WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU DREAM THAT YOU ARE LOST?

Dreams about being lost whether in a city, school, forest, at a crossroads, in a race, or in an unfamiliar place are more than just random nighttime thoughts. They can be deeply spiritual messages, often used by God to reveal something important about your current condition in life and your walk with Him.

These types of dreams can happen to anyone, whether you are a Christian or not. But they typically serve as a wake-up call—especially for those who are drifting away from God or have never truly known Him.

1. For Those Who Are Not Saved: A Call to Salvation

If you’re not yet born again, God may be showing you that you’re spiritually lost. In your dream, you may be wandering, confused, and unable to find your way. That reflects your current relationship with God—you are separated from Him, without direction or peace.

The Bible says:

Psalm 37:18-20 (NIV)

“The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care, and their inheritance will endure forever.
In times of disaster they will not wither; in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.
But the wicked will perish: Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field, they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.”

This shows the stark contrast between the righteous and the wicked. To be spiritually lost means to be outside of God’s protection and destined for destruction unless something changes.

Psalm 1:6 (ESV)

“For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.”

If God is showing you a dream like this, it’s a gracious warning. He wants to guide you to safety before it’s too late.

2. Jesus is the Only Way

You may think you’re doing well maybe you have a good job, a nice home, a happy family, and good health but none of those things can save your soul. Being lost spiritually is far more serious than any physical loss. That’s why Jesus said:

John 14:6 (NIV)

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

There is only one path that leads to God and that path is Jesus Christ. He came to rescue those who are lost.

Luke 19:10 (NIV)

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

This means your dream may be a divine invitation. God wants to rescue you from your current path and bring you into a relationship with Him.

3. How to Respond: Repent and Believe

If you’ve realized you are spiritually lost, the Bible calls you to repent to turn away from sin and turn toward God.

Acts 3:19 (NIV)

“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”

Take a moment, wherever you are, to talk to God in prayer. Confess your sins. Ask for forgiveness. Invite Jesus into your life. Be honest He already knows everything about you, but He wants you to come willingly.

If your prayer is genuine, God will forgive you:

1 John 1:9 (NIV)

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”

4. Next Step: Be Baptized in the Name of Jesus

After repentance, the Bible teaches that baptism is the next step. This isn’t just a ritual it’s a public and spiritual act of obedience that identifies you with Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

Acts 2:38 (NIV)

“Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”

True baptism is by full immersion in water and done in the name of Jesus Christ. If you’re not sure where to be baptized correctly, contact a local Bible-believing church or reach out to someone who can guide you.

5. For Believers: A Warning to Stay on the Path

If you’re already a Christian and you keep dreaming that you’re lost, God may be warning you. It could mean:

  • You’re straying from your spiritual path.

  • You’re about to make a decision that could pull you away from God’s will.

  • There’s a sin or habit in your life that’s grieving the Holy Spirit.

These dreams may be God’s way of saying: “Come back before it’s too late.”

Revelation 3:11 (NIV)

“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”

Stay faithful. Reexamine your life. Let go of anything pulling you away from God. The enemy often uses distractions, pride, or sin to cause believers to drift. But God, in His love, sends dreams like these to get your attention.

Ezekiel 44:10 (ESV)

“But the Levites who went far from me, going astray from me after their idols when Israel went astray, shall bear their punishment.”

This is a warning: Don’t go back to the things God delivered you from. His grace saved you for a purpose. Remain in His presence, obey His Word, and stay connected in fellowship with other believers.

In Summary:

  • Dreaming that you are lost is a spiritual alert from God.

  • If you’re not saved, it’s a call to repent and believe in Jesus.

  • If you are saved, it’s a call to examine your walk and return to faithfulness.

  • Don’t ignore these warnings God speaks in many ways, including dreams (Job 33:14-18).

  • Today is the day of salvation. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

Hebrews 3:15 (NIV)

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”

If you’d like to know where you can be baptized properly or need spiritual guidance, feel free to reach out to trusted Christian ministries or local churches. 

May God bless you and guide you back to His perfect path.

The 9 Fruits of the Holy Spirit

Biblical and Theological Reflection
Scripture Reference: Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)

Introduction
A genuine sign that a person is filled with the Holy Spirit is not only the display of spiritual gifts, but more importantly, the transformation of their character. According to Scripture, holiness is the visible evidence of the Spirit’s indwelling presence. While gifts such as prophecy, healing, or speaking in tongues are valuable (1 Corinthians 12), they are secondary to the inward fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in a believer’s life.

Paul, writing to the Galatians, identifies this character transformation as the fruit of the Spirit—a singular “fruit” made up of nine distinct yet interconnected qualities. These are not optional traits, nor can they be selectively displayed. Together, they form a unified expression of the Holy Spirit’s work in sanctifying a believer.

Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

Theological Insight
The term “fruit” (Greek: karpos) in this passage is singular, indicating that these virtues are not separate “fruits” to be picked individually but rather a single cluster that grows together as a result of the Spirit’s presence. This is vital: true Christian maturity involves growing in all of these areas—not excelling in one while ignoring others.

