JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE COULD SHARE SOME INSIGHT WITH A CONTINUAL DREAM THAT I HAVE WITH REGARDS TO BEING IN THE PULPIT. I SEEM TO BE PREACHING HOWEVER MOST TIMES I CAN NOT HEAR MYSELF.ALSO THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I DID NOT SEEM TO BE DRESSED PROPERLY(EX-IN A SWEATSUIT)I'VE ALSO HAD DREAMS OF WATCHING MYSELF ON TV LAYING HANDS...AS WELL AS WALKING INTO ARENAS WITH A FEELING THAT I WAS THERE TO MINISTER A WORD..I GUESS MY QUESTION IS DOES THIS MEAN A POSSIBLE CALLING MAY BE THERE?

Howdy welcome to the board. God Bless you.
All of those to me are calling types of dreams. They show what you are called to do for the Lord. However, the sweat suit dream or other times your inappropriately dressed and preaching to me would show that you are taking very relaxed and informal attitude toward this calling right now. I had dreams of myself in the pulpit for years before they ever came a reality. Hope this helps
in Christ,
thank you

This is a good thing. It means that you are not the one speaking but God is speaking...

I see this informal stance as breaking down the walls of "religion". Taking it to the streets as you would say. Making it an everyday purpose to your life by speaking the Word of God at opportune times.

Welcome trinitystar. I see you have two excellent offerings regarding the sweatsuit. I'd like to offer a third for your prayerful consideration...
A sweatsuit is generally worn when exercising. In the context of the dream it might represent exercising your gifts, being about the Lord's work.
As always, interpretation belongs to the Lord.
blessings,

Welcome TrinityStar,
This surely sounds like you're being called. How far apart are these dreams?
Does it seem like these particular type of dreams are getting closer (like labor pains). Just wondering if time is quickly approaching.

ACTUALLY I DO KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL BECAUSE I DREAM OFTEN .I'VE KINDA LUMPED ALL OF THE PREACHING DREAMS TOGETHER AND NEVER REALLY KEPT TRACT OF THE TIME SPAN IN BETWEEN EACH ONE.I JUST WANTED TO GET A FEEL FOR WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT THESE DREAMS COULD MEAN. I'VE CONTEMPLATED WHETHER OR NOT GOD WOULD GIVE SOMEONE SUCH A DREAM AND IT ACTUALLY MEANS WHAT YOU SEE IN THE DREAM, CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT GOD MOST TIMES THAN NOT SPEAKS IN SYMBOLS!
here's what I heard...

first of all, i get pulpit dreams all the time for myself just as you're having them and I know its regarding my calling...
secondly, when you said you were wearing a sweat suit the first thing I heard was 'don't sweat it', meaning don't worry about the position God is calling you into. You may feel like you're unprepared but just as others have stated on here, you're going to be 'exercising' your gifts through you calling to preach the Lord of the Lord. Its His work in you, He will give you utterance but its not quite time just yet. Soon! Ask Him to reveal what you must do to prepare for it. You know,...like a workout

Evangelist
I would like to add this to the rest of what was said.
As believers , we are to speak the Gospel clearly, fearlessly, graciously, and respectfully whenever an opportunity presents itself .
Romans 10:15
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things
Ephesians 19-20
and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
