Interpretation of Dreams and

Visions

It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the

glory of kings is to search out a matter (Proverbs
25:2).

God spoke to man since the beginning of time.

Adam walked with God in the beginning and God
spoke to him face to face. When Adam walked with
God in the garden, He taught him about creation
and the purpose for cultivating and maintaining it.
He also taught him about naming the animals and
his relationship with them. God did not speak to
him in parables because it was given to him to
know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. It
was the will of God for him to have all things and to
have it in abundance. In this they found great joy
and fulfillment as they flow in absolute divine
fellowship. As Adam abided in Christ His Creator
and do His will, he flowed with the life force of God;
he was totally alive to God always moving, vibrant
and overflowing with the Spirit of God, lacking in
nothing.

After sin entered into him and the discord of sin

entered his soul he lost his eternal life and divine
power because he was not only casted out of Eden
but, as a branch, was cut off from the Vine, Jesus
Christ his Creator. Because of disobedience his
heart grew dull, his ears hard of hearing and his
eyes closed so that he saw but did not perceive and
hear but did not understand.

After the fall of man at various times and in diverse

manners God spoke to the fathers by the prophets
to the sons of Adam. Since two thousand years ago
God spoke to them by His Son, whom He has
appointed heir of all things and through whom He
also made the worlds (Hebrews 1:1-2).

In the earlier Old Testament times, prophets were

called seers because the Holy Spirit enabled them
to see things in the spirit realm about mysteries
hidden in all time frames (past, present and future).
Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of
God, he spoke thus: “Come, let us go to the seer”;
for he that is now called a prophet was formerly
called a seer (1 Samuel 9:9).

Though many prophets of old had awesome dreams

and visions they did not perceive the times thereof
neither what it was about. They desired to see and
hear the things that the heirs of salvation see and
hear today; they see and hear it but did not
understand it. The Old Testament saints witnessed
the mighty works of God and understood that not to
themselves, but to us the heirs of salvation they
were ministering (1 Peter 1: 10-12). Those things
were types and shadows of heavenly things and
good things to come. God has veiled His wisdom in
plain sight from them. The wisdom of God is
revealed in that Jesus has become a surety of a
better covenant.

God’s language

Jesus, in His ministry, used symbolic language as

He taught by the parabolic method. Why is God
veiling the truth? All these things Jesus spoke to the
multitude in parables; and without a parable he did
not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the prophet, saying, “I will open My
mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret
from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 13:34-
35).

Since the fall of man God conceals truth in

parables, dreams and visions which need
interpretation to seal the understanding thereof to
the heart. The first biblical example is where
Joseph’s brothers interpreted Joseph’s dream about
their sheaves bowed down to his sheaf. Jacob
interpreted Joseph’s dream about the sun, moon
and eleven stars that bowed down to him (Joseph).
Joseph interpreted the butler’s, the baker’s and
Pharaoh’s dreams. A man interprets his
companion’s dream in the camp of Gideon about
the barley loaf that tumbled into the camp of
Midian. Daniel was the interpreter of dreams and
visions to some kings of Babylon (e.g. the vision of
King Belshazzar that saw part of a hand that wrote
him a message on the wall of his palace).

The prophecies of Ezekiel, Daniel and the Book of

Revelation written by John are expressed in
symbolic language. Why is God speaking in
parables? Why is He veiling His messages to some
and reveal it to others? And the disciples came and
said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in
parables?” He answered and said to them,
“Because it has been given to you to know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been given (Matthew 13: 10-11).

Interpretation of dreams and visions

In 1988 while my wife was pregnant with our son,

Oleg, my mother-in-law had a dream about her,
pushing a red pram with a child in it. She
interpreted the dream and indicated that she will
have a daughter. She believes that the color blue
represents a son and the color red represents a girl.
This is a traditional believe in Ukraine. My wife
believed her dream and interpretation. Just
thereafter my wife had a direct dream (no
interpretation required) that she will have a son
that will be born with black hair. Although our son is
blond today he was born with black hair just as she
had seen him in her dream. God gave her this
dream in response to a dream that was incorrectly
interpreted. Sometimes God imparts revelation
through dreams that require no interpretation.