The fruit of the Spirit is essentially the character of Christ being formed in the life of a believer (Romans 8:29; 2 Corinthians 3:18). It reflects a life submitted to God’s will and shaped by His grace.

The Nine-Fold Fruit of the Spirit

  1. Love (Agape) – Selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love, the highest virtue (1 Corinthians 13:1–3).
  2. Joy – A deep, abiding inner gladness not dependent on circumstances (Romans 15:13).
  3. Peace – Inner tranquility and trust in God’s sovereignty (Philippians 4:6–7).
  4. Patience (Forbearance) – The ability to endure hardship or difficult people with grace (Colossians 3:12).
  5. Kindness – A heart that seeks to bless and not harm others (Ephesians 4:32).
  6. Goodness – Moral integrity and a desire to do what is right (Romans 12:9).
  7. Faithfulness – Steadfast loyalty and trustworthiness (1 Corinthians 4:2).
  8. Gentleness – Humility and a meek spirit, not weakness but strength under control (Matthew 5:5).
  9. Self-Control – Mastery over one’s desires and impulses, guided by the Spirit (Titus 2:11–12).

Conclusion
The fruit of the Spirit is the evidence of a life truly transformed by God. It is not something we can produce on our own, but the natural result of abiding in Christ (John 15:5). The more we walk in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:25), the more these traits will be evident in our lives.

May every believer strive not just for spiritual gifts, but for a Spirit-shaped character that reflects Christ to the world.

Be blessed as you grow in the fullness of the Spirit’s fruit.

STILL HAVEN’T UNDERSTOOD?

One of the most transformative works of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life—especially after surrendering fully to follow Jesus Christ—is delivering them from the fear of life, particularly the fear of the future. Many believers, especially in the early stages of their faith, find themselves overwhelmed by uncertainty: “What will happen tomorrow? Will I have enough? How will I survive next month?”

This anxiety is common to human experience. As we mature, a natural concern for survival, provision, and success emerges. But when this concern becomes consuming fear, it enslaves us. The fear of tomorrow robs us of joy today and places us under mental and spiritual bondage.

However, God never intended His children to live in fear. That’s why the Holy Spirit leads believers through a process of inner renewal—teaching us to trust God completely, not just with eternity but also with our daily lives.

1. The Fear of Tomorrow is Not from God

The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Timothy 1:7:

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Fear does not originate from God. While caution and planning are part of wisdom, paralyzing anxiety about the future is contrary to the Spirit-led life. Fear diminishes faith and keeps us from fully depending on God as our Provider (Jehovah Jireh – Genesis 22:14).

2. Jesus’ Disciples Struggled with This Too

In Matthew 16:5–12, the disciples forgot to bring bread. When Jesus warned them, “Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees,” they assumed He was speaking about literal bread. They began to worry. But Jesus rebuked them:

“O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread? Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up?” (vv. 8–9)

Jesus reminded them of His miraculous provision. If He had fed thousands with a few loaves before, why wouldn’t He provide again? The point wasn’t the bread—it was their lack of trust. Jesus wanted them focused not on scarcity but on the abundance of God’s faithfulness.

3. Trust in the Father Who Knows Your Needs

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addressed these same fears head-on:

“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?”
— Matthew 6:25

Jesus used simple illustrations: the birds of the air, the lilies of the field. They do not toil, yet God feeds and clothes them.

“Are you not of more value than they?” (v. 26)

He concluded with this powerful directive:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.”
— Matthew 6:33–34

This is not a call to recklessness but to trust. We are to prioritize God’s kingdom, trusting Him to meet our needs in His timing and in His way.

4. Faith Requires Remembering God’s Past Faithfulness

One reason we fall back into fear is that we forget what God has already done for us. In the Old Testament, God frequently reminded Israel to remember His mighty acts—especially after deliverance from Egypt (Deuteronomy 8:2). Similarly, Jesus reminded the disciples about the loaves and fishes.

Likewise, when we face lack or uncertainty today, we must recall our testimonies: the times God provided, healed, or opened doors in ways we never imagined. That memory is a weapon against fear.

5. God’s Silence Isn’t Absence

Sometimes, we expect God to hand us a five-year plan the moment we accept Christ. We want full security—how much we’ll earn, where we’ll live, what we’ll have. But often, God doesn’t reveal everything at once. Instead, He leads us one step at a time to build our faith.

He may allow a dry season—not to punish us, but to prepare us, humble us, and deepen our trust in Him. As Paul says:

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
— Philippians 4:19

That promise doesn’t always mean immediate surplus—but it does mean provision in due time.

6. God is a True Father, Not a Distant Overseer

God isn’t a stepfather or an indifferent ruler. He is Abba, Father (Romans 8:15), a loving and faithful provider. He does not delight in your suffering. He sees, He knows, and He cares.

“Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”
— Hebrews 13:5

Even when we feel forgotten, we are never abandoned.

7. God is Just and He Cares About Your Wellbeing

In Lamentations 3:36, the prophet writes:

“To subvert a man in his cause—The Lord does not approve.”

This means God is not indifferent to injustice, need, or human suffering. He is a God of justice, mercy, and restoration.

Final Encouragement

So if you find yourself in a difficult place—where resources are low, and tomorrow seems uncertain—don’t lose heart. Remember what God has done. Rehearse His faithfulness. Lean into His Word. And when doubt whispers, hear the voice of Jesus asking:

“Do you still not understand?” — Matthew 16:9, paraphrased

Let faith rise again. Walk forward, not in fear, but in the confidence that your Heavenly Father holds your tomorrow.

The Lord bless you and keep you.

“Driving a Car in a Dream”

First, it’s crucial to understand that most dreams we have are typically reflections of our own thoughts and daily experiences. Research in both psychology and theology suggests that our minds process daily activities and emotional states during sleep, often resulting in dreams that reflect our life situations. Statistically, it is believed that 95% of our dreams originate from our daily experiences, what we are thinking about, or the environment around us.

These kinds of dreams often do not carry deeper spiritual meanings but are simply a reflection of our subconscious. If you have such a dream, it’s important to not overly concern yourself with it. If you’re not sure about the significance of a dream, it is wise to understand the general categories of dreams before diving into the interpretation. How can you distinguish if a dream is from God or the enemy?

However, if a dream repeatedly occurs and seems to be out of sync with your current environment, it may signify that God is trying to communicate something important to you. The Bible speaks of God revealing things through dreams, especially when He has a message to deliver.

The Dream of Driving: A Sign of Leadership and Purpose

When you dream of driving a car, particularly with passengers in the back, it signifies that you are in control of your life or the lives of others. It symbolizes leadership and direction whether you are leading yourself toward a specific goal or guiding others along their journey. If you are a believer and are actively pursuing God’s will, this dream is an encouragement to keep moving forward with purpose, speed, and faith.

This aligns with the Biblical principle of God calling believers to walk in the path He has set before them, as seen in Hebrews 12:1 (NIV): “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”

If you are committed to God’s purpose, the dream encourages you to keep pressing forward, without hesitation or fear, as in Philippians 3:14 (NIV): “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

The Example of Jehu: Acting with Purpose and Speed

The Bible gives us the example of Jehu, who drove his chariot with fury and speed on a divine mission to eradicate the evil reign of King Joram and Queen Jezebel. Jehu’s mission was to purge Israel of idolatry and the evil influence of Ahab’s family.

In 2 Kings 9:20, it says: “The watchman reported, saying, ‘He has reached them, but he is not coming back; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.'”

Jehu’s example is a reminder that when God calls you to a mission, you should move with urgency and purpose, without being slowed down by distractions or fear of opposition. The faster you pursue God’s purpose, the more successful you will be in achieving His will.

The Importance of Correctly Carrying God’s Purpose: David’s Mistake

However, the dream of driving also serves as a cautionary reminder. In 1 Chronicles 13:7, when King David sought to move the Ark of the Covenant, he made a mistake by using a cart drawn by oxen instead of allowing the priests to carry the Ark, as God had originally commanded. This act of disobedience led to the death of Uzzah, who reached out to steady the Ark.

1 Chronicles 13:7-10 (NIV):
7 “So they moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. 8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets. 9 When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 10 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark; so he died there before God.”

This story emphasizes the importance of obeying God’s specific instructions when fulfilling His purpose. In the same way, when you are “driving” towards your purpose in life, you must ensure that you’re doing so according to God’s will, using the right methods and resources, and not taking shortcuts. The vehicle, in this case, could symbolize the tools, resources, and people you are using to fulfill God’s mission. Missteps can lead to spiritual consequences, as seen with Uzzah.

Theological Implication: Leading Others in the Right Direction

The Bible also warns about the dangers of leading others astray. In 2 Chronicles 21:12-15, we read about King Jehoram, who led Judah into sin and idolatry. His reign was marked by violence, rebellion, and disobedience to God, and the result was judgment upon his life and the lives of those he led.

2 Chronicles 21:12-15 (NIV):
12 “A letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying: ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah. 13 But you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and you have led Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab did; and you have also murdered your brothers, your own family, men who were better than you. 14 So now the Lord is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and everything that is yours, with a heavy blow. 15 You yourself will be struck with a severe disease, with the disease of your bowels, and it will be a disease that will cause your bowels to come out day by day.'”

This passage highlights the severe consequences of leading people into sin. As a leader, your actions influence those around you, and if you’re leading people astray, it can result in devastating spiritual and physical consequences. Therefore, you must examine your life and your leadership to ensure you’re guiding others toward God, not away from Him.

