The Significance of Dreams and Angels in Our Lives
When I was younger, in my twenties, I would often dream of flying over treetops and revisiting the old trailer court where we grew up. Now, at 49, I recently had a vivid dream of an angel with wings descending from heaven and landing in front of our courthouse. The dream was so clear, like watching a 4K television. The angel was very tall and held a scroll that rolled out. A man, significantly smaller compared to her, wrote on the scroll and spoke aloud, “Michael, a Hopkins cherubim of Stoddard County.”
This dream made me ponder the possibility of undercover angels on earth. We have all types of undercover people, so why wouldn’t God place someone undercover from heaven? Perhaps an angel who doesn’t realize he’s an angel, gathering information from his lifetime to report back to heaven.
The Bible supports the idea of angels among us. Hebrews 13:2 states, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unaware.” This verse reminds us to be kind to strangers, as they might be angels in disguise.
Dreams hold significant meaning in the Bible. They are often used by God to communicate with His people. Here are some examples:
Genesis 31:11: “And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.”
Matthew 1:20: “But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.”
Matthew 2:13: “And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Matthew 2:19: “But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt.”
Revelation 8:13: “And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!”
The last scripture shows that angels do fly, and according to my dream and the Bible, they do have wings.
These scriptures illustrate how God uses dreams to guide and protect His people. So, don’t take your dreams too lightly. How do you know that you don’t go somewhere when you sleep? Perhaps your spirit leaves your body and joins with other spirits in the invisible realm.
Dreams can be a powerful way for God to communicate with us, offering guidance, warnings, and comfort. Pay attention to your dreams, for they may hold messages from the divine.
