Dream- Satan-Help
I read a post that said
"The first time I saw Satan in my dream, he came seeking my help"
This sounds like a joke anyways.
But many persons have shared dream(s) and sought advice on what to do. Some people will even asked "what is the meaning of this dream" ohh daaaah Joseph the dreamer.
I do not reject dreams. I just refuse to make every dream a prophecy. My faith rests in Christ, not in dreams.
So when I read the post, curiosity made me pondered thus "Can Satan ask someone for help? What sort of help could that be? Did the dreamer really helped Satan?
"In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son." Hebrews 1:1–2
This does not mean God can no longer speak through dreams. He certainly can. Even in the New Testament, St. Joseph received divine messages through dreams (Matthew 1:20; 2:13, 19–20), and the Magi were warned in a dream not to go back to Herod (Matthew 2:12).
The difference is this, dreams are no longer the primary or normative way God guides His Church. Christ Himself is the fullness of God's revelation.
For me, every dream must be tested using scripture, the teachings of the Church, and discernment.
We do not build our faith on dreams. We build our faith on Jesus Christ, whose truth is handed on through Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church.
I believe that God can speak through dreams. The Bible contains some examples: Joseph, the husband of Mary (Matthew 1:20; 2:13), Joseph, the son of Jacob (Genesis 37), and Daniel (Daniel 2).
But not every dream has a spiritual origin, many dreams are products of our thoughts, emotions, fears, memories, or daily experiences (Ecclesiastes 5:3).
Not every dream equals divine revelation, public revelation was completed in Jesus Christ. St. John advises us: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits" (1 John 4:1).
God primarily speaks through His Word(Jesus Christ), the Church, the Sacraments, prayer, and a well-formed conscience.
Dreams may occasionally confirm God's will, directives but they are not the ordinary means by which God guides and saves His people.
If a dream drives you away from God, causes panic, or encourages actions contrary to the Gospel, it should not be accepted as God's voice.
Discernment is essential. Even when a dream seems significant, it should be prayerfully discerned and, where necessary, discussed with a wise spiritual director or priest.
I do not reject dreams. I just refuse to make every dream a prophecy.
My faith rests in Christ, not in dreams. A Christian should be guided first by the Word of God, the teachings of the Church, and a life of prayer not by dreams.