Call to Repentance: Choosing Life Over Death

The story of King Jehoram also serves as a stark warning. If you are leading yourself or others in a way that goes against God’s will, it will lead to destruction. In contrast, when you align your life with God’s purpose and repent from sin, you invite His grace, forgiveness, and direction.

In Ezekiel 18:30-32, God calls His people to repentance:
30 “Therefore, I will judge each of you, Israel, according to your own ways, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, people of Israel? 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!”

This is God’s invitation to choose life over death. Repentance means turning away from sin and aligning your life with God’s will, ensuring that you are fulfilling His purpose and not walking down a path that leads to destruction.

Conclusion: Moving Forward with Purpose

In conclusion, the dream of driving a car can symbolize your journey in life and the leadership you hold in guiding yourself and others. It’s a call to action, to pursue God’s purpose with urgency, but also with careful obedience to His instructions. The dream also serves as a reminder that when you lead others, you must do so with righteousness, ensuring you don’t lead them into sin.

If you’re still in sin, this is a call for repentance. Turn away from the path of death and embrace the life God offers, aligning your actions with His will. In doing so, you will drive your life in the right direction, fulfilling God’s purpose and avoiding the snares of the enemy.

Be blessed.

RISING ABOVE

For something or someone to rise, it must first overcome the forces that pull it down. This concept is consistent with spiritual truth, where the ability to ascend reflects overcoming spiritual obstacles. In the physical world, things that fly, like birds, tend to move faster and see farther than those that walk. Similarly, in dreams, when you see yourself flying, you often feel light and empowered, in contrast to other types of dreams. The act of flying symbolizes a higher state or accomplishment.

Dreams about flying can come from two sources. The first is the enemy. In

John 10:10,

Jesus says, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (NIV).

This passage highlights that the enemy’s goal is to cause distress and deception, which can be reflected in dreams. If you dream of flying with strangers, heading to unfamiliar or terrifying places, and upon waking up you feel anxious, fearful, or uneasy, this could be a sign that the dream originates from the enemy. Such dreams often lead to a sense of confusion or unease. If you are a Christian, the Bible encourages you to rebuke such dreams immediately. In the name of Jesus, you can break free from these negative experiences. Jesus assures us of His authority over darkness in

Luke 10:19,

where He says, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you” (NIV). As a believer, you are empowered to overcome.

However, if you dream about flying in normal, peaceful settings—such as your home, or even unfamiliar but natural places—and you feel capable of flying far, such as soaring to the moon, and the dream repeats itself with no negative feelings upon waking, it is likely a message from God. In such dreams, God may be showing you His intention to elevate you spiritually, indicating a call to grow or rise to a new level of faith. The Bible often speaks of God’s desire to lift His people up spiritually and physically.

Psalm 103:5 says, ”

Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (NIV).

This verse illustrates God’s ability to restore and elevate His people, just as the eagle rises to great heights. Dreams about flying in this context symbolize God’s lifting of your spirit and purpose.

Now, if you are outside of Jesus Christ, God is warning you that your happiness and success are only temporary. While you may experience success in life—perhaps through material gains, education, or personal progress—without Christ, this success will not last eternally. Jesus cautions about the fleeting nature of worldly success in

Matthew 6:19-20:

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal” (NIV).

When you dream of flying, it can represent a sense of success, but it also carries a warning about the temporary nature of worldly achievements. In

Job 20:4-8,

we are reminded of the brevity of the wicked’s joy and success:
“Do you not know this from ancient times,
ever since mankind was placed on the earth,
5 that the joy of the wicked is brief,
and the happiness of the godless is fleeting,
6 though they rise to the heavens and their heads reach the clouds,
7 they will perish forever, like their own refuse;
those who see them will ask,
‘Where are they?’
8 They will vanish like a dream, never to be found,
like a vision of the night” (NIV).

The fleeting nature of success in a life disconnected from God is a warning that should lead us to repentance. Jesus asks in

Matthew 16:26,

“What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” (NIV).

If you find yourself involved in illegal or sinful activities—such as selling alcohol, drugs, corruption, or witchcraft—it’s time to repent and turn back to God. Only in Christ can true, lasting fulfillment be found.

On the other hand, if you are in Christ, God is encouraging you to focus more on Him. He has a greater plan for your life, and He is preparing to bless you with heavenly gifts. In

James 1:17,we read,

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows” (NIV).

All true blessings come from God, and He desires to give you even more. Your success is not just for this life but for eternity.

Psalm 68:18 says,

“You ascended on high,
you took many captives;
you received gifts from people,
even from the rebellious,
that the Lord God might dwell there” (NIV).

God has a plan for you to rise spiritually. Don’t focus on the temporary struggles or setbacks around you, but instead, seek God diligently. The apostle Paul encourages us in

Philippians 3:13-14:

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” (NIV).

As you press forward in faith, know that your ascent does not end here on earth but will one day reach heaven. Just as Christ ascended to the Father in

Acts 1:9-11,

where He was taken up before His disciples, we too have an appointed time when we will rise to meet Him. That day will be the day of the Rapture, as described in

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17:

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever” (NIV).

