we release Holy Ghost fire to roast some evil butt, just in case.
Hmmmm...God go help us

You're quite right! So I guess if a person is truly born again, and soaked himself in the blood of Jesus before hitting the snooze button, he probably shouldn't be to bothered. Some people prefer to err on the side of caution though.
Surely

That's probably a good way to avoid obesity! grin

idnoble135: Yea, it is possible.
But I believe it can only happen when one ignores the prompting of the Holy Ghost to pray.
The exact point I'm trying to make is, all dreams are not demonic, but some could actually be from God. So it depends on the divine leading one gets.
Should a Christian be subjected to whatever he dreamt of, which is not in line with scriptures?
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Christians Think Eating In Their Dreams Is Demonic? by Gombs(op): 11:07am On Oct 23, 2013
Candour: Christians don't need deliverance from demonic forces because Christ already won victory over them 2000 years ago. Rather Christians need deliverance from traditions and superstitious beliefs. This particular case of eating in dreams with calamities following has no basis in the bible but is well entrenched in African superstition. Atimes we make our Christianity look like a modern version of Vodun religion and our churches as glorified witchdoctor premises with all manner of incantations in the name of prayer.

To a fearful Christian who doesn't know the full ramifications of the cross @ calvary, everything he/she sees must have imprint of Satan, demons or devourer. In this way they grovel in silent fear and awe of the powers of darkness.

I was in that circle for over 10 years and I know what damage it did to my psyche. I've been detoxifying and purging myself of the poisonous fears I imbibed all those years ever since through intensive study of the word of God and I can tell you there's nothing like being free of all those debilitating fears.

Some folks insist they get messages through dreams, I won't argue with them but dreams come as a result of multitude of business(Eccl 5:3). Your daily activities go a long way to dictate what kind of dreams you have so let's not get too paranoid about what we dream about. If you don't like the dream, cancel it and get going. Don't allow it mess up your mind.

We are conquerors already through Christ. Let's walk in the reality of this victory.

Gombs, but some dreams are spiritual, not just the workings of our mind or paranoi. Christians can be hurt through their dreams, or do you disagree?
Yeah, Spiritual....but if such are not in line with the Bible, disregard it.

I disagree that Christian can be hurt through their dreams...you latter sentence undermines ALL Christ did

Ascending another level, methinks it's not really the dream that causes the problems for we Africans. It is the mindset which is wrongly conditioned. I mean, some lousy dreams that some folks have will instantly develop negative feelings, equivalent to negative expectations. And of course, this scripture sums it all.
What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded
has happened to me. Job 3:25NIV
True!
Weirdly, they NEVER ascribe good meanings to such dreams.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do Christians Think Eating In Their Dreams Is Demonic? by Gombs(op): 10:47am On Oct 23, 2013
ARareGem: It's mostly the aftermath. Also, I've heard testimonies of people confessing of how they were initiated after eating in dreams....

But it's true o, I don't actually recall chewing on the food or tasting it. I just wake up believing I ate.

In fact, there was a time I kept on dreaming such and I was tremendously shakened. Was busy binding and casting. grin One day as I woke up from the recurrent dream, I just hissed and went on with my normal activities. Didn't even pray. The dreams stopped.
grin

Lesson learnt: The devil just loves to feed on your fears. Don't let him.
Very true

And we all know fear attracts that which we are afraid of...imagine what he does/will do with the fear you developed over nothing

Dats my concern

Possibly, most times we dream of eating, it may just be our brain wishing we had steak for dinner grin
Yeah, wishful thinking brings about a particular kind of dream...but why then attach it to demonism?

However, demonic attacks & spiritual poisoning do occur (if u no bliv me go try una village dibia grin) and this is what drives the caution, which at times extends into paranoia.
Are Christians supposed to be under such influence?

Dreams sometimes have physical meanings and interpretations. So I say next time if you see food in your dream, TELL D MAGA MAKE HIM CARI D FOOD CUM UR HAUS 4 MORNING! Afterall, dream food no de sweet or giv any nutrients 4 bodi. grin

Christianity EtcRe: At What Age Does God Record A Person's Sin by Gombs(m): 9:52am On Oct 23, 2013
ajayikayod: Op, ur title and d question asked in d body of post ar two diff thing.

Title: At wat age does God record a person's sin? Actually, God doesnt do dt.
Very Correct...+600000likes

Op Body: At what age does a person takes responsibilities for His or her actions? Since ur "accepted action to God" is dependent on accepting Christ, i will say u r responsible from d day u can clearly understand, intelligently process and make independent decisions on information passed to u.

