Artificially Implanted Dreams – are they okay?

where our video is at see if we are going as you guys are logging in be sure to put in your comments where you're at where you're watching from i know we've got people from all over the place that that join in we've had people asking when we're going to be doing this again um and actually while you're getting ready if you're watching this live i know some of you watch it over the next period of time you don't get to see it live but if you're watching it live here in a couple hours i'm going to be doing something on facebook with a ministry called love revival out of sweden we're going to be having a conversation as well my friend jonathan we're going to actually he hasn't even told me what we're going to talk about so i'm sure i will figure it out when we start talking but we're going to talk about we always talk about the presence of god the power of god and how god speaks and we always try to make sure that there's a ministry time that's involved in that so if you're interested get on facebook and look up love revival he does these videos with a bunch of different people uh i think like every week couple times a week but some of them are in swedish so if you don't know swedish you're going to want to make sure you find the ones that are actually in english because otherwise it's not going to be very helpful i mean you could always feel the presence of god even if you don't know the language but it is helpful to be able to stay engaged with what's going on okay and we now have and we the sound is working which is a good thing i'm glad to find that out so we've we've got video everything is going wonderful yay so still wait and let's see where people are coming in from as you guys are hopping on so we did something last week i was doing a couple classes with hong kong and because of everything that's going on they've got a two-week quarantine and right now the united states has a two-week quarantine for someone that comes from hong kong back into the united states there was no way for me to actually travel there physically and be able to do the meetings that we were planning on doing we've had them planned for two years and because of everything going on we just were not able to actually be there i got my visa but just just before i was supposed to go but again with everything happening that's not a possibility so i ended up doing all of those meetings virtually which was a lot of fun it actually worked out pretty well i was in my office for a couple of them for one of the seminars and we did a class i did the practical prophetic training course that i wrote i taught that and i actually taught that in our classroom right here in the offices and that was a lot of fun it was it was interesting it was engaging it was very different doing prophetic exercises virtually of course they were able to meet and gather together we had three three or four people that were on virtually we have a couple people that are in china that were part of those courses so getting to minister into china finally a little bit more directly we've got a lot of material that's gone into china and one of the things that we announced and sent to them is our needless casualties war we have that professionally translated into chinese and available as a pdf so if you know of anybody that reads chinese and would like a copy of that it's free if you know anybody that's in china or that ministers in china and you can help us get that we just want to make it available to as many people as possible because we believe that that is such a helpful resource especially with the warfare that's going on in the church in china and what's needed there and and what's a healthy way to engage in that warfare and so we want to make that available let us know

canada welcome guys glad you're able to get on and and glad you're able to join us we're going to have we're going to talk about something that's very intriguing and it's this new thing there's been so many different studies on sleep and dreaming it's been a fascination for people for thousands and thousands of years actually it was around the time of joseph so we're we're looking at what was that about 5 000 a little over 5000 years ago around the time of joseph the first dream dictionary that we know of was written in egypt funny enough that they actually wrote out this dream dictionary if you dream about that then this might be going on and you can actually look it up online now i don't suggest using it to interpret your dreams i'm sure that there's some stuff that that they fell onto and i'm sure that god was speaking to them and some stuff but i'm also sure that there was mixture in that especially if you understand egyptian religion and how that works it's it's the source of of much of our kind of new agey uh dynamics that we're dealing with and some of the weirder kind of spirituality that is even touted in in some places in the world right now so wow we got brazil we've got philadelphia we've got people coming in from from many places so uh some of the study there's been a recent thing that's come out somebody told me about this a year or so ago and mit has released a report so mit massachusetts institute of technology one well known for their advances in technology and being a wonderful school to go to if that's the the type of thing that you're looking into they have done a study on dreaming and in in the study on dreaming what they've done is paying attention to how they can record the dreams that people have you can record through brain waves eye patterns you can tell when someone goes begins to dream even when they're sleep their eyes will start moving back and forth with their eyes closed you can actually see the movement when they