Question
May God continue to increase you more and more in wisdom and knowledge sir!

I will aprreciate an answer to my question if you are willing.

I had a dream and I saw my spiritual father in the lord gave me a bag full of white candles after he finished preaching,he actually called me out of about thousand of people in the congregation.

Please do you know what this means?

thank you and God bless

Answer
Sola,

The interpretation of dreams is a very precarious thing at best. By that I mean one must have the Lord give a specific interpretation for that specific dream. And I am sorry Sola, the Lord has not given me the interpretation of that dream. And for me to venture to give you one would be for me to "presume" to know the mind of God in this situation. I hope you understand.   :-)

But do not think to badly of me, I do have a couple suggestions for you that may help.

1. Seek your answer from the Lord.
This is the most important avenue for receiving your answer (and ultimately, however God give you the interpretation, He will be the one to give it). Daniel sought the Lord for the interpretation of a dream given him by God. To receive the interpretation Daniel prayed and fasted (he fasted what is now called a 'Daniel fast', he only ate simple foods, and ate '...no pleasant bread...'). I suggest that you specifically set a time apart in your schedule to seek God for the answer. And to couple your prayer with fasting.

2. If you are able, ask you "spiritual father in the lord" if he perhaps has the interpretation.

From the way you wrote about him, he seems to mean quite allot to you. Just be open with him and share your dream.

I hope that this has been of some help. Please feel free to write back if you have any further questions.

Experience

I gave my heart to the Lord a few months after being married during a revival meeting. A few weeks later I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and I have not been the same since! In those twenty five years we have only attended one church (Harvest Church), and there I have served there as an Elder for fourteen years. We minister in song with the choir and worship team. I am also the new member’s class coordinator, men's ministry director, and the Harvest Riders motorcycle ministry president. In 1993 the Lord called me to "...preach the Gospel where ever I open the door..." I have had the privilege of ministering God's Word to churches in Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. In those meetings we have seen the Lord save, heal, deliver, and fill people will His Spirit.

Organizations
I am ordained through Harvest Church, and with the World Harvest Ministerial Fellowship. I also am a licensed minister with the State of Oklahoma,
