I had a dream last night 3/6/24, that is what I would consider spiritual in nature. It has been a long time since I have had such a dream. Whether or not this dream comes from my own thoughts in my head, that was manifested in this dream, or if it is from the Lord I do not know. Whatever the case may be I do believe that it was spiritual in nature. In my dream I was in my house, but it wasn’t the house I live in now. It wasn’t my parents house I grew up in either but in the dream I knew it to be my house. In the dream I remember it was raining, after the rain stopped I went outside in the backyard to check on my garden. Edena was with me, however I don’t recall seeing her face in the dream, but I know she was there. I had two different garden beds, one on each side of the house, that was up against the house. Both gardens had big mounds of dirt on them caused by the rain. On the right side we dug up the bed to see if there was any potatoes growing underneath (As potatoes grown underground), this is why I am saying potatoes. However we didn’t dig up potatoes but papayas instead, I remember either me or Edena saying they were papayas, and there was plenty of them, a lot of large one and some small ones. We opened one up and it was beautiful inside with lots seeds. Now I Know that papayas grow on trees and are not cultivated from a garden bed and dug up. On the other side of the house was the other garden. It to had a big mound of dirt on it, and you could see the leaves and branches popping up, just like the other side. When we went to start digging there was a body of a snake, and it was alive. I didn’t see the head and I didn’t pull it up because it frightened me. I called my two sons Robert and Jorjje to come look. Robert pulled the snake out of the ground and I think, from what I can remember I cut the head of the snake off. The head fell to the ground and bit at Jorjje we both jumped back but the snake did did not bite him, then the head died. I looked back at the body Robert was holding in his hands and the whole body had shriveled down to size and was dead. I can’t remember anything after that, yet it seems to me that there was more of the dream. I have prayed to God to please reveal the rest of the dream to me, and give me the ability to interpret the dream.
This is my thoughts on the dream as of right now. The papaya is a fruit, and I have been praying a lot in the last couple months, and also have done some bible studies on the fruits of the spirit that Paul spoke of in Galatians chapter five, and also (2 Peter 1: 5-8), speaking about being partakers of the divine nature, and adding to our faith. Asking God to help me in developing these traits. The papaya would be representative of bearing good fruit, and we all know that the snake is always representative of satan. So does this mean that I have been growing in bearing the fruits of the Spirit, and also adding to my faith things like Self control, patience, so on and so forth? I do feel like I have been, but not like I should be developing some of these traits in my opinion, of course these things don’t happen overnight. By me killing the snake, is this conducive with my battle with satan? I know I haven’t won with him, because the sin nature is still in me, and the temptation I have overwhelms me at times. So I interpret this dream (At this point in time), that because I went to the garden first that bears the fruit, before I went to the garden with the snake, my dream is telling me that in order to overcome satan, I must first develop the fruits of the Spirit as spoken in Galatians, and add on to my faith the traits that are listed in 2 Peter,. Then, and only then, can I overcome the temptations of the satan and the lust of the flesh? I don’t know why my two sons were there. I would like to have God give me this understanding.
