   prophecy in the church. Dreams and Visions are part of the prophetic flow. The Dreams of God are not sent to bring terror or despair. If they contain a warning from God they will also contain God’s wisdom for what to do next.He doesn’t leave his kids in a scared limbo.

1Co 14:1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Isaiah’s Vision of the Lord

Isa 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
Isa 6:2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Isa 6:3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”
Isa 6:4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isa 6:5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The LORD of hosts.”
Isa 6:6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar.
Isa 6:7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” —NKJV

We see how God works with people through Dreams in the life of Joseph.

Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Mat 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.
Mat 1:20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife,
- Do not be afraid (God’s dreams don’t come to terrorize us)

for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

• Reveals God’s Plans and Purposes.

Mat 1:21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.”
- often Contains a word of wisdom
Mat 1:22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:
Mat 1:23 “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD, AND BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which is translated, “God with us.”
- always aligns with scripture
Mat 1:24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,

• requires trust and obedience
  

  Mat 1:25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name JESUS. —NKJV

• the dream or vision from God should be prioritized over our plans.
