I think you have a point gen D deflating airbed could describe my present life right now. I am facing a discouraging situation if look into circumstances of what is going on in my waking life, it is kind of disappointing. This is why I post a prayer request in the praying place section. But I choose not to be depressed, or deflated.

This is directly related to your present situation. I responded to it in the prayer forum. The moment I read the title of your dream, I knew that it was related. I'm so praying for you Owen

Thank you so much Cholette. You are a blessing in His kingdom.

I keep holding on Gen D, refusing to let go.

One last question....

He said he is going to pay what I have spent during those days he and his friends were with us. Do you think it is OK to receive it or I'll just tell him to forget it?

Astra and Cholette, I will always keep in mind what you have said. I know you two sees what is right in His eyes.

GUYS thank you,

PRAISE HIM! PRAISE HIM!

On Thursday this week, they will be moving to another house, two blocks away from where we live. I felt like a yoke has been lifted up from my neck. My wife said that it was best for him to live near our house so that she could monitor his whereabouts and pray for him in a regular basis.

I know he saw or felt that I was uncomfortable when he and his "friend" were around, even though I am not homophobic but because of spiritual reasons. you know what I mean.

I read one of the books of Smith Wigglesworth, an evangelist mightily used by God in the 19 century. He recounted a story about the death of his wife. The day she died, he was earnestly praying to God to revive her. After an hour or so, his wife came back from death to life, but she told him to let go because it was her time to be with the Lord. As soon as he let go, she closed her eyes and died again. I had goosebumps when I read his story about his wife. Really amazing how God works.

God is good.

Hi jazz

I think your dream is prophetic. I mean it could be literal. the fact that they are still students and with part time job, maybe, God is telling you to warn them to be careful to avoid problems in the future. I am not saying that the baby will bring problems, but having an unexpected baby with out proper planning makes things harder esp. going to school and working at the same time.

Astra, I really appreciate your advice, very practical and true. Another thing is my wife is pregnant, i don't want to hurt her feelings, not good for her.

Really need your prayers!!!!

Well, they key in this situation is THEY LIVE IN YOUR HOME! You do not need to interfere with his relationship but again the fact of the matter is YOUR HOUSE - YOUR RULES. All they need to know is that in your home one man sleeps in one bed and this is final. Besides if there's nothing going on between those two (which I'd never believe) they shouldn't be upset.
You're the man of the house, so YOU set the rules. Tell your wife "sorry, honey, they'd have to sleep separately since neither one of us feels comfortable with this situation." I can almost guarantee you she'd be relieved by this decision. And again, let me stress this, it's not you teaching her brother how to live, but setting Your rules in Your house. Don't like it - GET OUT!

, kind of funny, can't imagine myself saying that to his face. My wife told him the same thing but indirectly. I really like your advice, but the thing is she loves her brother despite of his personality.

Well, advising him how to handle his finances is one thing, but when he LIVES off of you this is a totally DIFFERENT situation for him. You and your wife have to face the truth. As long as he has a freebie, he'll use it. I do not think it is helping him any.
Grown up men are supposed to support at least themselves. If he has the nerve to use your hoome and eat your food without any contribution to the budget, he CAN'T CHOOSE not to listen to you. You'd do him a really huge favour if you set a short term goal to find ANY job to at least put food on the table or else here's the door.

. Amen!

I understand what you mean. When I finished my college and found a job, I became independent from my family.

I agree , having a freebie is putting your finances at stake. I've seen this in his life since he had his first relationship. Even though he earned a lot of money, not to mention his business, he came out broke at the end. Same thing happens today.
Well, he said he's gonna pay as soon as he gets his first salary.

Hmmm, two men in one bed - brothers? I don't think so. Kick the "friend" out. One thing is helping your brother-in-law financially, another thing is letting two or three grown up men sit on your neck and on top of that let them (well, at least two of them) sleep in one bed.

If your wife's brother needs financial help, it still does not give him the right to use you like that. This is YOUR house and YOU set the rules. It's up to you if you want to accomodate all 3 of them, but letting them sleep in one bed, his is BEYOND anything reasonable by any standars. If they feel like "brothers", they can go and experess this somewhere else, not in your home. If there is not room in the house, put a tent up in your backyard.
Besides, I'd give them a time frame with definite deadlines by which they have to accomplish something in order to stand on their own feet.

