IDENTIFYING ANGELS IN YOUR DREAMS
Identifying angels in your dreams is important because
it helps you to:
1) Discern whether the dream is from the Lord.
2) Interpret the Lord’s Word by understanding the
purpose of the angel’s presence in the dream.
-
If there is a person in the dream that you don’t know
who has a pleasant countenance, or is helpful in some
way, then that is probably an angel appearing in your
dream. They represent “heaven’s” purposes and resources
in one way or another. They are pretty easy to identify
as angels once you realize they look like people. How?
Because angels are ministering spirits, they are sent to
be helpers, like servants, waitresses, stewardesses,
etc. If they are offering help, they are probably
angels.
Heb 1:14 AMP
Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants)
sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of
those who are to inherit salvation?
ANGELS CARRYING PROPHET'S MESSAGES
I remember hearing the testimony of Bobby Conner say
that one time he saw himself walking back and forth in
the balcony as he was preaching. He thought the TV
cameras had some cool equipment and they were
duplicating him preaching on a screen. But the Lord
opened his natural eyes and he realized he was seeing a
bunch of angels walking back and forth that looked
exactly like Bobby preaching. The Lord told Bobby that
they were the angels assigned to carry the Lord’s
message through Bobby to the ears of those who were
prepared to listen.
Heb 1:14 NKJV
Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to
minister FOR those who will inherit salvation?
I have often seen Bob Jones and also Bobby Conner in
dreams and visions. They share the Word of the Lord to
me in one fashion or another and I am comfortable with
hearing the Lord in this way. I have heard their own
testimonies where they have had visitations from each
other, telling the Word of the Lord. One time they were
in a motel for a conference and each sleeping in
different rooms. Bobby did not know he “visited” Bob in
the night. I think he came in the form of a dentist if
I remember correctly and that was quite humorous to me.
After praying over this concept, I have come to believe
that these are angels carrying their prophetic message,
just as in the explanation above.
Our level of faith can quench or expand the Words of the
Lord and how He speaks to us, and this includes seeing
angels. One time I was being extremely stretched by
hearing some prophetic messages through a couple of
prophets I did not know and the Lord was introducing me
to their writings and experiences. I can safely say
that they freaked me out. I was so stretched I started
to squawk and balk. I felt I was on the edge of
upsetting the Lord with my kicking and so I sincerely
apologized for it. I did not want to grieve the Holy
Spirit or quench Him in giving to me in any way. I
wanted my portion of hearing Him to expand, not get
smaller. I told the Lord I badly needed His discernment
to be able to weigh the messages, and their experiences,
and I badly needed Him to give me the comfort level I
needed in my faith.
It was at that point, I asked a strange question. I
asked Him if He would please send Bob or Bobby to me to
help me bridge my faith. It didn’t matter to me how, I
just needed the bridge. I knew my comfort zone and Bob
was like a spiritual father to me and Bobby was like an
elder brother in the Lord. I have watched them grow up
in the Lord and have had an investment of prayer into
their lives and I felt comfortable receiving from the
Lord through them. Anyway, that night I saw a bunch of
revelations that had been given to Bob and the Lord
addressed quite a few of my problems that I was having
with the other 2 prophets. However He was using Bob’s
revelations as an example for me to better understand.
I was totally at peace and finally understood some of my
problems and areas of stumbling that I was trying to
overcome. The Lord is SO compassionate to answer our
prayers when we ask Him! I woke up a changed person!
=======
In another example, on 9/10/00 I had a vision of an angel driving up next to
my car and smile at me a glowing smile. He seemed to say
with his face expression, “Well are you, or are you
not?” This angel had on a helmet and looked exactly
like a person I know who is in deliverance and healing
ministry. This angel was a carbon copy image of the man,
only a heavenly copy without the sin nature, and with a
beautiful countenance and love. When I came out of the
vision I heard, “This is where He wants you to come into
your maturity.”
