Do you think a person/their soul knows or can predict when and how they're going to die?

Question

Lately I've had a few dreams that have added up together.. I won't go into details.. But do you think it's possible for someone to know when and how they're going to die?

I'm not baptised - but I believe - I'm scared 'cause I don't want God to think I don't believe in HIM 'cause I do..

Only serious answers please.. I don't have time for individuals who are trying to be rude.

Each day I wake up my stomach is sick.. My head hurts 'cause I feel lost. Like I said, I'm not "saved/baptised" to a certain religion..

I've never been taught about God - but I do believe 'cause I've seen my own sign from him..

I feel alone and scared and I feel like I'm facing everything alone. Where is God, where is Jesus when I cry? Where are they when I hurt inside? Where are they when I am dying inside because of all the pain? Where are they when my eyes dull down because of all the tears I cry? Why do they not help me?

Everything has been against me since I was born. No mother, no father (drug addiction) --- no love, attention, friends --- Why does God hate me so much?

Thanks to all who answer in a respectful way.. The other day I told my mom I needed to be baptised 'cause I knew I was going to die soon. I'm not crazy - I've had dreams, I feel it in my gut, my soul.

Answer 1

Some people think so, but it can't be scientifically proved... I once had a dream my mother in law would die the next day at 1:10pm, and she actually did...but it may have been luck, we knew she was sick...

Answer 2

First, it's awesome that you're getting baptised...just make sure you're doing it only as an outward testimony that you do believe in God. Now religion is retarded and has gone so far away from the thruth of the Bible it's ridiculous. I am a believe but I am not tied to any religion. I am a born again Christian and I follow Christ...not man.

Second...in everything in your life...God has always been there. He has always been the one to wipe your tears, to give you the strength to finish each and every day, to wake you up each day to the beauty of the world he created even if it's only the soft rustling of your hair from a gently breeze. God is everything and is in everything. There is never a second of your life that He hasn't been there.

I had a rough life growing up too. Alcoholic abusive dad, really bad abusive boyfriends...you name it I've been there. And so has God...with it all. When I cried, He cried. I had never noticed it before I got saved. All I could was cry out, "God where are you???" I never realized He was there all along.

God is calling you right now. He wants to heal your heart and to show you that He is your one true Father...the one that will never hurt you, that will NEVER leave you nor forsake you, who will never judge you. He will lift you up and carry you through the storms of your life. He will discipline you when you do wrong, but with more love than you can ever imagine. He will fight your battles for you, and trust me, He will win!!

The dreams you're having are somewhat like the dreams my dh had before he got saved. He knew when he was going to die, but it wasn't a physical death...it was a spiritual death. He died to self to live for Christ. Since he did that he has had no other dreams about dying or when and how it may happen. Always remember that are two kinds of death in this life...the two I mentioned above. If you feel like you're about to die and you really feel God calling you, it's time to finally accept Jesus as your Savior and live the freedom He has waiting for you.

I think some people know when their time is drawing near. I also think though... that sometimes Our brain can get stuck on a particular thought and maybe get a little compulsive about it. Especially if it is a very real fear we have. Do you know what i mean? I am really afraid of snakes.. to the point I could have a heart attack...seriously. I had yucky dreams bout' them for a long time and then they'd go away and come back. In the summer it's worse cuz that's when the snakes come out. Think you might be obsessing about a dream or thought that keeps popping into your head. And God knows your heart so don't worry about that! Why don't you find some Missionary's and get baptized? Maybe your thoughts are prompting you to go that direction? God has a plan for everything and maybe this is his way of telling you it's time to get baptized? Pray about it...he will answer you. Sorry about the snake thing shared too much!

Answer 4

I believe that people can sense that they may die soon. But not always. You asked where was God when you cried, were in pain and so very sad. God was there with you --- feeling your pain and waiting for you to ask him into your heart and your life. Remember, softly and gently Jesus is calling --"Oh sinner come home." When you truly give Him your burdens and your cares, He will handle the problems in the manner that is best for you. Being baptised alone will not assure you a place in heaven. It is symbolic of washing away your sins and starting your life anew without sin. That is when you are given a clean slate and do your best to follow Jesus's example. You still have to ask for forgiveness when you do wrong things. But accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, being baptised should be done because that is truly what you believe and want -- not to "save" yourself. It has to be a sincere act.

ps Maybe the dreams are God's way of getting your attention that you need to get your life straight -- not foretelling your death, but maybe the death (end) of your sins.

God Bless and keep you safe from harm.

Answer 5

I dont know when I'm going to die... but Ive always just felt like it would be in a car wreck. That's why I choose not to drive and I avoid being in vehicles as much as possible.... which is hard sometimes.

Ive felt this way since I was 12 years old. At that time I hadn't been in any car accidents. I am 27 now and I have been in 11. Only one was with me driving and that was when I was 15. Only one was the fault of the person driving the vehicle I was in. So, yes.... I believe that sometimes people can just know.

