The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is quickly becoming the dream interpreters dream. I use is regularly to help confirm my dreams.

It’s a masterpiece that will become part of your private library. Thank you Adrian and Adam for your dedication and sacrifice in producing this outstanding book —just what we all needed.”

Adam and Adrian have done what few in today’s “microwave” culture are willing to do. They have painstakingly researched the topic of dream interpretation like no one else, to my knowledge, in history has. I believe this resource is a must have for every scholar or any person serious about understanding the way God speaks to us through dreams. Adam and Adrian, congratulations on a true masterpiece that I believe will stand the test of time throughout many generations.

Many times the Lord has spoken to us through dreams, but we would have difficulty knowing what the symbols mean to correctly interpret them. This carefully researched book has a full dictionary to help us interpret our dreams. The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is an incredible tool in showing us what God is speaking to us on a regular basis, and I would highly recommend it.

A fellow pastor from Canada gave me a gift of The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions by Adrian Beale and Adam F. Thompson of Australia. They, like myself, realized the importance of listening to the voice of God today through dreams and visions, but also like myself, were unable to obtain a textbook untainted apart from an occult background. God led them to prepare the above text over a four-year period, based on true Evangelical and Bible-grounded background, and made it available in 2008. Following a 10 chapter “help” in dream and vision interpretation, they have then added 101 Sample Dream and Vision Interpretations, based on a Metaphor Dictionary of some 2000 most common Biblically based Metaphors, and also a People and Place Name Dictionary.

I have very thoroughly studied the 10 initial chapters and spent some time also in their other helps. It is my conviction that God has raised up these two brothers in these last days for a most helpful enlargement upon the tribe of Ze-bulun and for evangelism strengthened by “signs following” through a correct method of interpreting dreams and visions. They like myself do not see The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions alone as a cure-all. but as part of a package of a number of powerful Revival Principles.

This is an important book for the Body of Christ and has been a profound blessing both to me personally and to many in our church. It serves as a powerful key to a deeper level of relationship with God as it awakens a hunger to hear more from Him and opens a door to revelation previously ignored. I used to believe that I would hear from God in dreams only on relatively rare occasions, and this book has helped me realize how limited my awareness of God’s voice in dreams has been. How wonderful to now recognize the voice of God, not only speaking prophetically to me, but revealing my heart and the mysteries of the Kingdom through my nightly dreams! The Scripture warns us to not to despise prophecy (see 1 Thess. 5:20), and this book is a valuable tool in helping the Body of Christ to actively value the voice of God.

This is an excellent book. I can’t praise it enough. It takes dream interpretation onto a whole new level. I use it everyday. I carry it all over the world with me. It makes dream and vision interpretation quick, simple, and accessible for all Christians.

The Metaphor Dictionary alone is worth its weight in gold. The absolute best I have ever seen. If you had offered me $10,000 or this book, I would have taken the book. It’s that powerful.

For a prophetic person, this book is like being handed a speedboat in place of a canoe, a red Ferrari instead of a bicycle, a spanking new touch screen iPod instead of an old record collection. It’s that good.

Please do yourself and the Body of Christ a favor. Buy a dozen copies, keep at least two, and give the rest away to family and friends and anyone who’s ever had a dream. It’ll change their lives. They will be eternally grateful.

I believe this book is God’s gift to the prophetic community worldwide. I am excited at the powerful upgrade it brings to equipping the saints. Thank You, Jesus! Well done, Adrian and Adam!

Dear Adam, I am in Brisbane at the moment with our TV equipment suppliers. Your ministry was a blessing to my church during your recent visit to LAE.

I have been tremendously blessed by your short ministry. Susan always uses your Divinity Code book as a Kingdom tool to guide her as she interprets the dreams that she has. Our church people are still discussing the impact of your ministry with us. Some people who have been complacent and relaxed have been tremendously ignited in the Spirit to run the race. Spiritual hunger was imparted and the people want more of the things of the Spirit. They have come to understand clearly that God speaks to them through dreams and visions today.

The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is such a vital tool in the hands of the ordinary believer that the Holy Ghost can use to guide them as they interpret dreams. I would recommend this book to any believer who is moving into the supernatural as the Church is advancing into the apostolic era. This is one of the best books I have on my shelf. God speaks to people using dreams throughout the Scriptures. God speaks through seven channels including directly through the Bible, Gifts of the Spirit, Fivefold Ministry, Audible voice of the Spirit, Inward witness, Angelic messengers, and of course dreams and Visions. Therefore, The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is a must-read for those who thirst and hunger for the prophetic dreams that the Lord is speaking to His Church. As we read this book may we seek the God the Father who gives us His dreams.

If God used dreams and their interpretation to shape world superpowers through the likes of Joseph and Daniel, how much more today do we need to have understanding of such matters when He is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh through an abundance of dreams and visions. I believe that The Divinity

Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is an invaluable resource in equipping us to decode our dreams while inspiring us to go deeper in the things of the Spirit.

This book has been a huge blessing to me and many in our church who have seen their lives impacted as they begin to unlock the things that God has been speaking to them, but previously did not understand. Dream interpretation is not a “spiritual fad” for I have personally witnessed the Holy Spirit use it to expose secrets of the heart, bring repentance and the resulting breakthroughs.

I have found it to be prophetic, inspiring, meticulously researched, and scripturally sound and would recommend it to anyone who is hungry to go deeper in their spiritual journey.

I have been so very blessed through the book, The Divinity Code to Understand-ingYour Dreams and Visions. I have always been interested in how God speaks to us through dreams, but have rarely understood what He is saying to me personally through them. I have bought other dream books, but was frustrated at the limited symbol interpretation.

Since buying The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions, I feel that a new realm of intimacy and communication has opened up to me—the comprehensive interpretations have opened up my dreams in an incredible way. I have been so encouraged by God, but also so blessed that He has warned me and shown me the error in some of my thinking. I encourage everyone to buy this book and especially to read the teachings before the actual dream symbol interpretations. The teachings on dreams is excellent and a valuable resource for us all. I love it that this book does not present itself as the ultimate authority, but stresses again and again that it is a resource to be used always with the help of the Holy Spirit.

My three favorite books—1. The Bible, 2. My Concordance, and 3. The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions . . . . it’s that good!”

Tess Bartsch

Beloved daughter of the King!

This practical tool is well thought out and reads with ease. From the very first sentence I was captivated as I was taken into another person’s world and could relate to the very story being shared. The early chapters lay solid theological foundations into the realm of the Spirit and teaching on the “how to” of dream interpretation, giving the reader insight into many examples as they are shared throughout the book.

I have not found to date a tool that is so well referenced and utilized in my personal library on dream and vision interpretation. I use it almost on a daily basis as I am able to sit and write out my dreams and the dreams that others share with me in a sequenced fashion, allowing the Holy Spirit to show me the metaphorical or literal meaning to abstract aspects of my dreams, allowing a vivid and concise interpretation.

One such dream was one I had recurring as a child. After three decades, I now have some answers to questions that have been shelved in my memory bank. The Divinity Code to Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is a highly valuable tool and provides much insight into situations, releasing life to the hearer.

Well done to Adam and Adrian for your labor of love! I believe this book serves as a mighty weapon of discernment. The words are living and powerful and sharper than any two edged sword.

Super-Abounding Grace to you,

I think that I have not found two men that have ministered more to me in the area of dreams and visions than any other I have encountered in my 40 years of ministry. I recommend that you read their book, (a great resource for dreams and visions), and attend their conference. It will bring clarity and direction to all who walk with God.

FOREWORD

The realm of seeing into the mysteries of the Kingdom of God through dreams, visions, and revelations has been accelerated by the Holy Spirit in this generation. Although the aspect of God speaking to His people through dreams has been found all throughout Church and biblical history and is nothing new, we are witnessing an increase of individuals receiving God-inspired dreams. The Lord is definitely speaking through dreams today, and child and adult alike are enjoying profound insights into the heart of God, prophetic glimpses into the future, and clear direction for their lives through this avenue of revelation.

In The Divinity Code To Understanding Your Dreams and Visions, you will find practical teaching and understanding on the subject of dreams, their interpretation, and their possible applications. The Divinity Code To Understanding Your Dreams and Visions is not only a great book on the subject that offers knowledge, instruction, and encouragement to the reader, but it is an encyclopedia of knowledge and a handbook for symbolism that will benefit dreamers tremendously as they seek to accurately interpret and apply their dreams.

I met both Adrian and Adam while ministering at their church in Australia. They are humble and sincere men who long to see dreamers gain the understanding they need to accurately work with their dreams. They have helped many grow in dream interpretation. Through their teaching seminars and workshops, they have taught church congregations and hungry believers on the subject and have prayed for many to receive an increase of dreams, visions, and revelations. When I met Adam and discerned the authentic call on his life in the area of dreams, I had him pray for me. As a result, I am dreaming more and understanding more. He shared with me how many who attend their workshops or who read The Divinity Code To Understanding Your Dreams and Visions begin to dream and have supernatural interpretation after receiving instruction.

If you desire to dream or increase in your ability to interpret and apply them, I highly recommend The Divinity Code To Understanding Your Dreams and Visions. It is a reference book that you will want to keep in your study or library. It is a gift. So dream on dreamer; may you discover the voice of the Lord and the seer dimension in clearer ways than ever before.

Discovering Dreams and Visions

Chapter One

Dreams: a Controversial Subject

By Adrian Beale

Before writing this book I had the following dream:

I was wearing a blue shirt with a pen in the shirt pocket. The pen had leaked out dark-blue ink, causing a stain about the size of a quarter. A male friend pointed the stain out. The pen had leaked because the nib had not been retracted.

The interpretation of this dream was that I was going to write material that will offend some people because the subject would be highly controversial, and in writing, I would not hold back. The stain speaks of that offense. The dark blue coloration speaks of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in what was to be written.

The book you are now holding in your hands is the result of that dream and four years of weekly fellowship with the co-author, Adam Thompson. The same dream was repeated six months later. In repeating the dream, God was reminding me of the importance of this message.

(An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the sample dream and vision section of this book. See dream 34.)

An Important Preface

Before we endeavor to explore the subject of dreams and visions, I would like to preface our journey with a Scripture that was never more relevant, “He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him” (Prov. 18:13).

If until this time you have held some preconceived opinions about the nature of dreams and visions, I would ask that you put these on hold and openly and humbly come to see what the Word of God has to say on the matter (see James 1:21) before you pass judgment. All of us need to be honest enough to admit that our different backgrounds and upbringings have built within us preconceptions and prejudices that potentially will keep us from moving into all that God has for us. This is why the apostle Paul pleads with us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (see Rom. 12:2).

The Last Days

On the day of Pentecost, Peter aligned the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem with an earlier prophecy made by Joel the prophet (see Joel 2:28-32). In the midst of quoting Joel’s words, Peter declared,

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17;

See Joel 2:28).

This verse proclaims that in the last days God will pour out His Spirit on all of humanity, and the result will be dreams, visions, and prophecy. In quoting Joel, Peter not only associated the events of Pentecost with Joel’s earlier prophecy, he also confirmed it to be the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy. In doing that, he also indirectly announced that the “last days” commenced from that moment and will be completed when Christ returns. What that means is that we are in the last days. And we cannot get more last days than these days, right? And yet, if we are honest, as a whole the Body of Christ struggles with dreams (particularly) and visions as being from God and for us today. The message of this book is that God is speaking; He is speaking to believers and unbelievers alike by His Spirit, and this book is a wholesale call by the Spirit of God for the Body of Christ to awaken spiritually and tune in to what He is saying.

The Gospels record that Jesus came to the nation of Israel—who was to be God’s chosen vessel to the world—and presented truths from the Father. He was God’s representative, and His credentials of signs and wonders affirmed His ambassadorial authority. However, the scribes and Pharisees who claimed to have a relationship with God did not want anything to do with God the Son. Regardless of the signs that confirmed His message, they remained hard-hearted and missed the message He brought to the nation. For the scribes and Pharisees, Jesus was a thorn in their sides because He interfered with their political and selfish agendas and exposed their religious facades. So when they could ignore Him no longer, they killed Him.

Some of us today are like the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. We claim to have a relationship with Jesus, yet ignore the current ambassador, the Holy Spirit. Just as they ignored Jesus, claiming to know the Father, we claim to know Jesus and ignore the Spirit!

Others are opting out of the spotlight of what God wants to do in this generation by choosing to live in the past or the future. It is an amazing thing that we can believe for yesterday, we can believe for tomorrow, yet we struggle with faith for today, and yet that is what faith is, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb.11:1). And further, it is meant to be our everyday experience, “. . . The just shall live by faith” (Rom. 1:17).

However, if the truth were known, we do not like to live by faith. We would much prefer to have our security in front of us or in the bank. As a consequence, on the one hand, we have become like Gideon (see Judg. 6:13), looking at past events of the Bible and somehow accepting what happened in those times, but, so that it does not interfere with our reality today, we deal with it by putting it into some dispensational phase of what God was doing “back then.” And on the other hand, we are also like Pharaoh who, when asked, “When do you want God to move?” said, “How about tomorrow” (see Exod. 8:9-10). In distancing ourselves in this way, we deny that we have ignored the Spirit of God, and we also pacify our consciences with the fact that some day in the future God will again move in power. For the most part, we don’t deny God did what He did in the Bible, but what we struggle with is what He is doing today.

Therefore, unfortunately, we have positioned ourselves to be in much the same place as the Pharisees, who were not privy to the meanings behind Jesus’ teachings through parables. We, like them, are missing truth from the Spirit of God through discrediting our dreams as not from God. We think, Surely, God would speak more clearly and precisely than through those hazy ramblings we experience. In doing so, we have shut ourselves off to God’s voice through dreams and have become like hardened waysides, and as a consequence, “ . . . the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown . . .” in our hearts (Matt. 13:19). A simple test to see whether this is the case would be to ask ourselves whether we can personally remember the last three dreams we have had?

In comparison, the proponents of the New Age and some schools of psychoanalysis have embraced dreams in their hunger for answers to life’s questions. However, being without the Holy Spirit, who is the author (see Acts 2:17) and interpreter (see Gen. 40:8) of dreams, they are nonetheless still in the dark— blind leaders of the blind. Today, some churches are not even aware that God speaks through dreams. We obviously don’t know the importance of dreams in the plans and purposes of God, and we have forgotten that the promise of the Holy Spirit brings with it God’s prophetic guidance through dreams and visions. Sadly, we look at the equivalent of Nebuchadnezzar’s magicians today and see them dabbling with dreams and interpretation and are turned off. We have thrown the baby out with the bathwater when God is calling for an army of Daniels to arise!

Listen to what the Bible says about prophets in the Old Testament,

Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream. Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house. I speak with him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings . . . (Numbers 12:6-8).

In these verses God is making a point to Aaron and Miriam, who were complaining about Moses. God, in vindicating Moses before them, shows exactly how prophets other than Moses received their revelation. He says it comes to them in the dark sayings of a dream or vision. The word here for dark sayings is the Hebrew word chidah, which literally means “a puzzle, riddle, or parable.” That God likes to communicate using parables is further displayed in His Word through Hosea, when He says,

I have also spoken to [you by] the prophets, and I have multiplied visions [for you] and [have appealed to you] through parables acted out by the prophets (Hosea 12:10 AMP).

Not only did God speak to the prophets in the Old Testament using parables, He also spoke through the prophets by having them act out His Word using parable-type messages. For example, Hosea married a harlot to show Israel’s unfaithfulness to God (see Hos. 1:2); Ezekiel had to dig through a wall in the sight of the house of Israel to convey that they would go into captivity (see Ezek. 12:5); and Jeremiah was to break an earthen flask in the sight of the elders of Jerusalem to show how God was going to break Jerusalem (see Jer. 19:10-13). Later we find in the Gospels that Jesus Himself used more than 50 parables to teach the truths of the Kingdom of God. In fact, parables were His preferred teaching method! Should it be a surprise to us that God is still using parables today?

The Bible says in the last days God will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and the result of that outpouring is prophecy, visions, and dreams (see Acts 2:17). Those days did not cease with the death of the 12 apostles, as some think, and those days are not in the distant future. Those days are these days! God is speaking in dreams and visions today. The countless dreams and visions that God has allowed the authors to interpret are testament to this fact. The information and counsel disclosed in these dreams in most cases could only be from the Spirit of God.

Human beings know instinctively that God is a miracle-working God. And this is confirmed as we read the Bible. The Bible also says that God has not changed (see Mal. 3:6) and that He is the same today as He has ever been (see Heb. 13:8). But the truth we really need to take to heart is that He is still the miracle-working God for those who have ears to hear (see Matt. 13:9).

Are We Hearing What God Is Saying?

A pastor friend came to me with the following dream,

I saw some terrorists on a gallows about to be hung; at the same time I heard commentary about how these terrorists were planning to escape and then attack. I watched as one of the terrorists rolled off the platform with an accompanied explosion, and then I heard gun-fire. There were wounded soldiers sitting in pews looking on; then one of the soldiers (he had his hand in a sling) got up and fired his machine gun back at the terrorists above the heads of the soldiers in the pews. I had some concerns that he may have hit others in the pews because he was careless in shooting back.

This dream is a significant warning. It speaks of potential problems created by false converts (the terrorists) who do not truly come to the cross of Christ. The gallows represent the cross and avoidance of the hangman’s noose says that they have not truly died at Calvary and thus avoid its demands on the human heart. These are seen as terrorists because they are used by the enemy to sow discord and strife in the Body of Christ. They are the equivalent to the tares in Christ’s parable of the wheat and tares (see Matt. 13:25, 27-28).

The explosion speaks about an incident that is threatening to flare up, which will be followed by words fired back and forth. Soldiers in the pews show the Church as God’s spiritual army. They are shown to be wounded because they have not fully dealt with the hurts and disappointments of the past.

The soldier with a sling firing back is possibly a picture of a leader who is not fully whole himself reacting to the words that follow the incident with the potential of hurting others within the ministry.

This is a warning to be aware of false converts, a reminder to work through past hurts, and also a caution not to react to everything that is said in and around the Church.

(An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the dream and vision sample section of this book. See dream 43.)

If you are in leadership in the Body of Christ, chances are, because of your busy schedule, God will take the opportunity to speak to you during your downtime (sleep). Would you have missed this message from God? Thankfully the ministry involved in the above dream had ears to hear what the Holy Spirit was saying and was subsequently prepared for the potential danger.

Joseph and Daniel

It was the Holy Spirit who empowered Joseph to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, “And Pharaoh said to his servants, ‘Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?’ ” (Gen. 41:38). And it was the Holy Spirit, acknowledged by Nebuchadnezzar, who gave Daniel the incredible insight he possessed.

Belteshazzar [Daniel], chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit ofthe Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation (Daniel 4:9).

Joseph and Daniel were especially endowed with the Spirit of God. They were men God placed specifically at the right place and at the right time to be used through dreams, visions, and their interpretation. The beauty of Joel’s prophecy in the opening verse of this chapter is that God is pouring out the same Spirit that Joseph and Daniel were partakers of, but in greater measure (see John 14:12) on you and me, today!

Therefore, if we are going to be used of God to the measure He has planned, we need to recognize that our dreams are deeply significant in the plan of God for our lives. Like He did with Daniel and Joseph, God, through dreams, is speaking and preparing us for what He has specifically brought us forth to accomplish at this time. I believe there is a mission for you and me that will not be fully realized unless we move on the instruction we receive through dreams. Likewise, if we are going to understand what God is saying to us in these dream messages, we need to repent of our insensitivity to the Holy Spirit and to cultivate a relationship with Him.

Jesus and Nicodemus

When Nicodemus visited Jesus, he had hardly gotten through his opening lines when Jesus nailed him! Nicodemus says, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him” (John 3:2). Quick as a flash, Jesus replies, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3 NASB).

If it seems to you that Jesus answered a different question than what Nicodemus was asking, you’re on the ball. Actually Nicodemus hadn’t even got to his question when—wham! Jesus goes to the heart of the matter. Nicodemus is a Jew of Jews and recognized by Jesus as the teacher of Israel (see John 3:10). The question on every true Jew’s heart was, When is the Messianic kingdom coming? There is too much in Jesus’ response to go into depth here, but let us just note a couple of things. First, He is speaking to someone who really knows the Old Testament, and second, He said you can only see the Kingdom if you are born again. Nicodemus is still not even on the same page because he replies, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” (John 3:4).

Jesus is speaking spiritually, and Nicodemus is thinking naturally. That is exactly what happens when God speaks to us in dreams and visions. God plumbs and divides our hearts or reveals Kingdom dynamics, and we are left thinking, What was that about? He speaks spiritually, and we tend to think naturally. This story goes further, as Jesus responds by saying, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God” (John 3:5 NASB).

Here it is important to understand that now Jesus has moved beyond just seeing the Kingdom to entering it. Remember who Jesus is speaking to here: the teacher of Israel, a person soaked in the Old Testament. Who in the Old

Testament saw, but did not enter? That person would have to be Moses. Why didn’t he enter? He wasn’t able to enter because he was disobedient or insensitive to the Spirit of God at the waters of Meribah (see Num. 20:12). Who was allowed to enter? That would have to be Joshua and Caleb and a new generation not bound to Egypt (the world) in their thinking. Of Joshua, it is said that he was “a man in whom is the Spirit” (Num. 27:18). And of Caleb, the Bible records, “he has a different spirit in him” (Num. 14:24). Who else was unable to enter? All those who did not believe God after He had brought them out of Egypt and who continued only to see things in the natural (see Num. 13:33).

What is this saying? It is saying there is a generation of people who know the Word of God, who are born again, and who see God’s Kingdom on the pages of the Bible, but who fail to enter what God has for them because they are only prepared to think naturally, or rather, not prepared to think spiritually (see Isa. 55:8-9; Rom. 8:5-6). Now we know this is not you, or you would not be reading this book. However, there is a group of people in danger of dying in the spiritual training ground that is designed to teach them Kingdom dynamics (see Deut. 8:2-3), unless they are prepared to be led by the Spirit of God into the Promised Land in the next phase of their journey. These are those still holding on to past tradition and religious practices. If we deny His leading, like Nicodemus, we will remain spiritual babes, regardless of our Bible knowledge or title within the Church (see Rom. 8:14).

Think about it. If the characters in the Bible had ignored the guidance they received specifically through dreams, there would be:

•    No Isaac (see Gen 20:3, 6-7)

•    No Israel (see Gen 41:37-41; 45:5; 50:20)

•    No Solomon’s kingdom (see 1 Kings 3:5-15)

•    Less understanding of future world events (see Dan 2; 4)

•    No Jesus (see Matt 1:20-24; 2:13,22)

Now, if there had been no Jesus, there would be no salvation through His death upon the cross. If there had been no salvation, there would be no release of the Holy Spirit. If there is no means of salvation and no release of the Holy Spirit, humankind is without eternal life and we are forever doomed to be permanently separated from the Presence of God. Aren’t you glad that someone took dreams seriously?

Old and Young Men?

Doubt about whether we are supposed to receive dreams may be created by the age criteria in Joel’s prophecy. So it would be useful to clarify that question and at the same time present what is perhaps the key reason we ignore the Holy Spirit’s guidance through dreams. When the Bible says, “. . . Your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams” (Acts 2:17), it is not talking about natural age. It is speaking spiritually, just as Jesus did with Nicodemus. Dreams occur when we are asleep. In spiritual terms, sleep is the same as death.

Do you remember when Jesus went to resurrect Lazarus? He said, “Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up” (John 11:11). When the disciples heard these words, they thought He was speaking naturally. They said, “Lord, ifhe sleeps he will get well” (John 11:12). Jesus had to spell it out for them, “Lazarus is dead” (see John 11:13). Jesus was talking about cold, hard physical death, but He called it sleep.

Now to turn this around; when we have dreams, we are asleep. That is, we are, spiritually speaking, as dead people. To put it another way, a dream comes to us in the soulish faculties of our minds, and that is, spiritually speaking, to the “old self” (see Rom. 6:6)—the “old men” of this prophecy. Now the old self is dead to the things of God. This is why this chapter begins with the acknowledgement that believers and unbelievers alike receive dreams from the Spirit of God. Both believers and unbelievers receive dreams from God through their “old self.” (Many versions of the Bible use “old man,” but that term is not intended as gender specific.) The fact that it is the old self, or our soul, that receives the dreams we dream is perhaps the main reason we deny the dreams we experience as being from God. Think about it. Dreams relate what is happening in the spirit realm to the natural person. They can only be interpreted if the spiritual person is tuned in to the Spirit of God!

Visions, on the other hand, are direct communications to the regenerated spirit of people and, as such, are only for believers. The text calls them “young men,” those who are hungry to do God’s will and who are consequently empowered by the Spirit of God. Let us confirm this scripturally. David the psalmist writes, “Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Ps. 103:5). Why does David make reference to the eagle here? He does so because he is not talking about natural sustenance. He is saying that when we are hungry for God, He supplies us with the living Word of God, and in receiving that, our spiritual selves (the eagle) are rejuvenated. Therefore, our spirit self is the “young man.”

Remember what the apostle Paul said about conversion? He said, “Therefore if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor. 5:17). Here both the old and the new self are contrasted for us. The old refers to our spiritually dead existence prior to coming to the cross of Christ, and the new talks about the birthing of our spirit person. Jesus said it like this, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3 NASB). In a discussion about those who receive visions, this Scripture alone is very pointed. Jesus Himself says we have to be “born again” to see!

Now, that baby spirit has to grow, and it grows by hungering for God’s will and by imbibing the Word of God. Over a period of time, by applying what it takes in, it becomes a “young man.” As John the apostle confirms, “. . . I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you . . .” (1 John 2:14). Finally, the apostle Paul removes any ambiguity that it is the spirit person that is growing within us by saying, “. . . Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day” (2 Cor. 4:16).

So we can openly see that physical age has nothing to do with the reception of dreams or visions. It is all about the receptivity and development of the spirit person. Dreams come to everyone—Christian and non-Christian alike. How they are understood depends on whether the spirit person is “switched on.” Visions, on the other hand, are only for believers hungering after God’s will and applying His Word.

What about unbelievers who receive visions? I believe that unbelievers who receive visions do so through occultic means, such as drugs and divination. I know people who have had extensive visions under the influence of drugs. Drug use opens people up to the spirit realm of demonic deception. In fact, when you dig beneath the English translation of the Scriptures to the original languages, you discover that drug use is directly linked to witchcraft. The word sorceries in Revelation 9:21 is the Greek word, pharmakeia. This is the word from which we get the word pharmacy. Pharmakeia is translated as “witchcraft” in Paul’s list of works of the flesh to the Galatian church (see Gal. 5:20).

The Bible also shows that those operating under the influence of familiar spirits are empowered to see in the spirit realm. This is evident when Paul and Silas are thrown into prison for casting out a spirit of divination from a fortune-telling slave-girl in the Book of Acts. Luke, the writer of Acts says,

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation. ” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. ” And he came out that very hour (Acts 16:16-18).

After Paul had commanded the spirit to come out, the Scripture says,

But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities (Acts 16:19).

It is pretty obvious that it was the spirit within the slave-girl that gave her the ability to see in the spirit realm, and once he was removed, she was no longer able to receive her spiritual visions. This explanation adequately accounts for the reaction of the slave-girl’s masters, whose hope for further profit was taken away when the spirit was cast out of her.

Dreams Are Controversial

Yes, the subject of dreams and dream interpretation is one of great controversy within the Body of Christ. And some may fear that if we open ourselves to this method of guidance from God, it will put us into a position to be easily misled down some sidetrack away from the fundamental teachings of the Bible. However, it is both of the authors’ experience that the opposite is the truth. If the Church is going to embrace the Holy Spirit’s voice through dreams, it also has to be totally soaked in the Scriptures. It takes a balanced view of the whole of Scripture to interpret correctly, and therefore, the people who want to improve their interpretation skills have to be disciplined in Bible reading. They also have to believe and apply what they are reading. Rather than being led astray, embracing dreams as messages from God actually leads us deeper into the ways of God. This is because, through dreams, the Holy Spirit teaches the application of the principal of referencing (or linking truth with truth), as outlined within the Scriptures, “. . . the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual” (1 Cor. 2:13b).

Therefore, without a solid grounding in the Word of God, you cannot possibly know that what you are receiving is from God, let alone understand what it means. The Holy Spirit will only endorse God’s Word further through His voice in the night. If you hear anything contrary to God’s written Word, then it is not God who is speaking!

The Real Reason Dreams Are a Threat

The real basis of this controversy is the devil’s doing. The devil does not want the empowerment of God’s people through this channel of communication. He is always attempting to thwart the purposes of God. Listen to his voice through Peter as Jesus begins to reveal spiritual truth incomprehensible to the natural mind,

From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!” But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men” (Matthew 16:21-23).

Just as the devil used Peter’s personal agenda and limited outlook to challenge Christ, he still is using those whose security is not truly in God in an attempt to stifle God’s plans. If we have our security in anything other than Christ alone—position, money, power, recognition, religion, intellect, or acceptance— then the old self will come out fighting as soon as a spiritual truth is declared that threatens that security, “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit. . . and these are contrary to one another” (Gal. 5:17).

As in Peter’s case, often it is spiritual pride through which the devil is allowed to enter and attempt to coerce the Body of Christ away from God’s intended path. Moments before this rebuke, Peter had received the revelation that Jesus was “the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matt. 16:16-19). And following that gem from the Father, he was commended by Jesus as being blessed, told that he would be pivotal to the coming Kingdom and that he would be endowed with authority. What a promise! However, it was all too much for the would-be apostle. The devil had an entry point—Peter’s pride—and in the next breath, Peter takes it upon himself to correct Jesus.

If the devil can keep us blind to the fact that God is actually speaking through dreams, then he has effectively cut off one of the main channels of communication God has used for more than 4000 years to mobilize His troops. Doesn’t it seem strange to you that we would think that God, who has communicated for such a long time using dreams, would pull the plug on this means of communication, especially when He promised He would do it more?

Summary: Chapter 1

•    Hold off on making a judgment about dreams and visions until you’ve heard what the Bible has to say on the matter.

•    We are standing in the last days, which are marked by an outpouring of God’s Spirit.

•    The outpouring of the Spirit includes prophecy through dreams and visions.

•    The Holy Spirit is the current representative of the Godhead on earth today.

•    We can have a propensity to live in the past or in the future to avoid exercising faith today.

•    The call to live by faith is a call to hear what God is saying today.

•    As Christians, we are prone to “throw the baby out with the bathwater” because we see the New Age movement and psychoanalysis embrace dream interpretation for guidance.

•    Old Testament prophets heard God’s Word, as we do, through parable-type dreams and visions.

•    Jesus’ preferred teaching method was to use parables.

•    Christian leaders, because of their busyness, can expect God to speak to them in their down-time (sleep) through dreams and visions.

•    We will miss the current outpouring of the Spirit if we don’t have ears to hear.

•    Nicodemus shows us our own tendency to think naturally when God is speaking to us spiritually.

•    We will miss the voice of God for this generation if we, like Nicodemus, are only prepared to think naturally and miss the need to “listen” spiritually.

•    Dreams are for both the Christian and non-Christian; visions, on the other hand, are the domain of the believer.

•    The Holy Spirit teaches relating spiritual things with spiritual. Therefore, a solid understanding of the Bible is a prerequisite for accurate interpretation.

•    The devil uses the threat to personal agendas to cause the flesh to rise up and thwart the work of God.

•    God has used dreams and visions for more than 4,000 years as a means of guidance, so why should He stop now when He has said that He would do it more?

Chapter 2

Why Dreams Are So Important

By Adrian Beale

A Hidden Truth

Having laid a brief foundation in the previous chapter, we need to now expand upon that and explain why dreams are so important in the purposes of God before we can consider their individual functions. What I am about to share will initially challenge many Christians because it is a truth which is not commonly taught from our pulpits. What I ask you to do is be noble like the Bereans (see Acts 17:11) and go to your Bible and search to see what it says on the matter.

Let me set the scene and present my case scripturally. When Joseph, Jacob’s son, was 17 years of age, he dreamed two dreams which declared that his brothers and his parents would someday bow to him (see Gen. 37:5-11). His prideful boasting of this revelation, together with his father’s favoritism toward him, put him at enmity with his brothers who, as a consequence, sold him down the river to Egypt. The dreams that Joseph had dreamed lay dormant as he served as a slave and prisoner within Egypt.

In case you are unfamiliar with the story, here’s a brief recap. Joseph was eventually used to interpret two dreams that Pharaoh had dreamed. These showed that the nation of Egypt would experience seven years of plenty followed by seven years of the most severe famine (see Gen. 41:17-31). When Pharaoh heard Joseph’s interpretation and his advice in how to counter this forthcoming blight, he set Joseph as prime minister over the nation. And yes, you guessed it, his brothers came to Egypt to buy food and found themselves bowing unknowingly to the one they conspired against, just as it had been foretold in Joseph’s original dreams some 20 or so years earlier. Now what is remarkable about this incident is the way that it is recorded in the book of Psalms,

Moreover He called for a famine in the land; He destroyed all the provision of bread. He sent a man before them—Joseph—who was sold as a slave.

They hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him (Psalm 105:16-19).

Notice that it says that he was kept in prison “until the time that his word came to pass. ” What was Joseph’s word? His word was the dream he had received as a 17-year-old boy! Let me put that another way: Joseph’s dream was God’s word for him! Whoa!

Going Deeper

Now if we do our homework on this psalm, we will find out that two different Hebrew words are used in place of the English word word:

Until the time that his word [davar1] came to pass, The word [emrah^2] of the Lord tested him (Psalm 105:19).

However, if we dig a little deeper, we find that both of these words are used interchangeably for God’s Word throughout the Old Testament. There are numerous examples, but primarily using Psalm 119 I would like to show just a few to confirm what I am saying,

Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep Thy words [davar]. I intreated Thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to Thy word [emrah] (Psalm 119:57-58 KJV).

My soul fainteth for Thy salvation: but I hope in Thy word [davar]. Mine eyes fail for Thy word [emrah], saying, When wilt Thou comfort me? (Psalm 119:81-82 KJV)

Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of Thy word [davar]. I rejoice at Thy word [emrah], as one thatfindeth great spoil (Psalm 119:161-162 KJV).

We also find that davar, the particular word used to describe God’s Word to Joseph, is used when describing the Ten Commandments, “ . . . He wrote on the tablets the words [davar] of the covenant, the Ten Commandments [davar] (Exod. 34:28b).

Therefore, what I am suggesting is that dreams are part of God’s ongoing word to us. They are not the whole picture, but they accompany and augment what God is saying to us through His written word and prayer.

Let me now confirm what I am saying from another account within Scripture. When Jacob was fleeing because of death threats from his brother, Esau, he had an encounter with God at Bethel. The Bible records,

Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the Lord stood above it, and said:

“I am the Lord God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you ” (Genesis 28:12-15).

What a fantastic encouragement this dream must have been to the anxious traveler, Jacob, heading to an unfamiliar destination. When God is rounding off this encounter with Jacob, He promises that He will not leave him until He has completed what He has “spoken to” him. To put that another way, He says He will not leave him until He has completed “His word”to him. And what was His word to Jacob? It was the dream he had just been given.

So impacting was this word on Jacob that the marginal rendering of Genesis 29:1 in the King James Version, says, “Then Jacob lifted up his feet, and came to the land of the people of the East” (Gen. 29:1 KJV). The heaviness with which he left home had been completely stripped from him because he had a word from God. He didn’t think, I shouldn’t have eaten that pizza last night. No, he recognized God’s word when it came to him!

Dreams Teach

In Matthew 5-7, Jesus delivers what is called the Sermon on the Mount. Many regard this passage of Scripture as the Magna Carta of Kingdom living. In the midst of this passage, there is a well-known verse which says, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:33).

This verse speaks about getting things right in our hearts and allowing God to rule and reign there, and it promises that if we do so, God will provide for our needs. This is a challenging verse, particularly when the world and circumstance can be yelling for us to seek security everywhere else but in God.

Have you ever wondered, Where did Jesus gain such insight? Most of us forget that He had to learn spiritual truth like we do. The Bible reveals prophetically that He had a daily reading plan,

[The Servant of God says] The Lord God has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple [as one who is taught] (Isaiah 50:4 AMP).

The basis of Jesus’ teaching in Matthew, which is a pillar for the Kingdom of God, is actually a dream, a dream that Solomon had over 950 years earlier,

At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask! What shall I give you?”. . . “Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days” (1 Kings 3:5, 9-13).

We discover here that dreams have a capacity to teach at a number of levels. It is not just the recipient of the dream that benefits from it. Solomon’s dream here is literal, in the sense that he doesn’t have to decode the message. And Jesus’ teaching based on this dream is a great example of succinctly relating the truth outlined in a dream. However, the majority of dreams are metaphors, parables, and riddles. Therefore, someone has to interpret them. If that person is not the recipient of the dream, then he or she also learns from the spiritual truth taught through the dream, as do all those who are subsequently exposed to its teaching. When interpreting dreams, Adam (co-author) and I have both been convicted about things needing to be addressed in our own lives that God has pinpointed through dreams given to others.