start dreaming and looking into some of this now there's been the this suggestion that that probably i think 20 years ago or 30 years ago was pretty much completely accepted as the only truth that that is starting to be challenged the idea that the the time of dreaming is in what we call stage four sleep or rem sleep rapid eye movement sleep which is the fourth stage there's five stages of dreaming in the way that they've done the study the fourth stage is rapid eye movement and that's where dreams most often happen now most most places will say most often happen they used to say that's when dreams happen but they've actually found and i and i've got to find the the word because it's not one that i'm really familiar with the the lowest level of sleep the first level of sleep they've actually found that people also have dreams in the first level of sn sleep which is uh hypenagogia h-y-p-n-a-g-o-g-i-a hype nagogia it's the earliest sleep stage but it's very sl similar to rem as far as brain waves but the big difference is that during this level of sleep your your auditory senses are still active in rem sleep your your senses are completely suspended but in this level of sleep your auditory senses are still active and so they've found they can actually implant and suggest dreams by sending auditory signals when they can when they find that someone is in this look excuse me this level of sleep so they've created an app and it has like i i think it has headphones i'm not sure how they do it if it's external but it's connected to equipment that is watching the person and verifying what level of sleep and when they can tell that this person's at that level of sleep it starts to send auditory impulses and it can cause people to dream what they want them to dream so if if somebody wanted to dream about a dog they could start sending the impulses and they'll start dreaming about a dog or about their job or about love or about uh anything they can suggest and i don't know how detailed the suggestion is i need to look a little bit further into it but they can suggest these things that then causes them to dream and it's implanted dreams it's artificially implanted dreams so it's not a dream that is actually coming directly from clearly not from god and it's not from the demonic but it's kind of what we would call a body dream uh it's it's being caused by physiological things external physiological causes and and so the question is like is that okay i mean what what what's what's the harm in that and here here's a couple thoughts for us to think about one dreams are supposed to be a gift from god their way that god communicates with us if we start playing with our dreams and manipulating our dreams it takes a lot more to discern when a dream is from god and when a drain is from us so number one it's gonna make it much more difficult to recognize and respond when we have a dream that's from god and that that that's important right there if that was the only reason um i mean yeah i mean it's an interesting curiosity but why bother why would you do something that might affect or or even cause you to have less dreams from god because when you give yourself over to something when you begin to use it for your own purposes that's intended to be for his purposes sometimes he lifts his hand to allow you to have the freedom to do what you're trying to do and and that would that would not be what what many of us would want if we're trying to hear from god in our dreams here's the other thing there's there's levels of this and i don't know that this specifically but there's levels of this that actually can be connected to the concept and the way that the brain suggested information that comes into the brain with hypnotism you put someone in a sedated state where they're not completely aware but they're partially aware and then you begin to suggest things to them so there's a there there's a similarity even if there's not a connection but there's definitely a parallel with hypnotism and one of the problems with hypnotism is it puts the the subject under the influence of someone else uh if you completely trust that person that may or may not be okay there's actually some questions whether or not that's completely mental and some hypnotists clearly do use demonic powers as well some don't some do and they don't even realize that that's what they're doing and so it's on the edge of witchcraft and so you you do want to be careful with playing on that edge are we trying to figure out how much we can get away with or are we trying to figure out how we can be as close to god's throne as possible or do we want to figure out what's the least that we can do what's the most that we can get away with and still make it into heaven are we trying to figure out how to pursue his heart and to go after him with everything that we have if we're trying to figure out how to get away with the most that we can and just barely make it in and at least not completely cross the line where where where where we do not have salvation well then play around with stuff but that's a pretty stupid way to go about your spirituality because how do you know it's about relationship it's not about some magic formula that makes you saved it's not because you you said some words someday and and now that you've said those words you've gotten your spell and you're going to have your result you're going to make it into heaven because you said the right words those words are intended to be the expression of a heart that is surrendering to him and if there was no truth in those words if there was no surrender if there was no true faith then those words were empty and they didn't actually do anything and and so our heart and our place should be to pursue him and do all