In real life, this person was alive and I wondered about
seeing him like this. I wondered if it represented his
anointing, because he was so glowing and pure and
youthful in an innocent and clean way; I knew this was
what he would look like in heaven if he had died that
day. After hearing Bobby’s testimony above, I finally
understood I was seeing one of the angels that carries
his anointing. It made total sense.
Angels looking like people we know is not unscriptural.
When Peter knocked on the door, they thought it was his
angel and ignored his knock. They would not have been
so complacent about it had they not already known that
there were angels that looked just like the people they
knew.
Acts 12:13-16 NKJV
And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a girl
named Rhoda came to answer. 14 When she recognized
Peter's voice, because of her gladness she did not open
the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter stood
before the gate. 15 But they said to her, "You are
beside yourself!" Yet she kept insisting that it was so.
So they said, "It is his angel." 16 Now Peter
continued knocking; and when they opened the door and
saw him, they were astonished.
Heb 13:2 AMP
Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend
hospitality to strangers [in the brotherhood — being
friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of
your home and doing your part generously], for through
it some have entertained angels without knowing it. [Gen
18:1-8; 19:1-3.]
ABOUT
EXPERIENCING ANGELS
In the same way that there are different levels of
angels on earth and in heaven, there are different
levels of “seeing” angels. A visitation from an angel
can be very powerful, where they reveal the glory,
authority and power in which they are given. These
experiences can impact our bodies and overwhelm our
humanity.
I am reminded of Daniel who was terrified when Gabriel
came.
Dan 8:17-19 NLT
As Gabriel approached the place where I was
standing, I became so terrified that I fell to the
ground. "Son of man," he said, "you must understand
that the events you have seen in your vision relate
to the time of the end." 18 While he was speaking,
I fainted and lay there with my face to the ground.
But Gabriel roused me with a touch and helped me to
my feet.
Dan 10:7-11 NLT
Daniel, am the only one who saw this vision. The
men with me saw nothing, but they were suddenly
terrified and ran away to hide. 8 So I was left
there all alone to watch this amazing vision. My
strength left me, my face grew deathly pale, and I
felt very weak. 9 When I heard him speak, I fainted
and lay there with my face to the ground. 10 Just
then a hand touched me and lifted me, still
trembling, to my hands and knees. 11 And the man
said to me, "O Daniel, greatly loved of God, listen
carefully to what I have to say to you. Stand up,
for I have been sent to you." When he said this to
me, I stood up, still trembling with fear.
On the other hand, one can have a visitation from an
angel and the angel can hide their glory and seem like a
person. When Manoah saw the angel, he thought it was a
man of God. And the angel spoke with him, but it was
only when the angel ascended up into the fire did Manoah
realize this was an angel of the Lord.
Judg 13:15-23 NLT
Then Manoah said to the angel of the LORD,
"Please stay here until we can prepare a young goat
for you to eat." 16 "I will stay," the angel of the
LORD replied, "but I will not eat anything. However,
you may prepare a burnt offering as a sacrifice to
the LORD." (Manoah didn't realize it was the angel
of the LORD.) 17 Then Manoah asked the angel of the
LORD, "What is your name? For when all this comes
true, we want to honor you." 18 "Why do you ask my
name?" the angel of the LORD replied. "You wouldn't
understand if I told you." 19 Then Manoah took a
young goat and a grain offering and offered it on a
rock as a sacrifice to the LORD. And as Manoah and
his wife watched, the LORD did an amazing thing. 20
As the flames from the altar shot up toward the sky,
the angel of the LORD ascended in the fire. When
Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell with their
faces to the ground. 21 The angel did not appear
again to Manoah and his wife. Manoah finally
realized it was the angel of the LORD, 22 and he
said to his wife, "We will die, for we have seen
God!" 23 But his wife said, "If the LORD were going
to kill us, he wouldn't have accepted our burnt
offering and grain offering. He wouldn't have
appeared to us and told us this wonderful thing and
done these miracles."
