For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14).
The prophet Jeremiah, speaking under the inspiration of the Spirit, delivered a divine declaration in Jeremiah 23:28: “The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.”
Here, Jeremiah draws a sharp distinction between dreams and the Word. He acknowledges that some prophets may claim to have dreams, but those who truly possess God’s Word are obligated to deliver it faithfully and without alteration. Then, he says, “What is the chaff to the wheat?”
Dreams are compared to God’s Word as chaff is to wheat. Chaff is the worthless husk separated from grain during threshing. And what do you do with chaff? You discard it. That’s what you need to do with dreams: discard them!
While dreams were one way God communicated with His people in the Old Testament (e.g., Joseph in Genesis 37:5-10, Daniel in Daniel 7:1), from the moment the Holy Spirit came at Pentecost (Acts 2), the New Testament has no record of God using dreams as a means of revelation or guidance for His children.
Those who continue to claim they are led by dreams are living an Old Testament life and ministry; they’re operating where God has already moved away from. Irrespective of your experiences, God’s way of ministering to His people in the Church age is by the Spirit, visions and the Word; not dreams.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit who leads and guides me in all things. My steps are ordered by you, and my life is directed by your Word; therefore, I walk in truth, wisdom and the reality of your divine guidance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
