BOOK REVIEW: Night Visions by Noreen R. Battle

The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.“ – Matthew 6:22

I have read many books on understanding dreams and visions from a biblical perspective. Most were filled with extensive instruction, tremendous revelation, prophetic messages to the congregation, and/or practical examples that exercise discernment. I have never, however, read a book that actually demonstrates how God uses dreams and visions in the lives of his people without the aforementioned areas typical in the apostolic-prophetic community.

Author Noreen R. Battle has managed to do just that in the recently released title, Night Visions. In it, she chronicles her life long journey of dreaming with God by sharing “specific dreams” that helped shape her destiny; and then by referencing key scriptural passages that reveal exactly what these supernatural experiences revealed to her in the course of her life. This approach, at least to me, is extremely unique.

Self-sabotage takes on many forms in our lives as scribes, artisans and just plain people of God. It is often drenched in chronic procrastination, extreme excuse making, a flurry of endless unfruitful activity and a host of other bomb-shells focused on self-directed implosion that work wonders in turning dreams and hope to dust.

 

How do I know? Well, because I have had to overcome them. I had to realize that God isn’t a time waster. He IS a finisher. Me, on the other hand, not so much without Him. I knew that if I was going to finish what he had entrusted to me that I had to do it in His strength — not my own. That meant Theresa had to recognize self, work at defeating those “Theresa-habits” and allow God to have his way.
