Charles R. Fox - Night Vision: Making Sense of Supernatural Dream Encounters

E NDORSEMENTS

I am sincerely grateful for the work that Charles Fox has put into his latest project, Night Vision. This is a much-needed element for the Body of Christ. Establishing a biblical foundation to understanding dreams and how God can use them is extremely important for our current culture that can easily be swayed by an enemy posing as a good thing, but not a God thing. Through Night Vision, Charles has constructed a phenomenal book with real life examples that helps any reader grasp a further understanding, knowledge, and wisdom concerning how God can speak to us through the night. This is a must-have book for anyone who desires to grow in their walk with the Lord!

This is an excellent book on God-given dreams. It is easy to read yet profound. Dr. Foxs work deserves a place in seminary and Bible college courses for its balanced, biblical, practical, and clear focus. I have known Dr. Fox for almost three decades. During all those years he has shown himself to walk in integrity and consistent spiritual perception. His new book on dreams demands serious attention to those interested in the God who communicates.

Throughout Scripture, we see God speaking to His people through dreams and visions. The God we encounter in the Bible is still very much at work in our lives and world today, and He longs to communicate with us in that same way. Charles Foxs new book Night Vision will help you grow in your journey of dreaming with God and give you the tools to unpack and understand what Hes saying to you at night.

F OREWORD

Charles Foxs new book, Night Vision: Making Sense of Supernatural Dream Encounters, is an informative study regarding spiritual dreams. Dr. Fox from Regent University in Renewal Studies provides biblical insights regarding dreams. Examples of dreams from both the Old Testament and New Testament are provided. He points out how the Bible provides discernment between dreams that are from God, from demonic sources, or from the human spirit resulting often from unresolved issues, conflicts, and concerns. He provides an entire chapter to deal with counterfeit or deceptive dreams. In this chapter he also deals with dark/discouraging dreams and how to handle them. Dr. Fox provides insight in how to interpret the many different symbols in our dreams.

Dr. Fox presents twenty-one dreams that were significant in his life. He emphasizes the importance of the context of dreams, which he provides, the dream itself, and then the interpretation of the dream and the significance it had upon his life. This was a learning experience for me. His stories of how God led him in making decisions and kept him from making mistakes through his dreams were encouraging.

It was an interesting read that was not overly academic but much more a personal self-disclosure of Dr. Foxs learning curve. Especially intriguing to me was how God used prophecy and dreams to lead him to his wife and to break up with his girlfriend before he met his wife. Dreams that helped him with his children, warning about problems in his church that would have happened if he hadnt been warned not to appoint someone to key leadership, about revival, about drugs, a warning about a famous pastor who was morally compromised and doctrinally unorthodox and to stay his distance from the pastor, dreams pointing to directions regarding spiritual warfare, positive dreams, dreams indicating the importance of obedience, a comforting dream for his most painful experience in life, dreams that let him know about a student who was in financial need, a dream that would give Dr. Fox more faith for defeating the demonic attacks upon his life, and a dream that would encourage him regarding the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
