HOLY SPIRIT AND DREAMS/VISIONS Holy Ghost provides a person power for the supernatural anointing to the foretelling of God’s vision to see into the affairs of a person or organization.  To use knowledge rightly executed by the Spirit; God showing the How, Why, When, Where, and what of a subject. This gift may come through visions, dreams, revelations, a still small voice, or an audible voice and gives a supernatural solution of a problem or a supernatural gift the plan and the purpose in the mind of God. God uses Visions and Dreams  (visions are “waking dreams”; see Num 24:4) several times in the Bible to communicate with people. Visions seem to have been common enough that their lack was sorely noted. An absence of visions was due at times to a dearth of prophets (1 Samuel 3:1) and other times due to the disobedience of God’s people (1 Samuel 28:6). New Testament Dreams and Visions Visions in the New Testament also served to provide information that was unavailable elsewhere. Specifically, God used visions and dreams to identify Jesus and to establish His church. Zacharias (Lk 1:5-23): God used a vision to tell Zacharias, an old priest, that he would have an important son.shortly, Zacharias and his wife, Elizabeth, had John the Baptist. Joseph (Matt 1:20; 2:13): Joseph would have divorced Mary but God sent an angel to him in a dream, convincing him that the pregnancy was of God. After Jesus was born, God sent two more dreams, one to tell Joseph to take his family to Egypt so Herod could not kill Jesus and another to tell him Herod was dead and that he could return home. Ananias (Acts 9:10): It a vision from God convinced Ananias, a Christian in Damascus, to visit Paul, the persecutor of Christians. Because Ananias was obedient to God's leading, Paul regained his sight and found the truth about those he was trying to kill.
