Hearing God's Voice in DreamsA–Z symbolsImpepho: meaning in the Bible and in dreams
Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa
What is impepho?
Impepho is a wild herb (Helichrysum) that is dried and burned as incense in traditional African religion, to call on and communicate with the ancestors. It is often burned at the umsamo during ukuphahla.
In the Bible, impepho is understood to be tied to divining or familiar spirits, and God forbids seeking guidance from the dead (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).
In a dream, a believer using impepho (despite never using it in reality) points to falling into counterfeit worship or opening oneself to forces outside of God. The full meaning follows below.
