See I get hurt when people dis God but it is like when I am not in church I dont believe like things will come on my head he idnt real yet I pray everynight and I LOVE christian songs. I get so confused. I be;ieve in doing right and going to church my life would be nothing withouht church. I am only 15 so maybe when I am older my beliefs will be stronger? HELP!

Also some of u think this was ALL in the dream it wasnt the dream stopped when God and the devil went to fight each other

Answer 1

I waited out of respect & it looks like you're not going to get the answer from the sources you wanted.

I hope you'll listen to a deeply religious non-Xian - I'll be resepctful here & hope this is returned.

Dreams are a mechanism to look at what you worry about.

It seems to me that you feel you are threatened by somethink you feel unconfortable about. It seems that you're automatical reaction is to turn to the familiar - being your faith.

It seems to me that you feel challanged within your faith BUT looking at the other comments you've made it seems that your faith is stronger than you think. AND I think you supplied an answer in your comments.

IF you are worried about what this dream means I suggest you talk to someone you feel confortable with. THis is not an issue of "bothering" someone because to any Youth Counciler (from your school or from your church) they are there to be "bothered".

Answer 2

A dream like that would scare anyone. It was only a dream. It was a very interesting dream. It sounds like you are struggling with something spiritual in your life or you feel as if you are fighting against evil. In a sense your dream is spiritual warfare you are probably fighting everyday.

You seem to already know God is right there. He will never leave you or forsake you. However, it says "He" will never leave you. You can not force Him away from you. If you have confessed Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead this will be true.

God loves you and will never let anything happen to you that he does not already know about or has a plan for it

Do not rely on your emotions. They will deceive you. The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it?

There is no fear in perfect love. Well, you would be unwise if you were not afraid if a lion was standing in front of you. Sometimes scripture is for the very most mature Christian and not always easy to practice. A very mature Christian might have enough perfect love to realize that if the Lord puts you in a dangerous position He will rescue you or bring you home. Either way you win.

It takes constant connection with the Lord for this to happen. Without the constant connection you might have it one day and not the next. Then get it back again.

The question is so hard to answer in such a short space.

Answer 3

When God attacks the devil, you will wake up. Then you can thank God you woke up.

You need to speak the Word of God against the devil. Are you reading the Word of God. Ephesians 6. Maybe this dream is a warning that you need to put your spiritual armor on.

Fear dreams are fearful. And the best thing to do is call the Name Jesus. Then you will wake up.

But the reality is that the demons are an enemy in your life right now. You need to know your authority in Christ. I recommend you to read all of Ephesians. Know your authority. Resist satans temtations. Temptations to be afraid or to disobey God. Submit to God by looking up to God. Giving God your full attention. Ask God why the devils are here. If you opened the door to it by watching a horror film or something. Or you were playing an occult board game or something. Or if you have occult material in the house. Etc. Etc... Then repent to God. Don't pay attention to the devil, fear or condemnation. Tell God your are sorry for disobeying God. Then love God & praise God &ask God what to do about this. Then the devil runs. The devil is very scared when you pay attention & obey God. So?


Also, you need to read Gods Word & find out who you are in Christ. You are a child of the King. You are a child of light and not of darkness. You are made the righteousness of Christ. You are joint heirs with Christ sharing His inheritance with Him. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. You are a Saint. See? Too often young teens don't renew their mind in the Word of God. It is written to renew our minds in the Word of God. This is washing in the Word. This is obeying God. This is being also renewed in the Spirit in praise & worship also. This is hearing & hearing the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing & hearing the Word of God. This is the way to mature in Christ. And every child of God is an enemy of the devil.

Another good thing to do is pray in the spirit building up your most holy faith. Pray first thing in the morning & read a Word in the bible & follow after the Spirit throughout the day.

This is a relationship restored to God through faith in Jesus Christ your Lord & Savior & who raised from the dead so you will some day raise up like Him.

And since you have a high calling in Christ Jesus, the devil will try to steal that from you. So? Kick the devils butt.

Answer 4

I'm not sure of the size of your church. I would start by talking to a qualified youth minister or Christian counsellor and talk about your troubles. It is likely, if you feel this way, that others in your youth will be feeling likewise, so talk to you\r youth leader about this. Also talk to your doctor; you could have depression or a problem with your hormones that could be causing very lucid dreams (this means dreams that seem very real, are easily remembered and leave a larger impact on you than normal dreams). God is there for you but this dream could also be God's way of telling you to be more active in your life. God is powerful but not even He can change the direction of your life if you don't start moving it yourself first, think of yourself like a car with God at the wheel. If your ignition is running and your moving down the street then God can change the direction you are headed easily, but it your engine is turned off and your parked in the driveway then God can't move you anywhere. You'll get through it but you need guidance closer to home (in church or somewhere similar).

God Bless, and my emails open if you need.

