Warning Dream: Guard Yourselves From Lying Tongues
Last night I had a dream where I saw something encroaching upon my house as a warning. As I looked out the window it looked like a net of some kind that sought to encompass my entire home. It was brown and wooden. Hard and fixed. The net resembled honeycomb and seemed to have a life of its own. But it kept growing and getting bigger. Every time I looked, it had covered more territory and was about to engulf me. It seemed to come out of nowhere.
Just when I thought it would take over, I then looked and saw huge mounds of snow that had formed all around my house. They had been formed and fashioned like tall round buffers. One after another, the pillars of hardened snow formed a line in front of my house. And nothing could pass by them.
Upon waking, I went to Scripture for answers. Why was the wooden net shaped like honeycomb? What did it represent and why did it feel so sinister? I knew that snow often represents purity. Was this some kind of message?
When I had gone to bed, I had been thinking of the pervading lies and deception that are infiltrating the Church. Especially from some who are now being found to be false prophets who misuse and abuse the word of the Lord. Words are being twisted and stories are being woven by compromised men who seek to cover up their sin. Was my dream a response to my concerns?
As I searched and prayed, I found that honey and honeycomb often refers to words being spoken. That which we taste and eat. The common admonition is to eat God’s Word like honey (Psalm 119:103). And yet, in my dream, this honeycomb net was hard and manmade. Almost like a silent plague of words.
For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword (Proverbs 5:3-4).
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips! Do not let my heart incline to any evil, to busy myself with wicked deeds in company with men who work iniquity, and let me not eat of their delicacies (Psalms 141:3-4)!
I believe this parable in the night is a warning about taking in the words of those given to sin. There are voices among us who are seeking to take us in through their smooth talk and deceptive words. Hoping to win us over through flattery or vain promises, they want us to receive their words as truth, when in fact they are lies. “Do not desire his delicacies, for they are deceptive food (Proverbs 23:3).”
We need to guard our hearts from the influence of deceptive words by establishing God’s Word as a buffer. Gods Word is pure and holy. It cleanses us and keeps us from any compromise and deception. We must establish His Word as greater than any words spoken through those who claim to know His voice, but have hardened their hearts and despise the true word of the Lord.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the Lord” (Jeremiah 23:16).
Reply re: Warning Dream: guard yourself from lying tongues. I’m 75. I also view the literal “earthly” physical realm as evidence of the “spirit” deception. (1) I have observed the introduction of excess sweets & candy & junk food into our grocery stores that is unhealthy & causes diseases. It is addicting and pleasant yet poisonous. (2) The introduction of poisonous TV, music, movies, literature, and now modern technology of all kinds that is also poisonous when misused & viewed to excess. (3) I see the WORLD WIDE WEB as a literal honeycomb net that has now covered the whole earth. Literally..