that we can to go after him not to figure out how much we can get away with and still make it in but one thing i can tell you about this kind of dreaming is that there it is impossible to have an implanted dream that you cause that's a dream from god because if you cause yourself to dream it's not a dream from god and actually god has warnings in scripture about dreams that people cause themselves to dream you have the you have the the i believe it's jeremiah 23 but i know it's in jeremiah a couple different places where jeremiah is told about these dreams that that these dreamers have caused themselves to dream that they're not actually dreams from god and that this is not a good thing it actually leads people away from god's plan and what god is wanting to do in their lives what god wants to do through them and and it defiles the prophetic gifts so that the messenger cannot be trusted and we have to avoid this if we want to be ones that are carrying the voice of god carrying the word of god to the people around us whether it be our family whether it be our community whether it be our church whether it be to nations it doesn't matter what sphere that may be if we want to be a trusted voice then we should fully surrender to him in absolutely every way so i i don't have specific revelation and i can't point to a specific verse but the question that i would have with this type of dreaming and possibly what we will find out over time as we begin to find more and more people that have allowed themselves to get involved with this what kind of fruit comes into their life how does that change and and what happens we we may end up having a whole nother area that we get to learn for inner healing and for deliverance it's possible depending on what's being suggested it's possible that this kind of thing opens us up for demonic dreams now again i i don't have any scripture that i can point to and say this i know for sure but here's the principle that i'm basing that thought off of if you are opening up your dreams to be influenced by outside sources and you are in a state where you can't control those outside sources well i only want the the sounds that i'm telling it to to be put in so that i have the dreams that i want to have yeah but how can you stop the other sounds you're asleep you can't actually affect that and and it doesn't guarantee that there's going to be a demon around but if you've opened up the door and the demon haptic happens to come around it becomes very easy to step in and do something it's like leaving your house wide open while you're not there it doesn't guarantee that a thief is going to come by and steal but if a thief happens to come by and notices that you're not there and that the house is open it's sure very easy for him to decide to do that and so we have to be aware of these realities because we don't want to open ourselves up for something that that may be not just unhelpful but actually might be dangerous so that would be my thoughts on that let's see i'm looking um looking at some of these comments that you guys have have put in somebody says um no to hypnosis it's occultism there is taken years for a friend of theirs to get free because they underwent hypnosis for smoking and he's so easily controlled yeah because once you open yourself up to that arena you've opened yourself up to that arena you don't see the fruit of the spirit is self-control if you have the spirit you have self-control that doesn't mean that it's going to be easy to do what we should do but it means that we can sometimes there's there's a fight sometimes we have to we have to develop strength we have to resist temptation sometimes to the point of blood the writer of hebrews talks about like there there's it's it's not just a oh it's super easy because i'm a christian sometimes there's there's a fight to resist temptation but we can and we've been given self-control we have not been given other control god does not control us because he's not looking for slaves if he was looking for slaves we wouldn't have all the trouble that we have in this world that there wouldn't be people doing the things that they're doing there wouldn't be the wars there wouldn't be the issues we wouldn't have fallen in the first place if he just wanted slaves because he could have had slaves he could have programmed adam and eve to do exactly what he wanted and not to have any freedom to to make a choice but that's not what happened um so we have to realize that when we open ourselves up to something for somebody else to control us we've let go of that gift of the spirit of self-control and we have self-control and so we can be free because of what god has given us so we don't have to give ourselves into these other things so if that is the wrong way to go about it what's the right way to go about it how do you have the dreams that you want to have now to some extent we don't have control of the dreams because we we can ask god to talk about something but we can't make him talk about it so you can ask but you can't force so that that's one of the one of the key things that that i want to i want to start with but there is a way to prepare ourselves to have more dreams from god and it is never a problem to ask god to speak to us about the things that we want to hear i've had i know of a number of people that have asked god for specific god would you show me this would you teach me this and they got the answer that they wanted and specifically in dreams now i know a number of people that have asked that and they didn't i know i've asked a number of times that god would speak to me specifically about something in a dream and i didn't get a dream that was talking about that but there's has been times when i have so how can we open