When we “see” angels in our dreams, and also picture
visions, they most often will appear in the form of
human beings. We wont experience the Lord’s glory or
authority on them. Even though these are not
overwhelming experiences does not mean they are not
authentic. Remember that the scripture says that some
have entertained angels and not been aware of it. The
word unaware in the Greek means to be ignorant and to
remain hidden. The only way this ignorance can happen
is if they hide their glory and we see them an mere
people and therefore we do not “experience” them.
Heb 13:2 KJV
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
EXAMPLES OF SEEING ANGELS
RHEMA 6/26/02 JOY ANGEL
VISION: I was traveling and went passed a
tree. When I looked back, I saw an angel and he
suddenly turned brilliant with God's glory. He had
turned facing the other direction and looked like he was
preparing to depart. His mantle went from his shoulders
to his hips and it was glowing white. My eyes had been
opened as in a trance and I tried and tried to keep my
eyes open so I could see him. I begged that he not
leave.
Gen 32:24-26 NKJV
Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with
him until the breaking of day. 25 Now when He saw that
He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of
his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint
as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, "Let Me go, for
the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go
unless You bless me!"
So instead of leaving, he turned toward me, and I was
still traveling forward away from him and he blew joy
bubbles into the air. They were about 2-3 inch
bubbles. Then he blew them tome and the wind carried
them and I opened my mouth and they popped in my mouth
and in my face. I was so delighted as they popped.
I felt the vision closing down, and I tried to keep my
eyes open as long as I could. I saw my own company of
angels accompanying me. There seemed to be somewhere
between 7-10 both men and lady angels, each dressed
differently, floating above my heard about 6 feet or so.
When I woke I felt that the angel I saw was Anna's angel
and he had been standing at the family tree. It was the
same oak tree that I had seen before, only this was
green and well planted and full of leaves.
COMMENT: This was a real blessing and comfort to
me. I was deeply discouraged yesterday.
RHEMA 6/06/09 A LARGE CUP
HEARD: Make sure you pay attention.
PIX: I saw an angel getting a large tall cup
out of the cupboard.
HEARD SONG: Our God is an awesome God, He
reigns from heaven above. With wisdom, power and love,
our God is an awesome God.
HEARD: Don't quit. Be obedient. Freely give
what you are about to receive.
WORD TO PONDER: THE CUP OF THE LORD 6/18/09
I have given you a cup to drink, which is My will for
your destiny in My kingdom. As often as you ponder this
truth, it soaks deeper into your life until you finally
wholeheartedly accept the full cup.
I have received your commitment to Me and how great and
tender is My love for you! In efforts to be faithful to
this vow, I see you wrestle between flesh and soul to
line them up with My will. I gave you free will and it
means so much when you lay down your independence for My
sake. You are such a precious child and you give Me such
joy when you seek to wholeheartedly please Me.
John 8:28-30 NKJV Then Jesus said to them, "When you
lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He,
and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught
Me, I speak these things. 29 And He who sent Me is with
Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do
those things that please Him."
RHEMA 1/19/09 WARNING, DON'T TURN AWAY FROM
PARTICIPATING
DREAM: I was next and I came to a lady and
said, I'm just here for my lesson. I was not interested
in getting involved in whatever they were talking about.
PIX:
I saw some kind of a weather balloon barometer lowering
down in front of me. It was an instrument attached to a
weather balloon that was flying above me.
HEARD: Scientist. The barometer.
HEARD:
Grew cold waiting. What is the lesson here?
HEARD:
Exactly. You may go now.
PIX:
I saw a coral gate open and a wild horse ran out.
HEARD:
Welcome into My room. Table is set. He who has
awakened my spirit to hear. Why is this important?
Heed what I tell you. Remain steadfast.
Isa 50:4-5 NKJV
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned,
that I should know how to speak a word in season to him
who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning, He
awakens my ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD has
opened my ear; and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn
away.