That's what i thought few days ago. the thing is my wife never interfere with his relationship since the her first confrontation with him Though I know that she is bothered by it.

To be honest, several times my wife and I have been advising him what to do when it comes to his major decisions, such as issues about choosing a job, buying a house, investing his money to start a business, relationships, etc. unfortunately he never listened. And everytime he's in trouble because of his wrong choices, he runs to us for help. This is what upsets me. Everytime it happens I ask God for patience and peace in my heart. I told my wife that I know she is a good sister but we can not go on like this forever. well, hopefully they will move at the end of August, I hope.

hi daisy,

I think her dream is just a result of her emotional struggle from the move. for a child to adapt a new environment is not that easy. her dream maybe a manifestation of her fear.

In the first week of our move from the city to a small town, my son didn't want to sleep alone. He cried most of the time. What I and my wife did was just to pray and pray before he slept, assuring him that God will never leave him alone.

Hope this helps.

in the dream, I saw my self seated in an airbed while i was talking to my wife. Then, i noticed a big hole in the middle of the airbed, and the bed started to deflate. I thought that maybe the airbed is too old and too weak to be used so i decided to dispose of it as soon as possble. EOD.

Thanks for your input.

I agree... we are about to wistness the most difficult time the humanity has ever known. But a house buil on the ROCK will not be shaken.

Maybe, Germany is symbolic of one world political system, or new age, or perhaps an organization controling power over economic and military.

just a thought

please brothers and sisters in Christ, help me pray about two concerns in my present situation these days.

My family has been in a very challenging, trying and testing of faith this month.

First, we are in a very tight situation financially. My wife is pregnant with our second child, most of our savings have been used for check ups and preparing for the coming baby. i know most mothers know what i mean. Yesterday, we just had a car accident. Miraculously, no one was hurt, not even my pregnant wife. GOD IS GOOD AND I PRAISE HIM FOR THAT. My car has major damage in the front part, the bumper was totally destroyed. Thank God the engine is OK. Truly, God preserved our lives.

Second, my brother-in-law is living with us together with his two friends for two weeks now. That would mean that I need to tighten more my finances and plan my budget wisely. My expenses for food in a month have doubled in just two weeks. My wife and I have always been helping him financially for many years. I love my wife this is why I am letting him and his two friends to live with us because I know he has no one to run to.

Please, please, please help me pray that I will remain humble and wise to respond in His provisions financially and spiritually.


I am also asking your godly advice about this matter. My wife is bothered about the sexual preference of his brother who lives with us. 3 years ago,He had a homosexual relationship with two men. When my wife learned about it, she tried her best to help him. But he became resentful and aloof towards us. My wife decided not to talk about it anymore, but still, kept on helping him financially.

What makes my wife and i wondering if he (her brother) and his male friend who also lives with us, have this what we call romantic relationship. We are trying to ignore it, just shrug it off because we dont want to be suspicious or judgemental. He told us that his friend is just like a brother to him. And they have been sleeping together since they became close. We want to believe it, but we cant help thinking that two men in one small bed prefer to sleep each night in one room. My wife asked me if I would choose to sleep in one bed with my male best friend. I told her NO, I would rather choose to sleep on the floor or in a big sofa.

I have no one to open up about this matter and ask some advice. I even think that it is a bad a idea to ask for counsel from my close friends in a church, because I don 't want people to gossip about him.

Well, maybe, my wife and I are wrong. I hope we are wrong.

If you were in my shoes what would you do, given that he lives in your house with his friends.

Thank you everyone for leaving comments and agreeing with me in prayer.

could you reserve me a room in your aprtment please?

As you learn how to love God, eventually, you will also learn how to love your neighbor because He is love.

hapi b-day! Just reminding you that your our life is a gift from HIM.

Very true!

I can relate with your experience.

Do you have a Pastoral call on your life?

No, I am not called to pastor a church, but I have been leading Bible studies since I got born again til now. But if you mean teaching people and feeding them to grow in Christ, I would definitely say YES. I've seen plenty of people whom God has given me to take care growing in the spirit until they reached a level of maturity where they could stand alone with God.

The scripture Heb.12:1 also bears witness in me.

I also think of this dream as a reality of what is happening to my present job coz IRL Im in the leadership position and I am asking God to take me out from it.

I think the Hitler part is prophetic of what´s going on in the world today which shall be revealed in the end times as what the Bible has prophesied. The part where you locked the computer could represent the role of the church.