Joseph

The classic example of this in Scripture is in the life ofJoseph. Most people read the life ofJoseph at a very superficial level, colored by the Children’s Bible account of this “perfect” specimen of the human race. Joseph was just like you and me; he was not superhuman, without weaknesses. In some things Joseph was exemplary, like when he flees the temptation presented by Potiphar’s wife. However, just like us, he had issues that needed addressing. God was purifying him in prison, as we read earlier, “The word of the Lord tested him” (Ps. 105:19). The word tested used here is the Hebrew word tsaraph, which means, “literally or figuratively to refine (as gold and silver is refined by fire) in order to separate it from the impurities within.” If Joseph was perfect, then why did he need refining?

While Joseph was in prison, he interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh’s butler and baker. Hopefully you are familiar with the story. The butler began,

Behold, in my dream a vine was before me, and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes. Then Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and placed the cup in Pharaoh’s hand (Genesis 40:9-11).

Joseph interpreted the dream, saying,

The three branches are three days. Now within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put Pharaoh’s cup in his hand according to the former manner, when you were his butler (Genesis 40:12-13).

The baker thought that sounded pretty good so he likewise offloaded his dream for interpretation. He said,

I also was in my dream, and there were three white baskets on my head. In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head (Genesis 40:16-17).

And Joseph interpreted his dream, saying,

The three baskets are three days. Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your

head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from you (Genesis 40:18-19).

And sure enough, three days later it happened just as the dreams had prophesied. The butler was restored, and the baker was hanged. You would think that was enough to get Joseph out of confinement; after all he now has an ally in Pharaoh’s household. But that wasn’t to be the case. Why? Simply because God wasn’t through purifying him yet. The next thing we read is, “Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream . . .” (Gen. 41:1).

In the Book of Genesis, nothing is recorded about those two years. And as is often the case, the Bible speaks the loudest when it says nothing at all. What does it say? It says in which year Joseph was resurrected. That must have been the third year. In Hebrew understanding, there is a week of days, there is a week of weeks, there is a week of months—the seventh month is a month of feasts— and there is a week of years. The seventh year is a year of rest or Sabbath for the land (see Lev. 25:4). Therefore, Joseph was resurrected on the equivalent of day three. This of course, in some measure parallels the resurrection of Christ and is one reason why the number three is often interpreted as “resurrection.” The story doesn’t end there because this is where it gets exciting.

What does a bewildered Joseph think after correctly interpreting Pharaoh’s servants’ dreams and yet still finding himself behind bars? For a little while he is hopeful that the butler will mention him, and then he gets to the stage where he is annoyed and frustrated. Then, perhaps he remembers a principle his father taught him as a lad, that when God seems to go quiet on you, you need to go back to your last revelation. Or perhaps he started thinking how good it was to deliver those interpretations, or simply the Holy Spirit took him there. Whatever the route, he begins thinking through the dreams and their interpretation for the butler and the baker.

And what does he discover? By meditating on the dreams, he discovers that it is faith (fruit) that is blessed, whereas works (baked goods) are cursed and put to death. He discovers the person seeking his own glory (the baker) is judged by God (Pharaoh in this story). While the person willing to lay down his life for the one he serves (the butler) is resurrected. The baker’s dream describes him as carrying three baskets of baked goods. (Can’t you just smell that fresh bread and see those plaited loaves or coffee scrolls or whatever it was that Pharaoh’s household was into?) Why, if the baker knew there were birds, didn’t he keep them covered? He didn’t keep them covered because he wanted to gain glory by letting everyone see his handiwork! The basis of whatever he was hung for is found here as his heart is revealed. He is a person seeking his own glory.

Now as Joseph meditates on this revelation, God shows him his own heart. Let me walk you through it progressively. When Joseph had his first dream, well the first one recorded in Scripture, what does he say? He says, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed” (Gen. 37:6). Who is claiming the glory here? Joseph is! At the next landmark, before he interprets the butler and baker’s dreams, he says, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please” (Gen. 40:8).

Now we are beginning to see the humbling of Joseph having an effect. He has been a slave in Egypt for around ten years at this point. But he is not at the place where God can use him to the extent of what He has in store. Notice in his declaration to the butler and baker that he puts God first, but he still wants a measure of the glory. This is further revealed in what he blurts out between interpreting the butler and baker’s dream. He says,

But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house. For indeed I was stolen away from the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should put me into the dungeon (Genesis 40:14-15).

Have you ever opened your mouth and then thought, Oops, I never knew that was there? I believe, on reflection, that is what happens to Joseph here. If you count the number of personal pronouns—me and I—you will find that there are seven of them. Seven is representative of divine perfection, but in this case, it is revealing that though he is growing in God; he still has too much focus on self. Another way of saying this is that, even though he says the right words, his heart is not fully given over to God. He is not resting in God. Whose works is he expecting will get him out of this confinement? His own. At this point, he is more like the baker than the butler.

What is holding him back is also revealed in the above statement to the butler. There are some areas of his heart not yet yielded to God. From his statement in verse 15, we know who he holds responsible for putting him in this predicament. Look at his words, “and also I have done nothing here that they . . . .” His words reveal that in his heart he holds his brothers and Potiphar’s wife responsible. He is saying, “I’m not responsible; they are.” It sounds pretty much like he thinks they owe him. Therefore, he is harbouring a debt, and that debt is unforgiveness (see Matt. 18:21-35). Where there is unforgiveness there is most certainly an area of one’s heart not yet yielded to God.

At the same time as God shows him this, the clock is running. God’s perfect timing is being displayed. Joseph is coming to the third day (year), the day of resurrection, but before he can experience resurrection, he has to experience death. You cannot have a resurrection unless you first put something to death! What did he have to crucify? He had to crucify sin—the very thing that put Jesus upon the cross. Joseph had to bury his unforgiveness toward those who had abused him; otherwise the Spirit of God could not raise him from the pit. This is confirmed in Scripture when it is recorded of Joseph that prior to his audience before Pharaoh the, “Lord was with him” (Gen. 39:2, 21, 23). However, after his death and resurrection experience, Pharaoh, when speaking about Joseph declares, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” (Gen. 41:38).

At this point, God can take up full residence. He no longer is looking on from the outside. Now that the rubbish has been dealt with, He is on the inside directing and leading Joseph. Now Joseph, at long last, is like the butler who takes the grapes, crushes them, and places the cup into Pharaoh’s hand. He is now truly able to give God all the glory. If we compare Joseph’s earlier declaration about his dream to his brothers and also his confession before the butler and baker with what he now says to Pharaoh, we see a vast change has taken place. He says, “. . . It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace” (Gen. 41:16). Joseph is at last truly ready for what God has for him because he is now prepared to give God all the glory.

The truth of this incident is that the butler and the baker are in all of us. And it was the teaching within the dreams of the butler and baker that discerned the thoughts and intents of Joseph’s heart and brought about the necessary adjustment for him to be used of God “ . . .to save many people alive” (Gen. 50:20b).

Now put this understanding into Psalm 105, where we read earlier, “Until the time that his word [davar] came to pass, the word [emrah] of the Lord tested him” (Ps. 105:19). What is important to understand is that it was the word of God in the butler and baker’s dreams that purified Joseph over that three year period while he waited for the prophetic word of his own dream to come to pass.

Dividing Between Soul and Spirit

What we have just witnessed in the life of Joseph is that dreams have the power to divide between soul and spirit and act as a discloser of the thoughts and intents of the heart. The writer to the Hebrews captures this when he says,

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

The hidden truth the Bible reveals is that dreams have the power to divide between soul and spirit because they are a deposit of God’s living Word to us today! To some, that will be a pretty radical thought, and I hear many asking, “Are you suggesting we should endorse extra-biblical revelation?” No! What I am saying is that God is still speaking and that He didn’t cease speaking at the completion of the canonical books of the Bible. The Book of Acts is an open-ended book, and it is still being written today. However, let me reiterate that what He says today has to be in line with what He has said in the past (see Heb. 13:8). This is why the metaphors that fill this book are based primarily on Scripture.

We cannot afford to be like the Pharisees and teachers of the law who sat insensitively in the presence of Jesus, inwardly criticizing His every word and consequently failing to receive what God had for them even though “. . . the power of the Lord was present to heal them” (Luke 5:17). If that is our attitude, then it will be someone else who will break through the roof we have placed ourselves under and by faith grab a hold of what God had originally planned for us (see Luke 5:19-20).

Dreams divide between soul and spirit, not just in the individual, but also at the family, church, business, national, and Kingdom levels. The authors have people approach them with dreams to interpret on a regular basis. However, often what people think a dream means and what it turns out to say can be radically different. Acting like Nathan’s parable to David (see 2 Sam. 12:1-13), dreams and their correct interpretations bypass the heart’s natural defense mechanisms and allow the Holy Spirit to bring conviction and correction.

The Hands-on-Throat Dream

A great example of this ability to discern and disclose hearts happened as I was writing this material. One morning I was sharing with a group of people a couple of directive dreams God had given me. During our discussion, a young man asked what would it mean in a dream if he had his hand on his ex-partner’s throat? I asked him about the context of the dream and whether he had ever threatened her. He said, to his recollection of things, he had not openly threatened her, though she may feel threatened by him. He also explained that the night before he had gone to hear someone preaching. The sermon touched on forgiveness. He explained that before he went to bed he had verbally forgiven his ex-partner.

Hmm . . .hand on someone’s throat? I said, “You don’t really have to be a rocket scientist to say it doesn’t really sound good.” But I wasn’t sure yet on the exact interpretation. That afternoon as I sat meditating on the dream, I did a quick search on an electronic pocket Bible Adam (co-author) and I both carry for such occasions. I punched in the words hand and throat, and began a search. Immediately two options came up. One reference was in the Old Testament and one in the New. In the Old Testament reference, the words hand and throat were not connected so I ignored that reference. As I brought up the New Testament verse, Wham! The New Testament verse read,

But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii; and he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, “Pay me what you owe!” (Matthew 18:28).

As the context of this verse is talking about forgiveness, I knew instantly what God was saying. As I shared the essence of what God was saying, the Holy Spirit powerfully witnessed and brought conviction. The young man was blown away that God, through a dream, was able to pinpoint the true state of his heart. Through the dream, God was showing him that he had not really forgiven his ex-partner from his heart, that he still held her responsible and was expecting an apology from her. This is not only a great example of God’s ability to divide hearts through dreams, but it also emphasizes the importance of using the Bible to find the interpretation. This method is particularly useful if the metaphor dictionary does not have an entry that seems to fit the context of the dream.

Entering the Kingdom

This experience reinforces a truth that Israel was meant to learn before they entered the Promised Land and that all of us, likewise, have to learn before we are able to move fully-fledged into the Kingdom. As Jesus, quoting Moses, puts it, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4).

In fact, entering the Kingdom is dependent on this truth. Notice that this Scripture says that it is by every word that “proceeds” and not “proceeded.” One is present tense; the other is past tense. We cannot move into the spiritual promises of God on yesterday’s manna. We need a living Word today. Of course, the devil wants to shut this down because dreams have the capacity to provide a major component of what God is saying to us today. He knows that once this truth is out, the Church is once again on the move and closer to the Book of Acts!

Don’t Dreams Come by Much Activity?

Even now I hear some say, “But doesn’t the Bible say that a dream comes about by much activity?” Yes, it does, well, something along those lines. But where does it say that in the Bible? It says it in the Book of Ecclesiastes, “For a dream comes through much activity, and a fool’s voice is known by his many words” (Eccl. 5:3).

What is the perspective ofthis book written by Solomon? It is a pessimistic look at “life under the sun.” (See Ecclesiastes 1:3, along with 30 other occurrences.) Therefore, the book, for the most part, is a secular and non-believing look at a world without God. And what this verse actually says is, “The world says a dream comes by much activity. ” (Ecc. 5:3) Is that the correct perspective? It is the nonspiritual one.

Alternatively, this verse can also be understood to say, “While a fool is babbling on, the only way to get to your dream (goal) is by actively pursuing it.” Interpreted either way, this verse limits us to the physical domain outside of God and is, therefore, an empty defence against the truth revealed here.

Uniting the Word and the Spirit

A well-known British author and teacher who recently visited Australia says that God is about to bring together a generation where the proponents of the

Word (those strong in Bible teaching) come together with those who claim to be Spirit-led (of Charismatic persuasion). The acceptance of dreams as messages from God can and will only take place among those with this balance. Recognition of that fact has us poised at the door of the next tipping-point^3 in God. Will we step through?

If, as you have read these first two chapters, you find yourself saying, “I want to be a part of that generation that unites the Word and the Spirit,” but also find yourself admitting, “Well, God doesn’t speak to me in dreams,” then you need to consider what you have done in the past when He has spoken to you in a dream. Think about it; if you were speaking to someone and they continually ignored you, would you keep speaking to them? No, you wouldn’t. The Bible says, “. . .For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you” (Luke 6:38b).

God is not like Robin Hood, who takes from the rich to give to the poor. He takes from the poor and gives to the rich! If you don’t believe me, read Matthew 25:14-30. If this is you right now, stop reading and apologize to the Holy Spirit for grieving Him with your insensitivity. Ask that He cleanse you of any sin in your heart under the precious blood of Christ and also cry unto Him to give you an understanding (receptive) heart. Finally say, “Lord, speak, for your servant is listening.”

Summary: Chapter Two

•    A detailed study of the life of Joseph reveals that dreams are part of God’s living Word. They augment what He is saying to us through the written word and prayer.

•    Jesus taught principles from a dream Solomon had 950 years earlier.

•    According to a contextual understanding of Psalm 105:17-19, Joseph was refined through the dreams of the butler and baker of Pharaoh. These dreams refined him while he waited for the word of his own dreams to be fulfilled.

•    Dreams and their correct interpretation bypass the heart’s natural defence mechanisms and allow the Holy Spirit to bring conviction and correction.

•    Dreams have the power to divide between soul and spirit and act as a discloser of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

•    The Kingdom of God is gained by receiving the ongoing “word that proceeds from the mouth ofGod. ” Dreams are a major component of that proceeding word.

•    The natural person (world) thinks dreams come through much activity.

•    There is a need to repent and apologize to the Holy Spirit for our insensitivity and ignorance of His voice to us in the night.

Roger Bannister provides a good example in the sporting arena. Before Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile in 1954, everyone thought the human body was not capable of sustaining such rigorous exercise. This thinking effectively created a mental barrier that kept runners at bay. However, after Roger Bannister broke through this psychological barrier, others followed in rapid succession.

Chapter Three

The Purpose of Dreams and Visions

By Adrian Beale

In Romans 10:17, it says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. ” In this passage, the Greek word rhema has simply been translated “word.” Rhema actually means the “spoken word” and denotes “that which is spoken, what is uttered in speech or writing.”1 In classical Greek, it may be considered the term for a message. It is not the Greek word used to describe the entire Bible, for that, another Greek word, logos, is used. It is this spoken word or message that proceeds from the mouth of God (see Matt. 4:4). And it is this spoken word or message that is “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word [rhema] ofGod” (Eph. 6:17).

As dreams and visions are two of the ways we receive this spoken word or message from God, their main purpose is to create, build, and strengthen faith. As the sword of the Spirit, they also divide between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and are used by the Holy Spirit to disclose the thoughts and intents of the heart. Further to this, in providing illumination on a personal level, they are consistently employed to confirm direction.

Building Faith

The story of Gideon in the Bible (see Judg. 6-8) provides a good example of how a dream can strengthen faith. In this passage of Scripture, the story is told of how God visited and encouraged a man who was a self-confessed “weakest of the weak” (see Judg. 6:15) to take on and defeat an innumerable Midianite army.

If you are aware of the story, you will know that God progressively built faith in Gideon through a series of confirming events. The final tool used to make the fearful Gideon resolute in faith was a dream! It was not a dream Gideon had, but a dream that one of the enemy soldiers had and retold in Gideon’s hearing. The Scriptures describe the final scene before Gideon leads his carefully selected army against Israel’s opponents,

And when Gideon had come, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, “I have had a dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent collapsed. ” Then his companion answered and said, “This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp” (Judges 7:13-14).

The sudden barley loaf tumbling into the camp of Midian is a classic example of how metaphors are used in dreams today. Compared to wheat, barley is an inferior grain; its head contains fewer grains, it is more susceptible to loss through windstorms, and it is not as hard. The dream begins with the words, “To my surprise a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp . . .” (Judg. 7:13).

This describes for us not only the element of surprise employed by Gideon— He gets his men to conceal lamps in earthen vessels, which when broken and accompanied with the blast of trumpets supply the shock tactics needed to rout the enemy—but also provides a cleverly chosen image of Gideon and his unified and comparatively inferior entourage of followers (see Judg. 6:16). Gideon was encouraged, or rather had his faith strengthened, through hearing a message from God given through a dream shared between two enemy soldiers.

Faith for Healing

The book Even Greater, by Reinhard Bonnke,2 tells of a current-day example of how a dream was used to build faith for healing.

By 1988, a pain-wracked and wheelchair-bound English woman, Jean Neil, had undergone several unsuccessful spinal operations, the last of which had left her in a plaster cast for six months. Emerging from that cast, Jean was told she would never walk again, but was given a 50-50 chance of a better lifestyle if she were to undergo a risky operation to reconstruct her spine. While she weighed the risk of the operation against the constant daily pain she experienced, Jean received two dreams in the same night. In the first dream, she saw herself undergoing the operation and dying on the operating table. In the second dream, she saw herself in a huge room with at least 12 other people who were also in wheelchairs. She heard a man speaking with a foreign accent and noted the color of the carpet and the seats that filled that room. She saw the speaker (whom she later discovered to be Reinhard Bonnke) go to the first wheelchair and pray for a woman sitting in it. The woman got up and then slumped back into the chair in utter defeat. The speaker then came and prayed for Jean, and she saw herself take off running from her wheelchair—totally healed!

The dreams told Jean two things. First, it was clear that God, through a literal dream, was warning her not to undergo surgery. The second dream also declared that God had another plan. Two weeks after this revelation, Jean traveled to hear Reinhard Bonnke speak at a youth convention in Birmingham, England. At this stage, Jean had not seen Reinhard in real-life. She had heard only that he was an evangelist and that when he ministered it was not unusual for the miraculous to take place. She was hopeful. That afternoon as Reinhard entered the stage, Jean thought he looked somewhat like the man in her dream. However, when he opened his mouth to speak, her faith began to rise as his tone and accent were identical to the man in her dream. When the events of that afternoon unraveled as Jean had dreamed them, including the color of the seats and carpet, and the woman in the first wheelchair failing to receive her healing, Jean was full of faith to receive her healing, and the rest is well-documented history.

Jean Neil was filled with faith and received her healing because God, in a dream, allowed her to preview a future event with incredible accuracy. This is an example of a dream dividing between joints and marrow and bringing healing through the faith it inspired. This incredible miracle from God is also documented on the DVD M.S.I. (Miracle Scene Investigation) by Full Flame Asia Pty. Ltd.3

Revealing Secrets and Answering Questions

Last year my eldest daughter, who like most teenagers talks to her friends over the Internet, received a series of e-mails from someone who used the title, “Your Secret Admirer.” After a couple of these e-mails she came to her mother and me and disclosed the content of these messages, asking for some advice on what she should do in this situation. The nature of the communication was courteous and succinct and was not in any way rude or intrusive. All the same, we encouraged her to be polite, but to discourage this person by explaining our (mom and dad’s) views on dating. The comments made through the e-mails suggested that the person involved was a Christian, nevertheless, given that this was not a face-to-face conversation, and the age of our daughter, our resolve was firm. The last communication from the secret admirer was that he would disclose himself in time to me (dad) and ask permission to proceed in asking her out.

While we were taking a short weekend away to relax as a family, God showed me in a dream one night who the secret admirer was. I saw him literally in front of me and knew in my spirit the message God was conveying to me. I shot upright in bed and said to my wife, “The secret admirer is so and so!” To which my wife said something like, “I could have told you that.” Talk about having your bubble burst!

Anyway, a few weeks later, I was observing this person after church. Eventually, when our eyes met, he obviously sensed that there was an opportunity to speak to me and came toward me. He opened the conversation by saying, “I would like to speak to you . . .” I was able to say, “I know. God has revealed to me that you are the secret admirer, but our daughter is a little too young and this is how it is . . .” (I hold this young man and his family in high regard today for their commitment to Christ. The objection was not to him, but to our daughter’s age.) God answered the question on our hearts at that time through a message delivered in visual form. And in doing so, He was able to allay any fears we held over this incident.

There was a time in Israel’s history when King Saul was looking for guidance because a large Philistine army was parked on his doorstep. Unfortunately, Saul had gone off the rails in his walk with God because of his jealousy of David. Samuel, the nation’s prophet, was dead, so Saul, in trepidation, approached God. The Scripture says, “And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim, or by the prophets” (1 Sam. 28:6).

Though Saul did not receive the revelation he was looking for in this situation, it is evident from Scripture that dreams were a regular way in which God answered questions (see Dan. 2:29). He is still using the same method today, as is apparent above.

Warning and Guidance

One of my friends came to me recently with the following dream for interpretation. He said,

I saw two cars heading straight toward each other like they were going to have a head-on crash. The two drivers were young and seemed to be playing chicken with each other. I saw the two cars crash, and I also saw and recognized the driver that got hurt.

This dream was a warning from God. In the circumstance in which it was given, it means that two departments (vehicles) of the ministry in which the dreamer is involved will come to a place where there will be one department set against the other. Due to spiritual immaturity, neither will be willing to yield to the other, and the dream showed which department will be hurt. The Scripture that instantly came to mind was Genesis 13:7-9. Therefore, meekness and trust in God was called for at that time. (An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the dream and vision sample section of this book. See dream 51.)

God gave this dream so that an impending tragedy could be averted. It is a good thing that the leadership of this ministry was open to this word from God. And I am relieved to say that, just as the “cars” were sizing each other up, God, through this dream, disarmed the situation.

Similarly, there are many accounts within Scripture where dreams were God’s method of warning their recipients. After the wise men had found Jesus as a young child, God warned them about Herod’s evil intensions. The Bible says, “Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way” (Matt. 2:12).

And again in the next verse, Joseph, Mary’s husband, was warned and given a similar message to move location because Herod saw Christ as a threat and wanted to destroy Him. The Scripture states,

Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him” (Matthew 2:13).

So urgent was this warning that Joseph responded straight away. As is recorded, “When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt” (Matt. 2:14).

After a brief stay in Egypt, God brought Joseph and his little family back into Israel through additional guidance given in a dream (see Matt. 2:19-20). The story doesn’t end there, as he is further warned in another dream (see Matt. 2:22). That is four dreams, all recorded in Matthew 2, to protect the coming Promise of God.

I have deliberately referred to the young Child as the Promise of God, firstly because that’s how our promises may appear in a dream (as babies) and also to alert us to the fact that the devil is still playing the same game today. Whenever God births His promises, the devil will try and abort them. The Book of Revelation recounts the spiritual perspective of that threat on the young child Jesus with the following words,

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads. His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born (Revelation 12:1-4).

This heavenly insight provides us with a principle as true today as it was 2000 years ago. If we are about to do something new in God, we need to be open to receive guidance from the Holy Spirit through dreams, because for every promise birthed, there is a scheme of the enemy to abort it! This threat is very real, as the following dream portrays:

I was with a young couple in a fern-house/tent type structure outside their home. The roof of the fern house caught on fire as the woman brought a flame into it. We tried to put it out, not knowing till later that the fire had spread to the house and killed their young child in the upstairs bedroom.

In this dream, I believe God is warning that gossip could destroy the new ministry venture being embarked on. The woman possibly represents the church or its leadership (or the dreamer’s wife) as the instigators who try to stop what God is birthing. Note also that the baby is upstairs; this says that what is being birthed is from God. (An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the dream and vision sample section of this book. See dream 21.)

Correction

Appreciating the nature of people’s hearts (see Jer. 17:9.) and given the power of God’s Word to divide and discern the hearts of people means that a common purpose of dreams is correction. We saw this beautifully portrayed in the previous chapter concerning Joseph, and it is poetically documented in the oldest book in the Bible, Job, where Elihu states,

For God may speak one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction. In order to turn man from his deed (Job. 33:14-17a).

We see that God will bring instruction through a dream that is intended to correct a faulty determination within the heart. Often, as it does here, correction comes with a warning, “He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing over into Sheol” (Job 33:18 NASB).

If someone denies that correction is needed or enjoys doing what God is trying to correct, God will persevere in His longsuffering love to bring that person around, often graciously repeating a dream to do so. However, there will come a time when His patience will be balanced with judgment. Recently, I interpreted one such dream that I am not at liberty to share here. What I can share is the Scriptures that instantly came to my spirit,

For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears (Hebrews 12:17).

After explaining the dream, I pleaded earnestly that the person concerned would understand the gravity of the situation. Thankfully, I have not been exposed to many such situations. That situation was a sobering reminder that God is both a God of love and also a consuming fire (see Heb. 12:29).

There are not too many of us who appreciate correction. The Scripture captures this truth well when it says,

Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:11).

We have to keep in mind that it is due to the goodness of God that we are alive at all (see Acts 17:28). And it is certainly by the grace of God that we may be saved through the death of His dear Son Jesus Christ (see Eph. 2:8-9). Therefore, when a dream shows an area needing change, it is important that the people concerned understand that it is God’s triple-fold goodness that is bringing this area into the spotlight. What it says is that God cares enough about them individually that He doesn’t want them to get hurt. And they will get hurt if they continue without change in this particular area, though at times (due to our limited perspective) it may not feel, appear, or sound like that is the case. At these times, the call upon us is to trust Him, for He sees beyond the moment and knows what awaits us around the corner. As a God of love, He is always moving with our best interests at heart.

The Prophetic

Nothing strengthens faith like a prophetic word. For this reason, the word of God, through dreams, is often loaded with promises for the future. Operating in this way, a dream brings Heaven to earth in an instant and opens new frontiers and opportunities not thought of by the dreamer. Through prophetic dreams, God is able to encourage, prepare, marshal, and direct His troops for the expansion of the Kingdom. It is the same today as it was in the dream revealed to Gideon (see Judg. 7:13-14), in the promise to Jacob (see Gen. 28:12-15), and in the dreams of Pharaoh (see Gen. 41:1-7).

Through a prophetic dream, God may open His ministers to be led more by the Spirit, as the following dream shows,

I saw a river running diagonally through what was currently the church congregation’s sitting area. It ran between the pulpit and the congregation. At the back of the church were huge stands—like in a football stadium. When I awoke, I was concerned because I thought that the river separated the speaker from the audience.

I believe the river in this dream represents the flow of the Holy Spirit. The fact that the river flowed in front of the speaker is a good thing as it means that the preacher is putting the Spirit before himself. When this is done, God will draw crowds of people—the stands. The concern about the river in front of the speaker indicates that moving in the Spirit is not something the speaker is comfortable with at this stage and says that God is challenging the dreamer in this area. (An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the dream and vision sample section of this book. See dream 2.)

Through a prophetic promise given in a dream, God may also remind those with the call of God on their lives that the gifts and callings of God are without repentance (see Rom. 11:29). This is what He does in this example, forwarded by a male friend,

I was with a friend who I went to Bible College with some years earlier.

He and I were in the ministry together. We were at post-boxes collecting our mail. I opened my box, and it was literally jammed-packed with letters. There were so many letters that it took me some time to “jimmy” a couple of envelopes free before the rest could be emptied out of the box.

The person who had this dream was no longer in a recognized ministry position. This dream indicates that he will once again take up a ministry position, as seen by the fact that he is with someone with ministry status. The many envelopes indicate invitations to speak and also seems to indicate that his ministry will be itinerant. God is encouraging and directing him into an itinerant ministry with this prophetic-futuristic dream. (An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the dream and vision sample section of this book. See dream 3.)

Disclosure

Dreams may foretell things that are going to happen tomorrow, or they may foretell something that is going to happen 20 years from now. It is not always possible to clearly define the timeline in which God is operating. For this reason, unlike Joseph (see Gen. 37:5-7), it is wise not to share everything revealed with everyone. It is better to be like Mary, who “. . . kept all these things and pondered them in her heart” (Luke 2:19).

When Israel was about to go out to battle, God told them that they were to separate from their ranks those who were fearful (see Deut. 20:8). These were those without faith for the situation. God had them remove the spirit of fear because it has an incredible ability to be transferred. In the same way, Jesus removed the doubters when He was about to resurrect Jairus’ daughter from the dead (see Matt. 9:18-26). Similarly, it is wise to be very selective about to whom you reveal what God is promising you. Not everyone knows or appreciates the call of God upon your life, and if you share or surround yourself with people who are not able to see you in the Spirit (see 2 Cor. 5:16), their doubt may undermine your faith and begin a decay of the promise within you.

Salvation

The story of Joseph in the previous chapter shows that God used dreams to save not only the nation of Egypt, but also the would-be nation of Israel. One of the reasons that this incident is recorded is so that the Church would join the dots and see the spiritual parallel it is meant to convey. Many will know that Joseph is a picture of Jesus in more than 100 ways (see Appendix A). He is hated by his brethren, he is sold by Judah (Judas) for silver, he is thrown into a pit (hell), he is resurrected, he is glorified, he is revealed to his brethren the second time, and he distributes the life-giving seed, to name a few parallels between the two. As impressive as that may be, a more liberating truth is that it was the Holy Spirit who raised Joseph up after He had brought conviction and repentance through the interpretation of two deeply symbolic dreams while he was in prison.

In the same way, God wants to release the prisoners of satan today and bring them into God’s courts. Everyone who does not know Christ—rich or poor, educated or untaught, successful or failure, whether they realize it or not—is a slave of satan. Stop and think about that for a while; it puts things back into correct perspective. This truth is outlined by Paul in his instruction to Timothy,

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; and that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will (2 Timothy 2:25-26 KJV).

These verses not only point out, as highlighted, that the people of the world are satan’s captives, but they also say that people of the world “oppose themselves. ” This is because, in resisting the Gospel, people are not so much opposing the Church or the Gospel, but are in fact, keeping themselves bound under satan’s jurisdiction and hence really opposing themselves. They want to experience freedom, but in its place they have captivity!

This spiritual reality is reinforced as believers are encouraged to give thanks for our arrival into the Kingdom of God and also our liberation from satan’s shackles. As is stated in Colossians,

Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God’s holy people) in the Light. [The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love (Colossians 1:12-13 AMP).

God is in the immigration business. He is continually looking for opportunities to draw people into His Kingdom and release them from satan’s clutches because His prime concern is humankind’s eternal destiny.

For this reason, God will continually reach out to them, even in their sleep. Let’s refer once again to the passage we read earlier, in Job, where Elihu said,

Indeed God speaks once, or twice, yet no one notices it. In a dream, a vision of the night, when sound sleep falls on men, while they slumber in their beds, then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction, that He may turn man aside from his conduct, and keep man from pride; He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing over into Sheol (Job 33:14-18 NASB).

We see that God speaks to the unsaved at least twice through dreams during their lifetime to get them saved! So passionate is He that they spend eternity with Him. He has made provision through His own death^4 upon the cross that no one need go to hell. The passage above records that they don’t understand what they have received in their dreams due to the veil upon their hearts. They desperately need someone with the Spirit of God to enlighten them.

Regularly, friends ask me about dreams that unsaved people they interact with have been having. Like the nurse whose patient repeatedly dreamed of compulsive cleaning, the father who continually dreamed of falling, the young man struggling to get the manhole hatch into the ceiling open, or the mature lady who repeatedly saw herself running down a hallway to get away from the fire that was chasing her. All of these dreams are God speaking to these people about their need for salvation. Dreams and their interpretations are an untapped reservoir of opportunities. If we lift our eyes and learn to interpret, then there is truly a white harvest field of souls before us (see John 4:35).

Our neighbors, friends, workmates, and clients may never come to church, but they all dream, and God has provided a priceless outreach tool in the interpretation of their dreams. Start asking them humbly about their dreams, and they will begin to open to our message as God proves Himself by disclosing their hearts and their futures.

If as you have read these pages, you are acutely aware that you are not presently right with God, please turn to Appendix B at the rear of this book right now before proceeding further.

Summary: Chapter Three

•    Dreams and visions are rhema words from God to build and strengthen faith.

•    You can be strengthened in faith by hearing the dreams of others, like Gideon, who was strengthened in faith by hearing two enemy soldiers sharing a dream.

•    God uses dreams to prepare people for healing, as He did with Jean Neil.

•    Dreams and visions reveal secrets and answer questions on people’s hearts.

•    Dreams are a powerful vehicle for God to warn and guide His people. This is particularly true for those who are embarking on new ventures in God because the enemy is constant in his endeavors to abort the promises of God.

•    Dreams are used to correct, as is shown in the Book of Job, where God uses dreams to “turn man from his deed. ”

•    The prophetic nature of many dreams strengthens faith and endurance.

•    It is not wise to disclose every dream or vision you receive because many people will not appreciate or understand the call of God upon your life. Your listener’s doubt is like fear, which has the potential to begin a decay of the promise of God within you.

•    Dreams are a regular means by which God communicates to non-Christians their need for salvation.

•    Everyone who has not come to the cross of Christ is a prisoner of satan.

•    According to Job, God is so passionate about people’s souls that He uses dreams at least twice during their lifetime to prevent them from going to hell.

•    Everyone dreams; therefore, skills developed in dream interpretation create new harvest field opportunities.

•    If you are not currently in right relationship with God, please read Appendix B at the rear of this book.

When we see Jesus dying upon the cross, we are looking at the incarnation of God Himself taking our place and receiving the judgment we rightly deserve for our sin. Jesus said, “. . . If you believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins” (John 8:24 literal translation). Here He identifies Himself with the One who met Moses at the burning bush (see Exod. 3:14) and puts Himself under threat of stoning by declaring it (see John 8:5859). He is also called Immanuel—God with us (see Isa. 7:14) and the Everlasting Father (see Isa. 9:6). The Book of Colossians declares this truth a mystery, “. . . to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ” (Col. 2:2). Can we comprehend it? No! But it is a mystery nonetheless revealed in the New Testament. Comparing Revelation 1:8 with Revelation 22:12-16, we discover that the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, is none other than Jesus, who is Almighty God! It was Almighty God who died on the cross for you and me. This surely amplifies the words of the writer to the Hebrews when he says, “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation . . .” (Heb. 2:3).

Chapter Four

Are All Dreams From God? (Part 1)

By Adam F. Thompson

Are all dreams from God? This is a common question I am asked. A lot of dreams do not make sense; they come across as completely strange. You may have heard many people say, “I had a really weird dream last night; it made no sense at all.” The truth is, God is trying to communicate with us, and He speaks to us daily in and through dreams—every dream.

Nightmares

You may be thinking to yourself, What if I have a nightmare? Is that from God? Or if I have a demonic attack in my dream, is that from God? The truth is, as Christians, even when we are awake, the enemy is looking for opportunities to attack us and bring us down. Also, while we are sleeping, our spiritual senses can pick up spiritual warfare or demonic oppression (in the heavenlies) which may be occurring in the area. It is important to remember that Jesus has defeated the enemy (see Col. 2:15). The Bible also declares that we have been given the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the powers of the evil one (see Luke 10:19). Praise God!

Primarily a nightmare is a signal. It is the cry of a heart carrying an unresolved issue and needing attention. Now generally, if Christians are walking in the Spirit and living in the counsel of the Lord, they do not have nightmares. However, if as a Christian, you do have constant nightmares, there is definitely a heart issue needing to be resolved.

Some prophetic dreams and visions may come across as nightmares because of the enormity of the events shown in them. These are normally received by those with a strong prophetic calling. Daniel experienced this type of nightmare while lying on his bed (see Dan. 4:5).

Constant nightmares would probably mean that there is an oppression operating in your life. This may indicate that you are being harassed by an oppressing spirit. Oppression is not possession, but rather harassment. If this is the case, you will require some counseling and ministry of the Holy Spirit under the guidance of a discerning and trusted mature believer. In the main, this occurs when there is a stronghold in your mind or heart due to something that has happened in the past that has affected you deeply, such as an abuse or trauma of some kind. Ultimately, what we look for in these situations is the legal ground on which the enemy is allowed to gain access. This is explained further below.

Another such occurrence is when, as Christians, we sin with our mouths. I am not talking about the attributes of sin, such as drinking, smoking, sexual immorality, theft, and so on. I am talking about sinning with our mouths without being consciously aware of it. What I am referring to is either when we curse ourselves or others by labeling ourselves or others as “idiots” or something similar. This can also happen if we keep making negative confessions with our mouths, such as, “I must be going crazy.” Similarly, we may be guilty of openly confessing doubt or fear, which likewise gives the enemy the right to harass and torment us. Cursing ourselves and denying the Word of God like this grieves the Holy Spirit and gives a foothold to the enemy (see Eph. 4:27-30). We need to be ever aware that “ . . .we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers. . .in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12).

