#Joel 2:28

[freebiblestudies]

Lesson 043: Dreams

Genesis 43:26 - And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.

When we first encountered Joseph in Genesis chapter 36 we learned he was Jacob’s favorite son.  Joseph’s ten brothers resented him for this fact.  They hated even more when he told them of dreams he was having such as the one told in Genesis 37:7:

”There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”

‭Let’s read together Genesis 28:12-15; Genesis 31:10-13; and Genesis 37:8-11.

Interestingly, Jacob had a previous experience with dreams.  He was given dreams that he knew were from God.  Jacob did not understand Joseph’s dream but he could not discount it.  He kept the matter in mind.

Many years later, Joseph’s dream finally came to pass.  Joseph’s brothers unknowingly bowed before Joseph when they came to Egypt looking to buy grain.

Let’s read together Numbers 12:6; Deuteronomy 13:1-5; Job 33:14-16; Ecclesiastes 5:7; Isaiah 8:20; Jeremiah 23:25-28; Joel 2:28; and Matthew 27:19.

How do you know if the dream you had was a product of your own mind or a vision from God?  The Bible has many instances where God spoke to people through a dream.  However, the Bible also tells of other instances where false prophets led people astray with their dreams.

If you want to know God is actually speaking to you through a dream, you need to study His word and know it for yourself.  True dreams from God will always harmonize with the teachings of the Bible.

Best of Archive Series - What is a Prophet – Are There Prophets in Our World Today?

Of all the things we seek in a modern world the prophet or prophecy in general doesn’t get very close to the top of the list. Materialism and a host of other distractions keep that interest on the back burner for most people. For those not in the “most people” category here is some help. The secular and commonly held belief about prophets is that they are people who are able to “see” the future…

[at-the-end-of-days]

Now I’d like to take a brief moment to discuss Joel 2:28, the new international version

The Day of the Lord

28 “And afterward,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your old men will dream dreams,

your young men will see visions.

Part of the reason why I felt like I needed to make this blog, is because I’ve had “future dreams,” or “deja vu dreams” ever since I was little. Nothing I could do could forcibly trigger them, and they were never… useful. They’d take years even, to come to fruition. But I’d look up in school, or see something, and it would line up *exactly* with a few brief moments of a dream I’d have had earlier. Looking up in a school room. Or a video on the computer.

I’ve told some people about them, but they never seem to really believe me. And why should they? I’m not saying “oh x and y will happen on so and so date.” Or “God told me x y and z.” Never. It’s always just a few moments, seconds, of realizing I’d seen an exact scene before, heard those exact words before. And never in a useful manner, simply “oh.” And not the answers to a test, or anything.. just… a moment in time I’d seen before.

I don’t claim to know the future, or to know exactly what will happen. And my dreams are always incredibly vivid anyways, so how would I know what is a dream, and what’s a deja vu dream, until I’m seeing that moment before me? False prophets are supposed to fill the end of days, people who claim to know what is to come, people who believe their gifts come from other than Gd. But there are also supposed to be the children of Gd who see what is to come.

So let me talk a little about what I’ve dreamed, that I cannot tell if it’s a simple dream.. or what is to come. At least, of future dreams that have yet to be fulfilled.

First, I’ve gotten into a car accident. My car, driving in the left lane on a highway, has sent me into the median. A metal median, not the concrete. I can’t tell if I swerved, or someone hit me, just that I’m in the car, in the driver’s seat, and I have hit the median. Honestly I hope I don’t die from that.

The second? I’m walking into my grandmother’s kitchen and I say “guess who’s won the lottery?” This is definitely one I’d want to be true… but is also incredibly unlikely to pass.

The third? I’m in an intimate moment with someone.

The fourth? A red brick house. Nothing more, I’m simply looking at a specific angle at a specific house.

Fifth? I’m reading an email. I’ve asked my employer to fully reimburse all my gas for my traveling. They say “we don’t normally do this, but-,” and I just know it’s in reference to high, HIGH gas prices. How high? I can’t say. When? Also can’t say.

Sixth? Another email.. acknowledging that we’re in a recession, but I and the workplace all have to work harder.

It’s.. hard for me. To tell what’s dream and what’s not. I dream so vividly already when I do. And while I’ve dreamt of being in school, being on a video call… I’ve never had a deja vu dream of reading an email before. Admittedly, I’ve been watching many videos as of late regarding the economy, of fears of world war 3. That could easily influence my dreaming. But I can’t help but feel that these will all come to pass at some point. Once again, I don’t claim that these dreams come to me of my own power, and nothing I can do can affect how often they come, what I dream of, or if I even dream of something useful. Just that I think Gd has poured out his spirit on me. And not just me. I’m willing to bet that there are many, many others who have had dreams as I have. Maybe even better ones, longer ones, or ones with more warning. But there are also the false prophets. Are they describing false visions? Or true visions, that they claim don’t come from Gd but from their own strength?

If you’ve had similar dreams, I invite you to reach out to me. Or if you think I’m full of nonsense.. I still welcome any civil discussion.