So, keep moving forward in faith, pressing toward the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Strengthen yourself in the Lord. The day is coming when we will meet Jesus in the sky. Maranatha—”Come, Lord Jesus!”

Be blessed!

DREAMING THAT YOU ARE CARRYING A BABY

Not every dream we have comes from God or the devil. In fact, many dreams are simply the result of our thoughts, emotions, or daily activities. Understanding this helps us avoid misinterpreting ordinary dreams as spiritual messages.

For instance, if you’re a bus conductor, it’s quite normal to dream about being in a bus or calling passengers, because that’s what you do daily. Similarly, a farmer may dream about fields, crops, or farm work. These dreams don’t carry deep spiritual meaning—they’re just the brain replaying daily life.

The Bible acknowledges this kind of dream activity.
Ecclesiastes 5:3 (NIV) says:

“A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool.”

This verse suggests that busyness, stress, or overthinking during the day can lead to dreams at night. The more your mind is preoccupied, the more likely you are to dream about those things.

Physical conditions also affect what we dream. If you sleep while hungry or needing to use the bathroom, your dreams may reflect those physical needs.

Isaiah 29:8 (NIV) illustrates this:

“As when a hungry person dreams of eating but wakes up hungry still, or as when a thirsty person dreams of drinking but wakes faint and thirsty still—so will it be with the hordes of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion.”

This shows that not all dreams reflect spiritual truth. Just as hunger or thirst can influence a dream, our physical state can shape what we see in our sleep.

So, we should not give spiritual meaning to every dream. Many dreams are natural and don’t require interpretation. Don’t be quick to assume every dream is from God or the devil. Some dreams are simply mental or physical responses.

However, if a dream is persistent, unusual, or deeply troubling, and doesn’t seem connected to your everyday life or physical condition, it may have spiritual significance. In such cases, you need to pray for understanding and discernment.

Now let’s talk about the specific dream of carrying a baby:

In spiritual symbolism, carrying a baby often represents responsibility, growth, or a new assignment from God. If you’re in Christ, this kind of dream may indicate that God is preparing you for a new task or ministry—something that will require care, maturity, and spiritual nurturing.

Babies in dreams can represent something fragile but important—like a calling, a gift, or even people God has placed under your care. God may be showing you that He’s trusting you with something valuable, just as a baby requires attention and love to grow.

Think of Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was entrusted with the greatest assignment of all—to carry and care for the Messiah.
Matthew 2:13–15 (NIV) tells us:

“When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt…’ So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt.”

Mary and Joseph obeyed God’s direction, even when it was difficult, because they had been given a divine responsibility.

So if you’re dreaming of carrying a baby and you’re walking with Christ, it may be a sign that God is calling you to a new level of responsibility—perhaps in ministry, family, or another area. Don’t complain or fear the burden. Instead, grow closer to God and rely on Him to help you carry what He’s given you. That responsibility may come with challenges, but it will also lead to spiritual maturity.

On the other hand, if you’re not walking with Christ and you dream of carrying a baby, it might be a warning. You could be taking on a burden or responsibility that is not from God and may lead to harm or regret in the future.

If the baby in your dream is strange, sickly, or causing you distress, it could symbolize a spiritual burden or demonic oppression. For example, it may represent something in your life that is draining you emotionally or spiritually—something not meant for you to carry. In this case, prayer and spiritual warfare are necessary. Ask God to reveal any open doors in your life and close them.

Similarly, if you dream that you’re carrying a coffin or a dead body, that’s a serious warning. It may represent self-destruction or spiritual death. It could be a call to examine your life, repent, and return to God.

In summary:

  • Not all dreams are spiritual; some are simply natural.

  • If a dream is repeated or troubling, it may carry a message from God.

  • Carrying a baby in a dream can symbolize responsibility or a divine assignment.

  • Always seek God in prayer to discern the meaning.

  • Align your life with Christ, so that you’re prepared for whatever God entrusts you with.

May the Lord bless you and give you clarity in every area of your life.

Dreaming of Being Chased

Dreams of being chased are spiritually significant and are often messages from the enemy. Whether you are being chased by people, snakes, lions, elephants, or even a mad person, these dreams symbolize a deeper spiritual issue. In Scripture, being pursued or hunted is often a sign of weakness or vulnerability in the spiritual realm.

When we look at animals in the wild, for instance, a lion chases a gazelle because the gazelle is weak and vulnerable. The same principle applies in the spiritual world: something weak or spiritually defenseless is more likely to be pursued by the enemy. In contrast, strong and courageous animals rarely flee, because they know their strength and authority. This reflects the confidence and boldness that believers are called to have in Christ.

So, if you find yourself being chased in a dream, it indicates that you may be spiritually weak or vulnerable. This could mean you are living outside of the protection and authority of Christ. Even if you are in Christ, you might not fully understand the power and authority He has given you, which can lead to spiritual vulnerability. This may also be due to a lack of spiritual maturity, neglecting your relationship with God, or not using the authority Christ gives His followers.