As Christians, we must be very careful what we say and confess with our mouths. The Book of Proverbs says we have power in our tongues to speak words of life or death (see Prov.18:21). This is not an empty platitude that we can choose to ignore; this is a living reality we need to take to heart. Therefore, it is really important to always speak as if we are speaking the very words of God and to have our vocabulary lined up with the Word of God, because this empowers us to receive the promises of God. When we align our speech with God’s Word in this way, we frustrate the enemy because God’s Word cannot be broken (see John 10:35). Jesus said that “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away” (Matt. 24:35).

Angels and demons constantly hear every word we say. If we start speaking the Word of God and our vocabulary is in agreement with the Word of God, it activates the power of God and empowers the angels to encamp around us and to prepare the way for the destiny that God has for us. When we start speaking death, curses, or doubt, it empowers demons to respond and gives them the right to bring havoc into our lives, to strike us and steer us off God’s path. Our victory is in being in harmony with God’s Word.

The Scriptures further say the devil roams around like a roaring lion, looking to devour us. If as Christians we are having nightmares and are under constant attack by the enemy, God is allowing this so that we can learn to overcome with the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony (see Rev. 12:11). It is important to understand that there is a difference between allowing something to happen and being the perpetrator of that horror. The Bible says, “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am tempted by God’; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone” (James 1:13).

Temptation

It is evident from Scripture that God allows the enemy access to us to test or prove us. Though He was without sin, Jesus was tempted by the devil in the wilderness (see Luke 4:1-13). This temptation may come in the form of a dream or a vision, as it did with Christ. Luke’s Gospel records, “Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time” (Luke 4:5). The fact that the devil was able to show Jesus all the kingdoms of the world “in a moment of time” suggests that this temptation came in the form of a vision.

Why would God allow the enemy to tempt us? The answer to that question is twofold. If we fail the test, it acts like a refining fire by bringing what is truly in our hearts to the surface so that we deal with it. It thus produces a humbler and holier disciple.

A good example of this is when God withdrew from Hezekiah. Hezekiah had previously shown Babylonian envoys all the wealth and treasures of his kingdom (see 2 Kings 20:12-13). In response to Hezekiah’s proud and impetuous act, the Bible records,

Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart

(2 Chronicles 32:31 KJV).

God withdrew from Hezekiah so that he would see the pride of his own heart, repent, and not suffer eternally for it. In allowing Hezekiah to be tested, God was working in the king’s best interests.

God also allows us to undergo temptation so that, when we have come through the temptation victoriously, we are aware that we have grown stronger in God and moved to another spiritual level. For Christ, graduation through His wilderness temptations meant that He was now ready for ministry,

Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all (Luke 4:14-15).

Learning From Job

Reading the Book of Job, we find that he was a righteous man. There was no one like him on the earth, and he was righteous to the point where God proclaimed his righteousness. The devil came to God, and God asked him where he had been, to which he answered, “From going to and fro on the earth . . .” (Job 1:7). He was looking to find legal grounds to enter the lives of men and women on earth, particularly those who were in relationship with God, which at the time included Job. That didn’t just happen to Job without reason. I believe that this passage of Scripture is there to show us potentially what can happen to all saints. In the spirit realm, there is a constant battle going on, and the enemy is on the prowl, looking to devour and constantly accusing believers before God (see 1 Pet. 5:8). The Bible records that he does not let up, but is constantly leveling accusations to God about believers, day and night (see Rev. 12:10). The devil is vigilant in his quest for a foothold into believers’ lives.

God did not allow satan to attack Job’s life or touch him without consent. In fact, the devil can do nothing without God’s consent. This is why Paul can say that “all things work together for good. . .” (Rom. 8:28). The Lord said to satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person” (Job 1:12).

Then satan went out from God’s presence to bring calamity to Job. The encouraging thing in the Book of Job is that all the hardship and all the attacks of the enemy purged him and caused him to be stronger, wiser, and more faithful to the Lord, even though at one point he seemed to be weak in his faith. Job was not suffering because of sin, but God in His foresight knew that in suffering Job would sin. It was God’s wisdom at work, because He hadn’t finished with Job. God wanted him to come to the fullness He had for him. This attack on Job’s life included experiencing nightmares. Job himself said, “Then You scare me with dreams, and terrify me with visions” (Job 7:14).

Job attributed the nightmares to God. It appears he experienced them because God allowed the devil access to him. God took down the hedge of protection around Job (see Job 1:10), a spiritual hedge that we likewise are protected by if we are born again and living rightly before God (see Ps. 34:7; Isa. 5:1-2). Job’s protection was removed ultimately for his benefit and to show us what happens in the spirit realm. I don’t believe that God freely gives evil spirits access to our lives today without them having some legal right to do so. These situations happen if there are unresolved issues that give the enemy legal grounds to come into God’s Kingdom—you (see Luke 17:21).

If we are experiencing nightmares, then the enemy has a legal right to enter. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to help us identify the grounds on which the enemy is getting in. The common grounds on which the enemy gains access are:

•    Unforgiveness related to some form of abuse or trauma (see Matt. 18:21-35)

•    Rebellion and unrepentant sin (see Prov. 17:11)

•    Witchcraft and divination (see 1 Sam. 15:23; 16:14)

•    Generational curses (see Exod. 20:4-5; Deut. 5:9)

•    Wrong confession with our mouths (see Eph. 4:25-27)

•    Extreme jealousy, envy, or rage (see Eph. 4:25-27)

•    Strongholds: defiant mental attitudes contrary to the Word of God (see 1 Sam. 15:23; Prov. 17:11)

Pornographic Dreams

If we are experiencing pornographic dreams, then there is generally a core issue as outlined above—often having more than one strand and manifesting itself as lust in our lives. The devil has been known to build a stronghold of lust around a three-fold cord of jealousy, unforgiveness, and mental strongholds. I have also seen a spirit of perversion operating over people’s lives among pornographic nightmare sufferers. This means that when dealing with this problem, it is necessary to address more than just the manifesting problem of lust. The pornographic nightmare sufferer needs to come clean with heart issues through confession and repentance, giving the enemy no legal ground for entry before a prayer identifying and severing spiritual bonds or soul-ties is declared in authority over the believer. It is important that this problem is not further fed by the dreamer—by looking at other people or media with lust—because that gives the enemy further ground on which to enter. Like Job, all believers need to make a covenant with their eyes (see Job 31:1) when thoughts stray beyond pure relationships, particularly when battling with lust.

In Job’s case, we find at the end of the book that he was blessed with a double-portion of what he had in the beginning. His experience humbled him and gave him insight and wisdom. It gave him the humility and love to pray for those who rose up against him, which is a display of the same nature as Jesus Christ.

At times God will also directly trouble our souls through a nightmare to direct and warn us. These dreams may manifest as a fear of the Lord in regard to pending judgment. This was the case with Pilate’s wife (see Matt. 27:19), Abimelech (see Gen. 20:3-7), Pharaoh (see Gen. 41:8), and Nebuchadnezzar (see Dan. 2:1; 4:5).

So God both indirectly allows enemy access to torment us (see Matt. 18:34; Prov. 17:11) and directly gives nightmares, but always with a beneficial intention. These come if we are not fully grown in the Lord and are holding certain issues contrary to the Word of God in our hearts, so that we can grow, pinpoint the issues, and overcome the enemy. Ours is not to hide these dreams, but to find a trustful, mature believer and work through the issues the dreams identify.

With Job, even though he was initially considered righteous, the trials and tribulations brought on by the attack of the enemy exposed certain issues he held deep in his heart. There was some resentment he held and some things that he cried out to the Lord which weren’t right (see Job 38:1-2; 42:3), which when confessed and repented of gave him a greater revelation of God. So God wants us to live in the fullness of what He has for us, and at times, He uses adversity to refine us. This is so that when we stand before Him on the Day of Judgment we can have confidence without suffering any loss and can take our place holding our head high with full assurance, knowing we have completely fulfilled His divine plan for our lives.

Wisdom Found in Parables

Yes, the days of thinking we had a weird dream because we ate too much pizza are over. That one-liner is peddled way too often. I believe that all dreams are communications from God. Weird dreams that do not seem to make sense are not meaningless or without purpose. Actually, they are all significant. We need to always keep in mind that when God speaks to us in dreams He does it primarily through metaphors and symbols. As He has said in His Word, “I will open My mouth in a parable, I will utter dark sayings of old” (Ps. 78:2).

That prophecy was not just fulfilled in Jesus’ teaching, but it continues as He speaks to us in dreams and visions today. We discover in Scripture that the Proverbs were written so the understanding person “. . .willattain wise counsel, to understand a proverb and an enigma [parable], the words of the wise and their riddles” (Prov. 1:5b-6).

Just as His wisdom is conveyed through proverbs, God also communicates to us using parables in dreams to bring us His wisdom. Just as Jesus spoke in parables, talking about seed-sowing to the farmer (see Matt. 13:3-9), about fishing to fishermen (see Matt. 4:19), and about finance to stewards (see Matt. 25:14-30), so He speaks to us in allegorical dreams today. It’s clear that God speaks to us in riddle-like dreams, and we need the Holy Spirit to give us the spiritual insight to interpret these parables and riddles.

When Jesus explained the parable saying that what comes out of the mouth comes directly from the heart, Peter came up to Him and petitioned, “Explain this parable to us.” Jesus said in response, “Are you also still without understanding?” (Matt. 15:15-16). Even though he was awake and in the physical presence of Jesus, it is obvious that Peter still didn’t understand the parable and needed to have it explained or interpreted for him. We likewise experience parable-type communication from God through our dreams and equally need them interpreted if we are going to understand them.

When we stop and think about it, Jesus Christ is the best communicator the world has ever known because He relates to all people at their level and on their wavelength through everyday realities and experiences. He did it when He was physically here on earth, and He is still doing it through our dreams by His Spirit while He is with the Father.

Why Metaphors?

Why does God speak to us in metaphors? God uses metaphors because images are very powerful. God created our minds to relate to and remember images and sounds quicker and more readily than written words. For example, when we drive along in our cars and see a “School Crossing” sign, we see more than just the words School Crossing. We see a symbol, a silhouette of a woman holding the hand of a child crossing the road.

This is because, though our verbal thoughts can be very fast, visual images received by our brains are much faster. Compared to the visual, trying to take information in by reading is much slower. When we read, we have to comprehend it. While reading, we have to process the information in our minds and try to imagine what we are reading. We read it first and then have to create the image. On the other hand, seeing an image or hearing a sound has the potential to go straight into our minds and our spirits.

Another illustration of the power of images is found on most computer desktops. When you look for the trashcan, do you look for the word trashcan, or do you look for the image of the little trashcan? Everybody responds to the icon quicker than they do to the words.

In business education circles today, the inherent power of metaphors as advanced communication tools and vehicles for change is being widely recognized. Francesco Sofo[1] notes that “metaphors can refocus the familiar and show it in a new light,” “provoke a vivid image which make future actions more tangible,” and “connote meanings on a cognitive, emotional, and behavioral level in a holistic way.” He says further that “the metaphor makes messages highly memorable and facilitates the reframing of views and mental sets. . . .” Brink^2 has outlined that metaphors are more easily heard than rational explanations and, therefore, encourage listening, and because the symbolism is creative, they have the power to stimulate reflection and action. Broussine and Vince^3 state that metaphors have the power to promote engagement and through engagement, change. And finally, Bennis^4 found that successful leaders have an ability to use metaphors to make their vision clear to others. Wow, today’s cutting-edge business educators are promoting the power of teaching methodologies utilized by Christ 2,000 years ago!

This should be no real surprise to us. After all, Jesus knows what works. He made us (see John 1:1-3; Col. 1:16). It is also little wonder that Jesus is still using this most powerful of teaching methods in our dreams and visions today.

This is why the Internet, television, and radio, and media like them, are very influential forms of communication. The Internet is very powerful because it is full of images and has tremendous potential to be used for good or for evil. I am not saying the Internet is wrong; it is just a means of communication and can be a great source of information. My own children use it regularly for study and good purposes. Unfortunately, this so-called information highway is also being used to flood and corrode our society with a plethora of pornographic, occultic, and other ungodly information.

I personally make a habit of listening to the Word of God over and over because faith comes from hearing the Word (see Rom. 10:17). If we listen to the Word of God over and over again, it gives our inner ear greater opportunity to hear (see Ezek. 3:10). When I was a child, I struggled with dyslexia. Nowadays, by listening to dramatized versions of the Word of God on my iPod, I am able to visualize and retain more of what I hear. In a similar way, God not only gives us mental images in dreams, but also at times provides an emphasis-adding audible “voice-over” as well. This is in line with the fact that our minds give priority to images and audio over-and-above mere written words.

God also uses parables because He knows that we will be hungry to know what the dreams mean. I have found that, as soon as we understand that God speaks to us this way, we get even hungrier to know what He is saying. As the Scripture has it, “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter” (Prov. 25:2 KJV).

It is inherent in us to search for the answer to the code—the Divinity Code— He has set before us. Indeed, there is a blessing for those with this hunger, because the Bible declares that there is fulfillment in asking, seeking, and knocking (see Matt. 7:7).

Finally, God uses parables because they have an inherent ability to bypass the heart’s natural defense mechanisms. We witness this in the correction of David after he commits adultery with Bathsheba (see 2 Sam. 12:1-15). Nathan, the prophet, comes to David and relates a parable of a rich man stealing a poor man’s one and only ewe lamb. David makes a judgment concerning the rich man, and the prophet reveals the hidden truth behind the parable—David is that rich man! He is convicted and repents of his actions.

So God speaks to us in parables because they relate to us, and have greater potential to be anchored in our minds, just as Jesus’ disciples remembered His teachings and, later, wrote the Gospels. He also encodes His wisdom using metaphors because they are more readily received, they create a hunger in us for the interpretation, and they bypass our heart’s natural self-protective tendencies.

Chapter Five

Are All Dreams From God? (Part 2)

By Adrian Beale

Because of the nature of some of their dreams, many people think that God is not the author of all dreams. The authors believe that God speaks to us through every dream, but is He the author of every dream? Yes and No. The vast majority of our dreams are God speaking directly to us. However, the Scriptures also seem to indicate that the enemy has an ability to provide visionary experiences, and we ourselves are able to influence what God reveals through our dreams.

Dreams From the Enemy

Consider the enemy for a moment. When Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil, the devil was able to manifest a vision of the future. The Bible records, “Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time” (Luke 4:5).

Note that the devil was able in some way to provide a vision of future kingdoms. Who led Jesus into this situation to be tempted? God—the Spirit—did (see Luke 4:1). God was always in control. He knew the enemy’s abilities and allowed it. Who authored the vision? On one level, the devil did, but on a far superior level, God did because He had foreknowledge of the devil’s plan, permitted it, and used it in accordance with His will and purpose. We must always remember that the enemy can only do what God permits. For this reason, we should not be too quick to ignore or discredit any dream on the grounds that “It is not from God.”

Biased Dreams

It also appears that God will reveal the agendas on our hearts through our dreams. This seems to be the essence of God’s communication through Jeremiah,

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you cause to be dreamed (Jeremiah 29:8).

It may be that this text does not refer so much to a “self-generated” dream, but rather that it is potentially explained by another Scripture,

Therefore speak to them, and say to them, “Thus says the Lord God: ‘Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols’” (Ezekiel 14:4).

This says that if we come to God with preconceived plans (our idols), then God will answer us (in this case, in a dream) according to that which is in our hearts. God causes the dreamer to dream a dream that reveals the idolatry within the heart. In terms of God’s statement to Jeremiah, these are the dreams “you cause to be dreamed. ”

The dream is a message from God to show dreamers the states of their hearts and is designed to bring them back to God. This is why Ezekiel continues to say, “that I may seize the house of Israel by their heart. . . ” (Ezek. 14:5).

Balaam

Balaam went through a similar situation. He was initially told not to go with the messengers of Balak the king of Moab who wanted him to curse Israel (see Num. 22:12). However, when the next envoy came to Balaam with the promise of greater reward, we find God apparently changing his mind and telling Balaam to go with them (see Num. 22:20). In the morning, as Balaam sets out on his journey to Balak’s camp, we find out that God is angry with Balaam (see Num. 22:22). Why? Balaam was going against the purposes and command of God by going with Balak’s men.

How can that be the case when the Bible records that it was God who told Balaam to go the second time? “And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, ‘If the men come to call you, rise and go with them. . .’ ” (Num. 22:20). God spoke to Balaam what he wanted to hear. In Balaam’s case, it was his greed that allowed his heart to be seduced. Similarly, God will speak to us in dreams that our hearts “cause us” to dream because of the idolatry there.

Discrediting God

It is really important that we do not move too quickly to discredit the source and, therefore, the veracity of our dreams. Let me give you a couple of examples. While I was working in a teaching role at a Christian rehabilitation program, one of my students had a dream that he was injecting his own neck with a syringe. Now this was something that he had never done in real life. On similar occasions other Christian teachers had told me that, “God would never remind a person of where they’ve come from.” They would try to further discredit the dream by saying, “That’s sick; that’s from the enemy!” But on this occasion, I simply asked the dreamer, “Are you seeking a quick fix here? For this is the interpretation of your dream.” As I asked this question, you could see the conviction of the Holy Spirit on the person’s face as his heart was revealed. That student did not want to fully embrace Christianity, but was undergoing the program with an ulterior motive, and God revealed the motivation of the heart.

Another example that is not uncommon is when a married man or woman may dream of having sex with someone other than their partner. Don’t be too quick to write these dreams off because of the pangs of guilt. This is particularly important if there is no sexual arousal in the dream. (Sexual arousal generally indicates a lust or temptation issue is involved.) Sure enough, in the natural, this does not sound like a work of God. However, when we consider that one of the metaphors for sexual intimacy is “union” with another, and if we understand that kissing may be interpreted as “embracing” or “seduction,” we learn not to write off these messages so quickly. So, a man being kissed by a woman in black may be God saying we are being seduced by death! And we need to consider the name of the person (if that person is known to us) kissing us in the dream. Being kissed by “Linda,” for example, may say that we are embracing the enemy. Linda means “one who comes with wisdom,” but its German root lindi means “serpent” or “snake-like.” These are serious warnings that we would be wise to heed.

Dreams: The Product of Brain Chemistry or Conditioning?

Some may even believe that dreams are merely the product of brain chemistry or conditioning. If that is the case, how would you explain two people getting exactly the same dream? Honestly, what are the chances? Yet this has been recorded on several occasions, but I will cite only two readily-available and documented accounts to confirm my point.

Firstly, in Reinhard Bonnke’s book, Even Greater, Reinhard details the story of how he and his brother, Jurgen, had the same dream, though thousands of miles apart and living very different lives. The dream showed Jurgen crossing a suspension bridge and falling into an abyss. After this dream, Jurgen asked God to confirm that it was indeed a warning from Him by verifying it in some way through his brother. When Reinhard wrote to Jurgen detailing exactly the same dream, the witness of the two dreams led Jurgen to receive Christ as his personal Savior!1

Secondly, in the book, India: One Act of Kindness, by Brendan McCauley, God gave two sisters—Bini and Beena Thampy—the same dream of the Second Coming of Christ on the same night to encourage them and their family in their dedication to the Lord’s work in India.2 If you want to feed your faith, both of these books—which are present-day accounts of the Acts of the Apostles—are well worth the investment.

Take Them All Seriously

Finally, if we believe that God is only the author of some dreams, and if we discredit the weird ones as either from the enemy or as figments of our own imagination, we have become like those who rule out unpalatable passages of Scripture as uninspired. I like that dream, but I don’t like that one. So all the nice dreams are from God, and all the others—corrective and disciplinary ones—are from the enemy. When we pick and choose which dreams are inspired and which are not, we close ourselves off from the full counsel of God. The ultimate consequence of this is spiritual insensitivity, leading to an imbalanced and powerless Christian walk.

Rather than ignoring them, we are to realize that dreams are dealing with real heart issues. Consider how much of the problem of our heart’s insensitivity or bias is addressed when we begin to see that God is communicating through all dreams and start to take them all seriously.

Chapter Six

Visions

By Adam F. Thompson

Step Into It and Grow

I have learned over the years that walking in the Spirit and moving in the prophetic is something in which we grow. Why is that relevant in a book on dreams and visions? To understand, we need to reconsider God’s message through Joel. He says,

. . . I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17; Joel 2:28).

This passage points out that there is a link between prophecy and dreams and visions. In reality, dreams and visions are a vehicle to bring us into the prophetic. That is not to say that we are all prophets in the five-fold ministry sense of the word (see Eph. 4:11). However, dreams and visions are one of the primary ways in which God communicates to His prophets. This is confirmed as God says through Moses, “ . . .If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream” (Num. 12:6).

Therefore, in pouring out His Spirit, God has equipped all of us with the ability to prophesy. That should get us excited and expectant. Just as God told Israel to begin to possess the land inhabited by the enemy as they moved from the wilderness into the Promised Land, so God tells us to spiritually step into what He has for us today (see Deut. 2:24, 31). As with Israel, God is encouraging us to begin possessing what belongs to us, because without the understanding that it is ours, we lack the faith to step into it.

Having been stirred to move in the spiritual gifts, such as prophecy, we need to understand that God doesn’t just wave a wand and give us them overnight. It is a gradual thing. There will be times when we make mistakes. When I first started moving in the prophetic, I became discouraged if I made an error. I thought that perhaps I had misunderstood God and that He didn’t really want me to move in the gifts. However, I have discovered that it doesn’t matter if we make mistakes. The Lord will help us to grow while learning from our mistakes. This is one of the reasons why the Bible sets forth that we are to judge prophecy—including the interpretation of a dream—(see 1 John 4:1) and also explains the need for the schools of the prophets during the ministry of Elijah (see 2 Kings 2).

Sensitivity Required

A person might have a powerful spiritual gift of seeing in the Spirit as a seer (one who has visions), prophesying, or even interpreting dreams, but it is another thing to have the sensitivity of heart to know if, when, and how to deliver what that person is shown. The prophetic is as much about knowing what to do with what God shows you as it is about having the discernment of heart to receive what He shows you. At times, God will simply give people spiritual insight so that they can pray for those to whom the revelation relates, often without those it concerns knowing it. We always need to ask the Holy Spirit for wisdom to match the gift, because although our hearts may be zealous, the Holy Spirit helps us to be effective.

Getting visions is common among prophetic people or those who are baptized in the Holy Spirit and moving in spiritual gifts. A vision can come either while we are awake or when we are asleep. Often visions come and we are not even aware that we have received one. I personally have found that two of our most receptive times to receive visions are just before we fall asleep or, conversely, just as we are stirring to consciousness, but not yet awake. At these times, because of our insensitivity to the voice of the Spirit, we are prone to miss what God is saying, as “. . .the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him” (1 Cor. 2:14a).

As explained earlier, a vision is a revelation straight to the human spirit, a deposit from God injected into our spirits that interrupts soulish or conscious activity. However, without spiritual discernment, our natural inclination is to dismiss and ignore such revelations as vacant meanderings of our own mind.

I often get visions when I pray for people. It is very much like having a dream while being awake. These visions are mostly metaphoric or symbolic in nature. However, they can also be literal. When God gives me the interpretation of the vision, much like He would a dream, and I speak it out, it becomes a powerful prophecy in the lives of those with whom I am praying.

I remember once praying for a young man, and as I prayed, God gave me a vision of him working at a tire business. In the vision, he was working at a blue bench, and in front of him was a windowsill which had a potted plant on it. I saw him looking out the window dreaming about the desires of his heart. As I described the scene, he told me that I had described his workplace with incredible detail. He said he actually did look out the window and daydream about the things he wanted. The vision and prophecy that went with it encouraged him in the Lord and revealed that God cared about him individually and had a plan for his life.

Joel’s prophecy says that “youryoung men shall have visions” (Joel 2:28). From the material presented in this book, it should be evident that this means that God has made a way for every believer to operate in this spiritual gift today, just as Jesus did. When Jesus was introduced to Nathaniel, He said, “Behold,, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit” (John 1:47). There’s a depth revealed in this declaration, not evident to those who did not know Nathaniel personally. An Israelite with deceit would have been a fleshly man, a Jacob, or a grabber. Nathaniel, on the other hand, is a very devout Jew—an apparent rarity in Jesus’ day. Therefore, he naturally responded by asking, “How do You know me?” to which Jesus replied, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you” (John. 1:48).

Now it was obvious that Jesus was not there physically to see Nathaniel under the fig tree. I believe that Jesus had a vision and had seen in the Spirit that Nathaniel was alone by the fig tree prior to Philip calling him. Sometimes the metaphoric and literal natures of visions run simultaneously, as they do here. When Jesus saw Nathaniel by the fig tree, where I believe he was praying, He was provided with a metaphor of him being a true Israelite because the fig tree represents Israel, and his act of praying was a literal confirmation of that metaphor. Jesus’ vision was the faith-generating foundation to the power of this encounter. In revealing Nathaniel’s heart, it opened him to see Jesus as the Son of God.

Vision Leading to Renewal

Recently while waiting upon God when I was ministering in India, I received a vision of a pergola that was half covered (an outside wooden structure with only half a roof). Immediately I sensed God saying to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I see a half-covered pergola.” In my spirit He said, “Half of My people here are not under My covering. Half are still serving the gods of their fathers. They are serving two masters.” Instantly a Scripture came into my spirit. It was,

I will also destroy the idols, and cause the images to cease from Noph; there shall no longer be princes from the land of Egypt; I will put fear in the land of Egypt (Ezekiel 30:13).

I knew that God was asking me to preach about pending judgment on the nation of India, particularly warning Christians against walking a dual path. Those under Christ would be protected, whereas those living a syncretized lifestyle would receive judgment. As you can imagine, this was not a message that was going to tickle ears, but because I have vowed to preach what He gives me, regardless of politics and the fear of people, I shared this message in several meetings in and around Pithapuram. Sure enough, some people walked out of those gatherings, but in every church where I preached this message, 20-30 percent of the congregation came forward to rededicate their lives to Christ! At one church of around 300 people, the pastor’s daughter came forward, repented, and rededicated her life to Christ. Can I suggest that for her to do that would have taken true Holy Spirit conviction because of the politics and cultural influences involved? Visions are an extremely powerful vehicle of communication from God to which everyone needs to be open and attuned.

Hunger to Hear and Do the Will of God

The question you may be asking yourself is, “How can I experience visions?” Well, it is simple! Visions are just one of the ways God’s Word is communicated to us when we earnestly desire to hear and fulfill God’s will. God uses visions from cover to cover of the Bible to communicate with humankind. He used a vision to speak to Abram, “After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision. . . ” (Gen. 15:1). And He used visions in giving the apostle John the Book of Revelation, “. . I heard the number of them. And thus I saw the horses in the vision” (Rev. 9:16b-17a).

Peter captures the hunger required as he speaks about the Old Testament prophets and their desire to know about the coming of Christ,

. . . the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified . . .To them it was revealed . . (1 Peter 1:10-12a).

Notice that the nation’s “watchmen” (the prophets) hungered or, as the text puts it, “searched carefully” and that “it was revealed” to them as a result of that hunger. The fact that God brings revelation in response to our hunger to hear and fulfill God’s will can be seen as we consider a few Scriptures.

Beginning with Moses’ words to Israel about the purpose of the wilderness wanderings, we read,

And you shall remember that the Lord your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness. . . So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord (Deuteronomy 8:2-3).

Here God wants us to see the parallel between physical hunger and its spiritual counterpart. Whilst not denying our physical need (“man shall not live by bread alone”), the emphasis is on understanding that our greatest need is spiritual food, “ . . .but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord” (Deut. 8:3).

How important is this? In case we miss it, as the Israelites did in the wilderness, Jesus comes to our rescue in the New Testament by restating these exact words in response to temptation to meet His physical hunger (see Matt. 4:4; Luke 4:4). Jesus graduates where Israel failed because He was hungrier for God’s Word than for physical food! Job brings us this same truth as he says, “. . .I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12).

By allowing Jesus to complete the picture for us in John’s Gospel (when speaking to His disciples about the Samaritan harvest), God links the fulfillment of His will with food. When Jesus’ disciples requested that He eat, Jesus responded by saying, “I have food to eat of which you do not know” (John 4:32).

When they missed the point He was making, He spelled it out for them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” (John 4:34).

It is little wonder, in Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well (which precedes these verses), that so much was revealed to Him about her personal life. When we hunger to know God’s Word and fulfill His will with similar fervency, we can be sure He will communicate to us, and one of His main methods will be visions.

A Personal Hunger Rewarded

Several years ago the Lord gave me a desire and a passion to pray in the Holy Spirit for long periods of time. At the time, as the owner of an advertising agency, I had the opportunity to do just that. God allocated the time; two hours in the morning before work, two hours at lunch time and two hours in the evening praying in the Holy Spirit. I did that, six hours a day, five days a week for two years. As you can imagine, some people thought I had “lost it.” But, as I walked and prayed, the Holy Spirit started to do things in my life. A lot of the issues and the flaws in my life and some of the major strongholds (like the deceitfulness of riches and the cares of the world and the lust of the flesh) started to break off my life.

The Bible says, “. . .Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7). This is a universal truth. If you sow righteousness, you will reap righteousness. If you sow sin, you will reap sin. When it comes to sowing into prayer and having a passion to seek God for periods of time, you will reap the rewards. God has also promised that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (see Heb. 11:6). My current ministry is testimony to the Lord’s faithfulness to honor His Word, for I have been blessed with visions, the gift of interpreting dreams, and the witness of seeing signs and wonders following the preaching of the Gospel.

The Anointing Breaks the Yoke

While I was ministering in Pakistan recently, the Lord gave me a vision. I was looking out at the audience when the Lord showed me that a particular woman had pain associated with one of her legs. Now this woman was wearing a long gown down to the ground, so that you could not see her legs with the naked eye. However, what I saw in the Spirit was some kind of infection on her leg. I declared what God was showing me and asked her through an interpreter whether she could confirm my words. Did she indeed have pain in that particular leg? When she confirmed what God had shown me, I then called her forward for prayer. I have found that when you are seeing in the Spirit and declare what you see, it builds faith in those involved. I prayed for healing of her leg and then continued ministering in the gifts and preaching the Word. I gave it no further thought. However, a week later I was again in the area where this gathering had been held, and the people were abuzz with excitement and expectancy because the woman had been healed of leprosy in her leg! All glory to God!

On the same trip I was on my way to catch the plane home and somewhat pressed for time. We called in at a particular pastor’s home to say a brief farewell. As we entered the home, there was an air of grief about the place because the pastor’s father had had a major heart attack and was lying on a bed on the floor. The family did not know whether their father would make it through the night. I offered to pray for him, and as I did, the Lord showed me the man on his feet and doing things with a smile on his face. I once again declared what the Lord had shown me and that this sickness was not unto death. About a week later, I was back home at my desk when I received a phone call from the pastor whose father had been on that deathbed. He was rejoicing because his father was up and about, smiling exactly as the Lord had shown me. Praise God!

Similarly, a couple of years ago, I visited a family to give God’s interpretation of a dream. As I sat with the husband and wife interpreting their dream, I received several visions. In one I saw a car at the front of their home with a man in it with a young lady. The Holy Spirit laid upon my heart that there was a sex predator around their daughter. I asked about their daughter and if she was involved with a man who wasn’t a Christian. It turned out that this vision was literal. The couple was very concerned about their daughter. A relationship had developed which included parking outside their home prior to dropping her off at night.

As we were speaking, I had another vision of their daughter standing in a clothes shop with a man behind her. I wasn’t quite sure what it meant, so I described what I saw. This time the vision was a metaphor. The mother said that they were having considerable debate about their daughter’s choice of clothing. The daughter was wearing revealing clothes, which was a concern to her parents because she dressed in a way that would attract and cause men to stumble. There had been extensive disputes and arguments about her dress code. After our discussion, we prayed, and as I was prophesying into their lives, the Holy Spirit broke something very powerful over the family. The next night when the daughter came home, she told her mom that God had spoken to her. She wanted to apologize and get back to serving God. The daughter went on to say that her parents were right and that she wanted to change her life and do what God wanted her to do. The parents were in awe of what God had done in that one brief encounter when we prayed and broke the demonic yoke that was over their family. This is a great example of how visions release faith that enables people to powerfully receive from God and break the enemy’s yoke.

I believe that this is the way that God wants us to minister. There is nothing like being led by the Holy Spirit. It is just like Jesus with the woman at the well (see John 4). He knew that she had had five husbands, and it opened her up to receive what Jesus was saying to her and led her to gather the townsfolk, which set the scene so that revival could break out. If we claim to know Jesus, the Bible says we will walk the way He walked (see 1 John 2:6). And Jesus walked in this way. He was the prophet of all prophets. He did not need any promotion. He did not need any publicists. The power of the Holy Spirit was His herald, drawing crowds through signs and wonders. Visions are a major key for the Holy Spirit to prepare the ground, open people, and build faith for that which is to follow. Even now you may be receiving things in the Spirit, but not understand them. God could be revealing to you the future plans of the enemy operating in the second heaven (the spiritual realm) so that you can prepare for spiritual warfare, or He could be showing you the third heaven (where He dwells) and its storehouse of miracles. These spiritual downloads empower us to “call things that are not as though they are” (Rom 4:17) and see them manifest into the natural realm. I trust the few experiences I have related here will inspire you to step out with what you receive.

Deception Revealed

As mentioned earlier, sometimes we receive visions when we are falling asleep. You know that time when you are not fully asleep, but in that zone just before falling asleep. Someone may be reading this right now and saying, “Yes, I get that!” Well, at one of those times I had a vision, a vivid vision of the Mona Lisa. It was so vivid and real that it quickly brought me back to consciousness. I came to myself thinking, Why did I have a vision of the Mona Lisa? I told my wife about it and the next day began some research on the Mona Lisa. However, it took about eight months for true understanding to be revealed. At times, God doesn’t give the interpretation of a dream or vision straight away. I found out that this famous painting has been associated with mystery and intrigue. The experts are not sure why she was painted or if she was even a real person. The consensus of opinion was that she was not an upright woman. Apparently, in 16th century Italy, if a woman wore her hair down, she was classed as a “loose” woman. However, eight months after I had the vision, the National Research Council of Canada announced that new 3-D imagery technology had revealed that the subject of the painting originally had her hair up in a bun.1 After all this time, it was finally settled that she was a woman of high moral standing. In terms of a metaphor, the Mona Lisa signifies mystery and deception.

Now, to carry this thought a little farther, if we get a dream or vision about a woman, it can represent the Church. If we see the woman as a businesswoman, it can represent the Church becoming a marketplace. God revealed to me that the vision of the Mona Lisa is a metaphor of what the Church has become in the world’s eyes. While the true Church of God is a woman of high stature and moral reputation (see Eph. 5:27), the enemy has painted the Church to look like a woman of low moral standing. The media particularly takes great pleasure in exposing any loss of her virtue.

When the movie The Da Vinci Code was released, it came with its worldwide platform of media hype and promotion. Even 6 to 12 months after the movie, the marketing paraphernalia still filled the stores. Though merely a novel, Dan Brown’s book had some advocates believing it to be a true story. The enemy gained ground from it because those living in darkness want to believe the lie and quell their troubled consciences. But when the dust settles, like the painting that was a pivotal part of the novel, like the picture painted of the Church by the devil, and like the movie taken from Dan Brown’s novel, all we’ve seen is deception.

When God doesn’t immediately provide an interpretation for a dream or vision, like the Mona Lisa vision, it may be that He has a deeper revelation to bring (see John 11:6, 25). It may also be that God uses the timing of the interpretation to develop patience (see James 1:3), create greater faith (see Heb. 11:910), or profoundly strengthen the inner self by causing us to wait upon God with greater desire (see Isa. 40:31). Sometimes one dream or vision may not give enough of the message for it to be firmly interpreted. In this case, further revelations—in visions and dreams—will give direction to the interpretation.

Finally, it is possible that the delay between the revelation and its interpretation is designed to prevent human effort from sabotaging God’s purpose. Whatever the reason, whenever we receive a dream or vision, we should always wait upon the Holy Spirit to provide the interpretation. However, if one is not immediately forthcoming, we can rest assured God will always bring forth an answer to the genuine enquirer in His time and with our best interests at heart.

Summary: Chapter Six

•    According to Acts 2:17, dreams and visions bring us into the realm of the prophetic.

•    We grow in the prophetic, learning from our mistakes.

•    The prophetic is as much about knowing what to do with what God shows us as it is about having the discernment of heart to receive what He shows us.