ourselves up to have more dreams from god here's here's a couple things that will be helpful one go to sleep in peace pay attention to what kind of stimulus that you're allowing because if this is the first level of sleep and and you can suggest dreams through audio signals then having a tv on while you're sleeping can affect and influence your dreams now if it's christian tv and it's something that you trust you preaching worship etc that that is one thing but just having the tv on while you sleep can be a very dangerous thing when it comes to your dreams it can either suppress your dreams or it can cause you to have more soul dreams more dark dreams dreaming about the things that are actually going on it's not from god it just happens to be because you're getting this audio sensation so go to sleep in peace if it's possible have no music or have very specific music that is that is going to feed your spirit now personally i prefer when i'm sleeping if i have music on my wife doesn't like any sound whatsoever so we we sleep with nothing but sometimes when i travel i like to have a little something and i will put on some type of a worship album that has no words there there's a guy by the name of john belt he he does a number of kind of soaking meditative music one of his cds is called prophetic ocean and so i'll pull that up on itunes and i will listen to that i love that there's a guy by the name of robert winfield and he's got an album called no sleep for dreamers now he's got a couple of albums that are out there but that's the one that i found the most helpful for dreaming actually i found that because john paul suggested he met robert winfield and he was explaining to john paul how he'd ask the lord specifically to give him the sounds that would awaken lucid dreaming in spirit-filled believers and so it's just kind of what i i call soundscapes it's not even i mean it's music but it's it's more what i would call soundscapes it's not really songs it just kind of sounds like a an auditory atmosphere it's it's very interesting very cool and i just put it on softly while i'm sleeping sometimes i'll use the imcd john paul's imcd where he is going through the names of god but i find that that one gets my spirit so stirred up that sometimes it's hard for me to sleep while that's going on because i'm trying to meditate on these names and it's not very easy for me to stay asleep so i don't get into a very deep sleep a lot of times when that's playing so you you find something going to sleep in peace what was the last thing that you that you put into your mind that you put into your heart i'll catch myself sometimes i'm at night and i'm just kind of looking around and i'm you know kind of browsing in youtube watching this video looking at this comedian or watching the news or something like that but when it's time for sleep i always try to do something so that the last thing in my brain when i'm going to sleep is meditating i'm either going over a scripture that i memorized i listen to something and worship i read a chapter of the bible something to bring my focus back into that place so that my heart and my spirit is prepared to meet with god in my sleep so i i would suggest something along those lines and and going to sleep and then as you're going to sleep begin to ask god to speak to you in your dreams and if there's something specific begin to pray about that particular thing whatever it is maybe it's about a work a choice that you need to make whether you're going to take this promotion or not take this promotion move to this other city for a job or not move to this other city or maybe it's a a ministry related thing whether you should do this or or or take this opportunity or take this position or not take this person a relationship those kind of decisions that we really want god to speak into begin to pray about those things and ask god what he would say and begin to open yourself up and ask the lord to make you willing to hear anything that he would have to say and as you do this let this be what what's in your mind what's going over in your mind as you go to sleep and it just prepares you to hear from god and focuses your spirit focuses your mind on this issue so that when he speaks about that thing you're more likely to hear here's another thing ask god to wake you up when you have a dream and it's been found that everybody dreams while they sleep not everybody remembers it some of you and i don't know how many times i've had somebody say well i don't ever remember having a dream everybody dreams and you know some of the sleep studies they've done if if you never dream it actually your brain will go insane you break your brain cannot handle not dreaming you you need dreams to be able to stay sane that's how god created us so everybody dreams but not everybody remembers them people will remember their dreams more often when they wake up from a dream instead of waking up slowly so if you're in stage four and and then you you have a dream if you wake up right from that dream you're more likely to remember it the first level of sleep um hype nagia boy i probably should figure out the right way to pronounce that word but it's it's kind of fun saying it hypenaga hypnagogia anyways if you wake up from that place again you're more likely to remember your dream if you wake up right when you have it so begin to ask the lord lord would you wake me up when i have a dream and then make the decision that you're going to write it down even if you're tired and i find i i i've taught this for for probably 15 years i've really i've been teaching this i've known it for for longer than that um but still i will find myself i'm just so tired i wake up from a dream and i'm like i don't want to wake up enough to