I have had a few girlfriends over the course of my lifetime who have had the unfortunate delusion that they are God’s messenger in my life. 

That implies that I wouldn’t listen to God if he was speaking. Are you kidding me? I beg for that still gentle voice to speak to me. I love hearing the whispers of the Holy Spirit.

The only problem I have is that God isn’t the conversationalist I would like Him to be. He seems to be the only one in this world who really makes any sense and He is the one who doesn’t talk that much. 

Well, one of my girlfriends always told me what God told her to tell me about what I needed to do differently.

This really grated on my nerves and it didn’t always line up with what God had told me directly. 

She also supposedly received dreams on my behalf. One of those dreams I believe was from God because it was a warning about an alcoholic I dated.

The other dream I think was from Satan. She said that she had seen me back with my ex-husband and we had another child. She said it was the only dream that she had ever had in color.

I was furious when I heard that because I knew that God had released me from my marriage and when I get that kind of anger boiling inside of me I run to the Word of God to calm myself down.

I turned right to Matthew 23:8-10. This passage says, “But you must not be called ‘Teacher’ because you have only one Teacher, and you are all brothers and sisters together. And don’t call any person on earth ‘Father’ because you have one Father, who is in heaven. And you should not be called ‘Master’ because you have only one Master, the Christ.” (The Everyday Bible translation)

That passage calmed me down. I knew that my anger was righteous in origin, so it was ok.
. I did not need to look to anyone else other than God for my direction. This woman, despite her delusion, was NOT God. 

I find it ironic that this dream was in color.  I believe that the devil was the angel of light, I think a colorful dream may have been his forte.’