•    Two very receptive times to receive visions are, firstly, just when we are falling asleep, and secondly, just as we are stirring from sleep.

•    Metaphoric and literal elements can be combined in dreams and visions.

•    Visions are just one of the ways God’s Word is communicated to us when we earnestly desire to hear and fulfill God’s will.

•    We are to hunger for God’s Word and the fulfillment of His will more than we do for our natural sustenance.

•    If we sow in prayer, we will reap His answers.

•    Visions are a major key for the Holy Spirit to prepare the ground, open people, and build faith for that which is to follow.

•    Like the Mona Lisa, the true Church of God is a woman of high stature and moral reputation which the enemy takes particular delight in painting as a woman of low moral standing.

•    When an interpretation for a vision or dream is not immediately forthcoming, we can be sure that God will bring an interpretation to the genuine enquirer in His time and with our best interests at heart.

Chapter Seven

Counterfeit Interpretations by the occult

By Adam F. Thompson

The Source of Interpretations

As established in the first chapter, God has poured out His Spirit on all flesh in accordance with the prophecy of Joel,

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17; Joel 2:28).

It should also be evident, after reading the opening chapters, that it is God’s will for us, through the Holy Spirit, to prophesy and to have dreams and visions. However, it is one thing to have dreams and visions; where we go to obtain their interpretation is an entirely different matter. Many unknowingly turn to the occult in their desire for answers.

At this point, it is important to understand that the devil is not a part of the Godhead. He is actually a fallen angel, a created being, and he cannot create anything but mayhem. While it is impossible for him to constructively create, he is the master of imitation and deception. As the thief (see John 10:10) he will, through imitation, attempt to steal the glory that rightly belongs to God and rob the inheritance that belongs to the saints. Consequently, when we look at those who dabble in occult practices, such as tarot cards, astrology, palm-reading (even interpreting dreams), what we see is the devil imitating and perverting what God has for the saints. Likewise, when people go to clairvoyants, they are visiting counterfeit prophets and seers. Clairvoyants have an inherent sensitivity to the spirit realm and most likely have familiar spirits operating in their lives (see Acts 16:16; 1 Sam. 28:7). Having bought the devil’s lie—that they are clair-voyant—they enter the heavenlies illegally and assist the devil in seizing what God has for the saints.

Once we understand that God is the Creator and the devil is the imitator, we don’t have to fear that Christian dream interpretation or the gifts of the Spirit are vehicles to bring us into the occult (see 1 Cor. 12). God initiated our spirituality, not the devil. The occult is a mutation of what God had originally planned for us. Consider that a counterfeit Picasso painting has no value unless there is an original. Operating in the image of God as spiritual beings simply moves us into God’s original plan. The fall of humanity robbed us of this primary calling to walk and talk with God as fellow spirit-beings (see Gen. 3). However, it was not the plan of God that we should remain without a spiritual dimension. And so, through His death upon the Cross, Jesus once again made a way for us to fulfill our true spiritual nature. Born-again believers have been re-created to become the Spirit-led people God intended them to be (see 2 Cor. 5:17)—able to prophesy, move in the gifts of the Spirit, and interpret dreams and visions. This is nothing new. It is what we were created to do. Jesus did not die for us that we would merely be saved, but that we would be saved, filled, and empowered by His Holy Spirit and fulfill the perfect plan that He has for us. Those who enter the heavenly realms using occult practices are doing so illegally according to the Word of God, and place themselves under a curse and at enmity with God (see Lev. 20:6; Deut. 18:11-12; 1 Chron. 10:13).

The Danger of Half Truths

Jesus told His disciples, “. . .when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. . .” (John 16:13). Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will reveal, “all truth,” that is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The devil, on the other hand, likes to feed us partial truths. You may be thinking to yourself right now, What does that mean? The devil knows that half-truths are more destructive, addictive, and convincing than blatant lies. Being deceived and anesthetized by a half-truth often keeps us away from the whole truth. How blatantly real this is! The devil has effectively swamped the spiritual arena with many half-truths, making it harder for the righteous to make it through unscathed. Every weekend we witness religious door-knockers sincerely pounding their beats trying to coerce others into their organizational web of half-truths. If you have ever tried to converse with those believing a half-truth, then you have experienced the ensnarement of half-truths and the associated difficulty of breaking the mental strongholds they create.

Similarly, at the Fall, satan said to Eve, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God” (Gen. 3:4-5). Now while that is partially true, it is not the whole truth. The devil, acting like the slick salesman he is, peels off all the benefits, but conveniently omits to tell the shortcomings or consequences of his proposal. It was true that humankind would become like God in one dimension (choosing between good and evil), but he did not tell them that their disobedience would bring humankind into sin, suffering separation from Almighty God.

This reminds me of an incident that happened about 20 years ago. A female friend got saved and was born-again. However, being a young Christian, she was very ignorant about the Word of God and what was right and wrong. After her conversion, the grace of God was fully on her life, yet she was robbed spiritually due to her lack of knowledge. She had arranged to be baptized, but in the week prior, she went to a clairvoyant, one whom she had been consulting regularly before her salvation. The clairvoyant did not know she was going to get baptized, but as he was giving his prophecy into her life, he told her he sensed she was going to go near water. She said, “Yes, that’s true,” and it drew her in. The clairvoyant said, “If you are going near water, that is dangerous. You must stay away from water.” That really confused her and brought fear into her, and unfortunately she did not get baptized, but went back into the world. This is a classic example of how the enemy can reveal some truth to deceive us.

A similar thing happened when Jesus went into the desert after His baptism. The devil tried these same tactics of half-truths on the Messiah. Praise God, Jesus overcame the devil! The devil threw truth at Jesus, even using Scripture to try and deceive Him. However, as the Word of God personified (see John 1:14), Jesus, pulsing with Spirit and Life (see John 6:63), was able to outmaneuver and humiliate the enemy. Though Jesus was at the end of a 40-day fast, it was the devil who withdrew, needing respite after this encounter (see Luke 4:13).

Jesus defeated the devil on the same grounds that you and I do, through living the Word. Notice that I did not say, “By quoting the Word of God.” Many people can quote the Word of God, but fewer are living it! Our victory is not in knowing the Word of God, but in Jesus (the Word of God) knowing us (see Matt. 7:22-23). We are to so absorb the Word of God that it is no longer we who live, but He who lives in us (see Gal. 2:20). God is still empowering the “Word become flesh” today, by His Spirit.

Jesus not only won the opening round, He went on to win the ultimate victory at Calvary. The Father raised Him from the dead and seated Him in heavenly places. The Bible says that we share in that victory. Paul states that God has “. . .raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus” (Eph. 2:6).

This means that, in Christ, we also have overcome the world—with its lusts—and are victoriously seated, by faith, in Heaven. The Holy Spirit has also given us discernment and spiritual gifts to hear from God so that we understand all the truth (see John 16:13). When we know truth, anything short of it sets alarm bells ringing. As believers, we have a responsibility to be immersed or baptized in the Word—through study and application—so that we can detect the faintest hint of falsity. We need not turn to the occult or the New Age for interpretation, because the interpreter is “on-board” within us, and He will draw from the deposit of the Word within us to bring the interpretation.

Summary: Chapter Seven

•    Where we go to get our dreams and visions interpreted is important. Many turn to the occult in their desire for answers, not realizing the consequences of their actions—placing themselves under a curse and at enmity with God.

•    The devil is the master of imitation and deception.

•    As the thief, the devil steals the glory due to God and the inheritance that is rightly the saints’.

•    Going to clairvoyants or palm readers or using tarot cards, astrology, and New Age dream interpretation materials is effectively opening oneself up to counterfeit prophecy and deception.

•    Jesus did not die for us that we would merely be saved. God also made provision with the infilling of the Holy Spirit for His children to live as the true spirit beings they were destined to be. Dream and vision interpretation is just exercising our spiritual senses in the Holy Spirit so we go on to receive our God-given inheritance.

•    The devil likes to feed us half-truths. These not only deceive us, but also keep us from exploring the whole truth.

•    Half-truths create mental strongholds that have the potential to rob us spiritually.

•    Our victory over the devil is not in merely quoting the Word of God, but in Jesus (the Word of God) knowing us!

•    When we know truth, anything short of it sets alarm bells ringing. Therefore, we have a responsibility to be immersed in the Scriptures through study and application.

Chapter Eight

Beyond Dreams and Visions

By Adrian Beale

A Statement of Doubt and Unbelief

Near to my home is a church with a notice board which at this very moment reads, “The gifts of the Holy Spirit are not available today.” What a statement of doubt and unbelief! This billboard is an announcement that what goes on behind those doors is merely intellectual and dead religion. A denial of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is a blatant denial of the Word of God and is a prime example of those who claim it is possible to know God apart from His Spirit.

In building a scriptural response to such a declaration, let us consider a few points. In 21 chapters, the apostle John outlines the life of Jesus as God become man. Of those 21 chapters, which span a period of three years, almost a quarter of the book (chapters 13—17) is allocated to the upper room discourse, which took only a few hours. This stark contrast of content allocation against time says that the communion around the Last Supper is vitally important and is not captured without purpose. Prior to His departure, in the midst of that intimacy with His disciples, Jesus promised that He would send His replacement. He said, “And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever” (John 14:16).

Take note how long Jesus said His replacement would be with us. He said forever! Now, considering in greater depth the words Jesus used here, we also discover that the word another is the Greek word allos, which means “another of the same quality.” There is a Greek word which describes “another of different quality.” That word is, heteros.1 Let me illustrate this. If I gave you a tennis ball and then said, “I will give you another ball” and proceeded to give you a golf ball, I will have given you another (heteros) ball of a different kind. If I am to give you another (allos) of the same kind, I would have to give you another tennis ball. Therefore, in choosing to use the word allos, Jesus meant that He would send someone exactly the same as Himself. This means that we cannot only be sure that the Holy Spirit has come, but also that He is of the same essence and quality as Jesus and that He is here forever. It is also not unreasonable to expect, because they are the same, that the replacement would have a ministry like the One He replaces.

If at this point we add Peter’s declaration that the Holy Spirit—the Promise of the Father (see Luke 24:49)—is available “to all who are afar off” (Acts 2:39), we immediately recognize that the statement on the billboard is in violation of Scripture. Peter’s pronouncement not only confirms Jesus’ promise that this gift is not limited by time, but also confidently asserts that it is not restricted by distance either. Are we distant in distance or time? Then it is for us!

Our current common understanding of the word helper (see John 14:16) is also far from its biblical usage. The word helper is the Greek word parakletos, which comes from a word which means “to speak to” and “to encourage.” It describes someone who is a legal advisor or advocate.2 This is why Jesus says in the previous verse, “If you love Me, keep My commandments” (John 14:15). When we are legally right with God by keeping His Word, the Holy Spirit (as the Parakletos) comes forward as the representative of Christ and is empowered to undertake for us while Jesus is absent from the world. The Holy Spirit will only undertake in line with the Word.

Finally, take note of the words Luke uses to open the Book of Acts. “The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach ” (Acts 1:1). Does Luke say, “all that Jesus completed”? No! He deliberately says that his former work—the Book of Luke—only portrays what Jesus began to do and teach. That beginning, as seen in the ministry of Christ, is continued because the Holy Spirit is poured out so that all believers are empowered to do even greater works (see John 14:12). In using the words, do and teach, Luke also silences any ambiguity about Jesus’ continued ministry through the Holy Spirit. We can be sure that if there is proper teaching there will also be doing to confirm that Word (see Mark 16:20). The Book of Acts is then a confirmation and proof that Jesus has not finished, that He has not packed up shop and gone home, but that He is still continuing both in doing and teaching today by His Spirit. To say that the gifts of the Spirit are not for today is a statement inspired by the devil, propagated by those who seek to strengthen their own religious position (see Matt. 12:24) and who are mindful only of the things of people (see Matt. 16:23).

While most churches would not make a blatant confession like the one this chapter opens with, the obvious lack of the gifts of the Spirit flowing in the Church today may indicate that we are settling for such a belief in our hearts.

God Awaits an Invitation

God is the Master Craftsman. He is capable of engineering the events in people’s lives with incredible precision. The Bible is full of examples of what may look like just a random sequence of events that then turn out to prefigure events in the life of Christ. Some examples are the life of Joseph (as discussed earlier), Abraham’s offering up of Isaac on Mount Moriah (see 2 Sam. 12:1-15), and the death and resurrection of Jonah, to name a few. One such sequence in the life of Christ reveals truth about the Holy Spirit that I would like to share now. We are likely to miss this gem without the opportunity provided by this longitudinal preview.

John’s Gospel records that after He had fed the five thousand, Jesus perceived that the people would come and take Him by force and make Him king (see John 6:15). This same Scripture says that when Jesus saw what was about to happen, He departed alone to the mountain. This is very significant.

There was to be a day when Jesus would accept the people’s accolades as their king, but this was not it. That day was yet to come and was manifest as the day of His triumphant entry into Jerusalem (see Luke 19:37-40). The prophet Daniel records that day in prophecy with pinpoint accuracy. He says that recognition of Meshiach Nagid (Messiah King) would take place 173,880 days^3 from the date of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem (see Dan. 9:25-26). On the exact day prophesied by Daniel, Jesus entered Jerusalem, accepted recognition as their king, and was subsequently executed as the nation’s substitutionary sacrifice. This is all recorded in Daniel’s prophecy.

Therefore, when John records that Jesus went up the mountain alone, he is showing us something deeper. In Mark’s account of this episode, he tells us that Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, and then He went up the mountain to pray (see Mark 6:45-46). John adds, “Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea” (John 6:16).

If we make a parallel between going up the mount and Jesus entering Heaven (see Heb. 8:5), recognize that evening is a metaphor for Jesus’ departure (see John 9:4-5), and also note that Jesus is praying for His disciples in Heaven (see Heb. 7:25-26; Rom. 8:34), an incredible insight is revealed to us.

In outline, what we see is:

•    Jesus broken as the Bread of Life (see John 6:35)

•    Feeding an innumerable number of people

•    Being proclaimed king

•    Rising up into Heaven

•    His physical absence from the earth

•    Praying for His disciples

•    The disciples making their way across the sea of humanity.

Hopefully you can appreciate that what we are seeing outworked here is a prophetic prefiguring of what was about to happen.

Therefore, when Jesus comes down to His disciples and observes their struggle rowing (see Mark 6:48), we see His current response to our own need when we are likewise working in our own strength. As eye-opening as that may be, what is even more remarkable is what Mark next records. “Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by” (Mark 6:48b). Did you see that? Jesus sees their struggle “and would have passed them by. ” What was He doing? Couldn’t He see their need? What was He waiting for?

Before we offer an answer, let’s consider also how He appeared to them on the sea. Mark says, “But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out” (Mark 6:49 KJV). They perceived Jesus as a spirit, a point echoed in Matthew’s Gospel, but they were mistaken because Jesus was physically walking on the water. It is no coincidence that their misconception is recorded because this is how Jesus passes by us today, as the Holy Spirit. Stop and think about that for a moment. What is He waiting for? He is waiting for a faith-filled invitation (see Matt. 14:28) and a ceasing from our own works of the flesh (see John 6:21) before He enters into our boat.

Jesus reinforces this truth when He appears, unexpected and unrecognized, after His death, to two disciples on their way to Emmaus (see Luke 24:13-31). The Bible records,

Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. ” And He went in to stay with them (Luke 24:28-29).

How amazing! After achieving the greatest victory in the history of human-kind—resurrection from the dead—here is Jesus awaiting an invitation before entering into communion with His disciples. Only in the light of the forthcoming ministry of the Holy Spirit can we fully explain this anomaly. It illustrates the disciples’ ignorance and emphasizes their need for sensitivity. The truth here is that although the Holy Spirit is incredibly powerful, we are in need of heightened spiritual awareness to commune with Him.

An Awakening to Relationship

This is a lesson that is seen in the life of Elijah. Elijah had a tremendous victory on Mount Carmel, a victory that included calling down fire, killing 450 false prophets, breaking a three-year drought through prayer, and outrunning the king’s chariot (see 1 Kings 18:19-46). Yet, in the very next chapter, we see God contrasting power with the inner voice of the Holy Spirit to break a wrong mindset within Elijah. The Scripture records,

Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord. ” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice (1 Kings 19:11-12).

Like Elijah, we can be so caught up with the ministry or the manifestation of God’s power that we miss the need for relationship with Him. As in all relationships, it is only in heart-to-heart communication that we truly hear what the other is saying. Sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is developed when there is less room in our own hearts for self. Elijah had a fixation that he was the last godly man standing (see 1 Kings 19:10,14). This was a wrong mindset, brought to the surface by Jezebel’s death-threat, which took advantage of burnout due to his overwork in the ministry. God’s mighty demonstration of power to Elijah highlights the need to appreciate the distinction between a manifestation of God and God Himself. In the light of this, we are always to remember that visions and dreams—as a manifestation of the power of God—are not an end in themselves and, though they lead us in the purposes of God, they are ultimately to direct us deeper in our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Following this object lesson, God commissions Elijah to anoint two kings and Elisha. It is interesting to see that Elijah caught what God was trying to convey because, like Enoch before him, he was taken up as one who walked with God (see Gen. 5:24). Perhaps more revealing is the fact that Elijah did not personally anoint the two kings, Hazael and Jehu, as he was commissioned by God to do, but that Elisha, his understudy, did (see 2 Kings 8:13-15; 9:1-3). What does that say? It says that, in getting closer to God, Elijah lay down his life by pouring it into his successor. In doing that, he created and developed an unquenchable hunger and sensitivity for the Holy Spirit in Elisha. This hunger was openly displayed on the day in which Elijah was taken up. (If you haven’t read Second Kings 2:1-14 recently, please stop here and take the time to familiarize yourself with its contents.4)

This was an appetite that would not stop for repeated offers of rest or be dissuaded by the voice of his peers (see 2 Kings 2:2-6). He would not settle for conversion (symbolized by Gilgal) nor be content at coming into the House of God (symbolized by Bethel). Under Elijah’s training, Elisha developed such hunger that he would not be satisfied merely with a demonstration of God’s power (symbolized by their trip to Jericho). He was prepared to lay down his life (Jordan, which means “descender” or “death”) and was rewarded with a double portion of the Holy Spirit!

Have We Forgotten the Cost?

Somehow, we read about the great exploits of Old and New Testament saints and even of Christ Himself, and yet we forget the cost. Considering Jesus for a moment, whilst we recognize and reverence Him as the God-Man, it is important to remember that He did not perform His miracles as God, but as a man. The miracles He worked were those of a man empowered by the Holy Spirit, to show us how it is done. Yes, that’s right. He was as totally reliant upon the Holy Spirit for ministry as we are. Why else did He need to be anointed? As Luke records,

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord

(Luke 4:18-19).

And elsewhere it says,

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10:38).

It is easy to lose sight of the fact that as a man (like all the Old Testament greats before Him), Jesus needed an anointing of the Holy Spirit to minister— an anointing birthed and renewed in prayer. Again, in Luke, the Gospel that speaks about Jesus as a man, we read,

When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended. . . (Luke 3:21-22).

The anointing is poured out in prayerful relationship. It is no coincidence that we see Jesus in prayer—in the wilderness (see Luke 5:16), before He chose His disciples (see Luke 6:12), before Peter’s confession of faith (see Luke 9:18), at the transfiguration (see Luke 9:28-29), before teaching His disciples to pray (see Luke 11:1), and after feeding the 5,000 (see Matt. 14:23)—and it should be noted that on the night of Jesus’ betrayal that Judas knew where to find Him because He often withdrew to that place to pray (see Luke 22:39; John 18:2). It was not so much that He went to prayer because He was about to minister, but rather that His ministry flowed out of His relationship with God, as marked by prayer.

Not only does the Bible record that He prayed, but it also captures His desire for prayer, “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed” (Mark 1:35). And on another occasion He “continued all night in prayer to God” (Luke 6:12). Jesus was passionate about prayer. It was like oxygen to Him.

Sadly, we lack that fervency today. Many mistakenly believe that it was different for Jesus and that we could never attain to His level of ministry. That is a lie that hampers our spiritual progress. For the most part, we are like the disciples in the garden of Gethsemane; our spirits are willing, but the flesh is weak.

When you meet someone genuinely passionate for the things of God, it is truly inspirational. I have been fortunate to work with such a person on this project. In more than 20 years of ministry, I have not met another person who has the ability to consistently move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit like my coauthor. It is not surprising that the unction with which he moves has come at tremendous personal cost. Though he has already shared about his two-year investment praying in the Spirit, he hasn’t told you about the 40-day fasts, or the countless nights on his face before God in prayer, or his prayer-partnership with his best friend, Todd. It shouldn’t be any surprise, then, that his unquenchable passion for souls and obedience to God will cause him to leave his office to minister to a dying soul on the other side of the city or to openly preach the Gospel on the city streets. It has also led him to encounter typhoons in the Philippines, to be eaten by fire ants in the jungles of Southern Mindanao, and to cause the churches in which he was ministering in India to be “stoned” by Hindu fundamentalists.

So far in this chapter, we have confirmed the presence of the Holy Spirit with us today. We have discussed the need for increased sensitivity to commune with Him, and we have seen the difference between a manifestation of God and God Himself. We have also explored how this revelation comes with a call to a deeper personal relationship with God. This led us to recognize the cost of prayerful relationship for the anointing we seek.

Seeing Ourselves in the Mirror

It has been long said that the New Testament is in the Old Testament concealed, and the Old Testament is in the New Testament revealed. The premise on which this is based is that the New Testament opens Old Testament truth that was previously hidden from human understanding. While this is true, it is also worth noting that the Old Testament in its physical and positional “types” opens to us deeper understanding of our spiritual standing in the New Testament. So that we can take this discussion farther, it is worth looking at two very revealing parallels in the Old Testament to appreciate where we stand in the plan and purposes of God today.

1: Moses, Joshua, and Judges

Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt, but it was Joshua who led them into the Promised Land. Though Joshua began to clear Canaan of opposition forces, the Bible also records that,

. . .the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

And it happened, when the children of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but did not utterly drive them out (Joshua 17:12-13).

The Book of Judges follows Joshua and describes this same inability to push home the advantage gained through Joshua’s invasion. We read,

But the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; so the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day (Judges 1:21).

The first chapter of the Book of Judges records this failure to drive out the inhabitants by the respective tribes: Ephraim, Zebulun, Asher, Naphtali, and Dan (see Judg. 1:29-34). Why did they fail to take hold of all that God had promised them? In the next chapter we read,

“And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall tear down their altars. ” But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this? Therefore I also said, “I will not drive them out before you; but they shall be thorns in your side, and their gods shall be a snare to you” (Judges 2:2-3).

The reason that Israel failed in their conquest was that they began to settle down and relax when the job was only half done. They embraced the values of the society around them and consequently paid dearly for their spiritual apathy.

2: Elijah, Elisha, and Gehazi

As we have already discussed, Elijah passed on the mantle to Elisha, who received a double-portion of the Spirit that was upon his mentor. Elisha had someone who he was likewise preparing to pass on the baton to. His servant and understudy was Gehazi. However, after God had healed Namaan the leper through the ministry of Elisha, Gehazi went after Namaan to receive the reward his master had turned down (see 2 Kings 5:20-27). On Gehazi’s return to Elisha, his master’s words to him are particularly enlightening. Elisha says,

Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants? (2 Kings 5:26)

As is indicated by the words, “Is it time,” Gehazi had no idea where he stood in the purposes of God. He also had no appreciation of the anointing he would have received if only he had not sought material security.

3: John the Baptist, Jesus, and. . . ?

Now, to bring this closer to home, Jesus said that the ministry of John the Baptist was a parallel to that of Elijah. Speaking of John, Jesus said, “And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come” (Matt. 11:14). And He also said,

But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him. . . Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist (Matthew 17:12-13).

So John held a parallel spiritual role to that of Elijah. It was not by chance that Jesus’ baptism took place in the Jordan, the same place where Elijah passed the mantle on to Elisha. And the Jordan was also the place through which Joshua would lead the children of Israel so that they could enter their Promised Land. Like Moses before him, John prepared the people by leading them in renewal in the wilderness so that they, likewise, could come into the Kingdom being opened by Christ (see Matt. 4:17, 12:28). It is no coincidence that the name Joshua is the Old Testament equivalent of the name Jesus in the New Testament. Are you getting this? Moses and Elijah are a type of John the Baptist. Joshua and Elisha were foreshadows ofJesus. Gehazi holds the same position as the children of Israel in the Book of Judges, but who holds this position today? Who did Jesus pass the mantle on to? Answer: the Church. Whoa!

The Church

Could it be that God was forewarning us that the Church, like the children of Israel, would be prone to embrace the world and stop short of God’s intended goal?

Entry Versus Conquest

I hear some say, “But didn’t Jesus do it all for us?” To answer that question, let’s go back to Joshua’s crossing of the Jordan River for a moment. The Scripture records that Joshua said, “Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan” (Josh. 3:11).

What does the ark represent? Well, what did it have in it? It had the two tablets of stone containing the Ten Commandments, Aaron’s rod that budded, and a piece of the manna from the wilderness. The tablets represent the Word of God, Aaron’s rod represents resurrection, and the manna represents the bread of the wilderness. Who is the Word of God, the Resurrection, and the Bread of Life? Jesus is all three! So the ark here represents Jesus. What does Jordan mean? Jordan means “descender” or “death.” So the ark entering into the Jordan represents Jesus passing into death. What happened when the feet of those who bore the ark touched the waters of the Jordan? The Bible says, when the feet of the priests touched the water,

That the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away [all the way back to] Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho (Joshua 3:16).

When the anointed bearers of the Ark entered the river, the water retreated all the way back to a town called Adam. If we recognize that “the wages of sin is death. . . ” (Rom. 6:23) and that it is no coincidence that the town was called Adam, we will realize that we are foreseeing physically a spiritual truth yet to happen in Christ’s death upon the cross. When Jesus entered into death (the Jordan), the flow of sin was rolled back to Adam. Hallelujah! The children of Israel subsequently built a memorial with 12 stones, which represent the 12 apostles (see Matt. 16:18), and then symbolically cut off the flesh through circumcision before proceeding to take the Promised Land. Was the Promised Land given to them through the ark causing them to cross over on dry ground? Yes and No. Yes, God had made a way, and no, they had to clear the land as they were led by God (see

Josh. 5:14-15). As we have already seen in the Book ofJudges, Israel failed to press home their advantage. Flanked by fear, they chose rather to embrace the society they were sent to conquer. Today, we can see whether Jesus has done it all for us by looking at the equivalent of land clearing and simply asking ourselves a rhetorical question: Are there still those oppressed of the devil and unsaved in our world?

Jesus would have passed the disciples by, and likewise the Holy Spirit is walking past our boat right now. But could it be that, like Gehazi, we are prone to miss where we stand on God’s timeline and find ourselves clamoring for superficial security in our homes, cars, and retirement plans?

Like Elisha before us, we cannot afford to be content to just arrive at conversion (Gilgal) or to stop at the house of God (Bethel) or be satisfied by a display of God’s power (Jericho). Let us rather cut off the flesh (crossing over the Jordan) and push in to receive all of the Spirit that Jesus has for us! Let us not forget that Jesus has said,

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father (John 14:12).

In these words, He is promising us a double-portion of His Spirit. Are we as hungry for the Spirit of our Master as Elisha was? Are we prepared like Elisha for the tests of perseverance? Or are we comfortable just to adopt the fatalistic stance of our peers?

We can and should get excited about dreams and visions, but we are not to settle here. God has so much more for us than we could ever imagine. Dreams and visions are but a catalyst to awaken and revitalize a sensitivity and hunger within us for the Holy Spirit. Lifting our spiritual eyes, we see that there is a Kingdom to be won and the offer of a double-portion anointing to lead us into complete victory. If this book does anything, let it create within you a passion for the Holy Spirit that will not be satisfied with anything less than the fullness of God!

Summary: Chapter Eight

•    The Holy Spirit is exactly like Jesus and comes to complete the work that Jesus began.

•    The Promise of the Father (the Holy Spirit) is available to everyone independent of distance and time.

•    Wherever there is correct teaching, there will be accompanied doing of the works of Christ. The Book of Acts is confirmation that Jesus has not finished His ministry.

•    The ministry of Christ outlines the ministry of the Holy Spirit today.

•    One such series of events sets out:

•    Jesus broken as the Bread of Life

•    Feeding an innumerable group of people

•    Being proclaimed King

•    Going into Heaven

•    His physical absence from the earth

•    Praying for His disciples

•    The disciples struggling in their own strength across the sea of humanity

•    Christ coming to them as the Holy Spirit

•    The need for increased sensitivity in dealing with the Holy Spirit

•    Although the Holy Spirit is incredibly powerful, we are in need of increased sensitivity to commune with Him.

•    The life of Elijah illustrated the importance of making the distinction between a manifestation of God and God Himself.

•    Dreams and visions are manifestations of God; they are not an end in themselves. They are to direct us into a deeper relationship with God.

•    The miracles Jesus performed were of a man anointed by the Holy Spirit, to show us how it is done.

•    The anointing is poured out in prayerful relationship.

•    Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt. Joshua led them into the Promised Land. The Book of Judges shows us that Israel failed to take all of the land because they embraced the world they were supposed to conquer.

•    Elijah passed the anointing on to Elisha. However, Elisha’s servant and would-be replacement—Gehazi—failed to understand his time by clamoring after material security.

•    John the Baptist led the people out in preparation for Jesus’ ministry. Jesus led the people into the Promised Land and in turn passed the baton on to the Church. The Church, like its predecessors—Judges and Gehazi—has stopped short of what God intended for her!

• There is still a job to be done; people are still going to hell! We cannot camp on Jesus’ accomplishments. The Holy Spirit wants to lead us into more so that we can complete the work. We are not to get hung up on dreams and visions; they are but a means to help us complete the conquest of bringing the Promised Land to others.

3.    In working through Daniel’s prophecy (see Dan. 9:25-26) we need to consider that:

•    All the ancient calendars were based on a 360-day year.

•    69 weeks speaks of 69 weeks of years. The Hebrews had a week of days, a week of weeks, a week of months, and a week of years (Lev.25:1-22; 26:33-35).

•    Therefore, 69 weeks = 69 X 7 X 360 = 173,880 days.

•    For a complete breakdown of Daniel’s prophecy, see Chuck Missler, Cosmic Codes (Idaho: Koinonia House, 2004), 235f.

4.    Gilgal means “circle of stones” and was the first camp of Israel after crossing the Jordan River (see Josh. 4:19-20). It is the place where Joshua renewed the rite of covenant by circumcising all the males born in the wilderness and thus “rolled away the reproach of Egypt” (Josh. 5:2-9). Gilgal, therefore, symbolizes the rolling away of the heart of stone and the beginning of the life of faith. Bethel means “House of God” and symbolizes the new home in which we have been adopted as heirs. Jericho is the place of Israel’s first victory in Canaan and is also known as the City of Palms (see Deut. 34:3). It, therefore, symbolizes the victory we come into by exercising the Word of God (see Rev. 12:11). Jordan means “descender” or “death.” The journey Gilgal>Bethel>Jericho>Jordan, therefore, depicts the walk of faith from the new birth to glory. The fact that Elisha receives a double portion anointing suggests that this is also a depiction of his path to maturity in the Spirit!

Chapter Nine

The Language of Dreams: The Principles of Interpretation

By Adrian Beale

It is important to point out that there is no formula for interpreting dreams. It is more about cultivating a relationship with the Holy Spirit than applying a series of rules for interpreting. This is because God the Holy Spirit is the author of dreams:

. . .God has shown Pharaoh [through his dreams] what He is about to do (Genesis 41:28).

And the dream. . .is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass (Genesis 41:32).

For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds (Job 33:14-15).

Then, being divinely warned in a dream. . . (Matthew 2:12).

. . .And being warned by God in a dream. . . (Matthew 2:22).

He is also the interpreter of dreams:

But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known. . .your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed. . . (Daniel 2:28).

Do not interpretations belong to God. . . (Genesis 40:8).

. . .Because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation (Daniel 4:9).

However, having established this truth (and that a person wanting to interpret needs to have a foundation in the Scriptures), there are some individual principles to assist in opening God’s messages through dreams.

Before delving into these principles, two Kingdom truths that strengthen us in the Word and the Spirit need to be unfurled. The first of these is that spiritual understanding is not a mental faculty; it is a dimension of the heart. This is highlighted when Jesus explains the parable of the sower. He says,

When any one hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.

This is he who received seed by the wayside (Matthew 13:19).

Here Jesus links the heart with understanding, explaining that a heart that lacks understanding is vulnerable to becoming unproductive. Jesus further explains two other soil types—stony and thorn-ridden—and then says,

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty (Matthew 13:23).

Notice that both the unproductive and productive soil-types hear the Word. The difference is in the understanding. The understanding spoken of here is the application of the Word on a person’s heart. To put it another way, understanding comes when someone is “under-standing” (or under the authority of) the Word of God. This verse says that we will only bear fruit when we are applying the Word of God to our lives. And since the gift of the Holy Spirit is conditional on obedience (see John 14:15-16), we are not going to be able to interpret fruitfully without applying the Word to our hearts.

The second principle is this. We who consider ourselves Spirit-filled—those who are baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues— must not be merely Pentecostal by name, but also by nature. It is not enough to speak in tongues in public church life; it must become a key and substantial part of our everyday life. The apostle Paul said,

But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you unless I speak to you either by revelation, by knowledge, by prophesying, or by teaching? (1 Corinthians 14:6).

What is he saying? He is saying that speaking in tongues is the avenue for growing in sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Why else would Paul pray in tongues more than everybody else? (See 1 Corinthians 14:18.) Perhaps, like Paul, you do a lot of traveling—riding on a bus, driving a truck, or walking to school; all of these are opportunities for you to exercise your spirit person by praying in tongues.

In developing our inner selves through speaking in tongues (see Jude 20), we open our hearts as receptors of Holy Spirit revelation, knowledge, prophecy, and doctrine. If we are serious about entering the spiritual Promised Land, we must also be like Israel (see Josh. 6:8-10) by firstly shutting down the doubt-ridden natural mind and then placing the spiritual trumpet to our lips to see the barriers come down.

*M/L = Metaphor or literal dream, Table B

Metaphor or Literal

It is imperative to recognize that the vast majority of dreams are metaphors. They come as parables, riddles, and puzzles to be decoded. Of the 20 dreams recorded in Scripture, 12 of them are symbolic in nature. That is, 60 percent are metaphors, compared with 40 percent that are literal (see Table B above). Literal dreams do not require interpretation because they do not consist of symbolic images. In our experience, the percentage of parable-type dreams is higher today than that of Scripture. This is probably because the Holy Spirit has been poured out and the Bible is more readily available.

As the majority of dreams come as parables, a very common mistake is to disregard such dreams because they utilize elements of something to which we have recently been exposed. Say, for example, I find a bee floating in the dishwater in the kitchen sink, and that night I dream about a swarm of bees. If I wake and say to myself, “I had that dream because of that bee in the sink last night” and then dismiss it as nonsense, I have missed God’s voice. This is because God takes the opportunity to use the images to which we have been freshly exposed to give us new perspectives on our spiritual walk. Just as Jesus related to fishermen with net casting (see Matt. 4:19), to farmers with seed sowing (see Matt. 13:1-9), and to a strongly relational society with scenes of marriage (see Matt. 22:37-39), so the Holy Spirit loves to use images fresh in our memories, often throwing in abstract elements and people we know to convey truth.

I experienced one such dream after watching a war movie with my wife. That night I had the following dream,

A foreign army was invading, and I saw them at the base of a huge rock that went down into the sea. I and others were positioned somewhere higher on the rock looking down at their landing. I ran to get rifles and ammunition to shoot at them. To do so, I had to crawl through the entrance of a narrow sandy cave about one foot high. There was something like a dozen orange candles on the base of this sandy entrance which led down deeper into the cave where it opened up. The candles were all at different stages of dying out. The majority were just wax mounds where once there had stood a candle. At this point in the dream, I had the revelation that this was only a dream, and yet the scene was so vivid and real I could practically smell the wax and the cool sand. Down beyond the entrance were two of my compatriots—one male, one female. The entrance was so narrow I thought that the roof could collapse on me at any minute and I would die here. I realized that it did not matter if I died here because if I didn’t get through, I would die anyway when the enemy overran the place. I realized that I must not give up and that there was something greater at stake here. I made my way through the narrow entrance and down into the cave where the male person (who reminded me of actor Mel Gibson) took me through a different exit to a powerful dune buggy-type vehicle, and we went to get the arms we were after.

In the next scene we had the arms (rifles and ammunition) and were on our way back, and I was conscious that the enemy were infiltrating.