Answer 6

well the soul basically means our physical body... (not quite that simple) and no it cant. the only way that it can be done is through God. it can be done but it is very unlikely. i myself used to have dreams where i always ended up falling from a great distance. if that is how i am to die then there is nothing that can be dont to prevent it.

on another note you really should really be baptised, the bible is very clear that you cannot enter the kingdom of god unless you are baptised. not that is the only thing you must do but it is the beginning.
the book of acts i believe tells a bit about being baptised

Answer 7

You may be having dreams from Satan, he can do that, you need not to pay any attention to them, and they will go away
Only God knows when you will die,
Satan is trying to put fear into you, because you do believe.
Just pray to God, in the Name of Jesus
ask him to come into your heart and live inside of you, cleanse and make you whole
don't worry about baptism now, that is the second work, the first is most important
You will feel like something on the inside went out of you, and you will feel happy and free.
Don't carry all that stuff alone, you need Jesus and he will bear all your pain and love you as you have never been loved before...
Blessings to you...........

Answer 8

You asked; "Does a person know or can they predict when and how they are going to die." My answer is no.

You said that you feel sick and lost and like you are not saved to a certain religion.

Let me say to you that religion is man's way of trying to please their god with rituals, rules and laws.

Jesus is God's way of reaching down to man with love, grace and forgiveness.

Jesus is not a religion. He is a relationship.

You can't do anything good enough or religious enough to satisfy what He wants of us. He wants us to accept His Son Jesus as our Lord and Savior and repent which means to turn away from our sins.

We have all sinned and have a sin nature because of Adam's disobedience to God. This can be found in Genesis in the Bible.

You asked; "Where is God, where is Jesus when I cry? Where are they when I hurt inside" Where are they when I am dying inside because of all the pain? Where are they when my eyes dull down because of all the tears I cry" Why do they not help me?"

Jesus once lived here on this earth. He is now alive in Heaven with God. When He left to be with God, He told Christians to follow what He did, love others and do His work here on the earth.

Christians are here for you to help you with your problems. We are here for each other. You must reach out to us. Go to a place of worship. Get to know those people. Let them help you and you help them. That is what Christianity is about.

Read the Bible for help. It is God's written Word. Jesus tells us that God's perfect love casts out fear.

Go and become involved with a church group in your community. Be baptized. And most of all PRAY. God hears you and loves you.

Answer 9

I personally believe with all my heart that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit knew when you would be born, so then you can assume that they knew the time of your going home. Jesus taught over and over again that ' Ye must be Born-Again ' of the Spirit, and be Baptized ( from the Greek word, Baptismo, which means ' under water', not sprinkled or what-ever. Even Jesus told John, the son of Elizabeth, cousin to Mary, the Virgin Mother of Jesus, that He must Baptize Him , and after he immersed Him under water, the Dove flew away, and God said that it was good. Lucifer, High Angel in Heaven, even now, believes in God, it's those of us whom ' Believe God ' that will be good disciples . God Bless you and America !!

Answer 10

How much do you believe in God because he already knows you can be save it is something between you and him you don't nessisarily have to be baptised to go to heaven but it is good if you can, my dad i fell in my heart know he was going to die because of some of the things he did before he die and my mother the same thing they started doing things to prepare for it. We live in Kentucky and we move here in 1969 and dad went back to were we moved from in Michigan he went back him and my sister and she said he went back to make ammends to people he had hurt while he lived up there.

Answer 11

God is not the author of fear. He does not scare those who are doing their best to believe in Him.

just because you dream of dying it doesnt mean that you will die.
but if you agree with your dreams then you are opening the door for it to more likely happen.

its your life. do you want to die?

matthew 11:25-30
psalm 23

if you are having bad dreams then you have met the enemy. those bad dreams are just his way of getting to you to try and scare you.

if you believe in God. then believe in Jesus - romans 10:9-10
believe in His sacrifice - john 3:16
and the shedding of His blood for you. - ephesians 1:7
and brought you into His jurisdiction - colossins 1:13

and given you the right to speak His name against the enemy. - ephesians 1:20-22
because Jesus has already defeated the devil. - colossians 2:13-15
so speaking the name of Jesus will make the devil go away and leave you alone.
"submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." - james 4:7

"to remain in the flesh is more necessary for (the sake of )" - philippians 1:24
"..a good future.." - proverbs 24:14
".. to finish the course.." - acts 20:24
".. and not be cut short.." ".. before the time" - psalm 90:10..
"The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years.."
no one but God has a right to set the years of your life.. and until you know different - other than by scary dreams - you should take no less than 70 years.


"the fear of the Lord prolongs life.. - proverbs 10:27

"the fear of the Lord leads to life, so that one may sleep satisfied and untouched by evil." - proverbs 19:23

the "fear of the Lord" is not being afraid of God.. but respecting Him and His word, and obeying it.
