Hi all
Had a dream this morning....
I was walking down a hill on a sidewalk with others( a group then only 2). At the end of the sidewalk we kept on going and I started to see money on the ground. The money was dirty. It was mostly folded in half and in the denoms of 1, 5, 20's. 2 others were with me and we started to share and when I picked up a wad of cash with 20's in it the male started tugging at the 20's. (as more money appeared the less the other 2 wanted the smaller amounts) I looked around and noticed I was standing on bags of money, lots of lots of bags, some had torn open and actually someone had buried it and it had become unburied and mixed with the dirt/water-muddy. I was standing next to a shed, a not to well built one and it had been built on top of the money. the dream ended. Now the music and Scripture verses I was playing intermigled with the end of the dream so much that I woke up thanking the Lord for the Blessing he was going to give me. I was just so sure of the blessing what ever it would be. and I then went back to sleep............
Thanks for listening

Hi Scott, I'm no expert but felt as I was reading your dream that going 'downhill' didn't seem to be a good thing also the theme, "dirty money" kept going through my spirit. I believe the Lord is warning you of a situtation where you might be financially tempted in a way that does not bring glory to God. Bless you. lizaanne

I was thinking.....
Hi lizaanne
Ya know i was thinking along the lines of dirty money too and could not stop. I also was wondering about the poor house built on the dirty money (or the dirty money was the foundation of the poor house) like the shack was built on. The emotion of the tugging at the money i remember was like a not wanting to share thing or where the 20's were to one person and the smaller denoms could be had by the others. I wonder why i would think it a blessing as i woke up at the end of the dream, unless it was not the blessing i thought it was.......Let me go out on a limb here and dream an interp.....suppose this dream was the Lord telling me that i would not recieve His blessing to win with the lottery ticket that i had bought. ( i by once in a while and i did the day before) That maybe He thinks the money is dirty money and the boy and girl with me could have been my son and daughter fighting over the money if I had won and like so many other lottery winners i would have ended up living in the poor shack where you can see through the slats. And my spiritual self woke thanking the Lord for not winning and my physical self woke thanking the Lord to win.
I had been praying for some extra money help because things are tight and i was sad because this is the worst Christmas year I have ever had without being able to buy a single Christmas gift and family stuff in disarray with no resolve in sight.
Well this sounds so pausible to me i wondering if it is true.
Thanks lizaanne for your response................

Scott, I don't know what you believe about playing lottery but I do know alot of christians who believe that it is gambling and so its sinning...I am wondering if the Lord is showing you this also?? It may not be so...but something to take to prayer...
Also, remember money can also be symbolic of gifts and callings. I know you felt that this dream was positive one and it could be...but there are alot of things that don't seem very positive..like the shed that is unstable...and the dirty water...and the fact that the money was buried...
Things to pray about...I am praying for you brother...May God open your eyes and reveal the interp..

HI
Hey, do you know where we are told not to gamble in the Bible?
I really do not think the lottery in its self is evil, it is what we do with it in word, thought, and deed. It is like a gun, computer, car, or fast food eating place its what we do with it. We were told to live a moderate, helping others lifestyle with some no-nos in life. However, I , in my prayer life, have been going over my lack real money control with the Lord. So I was kind of laughing at my self wondering what I would do with a large sum of money but get into trouble. So I actually started praying for a sum of money to cover specific items in my life that needed dealt with to move me forward but not get me into trouble.
When lizaanne wrote what she did it got me to thinking about the fact that i had been thinking of the money in the dream as dirty money. It got me to thinking that the sidewalk ended and the way ahead stopped with a shack i would not put animals in or store stuff. So maybe the positive was the Lord explaining why i should not have a lottery prize. I also thought of the boy and girl who could have been a symbol for my kids fighting over the prize and it affecting them. I say this because in 2006 the Lord gave me a dream that warned me of an action and how it would affect my youngest son if i pursued what he told me not to do. Well i did what i was not suppose too and it hurt him badly among others things. I did feel it was positive and was excited but now i can be excited that the Lord would speak to me about (if i have interpt it right) the dangers that wait for me if i were to gain dirty money.
I can see how the lottery would fit into being dirty money with the way it is raised. But i can also see the dirtiness added to computers, cars, sports, or even how churches go after money from the people. Its what we make of it. Thank You for your prayers

Scott,
Thats why I was asking you...because it seems what one person is convicted of another isn't...I never really did any digging for scripture pertaining to lottery persay but I do know that lottery is a form of gambling your money to get more....and I do know that there is scripture about gambling and greediness...I can see what you mean by the cars, computers, and fastfood...but you aren't gambling with those things to get more money..People by cars because they usually work hard or save their money and by one...They eat fastfood once in a while and they might be giving their money away to get the food but they are not gambling for more money...same with computers, ect...I agree ..everything should be done in moderation and everyone has a different view on that..And everyone has a different view on scripture it seems too. I know that the Lord will reveal to you the interp. to your dream and it looks like you are at peace with the meaning that you think He has given you so far...and really its your dream and you are going to bare witness with the interp. more than we all. See, I always thought of gambling in the same sense as I did any addiction...if you start out trying to just a little you always get drawn into more and more until you are in bondage to it..like alcohol, drugs, nicotine, pornography, ect...It seems that you can do those things in moderation but they end up entangling us..NOT SAYING THAT YOU ARE ENTANGLED OR THAT YOU ARE A GAMBLER>>Please understand that I am not saying those things about you...just trying to make a point...lol...
God Bless you brother!!!!
Much love to you on your search for Truth.