Mel showed me on a plan how he had worked out to get us back to the hotspot. He, as the driver, was going to jump the car onto the roof of a fortress-type structure and again jump it onto the top of a wall that ran toward where we needed to go. It looked pretty spectacular and exciting, but I was confident in his ability to get us to the hotspot. I was also aware that we would be shot at on the way.

My natural man was saying, “What a ridiculous dream!” Yet, here is its interpretation.

The invasion speaks of a subtle, evil plan of the enemy (see Gen. 3:1; Acts 13:10). I have nothing against foreigners; the Spirit of God is just using them as a parallel from the past to show a deeper spiritual truth today. Their invasion speaks about the infiltration and subtle influence of technology leading the Church away and captive (addicted) to entertainment. The cave speaks about the Church hiding. This is the female deep in the cave. The narrow sandy entrance says two things. First, that the way is going to be under pressure (see Matt. 7:13-14). Second, it says that we, the Church, are toying with the Word of God. The orange candles are a warning about the state of the Church and its fading apostolic mandate (see Matt. 28:19; Luke 11:33; Acts 1:8). For the most part, the Western Church is being drawn into a flesh-comforting, entertainment-rich lifestyle. As a consequence, we have become spectators expecting people to come to us instead of going out and carrying the message we have been given.

The fear of death I experienced on crawling through this narrow opening represents the fear of ridicule I feel I will experience for sharing this revelation. The realization that something greater is at stake says that I will proceed with this because I realize if I don’t, the Church is in jeopardy. The awareness that what I was experiencing was a dream, and yet it appeared so real, says that even though it was just a dream, it is a certain spiritual reality.

Mel means, “chief” (see Eph. 2:20; 1 Pet. 5:4), and therefore, Mel Gibson in this dream represents Jesus Christ, who has been taken into hiding by the Church (the female). The dune buggy symbolizes a powerful ministry driven by Jesus Christ who will carry this message onto a preaching platform (see Matt. 10:27) and over the obstacles and barriers (walls) that would otherwise prevent it. The rifles are willing hearts (launching pads) for words, and the munitions are those words. Being shot at speaks of “friendly-fire” from people within the Church for carrying this message.

Is the Western Church being lulled into a false security? (See Revelation 3:17-18.) Have we gradually become spectators of the Gospel instead of bearers of its life-giving message? Are we worshipping God or the riffs and melodies of the music we have created to do so? Don’t misunderstand what I am saying; I am not saying we should get rid of all electronic devices, but that we should all examine our hearts to make sure that it is indeed God we are worshipping. If these questions and issues raise concerns within us, then it is evident that we need a new level of sensitivity to the Spirit of God and His Word, especially as they come to us in dreams.

God is waiting for the Church to reawaken spiritual sensitivity so that He can give the world dreams for Him to interpret through us, dreams that will confirm His reality. There is, therefore, a need for a “School of the Prophets” in which to grow and develop that spiritual sensitivity. Sadly, without a prophetic edge, we continually revert to the systems of people to build the Church.

Now, back to the dream. Does it sound weird? I think it does! But perhaps it is no weirder than seven emaciated cows coming up out of a river and eating seven fat cows (see Gen. 41:10) or a man’s heart being ripped out and being replaced by an animal’s heart (see Dan. 4:16). What does the Spirit of God tell you about it? Does He say, “Too much pizza!” or “There’s truth in these words.” So many dreams that the Holy Spirit has allowed Adam (my co-author) and I to interpret are introduced to us by people saying, “I had a really weird dream. . ..” Don’t disregard any dream, no matter how bizarre. It is God speaking to you. (An explanation of the metaphors used to interpret this dream is found in the dream and vision sample section of this book. See dream 53.)

Speaking again in general, about symbolic or metaphoric dreams, a few years ago, I dreamed that I saw one of my daughters was taken by a great white shark. At the time, the image put a fear in me that my child would be taken while at a family outing to the beach. Today I would know that this type of dream is more likely to be a warning from God of a predatory person. This is a warning to be vigilant in the area of childhood associations and friendships. If my daughter were older, it could be a warning of sexual, financial, or contractual predatory behavior.

As the majority of our dreams are metaphors, they are more likely to convey a spiritual parallel. A bush fire is more likely to indicate judgment, and a car accident is probably a warning of a potential family, ministry, or business mishap. At this point, however, it is really important to see that a potential spiritual catastrophe should be treated with the same urgency that its physical counterpart would be treated with. This is because the spiritual well-being of a person, city, or nation is more important than their physical welfare (see Matt. 16:26). The reason I say that is because we are talking about the contrast of a brief physical life compared to eternity. And there is no comparison.

Context

Just as it is important to consider the context of Scripture when putting meaning to it, so it is equally true that dreams need to be interpreted with consideration for the environment in which they occur. I will occasionally get phone calls or SMS messages asking for the meaning of one element of a dream. Unfortunately, without the rest of the dream and a measure of understanding of the circumstances surrounding the dreamer, an accurate picture is unlikely.

Let’s consider a Biblical example. Suppose we are considering the meaning of a particular character in a Scripture, let’s say, Jacob. When Jacob is on his way back into Canaan, just before he meets his brother Esau, he has an encounter with God at Peniel (see Gen. 32:22-32). God wrestles with Jacob to get a confession from, and a revelation to, him. A pivotal point comes in this encounter and is recorded in this way, “So He said to him, ‘What is your name?’ He said, ‘Jacob. ’ And He said, ‘Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel. . .’ ” (Gen. 32:27-28a).

Jacob has to come to understand who he is. His name literally means “Grabber, swindler, or supplanter”; it describes someone who is only out for himself. This picture is confirmed in Scripture as he steals both the birthright and the blessing from his brother Esau. It continues as we see him working as hard as he can to cheat a bigger swindler, Laban, when Laban’s flocks are conceiving (see Gen. 30:37-42).

Now if it was God with whom Jacob was wrestling, why did God ask him his name? Surely He already knew! He asked him his name so that Jacob would make a confession and receive a revelation. This is the same confession you and I need to make to come to God. We first need to see ourselves as sinners. Sin has its root in selfishness, so sins are the things we do without consideration of others (see Isa. 53:6). In saying his name, Jacob says, “I’m out only for myself!” After that confession, God through His grace says, you shall no longer be called “Swindler,” but “Israel,” which means “a Prince with God.” Jacob is a picture of the fleshly person—the old self—who is only out for himself despite any self-righteous acts he may perform. When God said he will be called Israel, God was calling him to live according to the spiritual person. From this point on, whenever we see Jacob and Israel mentioned, Jacob represents the fleshly person in action, and Israel the spiritual person.

We see this in the very next chapter of Genesis after Jacob has met his brother Esau. He agrees to meet his brother at Mount Seir, but because of fear—the fleshly person in operation—he goes in a totally different direction and finds himself at Shechem (see Gen. 33:14-18). This is where his daughter Dinah gets raped (see Gen. 34:2). God has to remind him that his name is Israel and no longer Jacob (see Gen. 35:10). We might think this would clinch it for him, but no, we find Jacob still in there wanting to run the show, but losing the battle against the spiritual person right up until his death in chapter 49 of Genesis. The study of the use of the two names through these chapters is worth investing an hour or two.

With that insight, we might think that every time we see Jacob (and its derivatives, James, Jamie, Jackie, Jake) in the Word (Scripture and dreams), we are seeing the fleshly person. However, this is not always the case. It is true when we see Jacob and Israel together, but when the name Jacob appears with Esau, then it is a different matter. Compared to Esau, Jacob is the spiritual person and Esau the fleshly person. This truth is what is behind the following Scripture, “As it is written, ‘Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated’ ” (Rom. 9:13; see also Obad. 1:18; Mal. 1:2-3)

Just as the meaning of Jacob is dependent on who he is mentioned with in Scripture, so the meaning of an element of a dream is dependent on its surroundings. The principle of considering the context, therefore, teaches us that the elements of interpretation of one dream are not necessarily transferable to another. The context of the dream will influence the meaning. What is going on in the life of the dreamer also needs to be considered as context.

The Ping Pong (Table Tennis) Dream

A good example of the importance of context is shown in a dream I had while preparing this material. This occasion was unique for a number of reasons. Firstly, before I went to bed that night, I heard in my spirit very faintly the sound my cell phone makes when it receives an SMS message. I gauged from this that God was going to speak to me through a dream that night. Early the next morning, sure enough, I awoke to a dream.

In the dream I was playing table tennis with my daughter’s ex-basketball coach, Glenn. The ball was solid rubber. When Glenn served, it was in such a way that the ball hit the table without any bounce and rolled off the table. It was impossible for me to play a shot. I said to Glenn, “I will continue to play this way, but you are not giving me a chance to play the ball!”

I roused myself and, in the dark, wrote the outline of the dream down on the 8” x 5” notepad on my bedside cabinet. As I lay there thinking through what the dream could mean, I was vacantly looking at the clock also on the cabinet, when the Holy Spirit told me to note the numbers on the clock face. The clock read, 3:46: Now, that hadn’t happened before; neither has it happened since then.

What did this dream mean? To understand the dream, you would need to appreciate what was happening in my life at the time (i.e. the context of my life). That day my wife and I had gone shopping. As we were coming out of a store, my wife was crying. I said to her, “Are you alright?”

She said something like, “I’m OK.” It was evident that she was not, but that was not the time nor the place to pursue the matter.

Just to back-track a little, that particular week my family had arranged to go on holidays with their cousins to a seaside location. While they—my wife and children—were away, I was to stay home so that I could get some of this material written. This arrangement had been in place for three weeks, and I thought that my absence from them was understood and agreed upon. However, the day before our shopping trip, my wife asked me why I wasn’t coming with them. I said, “I thought we had arranged for me to write some of the book while you are away,” to which there was no reply.

After a few minutes meditating on the dream, I knew what God was saying. I could tell my wife was also awake. So I turned to her and said, “Are you awake? God has just spoken to me in a dream. Do you want to talk?”

She said, “Yes, OK.”

So, I told her the dream. And then I said, “This is what I believe God is saying. Glenn means, ‘Lives in the valley.’ ” I went on gently, and I said, “Honey that is you; you are feeling down at the moment. The ball represents words. You are not saying anything, and you are not allowing me to speak.” I paused, then continued, “The numbers on the clock say that you have allowed a resurrection (three) of the rule (four) of man (six) in our relationship.”

My wife started crying as the Holy Spirit plumbed her heart. Then she explained that she had received a couple of phone calls that week from friends asking her why I wasn’t going away with the family. This had the detrimental effect of causing her to reevaluate and misconstrue my absence and internalize her hurt. The dream helped her identify the root of the problem. We re-established my need for space so that I could work on the book and resolved the issue. After a time of prayer, my wife and children left for their holiday with harmony back in our relationship.

Though personal, this dream shows how important it is to have an understanding of the events in the life of the dreamer (its context) for correct interpretation to take place. For this reason, when interpreting for a third party, you will most likely have to ask some questions to complete the picture of its context.

A few years ago, I would have totally missed what God was saying through this dream. It would have been nonsense, perhaps associated with the curry or the late night I had the night before.

Meditate on a Dream as a Whole Before Offering an Interpretation

Following on from this is the need to take one’s time, particularly with longer dreams, before venturing an interpretation. Daniel applied this principle when interpreting Nebuchadnezzar’s dreams. As the following Scripture shows,

“This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you. ” Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. . . (Daniel 4:18-19).

There are at least three good reasons for taking our time with an interpretation. Firstly, we need to see the overall image God is conveying in the dream. We may have individual elements pegged for certain parts of the dream, but until we can see the overview, we will not know how they fit what God has mapped out. It is easy to be led into false interpretation as we move from the elements to the whole (overview). We must also consider how the whole affects the elements if we are to get a true interpretation.

Secondly, we must take our time to “see” the dream. What I am trying to relate is that we need to look through, or past, the scenes and actions of the dream to gain understanding. For example, Jeremiah was directed to view the potter before God had him deliver His message to Israel. As the Scripture outlines,

The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying: “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words. ” Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make. Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel” (Jeremiah 18:1-6).

Just as Jeremiah gained an increased understanding of God’s desired message to Israel through observing the potter, so we need to look beyond the mere words of the dream to “see” what message God is conveying through all the scenes.

The third reason to take our time is so that we can seek God’s wisdom in knowing how to deliver the interpretation to the dreamer. It is one thing to have an interpretation; it is another to know what action the dreamer should take from the interpretation and how to convey that.

Joseph, when giving the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams, is the classic example. Filled with the Spirit of God, he said,

Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven plentiful years. And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, and let

them keep food in the cities. Then that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine (Genesis 41:33-36).

Pharaoh then acknowledged before his servants, “Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?” He continued by saying to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you” (Gen. 41:38-39).

The key to knowing how to deliver an interpretation (and indeed how to interpret the dreams we are given) is to have receptive hearts toward the Holy Spirit. Notice that Joseph no longer is clamoring to be released, as we saw in Chapter 2. He has now dealt with the past, is filled with the Spirit of God, and is, therefore, at peace with God and within himself. This also illustrates the truth that we cannot interpret at our best when we are not in the Spirit because of overwork or stress.

Sequence Importance

Closely relating to the last two major points is the importance of the sequence or order of the dream. We not only need to get the context and the overview; we also need an accurate sequence or order. Sequence relates strongly to seeing through the scenes in the dream. If, for some reason, the person who has had the dream has recorded information out of order, it can throw the intended meaning into disarray. Make sure things happened in the order they are described by listing the main points of the dream before writing up the final draft of the dream.

Past, Present, and Future

Not all dreams relate to the future. At times, God will pick up a scene from the past to set the context and build faith by revealing something only you and He know, then show where you are today before moving on to where He is directing you in the future. In these dreams, the opening scene may hint of a journey. These types of dreams are relatively long and may begin in, or center on, a vessel or vehicle (see Dream Samples 28 and 48) or a hallway or corridor.

Very often dreams reveal the state of the local church or people’s hearts. These dreams are those where God discerns and discloses truth that only He and those concerned know. In disclosing this insight, He is bringing that which is not even conscious to the fore so that the individual, church, or ministry can see and address issues. When these dreams are experienced by a third party, the dreamer needs tremendous wisdom and an awareness of the timing of God to know if and when they are to deliver the dream or its interpretation to those it concerns.

Not all dreams and interpretations need to be revealed. At times, some dreams are just informing you how something looks spiritually or what is happening spiritually in a situation. At other times, they are a call to prayer.

Repeat Dreams

When God repeats a matter, it is a sign of confirmation, importance, imminence, or urgency. A repeat dream says you weren’t listening the first time. If we experience repeated dreams, we need to take note because God wants us to act on the message. When addressing Pharaoh, Joseph said, “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass” (Gen. 41:32).

Here Joseph explained that the repeated dream confirmed God was speaking to Pharaoh and that what was revealed was about to happen. In Pharaoh’s case, the two dreams were not identical, but were two powerful views of the same impending issue (see Gen. 41:17-25). In the original manuscripts of the Book of John, Jesus sometimes began by saying, “Truly, Truly” (John 1:51, among other occurrences). Each time, Jesus firmly captured His disciples’ attention before imparting powerful spiritual truth. In much the same way today, the Holy Spirit attempts to gain our attention through a repeated dream to impart spiritual truth.

When Abraham was about to sacrifice his own son in obedience to God, God caught his attention by repeating his name (see Gen. 22:11). Abraham was so intent on obedience that God had to repeat his name to break that focus and prevent the sacrifice. Likewise today, God will break a wrong or intense focus and also impart urgency through a repeated dream.

God, in His grace, many times gives unbelievers repeat dreams concerning their eternal spiritual welfare. Dreams of people falling, washing, toileting, flying in fear, or of dark figures around the bed are strong calls for people to get things right with God so that their spiritual person has an eternal future in God’s presence.

Feelings

The feelings of the dreamer are indicative of much of the meaning conveyed in the scenes of a dream. Even when the visual elements of two dreams are the same, the feelings of the dreamers may be vastly different. It is therefore important, where possible, to describe the feelings associated with a given situation. Anger, fear, confidence, or anxiety in a particular scene conveys just as much meaning as the visual images.

For example, flying in a dream can be either an exhilarating or terrifying experience. Both scenes describe life in the Spirit. The one accompanied with exhilaration will generally convey moving in the gifts or flowing with the Spirit of God. The scene that is enjoined with fear says something is not right spiritually and carries with it a warning of danger.

Gender

When we see someone in a dream as a male or female, it is no assurance that they portray someone of that gender in real life. In many aspects of heavenly thinking, both male and female are related as humankind. Speaking to wives, Peter says,

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price (1 Peter 3:1-4 KJV).

Peter, in addressing wives, speaks of them adorning the “hidden man of the heart. ” This non-gender aspect is also evidence that both male and female are included in Scriptures that talk about the man of the flesh. Paul to the Romans states,

Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin (Romans 6:6).

It should be obvious that both male and female are included in this address to live as dead to sin. For this reason, an old man in a female’s dream can represent her “man of the flesh,” that is, that aspect of her that is opposed to the Spirit.

Finally, it should be noted that the man of Macedonia who appeared to Paul in a vision of the night beckoning him to come to Europe (see Acts 16:9-10) turned out to be a woman (see Acts 16:13-15).

Alternatively, it is also worth noting that a woman in a dream may also be representative of the Church (see Eph. 5:25). Often she (the Church) may be portrayed as a person’s mother, sister, or even a young girl, because these may represent aspects of her (the Church) spiritually.

Names

The names of places and people in dreams are very significant. Sometimes the people in dreams represent themselves, and at other times, the meaning of names is a major key to dream interpretation. Or the presence of someone you know in a dream may instead point to their chief characteristic or what they represent to you. Once again, the key is to look at the dream as a whole before assuming that the dream literally refers to that person or the meaning of their name. However, when it comes to name meanings, the dream with Mel Gibson, earlier in this chapter, is a fair example of how a name meaning assists in opening up a dream for interpretation.

People in dreams may represent:

•    Themselves

•    Their character

•    Their position, role, or what they represent to the dreamer

•    The organization or church they represent

•    The meaning of their names.

The name dictionary included in this book provides more than a 1,200 meanings for common place and people names. However, if you anticipate doing a lot of dream interpretation, you may consider investing further by purchasing a comprehensive book of name meanings. I chose the one I use because it was relatively economical and provides more than 50,000 name meanings.

Search engines on the Internet are also a good resource for further name definitions, but be aware that many baby-name internet sites have links to gambling and pornography. Due to variations in the agreed etymological roots of a name, it is a good idea to look at a couple of sources before accepting a name meaning as final.

Numbers

Numbers always provide something of significance to a dream interpretation. The implication of numbers in a dream is best shown through an example. The following dream is particularly rich in numerical significance,

In my dream I had someone whom I loved a great deal, but I hardly ever saw him. We both had a set of numbers, and the numbers were a matching set. My numbers were six, seven, eight, and his were something that went with them, but I can’t remember them. So what I was going to do was to post or display my numbers so that he would see them when he went a certain way. I was going to put them up at the corner of Reservoir Road and Smart Road at the roundabout.

This dream relates to a relationship between husband and wife. A husband and wife are to complement one another. It appears that this couple does not spend enough time together. It also appears that God is communicating to the husband through this dream. The wife’s numbers are six, seven, and eight. These particular numbers in this order are a good combination for they say that she is progressing spiritually. They say that she was in the flesh (six), is moving to Divine perfection (seven), and is ready for a new beginning (eight) spiritually. What they spell out is a code for the husband to decipher.

It is possible that the husband’s numbers are four, three and two which would be the complementary numbers to complete the order or round to ten. This combination, in this context, would mean that he now has rule (four) and will experience resurrection (three) through her unity (two) in the home. The corner of Reservoir and Smart roads is also significant because it says shortly (corner) she will get to the wisdom (smart) of God (reservoir) and turn around (roundabout).

This is an absolute gem of a dream. Not only does it beautifully relate the use of numbers in a dream, but also ingeniously employs road names as well.

The metaphor dictionary also shows that a number may equate with its face value. For example, a three in a dream may mean exactly that. As you look at the interpretation of individual elements, be sensitive to the inner voice of the Holy Spirit while you consider which interpretation for a number is the correct one. When you have the right interpretation, there will be an inner knowing or confirmatory “witness,” and the message of the dream as a whole will be made apparent.

Local, National, and Cultural Idiosyncrasies

The dictionary of metaphors in this book is based on a generally white and Western outlook. At times this will not be able to convey local community knowledge or the cultural perspective of a given situation.

For example, I was talking to Adam (my co-author) one day when he instantly received a vision of a bunch of bananas being cut in half while they were being held in someone’s hand. That may not mean much to you unless you knew that at that time the northern parts of Australia (the country in which we both live) had experienced a cyclone which decimated the banana growing regions. This meant that bananas now sold for up to $15.00 a kilogram, which is very expensive in our part of the country. Therefore, the vision said that something of value is going to be cut in a certain ministry situation relating to me.

When you find something not mentioned in the dictionary, or a listing that does not convey your understanding of a subject, look up any relevant Bible verses relating to that subject and also write down the alternatives of what that person, place, or thing means to you and see which interpretation best fits the overall message conveyed in the dream.

At times Adam and I have had to go to sleep not knowing a particular element within a dream only to have the Holy Spirit give us understanding in the night. For this reason, I keep a notepad next to my bed. If you get a deposit of gold given to you in the night, make sure you write it down straightaway because, chances are, you will not remember it in the morning.

Also realize that at times God will stretch your spiritual understanding through the dreams He gives you. You will not always get an instant interpretation. In fact, you may have to wait days, weeks, or months before you fully understand what it was He was saying, but when the fulfillment comes, you can be sure your faith will be lifted.

Practical Advice

If you are going to take dreams and their interpretation seriously, then I recommend that you establish a dream log. Mine is simply an exercise book in which I write and date the dream. Depending on the size of the dream, I leave room either underneath the dream or on the opposite page for its interpretation.

I also keep a notepad (8” x 5”) by my bed. I used to use a smaller one, but this larger size allows me to write in the dark and not disturb my wife by putting the light on, and at the same time gives me room to be a bit messy in my writing without continually running off the page. I usually only write a few salient points in the dark, just enough to refresh my memory for when I am fully awake. If you choose to follow this technique, make sure that you test your pen before putting the light out and laying your head on that pillow. I have learned this the hard way. There is nothing worse than waking to find that what you thought you wrote is not on the page because the pen wasn’t working.

In the morning, I bullet-point the dream so that I maintain the correct order of events, and then, when I am happy I have extracted all the details, I write it up in the exercise book. In this way, I have a permanent record of what God has been speaking to me about over a period of time.

Reading through the dreams is a faith-building exercise as I am able to see the things God has completed or confirmed in the past and at the same time look to where He is directing me in the future. My dream log also provides me with things to pray about, and in praying through it, I can confidently bring Heaven to earth (see Matt. 6:10).

Summary: Chapter Nine

•    There is no formula for interpreting dreams. It is more about cultivating a relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is the author and interpreter of dreams.

•    Understanding comes when a person is “under-standing” (or under the authority of) the Word of God. Therefore, interpretation is dependent on obedience.

•    Use every opportunity to pray in tongues, particularly while traveling, as it is the vehicle for revelation, teaching, and prophecy.

•    As the majority of dreams are metaphoric in nature, we should not disregard a dream because it contains “weird” or recently experienced events in our lives.

•    Catastrophic dreams are most likely to convey a spiritual parallel.

•    Dreams need to be interpreted in context. This refers not only to interpreting elements against other elements in the same dream; it also means knowing what is going on in the life of the dreamer.

•    We need to take our time interpreting, particularly with long dreams, because:

•    We need to see the overall image God is conveying. Here we need to confirm our interpretation of the individual elements by ensuring the whole dream makes sense.

•    Time is needed to see past the individual scenes to the overall message being conveyed.

•    Wisdom is needed in knowing how to deliver the interpretation.

•    Not all dreams relate a future scene. They may show past, present, future, or all three.

•    Not all dreams need to be revealed to the parties concerned. At times, some dreams are just informing us how something looks spiritually or what is going on spiritually. At other times, they are a call to prayer.

•    Repeat dreams are a sign of importance, confirmation, imminence, or urgency. They say we weren’t listening the first time.

•    Many times God, in His grace, repeats dreams to unbelievers concerning their eternal spiritual destinies. Falling, washing, flying in fear, and dark figures around the bed are all calls to get right with God.

•    Feelings can convey much of the meaning of a dream. Similar scenes can be vastly different in interpretation, dependent on the feelings experienced by the dreamer.

•    Gender is not fixed in dreams. A woman may be representative of a man and vice versa. Very often the meaning of the names of people in a dream will assist in crossing this divide.

•    Name meanings of people and places are very significant in dreams.

•    People in dreams may represent:

•    Themselves

•    Their character

•    Their position, role, or what they represent to the dreamer

•    The organization or church they represent

•    The meaning of their names.

•    Numbers always lend significant meaning to the interpretation of dreams and visions.

•    There will be times when the Metaphor Dictionary does not provide a relevant local or national cultural understanding of a particular dream or vision element. If this new understanding for a particular element fits in the overall context of the dream or vision, then feel free to use it.

Chapter Ten

Before Using the Dictionary

By Adrian Beale and Adam F. Thompson

Is Interpretation a Gift, or Is It Developed?

The Bible relates that some people are particularly gifted in the interpretation of dreams and visions. Daniel and Joseph are two such examples. Of Daniel, the Bible records, “. . . And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams” (Dan. 1:17). This is most definitely a God-given ability, but it is also a God-given ability in which a person can grow.

When Elijah was about to hand the baton over to Elisha on the last day of his earthly ministry, he told Elisha that he would receive his request for a double portion of the Spirit if he saw Elijah taken. The Bible records the incident like this,

And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me. ” So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so” (2 Kings 2:9-10).

The endowment of a double anointing was conditional on Elisha’s ability to see in the spirit realm. Most will know the rest of the story. Elisha saw an angelic chariot come and take his master away (see 2 Kings 2:11, 6:16-17). As we read the Bible account, the whole scene seems to move so quickly that we easily miss the condition required for the fulfillment of Elisha’s request. He had to be able to see in the spirit realm to be able to fulfill the call upon his life. Stop and think about that. The fact that this episode happens at the culmination of a progression that depicts the Christian path to maturity—Gilgal>Bethel>Jericho>Jordan (see

2 Kings 2:1-6)—is strongly suggestive that seeing in the Spirit is something in which we grow. However, Elijah also suggests that it is a divine endowment by the fact that he doesn’t confirm or deny the impartation of the gift upon Elisha, but allows God to confirm its impartation by its operation.

The writer to the Hebrews confirms that we grow in spiritual sensitivity when he says, “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Heb. 5:14). In short, this verse says that our spiritual senses are developed as they are exercised. Just as the would-be prophet, Samuel, initially did not recognize God’s voice (see 1 Sam. 3:4-9), we likewise will develop our spirit senses by being attuned through frequency of practice. And just as in the case of Samuel, God initiates the call.

Is interpretation a gift, or is it developed? It is both! Having said that, our experience is that those with a prophetic calling are more spiritually inclined to see what a dream or vision is saying. However, those with a gifting in this area will only fully reach their potential if they are prepared to invest time in developing it.

How to Interpret: Joining the Dots

How do you interpret dreams and visions? Well at one time, I helped my young daughter to color in a picture, but first we had to join the dots so that we could see what it was that we were actually looking at. This simple illustration is a powerful blueprint of how a dream is interpreted. Each metaphoric element in a dream is like a dot, like a peg, and once the Holy Spirit helps us to join them together—giving us the meaning behind each element of the dream—it becomes a picture and a story that we are not likely to forget, a story that will be burned in our memory.

Start by prayerfully looking at each element of the dream. The metaphoric dictionary in this book has been designed to help you look at alternatives for each element of a dream. Remember that it is more about your relationship with God than a formula to be followed. It is the Holy Spirit who will witness with your heart about the suitability and correctness of each element of the dream, and it is the Holy Spirit who will piece them together.

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things. . . (1 John 2:27).

It is also the Holy Spirit who will bring to your remembrance any Scriptures that fit or depict the dream.

How do you know which interpretation for an element is the correct one? Again it is dependence on the Holy Spirit that is the key. Spirit thoughts often come “out of the blue,” bypassing the natural thinking process. Often a Scripture will jump to mind. Look at the options presented in the metaphor dictionary, and as you do, consider the context of the dream. By that I mean, look at how the interpretation of one element affects other elements of the dream and the overall purpose of the dream. This method is particularly important when the metaphor dictionary presents many options for a given dream element. At other times, you will have an inner understanding of what is meant by a particular element within a dream or vision and then, when you look it up in the metaphor dictionary, you will get a confirmation as the elements paint a picture of what God is saying. At other times, thoughts will bubble up as you pray in the Spirit while looking over an outline of the dream.

The method used to interpret the “Hands on Throat Dream” (see page 27-28) spoken about earlier is also a vitally important one. This is particularly useful when the metaphor dictionary doesn’t have an entry that seems to fit the context of the dream. In these situations, simply search the Bible for combinations of elements using a pocket Bible, PDA, on-line Bible, or Bible program on your computer.

At times the Bible will not contain the exact word that you may be looking for. In these situations, you will need to think laterally and conduct a search using related subjects. For example, the word steam does not appear in the Bible, but the words water and boil do. In these situations you will need to conduct your search whilst thinking beyond the confines of the key word.

Find the Subject of the Dream

After you have some elements pegged, start looking for the subject of the dream. By subject I mean, what is the dream about? In our experience, at least 90 percent of dreams are about the dreamer. Dreams will address the concerns of your heart. They will also raise heart purification issues (sanctification). They will relate to questions for which you are looking for answers. They will focus on the big issues in your life—body health issues and family and relationship issues—as well as ministry or working environment matters. What are the issues weighing heavily on your heart? Your dreams will center on you and the people over which you have influence and also will show people and organizations that have influence over you. This means that if you are in ministry, your dreams will also address leadership, congregational, denominational, and other related concerns.

The emotions felt during a dream are an excellent pointer to help identify the subject of the dream. Simply asking where you are experiencing the emotions portrayed in the dream will often pinpoint the subject. Likewise, the action symbolized in a dream is also a good indicator of a dream’s subject. As you would with emotions, ask yourself where in your life you are experiencing actions similar to those symbolized in the dream. For example, if in a dream you are taking off a coat, ask yourself where you are giving up authority. If in a dream, you are in a bus queue, ask yourself in what part of your life are you waiting. And if in a dream you are pruning a tree, consider where in your life you are applying discipline.

What Is the Theme?

We must also remember that in every dream that God gives us to interpret, there will be a theme which will carry us to a purpose. All dreams and visions are a means to an end. Every dream sets forth a hope and a future produced by the interpretation, and it is moving by faith on that hope that bears fruit in people’s lives. Without that, it is meaningless. God always speaks with purpose. As the interpretation comes to light, ask yourself what the purpose of the dream is. This is its theme. The purpose or theme of a dream may take the form of: a faith-building encouragement, the reassurance of His love, an answer to a question, a secret revealed or a warning, His guidance or direction, a correction, a prophetic promise, or an invitation to salvation.

Dreams About Others

Our experience has been that the more prophetic the calling on your life, the more likely you are to receive dreams and visions about others. It appears that for five-fold prophetic ministries (see Eph. 4:11), the greater the responsibility, the broader afield the prophet will dream. This means that as well as dreaming on a personal level, the prophet will dream on a congregational, city, national, and international level, dependent on that prophet’s calling.

However, before presuming the dream is about others, be aware that many times God uses other people you know as symbols of whatever that person represents to you. Ask yourself how you see that person. What position does that person hold? What is that person’s personality type and spiritual gift? Does that person represent a business or ministry? The “boss” may represent Jesus Christ. A person with a known ministry gift may represent a person in your life with a similar gifting, and a person you see as shy may speak of an area where you are not forthright enough. A dream with your brother or sister in it is just as likely to be an issue relating to a fellow believer (who is scripturally a “brother”) as it is to actually relate to your family. Finally, consider the meaning of the name of the person in your dream before presuming the dream is actually about somebody else.

Having said that, dependent on your ministry role, God will give insights for counseling purposes into the spiritual well-being of others over whom you have responsibility or influence. For example, while working at a Christian rehabilitation program, I was given the following dreams about students.

In the first dream, Debra had stolen a ship. She had stealthily stolen away in the night to sail the ship solo. I was looking across the top of a line of trees expecting to see a sail. What I saw was a chimney and smoke above the tree-line. Someone said, “If she got to Boston Bay, they wouldn’t be able to catch her.” Talking the dream over with Debra, I found that she had been very tempted that particular week to leave the program because of family issues. The fact that the dream portrayed smoke and not a sail was indicating that she would be doing so under her “own steam” and without the unction of the Holy Spirit (see 1 John 2:20; John 3:8).

In another dream, I saw myself digging a burrow for Bobby the cat with my right arm. This dream suggests that in Bible teaching (my strength and calling) I was giving Bobby a place to hide. This insight enabled staff to address the student each time he used Scripture as a smoke screen to avoid dealing with his own heart issues. I could quite easily have missed the instruction of this dream because, two years earlier, my family had experienced the death of our cat whose name was Bobby.

Problems of Subjectivity

It is often difficult to see what is being said immediately after a dream or vision because you are so close to it. It takes practice to be able to see the dream or vision objectively. You really have to see the initial imagery on another level. When you have difficulty doing this, write it down and come away from it. Seek the Lord in prayer, and as you do, He will drop fresh insights into your heart that will open up a new perspective from which to view the message. Getting someone else who is open to receive from God through dreams (and is also growing in the gift of interpretation) to view the dream or vision is also a good method of dealing with any problems of subjectivity. Your ability to hear the interpretation from God will improve with practice. Many times you will find yourself saying, “What could that possibly be about?” As you acknowledge your own inability, suddenly the Holy Spirit will drop a thought into your heart that will crack the code, and the whole thing will be revealed before your eyes.

Idols in Your Heart

Here is a word of warning. It is very dangerous to come before God seeking an interpretation whilst holding a preconceived agenda in your heart. If you do this, the Bible declares that God will give you what you want to hear. God warns Israel of this very thing through Ezekiel by stating,

. . .Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the Lord will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols (Ezekiel 14:4).

When coming before God for any form of guidance, we need to put our hearts into neutral before looking for an interpretation. That is not to say that we should blindly accept everything that someone puts forth as an interpretation of a dream or vision (see the section “Judge All Interpretations” later in this chapter). What it does say is that if we do hear the voice of God through an interpretation, then we need to be obedient to it. If we come prepared to hear only what we want to hear, then that is what we will hear, and that is dangerous.

Not a Forgone Conclusion!

Another vitally important point to remember is that when God gives a dream or vision, He does so with our best interests at heart. Dreams and visions often show potential outcomes—either good or bad—but the outcome is not a fait accompli (a done deal). Without that understanding, we may become philosophical, fatalistic, or defeatist in our outlook, doing nothing to avoid a negative scenario. God may show a problem, risk, or hazard so that we may avert the danger. We can take steps to put things right before they go awry. When Nebuchadnezzar dreamed of a tree cut down and someone treated as an animal, Daniel foresaw that God was warning Nebuchadnezzar to humble himself or be taken from the throne. It seems that Daniel did not believe it was an accomplished fact because he tried to prevent the dream’s fulfillment by pleading with Nebuchadnezzar to change. He said,

Therefore, O king, let my advice be acceptable to you; break off your sins by being righteous, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps there may be a lengthening of your prosperity (Daniel 4:27).

Daniel was giving Nebuchadnezzar the steps to avert the pending judgment of God. However, Nebuchadnezzar did not listen and was duly humbled in accordance with the dream (see Dan. 4:28-33). On the other hand, when Pharaoh dreamed of an imminent famine, he listened to Joseph’s interpretation and advice, and the potential catastrophe was avoided (see Gen. 41:26-43).

We are also not to use a dream or vision interpretation as an excuse to do what we want to do contrary to the Word of God. For example, a dream about a potential homosexual relationship or a marriage breakdown is not justification for us to pursue these avenues of thought as our unalterable fate. No! These dreams are warnings about the state of our hearts so that we take steps to avoid these outcomes.

Judge All Interpretations

The importance of judging what is said in the interpretation of a dream or vision cannot be overstated. In Chapter 1, we discovered that dreams and visions were two of the main methods used by God to speak to His prophets (see Num. 12:6-8). We have also seen that the receiving of dreams and visions and their consequent interpretation and declaration constitutes prophetic ministry (in a limited sense).

In regard to prophetic ministry, Paul advised the Corinthian congregation to evaluate, or weigh up, what was said. He said, “Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge” (1 Cor. 14:29). When writing to the Thessalonian church, Paul also said, “Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good” (1 Thess. 5:20-21).

Paul is saying that when someone is operating in the prophetic, there is need for evaluation or judgment of what is said. This takes into account that we deliver God’s treasure through earthen vessels and also acknowledges that none of us has arrived yet. We are all in the process of growing in the things of the Spirit. As dreams, visions, and their interpretations equate to prophecy, they need to be judged and evaluated. When judging an interpretation, you might consider the following questions:

•    Is it in line with Scripture?

