Don’t Joke with Your Dreams

“In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, in order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man. He keeps back his soul from the Pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.” — Job 33:15–18 (NKJV)

Recently, I heard about a young man who passed away in an accident that wasn’t particularly serious—and yet, he was the only one who died. Months before the incident, he kept having dreams of seeing himself in a casket. He told his friends, but they would just joke about it and shrug it off. The dream came repeatedly, but he did nothing about it—until that fateful day.

There was also a woman who posted on social media, standing at the grave of her husband. In her caption, she wrote that she had seen his death in a dream a few days before it happened, but she didn’t give it much attention. Another young man saw himself being shot in a dream. I told him to pray because that could indicate a health attack or impending sickness. He ignored the warning—and within days, he fell sick.

I could go on and on, but my point is this: dreams matter. And the earlier you take your dream life seriously, the better.

Over the years, I’ve met many people who dismiss their dreams, saying, “I don’t believe in that.” But this is often a lie the devil plants to keep people in ignorance. Your dreams are not to be ignored. They are one of the primary ways God communicates with you—revealing things happening in the spiritual realm that may not be visible to your physical eyes.

The Bible says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever…” — Deuteronomy 29:29 (NKJV). Did you catch that? Once God reveals something to you, it becomes your responsibility. He showed it to you so that you can act on it.

So the next time you have a troubling or unusual dream, don’t ignore it. Write it down. Pray about it. Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding, and if you’re still unsure, speak to your pastor or someone spiritually mature who can help you interpret it and give you guidance.

But whatever you do—don’t do nothing.