Nevertheless, most dreams and visions are veiled

in symbolism and require interpretation. Then He
said, Hear now my words: If there is a prophet
among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him
in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with
My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. I
speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not
in dark sayings… (Numbers 12:6-8a, emphasis
added).

We found the first account of dream interpretation

in the Bible, in Genesis 37:8, where Joseph’s
brother’s interpreted his dream about their sheaves
bowed down to his. Jacob probably taught them
how to interpret dreams, which he must have
learned from his grandfather Abraham and father
Isaac. In the accounts of Joseph and Daniel we
found that beside themselves magicians were also
interpreters of dreams. So dream interpretation
was practiced since ancient times.

Historical background of dreams in modern

times

Artemidorus of Daldus (AD 138-180), a Roman

philosopher, studied symbols in dreams. He
interviewed dream interpreters throughout Italy,
Greece and the Near East, and noted that dreams
could rarely be taken at face value. In his book
“Interpretation of Dreams”, he established
principals for the interpretation of fundamental
types of symbols and images appearing in dreams.
His work foreshadowed in many ways the work of
Freud and Jung, eighteen hundred years later, and
provides an important link between the ancient and
modern methods of dream interpretation.

The Christian theologian Gregory of Nyassa (AD

331-395) published a treatise entitled “On the
Making of Man”, wherein he stated that dreams
occur in sleep because the rational intellect is at
rest. Because the intellect is resting, the dream
mind can work through the day’s activities.

In the thirteenth century, the Roman Catholic

Church declared that the future was solely in the
hands of God and that dreams could neither be
prophetic, nor communicate divine revelation.
People, who claimed that their dreams were
divinely inspired, were condemned as
blasphemous. Joan of Arc, a dreamer whose visions
changed the course of French history, were burned
alive at the stake in 1431 as a heretical witch,
partly because the Church denied that her dreams
or visions could be divinely inspired.

Nevertheless, interest in dream interpretation

never really declined. With the arrival of printing in
the Renaissance, the book of Artemidorus was
printed in 1518, and went through twenty editions
in the next 200 years. Despite this popular interest,
ascetic Protestants gave no credence to their
dreams. Yet the great reformer Martin Luther
taught his followers that dreams revealed their
sinful nature.

The German Romantic Movement of the late

eighteen century developed various theories on
dreaming. The German physicist, GC Lichtenberg
(1742-99) was the first scholar to link dreams with
the unconscious. By the end of the nineteenth
century, dreams were recognized as products of
the unconscious and linked to the source of
creative and imaginative ideas.

In England, Henry Maudsley became well known as

a physician of “nervous disorders.” He noticed that
“dreams are sometimes found to go before severe
illness.” However, despite his observations, none of
his peers seemed interested in the possible power
of dreams.
Freud and Jung

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the founder of

psychoanalyses, began the first comprehensive
scientific study of dreams in the 1890’s. The result
of these efforts was the publication of his book,
“The interpretation of dreams” (1900), which
describes a method for the interpretation of
dreams.

Freud differentiated between the hidden meaning

and its actual content. He did this by trying to
reconstruct the motivation of the dream from the
dreamer’s waking associations. According to Freud,
thoughts that are characteristics of our early
childhood strongly influence our dreams. In his
view, the mysterious and absurd qualities of
dreams are directly due to the need for disguising
the wishes, which our conscious mind will not
acknowledge. Freud stated that dreams have two
principal functions: first, to attempt to fulfill our
restrained, subconscious wishes that are mainly
sexual and aggressive in nature and secondly, to
guard our sleep. Freud believed that the content of
dreams consists of our memories, but that the
stimulus for a dream is always a subconscious wish
that has its origin in childhood.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1962) started his research

similarly to Freud, and later developed his own
theories. He analyzed the dreams of his patients to
explore the inaccessible regions of the
subconscious mind. He too believed that dreams
are largely symbolic. While Freud’s wish-fulfillment
theory was intended to explain the biological
function of dreaming, Jung’s theory suggested also
a psychological function of dreams. His view was
that the function of dreams is to compensate for
aspects of the dreamer’s personality neglected in
his conscious life. This viewpoint does not differ
substantially from Freud’s wish-fulfillment theory.
For Jung, dreams attempt to reveal rather than to
conceal what is in the subconscious mind. He used
mythology, comparative religion, and history in
interpreting the symbols appearing in dreams.