*edit*
I know you said you don't want to bother your youth leader with this but please do bother them with this. They won't mind one bit and hopefully they will also be able to find others who feel the same way you do and address this at the entire youth level. If you ignore this problem it won't disappear, you'll just cover it up and it could come back later.

Answer 5

future-celebrity-k......my advise to you is to take great pride in the fact that demons or the devil find you worthy of their attention as to try to confuse your path, you must be destined to one day doing great things. the reason you woke up when GOD took on the devil is because even in a dream the devil cannot defeat GOD. you have noting to fear from GOD and the devil didn't want you to see that.try praying as directed by JESUS in the sermon on the mountain from Matthew chapters 5 thru 7 by going into a closet ( or privet place) only think about what you want while reciting the Lords prayer and what you ask for in secret will be given to you openly. people don't understand this but your thoughts will be between you and GOD no nosy demons hearing what you are saying, take away their power, also if you believe demons are attacking you, use the name of CHRIST as a weapon, as " in the name of JESUS CHRIST" begone, or leave, and they will have to obey.you GOD is almighty even in a dream.

Answer 6

Often, when you feel closest to God is also the time when you also feel most vulnerable. You have made a decision based on faith and now you feel your faith is being attacked. You are vulnerable to people from the outside questioning your beliefs and placing doubts in your head as to why you would feel the way you do. But you will also notice, the people that question your faith are not the people who will stand by you when times are hard.

You are seeing that personal demons come in human form. They can be the people around you. If you stand firm, your faith will withstand the attacks. Then when you have defeated the lesser foes and you are forced to face your greatest foe, God will be there to help you.

Therefore, don't be scared, enjoy your dream as it appears you have come out on top

Answer 7

It is scary to know good, and that evil is all around us. Trust in God. You are on the right track. Keep going to Church. God gives you the strength to make it through anything you may have to face. Sounds like your dream is reaffirming that you are strong. Dont let evil enter your life, God will help you.

Here are some versus: "For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light" 2 Cor.11:14 He is deceptively, disguised, and his helpers do as well. So remember that evil can be in human form. "We will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word" Acts6:4 Keep praying! "A faithful man will abound with blessings" Prov28:20

"Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. " John 14:6 and "He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do because I go to My Father. And what ever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it." "But you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. " John 14:12-14,17

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever" Psalm 111:10 "You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is their help and their sheild." Psalm 116:11

"Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king" 1 Peter 2:17

I hope these help you. Stay strong in your faith.

Answer 8

Fear, worry, and doubt are tools of Satan.
They are NOT from Almighty God & Jesus Christ.

Jesus told us that our "fight" would not be against man, but against spiritual principlaties that are unseen. Your dream is one that most everyone has several times in their lives. Doubts, fears, and worries creep into our throughts during the day, will sometimes follow us into our dreams. I have felt as you, and a few times much worse, but during those "waking nightmares" I just call on Jesus and tell the disturbing visions and scary thoughts to be gone in the name of Jesus. And they always go.

Remember, too, at times, you can eat food that can give you weird dreams. At times, you can have such an adrenaline-charged experience that it stays with you while you sleep. Regardless, what it is that causes it, remember Jesus Christ promises to NEVER leave you and NEVER forsake you. If you have dreams that scare you and you wake up frightened, remember "demons tremble at the name of Jesus". Calling on Jesus to make the scary dreams or fears or worries disappear is always the best thing to do.

Did you know that Almighty God & Jesus Christ say "fear not"
365 times in the Old & New Testament? That is a word of wisdom/promise from Almighty God and Jesus Christ for each of us for EVERY day of the year.

Answer 9

First of all you shouldn't be fearing the Devil. He's not real. There was an angel and his accomplices that caused trouble in heaven, but that's all taken care of now.

Fear can be like a growing cancer and slowly it takes over your body and mind, if you let it. You have the power. Now empower yourself. You have God's divine light, use it.

God is within you, he never leaves. Pray for strength and guidance. He will answer. Stick to the path that is true and upright and you will be just fine. Talking this over with your youth pastor could really help you fell better about this.

Answer 10

Dreams are useful for what they tell us about what's going on subconsciously. It sounds like you're dealing with a real crisis of faith here. Maybe the demons represent that part of you that's having trouble believing, while God is the part that does believe, or that wants to believe. Or, heck, maybe it's the reverse. It's your psyche, after all, so you'd have a better idea than this random stranger here would.

It's really common to start questioning the beliefs you grew up with during your teenaged years. You're re-examining your faith right now, testing the waters, and figuring out if that is really part of who you are. It's definitely scary, especially since it's a religious question. You may come out of this with a stronger faith, you may come out realizing your ideas about God don't quite jive with what you grew up learning, or you may come out no longer believing in God. It's an important journey, though, as faith in God should be a personal matter, not one you're simply brought up with. I wish you luck on it. You'll be fine.
