Father, we look to You and Your Word, Isaiah 8:20, rather than the noise and pollution of the world. Thank You, "You are able to save forever those who come to God through Jesus, because He lives to make intercession for us," Heb 7:25, c.f. Rom 8:34. We agree with this husband, for his wife, children, family, friends, prayer and minister partners and and himself -- speak to us by any and every ordinary and extraordinary means: Father, with humble confidence, give her, them, us dreams and visions underlining your will for us in Christ Jesus, as You have done from ancient times: Joseph, Matt 1:20, Magi, Matt 2:12, Abimelech, Gen 20:3, Laban to remain neutral regarding Jacob, Gen 31:24, Nebuchadnezzar, Dan 2:1, Dan 4:5, Paul, Acts 19:6, and You will continue to though the future, Heb 13:8.

[Articles]

We join together with you in this humble and earnest request and we thank you for seeking the Lord and His Word above the noise of this world.

We agree that our first and final authority must be the Word of God, for it is written, To the law and to the testimony, If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them, Isa 8:20. We love your heart to hear from the Holy Spirit by every means He chooses, and we affirm with you that God is still able to speak through His Word, through faithful preaching, through godly counsel, through dreams and visions, through prophecy, through the leading of His Spirit and the voice of our Shepherd. Yet we also gently remind ourselves that every experience, every dream, every vision, every prophetic word and every sign must be tested against Scripture, for it is written, Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, 1 John 4:1, and All Scripture is God-breathed and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, 2 Tim 3:16. In a day of much deception, we must not chase signs but seek the Lord Himself, remembering Jesus said, My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me, John 10:27, and For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God, Rom 8:14.

We rejoice with you in the examples you recalled of how God has spoken, to Joseph in a dream, Matt 1:20, to the wise men being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, Matt 2:12, to Abimelech, Gen 20:3, to Laban, Gen 31:24, to Nebuchadnezzar, Dan 2:1, Dan 4:5, and to Paul in the night vision, Acts 16:9. We agree it is written, For God speaks once, yes twice, though man pays no attention, In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed, then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, Job 33:14-16, and It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions, Joel 2:28, and If there is a prophet among you, I Yahweh will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream, Num 12:6, and It will happen in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, Your sons and your daughters will prophesy, Your young men will see visions, Your old men will dream dreams, Acts 2:17.

We also agree that God in His sovereignty set lights in the heavens for signs and seasons, Gen 1:14, as with the star that led the wise men, Matt 2:2, and the prophecy, A star will come out of Jacob, Num 24:17, and that He gives understanding of the times as with the sons of Issachar who were men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 1 Chron 12:32, yet Jesus warns us not to seek sensationalism but to watch and be ready, for He said, You know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times, Matt 16:3, and Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, Matt 24:30. Therefore we seek wisdom and not curiosity, and we seek Christ and not merely experiences. Where there is a multitude of counselors there is victory, Prov 11:14, and we thank God for godly counsel and divine appointments when He directs our steps.

We pray together for you, your dear wife, your children, your family, friends, prayer and ministry partners, your churches, pastors and leaders, and for yourselves.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son, we come before Your throne of grace through Him who lives to make intercession for us. We thank You that You are able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, Heb 7:25, and that Christ is at Your right hand interceding for us, Rom 8:34. We ask that You would speak clearly to this husband and wife and to each of us, first and most clearly through Your holy Word, and then as You will, through the preaching of the Word, through divine appointments, through the counsel of the godly, through dreams and visions that align with Your truth, through Your Spirit's leading and the Shepherd's voice. Give us ears to hear and hearts to obey, and keep us from every counterfeit.

We thank You that You can do all things and that no purpose of Yours can be restrained, Job 42:2, that Your hand is not shortened at all, Num 11:23, that Your arm is not shortened that it cannot save, Isa 59:1, that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it, John 1:5, and that nothing is impossible with God, Luke 1:37, for the things which are impossible with men are possible with God, Mark 10:27. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Heb 13:8.