Usually its about maturity of d fellow not d person's age.
At the age of accountability, like say age 8 or less say 5 or 6 (not later than 10 tho), its the duty of the parent to lead such to Christ, (get he/she born again). That's y its important we groom these little ones in the things of God.

If the child dies before the age of accountability say ages 3 or 4 and below, his/her salvation is dependent on that of his/her parent. (Open another thread if you want to debate it)
Christianity EtcRe: Why Are Some Churches(christians) Praying Holyghost Fire On Their Enemies? by Gombs(m): 9:30am On Oct 23, 2013
Jesus asked us to love and pray for our enemies..he prayed for his enemies and loved them

He never asked us to kill them by fire or such. Infact, he set a table for us in their presence, not their absence, meaning they aint a factor, they don't matter.

Prov 16v7
When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.




Just please the Lord...change your prayer points, rather that sending holyghost fire, worship God, praise him, thank him, do his Word... And he'd take care of your enemies

2 Chronicle 1v11-12

11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine
heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as
none of the kings have had that have been before thee,
neither shall there any after thee have the like.


Be like Solomon...d man didn't ask for the life of his enemies even though he knew he was an illegitimate Child, he knew David's other sons were against him..but he asked for WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE...go study how all his enemies ended

Praying down holyghost fire is unscriptural and though Elijah called down fire from heaven, it didn't consume his enemies (prophet of Baal).

Same as praying the "I cover myself/family/car/etc with the blood of Jesus" prayer is unscriptural.
Christianity EtcWhy Do Christians Think Eating In Their Dreams Is Demonic? by Gombs(op):
In my experience, people often eat in dreams, but the
actual eating most often takes place "off camera" -
that is to say, the dreamer is about to eat, and there is
a jump cut to having just eaten, but the dream memory
of actually putting food/drink into his/her mouth,
tasting/chewing, and swallowing is very rare.

When we do actually remember eating in a dream, it's
worth asking "Do I actually taste the food, or feel it in my mouth?" It's pretty rare if we do.

Since we eat so often in waking life, it is something of a puzzle why we seldom have or remember "the full eating experience" so in dreams.

My wonder then is, why do Christians (I mean Christians not any random folk because I know what the bible says) attribute eating in dreams as a demonic attack and most times they go seek for prayers and deliverance?

Any scripture(s) to back up that claim?

Is the devil that good enough to give someone food in a dream? Last time I checked, God was the one sending food through angels to folks.

I dream atimes that I'm in a banquet with a lot of trendy food...though I cant remember actually eating ( putting the food in my mouth and hence get a taste), but in the dream memory I ate. I've never attributed it to a demonic attack and I've never had one (will never have any). I'd encourage folks who dreamt they ate in their dreams to hold their peace, rather they should glorify God.

Next time they offer you food in your dream, as a believer in Christ, eat it! grin

When you wake up, thank God for it

If you ever dream of whatsoever thing...take the good part and ignore the bad part...for example if you dreamt you are driving a car and towards the end you began riding a bicycle, hold onto the picture of the car and forget the bicycle part. Don't go about looking for interpretations and hence subjecting urself to funny diabolic interpretations. Never put your self in bondage of attributing a lot you see in dreams as demonic.

Now, I'm in no way saying there aint demonic attack in dreams...that's why I used the key word CHRISTIANS with particular interest in eating food in dreams.

For those who have intercourse in their dreams...simply disregard it and look onto better pictures in the Word. Whatever you dream about that's not in sync with the Word...simply send it to the trash can. Don't put urself under bondage over nothing.

However, If you have any scripture to show eating in dreams is demonic, or if you care to explain how it is demonic, I'd love to read your view.



Cheers

Heirs Of Prosperity · Wednesday, October 23rd ·

Pastor Chris

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).


You need never pray "O God prosper me," because in Christ Jesus, you’re an heir of prosperity. Praying to God to prosper you is asking Him to make you what you already are! Just as righteousness has been imparted to your spirit, greatness has been imparted to your spirit. You were born an heir of the Sovereign.

2 Corinthians 8:9 says, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."

In the same sense that He died that you might live, and became sin (that is, the sin sacrifice) that you might be made righteous, He also became poor that you might be an heir of prosperity: "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…" (Romans 8:17). Now, everything He owns belongs to you; He made and owns the whole world. In Haggai 2:8 He said, "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts." It’s up to you to use His Name and reject poverty, sickness and everything that’s not of God from your life, and live joyfully in prosperity all your days.

Prayer
  Dear Father, I thank you for the awesome inheritance, which you’ve bequeathed to me in Christ! You’ve given me an incorruptible inheritance, and a glorious life in you! I fulfill your desire for me by walking in prosperity, health, and success, to your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