actually write it down and i'm laying there arguing with myself and then i'm waking up the next day and i can't remember the dream that i had the night before but what happens is often if i do that it'll be a couple weeks before i start having dreams again because i haven't valued it i haven't given it value and and if i'm not valuing it see what you have more will be given but he who does not have even what he has will be taken away from him it's just the way the kingdom works and so not valuing those things causes us to have less of them so write them down decide you're going to write them down and actually write them down when you have them and then actually ask the lord what your dreams mean see the more you focus on them the more attention you give to them you're valuing the little that you have and if you value the little that you have more will be given if you're not faithful with the little that you have more is not going to be given it's that's just the way the kingdom works and so we need to learn how to be faithful with the little that we have even if oh it feels like it's such a small thing but we're faithful with that little and then we start to have more so pay attention to those things and and as you do you will find yourself having more and more dreams and i will periodically i don't do this every single night though i've had seasons where i've done this every single night i will just pray a prayer of consecration for my sleep and and it's basically like this lord i just surrender my spirit to you as i sleep and i give you permission to do anything that you want to do with my spirit as i sleep show me speak to me use me whatever you want to do i give you permission and then i just i go to sleep with that with that prayer so i'm surrendering myself to him and giving him because your spirit doesn't sleep even though your body is asleep but we're not often aware of what our spirit is doing and sometimes our spirit is is so trapped because we haven't taught it how to be free that very little happens to our spirit but as we begin to grow our spirit and grow our spirit surrender and response to the spirit of the lord we find ourselves having more and more experiences that happen so all right just looking at some of your comments here um what's more helpful writing or recording your dreams charity charities robinson's asking that well it depends which one is going to help you remember your dream i i tried for for a while i thought man it would be so much easier if i could just speak my dream instead of getting up to write it down and i tried to do that and i found the next day i couldn't understand it i had this dream i mean that that that recording was not very good and i had no idea what i actually dreamt so i found for me that was not really helpful what i do is i actually i write it right on my ipad i use evernote i use the free version it's very easy uh i i write down what the day is i put dream i put the date and then i title the dream that's the title of every single dream and then i write out the dream what i find helpful with that is you can search by keywords so i can find every dream that has my wife in it i can have every dream on paul was in every dream that streams was in or different situations things that i know if i'm trying to find out what has god been saying about this i can go back and i can find those as themes and then i can just go back for time periods i can look at every every dream that i had in july of 2016 or in august of 2018 whatever period of time that i want to look for i can just easily go and look through all those dreams from that period of time and i find that very helpful because i don't always understand my dreams when i have them there are some dreams that i understand i get them but there's other dreams that i write them down but i do not know what they mean and so those i'll i'll sometimes i'll go back to them a couple of times try to figure out and if i don't figure it out a lot of times it's later i'll figure it out because maybe i'll have something new that happens i start a new aspect of the ministry or i move into a new area or i develop another a different relationship and suddenly that dream starts to make sense from the new information that i'm in and so i love going back especially when i major life changes going back and looking at the dreams that i've been having in the 12 months or the 18 months before then because they'll show me themes and and most often they're telling me things that i'm going to be doing in the season and i'm being prepared for them before the season but i couldn't understand it because the season wasn't there so i didn't have the grid that those things fit into but once i have the grid then they fit into them so i don't know that either of them is better as long as you can remember the dream when you go back to the recording whether it's an audio recording or whether you've written it down whatever that is as long as you have a record of what what you actually dream that that's what really matters uh it is often helpful to write out dreams when you're trying to understand them so if you don't get an immediate sense of what they mean it can be helpful to write them out because you'll start to see themes a little bit better maybe the flow of the dream will open up diagramming dreams we teach a lot about how to diagram dreams if you've never watched our dream lab episodes we diagram almost all of the dreams that we do as part of a dream lab just to show you how to do that that that kind of thing can be very helpful in the interpretive process so for the interpretive process i would suggest writing it down in some way but just to remember it whatever helps you remember it that that's what's most important okay somebody's