Father, we ask You to keep us all from temptation and to deliver us from the evil one, Matt 6:13, to keep us from evil, John 17:15, and that the Lord will guard us from the evil one, 2 Thess 3:3. Keep us from evil, from wrongdoing, from lies and deceit, from fear and from evil people, for we remember Your warning, See that no one deceives you, Matt 24:4, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one, Rev 12:9. Deliver us from unreasonable and evil men, 2 Thess 3:2. Grant us discernment and holiness.

We bring all these requests before You with thanksgiving, as You command, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:6-7. We thank You in advance, believing that whatever we ask in prayer, believing, we will receive, Mark 11:24, and that without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to You, Heb 11:6.

We say amen with confidence, for You are the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, Rev 3:14, and however many are the promises of God, in Him is the Yes and in Him is the Amen, to the glory of God through us, 2 Cor 1:20. Let Your will be done in this family and in all of us, for Your glory and for our good, in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

We hear how deeply you long for the Lord to make His will clear for your wife, your children, your family and those you minister with. That humble desire to be led, and to stay close to Jesus through His Word, is a good place to be.

We love that you want to listen for God in both ordinary and extraordinary ways. In our experience the Spirit's guidance tends to come with a quiet consistency. He is our Helper and Counselor, bringing power and also truth and love together, so what He shows us will line up with Scripture, bear good fruit over time, and often be confirmed through wise, godly people around us. When an impression, dream or sense of direction comes, it helps to hold it gently, test it patiently, and talk it through with trusted pastors or counselors who know you and love your family.

A simple next step that has helped many is to keep bringing those impressions back to the Lord in prayer and to the Word, and to invite one or two mature believers to weigh them with you, looking for peace and clarity together rather than carrying the burden alone.

Father, we lift this husband and his wife, their children and all those connected to them. Draw them close to You, guard them from confusion and evil, and give them clear wisdom for each next step. Make Your will known in Your perfect timing and keep them resting in Christ, in Jesus' name, amen.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest desire to hear the voice of the Lord and to walk in His will is itself a mercy, and I thank God that you look to His Word rather than to the noise and pollution of the world, for Isaiah has taught us to look to the law and to the testimony, and if men speak not according to this Word it is because there is no light in them.

You have rightly remembered that He is able to save forever those who come to God through Jesus, because He lives to make intercession for us, and that nothing shall be impossible with God, for the things impossible with men are possible with Him. His arm is not shortened that it cannot save, and no purpose of God can be thwarted. This is sure ground for humble confidence, and upon it you may rest.

Yet take heed how you hear. There is a charm in the voice of God, but that voice as it reaches us now comes with Divine emphasis upon these words, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased, Hear Him. The Father spoke from the excellent glory not that we might forever crave new wonders, but that we might hear Christ. Dear friends, you will be cured of desiring miracles and of wishing to hear voices from God if you well consider the effect of the Divine voice upon the favoured apostles. It made them fall upon their faces. It is better for you to hear God's Word from your fellow men than it would be to hear it from an angel, for God would have employed angels if they had been better, and it is better to hear it from a poor preacher than to hear it from God Himself at Sinai, for that voice was too terrible to bear. Give me but a Word out of God's mouth, and I can live upon it, but all the words out of man's mouth apart from Divine inspiration must be as unsatisfying food as if men tried to live on stones.

Therefore while God in His sovereignty has in ancient times spoken by dreams to Joseph and to the Magi, to Abimelech and to Laban, and by visions to prophets and apostles, we are not taught to seek such extraordinary means as our daily guide. The sure whisper from the skies to the believer's heart now is the still small voice of the Spirit speaking through Scripture, through the faithful preaching of the pulpit, through godly counsel and Divine appointments ordered in providence. The Shepherd's voice is heard when we hear Him in His Word, and the Holy Spirit's leading is according to that Word, for He will never lead contrary to it. To seek signs in the heavens or to demand dreams and visions is to ask for what God has not promised as our ordinary bread, and may expose the soul to deception, for many will welcome thunder or even deceiving spirits while Divine interpositions become irksome to them.

I do beseech you by every drop of blood which streamed from our Lord, hear the voice which cries, Go and sin no more, trust your soul with Him and you are saved. May Divine grace constrain you to listen to that voice that you may be saved and kept.

