The word for today is - Visions !

I'm sorry this was Friday's word.
The word for today is - Visions !
The question arises often as to whether God in this dispensation speaks to men and women,directly in dreams or visions? God used visions in the Old Testament and the New Testament in an pointed time. We must ask by what Biblical standard says? During Old Testament times the people did not have the written word of God, therefore God directed them through the prophet who recorded what God told them and that became the written word.Read 2 Peter 1:20-21,Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. God relayed His messages through the power of the Holy Spirit, to His chosen servants by visions and dreams.Read Amos 3:7,Surely the Lord God will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret unto his servants the prophets. In conclusion one thing is clear, it is the word of God that man speaks, one came in a vision and another in the Bible. God is now revealing Himself through His written Word in the New Testament to the people,read John 1:1-2,In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.The same was in the beginning with God. Let us get some understanding of his word, read Joel 2:28-31, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood,before the great and terrible day of the Lord. Amen !