Following on from the early work of Freud and Jung,

a continual interest in dreams has existed. Many
attempts have been made to find a systematic
method to interpret the symbols occurring in
dreams and to give a consistent meaning and
explanation of these symbols. However, both
Freud and Jung concluded that the meaning of a
dream differs from person to person depending on
the person’s own perception of that symbol. They
suggested that ascribing any consistent meaning to
the symbols occurring in dreams is impossible. For
example, a lion could symbolize power and
authority to one person, but destruction and danger
to another. They concluded that the meaning of a
dream depends on the individual’s own perception
of that symbol.

We have to consider that in their research, Freud

and Jung did not differentiate between the dreams
of unbelievers and those of born-gain, spirit-filled
believers. They mainly worked with problem-loaded
people who had no relationship with God.

They spent some time together, discussing their

theories and interpreting each other’s dreams.
Each rejected the other’s interpretation of the
dreams. Jung believed every human being is deeply
rooted and connected with the history of mankind.
He established the term, common sub-
consciousness, while Freud’s theory was
personality centered. A growing conflict developed
between Freud and Jung and the final break
between them came on their trip to the United
States in 1912. During this period when Jung
pondered on the validity of Freud’s theory and how
this theory could be linked to human history, Jung
had a dream.
He dreamt that he was in an unknown two storey
house but he knew it was his house. He found
himself in the upper storey in a type of salon,
furnished with fine old furniture in rococo style,
with many old paintings hanging on the walls. He
was quite pleased with the appearance of his house
and wanted to discover what the lower floor looked
like. Descending the stairs, he reached the ground
floor, where everything was much older, dating to
the fifteenth or sixteenth century. The furniture was
medieval. The floor was tiled with red bricks, and
everything was rather dark. He then came to a
heavy door and discovered a stone stairway that
led down into the basement. There he found
himself in a beautiful vaulted room that looked
ancient. The walls dated to Roman times. On the
floor he discovered a golden ring. With it he lifted a
stone slab and saw another stairway leading down.
He followed it and came into a low cave cut into the
rock. Thick dust, scattered bones, broken pottery,
and two human skulls lay on the floor. The skulls
were partially disintegrated. Then he awoke.

Jung asked Freud to interpret his dream, which

Freud did according to his wish-fulfillment theory.
Before starting with the interpretation, Freud asked
Jung what two people he disliked the most. Jung
mentioned his mother-in-law and wife. Freud
claimed that the two skulls represented Jung’s wife
and mother-in-law because he was convinced that
Jung would like to see both dead. This was not true
at all. Jung liked both of them very much but had
deliberately misled Freud to test his interpretation
skills. Freud’s misinterpretation caused the final
break between the two.

Jung’s interpretation of the dream was that the

house represented a type of psychical image –
where the salon with its inhabited atmosphere
symbolized the consciousness, while the ground
floor represented the first level of the unconscious.
The further he descended into the house the darker
the scene became. The lowest cave was filled with
the remains of early civilization, which Jung
interpreted as the world of the primitive man inside
each of us. He said that the primitive psyche of
man borders on the life of the animal soul, just as
animals inhabited caves, before human beings
started to dwell in them.

However, Jung did not follow the basic Biblical

principal that a dream comes as an answer to the
questions a person pondered on before falling
asleep. For example, King Nebuchadnezzar was
concerned with the future of his kingdom after his
death (Daniel 2:29). In the dream, God gave him
the answer to his question and showed him what
the future would bring. Daniel could tell
Nebuchadnezzar both the question that had been in
the king’s heart, and the interpretation.

Because Jung pondered on Freud’s theory and how

it could be linked to human history, God gave him
the answer. Let me give you the interpretation. The
house in his dream symbolized human history.
Important historical periods were associated with
various levels of the house. The early history was
associated with the lowest part of the house, and
ascending storeys represented more recent history.

In the cave Jung found two human skulls. We can

relate them to Adam and Eve as the whole floor of
the cave was covered with thick dust. Adam and
Eve decided to exalt knowledge above the fear of
God and ate from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil. In punishment God cursed them, saying
they would die and go back to the dust from which
He took them.

