We hear the deep anguish and confusion in your heart, and we come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up these troubling dreams and the pain they have stirred within you. First, we must gently remind you that the God we serve is not a God of confusion, fear, or deception (1 Corinthians 14:33). He does not delight in causing His children distress, nor does He break His promises. The Bible tells us, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you," says Yahweh, "thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11). If these dreams have left you feeling attacked, deceived, or abandoned, we must consider that they may not be from God at all, but rather from the enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
You express anger toward God, questioning His love and even His existence because of these dreams. We understand that pain can distort our perception, but we must stand on truth: God *is* love (1 John 4:8), and His love is unchanging, even when our emotions or circumstances make it hard to see. You mention feeling "fake" and "not real," and we want to remind you that your identity is not found in dreams, appearances, or even the opinions of others. Your worth is rooted in Christ, who created you in His image (Genesis 1:27) and calls you His beloved (Ephesians 1:4-5). The enemy wants you to believe lies about yourself and about God, but we rebuke those lies in the name of Jesus. *"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly"* (John 10:10).
You also express fear of losing your family and being abandoned by those you love. This is a tactic of the enemy to isolate you and make you feel alone. But God promises, *"I will never leave you nor forsake you"* (Hebrews 13:5). Even if others were to turn away, He remains faithful. We encourage you to cling to this truth and not let fear dictate your faith. The dreams you described—where appearances change and relationships are threatened—may be symbolic of spiritual warfare. The enemy wants to distort your perception of reality, but we declare that God’s truth is greater than any deception. *"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"* (2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
You mention feeling like God is doing to you what He has told us *not* to do. This is a serious accusation, and we must address it with both truth and compassion. God does not lie (Numbers 23:19), nor does He tempt us with evil (James 1:13). If these dreams have made you feel violated or betrayed, we must ask: Are they truly from God, or are they a spiritual attack meant to shake your faith? The Bible warns us that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14), and his goal is to plant seeds of doubt, fear, and despair. We rebuke any spirit of fear, confusion, or deception that has come against you in the name of Jesus. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7).
You say your faith is "negative 240" and that you will never believe again. We understand that pain can make us feel this way, but we urge you not to let bitterness take root in your heart. The Bible warns, *"See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many"* (Hebrews 12:15). Faith is not about feelings—it is about trust in a God who is faithful even when we are not. Even in your anger, we see that you are still crying out to Him, and that is a sign that He has not abandoned you. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18).
We also must address the language you used to describe God. The Bible tells us to honor Him with our words (Exodus 20:7) and to approach Him with reverence (Hebrews 12:28). While He can handle our raw emotions, we must be careful not to let anger lead us into sin (Ephesians 4:26). God is not an "animal" or "careless"—He is holy, just, and full of compassion (Psalm 145:8). We repent on your behalf for any words spoken in haste or pain that did not honor Him.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heavy heart, lifting up our brother/sister who is struggling with fear, confusion, and anger. Lord, we ask that You would break the power of these dreams and any deception that has taken root in their mind. We rebuke the spirit of fear in the name of Jesus and command it to flee. Father, Your Word says that You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We pray that You would restore a sound mind to our brother/sister and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we ask that You would remind them of Your unchanging love. Help them to see that You are not the author of their pain, but that You are their refuge and strength. Heal their heart from any bitterness or resentment, and replace it with trust in Your goodness. Father, we declare that their identity is secure in Christ, and no dream or deception can change who You say they are. You call them Your beloved, and You have plans for their future filled with hope.
We pray for protection over their mind and their faith. Guard them from the lies of the enemy, and let Your truth be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path. Surround them with godly community—people who will speak life, encouragement, and truth into their situation. Lord, if there is any unforgiveness or unrepentant sin in their heart, reveal it to them so that they may find freedom in You.
Father, we ask that You would restore their joy and their hope. Let them see Your hand at work in their life, even in the midst of this struggle. Remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted and that You save those who are crushed in spirit. We thank You that You are a God who hears, a God who sees, and a God who answers prayer. We trust You to work all things together for their good, according to Your purpose.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to take these steps in the coming days:
1. **Renounce the dreams and any lies they have planted.** Speak aloud that you reject the fear and confusion they have brought, and declare that God’s truth is greater.
2. **Spend time in God’s Word.** Even if you don’t feel like it, read Psalm 23, Psalm 91, and Romans 8. Let these passages remind you of God’s protection, provision, and love.
3. **Talk to a trusted believer.** Isolation fuels deception. Share your struggles with someone who can pray with you and remind you of God’s truth.
4. **Worship in the midst of the storm.** Put on worship music and focus on God’s character, not your circumstances. Worship shifts our perspective from our problems to God’s power.
5. **Ask God to reveal any areas of unforgiveness or sin.** Sometimes, the enemy gains a foothold when we harbor bitterness or unrepentant sin. Ask God to search your heart (Psalm 139:23-24).
Remember, God is not your enemy. Even in your anger, He is pursuing you. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9). He loves you, and He is working even when you cannot see it. Hold on to hope.
