Sometimes people can hesitate to interpret dreams because they afraid of being wrong,and doubt what they may feel. However, a single dream can have many layers of truth, and that is why you should not be afraid to share your interpretation.
Scripture says. We know in part and we prophesy in part.
What this means is, no matter how great an Interpretation is, its only a part of the whole. So the more people interpret the more we get a full picture.
Secondly…
We interpret by the Spirit of Prophecy. And many times when you listen to a dream. The Holy Spirit can begin to minister to you truths beyond what was in the dream. Interpretation of dreams functions by the gift of interpretation of tongues. And when you’re interpreting dreams, you are prophesying, though you may not realize it.
Don’t feel intimidated. And if you feel something strong inside you, even if its different from what everyone else has said, go ahead and share it.
Interpretation of Tongues
A lot of us already have the gift of Interpretation of tongues, but we don’t recognize it. The bible says that a person who speaks in tongues, speaks MYSTERIES by the spirit.
1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
So the gift of Interpretation of tongues, is a gift of INTERPRETATION OF MYSTERIES. There three key ways that Mysteries of God are given to the church.
- Through the scriptures
- Through Dreams
- Through Inspired Utterance [Tongues]
The gift of Interpretation of tongues, can manifest itself in all those three areas. One of the best examples of this gift at work, is Daniel the Prophet. I believe this was Daniel’s main gift, and we see him interpret these three areas of mysteries.
The tongues are intepreted to Nebuchadnezzar’s son.
Daniel 5:25-28
25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: ‘MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.’ 26 “This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has counted your kingdom, and brought it to an end. 27 TEKEL: you are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting. 28 PERES: your kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