The basement of the house was set in the style of

the Roman period. This was a decisive period where
knowledge, argumentative skills and education
became very important powers governing mankind,
and truth was violated. The ground floor represents
the late medieval times and the second storey the
rococo which led to the age of enlightenment and
humanism. We note that Jung was impressed by
the fine appearance of the furniture and the
precious paintings, all produced by the human
mind. His dream showed that Freud was actually a
successor of all those people who had been seeking
the fruit of the tree of knowledge, valuing the
power of self over the fear of the Lord.

The house is a symbol of human achievements

throughout the ages, but founded on death, dust
and dead bones. All the things Jung saw in the
house are dead works with no real living value (all
the furniture was antiques), merely deceiving the
proud. The fact that Jung saw this as his own house
shows that Jung was deeply influenced by the
mindsets of his ancestors, dating to the beginning
of mankind. He was not, as he might have thought,
independent and free in his thinking. Repeatedly in
the history of mankind, the same sin has been
repeated, namely not seeking the tree of life that is
to know the Lord in all your ways and not to lean on
your own understanding.

Many people today are following Freud and Jung’s

principals and guidelines for interpreting dreams. It
is shocking to know that even spiritual leaders base
their understanding of dreams on Freud and Jung’s
ideas. Most of these authors work with problem-
loaded clients who had no relationship with God.

The ancient Russians were heathen. Presently,

there exist many books about dream interpretation
in the countries of the old USSR, which are based
on heathen religious believe and superstition.

The only and true way for dream and vision

interpretation
The Scriptures should interpret dreams and visions,
and not theories or superstitious believes. The
Word and the Holy Spirit are one and will never
contradict each other. Jesus answered and said
unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures
[Word] nor the power of God [Holy Spirit] (Matthew
22:29).

If one does not study the language of the symbol

and type of the Bible some of its grandeur will be
missing and dreams and visions cannot be
interpreted. It is the glory of God to conceal a
matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a
matter (Proverbs 25:2).

The Bible indicates that an object may obtain a

specific meaning by its inherent character. So
animals, birds, fish and even objects, not referred
to in Scripture, can be interpreted by their
characteristics, habits and uses.

Scriptures to support above statement are as

follows: But now ask the beasts, and they will teach
you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the
fish of the sea will explain to you (Job 12:7-8). We
can use the following example to explain the above
scriptures. The hyena has extremely powerful jaws.
It is a scavenger, although it will also attack and kill
life prey. It scavenges the leftovers from other
predators with little effort and become very
aggressive when other animals want a share of its
prey. A hyena speaks of a person that takes
advantage of others.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the

firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day
utters speech, and night unto night reveals
knowledge. There is no speech nor language where
their voice is not heard (Psalm 19:1-3).
For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes are clearly seen, being understood by
the things that are made, even His eternal power
and Godhead, so that they are without excuse
(Romans 1:20). Paul said to us that the natural was
first and then the spiritual. However the spiritual is
not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual
(1 Corinthians 15:46).

The interpretation of dreams and visions is included

in the gift of interpretation of tongues (dark
sayings), and it is a gift of the Holy Spirit. As for
these four young children, God gave them
knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and
Daniel had understanding in all visions and
dreams (Daniel 1:17, emphasis added).

Steps to interpret dreams and visions

Firstly, one must be aware that the interpretation of

dreams and visions is a gift from God. Sometimes
the Holy Spirit reveals the meaning immediately
but at times it takes longer. It may take hours, days
or weeks or even longer to receive the
interpretation. So Daniel went in and asked the
king to give him time, that he might tell the king
the interpretation (Daniel 2:16).

Secondly, the symbolology and typology of the

Bible should be studied in detail knowing that the
Bible is written in the language of signs, symbols
and types. Jesus taught in parables, thus using
symbolic language. I will open my mouth in
parable; I will utter dark sayings of old (Psalm
78:2).

Solomon said to impart wisdom to the godly you

must understand proverbs and their interpretation.
A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a
man of understanding will attain wise counsel, to
understand a proverb and an enigma, the words of
the wise and their riddles (Proverbs 1:5-6).
We must pay attention to fine details in a dream
such as color, direction, symbolic action, numbers
and shapes. To correctly and completely interpret
dreams one must take care of all details contained
in the dream or vision.