Proverbs 28:1 (NKJV)
“The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.”

This verse contrasts the fear of the wicked with the boldness of the righteous. The wicked flee even when no one is chasing them because they are spiritually exposed and weak. But those who are righteous—those who are in right standing with God—are bold, strong, and unafraid, like a lion. As Christians, we are called to stand firm in our faith and not live in fear or weakness. If you are experiencing dreams of being chased, it may be time to examine your spiritual condition. Are you walking in full confidence of your position in Christ?

Ephesians 6:10-11 (NIV)
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

This passage reminds us that our strength comes from the Lord, not from ourselves. When we are strong in God’s power and equipped with His armor, we can stand firm against the enemy’s attacks. If you are running away in your dreams, it may reflect a lack of spiritual armor or a failure to recognize the authority you have in Christ.

If you haven’t yet committed your life to Christ, this is the time to do so. Repent and be baptized by full immersion in water, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins (Acts 2:38). Baptism is not just a ritual; it is a public declaration of faith and a spiritual act that cleanses us from sin and connects us to the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.

Romans 6:4 (NIV)
“We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”

If you are already a believer but have been struggling, this is the moment to stand firm. It’s time to recognize who you are in Christ and what He has equipped you with. Start studying the Bible diligently to learn more about God’s will for your life and His promises. Seek out a Spirit-filled church where you can grow in the knowledge of God’s Word.

2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)
“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”

When we know Christ and His Word, we are equipped with everything we need to live a godly life and stand firm against the attacks of the enemy. God’s power enables us to live out our faith boldly, not in fear.

One day, instead of running from the enemy, you will stand in victory, using the authority that Christ has given you to chase away the devil. You will take your position in the Kingdom of God and live out your purpose as a conqueror.

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NIV)
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

As believers, we fight spiritual battles with divine weapons—prayer, faith, the Word of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit. These weapons have the power to tear down strongholds in our lives, whether they are mental, emotional, or spiritual. Don’t ignore dreams of being chased; they may be a warning that the enemy is trying to weaken your spiritual foundation.

James 4:7 (NIV)
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

This verse assures us that when we submit to God and resist the devil, he will flee. By standing firm in God’s Word and using the authority we have in Christ, we can overcome the enemy’s schemes.

Blessings.

Dreaming of Taking an Exam: A Spiritual Reflection

Many people experience recurring dreams of taking an exam, and these dreams often take different forms. In some cases, people dream they are about to take an exam but realize they haven’t prepared. They find themselves caught off guard and wonder where the time went. In other instances, they may be facing a difficult test, while others seem to know what to do, leaving the dreamer feeling unprepared and lost.

Some dream they’ve dropped out of school, and upon returning, they find that time has passed and the final exams are approaching. Others dream that they are forced to repeat a grade they’ve already completed and must get through it to move forward. Some people even dream they are sitting in a class, being taught, or facing punishment. The common thread in all these dreams is that they take place in a school setting.

These dreams can be troubling, and they often repeat—sometimes weekly, other times monthly, or even after several months. Regardless of the time frame, they are recurring, and their emotional impact can be significant. But what do these dreams mean?

The Biblical Perspective

The Bible provides insight into the significance of dreams and God’s messages. In Job 33:14-15, it is written:

Job 33:14 “For God speaks once, yes, twice, yet man does not perceive it.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds;”

This passage reminds us that God often uses dreams to communicate with us. While we may overlook or misunderstand God’s messages, He continues to speak in various ways, including through dreams. God’s purpose is always to guide us, reveal our spiritual condition, and direct our paths according to His will.

The Symbolism of Education in Dreams

In these recurring dreams about exams, there may be a deeper, spiritual message. Dreams about being unprepared for an exam or facing overwhelming difficulty often reflect the state of our spiritual lives. In 1 Corinthians 3:2, Paul writes:

1 Corinthians 3:2 “

I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able.”

Paul uses this metaphor of feeding milk instead of solid food to describe spiritual immaturity. Similarly, the dreams about exams could be God’s way of showing us that we are spiritually unprepared. Just as a student must study and learn to pass exams, so too must we grow in our spiritual knowledge and relationship with God.

The Bible speaks of the importance of spiritual growth and preparation. In Hebrews 5:12-14, the writer encourages believers to mature in their faith:

Hebrews 5:12-14 “

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

This passage underscores the necessity of progressing beyond the basics of the faith, growing in knowledge and maturity. Spiritual growth isn’t automatic; it requires intentional effort. If you are stuck spiritually, like a student who hasn’t passed the earlier grades, you can’t move on to more advanced levels of understanding.

The Call to Spiritual Diligence

God desires for us to be prepared in every aspect of our lives, including our spiritual lives. In 2 Peter 1:5-8, we are encouraged to grow in virtue and spiritual maturity:

2 Peter 1:5-8 “

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

This passage teaches that spiritual growth requires intentional effort, adding one quality to another. If we neglect to pursue these qualities, we will remain spiritually immature, much like a student who has failed to study and prepare for their exams.