•    If what is being said is corrective, is it free of condemnation?

•    Does the prophecy provide a future and a hope?

•    Is there an inner witness or conviction that what is being said is truth?

•    Does the prophecy meet a heart need?

•    Does what is being said line up with what God has been saying through other avenues of guidance?

A negative response to one of these would put what is being said in question. At the very least, it should cause us to put whatever is said “on the shelf” until confirmation is received. A negative response to two or more of these questions would seriously put the prophecy in doubt. At such times, it is best to come away from interpreting until a later date. Often, future revelation will shed light on questionable interpretations.

The Metaphor Dictionary

The metaphor dictionary provides a comprehensive list of dream and vision metaphors. However, due to the creativity of God, the individuality of our personal makeup, and cultural differences, there will be occasions when an entry does not provide an accurate interpretation for a dream or vision element. On these occasions, you may know instinctively what is meant by an element in your dream, and if that is correct, there will be a fit with the rest of the interpretation. If you are unsure of the interpretation, you may need to research a subject, animal, or person to find what facet or characteristic of it God is communicating to you. This is very important when animals and birds are involved.

For example, if you see a particular breed of parrot in a dream and happen to know that this particular species has only one partner for life, it may be that aspect God is communicating to you rather than the metaphor dictionary listing of “gossip.” Don’t be afraid to research the characteristics of a particular species beyond what is listed here. If God has given you a dream, don’t be lazy, He knows what resources are available to you. Also, don’t overlook the simplest interpretation. A cat may simply represent curiosity, as in “curiosity killed the cat.” A bull may simply portray heavy-handedness, as in “a bull in a china shop.” Have fun decoding the messages God is giving you, and don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

Dream Dictionaries

101 sample Dream and Vision Interpretations

Actual dreams and visions with names changed for privacy

1. Flying Dream

River, Flying, Daughter, Running, Waterfall, Tricks, Riverbank

I was running along a riverbank. My youngest daughter was running ahead of me. I had trouble keeping up until I remembered that I could fly. I started flying over the river and overtook my daughter. It was amazing as I flew over a waterfall and continued down the river before I turned around to find her. I saw myself do a few tricks flying in front of a group of people on the bank.

Interpretation:

The river is the river of the Holy Spirit (see River). Your youngest daughter represents your offspring or future running ahead of you (see Daughter). Flying over the river means moving in a supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit (see Flying). God is also warning you when you start to move more in the Spirit to watch out for self-glory (see Tricks). The waterfall suggests that you will be part of an outpouring of the Spirit of God (see Waterfall). The people you are doing tricks in front of are not yet in the river (see Bank).

2.    River in Church Dream

River, Church, Pulpit, Congregation, Stands

I saw a river running diagonally through what was currently the church congregation’s sitting area. It ran between the pulpit and the congregation. At the back of the church were huge stands—like in a football stadium. I was concerned because I thought that the river separated the speaker from the audience.

Interpretation:

The river is the flow of the Holy Spirit (see River). The fact that the river flowed in front of the speaker is a good thing. It means that the preacher is putting the Spirit before himself (see Pulpit and Congregation). When this is done, God will draw crowds of people—the stands.

3.    Letter Box Dream

Letterbox, Mail, Abundance

I was with a friend who I went to Bible College with some years earlier.

He and I were in the ministry together. We were at post-boxes collecting our mail. I opened my box, and it was literally jammed-packed with letters. There were so many letters that it took me some time to jimmy a couple of envelopes free before the rest could be emptied out of the box.

Interpretation:

(The person who had this dream was no longer in a recognized ministry position.) This dream indicates that you will once again take up a ministry position as seen by the fact that you are with someone with ministry status. The many envelopes indicate invitations to speak (see Letters) and could also indicate that your ministry will be itinerant (see Mailbox). God is encouraging you with this prophetic-futuristic dream.

4.    Plaques Dream

Plaques, Screws, Codes

I saw several plaques (shields) on which were words. I knew instinctively that the screws that were to hold them in place were positioned in such a way as to decode the messages on the plaques. Some screws were in the corners, which indicated that the corner words were the message. Some screws were in the middle, which indicated that the words in the same position (i.e. in the middle) were the words to take note of.

Interpretation:

The plaques are messages from God that you will share publicly (see Plaque). This dream is to show that the deposits of revelation (encoded words) you have received are from Him (see Codes and Screws). The instinct you speak of is guidance by the Spirit of God (an inward knowing). This is an encouragement dream showing that what you are receiving is from God. Keep doing what you are doing.

5.    Hotel Foyer Dream

Hotel Foyer/Reception

I dreamt I was in a hotel foyer/reception area.

Interpretation:

(The recipient of this dream was asked whether there was some uncertainty about their tenure in their current employment position. He confirmed that finances were tight at work.) With that information, it is indicative that God is showing that you are about to check out of your current work situation and/or check into something new (see Hotel Reception).

6.    Coach, Baggage, and Margaret Dream

Interstate Coach, Bus Stop, Baggage, Daughter, Taxi, Cost, Margaret

I got off the interstate coach I was traveling on to talk to someone, and when I returned, the coach was gone. I walked (with others) toward the next stop because my bags were still on the coach. I realized that if I didn’t get to the set-down point before the bus departed, my baggage would go on with the coach. I thought of phoning (via cell phone) Margaret (who was on the bus) to ask her to offload my bags at the next stop. My daughter was in there somewhere. I thought of getting a taxi, but I realized that would cost me.

Interpretation:

The bus is the ministry in which you currently work (see Bus). The bus going on before you indicates that there is concern that you will leave your current position having not dealt with baggage from that position (see Bag). The baggage is most probably unforgiveness (feeling like they owe you). Margaret means “pearl.” This is a reference to Jesus as the pearl of great price (see Pearl).

The reference to the taxi costing you means that if you don’t deal with this baggage by taking it to Jesus, then it will cost you (you will not reach your God-given potential).

We recommend you approach whoever it is within your ministry with whom you have the unresolved issue and ask for forgiveness for harboring resentment and bitterness toward them. Your daughter’s presence indicates that this concerns your future (see Daughter).

7. Laundry Anointing Dream

Laundry, Modern House, Younger, Parents, Wardrobes, Clothes, Air-Freshener, Fragrance

I was in the laundry of a modern house, which was well-appointed with good cupboards and doors. In the dream, I was a young girl (a daughter) and I could hear my parents saying nice things to each other through the wall (they were in the next room). There were wardrobes in the laundry, and I understood that they had clothes in them. There was also an air-freshening device in the laundry. I pressed it and a little sprayed in my face. I couldn’t turn it off, so I opened the door. The scent went throughout the house into the air conditioner and filled the house with the fragrance.

Interpretation:

The new house speaks of your new, transformed, and well-fitted house as a Christian (see House). The fact that you are in the laundry suggests that you have just undergone a cleansing process (see Laundry). This is reinforced by the clothes in the cupboards. These are what you put on when you are clean. The Scripture that comes to mind is Zechariah 3:4-5.

Seeing yourself as the daughter refers to you being younger, which is often a characteristic of the spirit person (see Younger). A daughter is also a daughter of God. Your parents saying nice things to each other in the next room is representative of you being in harmony and intimate with Christ in the secret place. The air-freshener is the anointing (see Air Freshener), and getting some on your face means your heart has been anointed (see Face). Once this has been touched, the fragrance of Christ fills your whole being (house).

This is a great dream. Be encouraged. The previous pruning (cleansing) you have recently undergone has brought you to this place.

8. New Irrigation and Roof Dream

Dining Table, Parents, Dressing Gowns, Expecting Someone, Upstairs, Sleep, Roof Tiles, Front Yard, Irrigation, Grass, Quickly

I was sitting at the dining table talking to my parents. We were organizing something and sitting in dressing gowns. I was the daughter, but we were in the house I live in now. We were expecting someone. Someone came to the door, and my parents answered it. I went upstairs to sleep.

Workmen started working in the front yard, so I thought I would sleep. But then they also started working on the roof tiles just outside the upstairs window. I looked down, and they were replacing all the irrigation in the front yard. The workmen had diggers and excavating machines taking the dirt out and digging trenches. They were going to replace the irrigation pipes and relay them and put in new grass finishing the job that same day! It was a challenge to get it all done, but they were confident it could be completed.

Interpretation:

The dining table speaks of intimacy and unity with Jesus (see Table). This is reinforced by the wearing of dressing gowns, symbolizing a just cleansed and relaxed atmosphere (see Dressing Gown).

Going upstairs refers to going to God for rest (see Upstairs).

This dream deals with the external aspect of God’s mantle upon you. God is mantling you with His power (see Mantle). He is placing the anointing upon the flesh (see Grass). At the same time, He is making adjustments to your authority and covering (see Roof). It should be evident that the dream also indicates a quick work will be done.

9. Train Station Dream

Railway Station, Train Departure, Spokesman, Platform, Curved, 400, Anxious

I was at a railway station awaiting the departure of a train. I was with a party or group of people. I was not the spokesman, and I got rapped over the knuckles for speaking about an incident when I shouldn’t have. The platform was curved like a gentle S. A train pulled in; it was the final train, the “400.” I didn’t think I was meant to be on this train because I couldn’t see other members of my group on it. I was anxiously looking to see whether people I knew were on it, having the thought that if this was the final train, and this wasn’t the one I was meant to be on, then what then?

Interpretation:

The railway station says you are awaiting ministry (see Railway Station). The fact that you are not the spokesman refers to the fact that you are currently under another ministry without a pulpit profile. Getting disciplined for speaking means that you have said something that your current leadership does not like, and therefore, they are holding the pulpit from you.

The curved platform (gentle S) means that you are currently bound in the Spirit and are about to be released (see Curved).

The final train being the 400 means the spiritual train that you are really awaiting is just around the corner (see Four). Israel was in Egypt 400 years, and after the 400 years, they were delivered. This suggests that there is a spiritual time-lock at work in your situation (see Watch). You are experiencing anxiety because a ministry opportunity is closing (the 400 train leaving), and your next ministry opportunity (train) has not yet apparently arrived.

This is an encouraging dream. It lets you know that God is aware of your situation. You have no need to fear; when the 400 train departs (it appears your dream ends before it does), God’s train will come. Though He may appear later than you would like, He will come!

10.    Overtaking Dream and Auto Accident Dream

Passenger, Automobile, Father, Overtaking, Dirt Road, Blind Corner, Not Wanting To Be There

I was traveling with another passenger in a car that my father was driving. Our car was behind another car, and I knew dad wanted to overtake the car in front. Down the straight road ahead, I could see a car coming off a dirt road. It was coming in our direction. Dad nosed the car out to have a look and saw the other car and pulled back in behind the car ahead of us. We went round a sweeping left-hand bend, and then my father overtook on a blind right-hand bend with a bit of a crest. It was the sort of maneuver that if you had been in the car, you would not want to ride with that driver again.

Interpretation:

Your father represents leadership of the ministry in which you are currently involved (see Father). The ministry is the car (see Automobile).

Seeing down the straight road ahead refers to having spiritual vision (see Straight and Window). The fact that you avoided a head-on with an on-coming vehicle (coming off a dirt road) suggests that because of spiritual vision you have avoided confrontation and potential catastrophe with someone doing their own thing or a country ministry (see Dirt Road and Auto Accident).

The fact that your father did not wait for a clear road before attempting to overtake suggests that leadership is in a hurry to make a decision (see Overtaking). The driver overtaking on a blind corner means that the decision which is about to be made is spiritually blind. You did not collide with any other vehicle, but you and the other passenger will have second thoughts about traveling with that leadership again.

11.    Slate Tile Platform and Roof Dream

Slate Tiles, Step, Roof, Platform, Length, House

I saw slate tiles suspended by cables between the ground and the roof of my house. The slate tiles created a platform to step up onto the roof. The platform that the tiles provided was two tiles wide and ran the length of the house.

Interpretation:

The slate tiles represent writing (see Slate). You are going to write material that will give you the opportunity to step into the pulpit (see Roof). As the slate tiles ran the whole length of the house, it appears that there will be many books to follow or the influence of your book (or books, as there were two tiles) will be ongoing, and it may also be that you use this platform to introduce others to the platform.

12.    Property with a View Dream

House, View, Buy, 100,000

I bought a property (house) with a view. It was situated high, and you could see a long way into the distance. It cost $100,000.00.

Interpretation:

The property says that you are moving into a prophetic office (see View) by laying down your life (see Buying).

One hundred means “whole” and a thousand means “ever increasing.” This suggests that it is purchased by your growth in the Spirit (see Hundred and Thousand).

13.    Closing Window Dream

CD Installation, Computer, Young Adults, Different Rooms, Closing Window, Noise, Joking

I had gone to someone’s home to let them install a CD I had on their computer. My wife had loaded the CD, so I wasn’t familiar with the contents on it. There were three to five young adults, aged in their late teens to early twenties, living in the home. One of the girls whom I knew was named Ann.

I went into one room, and they into another. We spoke through a window which was horizontally long and narrow. At the same time as they were installing the CD in the other room, there was a lot of noise filling the house, and because of the noise, the window between us was being closed (in an attempt to cut out the noise).

There was a problem installing the CD, I joked about not hearing correctly. I was unable to help because I was not familiar with the material on the CD.

Interpretation:

Ann means “favored graciously”. Knowing that one of your daughters is named Hannah, which is the root for Ann, it is evident that this is your children in the dream.

The CD loaded by your wife suggests that your wife has been the primary input into your children’s lives in their developmental stages (see Computer CD). The dream suggests that as maturing youth/young adults, your children are now entering their own independent stage of life by going into other rooms. Your input into their lives is being drowned out by the noise of your children’s interests and the world (see Noise).

The window closing says that the opportunity to input is narrowing (see Window). The noise is also hindering any programming you are attempting at the moment. This is a problem amplified by the fact that you are not as personal or intimate with them as your wife. The joking may refer to not taking the situation seriously (see Joking).

14. Miniature Cricket Bat Dream

Cricket Bat, Childhood, Blue, Green, Bigger, Carved, Countries

I bought an ornamental miniature cricket bat (sporting memorabilia). It was signed by players of the village in which I was raised as a child in England.

When it was brought out of the trader’s display cabinet, it was blue and green in color. It was bigger than I thought, and it had the players’ names and initials carved into the front face of the bat.

On the back of the bat were multiple country stamps where it had been. I can remember seeing Spain and Brazil and many others. This seemed a little strange to me because of the insignificant team it represented.

Interpretation:

A cricket side has twelve players (11 + 1), which reminds us of the apostles. Note that it is a miniature bat; this is because it is not in fact a bat, but rather a baton. It is blue-green in color because it carries with it influence in Heaven (blue) and earth (green) (see Blue and Green).

Your childhood village in England is mentioned because God has had this call on your life from before your birth (see Gal. 1:15).

The names are carved into the bat and not merely signed for two reasons. Firstly, it is because the bearers of this bat (baton) are those for whom the cost is their lives, and secondly, because they made their mark (see Carved)!

It is bigger than you thought because what is being presented to you (in the display cabinet) is a more significant calling than you thought. This is in line with the country stamps on the back of the bat of where it has been taken thus far (see Country).

The Lord has used a cricket bat to show you that when you get the call to bat, it is time for your innings to take up an apostolic and international ministry (see Cricket Bat).

15.    The Flying Bible Dream

Bible, Falling, Automobile, Highway

My Bible fell out of my car as I went around a slipway (curved feeder road) onto a highway.

Interpretation:

In this dream, the highway is the commercial world (see Highway). What God is saying is that it would be a mistake for you to take a secular job because you will lose the call on your life (see Bible).

16.    Money Given Into Your Hand Dream

Money, Suit, Insincere, Dark Blue, Dropping, Picking Up, Coins, Scrunched Up

I was in a foyer speaking to someone. An insincere man, wearing a dark blue suit, came up to me and unexpectedly gave me some money.

There were two fifty dollar notes and some coins all scrunched up together. I dropped some of the coins as they rolled out of the notes. I bent over and picked it up.

Interpretation:

(When asked whether this person knows anyone who wears a dark blue suit, it was discovered that he wears a dark blue suit when he does a specific contract job. At this time, this work had ceased for more than six months. Asked how the person felt about this work, it was evident that his heart was not in it. He had let some opportunities for more of this work drop by not attending an annual workshop.) This suggests that the insincere man is you when you are doing this work. With that information, it is evident that God is showing you there is going to be an unexpected and brief increase in this line of work (see Dropping), brief because only a small amount of money is involved.

Also note that you dropped the coins and picked them up. This is a picture of letting this work slip by not attending the workshop and then taking it up again. God is encouraging you to take this opportunity when it comes, as shown by picking up the coins (see Lifting).

17. Lift Dream

Lift, Women, Black, Kill, Comb, Words, Entrapment

Two women dressed in black were trying to kill me in a lift, and I had the sense that this would continue afterward. One had a comb with a long steel hilt, and she was trying to stab me with it. The other woman was trying to catch or entrap me in my words.

Interpretation:

This is a warning from God. It applies from the point where you are moving in the Spirit (being elevated) and from thereon (see Lift). The two women are two subtle demonic forces (see Woman and Black).

The first is using the trap of pride, i.e. trying to get you to make yourself look good (see Comb).

The second is the trap of wanting to speak what people want to hear rather than what God wants you to speak (see Entrapment and Fear of Man).

18. Marathon Race Dream

Running, Race, Old Man, Grey-Haired, Rerun, Champion, Timing, Crowd, Excitement, Briefcase, Carrying

I was running in a long race. I was behind in the pack of runners. We had just completed running around a looped section of the track when an old, grey-haired man took me from running in the pack to catch up with the leaders. Though I had run around the looped section of the track, when he led me to the front of the pack, he took me over a section of the track I had already run over. So I had to rerun over ground I had covered before.

The elderly man was a known champion who had previously won this race. As we ran, he took hold of my briefcase and carried it for me. I was aware that the timing of this man’s runs was always perfect—he was the type of runner who measured to perfection his energy levels and would be increasing speed at the end of the race when others were spent. I was also aware that the crowd (spectators) were aware of his reputation to run through the pack, and it brought excitement to the crowd.

Interpretation:

This is a very encouraging dream. The race is the race of faith (see Race). God is going to take you in the Spirit from being in the congregation up to the front as a leader (see Front). In the dream you rerun over past ground; this is symbolic of going over some things that need to be dealt with from the past (see Rerun).

I believe the elderly man symbolizes the mantle of an apostle (like Paul, see

2 Tim. 4:7). He carries your briefcase, which symbolizes your teaching, and he has run this race of faith (see Briefcase). This is in line with your consciousness of crowd excitement (see Crowd).

The fact that he times his runs to perfection is evidence that the old man is Pauline in nature. This also suggests that the latter part of your life will be more productive than the former. This is seen in the old man speeding up to the finish line.

19. Opening a Bedroom Into a Lounge Dream

Visitors, Expectation, Opening Doors, Bedroom, Lounge

I knew we were expecting visitors. I had a sense of joyful expectation. To accommodate the guests, I was opening a set of double doors (that don’t actually exist) between my daughter’s bedroom and the lounge area.

Interpretation:

Joyful expectation is a good sign. God is showing you that what He has given you in privacy is going to become positively public (see Bedroom and Living Room). You can also expect more opportunities, interest, and traffic as a result of the inner changes (see Door).

20. High Speed Over Water Dream

High Speed, Water, Sundown, South, North, Trees, Gum Trees, Channel, Deep Water, Shallow, Destination, Left, Somebody Else, Soaring, Gulf Stream

I was traveling at high speed over water just before sundown. Though I have never been to New Zealand, I was aware that I was traveling from the South Island to the North Island of that country.

There were lots of trees (big gum trees) in the water to my left (a north-westerly direction). I was also aware that I was following the deep water channel (heading north-easterly) and not being taken (I was not driving the boat) across the shallow water to my left in which the big gum trees stood. The more direct route to my destination would have had me naturally steer between the gum trees. However, whoever was driving my boat was heading on a tangent or at right angles to a path through the gum trees.

I was conscious that I was somebody else, and that the boat wasn’t actually in the water. I also had understanding that at the end of the channel on which my boat was traveling was a Gulf Stream that would automatically speed my delivery to my destination.

Interpretation:

This is an encouraging dream from God showing where you are currently in the Spirit. You are traveling from south to north; this is toward God and the spiritual inheritance He has for you (see North and Northward).

The big gum trees are prominent church leaders (see Big Tree). It is tempting in the natural to look for a short-cut to your destination by appealing to these leaders for recognition. It may also be that prominent leaders befriend you and ask you to join their ministry.

The Holy Spirit, your unknown pilot, is taking you via the deep water of the Spirit to your destination (see Unseen Accomplice). Though it appears a more indirect route to what He has for you, when you clear the channel, things will accelerate in the Spiritual Gulf Stream.

You are conscious that you are someone else because it is the spiritual person undergoing this journey (see Unrecognized).

The fact that the boat you are in is not actually in the water says two things. Firstly, you are in the Spirit (see Flying). Secondly, it suggests that you are heading away from the gum trees, not so much because of the shallow water, but because entanglement with them will actually slow your journey.

21. Warning of Death of a Ministry

Young Couple, Roof, Fire, Baby, Young Child, Flame, Fire, Kill

I was with a young couple in a fern house/tent type structure outside their home. The roof of the fern house caught on fire as the woman brought a flame into it. We tried to put it out, not knowing till later that the fire had spread to the house and killed their young child in the upstairs bedroom.

Interpretation:

This is a warning that gossip (see Fire) could destroy the new ministry venture (see Baby) you are embarking on. The woman may represent the church or its leadership as the instigators who try and stop what God has put on your heart (see Woman). Note also that the baby is upstairs; this says that what you have is from God (see Upstairs).

22.    Black Plastic Under Skin Dream

Black, Plastic, Tweezers, Under Skin

I had a piece of black plastic under my skin, and I needed tweezers to remove it.

Interpretation:

This dream suggests that someone superficial (see Plastic) and without the light of the Spirit (see Black) is annoying you (see Under). God is also telling you to be careful (see Tweezers) in how you deal with the situation.

23.    Seeing and Hearing Something Different

Rye Loaf, Sugar-Coated Candy, Seeing vs. Hearing

I heard someone describing a loaf of rye bread and going into what goodness it contained. However, what I saw was a sugar-coated candy.

Interpretation:

In this dream God is showing you that what someone is professing to present to you is not what it is claimed to be. It is suggested in the dream that someone is claiming to provide real sustenance—a hearty loaf—yet in reality it is empty calories (see Candy). It appears, in short, that this dream says you are not getting real meat, but rather ear tickling (candy) in what is dished up to you (see Heb. 5:12; 2 Tim. 4:3-4).

24.    Washing in Front of People Dream

Washing, In Front of, Group, Unashamed, Enjoyment

I saw myself washing in front of a group of people and unashamedly enjoying it.

Interpretation:

This dream shows you applying the Word of God in front of a congregation or classroom of people (see Washing). It also suggests that there is confession and honesty as you do. Finally, it says that you are being cleaned up as you prepare and deliver the Word of God (see Water).

25.    Buying a Four-Wheel Drive

Four-Wheel Drive, Buying

I saw my dad buy a four-wheel drive vehicle from his close Christian friend.

Interpretation:

This dream suggests that because of the influence of your father’s close Christian friend, your father will enter into itinerant ministry (see Four-Wheel Drive). Buying here relates to laying down one’s life: That is giving up your agenda for God’s (see Buying).

26.    Reinhard Bonnke in a Dream

Famous Person, River, Reserve, Speedboat, Rifle, Telescopic Sights, Gunfire

I saw Reinhardt Bonnke (the famous evangelist) enjoying fellowship with his family on a reserve or park area alongside a river. Two speedboats came along; the people on them pulled out rifles with telescopic sights and shot at him. He was able to duck for cover, and others in his party returned gunfire.

Interpretation:

(When asked whether the person who dreamed this dream had an acquaintance with an apostolic figure, it was confirmed that they did [see Famous People]). God is showing you that this apostolic figure will experience critical words (see Bow) from powerful ministries (see Speedboat) at a distance (see Telescope).

This is a warning that friends or staff of the apostolic figure will return harsh words. God says, “Vengeance is Mine” (see Rom. 12:19; Heb. 10:30).

27.    Wheat Container Dream

Daughter, Back Verandah, Stick, Spider, Spider Web, Weevils, Container

In my dream, I was with my daughter and we were out on the back verandah. We were cleaning and looking in some wheat containers we have there.

My daughter had a stick and I said, “Check this one.” She put the stick in, and when she pulled it out, it had spider webs on it. We looked in the container to see if there were any weevils in it, and we saw a spider in the container. I said, “Put the lid on and leave the container,” and I thought, I will get some dry ice and kill the lot (spiders and weevils).

Interpretation:

The back verandah is that which is private, hidden, and undercover (see Back Yard and Verandah).

The wheat containers represent people (see Sack). They are bearers of the Word (wheat, see Matt. 13:18-19). See also the sacks in Genesis 42:25ff. The stick is discipline (either correction and/or the discipline of Bible devotions) (see Sticks). What you are seeing is inside your daughter.

The spider represents an issue which, when touched, causes a reaction and threat from her (see Spider). The spider and weevils also represent what is sown in with the Word. Think about what weevils do to wheat for a moment—they destroy the wheat! Weevils are destructive insects that secretly corrupt the Word within an individual (see Weevils). Cobwebs speak of deception (see Web). It could be that something is being kept from you or that your daughter is not dealing with an issue which has her in deception.

You saying to leave the container and deal with it later shows you have a propensity to avoid confrontation and not deal with issues because of the threat it raises. This is a warning from God to deal with issues as they surface or you will suffer the consequences later.

28. Old House Dream

Daughter, Camp, Rooms, Old House, Left, Door Ajar, Living Room, Alex, Friend, Playing, Chairs, Lectern, Game Console, Big Screen, Bedroom, Bedtime, Toilet, Office, Clean, Safe, Quiet

In my dream I was staying with my youngest daughter at some sort of camp. We were in an old house with many rooms. I walked down the corridor. There were a lot of doorways to my left, slightly ajar, but I had no interest in them. I only noticed them.

My daughter and I went into a room which was like a common or living room. Alex and a friend were playing there. There were no chairs in the room, only a lectern with a game console and, on the wall, a big screen.

My daughter and I went through the room up to the bedroom to get a game to play. I was wondering if we could play and whether Alex would mind. When we got back to the common room, Alex didn’t mind, so we played a game which was called “Funny Home Videos.”

Later, it was bedtime; the children went to bed. I had to go to the toilet. I had to go through my daughter’s room, which led into the office, and Alex was sleeping in the office, and there was a toilet next to the office, which I went to because it was clean and safe and quiet.

Interpretation:

The old house is the past (see Old House). The corridor represents your journey through your husband’s backslidden time (see Corridor). The doors left ajar on the left suggest that you were tempted to join him, but didn’t (see Door and Left). This is a good thing, and God recognizes this!

However, you have now come to a room with a lectern in it. This represents your husband’s pulpit ministry (see Pulpit). Notice that there are no chairs there. This means that he does not currently have an audience, which makes recognition of the call on his life harder for you to see.

In coming into the living room, you have come to the place of the fulfillment and promise, which scripturally is the place of rest—and there are no chairs (see Living Room). There are no chairs because entertainment and pleasure are getting in the way. It seems you are not taking the call on your husband’s life—pulpit ministry—seriously.

Your daughter, whose name is Ann, is the grace of God that has been traveling with you through the journey, and Alex is Christ (the Protector of people). God has been protecting you and even now protects the business represented by the office (see Office).

Your going to the toilet represents repentance once you recognize the situation, which God has displayed through your daughter’s room or through the grace of God (see Toilet).

29. Spider Dream

Kitchen, Spider, Leaf, Woman, Web, Ornament, Curtain Rail, Toilet, Killed, Purse, Money

I was in the kitchen, and I saw something run across the ceiling. I thought it was a spider; then I thought it was a leaf; then I realized it was a spider covered by a leaf.

A woman was there. She was smartly dressed and had long, straight blonde hair. She caught the spider and hung it up by a thin web as an ornament on the curtain rail and said, “Would you look after this for me?”

She went to the toilet (I think). I looked at the spider and thought,

I don’t want that in here, and squashed it. She came back, and my husband said to her, “She’s killed it!” Then the woman took out her purse and opened it and said, “I was going to offer you money to look after that for me.”

Interpretation:

The kitchen is your heart (see Kitchen). The spider is a stronghold and is covered or hiding (see Spider). The fact that it walks across the ceiling suggests that it has a tenacity to cling (see Prov. 30:28) and is in rule (see Ceiling).

The woman relates to the spider. The woman gives the spider the right to be in the home. A spider, when threatened, will rear up and lash out. The woman is Jezebel; she is an unclean spirit who likes to control and manipulate (see Woman).

The leaf speaks of prosperity, and as the spider is under the leaf, this indicates that the stronghold (spider) is hiding under the guise of abundant life (see Leaf). The dining room speaks of the place where you are fed spiritually. And when the spider is hung on the curtain rail as an ornament, it says that there is an association between Heaven and prosperity (see Curtain). Note that there is a real connection between Heaven and prosperity. However, one of the greatest traps today is to have our primary focus on money, rather than the Gospel, when Scripture tells us to do the reverse (see Matt. 6:33).

The woman goes to the toilet, which means you detox and get rid of it— note that at the same time you deal with the spider! This is a good thing, for it

means you recognize the power money has over your heart and break its influence in your life by examination of your heart, confession, and repentance (see Toilet).

However, the woman returns (this is its clinging tenacity). Your husband’s statement, “She killed it!” is a declaration, as the authority in the home, that Jezebel has no right to be in this home!

The woman’s action of taking out the purse, opening it, and offering money reinforces that this was the stronghold (see Wallet). I perceive in the spirit that you are at a crossroad (it is decision time) at which you must choose between the need for prosperity and security through money and the need to give God your heart with no strings attached. You have a fear in your heart of letting go. When the woman comes back, she is feeding you a demonic lie that you would have been prosperous and getting rid of this earning power has cost you.

This is a good dream as it shows you a foundational problem that needs to be dealt with. The dream also shows you that the woman will try to come back, but God’s revelation through the dream prepares you for this before it happens.

30. University Dream

University, Lunch, Outdoor Table, Lawn, Platter, Finger-Food, Aris, Joke, Sister, Face Away, Friendship, Relationship, Bored

I was sitting at an outdoor table eating lunch with a boy named Aris I liked in grade seven. The table looked across the lawn to the Barr-Smith Library (Adelaide University). Our lunch was a platter of fin-ger-food, and we were sharing the one plate.

We were friends, but it was as if there was awkwardness, or perhaps we were going to be more than friends. I turned to ask him what his sisters were doing now, and I unintentionally brushed against him. He made a joke about his sisters’ having finished Uni a couple of times and that they were practicing being wives now. I turned my face away, and he gently stroked my hand. I thought, We are not good at having a relationship (that is more than friendship), and I also thought, Are we bored with studying and we need a bit of excitement?

Interpretation:

Sitting at an outdoor table suggests the revealing (exposure) of your relationship, fellowship, and communion (see Table and Outside). The boy’s name is Aris, which means “best” and this ties in with the number seven (see Seven). What it suggests is that this is not you and this boy, but rather you and your husband. You want your marriage relationship to be the best, and God wants it to be divinely perfect. There may be similarities between your husband and Aris that you have subconsciously picked up. God is revealing your heart.

The Spirit is showing me that you love picnics and walks in the park, botanic gardens, and the like. God is showing you an up-and-coming awkwardness between you and your husband.

Asking Aris about his sisters is, in effect, asking your husband what the churches are doing (see Sister). The unintentional brush against him is either a misunderstanding between you or perceived misunderstanding between you.

His joke about his sisters suggests that you are not taking the move of the churches seriously. The reference to University and having done it a couple times is a reference to over-emphasis of intellect in the church (see University).

When you turn away, it means that you have turned your heart away from either God’s call upon your husband or the church (see Turning). It may be that you have lost confidence in the church. Your boredom suggests that you are currently undergoing a midlife crisis. You are at the crossroads and have to choose between security for your future and Jesus’ need for first love.

31. Old Men Dream

Outdoor Parade, Tent, Feet, Shoes, Cold, Bare, Tip-Toes, Old Man

My family and I were going to some sort of an outdoor parade or performance. We were all going as a family. We came up to a small, oblong tent shelter. I looked down at my feet and thought, Why didn’t I wear any shoes? as the ground was a bit cold and my feet were bare.

We went into the shelter and had to sort of stand on tip-toes to see whatever we had come to see. In the tent there were at least two older gentlemen, probably in their 70s—John and Harry—that I recognized. We acknowledged each other, and I thought, What are they doing here?

Interpretation:

This seems to relate to your move to another church. The outdoor arena suggests exposure or revealing of issues (see Outside). The oblong tent shelter is a gathering place (church) and says that in your heart you see this move as a temporary arrangement (see Tent).

When you look down at your feet, you notice you have no shoes on. No shoes may suggest a lack of preparation (see Shoes and Shoes Off). The ground is cold because you have “cold feet” over this move (see Cold).

The fact that you have to stand on tip-toes to see says that you are trying to see what you are there for by sight, not by faith. If you are going to see what you are there for, you need to be in the Spirit (see Toes).

It could be that you find it threatening to be exposed as associated with this type of church in front of these men. The two older men equally represent the “old man” (see Rom. 6:6) strongholds in your heart (see Old Man). The two men you see probably characterize the strongholds of your old self (pre-Christian life), and also being in their 70s may suggest release from Babylon and being set for increase (see Seventy). Your husband has suggested that John has a very definite money-security issue. Given your dreams previously interpreted, I would guess that Harry has a control issue. Either his wife runs the home or he is a leader/controller. Please prayerfully consider whether your discomfort in the move and before the two men perhaps suggests that you are looking to the world (success in worldly terms tied to money) and have an authority issue.

32. Old Man Dream

Can't Sleep, Upstairs, Window, Corner, House, Ambulance, Car, Walk, Tree, Front Door, Lady, Sitting, Step, Bent Over, Grief, Wife, Left, Grey, Early Morning, Lawn, Street, Dressing Gowns, Mouth, Shaving Cream, Masking Tape, Turn, Cardboard, Socks, Five, Six, Blue, Black, Business, Main Road

I can’t sleep and it is about 3 A.M., I think. I look out my upstairs window across to the corner house. I see an ambulance and a small

car screech up and pull up in front of the corner house. I think that there is something wrong with the lady of the house.

I decide to go for a walk. As I walk, I watch the man on the corner house walk behind a tree and toward his front door. As I come in view of his front door, I see him sitting on a step near the front door. He is faced toward the door, and he is bent over and is sobbing with grief. I think that something has happened to his wife. I think I will go and comfort him, but I go on turning the corner to the left.

It is now the grey of early morning, and I am in a street more like a street near where I lived as a young person. I look across the street and see three men in old-type dressing gowns in a row on the front lawn. I go to pass them, and I see that the first man has something across his mouth. First, I think it is masking tape in an X and then I think it is shaving cream. I am a little frightened, and I start to run, but then I realize that they only want to encourage me. I turn around, and they have crossed the street to give me a hug and encourage me.

I go on to the next corner. As I turn left around the corner, I see two men across the street under the cover of the trees so I don’t see them clearly. But they give me two thick pieces of cardboard, and when I open them, I see that they have given me two pairs of socks. One pair is navy and one pair is black. I think one was size 6 and one was size 5, but I’m not sure. But what I thought was, It is good you get things while you’re out walking at this time of the morning, and I thought, I wonder if these will fit anyone in my family ?

Then as I came to the end of that street, I came out to a main road something like Port Wakefield Road, and there were businesses, and I wasn’t where I expected I would be.

Interpretation:

Waking up says that you are currently experiencing unrest. You go out to see what is going on. The ambulance and small car screeching up to the house says that this is an emergency and that the issues to be dealt with require urgency (see Ambulance).

Christ is the man (see Man). You are wondering whether He is in this? He walks behind a tree; this represents life (He is behind it) (see Tree). The woman is both you and the Church (see Woman). He doesn’t go to comfort His wife (Church) because she is unwell. The ambulance suggests she is on the brink of death (see Ambulance). Not going to Him as He sobs suggests that you are not intimate with Him. Christ outside the house also represents He is outside your heart. He is outside and wants to commune with you (see Outside). You are looking at having your needs met from your husband, not from God. You turn left (and not right) (left=flesh, right=Spirit) and go into your past (see Left and Right). What this says is that past issues make you turn from Christ. You are struggling to be intimate with Christ because of the past.

The “grey of early” morning suggests that you are lukewarm in your walk and uncertain in your heart (see Grey). Could it be that your heart desire is not to be in want?