God has created the color spectrum, with its seven

colors, in a specific order. The colors are purple,
indigo, blue, green yellow, orange and red. Red has
the longest wavelength and purple the shortest.
The first three colors refer to the manifestation of
the Spirit. In the tabernacle of Moses the colors
blue, scarlet and purple were used (Exodus 39:1).
The red or scarlet color refers to the blood needed
for the remission of sins.

The color green lies in the middle and therefore

representing the soul, which includes the mind,
emotions and will. For example, I had a vision of a
green coffin while praying for somebody. It
emerged that this woman feared that she might die
from breast cancer at an early age, as were the
cases with her mother and grandmother. I assured
her that the source of her concern originated in her
own mind (green coffin). It is now two decades later
and she has two beautiful kids and she is just as
healthy as 20 years ago.

The last three colors, yellow orange and red are

associated with the works of the flesh. It does not
mean that these colors only have negative
meanings.

All detail is important such as direction of

movement or field of vision. These details give us
an indication if it is a positive or negative message
and also to which timeframe it belongs. See my
book “Interpretation of Dreams and Visions” for a
full explanation.
Symbolic action such as facial expressions often
indicates the mood of the dream and shows if the
symbols must be interpreted positively or
negatively. It is necessary to emphasize that this is
not to be worked out in the carnal mind but to be
discerned by the Holy Spirit.

Numbers are occasionally included in the content of

a dream or a vision. Numbers are a superior form of
symbolism and their meanings are rarely
understood. A symbol should be interpreted as it is
used in Scripture. By learning the different ways
numbers and other objects are used in the Bible,
we can interpret accurately what they mean in our
dreams and visions.

Occasionally shapes like circles, squares or

triangles appear in dreams and visions. Some
people reluctantly speak about them, as they fear
that its source is from the devil. If all circles,
squares and triangles were evil, it would mean that
all creation in heaven and on earth with all their
beauty is constructed by the evil one, which is not
true.

The occult does associate certain circles and

triangles with witchcraft, but we must ask God for
the discernment between life and death and the
truth and the lie. Circles, squares and triangles are
discussed in detail in my book “Interpretation of
Dreams and Visions.”

Thirdly, record the dream or vision as accurately

and completely as possible. Record the dream as
soon as you wake up otherwise you may forget
some detail and often forget the whole dream.
Record all details such as colors, numbers, direction
of objects, field of vision and your mood and if it
was a positive or negative experience. Do not add
(never assume) or take away from the dream, as it
will influence the interpretation. Have a pen and
paper next to your bed to record dreams as soon as
you wake up. Also take a pen and paper with you
when you pray to record visions immediately after
you have seen them. Sometimes you may dream or
see visions and sometimes you do not dream
dreams and see visions. Then the Lord answered
me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on
tablets, that he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk
2:2).

I also have a dream and vision journal on my

personal computer where I record my dreams and
visions because I am not good at writing down my
dream the first time in strict sequential order of
events. My handwritten copy is always a mess.

Fourthly, analyze the dream or vision. Make a

thorough study/research of all the symbolic objects
and symbols in your dreams or visions. Create a
complete record of each symbolic object and
symbol and then update your symbolic dictionary.
State the definition or give a reasonable description
of the object or symbol as well as its most
important characteristics, habits and/or uses. If the
object or symbol is traceable to the Scriptures,
record the Hebrew and/or Greek meanings and
refer to the relevant verses. An object or symbol
has as many meanings (positive or negative) as it
has characteristics, habits and/or uses. So, the
interpretation of a specific symbol may differ from
one vision to another depending on which
characteristic the Holy Spirit wishes to emphasize.
A lion in a particular vision may reveal the Lion of
the tribe of Judah. And one of the elders saith unto
me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of
Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open
the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof
(Revelation 5:5). On a different time surrounding
other conditions, a vision of a lion may refer to
demonic attack. Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour (Jeremiah
8:7a). The characteristic, which the Holy Spirit
desires to emphasize is discerned by the Holy Spirit
and not worked out in the carnal mind. Practicing
the gift of interpretation of dreams and visions
needs endurance. The more you know your Bible,
the more Scripture the Holy Spirit can use to bring
it to mind.