saying the key words can be very helpful writing down dreams yes it is wonderful well i'm going to re i'm going to look at a couple more of these comments and and just comment on these but why don't we go ahead and open it up if you have a short dream now we're on youtube as far as the comments are so if you're on our facebook channel you're going to want to come over to the youtube channel so that you're able to put in your comments because we're not going to see the dreams that you put on on facebook we won't see those written out until after the this is over but if you put them on here we're going to try to at least get to a few of these and see how many we can go through and then we will we will look at that so let's see amanda let's see amanda pm story time what happens if you hear tunes like in a rhythm or sequence when you lay down to sleep it's clear through my white noise maker and husband cannot hear it even when it's off but it's only at night so you're hearing it not in the natural but you're hearing it spiritually while this is going on um there is this this phase it's before you even go to sleep so it's not really one of the stages of dreams but we call it the twilight and it's that kind of half waking half sleeping where you're starting to fall asleep but you're not completely asleep but you're also not completely awake or you're waking up if you wake up slowly when you wake up to an alarm you don't wake up slowly but with if you wake up slowly and you're you're kind of awake but you're kind of asleep that that place called twilight seems to be a very rich time for revelation and so that is people will hear sounds they'll see pictures sometimes they're random sometimes they have meaning sometimes it's picking up what's going on in the spiritual atmosphere it's kind of like tuning in to a radio station and you're picking up a bunch of stations and you're just hearing a lot of different things and you've got to kind of dial in to what god is saying sometimes it's just letting you know that your spiritual ears are open and i think for you i think that that's that that's part of it is you have a spiritual gift for music and i don't know that that means you actually play music but you have a spiritual gift for music and that that part of your spirit is awakened and is being trained even as you're going to sleep and and that that that's part of what you're picking up is these kind of these sounds these these rhythms these cadences that are there in the spirit that you're able to recognize and pick up um and this is i mean it's related to that but it's not that exact thing but i bet that you would find a lot of benefit from singing in tongues if you've not done that just even in your quiet time just spinning to the lord just start to let little songs and little rhythms come out as you're speaking in tongues singing in tongues to yourself and it'll open something up in the spirit and and i have a feeling that you're going to find that that is a doorway to to deeper realms of revelation when you need to to hear from the lord for an answer for ministry um that that's going to be one of the keys that's going to really help you okay so josephine josephine said my mother dreamt that she entered a place with many doors she tried entering them but was not allowed there were guards at each entrance i could enter all the doors without being stopped by then she passed on by them she passed on all right so your mom had a dream you and her in the dream and she's in this place where all these doors and she keeps on trying to open the doors but she's not allowed to because the guards but you're able to so while you're still in the dream you're able to so she passes on that door but then you're able to get to that door and have access to it well um i i i wonder if this is just if it's a talking about like an inheritance that she's recognizing you had that there's opportunities there's things that she tried that didn't work out things that she wanted to see happen that didn't happen that you're going to be able to see you're going to be able to accomplish and she was given this dream one to to have courage to believe that you're going to be able to um and two to to encourage you to try things even things that she tried and they didn't work or she wasn't able to see that but because you're going to be able to see that so i feel like that is an encouragement for you through her and for her for you as well that's fun brenda seals brenda you said i was taking a shower in my living room i watched the water run into a drain cut in the carpet i thought it was so odd and then someone opened the front door so you're taking a shower in your living room the water is running into this hole that's cut in the carpet that's a drain and you're thinking how weird it is and somebody opens the front door and that's your dream well showers often talk about um having things taken off of us so that we get in we get into the dirt of the world just walking through life stuff kind of gets on us and showers takes that stuff off of us it says in ephesians chapter 5 that jesus washes us with the water of his word and he removes spot and blemish so that we would be blameless as we should be and so this is that process that that god is removing things by the washing of his word by by truth he's removing things that have gotten on us but this is about your living room it's not in the bathroom it's not in a hidden place this this is actually in the social arena this is a family um the the living room is kind of where you would you're just doing life and usually the living room is where if you have guests they're going to come over so it can talk about this the social aspect of your life what's visible what's seen and god is preparing