What's Going On at the Asbury Revival?

Two weeks of nonstop worship at #asburyrevival. What does this extraordinary "awakening" tell us? How does it touch us? #asburyawakening

Asbury University Revival (February 2023). True religion, in great part, consists in holy affections. — Jonathan Edwards “After Thursday, I was like, okay, I’m going to go sleep. But [God] was like, ‘No, I have more for you.’” — Lauren, Asbury University student On February 8 the morning chapel service at Kentucky’s Asbury University concluded, as usual, with a spiritual song.

The Spirit Will Pour Out

28 “Then, after doing all those things, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.

29 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants—men and women alike.

30 And I will cause wonders in the heavens and on the earth— blood and fire and columns of smoke.

31 The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.

32 But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, for some on Mount Zion in Jerusalem will escape, just as the Lord has said. These will be among the survivors whom the Lord has called. — Joel 2:28-32 | English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016.

He knocks on your door at 2 in the morning, all but collapses into your arms as soon as you swing it open, tired eyes and heavy limbs that melt into your embrace.

Your colleagues had warned you when he started coming over to your desk, inviting you out for lunch, about how he would chew you up and spit you out, like he did with half of the female staff at the embassy. You hadn’t listened, waving them off and going out with him anyway. First for a quick lunch break, then for after work drinks, then for dinner.

It was fun, a distraction, something to do and someone to know in this city where everything was foreign to you and where you felt more alone than ever before in your life.

It’s more, now. It doesn’t have a definition exactly, but you both know it. You’re the person he turns to when he needs somebody, and you’ll gladly be that for him.

“Do you have something to drink?” His face is sullen as he slumps down on your couch, like the weight of the world crushed him today. You furrow your brow.

“When was the last time you ate something, Javi?”

“‘M not hungry,” he grumbles, confirming your suspicion that he most likely survived the day solely on cigarettes and coffee.

You lean over the couch, wrapping your arms around his broad shoulders from behind. His head falls back against you like he can’t help himself.

“I’m gonna make you a sandwich and get you some whiskey, okay?” Inching closer, you press a gentle kiss against his neck, just below his ear.

He sits up a little straighter and turns to you, reluctance in his eyes.

“Querida, it’s the middle of the night, you don’t have to-”

You shake your head and kiss him again, on his cheek this time. “It’s okay. I want to.”

He leans back hesitantly but doesn’t seem to have the energy to fight you on it, so your lips find his face once more before you head for the kitchen.

Watching him all but devour the food has you hiding your smile behind your own glass of whiskey. He already looks a little better.

“Not hungry, huh?” you tease, your voice light.

“Shut up,” comes his short reply, but his lips are twitching.

He has half a mind to stumble out of your flat again afterwards, but you convince him to stay, that it’s really no problem.

He takes a quick shower, mumbling about washing the day away, and you wait in bed, the warm light from your bedside lamp illuminating the room, until he slips under the covers beside you.

You wrap your arms around him again and hold him close, your fingers drawing shapes on his chest. He clears his throat, shifting awkwardly.

“Thank you,” he eventually mumbles, his voice low in the darkness.

“Of course, Javi.” He tends to get like that, struggling to receive any kind of affection or care when he feels like he has nothing to give back.

He takes a deep breath and shakes his head. “No, seriously. No one ever cared about me like you. I- thank you.”

You sigh and pull him tighter into you, your face buried in his hair. You’ll care for him as long as he lets you.

thank you so much for reading! if you liked this, please consider reblogging or leaving a comment because they make me really happy 🤍

Every. Single. Year. The millers throw an outstanding barbecue, the best Texan brisket that’s been smoked for 12 hours the night before just for this big event.

Hours before the event the whole Miller household was in shambles, everyone on deck running around tidying up, making sure everything is perfect.

Thankfully Joel and Tommy had helpful hands with you being there. Sarah not so much but she’d pop in at times to see what the progression looked like.

Joel called out for your help in the backyard.

“Hey can you help me with the pool, while I check on the brisket?” He squinted his eyes due to the Texas sun in his eyes.

“Yeah, the skimmers in the shed, right?” With the nod of approval from the older Texan, you headed to the shed and grabbed the skimmer for the pool.

While skimming the pool, you were oblivious to the footsteps behind you until you were falling into the pool and loud laughs were heard from the two.

Sarah hunched over; giggles coming from her. Joel stands in the spot that you were just at, laughing.

The worst duo when it came to stuff like this.

“You’re a very lucky man, Miller.” Reaching your hand up to signal help getting out.

“And why’s that?” Grabbing your hand and ready to pull you up from the cool water.

You yank his hand and here he comes splashing next to you in the cool blue water.

“Because if I was wearing the clothes for the party right now, you’d be a dead man.” You laughed at his soaking wet form in the water

Sarah was practically rolling on the grass from how her father fell for the obvious.

“Sarah, could you help me carry this stuff to the table please?” Walking out and placing the paper plates and plastic silverware onto the white fold up table.