The three old men on the front lawn are three strongholds in your old life, which cause the old self to rise up (see Old Man). The lawn represents the flesh and says that you are not mindful of the things of God (see Grass). I am not quite sure, but would suggest that the man with the X on his mouth represents that you have to watch what you say. The shaving cream would indicate you need to clean up what comes out of your mouth—speaking life rather than death—as your confession of faith. It may also refer to speaking in tongues. It represents the fact that you in some way cannot see the purpose, have shut it down, doubt its validity, or in some way feel it is unclean or foreign. I would suggest that your church upbringing is behind this. The Jezebel spirit doesn’t like the freedom of the Spirit; it tells you it is wrong or has no purpose.

The two other men (also appearing in dream 31) are probably money and control. You run from them, knowing it is wrong. However, they operate in conjunction with a seductive/deceptive spirit that says it only wants to help.

Each corner is decision time (see Corner). The two men under the trees represent the religious and the spiritual paths (Cain and Abel, Jacob and Israel, Simon and Peter, and so forth) (see Two and Man). They appear unclear because you are not walking in the Spirit (you are making left turns).

They offer you two pieces of thick cardboard, which speaks about not knowing what you are getting until it is unwrapped. Even then, a person needs spiritual insight to discern what is on offer. The two pairs of socks talks about clothing for your feet for different paths (see Socks). The blue pair is heavenly (Spirit-given), the black pair is lacking light (religious/sin) (see Blue and Black). This is also suggested by their sizes: size 5 (grace/favor) and size 6 (man/sin) (see Five and Six).

God is telling you that you have to make a decision. I am picking up in the Spirit that you don’t make decisions easily and will often let things ride because you do not want to decide either way. This is suggested by the fact that you did not put either pair on. You intend bringing home the socks and are not aware what you are bringing in. You don’t put either pair on, and end up not where you expected. Port Wakefield Road is a busy road (everybody’s on it, see Matt. 7:13) (see Highway). God is challenging you to make a decision to choose His way or you will end up on the busy-ness treadmill like everyone else without Him.

You need to get back to first love with Christ. Again, as mentioned earlier, you also need to be praying in the Spirit. The absence of exercise here is why you are lacking spiritual discernment and clarity. You are currently doubleminded. This is because when the heat is on, the yeast of the Pharisees (religious doctrines from the past) puffs up and corrupts everything in your heart (see Matt. 16:6). Past doctrines have sown seeds that manifest when pressure comes. The Scripture I am also strongly getting is John 21:18.

Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.

You are clothing yourself and ending up at Port Wakefield Road. You need to die to self and walk by faith, allowing God to carry you where He wishes.

33. People Running a Race Carrying Ladders

Running, Race, Ladder, Horses, Elephant, Tracks, Hill, Finish Line, Unseen Friend

I was standing on some sort of athletic track, and I saw people in teams of differing sizes (some on their own, others in groups of twos, threes, and fours and more) in a race running on individual tracks carrying ladders and heading for what I imagined must have been a finish line. I knew some of the people who were running. At first there was one or two who came into view over the brow of a small hill, and then more and more came running, or more like charging, for the finish line. As I watched, I saw some coming over the hill on horses, and finally one came over the hill straight toward me on an elephant. It was a little bit daunting watching this big elephant charging straight for me. It stopped just before getting to me. I knew someone was with me, though I didn’t see him.

Interpretation:

The people are running in the race of faith (see Race and Running). The different sized groups represent families, individuals, and congregations. The ladder they are all carrying represents Jesus Christ and the Cross (see Ladder).

The people on horses could represent those who have elements of the world in their Christian walk (see Horse), but they are more likely to symbolize those strong in faith (see Horse). The brow of the hill from which the runners come into view represents the place of revelation and strength without which these runners would not be able to charge to the finish line (see Hill).

The elephant which was on your track is representative of the large or high-profile ministry God has destined for you (see Elephant). The sense of foreboding you experienced means that in the natural this would not be possible. However, your unseen accomplice is the Holy Spirit, He is the one who is orchestrating this dream and is also in it with you. He will be with you (see Unseen Accomplice).

34. Pen in Pocket Dream

Pen, Ink, Stain, Dark Blue, Blue, Leak, Repeat Dream

I was wearing a blue shirt with a pen in the shirt pocket. The pen had leaked out dark blue ink causing a stain about the size of quarter (Aus: twenty cent piece). A male friend had pointed the stain out. The pen had leaked because the nib had not been retracted.

I have had this dream twice with six months to a year in between dreams.

Interpretation:

You are going to write material that will offend because you are not going to hold back (see Ink). The stain speaks of the offense (see Stain). The dark blue speaks of the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in what you write (see Blue). The dream is repeated twice as a sign of urgency and a confirmation of the message you are to write (see Repeated Dream).

35.    Person Tossed Off of a Rock

Rock, Wall, Fall, Toss, Brett, Toes, Legs. Pain, Groaning

I saw George get tossed off of the rock on which he was standing by another man named Brett. He hit a rock wall and fell down onto another rock, hurting his toes and legs. He was groaning in pain.

Interpretation:

Brett means “Brittany,” an area in France that was so named because it retained its British flavor (see Brett in Name and Place Dictionary). Therefore, George being tossed by Brett means that George has been removed because of the lack of change.

Hitting the wall of rock and falling onto the rock speaks of brokenness (see Matt. 22:42-44) (see Rock). It also says that George has been taken from his place of prominence and security.

Hurting one’s legs speaks of losing one’s strength. Hurting the toes in this situation speaks of having a serious affect on the walk of George’s spiritual children—the littlest members (see Legs and Toes). Groaning speaks of release of the spirit through death (see Groaning).

36.    Floating Dream

Room, Float, Window, Haze, Left, Eye, Hall, Cracked, Glass, Tripping, Floor, Tent, Mom, Dad, Zipper, Shut, Could Not Get In

I was in a room, a big room. I started to float across the room saying, “God is in the house!” I was in front of a large window with shut curtains, which were purple in color. The Presence of God fell

on me. Then I started to go across the other side of the room. It was blurry; I saw a white haze in front of me. I reached out with my arms into the haze trying to touch the Presence there. The Presence was stronger.

I started to leave the room down the hall. Seeing through my left eye was like looking through a cracked glass window. As I went down the hall, fear came over me, and I was afraid of tripping over things on the floor because I could not see very well.

I finally came to a tent, I was aware my mom and dad were inside. The zipper was shut, I could not get in. The dream ended. I woke up, and Psalm 22 and Jeremiah 8 came to mind.

Interpretation:

The Lord is showing you that you are a heavenly house of God (see House). Later this is contrasted with your parents, who by comparison are earthly tents (see Tents). The window speaks about “an opportunity” and “the eyes of your soul” (see Window). The purple curtain is Jesus (see Purple).

The anointing brings up a past issue (your parents). Your relationship with your parents causes you to stumble when you look through your natural eyes (see Left, Corridor, and Father).

It appears you have trouble relating to your parents. There is no familiar ground, and their presence intimidates you. The Lord is warning you that this is a potential stumbling block and that it quenches the anointing and Presence of God in you.

Your parents are not saved (earthly tents). In the natural (left eye), it looks like your parents will not be open (zipper stuck) to you, God, and the Gospel (see Zipper). This has the potential to seriously affect your walk with God.

You want a deeper love relationship with your parents, but when you go to your parents, it sucks the anointing out of you, like a bucket of water has been thrown over you. It’s like every time you connect with family, it’s in the flesh and you lose focus (even when you try to talk about the things of God), and you go away grieving.

God is showing you that you are not to look at them in the natural, but look at them through God’s eyes—His glory (the haze). You are to stay in the Spirit, to see them as God sees them, and in doing so, you will become Jesus around them, and you will see them open up (see Cloud).

37.    Stone Wall Dream

Living Wall

I saw something like a stone wall, only it was soft and alive. Words really cannot describe it. The stones were soft and interacting with each other. The wall was vibrant, pulsing, and alive. I thought how incredible and beautifully engaging the wall was, and I really wanted to keep looking at it.

Interpretation:

This wall is you (see Wall). The stones in the wall represent the deposits God has placed within you (see Stones). People will marvel at the anointing upon you.

38.    Frog and Take-Away Dream

Drive-Through, Car, Frog, Hobbling, Drain, Chicken Leg, Strapped, Tree, Hopped, Black, Birds of Prey, Ripped, Weird

I was driving through a take-away (drive-through) place in the car that I’d been given by a lady from church (this lady has a reputation of not being reliable). I saw a frog or toad hobbling along a drain culvert (with small holes in it) on the ground. I thought,

OK. . . ?

Then I noticed its legs were tied together. It had a piece of uncooked skinless chicken leg strapped to its back. It hopped up a tree, and a flock of birds attacked it (big black birds of prey—crows, ravens, and so forth) and ripped it to pieces. Then I drove off thinking, Well, that’s a bit weird!! And I woke up!

Interpretation:

The drive-through is really what is happening in your life. You are getting in your car to get fed, and you are unaware of what is going on. God is showing you via this everyday situation (you may regularly eat take-away) what is going on spiritually (see Automobile). In short, it appears you are looking for ministry as your source of being fed by God. The car going through the drive-through represents a commercial quick-fix mindset (see Drive-Through). You are rushing things and not meditating in the Word or seeking God (see Heb. 5:14). Be careful not to put ministry before your relationship with Jesus.

When you see the frog, God is showing you what is really happening. The frog represents two things:

1.    Deception (a lying spirit) or you have bought a deception (see Frog).

2.    A stronghold with influence over your life. The stronghold is looking to a human father-figure as your source instead of God. The broken promises you experienced from your earthly father cause you to look to other men as a substitute. The Lord doesn’t want this to repeat in your life in the later days, because God is your heavenly Daddy. He will never break His promises to you.

The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it

(Proverbs 10:22).

People’s promises are not always what they appear. Many promises appear very attractive, yet they come with troubles.

The fact that the car is meant to come from a Christian lady (as you described her) represents a ministry promised to you from an unreliable source. The promised car parallels the promised ministry you are expecting. Both are deception (the frog).

You need to be fed and well established before you go into ministry. God, not people, gives ministry. Once you are established in Christ and know who you are, with a full appreciation of your giftings and empowered by the Holy Spirit, you can minister out of overflow.

The fact that the frog is bound means it is losing its power, hold, influence over your life (see Bound). However, though you think you have moved on from past disappointment (from false promises), God is warning you that this could possibly surface again. The fact that the frog’s legs are bound means that it is partially dealt with, not fully dealt with. Hobbling along the drain represents a barren place, not being effective, no anointing (see Drain).

The chicken leg strapped to the frog indicates food or being fed. Uncooked means it is not yet ready for consumption (see Uncooked). It has not yet passed through the fire of testing.

The birds being black means they are demonic (see Birds). Should you climb too early into ministry, God is showing you your vulnerability and what the devil will do (see Tree). It could also represent the devil waiting till you are at the peak of your ministry before bringing you down.

This is a warning from God. It is a good dream. It shows that God is concerned for your welfare, and He doesn’t want His plan for your life jeopardized or derailed because of your childhood disappointments (see Jer. 29:11). You are vulnerable to men (father-figures) who make empty promises and cause you to suffer the heartache of disappointment.

He wants you to slow down in your aspirations for ministry. To rush ahead of God and His plans for your life will lead to catastrophe as the enemy will have a field day/feast. God does not want you to step into a role beyond your depth. When the timing is right, He will open the door, and His timing is perfect.

Please do not be fearful, for God has not given us a spirit of fear. For through this, God will give you the gift of discernment and wisdom.

39. Roofing Dream

Floor, Sitting, Chair, Playing, Toys, Roof, Leaking, Dripping, Doing Nothing, Water, Upset, Anger, Cleaning, Gutter, Dry Grass, Dirt, Muck, Hole, Flowing Water, Living Room

I was in the living room at my friend Tom’s house. Tom was sitting on the floor. Jean (his wife) was sitting on a lounge chair. Caleb (their son) was playing. There were other people in the room in the background (X4). I don’t know who they were. I was playing with Caleb. He showed me his room full of toys. Then I looked at Tom; the roof was leaking with water. It was dripping on Tom. He sat there and did nothing about it. I looked over at Jean in the chair. She looked upset and angry.

In the next scene, I went onto the roof of the house. I was cleaning the gutter. It had dry grass, dirt and muck in it. I cleaned it and discovered water flowing over a big hole, which led into the living room.

Interpretation:

The picture given by this dream shows Tom on the floor and Jean in the lounge chair. This seems to indicate that Tom is not in the place of authority at home. Jean is in authority and possibly puts Tom down (see Sitting). This wrongful authority structure is choking the Holy Spirit and blocking His flow into the household.

The Holy Spirit is coming in, but not correctly, which should be via the door. There are blockages in Tom. He is stumbling, perhaps due to strongholds— self-esteem, unworthiness—which may be blocking him because of past failure. It appears Jean doesn’t have respect or trust in him (because of past sin/ failure?). Jean may need to forgive Tom for something so that Tom can walk in his God-given authority. Tom will also then be released from a burden which keeps him from taking his rightful role.

Caleb playing with a room full of toys seems to indicate that he is spoiled (see Toys). His future is at risk because he is not really learning the ways of God from Tom.

The leak suggests that the Holy Spirit is coming in via a wrong way, and Jean finds this offensive (see Water). This may be because Jean sees a character flaw in Tom, which he appears to be doing nothing about, thus discrediting him in her eyes. The fact that this has been revealed to you means that there is a lesson here for you. It may also be true that Tom has a blind spot and cannot see it. Tom may be able to take this revelation from you (please pray for receptivity). [This dream has application in all households, particularly where the husband is more spiritual than the wife. If the man does not provide security through leadership and finances, he can be despised in his wife’s eyes, especially if his emphasis is the spiritual over the practical.]

Tom may need to deal with some wood, hay, and stubble (the grass, dirt, and muck in the dream) to make himself a better husband (see 1 Cor. 3:12). We can be anointed to help others and not help ourselves or deal with ourselves. A bad leak is created through our flaws.

God’s grace has revealed this, so that means God wants to bring His plans to fruition. Tom is praying about his calling and a door to open, which is God’s answer. God is saying that Tom needs to rectify things at home before other ministry will open to him. God doesn’t want Tom to come unstuck later because of a faulty home structure.

40.    Two Pairs of Shoes Dream

Shoes

I saw two pairs of shoes. One pair were the shoes I wear to work (in Christian ministry); the other the shoes I wear around home.

Interpretation:

God is telling you not to have two different walks. He is saying what you do at work in the ministry should be the same at home (see Shoes).

41.    Spider in the Slippers Dream

Slippers, Dark Blue, Floor, Spider

My husband is away a lot preaching the Gospel. I saw his dark blue slippers on the floor, and a spider crawled into one of them.

Interpretation:

This is a warning that when your husband is away (empty slippers) the enemy is going to try and hinder his effectiveness of moving in the Holy Spirit by attacking the home (his foundation). The Scripture that comes to mind is First Samuel 30:1-6 (see Slippers, Spider, Floor, and Blue).

There is an additional warning that, when your husband returns from ministry, the enemy will try to attack him in the home.

42.    Burning Wallet Dream

Wallet, Fire, Friend, Fence, Death, Corner, North

I set fire to my wallet. I was with a friend (though I didn’t see him).

My wallet was suspended on a post and wire fence. I had the knowledge that I was doing it in respect of a friend who had died. I was on the corner of Smith Road and the Main North Road. I was worried afterward that all my identification details were destroyed.

Interpretation:

Your friend is Christ (see Friend). The fence is a demarcation point; it is the separation between the old self and the new self (see Fence). This is reinforced by the fact that you were burning the wallet in respect of a friend who had died (see Wallet). That friend was your old self (see Friend).

You happen to be on the corner of Smith and Main North Roads, which indicates you will soon be moving around the corner from being lost in the crowd (Smith) to taking a closer walk with Christ who resides in the sides of the north (see North and Corner). The fact that it is not about money, but rather about identity is again reinforced by your concern for your identity details and not the loss of your money after the event. However, it is fair to say that this transition will cost you everything.

43. Terrorist Dream

Terrorists, Gallows, Hanging, Soldiers, Machine Gun, Wounded, Bullets

I saw some terrorists on a gallows about to be hung. At the same time,

I heard commentary about how these terrorists were planning to escape and then attack. I watched as one of the terrorists rolled off the platform with an accompanied explosion, and then I heard gun fire. There were wounded soldiers sitting in pews looking on; then one of the soldiers (he had his hand in a sling) got up and fired his machine gun back at the terrorists above the heads of the soldiers in the pews.

I had some concerns that he may have hit others in the pews because he was careless in shooting back.

Interpretation:

This dream is a significant warning. It speaks of potential problems created by false converts (the terrorists), who do not truly come to the cross of Christ. The gallows represent the cross and avoidance of the hangman’s noose says that they have not truly died at Calvary and thus avoid its demands on the human heart (see Hanging). These are seen as terrorists because they are used by the enemy to sow discord and strife in the Body of Christ (see Terrorists). They are the equivalent to the tares in Christ’s parable of the wheat and tares (see Matt. 13:25, 27-28).

The explosion speaks about an incident that is threatening to flare up, which will be followed by words fired back and forth (see Explosion and Shooting). Soldiers in the pews show the Church as God’s spiritual army (see Soldier). They are shown to be wounded because they have not fully dealt with the hurts and disappointments of the past (see Wound).

Wounded people are more susceptible to the attacks of the enemy and are prone to react without due regard for the welfare of the rest of the Body of Christ.

The soldier with a sling firing back is possibly a picture of a leader who is not fully whole himself reacting to the words that follow the incident; this has potential to hurt others within the ministry.

This is a warning to be aware of false converts, a reminder to work through past hurts, and also a caution not to react to everything that is said in and around the church.

44. Coded Numbers Message Dream

Code, Numbers, Two, Three, Four, Six, Seven, Eight, Display, Corner, Reservoir, Smart, Roundabout

In my dream I had someone whom I loved a great deal, but whom I hardly ever saw. We both had a set of numbers and the numbers were a matching set. My numbers were six, seven, eight, and his were something that went with them, but I can’t remember them. So what I was going to do was to post/display my numbers so that he would see them when he went on a certain road. I was going to put them up at the corner of Reservoir Road and Smart Road at the roundabout.

Interpretation:

This dream relates to your relationship with your husband. You complement one another. It appears that you and your husband do not spend enough time together. It also appears that God is communicating to your husband through this dream. Your numbers are six, seven, and eight. These particular numbers in this order are a good combination for they say that you are progressing spiritually. They say that you were in the flesh (six), are moving to Divine perfection (seven), and are ready for a new beginning (eight) spiritually (see Six, Seven, and Eight). What they spell out is a code for your husband to decipher.

It is possible that your husband’s numbers are four, three, and two which would be the complementary numbers to complete the order, or round to ten.

This combination, in this context, would mean that he now has rule (four) and will experience resurrection (three) through your unity (two) (see Two, Three, and Four).

The corner of Reservoir and Smart Roads is also significant because it says shortly (corner) you will get to the wisdom (smart) of God (reservoir) and turn around (roundabout) (see Reservoir, Corner, and Roundabout). This is a fantastic dream!

45. Shoplifter Dream

Shoplifter, Vase, Service Clerk, Supermarket

I saw someone stealing vases in a supermarket. He picked up a vase and put it upside down in a carry-bag. I could see four vases in the bag. He then ducked down in the queue at the checkout, and when no one was watching, he made his way through the checkout undetected. Once outside the supermarket, the shoplifter gave the bag to another man waiting outside in the mall.

I spoke to the store clerk about what I had seen, and he said they needed evidence. He then said he didn’t mind if I raised the alarm because any attention given to the would-be shoplifters would give him a break from serving when the crowd came to watch what was going on.

Interpretation:

The shoplifter is the devil (see Thief). The vases are people—potential bearers of the glory of God (see Vase). They are turned upside down because now they no longer are able to be used to carry the Spirit of God.

The supermarket is the church, and the store clerk is the shepherd of that flock (see Shop and Store Clerk). Unfortunately, this shepherd appears to be a hireling (one that is there for the pay only) because he does not carry genuine concern for the welfare of those for whom he is responsible (see John 10:12-13). The person in the mall is a religious spirit.

This dream is a picture of how the cults are used by the devil to rob God of His servants by luring them away from truth. The problem is that the members do not have a solid foundation in the Word of God and, therefore, are unable to discern truth from error. The cults typically have a distorted view of the deity of Christ, the Trinity, the devil, and hell, and they also discount the power of the Holy Spirit for today.

46. Dry and Hard Pizza Dream

Pizza, Dry, Cooking, Lady, Red, Wife, Fighting, Red-headed girl, Scratched Face, Wrestling, Kicking

I ordered a pizza. Although it took a long time to cook (about an hour and a half), I waited patiently. When it was ready, it looked dry and hard. I said to the lady politely that I didn’t want the pizza. She was very rude, so I threatened to throw the pizza at her. Then I made a complaint in private to my senior pastor. He said he would look after it. He went away and came back with the same pizza. I was upset and then walked out of the room (I believe it was red).

Then, I saw my wife fighting with a red-headed girl where I had ordered the pizza (I believe in the front foyer). My wife’s face was scratched. Then, I found myself on the floor wrestling and trying to hit her (the red-headed girl). She was trying to avoid me by kicking me with her feet.

Interpretation:

This dream relates to your relationship with your church. The lady is the church (see Woman). It looks like you are waiting to complete the will of God (food, pizza), and you don’t get what you expected dished up (see Food). This could refer to your area of involvement or the role you are expecting because you appear to wait patiently for it. What you do get is without life, hard, dry, and perhaps a religious mindset—you know, the “this is the way things operate around here” attitude. This is seen in the speed to cook the pizza, which is equivalent to a “slow to respond to needs” attitude. Cooking also speaks of works of the flesh (see Cook).

When you are disgruntled and say something about what is dished up, it appears the church turns on you. You don’t agree with something that is said or the way things are done and you tell someone (this is the threat of throwing the pizza away). This could also be a threat to leave the church.

This brings you in front of the senior pastor. The senior pastor listens to your case, but is powerless to offer you more. He really only wants to keep the peace and will side with those who have been longer in the church. The red room is an angry or passionate situation in which the flesh rises up (see Red).

In the midst of this, your wife is hurt (a scratched face means a hurt heart) and intimidated by an evil spirit that threatens to expose (in the foyer) some issue (see Face, Scratch, and Foyer).

The dream closes with you in spiritual warfare with this evil spirit. It appears that it is fearful of you (avoiding you), but lashing out when it has the opportunity. I am also reminded of Genesis 25:25-27 (see Red-Headed Woman).

47. Harlot Church Dream

Door, Mirrors, Elevators, Left-hand, Beautiful, Room, Old People, Man, Harlot

I was walking around the city; don’t know which city. Then I saw a church. I was looking down. There were two big doors. One of the doors opened; the one on my left-hand side, it closed. I saw two smaller doors within the two bigger doors. I went through them to a lobby. It was beautiful inside, full of shiny metal mirrors.

Then I saw lifts (elevators), and I went in one. I looked on my left-hand side whilst in the elevator and saw another elevator, which was open. I debated whether I should go into that elevator. I was concerned I might get lost, so I stayed where I was and turned to the control panel. It looked a bit like an H. I knew this was a picture of the two lifts and that I was in the left hand column. I pressed up, and it took me to another beautiful room.

There were elderly people around, and I found myself talking to a man who was large in stature. I asked if he was a Christian. He acknowledged and said, “Yes.” Then I asked if he believed in what the Bible says, he said, “Yes.” Then, I asked again, “Do you believe in the whole Bible?” and he said, “Most of it.” Then, it was like I went into preach mode, telling him he must believe all of it. Then, I realized I had no shoes on at that time.

Then, the man was gone and a lady in her mid- to late 50s wearing a red skirt, white shirt, and red blazer was on the same chair the man had been on. She was lying there on the chair. I asked her if she spoke in tongues, and she said, “Yes.” I started telling her it’s the only way to keep yourself in the love of God. You can’t do it in your own strength.

I also told her I was concerned and that’s why I was telling her all this.

I didn’t want her to go to hell. I said, “I better go now.”

Grabbing her on the leg, I got a bit aroused—I had the thought to take her or ask her if she would like to go to her room. I knew it was wrong to do such a thing, but instead I got up and began to leave. Then she said, “Don’t go. I want to hear more . . . .”

Interpretation:

You have entered into salvation (the narrow road, see Matt. 7:13-14) in a place where others have entered via the broad road (the big doors), which open for others to enter (see Doors). This took place at a time when you were depressed (looking down, see Down). The doors opening (prior to entering via the little doors) suggests that you were offered religion before you found Christ. You are also coming to an understanding that the real Church is within the church (door within a door).

Now that you have entered, you have begun to see beyond the shiny facade (an outward show with little substance behind it). The mirrors probably refer to smoke and mirrors (deception), vanity, or a preoccupation with self (see Mirrors). Having entered, you want to progress upward or grow spiritually. The elevator in the dream is the vehicle for spiritual progress (see Lift). However, you entered into the left-hand elevator. Left in this situation represents the fleshly, self-righteous, religious, unbelief, cursed, judged, death path attempt to get to God (see Left and Right).

Your concern about getting lost if you go into the other elevator may be a concern you have that if you go into the right elevator (God’s way), you may lose friendships you value (see Right).

You went up and arrived at what appeared to be a beautiful room (remember that the temptation fruit looked appealing to the eyes, see Gen. 3:6; 13:10). Seeing the old people means you are seeing the past. These people once experienced a move of God (see Old Man).

You speak to a man who is large in stature (see Tall). He represents the earthly authority in the church. You find out that he doesn’t believe in all of the Bible when you press him harder for truth. You also find you have no shoes on, which probably means that you have been stripped of authority to speak to him (see Shoes). Naturally, when people have no shoes on, they are cautious where they tread and cannot freely conduct warfare (here, warfare means witnessing or evangelism). The reason you have had your shoes taken from you is because, though there is a man in apparent authority, there is also a spiritual force behind him—the woman. She is lying on the chair. The chair is the seat of authority. She is a harlot—dressed in red—covering a white shirt (there was once a move of God in this place, but it has been prostituted and is covered by red [see Harlot]). The harlot says, “Yes,” to your questions to stall for time. This is lip service to buy more time to try and seduce you.

Though you apparently made the first move by touching her leg, she is seductive and is a master at presenting herself in an appealing way (see Prov. 6:25-26; 7:10-18). She wants you to feel you instigated the sexual arousal (she knows men’s hearts), but you remained faithful. Get out of there (see 2 Tim. 2:22)!

48. In the Army Looking for Part of the Platoon

Army, School, Bus, Garage, Hospital, Outside, Ballet

I’m in the army on a cruise ship. We land in an unknown city and are billeted in a school. A previous senior pastor of mine is our commander. I went looking for part of the platoon in a coach (bus). I went into the school garages, but couldn’t find the coach.

As I went further, the school led into a children’s hospital. I stepped outside through one door to see three people talking. One of them started to fall off a balcony-type area. I reached out and stopped her falling.

I went back inside and the rooms and corridors were like a maze. I came out into a large recreation-mall type area. I saw one child tied down and understood that he had a mental condition. I went past this person, and I saw people running to secure table-tennis tables so that they could play in their lunch break.

I went outside and got caught up with the crowds walking on the sidewalk. I stopped to put on one ballet slipper.

I was concerned because I wanted to get back to the school where I was billeted. I was unsure in which direction to go. Last thing I recall was I was going down some side street on a water ride like at a theme park.

Interpretation:

The cruise ship suggests that this dream outlines something of your Christian journey. What we are seeing is the period of time from when you were under that previous senior pastor.

The school represents learning through life (see School). When you are looking for the coach, it says you are looking for ministry (see Bus). The garage speaks of the need of organizational repair (see Garage).

You are next in a children’s hospital, and this could suggest that you were working with sick and immature Christians and perhaps are in need of personal repair yourself (see Hospital).

You step outside through one door, which is stepping outside of Christ. Outside you did have influence in stopping someone falling away (see Outside).

You stepped back into Christ. And what you have experienced has been like an ever-changing blockade in your attempt to make it through (see Maze). When you moved into the large recreation area, you noticed the neglect of those with mental issues, and instead of communion, found false love (table tennis) and games-playing. You step outside the system and are moved by the mass of humanity lost and going nowhere. At this time you stop to put on one ballet slipper, which speaks of God’s grace balancing you with the love of God (see Ballet).

Wanting to get back to the school where you were billeted may speak about an attitude ingrained within you of wanting to re-establish yourself within the organizational structure in which you were schooled. However, though you appear to go through a period of uncertainty, you find yourself being led by the Spirit (the water ride). This promises to be both a mixture of fun and uncertainty, taking you to places you have never been before (see John 21:18).

You need to put to death the desire to go back, which is looking for security in the old system. This will take some cutting of emotional soul-ties. In doing so, you will find the freedom of the Spirit and the ministry (coach) you are looking for.

49.    Parrot Dream

Parrot, Multi-colored, White, Feeding

I saw a multi-colored parrot pretending to be a cockatoo (white parrot), and I was feeding it.

Interpretation:

A parrot is a gossip (see Parrot). This one claims to be righteous, but it is not what it claims to be (see White). The fact that you are feeding it means you are giving the gossip fuel to pass on to others (see Feeding).

50.    Flood Dream

Village, Straight Road, Old Houses, Middle, Mucky Water, Women, Flood, Staircase, Foundation, Pregnant, Wood, Stairs, Old Man

There was this rural community like a village. In this community there was this straight road in the middle, and on both sides of the road were old houses and buildings.

Then I saw myself standing in the middle of the road, and I could see this water gushing up the road from one direction. The water was mucky. There were two or three women on that road who said, “We will still go through the flood anyway as it is not that deep.” But as they went through the flood, the water started gushing through really fast and deeper.

While I was watching them, I made the decision to go in a different direction, and I saw myself climbing to this one solid cement post that was standing still. This post was a part of the staircase (and a part of the foundation), so if you think about it, it followed the risers and steps.

As I was hanging on the post and feeling uncomfortable because I am pregnant, I looked around and saw this old house just three feet away. This house had a proper wooden staircase at the front, and I saw this couple with a young child on top of the staircase just feeling comfortable and safe where they were. And I said, “I could have gone to that staircase, which would have been a lot easier for me.”

Not long after that, the water subsided, and I got down from the post. An old man was watching me. I’m not sure what happened to those people who went through the gushing water.

Interpretation:

The rural community is your church; you may even think of it as such. The straight road is the way of the righteous and what lies ahead (see Straight and Road). The old houses and buildings represent those who are not changing. They are those who have a form of godliness, but are not applying the Word of God to their lives (see Old House). This may not yet be apparent to you. They have settled into life as Christians living in the flesh rather than in the Spirit. It is important to note that these people look and act like Christians, but God is showing you what they really look like.

While you are contemplating a major decision (standing in the middle of the road), a flood of muck or torrent of unearthing words (muck raking) comes gushing in (this may include lies) (see Road). It appears that these words affect many churches and not just yours (see Mucky).

It seems that God is going to allow some rather unsavory things to be revealed about leadership in the Church in general that will rock it and test its foundation. Some information gets unearthed, and this will promote a further flood of information probably as the media or one particular person sets about digging for more dirt to feed on.

The women that you saw on the road are churches (Christ’s Bride, see Eph. 5:25). The churches that attempt to make it through in their own strength will be swept away. These are the woman who said they can make it through because it is not too deep. You choose to go in the right direction (as you call it, “another direction”). That direction is seeking Christ in the Spirit. He is the only One who can save us in such a predicament (see Isa. 59:19b). He is the standard. He is the staircase (see Gen. 28:12; John 1:51), the foundation (see 1 Cor. 3:11), and the Word. And the Cross is the post (or pole, see John 3:14) on which you cling (see Steps, Foundation, and Pole).

I think your pregnancy helps us put a time on this event, and I would suggest, because you have less than six months left, we are looking at something within that time frame, although we always need to be wary of putting timeframes on God. Your pregnancy also says you are carrying a promise from God, possibly a prophecy over your lives (see Pregnancy).

Looking over at the old house with the wooden staircase symbolizes looking at the past (see Old House). It looks comfortable, but this is deception. The couple you are looking at is actually you looking to get back to the good life of your comfortable past. We need to be mindful that Jesus said, “No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). However, though they look comfortable, the wooden staircase means that what this couple has built is of wood (flesh) and not the Spirit (see 1 Cor. 3:1213), and again, it is old and therefore unchanged (see Wood).

You even think about leaving because it is particularly uncomfortable. But before you can make this decision, the torrent will cease.

On getting down the pole, an old man is looking at you. This old man is your past looking at you (see Old Man). You are going to be tempted to go back to the past comfort you once had. God is bringing you to the place where you are at peace. You can enter into the secret place that Jacob couldn’t (see Gen. 28:12ff). God is calling you to get back into the Spirit and be more mindful of spiritual things. You are currently experiencing anxiety and must be more in the Spirit to birth the promise you are now carrying. There is also a soul-tie of the fear of poverty from the distant past that is causing you concern.

You are uncertain what has become of those who tried to make it through in their own strength. They are those who did not have the right foundation. When the flood came, they were swept away because they were moved by circumstance rather than by the Word of God (see Matt. 7:24-27).

It is important for you to understand that God is using this torrent of muck to His own ends. He is cleaning up the church before revival. It is interesting that when the Israelites crossed the Jordan to enter the Promised Land, the Jordan was in flood, but this is also the time of harvest (see Josh. 3:15).

God is giving you this dream to prepare you for what lies ahead. I believe that you are being measured in your faith. God is saying to get in the Spirit. Be led by the Spirit, because it is in the Spirit that we birth God’s promises and become fruitful. It is our fruit (and seeing the fulfillment of His promises) that will shine when we stand before Him at the completion of the race. All that is of the flesh—wood, hay, stubble—will be destroyed.

51.    Head-on Crash Dream

Cars, Crash, Drivers, Hurt

I saw two cars heading straight toward each other like they were going to have a head-on crash. The two drivers were young and seemed to be playing chicken with each other. I saw the two cars crash, and I also saw and recognized the driver who got hurt.

Interpretation:

This dream is a warning from God (see Auto Accident). In the circumstance in which it was given, it means that two departments (vehicles) of the ministry in which the dreamer is involved will come to a place where there will be one department set against the other (see Automobile).

Due to spiritual immaturity, neither will be willing to yield to the other, and if that is the case, then the dream shows the department that will get hurt. The Scripture that instantly came to mind is Genesis 13:7-9. Therefore, meekness and trust in God are called for at this time.

52.    The White Hearse Vision

White, Hearse, Women, Passenger

I saw a white hearse with John (one of my congregation members) in the passenger seat. Someone else was driving, and there were two women in the back seat.

Interpretation:

The white hearse symbolizes the burial of an offense (see Hearse). The offense is identified by the two women in the back seat. One woman symbolizes an issue concerning John’s estranged wife, and the other the church at which John experienced betrayal by the pastor in a marriage counseling session (see Woman).

53. Foreign Invasion Dream

Foreign, Army, Invading, Rock, Sea, Rifle, Sand, Cave, Candles, Orange, Mel, Dune Buggy, Roof, Wall

A foreign army was invading, and I saw them at the base of a huge rock that went down into the sea. I and others were positioned somewhere higher on the rock looking down at their landing. I ran to get rifles and ammunition to shoot at them.

To do so, I had to crawl through the entrance of a narrow sandy cave about one foot high. There was something like a dozen orange candles on the base of this sandy entrance which led down deeper into the cave where it opened up. The candles were all at different stages of dying out. The majority were just wax mounds where once there had stood a candle.

At this point in the dream I had the revelation that it was only a dream, and yet the scene was so vivid and real, I could practically smell the wax and cool sand. Down beyond the entrance were two people—my compatriots—one male, one female. The entrance was so narrow I thought that the roof could collapse on me at any minute and I would die here. I realized that it did not matter if I died here because if I didn’t get through I would die anyway when the enemy overran the place. I realized that I must not give up and that there was something greater at stake here.

I made my way through the narrow entrance and down into the cave where the male person, who reminded me of actor Mel Gibson took me through a different exit to a powerful dune buggy type vehicle, and we went and got the arms we were after.

In the next scene, we had the arms (rifles and ammunition), and were on our way back, and I was conscious that the enemy was infiltrating. Mel showed me on a map how he had worked out to get us back to the hotspot. He, as the driver, was going to jump the car onto the roof of a fortress type structure and again jump it onto the top of a wall that ran toward where we needed to go. It looked pretty spectacular and exciting, but I was confident in his ability to get us to the hotspot. I was also aware that we would be shot at on the way.

Interpretation:

The invasion speaks about the infiltration and subtle influence of technology, which is leading the Church away and captive (addicted) to entertainment.