you because there's a lot more relationships that are going to be coming into your life and so there's some stuff some relational stuff that god is cleansing in your life right now with spiritual truth because it's preparation for the relationships that are coming so i tried to walk you clear through the process of how i got that not just what it means because i really want to help you guys to understand how you get something how you understand what a dream means in that and so thinking through all those bits and those pieces but then you're asking the lord well what specifically because generally when you're giving somebody an interpretation you don't walk through the whole process like that you just tell them what it means you know god's dealing with some social issues and and cleansing some stuff in your life and preparing you for new relationships that are coming like that's the interpretation but you want to be able to walk through that process to think how did you get there how can i get there so that you can learn and grow okay shelly shelley you said this i went to a korean restaurant to order spicy rice cakes and noodle soup the clerk and a student were surprised to see me order in korean and the clerk was relieved that i did so a korean restaurant so this is a different culture um it's it's it's not the expected because i mean if they're not expecting you to speak in korean i'm assuming that you're not korean because otherwise it wouldn't have been such a surprise now obviously i can't quite see your picture it's very small so i can't tell that but i think that's a pretty safe assumption so you know food often will talk about teaching spiritual food spiritual nourishment the writer of hebrews says that you should be eating meat but but you're still on on milk paul says that in another place so a couple different places the scripture talks about teaching receiving spiritual truths as being spiritual nourishment and so this is about receiving spiritual nourishment from a different culture than than what you've been raised in than what you are but you understand the culture well enough that you're able to engage as it is and it's going to be surprising to people in that culture that you understand it as well as you do now i'm not sure if this is actually about another nation as much as it is about a spiritual culture as i think that god has is going to be taking you into a different spiritual culture now that could be a different church a different denomination or just maybe another church that has a slightly different culture than the culture that you grew up in that you're familiar with and you're going to be receiving from them and you actually know what it is that you're supposed to receive from them you you knew exactly what you wanted to order but you understand that culture well enough that you're going to speak their language and it's going to be surprising to them how how familiar how comfortable you are in that culture so that's fun very fun joy joy p i keep having a dream about twins i'm with twins or the person's name means twins or someone who is a twin will call me one dream i watch my husband propose to a person who is a twin so there's something about two of the same thing they're different and yet they're the same there there's similarities and yet there's a different thing so that that the idea of a twin um it's two very similar they come from the same place they come from the same time from the same moment they they were formed together formulated together and yet they are distinct so it could be about two two new aspects of work um could be two ministries two things that are coming together there's something about this too the the something that is doubled that is uh more than one m it could be double anointing but i think that that feels like a little bit of a stretch um that feels like a little bit of a stretch to me so i don't know that i would go there but there's something of that that's being brought to you and being brought to your family your husband is proposing to a twin which means that there's a a a depth of relationship or covenant to this thing that you guys are entering into and obviously you're there so um now i mean the question is it was there um was there jealousy was this a negative thing or in the dream did you just kind of feel like oh well this is you know of course he's proposing um because that can mean very different things that could let you know if this was insecurities that come up but you're we're talking about this pattern of twins and multiple different things it doesn't feel like that it feels like it's more of that it's something for you both that you're both going to step into and there's two different things that are very similar that you're going to be involved in now and then the whole question is what's the interaction so if you're having twins you're birthing two things that are very similar and yet distinct um if you're marrying one twin um does the other twin come along uh that that would be a question is it one you're you're only supposed to marry one of them but the other one is you're you know you know but you're not actually going to marry so it's letting you know an emphasis um is it i mean so the context of the dream what's happening in the dream will help you to understand a little bit more what to do with that so many different dreams you've got a lot of different contexts and but you can start to just think through in that way and it'll probably help to clarify that some more so let's see christine taylor i dreamed i was looking for a lost little girl during a fire i prayed quietly and began to raise up high as i ascended two others tried to hold on but i knew it wasn't safe for them so you're looking for this lost little