My sister Krystal was telling me about a music producer she was working with. She was telling me how well everything is going with her music, but something didn't seem right to me. I asked her what was really going on and she told me that this producer had actually raped her and that she has to have sex with him to get him to work with her.
I was so mad and confused for many reasons. I couldn't believe this guy was so crooked. I was confused because my sister was subjecting herself to this even though she didn't have to. And I was asking her about this guy because I was supposed to start working with him with my music. I was so angry!
She just kept confessing and I knew that I couldn't work with him because of this information. I don't remember what happened after this.
IRL I have been approached by my friend to join this Christian singing group. I hadn't given her an answer, but i believe this is my answer. Please pray for me to deal with this the right way.

In reading about this dream you had, a number of things stand out to me. One is the inclusion of your sister, which doesn't seem relevant to the real life situation (unless she is in this group already?) Another is obviously the rape and sexual overtones of the whole thing. And it being directed at your sister makes the act that much more disturbing (and strikes me as the only purpose for her inclusion). While God will certainly take us out of our comfort zone, this seems more disturbing that uncomfortable.
If this were simply a warning from God, there are tons of other ways that he could have shown you not to join the singing group. The whole thing just sounds supremely out of character for our heavenly Dad.
So here's my working theory: The enemy can see your gifts, can see a gift of song and worship for instance, and then sees your friend invite you to a group where God can unleash a gifting like that. In response to this invitation they slime up your sleep with this dream that seems to be purposed at causing the most intense anger and disturbing images that they can think of (something like that happening to my sister is about the most disturbing thing I can think of) Basically the dream seems to jive more with what the enemy does, which is steal, kill, and destroy.
Another thing that makes me think this is not only the presence of qualities associated with the enemy, but the absence of qualities associated with God. Does anything in the dream exibit the fruits of the spirit of God? Galations 5:22-23. In this dream I see not a trace of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness or self-control. The way this dream was presented just doesn't seem to line up with the character of God.
Father I pray you would give dissernment in this situation.

Great observance Dustin!
Lynn, on a side note - I would seek the Lord in prayer as Dustin suggested and I would seek the Word for confirmation. When the Lord leads it will be confirmed two or three times.
God bless!

One thing to think about is sometimes God uses very graphic descriptions and language to show fort the abominations and destruction that take place (ie the book of Lamentations).
I believe the dream seems to be characteristic of the "Christian" music industry. It rapes the church and demands that she sleeper herself out, all in the name of mammon. Many times the giftings and anointing that comes through the Holy Ghost is exploited by the secular record companies and waved in front of other Christians in order to make a quick buck. Sometimes the record companies that are "Christian" companies see just as bad or worse than the secular companies.
I myself am in college training to learn how to run a recording studio. One of my teachers recorded some Christian artist doing gospel music. This studio persuaded the artist to hire in musicians to make the album sound better. Why might this be? MONEY! MONEY!! MONEY!!! This was done in order to sell more albums. What are the motives of the group? Do they desire to worship God in spirit and in truth, or do they want to make records and cds and become famous? God desires the worshipers to worship him in spirit and in truth, but a lot of us get carried away with the image of the world, like being famous, making cds to sell, going on tour. and we lose sight of the real purpose which is to worship God. Also this dream could be a warning to beware of the spirit of the age that dwells in the Christian music scene.
The world wants the church to sleeper itself out and sell everything. Could this dream possibly be about just that? Pray and ask about the motives of the group you are possibly joining to see whether it is worldly ambition or the Holy Ghost. Also as NOTW said, seek confirmation about joining the group, and seek the Lord to find if this dream is about joining the group.
God Bless. Grace be unto you and Peace!!!

Thanks everyone for your insight.......I haven't gone to a rehearsal yet because they will restart in about a week. My friend gave me his website, but whatever she gave me was wrong. I will definitely be in prayer, prayer, and more prayer about this because I don't want to be apart of anything that isn't about the Lord. I pray for clarity on this.
I also didn't even think that this could be from the enemy but now that Dustin put it out there....I need to pray from all angles on this one. Thanks once again.