HI Scott,
I appreciate how well you are trying to think things through in light of the scripture...that speaks of maturity.
I am wondering if it's not too far of a stretch to link JR with your financial situation. If an angel, he is a ministering spirit sent from the Lord. In my experience, angels carry such a huge presence of the Lord on them that I cannot take them lightly, but need to turn my face and worship JEsus. Jr. seems to be sort of nice, but somewhat antagonistic, but it appears that you've become so familiar with him being sort of a bratty family member that you might be a little fond of having him. I'm just wondering what would happen if you'd repent for fellowshipping with him, commit your emotions and attention on the Lord and sort of 'starve' jr out.
You seem to have such a serious heart for the Lord, but wonder if this thing didn't just sneak into your life in a way that was a little adorable that you were tricked into accepting it. If that is the case, it is not harmless, but assigned to bring death on some level to your lives (financial and deception). Seems possible to me that since it is not showing it's true nature and intent, you've not been sure in identifying it's source. Maybe try demanding that it reveal it's true identity.
Sorry, I got to rambling here! May the Lord bless your serious pursuit, and may He release understanding into all of your situations and release His blessings upon you and your household.

Hey Scott,
I do believe the lottery is gambling and wrong in the eyes of the Lord. There are many, many people (Christian as well as non-believers) being drawn into the casino's, buying lottery tickets, etc. for a chance at 'free money'. The only thing most don't realize is there is a 'price to pay'. I know personally of two people who became addicted to gambling and lost well over $100,000 each and one died very early in life around the age of 50. It is wonderful how God knows us individually and wants to speak into our lives, such as the dream He gave you. I encourage you to re-group with your family and pray about if the Lord would have you get an extra job or find additional ways that He can bless to help your family make ends meet. Blessing, lizaanne.

Thanks to each of you
Lots of food to work on..........I must say ( though I throw a dollar or two at it about every other month) the lottery is a dangerous thing and what lizaanne said about the people she knows goes on all the time in the name of some government program. I have my addictions but its not really gambling. However, if what i am at peace with on my out on the limb thought with lizaanne reminding me on my own convicting thoughts then dirty money it is........Where people fight and rob, kill, and destroy over it. What gets me, as all three of you write, and always has is what we'll will call planning for the money. I would get lost in a fansty world of planning when i was in school (publisher clearing house days) and not go to school. In real life i am a planner (day dreamer) of things. I try to plan out what will be in what i do and sometimes i get lost in the planning and when i finally come up for air is when i realize that a large amount of time has past. So the Lottery is not good for me. Actually I have learned that being idle is not go so the Lord has been gracious in helping me get work. And maybe that's why I have the foster kids now because i retreated into a shell like a turtle and got comfortable even with work. (go to work come home then go to work- come home- go to church and smile- go home etc....) ok now i am rambling........
Now kimibrew brought up a thought...........Nope I do not think it is to far of a stretch....I went back and read what others said and I thought on it and nope its not a stretch. The only time an angel has appeared to me was in Lord sanctioned visions or dreams, but not in real life. This spirit also casts a very dark shadow. I like your description of how i tried to describe it "sort of nice but antagonistic" and it got me to thinking. When ever a evil spirit has attacked my home before we literally chased it out and usally won. Maybe this time (please tell if I am out on a limb here) it changed tactics - they are not stupid. There has been resists in my home for some time, here where i am now it has been very strong at the camp it was lighter (holy ground) and in other places in varing degrees. The "familiar with him" made me think that since it was not giving of any real evil vibes just the "bratty child" stuff it found a way to stick around. My youngest went off the deep end in mind and with drugs. Drug people were able to come to my home. When I was getting ready for the foster boys this spirit was actively moving around - I said excited- but i wonder if really trapped because it moves to stay with my daughter first chance it got. I wonder what caused that? When it was within my home....it was not affected by Christian prayers, music, praise, Scripture reading, etc......it is strong........My daughter home does not do any of that..(long story there)...I just prayed about it and ignored it. Kimibrew your not rambling.......Demanding it to reveal its true idenity......I will think on that one.......
Waitingonhim you are right of course things do have a way of sneaking up on us......................
thanks again for all your help......to me it is a Blessing from the Lord

Hi just a note or two
I wanted to mention that part of the reason I believe it was the lottery money in the dream is because it was folded in half. When ever a person wins the lottery you actually only get half of the winnings, or even less. I also had a wondering thought...why were there no 10$ in the money just 1, 5, and 20's.
thanks
