Guide to Dreams &
Vision Interpretation

Demons
Avoiding Blasphemy
The topic of demonic influence and power in dreams and
visions is one that is very important. There are many
beliefs about the power demons have in dreams that are
not biblically based. One of the reasons that I am so
passionate about not giving the devil credit for dreams is
that by doing so in error we miss what God is saying to
us. I will explain that fully later. The other reason is
blasphemy.
Jesus and Beelzebub
20Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd
gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able
to eat. 21When his family heard about this, they went to
take charge of him, for they said, "He is out of his mind."
22And the teachers of the law who came down from
Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub[c]! By the
prince of demons he is driving out demons."
23So Jesus called them and spoke to them in parables:
"How can Satan drive out Satan? 24If a kingdom is divided
against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25If a house is
divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26And if
Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his
end has come. 27In fact, no one can enter a strong man's
house and carry off his possessions unless he first ties up
the strong man. Then he can rob his house. 28I tell you
the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be
forgiven them. 29But whoever blasphemes against the Holy
Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."
30He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil
spirit."
In the above verse, the Pharisees gave credit to beelzebub
for what the Holy Spirit was doing. Jesus’ remarks tell us
that it was the Holy Spirit Whom was the force that was
driving out the demons but the Pharisees said it was not
so. The Pharisees misplaced and disparaging credit was
blasphemy. When the Pharisees gave credit to Beelzebub
for driving out the demons, when it was actually the Holy
Spirit, they blasphemed the Holy Spirit. If we call a dream
demonic when it is not, a dream which is actually a work of
the Holy Spirit, is that not the same as blasphemy? I urge
you to be careful in this matter.
I realize that some of us have made mistakes of this kind, in
ignorance, giving credit (glory) which belonged to God
where it did not belong. Thank GOD He is faithful to
forgive our ignorance. If you’ve done this in the past, be
comforted by the following verse:
1 Timothy 1:13
Even though I was once a blasphemer ............I was shown
mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
Common Themes
________________
We need to be very careful with our words. The bible says a tongue no man can tame
and in an abundance of words there is much transgression, and that we will be judge for
every idle (having no value or producing no goodness) word that we speak. Please be
careful not to give credit to a demon for something that God may very well be responsible
for.