“Where should I put this..?” She stood next to you confused.

“I’ll put it away, don’t worry about it.” Grabbing the box of napkins and more paper plates and placing them on the table.

Once you were done putting stuff away , you decided to check on Joel knowing he tends to get anxious before everyone shows up.

“How are you doing.?” You rubbed his shoulder.

“You know how I get before everyone shows up.” Pulling the brisket out of the smoker.

“Yeah and every time, people are blown away from your amazing Texan hospitality that keeps them coming every year.” Following him to the table where all the food is set out and covered.

“You ain’t got a damn thing to worry about miller.” You reassure him.

“Yeah I know but-” he was abruptly cut off.

“Hey Joel, people are here. You want me to let them in or nah..?” It was the man of the hour, Tommy miller.

Joel looked at you for some help, and with a nod of approval from you, he told Tommy to start letting people in.

-

With about half of the neighborhood in Joel millers backyard, there was still enough room to navigate around.

Sarah and her friends playing in the pool, parents talking about the latest gossip going on in the neighborhood. Joel and Tommy talking to their construction friends.

It was one of the very many things you enjoyed during the summer.

Watching from afar, soaking up the memory of pure happiness, until it was rudely interrupted by someone.

“Hey, you know where Joel keeps the beer? I’ve seen everyone with one yet I can’t seem to find a single cooler of beer.” A tall man, graying hair and slight wrinkles in the corners of his eyes.

“Oh um, yeah it’s just this way.” Walking outside by the grill and pulling the large cooler from the somewhat hidden space it sat before.

“Thank you darling. I appreciate it.” The man smiled at you.

“Oh it was really no problem at all.” You returned a polite smile at the older man and just as you about to walk away to find Joel, is when you felt a hand on your wrist.

“Why don’t you have a drink with me?” His oddly warm hand still wrapped around your wrist.

“I would, but I really need to find Joel.” Using anything as an excuse to get away from this man.

“How about you have a drink with me and then we can both go find Joel?!” He said, it was sounding like he was more telling you than asking you.

You were about to reply until your thoughts were interrupted.

“Actually Mike, I need her help with something, so if you don’t mind, I’d like for you to let go of my girlfriend.” It was the man that you were looking for, Joel miller.

“Oh my bad Joel, didn’t mean anything by it.” The tall man, Mike was much shorter than Joel was, Joel was practically towering over the older man. Mikes hand quickly unwrapping itself from your wrist.

“I think Linda’s over there looking for you. Said something about your daughter, might want to go find her.” Joel softly pulling you in his side, watching Mike scramble to find his wife.

“So girlfriend huh?!” You grin looking up at him. Resting your right hand on his chest.

He playfully pushes you away, laughing as he speed walks away from you.

“MILLER.” You shout as you ran after him, laughing once you catch up.

“I only said that so he’d let go of you, or I was gonna have to ruin the barbecue because I would’ve punched him” he said slowly sitting on the outside couch he had.

“Joel miller, you would ruin your barbecue for me, I feel honored.” Nudging your elbow against his.

“Oh shut up.” He looks at the ground chuckling.

After everyone left, it was just you, Joel, Tommy, Sarah and her school friend Ellie.

You and the Miller men clean up the aftermath of the barbecue.

3 trash bags full, fold up table put in the shed, extra food placed in the fridge, and beer put in the garage fridge.

You were finally done.

Tommy called it a night after helping you and Joel take the trash to the garage cans.

-

After washing your hands and putting away the extra paper plates back into the pantry, and running the dishwasher even after Joel’s protests about how he’ll do them tomorrow.

You found Joel sitting on the outdoor couch nursing a beer. Sitting right next to him and laying your head on his firm but soft shoulder.

He offered you some of his beer, which you excepted.

You two say in comfortable silence, just enjoying one another’s company.

At one point you could hear Sarah and her friend Ellie laughing and giggling. It sends a pang of happiness to your heart.

You finally broke the silence, your voice soft and airy.

“You’re the best, best friend I’ve ever had.” You say looking up at him.

And for a second you could’ve sworn the world went quiet, no giggles of the two young girls upstairs, no crickets or chirps, just you two.

“Oh yeah?” He said looking at the full moon that had been looking right at the two of you.

“Yeah.” Turning your attention to the moon as well.

“Well you’re also the best, best friend I’ve ever had.” He turns to admire you, how peaceful you look, how the moon light dances on your beautiful skin.

He watches as you turn to look at him, your smile brightens and for the first time in Joel millers life, he gets butterflies.

It’s like something had taken over Joel’s body as he slowly leans towards you, before his lips capture yours.

You deepen the kiss, moving from sitting beside Joel to sitting on his lap.

He breaks the kiss for a second to breathe, your foreheads resting onto one another’s before he captures your lips for a second time.

“I think I’m in love you with you.” You whisper into the kiss.

“I think I’m in love with you too.” He whispers to you.

A/n: Hey there! I hope you enjoyed!