To update my symbolic dictionary, I use the Bible,

books on the animal and plant kingdoms, Bible
dictionaries, Bible encyclopedias, Hebrew and
Greek lexicons and dictionaries. I also use the
Internet in my research. As a rule I prefer to
exclude secular material as far as possible.
Occasionally secular material proves to be useful.
Make use of Bible programs (e.g. E-sword), which
can be downloaded from the Internet for free, the
Internet and your local library as books are
expensive. Over time, if you faithfully do what I tell
you, you will develop a good understanding of the
leading of the Holy Spirit in dreams and visions as
well as the meaning of most objects and symbols.
Practice makes perfect.

The Lord occasionally uses objects and symbols

that relates to a person’s occupation and interests.
A shopkeeper may receive dreams and visions
about products, services and customers, while a
professional hunter, from time to time may receive
dreams and visions about wild animals, rifles,
ammunition and customers.

Fifthly, you need to discern if your dream is a

spiritual or natural dream. You need to know
whether the Holy Spirit inspired the dream or
whether it was a product of your mind.

We also need to know if the dream is symbolic

(parable) or literal. Normally if something in a
dream is not literal then the whole dream with all
objects and symbols must be interpreted. However,
there are rare occasions when this rule does not
apply. Refer the chapter on dreams concerning a
woman that had a dream where she saw people in
a large swimming pool.

You also need to know to whom the dream refers

and what the dream really means. Therefore,
record the background of all dreams or visions. The
background involves the activity a person was
engage in or the meditation of a person’s heart or
the issue a person wrestles with before he or she
went to bed. Record if the prayer, experience or
meditation was intense and what it was about. You
need to know what the dream relates to. Is this
Scriptural? King Nebuchadnezzar meditated on
what would happen after his reign and God
answered him: As for you, O king, thoughts came
to your mind while on your bed, about what will
come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets
has made known to you what will be (Daniel 2:29).

Fervent prayer and meditation on the word of God

every day, is a healthy habit. It is not good enough
to believe God for dreams. Passivity will not
provoke dreams and visions. When you are
involved in prayer, worship, waiting on the Lord and
living in the Word we minister to God and others.
Then the Lord will speak to you through dreams
and visions to reveal His will to you. The will of God
is for your own good; to bring His Son forth in you.

Sixthly, the dream or vision needs interpretation.

Ask the Lord for the interpretation of the dream or
vision. Start at the beginning of the dream and
interpret the objects and symbols one by one and
thus the dream. Dreams may relate to you
personally, to your family, to your church, your
business, or be applicable to third parties, nations,
countries and continents. This chapter is only an
introduction to help you. You approach the
interpretation of dreams and visions in the same
sincere manner as when you meditate on the word
and it involves the same steps. It takes time,
patience and much perseverance to practice your
gift.

I started to see visions after my conversion in 1973.

It took me eighteen months before I started to flow
in the interpretation of dreams and visions. In the
beginning I saw dreams and visions but could not
interpret them. One day I said to the Lord, “What is
the use You are giving me dreams and visions but I
cannot interpret them. What a waste.” Immediately
I received the gift of interpretation because I knew
immediately the meaning of some visions I have
had eighteen months before. When you ask God
for the gift to interpret dreams and visions
you must practice it as often as you can
otherwise it will not develop.

Nobody can have a tender relationship with the

Holy Spirit on behalf of somebody else. You are
responsible for your own walk with God. Visit a
prophetic group and learn from them. You must
prepare yourself that you will make many mistakes
in the beginning. You can with time mature in this
interpretation gift where you become pretty
accurate. However, I doubt it if there will be a time
in this dispensation where you will be infallible. We
know only in part and prophesy in part. For we
know in part and we prophesy in part (1 Corinthians
13:9). This reality should keep you humble.

Lastly, take responsibility for what the Holy Spirit

has revealed to you. Meditate on your visions and
pray it through until its fulfillment and maturity.
As long as you cry out for wisdom and
understanding in what He has revealed to you, He
will let you prosper in all areas of your life. And he
sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had
understanding in the visions of God; and as long as
he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper (2
Chronicles 26:5).