COMMENT: This revealed to me that the Lord
desires us to have fellowship and participate in
sharing. While we are waiting upon the Lord to
fulfill our promises, this keeps us from growing
cold in our spiritual pursuit of Him. There are
some that simply dont want to participate, not
because they dont have time, but because they have
not had their spirit awakened to hear. According to
the above scripture, we need to be careful not to
turn our ear away from hearing Him.
RHEMA 12/08/08 HUMBLE SERVANT STUDYING
PIX: I saw an angel in a humble brown robe
with cap and he was sitting down at a plain, wooden
table to read and study.
WORD TO PONDER: TIME FOR DEEPER STUDY 1/19/09
There are times and seasons, each for My purpose. You
have entered a time when it is important to study My
Word. Research, ask questions, dig for answers. Search
for common reference points, common words to understand
My bigger picture from history through now. I AM
opening My Word to you, that you may see fuller
revelation of what I intended from the very beginning.
Beloved student, if you take the time to study My Word,
heed it and not turn away, I will reward you for your
time. Your faith will be rekindled, your understanding
will nourish deep roots and your joy shall return.
2 Tim 2:15 AMP
Study and be eager and do your utmost to present
yourself to God approved (tested by trial), a workman
who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and
accurately dividing[rightly handling and skillfully
teaching] the Word of Truth.
Isa 50:4-5 NKJV
The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of the learned,
that I should know how to speak a word in season to him
who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning, He
awakens my ear to hear as the learned. The Lord GOD has
opened my ear; and I was not rebellious, nor did I turn
away.
RHEMA 11/16/99: SAW THE ANGEL GIVEN CHARGE OVER THEM
VISION: I saw an angel. He was sitting at a
table with an open Bible in his hands. He was blond
with curly hair. He was wide with broad shoulders.
HEARD:
I come in the name of Jesus Christ.
EXPERIENCE: We were staying at the Holiday Inn
near the airport and an airplane went up over our room,
very loud.
HEARD: (As the airplane went over)
Glory!
WAYNE HEARD:
Three times during the night, Wayne heard, "I give My
angels charge over you."
The last time, the emphasis was upon YOU.
WORD TO PONDER ANGELS ON ASSIGNMENT 11/16/99
I have given you angels that are specialized to fit your
needs. I have heard your prayers for increased
revelation into the scriptures and I have sent a special
angel to help you. You will find an increase of clarity
and your eyes opened to new understandings. This angel
will help ground the things I tell you, with My Word.
“For He shall give His angels charge over you, to
keep you in all your ways.” (Ps 91:11 NKJV)
UPDATE NOTE: Wayne has read the Bible through at
least once per year for most of his life. I must have
seen the angel that is assigned to Wayne, specifically
when he reads the Bible. Wayne also spends most of his
mornings in prayer. I know there is a host of angels
going forth, just like an airport dispatching airplanes.
RHEMA 12/09/02 STRENGTH PROMISED
HEARD: Daughter, I love you. I will strengthen
you. My beloved.
VISION:
I saw an angel get into the back seat behind the
driver’s seat of our green car. He was a black angel
with long, muscular but lean and well toned bare brown
legs. He was crammed into the car and too big. He leaned
over and peered under the car roof and gave me the most
beautiful smile.
HEARD:
I am here to help you. Strength.
REVELATION: I was praying about this angel and
wondering what he was supposed to do. Then I suddenly
realized the hilarity of this. It was his LEGS that I
saw, and they looked like a runner’s legs that were
strong and well toned. He was black because blacks are
known for their athletic abilities, especially their
running. I was so tickled to have all this revelation
with the picture!
1 Cor 9:24-25 NKJV
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run,
but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you
may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the
prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to
obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable
crown.
Heb 12:1-2 NKJV
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so
great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every
weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let
us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our
faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured
the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the
right hand of the throne of God.
Acts 20:23-24 NKJV
But none of these things move me; nor do I count my
life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with
joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord
Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
2 Tim 4:8 NKJV
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the
race , I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid
up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord,
the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and
not to me only but also to all who have loved His
appearing.