Seeking God’s Kingdom First

If you find yourself in spiritual stagnation or struggling with the sense of being unprepared, it’s time to refocus and seek God’s kingdom more earnestly. Jesus gives us clear direction in Matthew 6:33:

Matthew 6:33

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

This verse emphasizes that spiritual preparedness and maturity begin with prioritizing God’s kingdom and righteousness. God wants us to seek His will, His Word, and His presence above all else. When we do this, He promises to meet our needs and help us grow.

God’s Love and Guidance Through Dreams

God’s use of dreams, including those of exams, is not merely to unsettle or disturb us but to lovingly guide us toward spiritual maturity. These dreams may serve as a wake-up call, prompting us to examine our spiritual state and recognize areas where we need to grow. In Revelation 3:19, Jesus says:

Revelation 3:19 “

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.”

God disciplines those He loves, not to condemn us, but to correct and refine us. If you are experiencing such dreams, it could be a divine nudge to draw closer to God and deepen your relationship with Him.

The Path to Spiritual Growth

In response to these dreams, it is crucial to increase your efforts in seeking God. Here are some practical steps to take:

  1. Increase Your Prayer Life – Spend more time in conversation with God. Prayer is a vital part of your spiritual growth.

  2. Study God’s Word – Delve into Scripture and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into deeper understanding.

  3. Live a Life That Pleases God – Align your actions with God’s will, seeking to honor Him in all that you do.

  4. Limit Worldly Distractions – Spend less time focusing on things that pull you away from God’s purpose for your life.

  5. Seek God’s Presence – Make God your priority, spending time in His presence through worship, meditation, and service.

Conclusion

The dreams you experience about exams may be God’s way of showing you areas in your spiritual life that need attention. As you grow in knowledge, understanding, and holiness, God will guide you to new levels of maturity. Remember, God’s desire for you is to move forward, not to stay stuck in the past. As you seek Him and increase your efforts to grow spiritually, He will take you to the next level.

Be encouraged, for God’s love and discipline are meant to shape you into the person He has called you to be. Seek first His kingdom, and you will see the fruit of your efforts.

Be blessed

DREAMING ABOUT TRAVELING

Before rushing to interpret your dreams, it’s important to first gain understanding about the different types of dreams. When you know what category your dream falls into, you can more easily interpret it on your own, without necessarily needing the help of others. This understanding is key because dreams can hold spiritual significance.

If your dream isn’t simply related to your daily life or the environment around you, and it recurs frequently, it may be that God is trying to communicate something to you. Dreams can be a form of divine revelation. The Bible teaches us that God speaks in dreams, and we should pay attention to them when they seem to carry meaning beyond mere subconscious processing.

Job 33:14-16 (NIV) says, “

For God speaks in one way, and in two, though man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction.”

Here, Job is emphasizing that God speaks to us in dreams, often when we are least distracted and in a deep state of rest. The recurring theme in scripture is that God uses dreams and visions to give direction, warning, or encouragement.

Through this, God is reminding you that your time on earth is temporary. You are on a journey, and everything you encounter here should be seen in that context—nothing in this world is meant to last forever. This life is but a passing moment in light of eternity, and God often uses dreams to shift our perspective.

Consider that, on a journey, even when you stop to rest, eat, or refresh yourself, it’s brief—perhaps only 10 to 15 minutes. Then the journey continues. The idea is that life moves forward, and dwelling too long on distractions or stopping at a particular point can cause you to miss your destination. Similarly, you cannot afford to become too attached to the temporary things of this world. To do so is to neglect the ongoing journey of your spiritual walk with God. This is the message God imparts to us: do not get sidetracked by worldly things that will soon fade away.

Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV) further underscores this: “

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

God is essentially teaching you through these dreams not to focus too much on earthly pursuits that distract us from His eternal plan. We are reminded that we are pilgrims on this earth, not to set our hearts too firmly on the things that will soon pass away.

Isaiah 35:8 (NIV)

also speaks to this journey: “

And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean will not travel on it; it will be for those who walk in that way; the wicked fools will not go about on it.”

This “Way of Holiness” is a spiritual journey, a path that leads to eternal life. It’s for the righteous—those who walk in the ways of God. As believers, we are called to walk this path, understanding that the journey may be difficult but it leads to eternal rewards.

Reflecting on your own life, ask yourself: What is driving you? Is it the busyness of the world, keeping you from spending time with God? Is it the desire for material wealth or pleasure? Scripture warns us against these distractions.

1 John 2:15-17 (NIV) says, “

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.”

And in 1 Peter 2:11-12 (NIV), “

Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.”

This passage highlights that as believers, we are called to live as “foreigners and exiles”—reminding us that this world is not our home. We must focus on living a righteous life, which reflects our eternal citizenship in heaven, rather than getting caught up in worldly temptations.

