Today's episode, we're diving into a topic that mysterious for some, exciting for others, and for many-a little bit of both. We're talking about how God speaks to us through dreams. Yes-dreams-those visions we get while we sleep that sometimes make no sense and sometimes shake us to our core. So grab your journal, your Bible, or just your heart- and let's dive in.
The Dreamer- Joseph, Joesph(Jesus's earthly father), and Paul. God gave prophetic dreams to Joseph and it lead him to his God-given destiny.(Genesis 37:5 NKJV). Joseph(Jesus' earthly father) God warned Joseph to save Jesus from being killed( Matthew
2:13 NKJV). Paul was giving instructions on his ministry direction (Acts 16:9). Remember that dreams never die because God is the one who gave them the dreams.
*Dreams from God may take time to come to pass, but they never die*.
I began having dreams at the age of seven or eight years old. I didn't fully grasp the blessings of being a dreamer. I recall asking God to remove this gift because I was fearful of it, not realizing that not everyone possesses this gift and how fortunate I was that God entrusted me with it to share with others, to guide me, to warn me, and to reveal my purpose through the dreams God was revealing to me.
Don't fear the unknown- seek God in it. Sometimes your next step is hidden in a dream.
Purpose of our dreams:
1. Dreams that WARN us
2. Dreams that GUIDE and INSTRUCT US
3. Dreams that REVEAL PURPOSE
4. Dreams for OTHERS
Faith over Fear Challenge:
1. Keep a dream journal this week.
2. When you wake up, write down anything you remember- no matter how strange or small. Be very detailed
3. Pray over it. Ask: "God, is this from you? What are you saying to me?"
4. Line it up with his word. God will never contradict Scripture.
God always confirms His word with His word.
"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians
6:12 NKJV
