Have you ever been given a vision from God? [Spirituality & Religion]

This was around a week ago, I told my husband about it but I didn't tell him everything because I wasn't sure what it was either.

You know, I always loved dolls, they were posessions that chained me from what's important. I hated being materialistic and worrying what I might have to bring when I travel, but I was afraid to let go of what I owned. One night, that was shortly after I started believing and praying, I saw something, it wasn't like a dream, but I'm not sure what else to call it. I was in my room on my bed, I saw the doll on the shelve that I really liked, something communicated with me almost telepathically. I knew it told me to sell it, I also saw my body and it was really light in the dark room. Like I saw nothing but light on myself.

Next morning I only told my husband about the part with the doll and not my body, but he said that this is what happens when you get too much into believes, they manipulate your mind. But wasn't I manipulated by the things I owned?

What are your thoughts on this? Have you had something similar happen to you? In my heart I felt this wasn't like anything else I saw.

As you get older, you'll understand that we all serve a god of some sort. Either the god of possessions, or power and influence (popularity), or money, or drugs...something is more important to us than anything else.

The Christian Bible says that when you become a follower of Christ, then you should be willing to give up everything or anything else. Not that you will have to, but you should be willing to. Because you realize that possessions, especially, are temporary and easily lost or destroyed, but God and his love for you will never leave....unless you walk away from it.

@SWisGoingWoke And like Triangles said, that the dolls had "chained her from what is important", I would like for her to elaborate on that if she wouldn't mind?

@Silverwings sure, but it's hard to explain for me. Sometimes the things you own start to own you, you can't think outside of the world of possessions when you are deep into it. I always told myself "I will stop buying stuff after I get this" but it never stopped. Like this it was with dolls, I thought I needed them everywhere with me in my life.

My sister used to collect dolls

Do you think you are addicted to buying?

@Silverwings yes, I'm not sure if I am still because it hasn't been so long since I returned to my faith, but I am not tempted to buy anything for myself since and I don't want to return to that. All I can say is that it made me miserable and confused from inside. I hope I can sell everything that owned me, if not I might as well donate it.
