I had this disturbing dream last night that seemed to focus on my oldest son.
In this dream I was with my family and we were walking down this road. On my right side was the ocean and it's beach, I could see the waves. On the left side was this calmer water. It seemed more like a lake. We decided to go to calmer water. It seemed it would be more safe for my son to swim in. I knew it would be shallow and not so deep. My son in this dream was around 6 or 7, but in reality he is 30. When we arrived at the sandy area. I looked to the water and had a bit of a shock. I pointed to the water and told my son to "look there is a large dorsal fin in the water!" I said it's a shark, a big shark. I was really surprised by this because I didn't think sharks would be there. Of course I became very hesitent about going near the water, but my son wanted to go in. He kept telling me not to worry, that he could deal with it, he'd keep and eye on it. But as he was talking I looked more closely at the water and I began to see more sharks in the shallow water. I think I counted about 5 or more. The one that had the large dorsal fin was the largest and most deadly. But they were all very dangerous to me. There was no way I would let my son go into that water. He just seemed so oblivious to the danger, but I knew that those sharks were just waiting to devour him. I also knew that just standing at the waters edge looking down into the water where the sharks were was also dangerous. I remember something I saw on the discovery channel that sharks were known sometimes to jump out of the water to get their prey. Throughout this dream my main concern was for my son who just couldn't understand or see the danger. I felt alot of anxiety over his safety. The sharks were nothing to take for granted. Then I woke up.
As soon as I woke up I prayed and prayed alot for my son. And I also prayed in the spirit as well. Then I got up and wrote this down. As I began to write the Lord began to give me some understanding of what this dream was warning me about. It was about my son, that he would come under alot of temptation over something. But these things that may look ok, in reality are dangerous and will cause him great harm. The large shark was Satan, seeking to devour who ever feel for that temptation. I also had a very strong feeling that it is related to business and/or a financial thing. My son has a habit sometimes of not looking before he leaps, especially were financial things are concerned. Satan has used "credit" as a way to trap him at times. Where as I have a tendancy to be more careful and causious. God often gives me a strong descernment about things and I've learned to listen to His warnings. I've learned that sometimes things may look real good, but in reality in the end it is more of a curse.
When my son got up to go to work, I told him about the dream. I really felt I needed to warn him, I think it's something that is to come, it hasn't happened yet. But now that I know, I'll keep my eyes and ears peeled to watch.
I don't know? Does this speak to you or am I off base?

Well it seems God was warning me, because it is happening now, (and has been going on). And I was right in discerning what the Holy Spirit was revealing about my son. Even the words that he spoke, are exact, "I can handle it"!
He truely needs God's help and wisdom right now. (Oh how I wish he would see the sin that is making him blind and deaf to God's warnings!)
Please pray for him.
The good thing about this dream, is that I did not see him go into the water were there the sharks were, so I have hope that God will save him, (in more ways then one.)
