He speaks in their ears and frightens them with warnings to turn them away from doing wrong and to keep them from being proud. God does this to save people from death, to keep them from dying. People may be corrected while in bed in great pain; they may have continual pain in their very bones. They may be in such pain that they even hate food, even the very best meal. Their body becomes so thin there is almost nothing left of it, and their bones that were hidden now stick out. They are near death, and their life is almost over. “But there may be an angel to speak for him, one out of a thousand, who will tell him what to do. The angel will beg for mercy and say: ‘Save him from death. I have found a way to pay for his life.’ Then his body is made new like a child’s. It will return to the way it was when he was young. That person will pray to God, and God will listen to him. He will see God’s face and will shout with happiness. And God will set things right for him again. Then he will say to others, ‘I sinned and twisted what was right, but I did not receive the punishment I should have received. God bought my life back from death, and I will continue to enjoy life.’ “God does all these things to a person two or even three times so he won’t die as punishment for his sins and so he may still enjoy life.

I believe that every Christian can claim to receive dreams from God with the ability to interpret them. Here, briefly, is my take on the subject. It's all based on the promise of Joel 3:1.
5 Days
When you give it all to God and go to bed, you stress less, sleep better and dream more. God is waiting to help you manage today’s challenges and experience a less stressful, more productive tomorrow. He will help you make the daily divine exchange that empties out the battlefields of your life—your worries for God’s weapons. Your worry does not fight off your enemies. But God’s weapons do.
Do you ever wonder if what you dream about while you sleep means anything? Your dreams are holy ground. As you discover God’s voice while you sleep, He will reveal His plans for your life, reveal the assignments connected to your life, give you strategy for breakthrough, and much more. God's voice also brings an understanding of the times and the times to come, so you are not caught unaware and can proactively prepare for changes that bring a shaking.