The cave speaks about the Church hiding (see Cave); this is the female deep in the cave (see Woman). The narrow sandy entrance says two things. Firstly, it says that the way is going to be under pressure. Secondly, it says that the Church is for the most part merely toying with the Word of God (see Matt. 7:26) (see Narrow). The orange candles are a warning about the state of the Church and its fading apostolic mandate (see Matt. 28:19-20). We, the Western Church, are being drawn into a flesh-comforting entertainment-rich lifestyle and, as a consequence, have become spectators. We expect people to come to us instead of going out carrying the message we have been given.

The fear of death I experienced on crawling through this narrow opening represents the fear of ridicule I feel I will experience for sharing this revelation. The realization that something greater is at stake says that I will proceed with this because I realize the Church is in jeopardy. The awareness that what I was experiencing was a dream and yet it appeared so real says that even though it was just a dream it is a certain spiritual reality.

Mel means “chief,” and therefore, Mel Gibson in this dream represents Jesus Christ, who has been taken into hiding by the Church (see Woman and Chief).

The dune buggy symbolizes a powerful ministry (see Dune Buggy) driven by Jesus Christ, who will carry this message onto a preaching platform (see Roof) and over the obstacles and barriers (walls) that would otherwise prevent it (see Walls). The rifles are willing hearts (launching pads) for words, and the munitions are those words (see Bullets).

Being shot at speaks of “friendly fire” from people within the Church for carrying this message.

54. New House and Goldie Dream

New Home, Gold, Five, Identification

I came home to a new home. The house was bigger than usual and everything was like new inside. As I went in, I saw Goldie was inside.

She said, “It’s only me; it’s not a burglar or anything.” Goldie was going through my things, picking out five things that identified me.

She had a photo and a hat and three other things.

Interpretation:

The new house is the promise of spiritual growth and fulfilment (see House and New).

The name Goldie means “a precious yellow metal” (see Goldie in Name and Place Dictionary). It represents money and relates to your spiritual growth and the prosperity that is associated with it. This is a warning from God that when you come into your spiritual inheritance to beware of money’s subtle power to steal away who you are in Christ (your identity). In the dream, Goldie says, “It’s only me; it’s not a burglar. . ..” This is a mark of the apparent friendship between you and her. However, she (money) is stealing your identity in Christ. She is attempting to take the grace and favor of God which identifies you (see Five). Beware, you cannot afford to lose who you are in Christ. Jesus says that you can gain the whole world and lose your soul (see Matt. 16:26). This is the danger here (see Deut. 8:7-11, 18).

55. Climbing out of Window Dream

Storm, Window, Upstairs, Roof, North

I knew that a really high wind storm was coming. I told my husband, and he tried to see it out the window.

In the next scene, we were upstairs, and he said, “I’ll have a look.” My husband stepped straight through the window and onto the roof and walked easily to the gutter and looked north to view the approaching storm. I was looking at his feet, thinking he wouldn’t normally do that, because a person would be cautious on the roof, but he stepped out confidently, like it wasn’t an issue.

Interpretation:

A wind storm coming from the north is indicative of the pending judgment of God (see North and Storm). Taking a look speaks of prophetic insight (see Lookout). Going upstairs represents going into the Presence of God (see Upstairs).

Stepping through the window says that your husband is stepping into the prophetic promises of God (see Stepping). He is going beyond merely seeing and is moving into place (see John 3:3-5). Confidently walking on the roof represents moving in faith on a preaching platform, and it appears part of his message may be judgment (see Roof).

56.    Skateboard Dream

Skateboard, Tricks, Wheels, New

I was on a skateboard, and as I was riding it, I was doing some tricks.

The tricks were basically kicking the back of the board to get it to slide out. I picked up the board when I had finished, and there was another young person with me. I looked at my wheels, and they were all worn out. His wheels were brand new.

Interpretation:

The skateboard speaks of youth ministry (see Skateboard). Doing tricks represents moving in the gifts of the Holy Spirit (see Trick). Wheels are representative of your spirit; having worn-out wheels means that you are not replenishing yourself in God after ministering (see Wheel). Seeing his wheels are brand new says that the other person is spending time with God to renew his spirit (see Isa. 40:30-31).

57.    Looking at Mushrooms Dream

Table, Jamie, Right, Mushrooms

I walked up to a table. Jamie, an old friend, was with me on my right.

I looked down on the table, and there were assorted mushrooms on the table. I had to choose the one I wanted.

Interpretation:

The table is the decision-making process, and choosing the mushroom says that you are allowing the decision-makers to keep you in the dark (see Table and Mushroom).

Jamie on the right means that the flesh is in control and, therefore, you are not seeing what is going on spiritually (see Jamie in Name and Place Dictionary). Like Jacob, you need to wrestle with God for His promises and not rely on people or ministries for your promotion in God (see Gen. 32:22-32).

58. The Flying Bus Dream

Flying, Bus, Butterfly, Carolyn, Seat, Coat, Cold, View, Coastline, Home

I was on board a flying bus called “The Butterfly.” Carolyn said the ride wasn’t the best (she had been on it before). I thought it was great! Inside was bigger than a normal bus, more like a 747 interior. We were coming back from a day trip.

I moved seats to be with someone else. I left my coat in the other seat. It was a little cold, but OK. I was concerned that perhaps my other seat would rob someone of a seat (that it wouldn’t be filled).

We didn’t realize that the bus flew until we started to see from the air. There was a great view along a coastline. We were free of traffic, and there were great views. We were relaxed and having fun on our way home.

Interpretation:

The Butterfly speaks of a ministry in the Spirit (see Butterfly). The butterfly is contrasted with the earth-bound caterpillar as being free from limitations.

Carolyn means “woman” (see Carolyn in Name and Place Dictionary). In this situation, it is a reference to a woman in your life who is not comfortable walking by faith (in the Spirit). A day trip is a reference to ministry in Christ (see Day).

Moving seats is a change of role and authority (see Sitting). This is reinforced by the fact that you left your coat in the other seat (see Coat). It appears that in changing roles you are concerned that your former position be filled. The slight cold you felt seems to indicate a cold reception of the decision to change roles (see Cold).

Seeing from the air refers to being in the Spirit and moving in the prophetic (see Seeing). The coastline is the border between the spiritual and natural realms (the boundary of faith) (see Coastline).

Being free of traffic refers to being free of the commercial systems of people. Being relaxed on your way home refers to making your way to Heaven (see Home), and not being caught up in traffic is a reference to being free of political or religious competition.

59.    Water Flying Over Keyboard Vision

Water, Flying, Computer

I saw water flying in slow motion over my laptop.

Interpretation:

The water flying over the keyboard speaks of an anointing over what you are writing (see Water and Computer). It is moving in slow motion because what is being written is taking time to come together (see Slow Motion).

60.    Screws in Head and Cheek

Son, Screws, Head, Cheek

My son had a screw in his head and one in his cheek. I offered to take them out with a battery-powered drill I held in my hand. He wouldn’t let me. He came back a while later and said, “I got them out myself.”

Interpretation:

The screws represent strongholds (see Screw). This dream shows that your son has two strongholds; one is a mental attitude, and the other is cheekiness.

His refusal to allow you to take them out indicates that he needs to be instrumental in removing them. Though he currently needs to deal with these two areas, it appears in the right environment that he will. The battery-powered drill in your hand symbolizes the Holy Spirit in your heart (see Battery and Hands). Don’t push the issue to force their extraction. Keep doing what you are doing, and God will lead him to deal with them.

61.    Tennis Player Smuggling Cheese Dream

Cheese, Smuggling, Television, Law

I dreamed that a prominent woman tennis player was caught smuggling cheese. I could see the shape of the cheese; it looked like mozzarella. The tennis player was in a lot of trouble because of the smuggling offense. It seemed a silly law, but it was the law, and there were serious consequences.

Interpretation:

(Asked about her relationship with tennis, the dreamer revealed that she used to play competition tennis and that more recently she had spent a fair amount of time watching the Australian Open on television.) With this information, it appears that God is showing that you are having your Christian maturity (cheese), or opportunity for Christian maturity, stolen or smuggled from you by television watching, as evidenced by your television watching of this event (see Cheese).

Though the television watching seems harmless (silly), it will have spiritual ramifications. This is a serious warning that if this continues, it will lead to problems because the call upon your life is going to require considerable Christian maturity.

62.    Shower of Gold Dream

Gold, Shower

In my dream, I saw a shower (like a rain shower), but it was of gold particles.

Interpretation:

As this dream was experienced by a Bible teacher (its context), it is likely to be about an outpouring of powerful teaching (see Shower and Gold).

63.    Wife Holding Calculator Dream

Calculator, Dad, Wife

I saw my wife holding a calculator because her dad was not there.

Interpretation:

This dream suggests that the wife is concerned about her financial security instead of trusting God (her true Father) for her security (see Calculator and Father).

64.    Three Long-Sleeve T-Shirts Dream

Clothes, Blue, Grey, Famous Person, Reporter, Mother-in-Law

I had been given three long-sleeve T-shirts in different colors: dark blue, grey, and light blue. Each shirt had been written on by the hand of someone famous.

A female reporter was at my home looking at two of the shirts and transcribing some of the writings. My wife’s mother had called in the reporter.

Interpretation:

The long-sleeved T-shirts represent ministry roles. The various colors say that the three shirts are three roles (see Clothing). It could be that this is past, present, and future. Light blue speaks about your spirit, grey about a period of uncertainty, and the dark blue a ministry in the Holy Spirit (see Blue and Grey).

The famous person is Christ (see Famous Person). I believe that those who are written on are pillar-like ministries within the Church (see Rev. 3:12).

This suggests that God is calling you to an apostolic role and that your work will become part of church history (the reporter commissioned by your mother-in-law) (see Reporter and Mother-in-Law).

65.    Supermarket with no Meat Dream

Supermarket, Meat, Box, Backdoor, Vacuum Cleaner

I went into a supermarket with a group of people. I couldn’t find much of a selection of meat. Instead of coming out the front door, I went around the back and climbed over boxes. Three vacuum cleaner boxes fell down in the warehouse.

Interpretation:

The supermarket represents a commercial church (see Shop). The lack of meat means that there is a scarcity of Bible truth being preached (see Heb. 5:12-14) (see Meat). Not going out the front door possibly suggests that you are leaving this church unofficially (see Backdoor). The three vacuum cleaner boxes say that the fullness of the Spirit has been denied and also explains the lack of solid Bible teaching (see Vacuum Cleaner, Box, and Three).

66.    Friend Chris Sinking in Sand Dream

Sand

My friend Chris was at the beach up to his waist in sand.

Interpretation:

In the context in which it was given, this dream suggests that Chris (a recent convert), is sinking back into the world after his conversion because he has no foundation in the Word of God (see Sand).

67.    Swapping Sunglasses Dream

Sunglasses, Kym

In my dream, my friend Kym swapped sunglasses with me. He gave me his sunglasses, and then in return, I gave him my own.

Interpretation:

This dream says that you will be given Christ’s perspective, and in return, you surrender your own. Kym is Christ because Kym means “chief” or “ruler” (see Sunglasses; see Kym in Name and Place Dictionary).

68.    Fox Dream

Fox, Field

I saw a fox leaving a field.

Interpretation:

The fox represents a political person or spirit who is harming the sheep (by tearing them apart) leaving a congregation (see Fox and Field). This is a good dream as it says that a divisive person is leaving the church.

69.    Five Computer Disks Dream

Five, Computer CD

I had a set of computer files on five disks (I felt like I have had this dream before). I kept them in that group because I didn’t understand them; they were too hard. I discussed this with someone. I looked through them again; they still seemed a puzzle. I didn’t understand them.

Interpretation:

This dream seems to refer to your thoughts about the grace of God given through faith. Five is the number of grace and favor of God (see Five). That grace and favor is accessed by faith.

The CDs represent your thoughts (see Computer CD). What this says is that you find it hard to understand salvation through grace rather than works. It may be that you have had this dream before or more likely that you have been asked to walk by faith in God’s grace before and found it equally discomforting. You may have previously felt that you have earned your right for approval by God.

70.    Sleeping Baby Dream

Bench, Baby, Sleep, Pram, Heavy, Bed, Table, Sheet, Center

We were, as a family, sitting on a bench in front of a building. I was holding a baby, and the baby went to sleep. As we didn’t have a pram with us, and I thought the baby would get heavy, we went to some friends’ place to see if we could lay the baby on a bed.

Their house had only one room with the bed in the center. The table was in the corner. They had been decorating, but had not finished yet. I lay the baby on the bed. Then I noticed a few marks on the sheet, so I was careful where I lay the baby. I gently pulled the quilt around the baby.

Interpretation:

Sitting on a bench as a family speaks of unity in your relationship. The bench refers to being on the sidelines or awaiting ministry (see Bench). Being in front of a building refers to a time before the establishment of your promise. The baby is that promise of God (see Baby). The fact that it is asleep means that it is resting and being strengthened in private before it awakens to a public life (see Sleeping).

The heaviness refers to the weight of expectancy/responsibility and going to your friend’s home suggests that you want to share your promise with them (see Heavy). A pram is a ministry to carry a promise, and the absence of a pram means that you do not currently have a public ministry that can carry the promise for you (see Pram).

A one-roomed house points to the fact that your friends are perhaps undeveloped spiritually (see House). Your desire to put the baby in their bed talks of a desire to share your promise with them and for there to be an agreement or alignment with them (see Bed).

The bed in the center speaks of thoughts or the flesh running the home, and the table in the corner says that their communion with you is not central or on the same wavelength (see Table). It also says that Christ is not truly central in this home. This is perhaps reinforced by them decorating, which may say that they are into superficial things.

The marks on the sheets speak of wrong thoughts toward the revealing of the promise (see Sheet). When your friends say something that showed they weren’t at your faith level, you closed in to protect the promise. Pulling the quilt around the baby says you chose to protect the promise.

71. Tracksuit Pants

White, Stripe, Tracksuit Pants

I was wearing a white pair of tracksuit pants with a red stripe down the side.

Interpretation:

This suggests that you have come into a righteous walk because you have been purified by Christ’s blood (see Legs, White, and Stripes). It also speaks of strength, grace, and boldness in your walk of faith.

72.    Spiders Crawled Behind the Desk Dream

Desk, Spiders

I went into a room with someone to do some work at a desk. As we approached the desk, black spiders of various sizes went scurrying for cover behind the desk. I thought first to spray them with insect killer spray, but then realized if I did that they would crawl back out again and that would present a greater threat than if I left them alone until I was leaving the room. When I left, I could leave a spider bomb (a can of insect killer that empties itself, killing all the spiders over a period of an hour or two).

Interpretation:

This dream speaks of a desire not to confront issues (the spiders) with a student (suggested by the desk) because of the threat that it would raise (see Spider and Desk). It also says that you would prefer to leave the need to deal with threatening issues till later.

This dream is a correction for you not to hesitate about dealing with issues. You are going to have to confront issues as they come up in the future.

73.    Playing Lead Guitar With Brian Dream

Guitar, Brian, Angel

I was playing lead guitar with a competent guitarist named Brian. I was playing way beyond my own ability and at the same time singing the song, “Heaven must be missing an angel.”

Interpretation:

Brian means “hill” or “strength” and is a picture of the Holy Spirit because He is the source of our strength (see Eph. 3:16) (see Brian in Name and Place Dictionary).

As angels worship in the Presence of God, and you were playing guitar singing about angels on earth, the dream is suggestive that you will lead people into true worship (see Angel).

74.    Tire Tracks on a Wet Field Vision

Water, Automobile, Field, Tire Tracks, Color I saw four sets of different colored tire tracks in a wet field.

Interpretation:

This is a retake of the parable of the sower and the seed (see Matt. 13:3-9, 18-23). The wet field is a picture of the Word of God being preached (see Water) in the world (see Field).

The different color tire tracks represent the individual responses to that Word (see Automobile). This is a reminder that not everyone will respond the same way. There will be heart issues that stop the Word from truly being rooted in a person’s heart, and there likewise will be people who are distracted by the cares of the world. These issues will stop the Word of God from having full impact in the life of the individuals to whom you are ministering.

Your job is to preach the Word, and the hearers will choose their own paths and thus declare in their actions whether they are true or false believers.

75.    Last Person on a Bus

Bus, Country Town, Related

I was on a bus to a country town. While travelling, I related with and was friendly to people on the bus. Everyone got off the bus progressively until I was the last person on the bus. I had the understanding that those who were getting off were catching connecting buses to other destinations.

Interpretation:

The country-bound bus is a country church you are currently attending (see Bus). In this dream, God is preparing you for His timing in coming to where He wants you. He is directing you not to look at others because what He has for them is different than what He has for you. It appears you will be in the place where you may become frustrated or anxious when it appears others are being fulfilled and you are not. That is because God has a special assignment for you.

I would recommend that you meditate on Christ’s 30 years of preparation, John the Baptist’s years in the desert, and Joseph’s confinement in Egypt. The degree to which God wants to use you is displayed proportionally in the number of years of preparation you have to undergo to get there (see Isa. 49:2).

76.    Preaching Platform in Car Park Vision

Car Park, Platform

I saw a preaching platform with a handrail on the up-ramp to a several story car park.

Interpretation:

This vision says that you will have an invitation to preach in churches that are filled with people who are going nowhere spiritually (see Platform and Car Park). Parked ministries have no destiny in God.

77.    Baldness Dream

Baldness

I was looking at my head and face from the front and saw that I had lost a lot more hair than I had previously noticed. There was hardly any hair on the top of my head, and I had this mane along my back neckline. I was initially surprised and yet settled that this was how things were.

Interpretation:

I believe this a sign of the humbling of God and the cutting away of the flesh that you are currently undergoing (see Baldness).

78.    Trucks Over the Railway Tracks Dream

Train Tracks, Truck, Earthmover

I saw several train tracks—perhaps a dozen—as you would see in a rail yard, and there were trucks and earthmovers driving over the tracks, damaging the tracks.

Interpretation:

What you are seeing is leadership being insensitive to the plans and purposes of God (see Truck and Railway Tracks). It appears those in leadership (in this situation, the husband of the dreamer) are working at cross-purposes to the things of God. Earthmoving signifies working in the flesh.

79.    New Cell Phone Dream

Dad, Three, Cell Phone, Code, Sim Card, Collingwood, MP3 Tunes, Recharge

My dad and I went to a mobile phone shop. They polished and fixed my scratched cell phone. I received a code and a new sim card for the phone. They also gave me a Collingwood (Australian football team, they are black and white and also known as the Magpies) phone cover. They copied dad’s MP3 tunes and also gave me several games and a $30 recharge. (A 9-year-old boy had this dream.)

Interpretation:

Dad represents God (see Father). The three phone shop signifies fullness of communication with God (see Three and Telephone). Fixing or repairing a scratched cell phone refers to renewing one’s spirit or correcting your prayer life. This is reinforced by the issuing of a new sim card, which is the heart of the phone (see Sim Card) with the ability of praying in the Holy Spirit. Praying in the Spirit is a direct line to the Father. The code refers to unlocking mysteries through praying in the Spirit (see Code).

The Collingwood phone cover is reference to being clothed as a hero. The tunes are worship songs from the heart of God, and the games are the gifts of the Spirit. The $30 recharge is showing this will happen at the right time (see Thirty). God is reassuring the parent that there will be a point of time when the son will be baptized in the Spirit and used of God.

80.    Eaten by the Devil Dream

Eating, Devil

In my dream, I was eaten by the devil

Interpretation:

The teenage girl who had this dream was about to have her weekend off after four months at a live-in Christian rehabilitation program, traveling 500 kilometers to stay with her parents.

The interpretation of this dream is best seen in the following Scripture,

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8).

This Scripture depicts the devil as a lion roaring causing the fearful to run so that he may devour them. If you read the context of this Scripture (see 1 Pet. 5:5-9), you discover that this advice is given in reference to young-old relationships. Therefore, the dream is a warning from God that the devil is going to threaten and try to provoke you, the teenager, in an attempt to get you to go into the flesh at home with your parents when you are on leave from the rehab program. There is probably an existing rift in the parent-child relationship that the devil is going to play on.

The solution in this situation is to maintain humility, which is also provided in these Scriptures (see 1 Pet. 5:5). Remember that we do not battle against flesh and blood (see Eph. 6:12). The devil always tries to get us to go into the flesh by reacting when provoked. It is important to understand that love and humility are the solid foundations for conducting spiritual warfare. By staying in the Spirit, clothed in the armor of God (see Eph. 6:11-18), a person resists the devil and he will flee.

81. Shooting at Clock Dream

Shooting, Clock, Shane, House, Bullets, Paneled Wall, Evidence, Closing Blind, Kissing

Someone was shooting at a clock. Shane and I were inside the house. The bullets were hitting the wood-paneled wall. We were trying to work out why he was shooting at the clock. It came to us that it was because the clock contained evidence. We pulled the blind down so that whoever it was doing the shooting was not able to destroy it. I kissed Shane.

Interpretation:

This dream is a warning about a spiritual attack. Shooting at the clock represents trying to end a person’s life by stopping time with damaging words (see Shooting and Clock). Bullets hitting the paneled wall say that the enemy is taking shots at your health (see Wall). Trying to work out why the clock is being shot at speaks of waking up to this spiritual attack of the enemy. The evidence is the testimony you are carrying (see Evidence).

Shane is representative of the Grace of God (see Shane in Name and Place Dictionary). Pulling the blind down with Shane speaks of God’s grace protecting you in this attack (see Ps. 84:11). Ordinarily, pulling blinds down could represent death. However, because pulling the blind down means guarding your heart, which stops the clock’s destruction, and this is followed by you embracing God’s grace (kissing Shane), it appears that there is a new level and balance attained in your relationship with God (see Ps. 85:10).

82.    Jets and Pilots Scrambling Dream

Jet Pilots, Aircraft

I saw military aircrews scrambling (pilots running in combat conditions) to get to their aircraft. This was followed by scenes of a sky full of planes dogfighting with freeze-frames of two individual aircraft. It was action-packed, similar to recruitment advertising.

Interpretation:

I believe this dream in its context is a warning of spiritual warfare taking place in your life. It is a call to prayer and intercession.

83.    Seduced by a Female in Black Dream

Seduced, Kiss, Spitting, Black

In my dream, a female dressed in black seduced and kissed me; then I spat it out.

Interpretation:

This is a warning dream. The woman in black is a spirit of death (see Woman). Being kissed says that you have embraced a lie from the enemy (see

Kiss). Spitting it out says that you recognize the lie and reject it (see Spit/ting). This dream was one of a series (also see Dreams 81, 82, and 84). Therefore, in its context, it suggests that the lie relates to a health issue (death), and the person concerned was encouraged to stand by faith against the enemy’s lies.

84. Crooks Caught Moving Goods Dream

Gang, Crooks, Gun, Pistol, Telescope, Police, Jenny, Blanket, Chocolate

A gang of crooks were moving goods at my home. We caught them and grabbed their gun, which the leader was holding. The leader went into another room to get another gun. I caught him putting it together and disarmed him. Both guns were pistols, though quite unusual was the fact that both had telescopic sights.

We were holding the leader of the gang until the police came. I went outside with Jenny and a car pulled up across from our house. It was invisible and the people in it were invisible also, though I could see the car’s and the occupants’ outline somehow.

We had the gang leader under a blanket on the floor. He was eating some form of chocolate-coated sweets that were scattered on the floor.

Interpretation:

This is an insightful warning. The gang of crooks are evil spirits and their leader a principality or power (see Gang). The gun speaks of the enemy using words against you (see Gun). The leader going into another room speaks about a two-fold attack (two incidents or two areas of attack) (see Rooms). The fact that the pistols had telescopic sights suggests that the attack is close range (see Pistol) and at the same time spiritual (from the second heaven—the spiritual realm) (see Telescope).

The police speak of angels (see Police). Also see Daniel 10:13. Going outside with Jenny talks about the Holy Spirit (see Jenny in Name and Place Dictionary) opening your spiritual eyes (see 2 Kings 6:17).

Having the gang leader under a blanket says that you have the principality under the authority of God’s Word. The chocolate represents the Word of God (see Chocolate).

85.    Long-legged Spider on Back Dream

Spider, Long-legged, Back, Wife

I had a long-legged spider on my back. My wife had to knock it off. Interpretation:

A spider is an issue or stronghold in your life. This one is long-legged, which means that it is long-standing (i.e. you have had it for a while) (see Spider). This is reinforced by the fact that it is on your back, which means it comes from your past and is steering your life (see Back).

Your wife having to knock it off suggests that the Body of Christ will be used to deal with a long-standing issue in your life (see Wife). I believe this is most likely spiritual pride, which could also be suggested by the long-legs.

86.    Firing an Arrow Into a Flock of Sheep Dream

Neighbor, Cliff, Arrow, Sheep, Evidence

I was on a cliff overlooking my neighbor’s flock of sheep standing in water below. I fired an arrow at the flock of sheep. The arrow scared the ones close to it as it skimmed across the water, but it really didn’t make the distance. I was concerned that my arrow was floating in the water as evidence.

Interpretation:

This is a warning against saying something wrong about another church (see Neighbor). Your neighbor’s flock of sheep is another church (see Sheep). Overlooking speaks of having prophetic insight (see Cliff). Firing the arrow suggests that you are in danger of saying something against another church (see Arrow). Though what you said doesn’t carry too far, you are concerned about reprisal for your lack of wisdom in speaking as you did (see Evidence).

87.    Snake Dream

Bed, Snake, Leaves, Holes

My husband and I were fast asleep, and in my dream we were sleeping on soft leaves that are neatly matted together—it looked like it was comfortable to sleep on. Then all of a sudden, I was woken up. I felt something slithering in between us. I knew straight away that it was a snake, so I thought to myself not to move or else I will get bitten.

My husband was fast asleep, not knowing what was going on. I couldn’t really wake him up, and I was very cautious not to move. As I was lying and watching the snake slithering in between us, I saw the tail curl with a hissing sound. Just after the snake had gone past, I felt another one crawling under the matted leaves where we were lying. This one was a lot bigger than the other one—about four or five times bigger.

As the snake was crawling underneath, I could feel it under my ribs, and it felt a bit ticklish, so I tried to control myself not to move. The next morning I saw the trail and the holes (like a tube) underneath the matted leaves where the snake had gone through, and I was showing the trails to someone and asking for wisdom or maybe interpretation of what happened that night.

Interpretation:

A bed is symbolic of your agreement, alignment, or unity (see Isa. 57:8). The bed of leaves represents the righteous life of your marriage (ordained by God) and the positive words you have built your relationship on (as in leaves of a book, see Jer. 36:23). However, the snake represents poisonous words that have been spoken recently between you which act as a trouble-maker. The fact that it crawls between you is indicating a desire to divide you through misunderstanding. Not moving refers to not responding to the poisonous words.

The larger snake is the devil, who is lurking in the background testing your relationship looking for ground on which to get in (see Eph. 4:25-27). I believe the ribs refer to your heart and the tickling is trying to woo you and find entry. This reminds us of the garden where the devil got in through the woman who was created from Adam’s rib. Not moving displays the faithfulness of your heart. Beware of a lying spirit at work in the background of your thoughts.

I think the trail is evidence that the enemy has been at work, and the holes represent the devil trying to undermine your unity. A request for wisdom is a request for how to deal with this issue, and interpretation is a request for understanding of what is going on.

I think the dream is God’s warning to you both of what is going on. The way to deal with this is always to be undergirded by humility and love. As well as repentance for what has been said, you both need to seek the Holy Spirit for wisdom on how to address this issue. The big snake in the background is a real warning to take seriously a threat to your marriage.

88.    Wearing Shoes in Bed Vision

Shoes, Bed

I was wearing shoes in bed.

Interpretation:

This signifies that you are being lazy with the Gospel (see Bed and Shoe).

89.    Reinhard Bonnke in Hotel Dream

Famous Person, Hotel, Woman

I saw Reinhard Bonnke in a hotel with lots of people. He was restricted in preaching by a woman wearing a red corporate suit (uniform). She escorted him when he went into the different areas of the hotel, restricting him and his ability to speak freely to the unsaved. The woman was employed by the hotel chain.

Interpretation:

Reinhard Bonnke represents the evangelist and his message of salvation (see Famous Person). The woman is the corporate Church (see Woman). The hotel chain represents the church denominations at rest (see Hotel). The business-like nature of the church is stopping the flow of the Spirit of God and His ability to reach the unsaved.

90.    Termites in the Water Meter Dream

Termites, Water Meter

There were termites in the water meter.

Interpretation:

This dream, which is apparently nonsense, actually refers to something destructive robbing a person of the anointing. The water meter symbolizes measuring the anointing (see Water Meter). The termites represent people undermining you because of the effectiveness of the anointing (see Termites).

91.    Kicking a Ball Into the Queen Dream

Ball, Kicking ball, Left, Right, Group, Queen, Shoulder

I kicked a football with my left foot into a group of people, intending to pass it to a person on the right of the group. However, it hit the queen in the back shoulder blade. Someone said, “What a shot!” (I recently was kicking a football around with some friends and did use my left foot when I was playing more casually).

Interpretation:

Kicking a football speaks of speaking or releasing words with power (see Ball [Kicking Ball] and Legs). Passing the ball to the person on the right of the group speaks of wanting to pass on revelation to those who are really living for God with all their hearts (see Right). The group speaks of the Body of Christ.

Your casual kick is saying that though you innocently pass the Word on, it becomes a burden for the religious church (see Queen and Shoulder). This is because it will expose both their religiosity and the superficial nature of their belief. Someone saying “What a shot!” says that a more deliberately planned scheme to expose the false church could not have been developed. It also says that what you are saying is from the Spirit of God for this particular purpose.

92.    Stepping in Dog Poop Dream

Dog Poop, Odor

My children were telling me, “Dad, you’ve stepped in it!” referring to dog poop.

Interpretation:

This is a reference to offending your children. As the offense is depicted as odorous, it suggests that you have addressed something in their lives in the wrong spirit (see Odor and Dog Poop).

93.    Alternative Therapist Dream

Queue, Alternative Therapist, Fat

I was in a queue to see an alternative therapist. I was conscious that I did not need to be there. I looked up at the list of services provided by the therapist and the only one I could identify as being of any benefit to me was, ‘Calculating your fat index’.

Interpretation:

Being in a queue says that you are waiting for ministry (see Queue). The alternative therapist says that while you are waiting, you find yourself attending an unconventional (not usual) medical practitioner. This equates to going to a “faith” church (see Alternative Therapist). “Calculating your fat index” is reference to recognizing the measure of the anointing you currently carry and adjusting your spiritual diet to increase it (See [+] entry under Fat).

94.    Purchasing Chairs Dream

Buying, Outside/Outdoors, Chairs, Table

We were one of two couples who bought a pair of outside chairs with a table between them.

Interpretation:

Buying an outside chair says that you are laying your life down for an independent work which carries authority (See Buying, Outside/Outdoor, and Sit/ting). The table says that this is God’s provision for you (see Table). As you are one of two couples, it appears that you share the work with another couple.

95.    Sister Taking Dad’s Shoes Dream

Sister, Dad, Shoes

I saw my older sister picking up my dad’s shoes. I said, “Put them back; don’t take dad’s shoes!” My sister ran off with the shoes.

Interpretation:

In its context, this dream says that dad has lost his peace because of a breakdown in the relationship between himself and his teenage daughter through rebellion (see Shoes). There is also a warning of jeopardizing dad’s future ministry (see 1 Tim. 3:4).

96.    Face Cut Vision

Face, Cut, Light, Laser, Machine gun

I saw a face being cut on the cheeks. It could have been torture. Then light broke through a crack in the head. It became a laser machine gun.

Interpretation:

The face being cut speaks of cutting away the flesh from the heart (see Cut and Face). This leads to the heart being a true vessel for the glory of God, which becomes a powerful and focused force (through words) for God (see Light and Machine Gun). See Judges 6:16 (note “as one man”); 7:16-21.

97.    Rocket Firing in the Distance Dream

Horizon, Water, Rocket, Sky

I was sitting on a bank with a group of people when I saw what looked like a rocket being launched on the horizon from Iraq. It looked like a firework—the trail—going into the sky. The rocket split into two missiles. One of the missiles came down, just missing me and the group of people I was with. It went over a body of water, causing a bow wave as the water was sucked up in the wake. It hit an embankment and failed to detonate or explode.

Interpretation:

This dream is a warning of spiritual warfare ahead. It appears you have been targeted by the enemy. The rocket is that attack being launched, and it is on the horizon because it is in the foreseeable future (see Horizon). The rocket is launched from Iraq, which depicts the enemy. It appears that you are not the only target of the enemy because the rocket has two warheads. The body of water speaks about your heart (see Deep). Though it initially moves your heart—the bow wave—it fails to detonate, which means it doesn’t have lasting impact. The water is also representing the Holy Spirit, and it appears that He has deflected the attack and protected you.

98.    Wife With Tattoos on Her Body Dream

Wife, Tattoos, Body, Lake, Daughter, Truck, Water

My wife had tattoos all over her body. She unashamedly took her clothes off and was next to a lake about to go in. It surprised me. One of the tattoos was like a chessboard. The tattoos in some way represented the teachings of her father. My daughter was also there. I said,

“Be careful” and stepped between my wife and a truck (which had two workmen in it) that pulled up in the next field. My wife didn’t care. There were things stored in and around the lake. I saw a stack of face towels under the water.

Interpretation:

Your wife represents the Church (see Wife). The tattoos symbolize the teachings of God (her Father). Your daughter being present says that this is a future event (see Daughter).

When you step between your wife and a truck with workmen in it, you are moving to protect the Church from big ministries, or leadership, that are in the flesh (see Truck). Your wife entering the lake speaks of the Church being cleaned up. This is reinforced by the face towels under the water (see Water).

99.    Stretching Legs Dream

Legs, Stretching

I saw myself stretching my legs and exercising.

Interpretation:

This dream speaks of preparation and strengthening prior to the ministry that God has for you (see Legs and Stretching). I foresee the need for more time praying in the Spirit (see Jude 20).

100.    Rebuilding a Light-Fitting Dream

Light-Fitting, Tank, Enemy, River, Supervisor, Rendezvous

I was rebuilding a light fitting for a tank (army), which was floating on a pontoon in readiness for a landing. An enemy soldier kicked the fitting into the river. I reported the incident to my supervisor.

We were getting ready, counting down time to be ready to go to a rendezvous.

Interpretation:

Rebuilding a light-fitting speaks about preparing your heart as the place where the light or glory of God is to reside (see Light-Fitting).

The fact that the light is part of a tank says that your ministry will be powerful and impacting (see Tank [Army]). The enemy is a spiritual foe, and his opposition to slow you down actually causes your heart to be immersed in the Spirit (see River). Your supervisor is the Holy Spirit (see Supervisor).

The landing and rendezvous is a preplanned mission that God has for you, which you will be released into in His perfect timing (see Rendezvous).

101.    A Dam Full of Snakes Dream

Dam, Snakes, Farm

I was walking along the bank of a dam on a farm where I grew up. And I saw the dam was full of snakes.

Interpretation:

The farm is representative of the harvest field (see Farm). Seeing a dam full of snakes is prophetically seeing a place where there was once the Holy Spirit (water), but which now has been replaced with sin and hypocrisy (see Water and Snake).

Appendix B

Getting Right with God

If I am not a Christian, what must I do to get right with God?

God loves you and has been trying to get your attention through the dreams He has given you. If you now want to get right with Him, then you need to take the following steps:

1.    Admit your insensitivity to His communication (the Bible calls this having a hardened heart).

2.    Recognize and admit that in your life you have done wrong (the Bible calls this sin).

3.    Turn away from doing your own thing and be prepared to let God lead you.

4.    Understand that when Jesus Christ died upon the cross, He died as the penalty for your sin. He took your punishment. Jesus willingly laid down His life so that you could come into a relationship with God. This privilege is based solely on your faith in the worth of Jesus’ blood shed for you. Jesus is the sinless and eternal Son of God. (Jesus was raised from the dead after three days as proof of God’s acceptance of Jesus’ blood as payment for your sin).

5.    With this knowledge, now ask God with all of your heart for forgiveness for all your sins. By faith as you pray this prayer, your sin is placed upon Christ, and in return God has brought you into right standing with Himself. You are now born again and have eternal life. Hallelujah!

6.    If you prayed that prayer, you have been cleansed from your sin and now need the Holy Spirit to fill you so that you have the power to live the Christian life. Simply ask Jesus to fill you with His Spirit right now.

7.    Congratulations! You have just made the most important decision of your life!

8.    Where do you go from here?

•    Get to know God by reading the Bible daily (The Gospel of Mark in the New Testament is a great place to start).

•    Set aside a time to speak with God in prayer on a daily basis.

•    Ask Him to lead you to a Spirit-filled church that you may be strengthened and encouraged by the faith of other believers.

Adam has been instrumental in planting ‘Field of Dreams’ Church in South Australia.