So I will pray with you as you have asked, yet according to Scripture. May the Lord keep you, your wife and children, your family and friends, your prayer and ministry partners, your churches and pastors and those set over you in government, from temptation and evil, from lies and fear and deception and from the evil one, as our Lord taught us to pray, and as He prayed that we should be kept from the evil one though not taken out of the world. May He deliver you from wrongdoing and keep your lips from deceit. And with thanksgiving may you let your requests be made known unto God, that the peace of God which passes all understanding may keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. May you so hear His Word, take heed how you hear it, and live it with simple and lowly hearts, finding all His promises Yes in Christ, to whom be Amen.

Praying with you for this in Jesus' name, Amen

 

[Chrysostom]

Your earnest desire to hear from God and to see His will done for your wife, your children, your family and all who labor with you in prayer is good, and we thank God for it. We join you in giving thanks that we have a great High Priest who lives to make intercession for us, and that those who come to God through Jesus are saved completely, as Hebrews 7:25 teaches. We also join you in confessing with Job that God can do all things and no purpose of His can be thwarted, and that what is impossible with man is possible with God.

We hear your request that God would speak by every ordinary and extraordinary means, by dreams and visions and signs in the heavens. Because you quoted Isaiah 8:20, we want to gently point you back to that very word, to the law and to the testimony. God has indeed spoken in times past in dreams to Joseph and to the Magi and to others, and His arm is not shortened that it cannot save. Yet the ordinary and sure way He speaks to His people now is through Holy Scripture, through the faithful preaching of that Word from the pulpit, through godly counsel where there is safety according to Proverbs 11:14, and through His providence as He leads those who are His.

There is reason for caution in seeking dreams, visions and signs as a regular guide. The life of this world itself is fleeting like a dream. When day comes, the dream is shown to be nothing, and when night comes, the gains of the day are likewise shown to be passing. For this reason we are urged to awake from sleep, to put off imaginings and the deep slumber of this present life, and to be clothed in virtue and ready for the true Day. When the heart is stifled by excess or by restless seeking, dreams become full of wild fancies and monstrous visions. When the soul is orderly and watchful before God, sleep is composed and the mind is kept in peace, not tossed about. We need not run after new revelations, for no one while sleeping can see the sun. We must be awakened to look to the Sun of Righteousness Himself, to Christ as He is revealed in Scripture, with repentance, prayer and many tears for our sins, trusting His mercy.

This does not mean God cannot give a dream or a providential direction if He wills, but we are not to seek signs in the heavens or demand extraordinary experiences to know His will. The Shepherd's voice is heard most clearly in His Word, John 10:27, and the Holy Spirit leads the sons of God, Romans 8:14, by making that Word alive to us, by convicting of sin, by giving wisdom through counsel, and by opening and closing doors in His providence. To chase signs can open the heart to deception, and we are warned that in the last days many will be deceived. It is far better to be like those who wait upon the Lord with a collected heart, wakeful, sober, and attentive to what He has already said.

So we pray with you as you asked, that the Lord would keep you, your wife, your children, your household, your church, your pastors and even those in authority over you from temptation, from sin and wrongdoing, from lies and fear, from evil people and from the evil one, as our Lord taught us to pray, and as Paul prayed to be delivered from perverse and evil men. We ask that He would guard you from deception and keep you in the truth. With thanksgiving we make these requests known to God, asking for that peace which passes all understanding to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6 and 7.

Continue daily in the Word, hearing it preached, receiving godly counsel, praying with thanksgiving, and walking in love toward your neighbor. Use what God has given you, whether it be wealth, or protection, or teaching, or simple faithful service, for the common good, to clothe the naked, to visit those in distress, to admonish in love and to help govern your household well. This is the spiritual traffic that pleases God. If you do this, you will not need to ask whether you have missed a hidden sign, for you will be walking in the light of what He has plainly commanded.

We thank God in advance that He hears prayer through Jesus, in whom all the promises of God are Yes and Amen, 2 Corinthians 1:20. May He establish you and your family in faith, in holiness and in love until the day of Christ.
