Dear Believe
I have been confronted with, what is the Holy Spirit and how can we determine which Spirit is of God and what is not. Because Satan is the prince of this world, He have certain abilities, One his power is the influence certain fruits by introducing spirit gremlins in people minds. The fruits deceive, but mixing the truth with a lie, or distorting truth. The Spirit of Truth can direct His question clear, or by symbols but also with time and patience and above with love. He is like a mother and has great wisdom that cannot believe, put only those with the simplicity like a child heart. I will find Scriptures and Verses in this study.
God also sends Dreams with verbal quotations. These are often instruction filled with the way of wisdom. For example, dreams of past relationships, these might indicate that the person is being tempted to fall back into old patterns and a way of thinking. Depending on who the person is in the dream and what he or she represents to you- these dreams might also be an indication of need to renew your former desires and godly passion for good things in life. God is the Master of Dreams Weaver. Through dreams God communicates directly with us concerning our destiny as well as destinies of our family, our nation, and our world. Over two hundred times, the scriptures give a reference to dreams and visions. Three hundred times, the scripture refers to angels. God is a supernatural God, and he communicates to his people through supernatural means. A dream is a series of thoughts, images, or emotions that appear in our minds during sleep. Sometimes they are straightforward, but mist of the time they are not. In case of Holy Spirit inspired dreams, often there is the need for careful interpretation, as these dreams tend to be parabolic in nature. In other words, like the parables of Jesus, the meaning of a dream is sometimes hidden.

Mark 4:10-13 (NKJV) But when He was alone, those around Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.
And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,
so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.' "
And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

Jesus’ pattern of teaching was to speak in parables and mysteries-not to keep people in the dark, but to whet the appetite of those who were truly hungry for the truth, like the simplicity like a child or an adult. He wanted to draw them in so they would press forward to more and simplicity. He loves this journey of hooking us with revelation with the purpose of actually reeling us into His very heart. Dreams and visions often us parabolic language.
Mark 4:22-25 (NKJV) For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.
If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.
For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him."
Things are hidden for divine purpose:
 
The divine providence is to be observed . To every purpose there is time and judgment

Eccl 8:1-17 Who is as the wise man? And who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment. Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Though a sinner do evil an hundred times and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes
Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