God is showing you these dreams because He loves you and wants to guide you on your journey. Don’t ignore His voice. If you’re distant from Jesus, now is the time to draw near to Him. Repent of your sins, surrender your life to Him, and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins, as commanded in Acts 2:38. When you do this, God will give you the Holy Spirit to help you along your journey, and you will be certain of your eternal security.

John 14:6 (NIV) says, “

Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

Jesus is the only way to the Father, and He alone will guide you on your spiritual journey.

If you’re already in Christ and feel you lack nothing, know that God still wants you to focus on your spiritual journey more than anything else. He has prepared a great reward for those who remain faithful, and this reward is eternal. In 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV), Paul speaks of the reward awaiting those who remain faithful: “

2 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV),

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing.”

Be encouraged, and remember that this earthly life is temporary. Stay focused on the journey ahead and the eternal reward God has prepared for you.

Be blessed

“A DREAM ABOUT PREGNANCY”

 

If you lack a clear understanding of dreams, you may unintentionally stray from God’s purpose for your life. Many people wander from one interpretation to another, looking for answers, but it’s crucial to recognize that all dreams ultimately fall into one of three categories:

  1. Dreams from God

  2. Dreams from Satan

  3. Dreams from our own thoughts and experiences

Dreams that arise from our own minds are influenced by what we experience daily, the environment we are in, and the things we think about constantly. These dreams make up the majority of our nightly visions—about 95% of the dreams we have. These dreams usually don’t carry a deep spiritual message, but many people, lacking understanding, seek interpretations for every dream. The Bible teaches that not every dream has divine significance.

Ecclesiastes 5:3 says,

“For a dream comes with much business and a fool’s voice with many words.”

This verse implies that most dreams stem from our daily concerns and are not necessarily from God.

Once you understand how to categorize dreams, interpreting them will be much easier. I encourage you to first grasp this principle, and then we can proceed with deeper understanding.

>> HOW CAN I TELL IF A DREAM IS FROM GOD OR SATAN?

When it comes to dreaming about pregnancy, if the dream doesn’t arise from your daily activities, thoughts, or environment, it might hold deeper meaning. It’s important to remember that dreams about pregnancy are particularly common among women, given that many women long for children. The desire for motherhood or living with a pregnant person can easily influence dreams, making them more likely to be connected to personal thoughts rather than divine messages.

James 1:14-15 tells us, “

But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”

This reminds us that many dreams reflect our own desires and thoughts, not necessarily a divine message.

However, if the dream doesn’t seem to stem from these personal sources, it could be significant. In the Bible, pregnancy often symbolizes the conception of something new—whether a divine calling, purpose, or judgment.

Pregnancy, whether it comes through righteous or sinful means, always leads to the birth of something new. The Bible speaks to this idea in Isaiah 66:9, where God says, “Shall I bring to the point of birth and not cause to bring forth?” This demonstrates that when God allows something to be conceived, it will ultimately come to fruition.

If your dream is recurring, pay close attention to it. In Scripture, repeating dreams were often significant. For example, Pharaoh had two dreams that were similar in nature but different in form—one about seven years of plenty and the other about seven years of famine. The Bible says in Genesis 41:32, “And the doubling of Pharaoh’s dream means that the thing is fixed by God, and God will shortly bring it about.” This repetition confirmed that the dream was from God and was meant to be heeded.

Similarly, if you repeatedly dream of being pregnant, it could be a divine message urging you to pay attention to what is about to come to fruition in your life.

What Should You Do?

Since you know your own life better than anyone else, spend some quiet time in prayer and reflection. Consider where you are in life—whether in your ministry, family, or career. Have you recently made a decision that might soon bear fruit? Is there something you have been waiting for or praying about?

If you’ve been praying to God for something, trust that He will answer.

In Romans 4:18-19, it says of Abraham,

“In hope, he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb.”

Even when the situation seemed impossible, Abraham remained hopeful. Like him, if you are trusting God for something, keep your faith in His timing and plan.

Consider also the example of Sarah, who waited long for the fulfillment of God’s promise.

In Genesis 18:14, God asks her,

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?”

This verse reassures us that God can bring about what seems impossible at the appointed time.

But if you are living in sin and your actions are not aligned with God’s will, you should take this time to repent. The Bible teaches that sin can bring forth destructive results. In Proverbs 1:31, it says,

“Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.”

If you are living in ways that are displeasing to God, the consequences of sin will eventually come to light, just as pregnancy ultimately leads to birth.

James 1:15 reminds us that sin, when fully conceived, brings forth death. If you are living in sin, take time to repent and return to God

. 1 John 1:9 assures us,

if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Conclusion

If you are walking in righteousness and have been waiting on God for a good thing, stay hopeful. Trust that God will bring forth the fruit of your prayers in due season.

The Bible assures us in Galatians 6:9, “

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”

Stay in faith and expect God’s blessings to manifest in your life.

Blessings to you