girl there's a fire going on trying to find her and so as you're looking you start to to pray and as you pray you start to lift up for perspective and two other people are trying to hold on to you but you knew that it wasn't safe for them so your heart to help those that are going through difficult situations is deepening your life of prayer which is going to cause you to to to increase in spiritual activity and not everybody that's around you is ready for that level of spiritual activity but you're ready for it you're prepared for it and you're stepping into it so your heart of compassion you're looking for a lost little girl that's for those that are going through difficult situations lost in a fire right so that's the difficult situation the destructive situation you pray and you lift up that's the increase in spiritual activity but the two people the people that are trying to hold on to you to get lifted up with you it's not safe for them because they need to do it for themselves not not hold on to what you're doing they need to have their own life and develop their own life to to go into the things of the spirit so that's fun that's that's a good dream let's see martha martha rakuwin rakuan i'm not sure the right way of pronouncing that i apologize if i slaughtered your name uh martha you you wrote i was in a living room with my apostle a lady and a chinese senator um i don't know him she mentioned that it was windy and pointed it out to him i was just observing them so you're in the place of observing which says that this is more about the other person than about you this this is showing you that that your your apostle is actually going to be coming into places where they're going to point out spiritual activity to those in governmental arena so they're they're going to start to have interactions with people in government in politics and oh it's really windy so pointing out spiritual activity i'm helping to see what's going on spiritually to those that are in the political arena so that that's encouraging now because you're observing it's it's an intercession dream so this is the way that you can be praying for her that that she would have these opportunities that she would step into these opportunities but you want to wait until the lord tells you that you're supposed to tell her unless you're in a role already where you have the relationship with her that you're sharing revelation with her on a regular basis and that's a norm maybe you're an intercessor or maybe you've been asked to pray or you've been asked hey if you ever get something make sure that you let me know um then then you you kind of you're probably more default to sharing but unless you're in that place you're going to default to not sharing and to to using that as a place of prayer and if the lord shows you to tell her then you do but wait until you have that what's the word that release from the lord that's a good way of saying it we talk a lot in different places about knowing when to give and when not to give revelation actually the the class that i was teaching for our students in hong kong last week on practical prophetic training we talk a lot about navigating the prophetic and and and when to share what to share how to share the different functions and and what that looks like so um there's a lot of resources that can help you to navigate that but one of the one of the important things to remember is just because you have revelation about something does not mean that you're supposed to tell people the revelation that you have having it and and when you're supposed to share are two different things two different issues okay jovi jovi minozzi menoza excuse me that's an a not an e um i was in our dining area with five people that i don't recognize i went to our bedroom someone knocked and the man i don't recognize handed me two bundles of money and he said give it to your mother-in-law so you're in a dining room five people that you don't really know you head off into the bedroom when you get into the bedroom a guy that you don't know knocks on the door and he handles you two bundles of money and says give this to your mother-in-law so there's some kind of relationship dining room um you you have tables so you're sitting around the table together so there's there's social there's relationship um the question that i have were you eating if you were eating in the dining room or everybody was eating in the dining room then it's going to have it may be a little bit more about receiving spiritual nourishment um this could be about you know being in a place where there's teaching going on where there's teaching happening but there's some type of spiritual growth in in in an inter re relationship interconnectedness maybe i don't need to say enter but that that that idea of relating to others other people being around and not necessarily people that you know very well but you're you're in that place with them but you recognize the need for rest and the need to be alone the place of the bedroom you know when you've got people over at the house that's kind of where you go this is your alone time i i just need some space and so there's a place to pull aside to be with the lord that time of intimacy that time of rest but as you do that you're going to be given favor not just for yourself but for those that are around you so your mother-in-law why was it your mother-in-law and not your mother why was it your mother-in-law and not your wife these are the questions you asked just kind of dial in the meaning of that because there's something specific about the mother-in-law could it be talking about church relationships sometimes mother-in-law sometimes parents spouses parents would talk about church relationships that is possible it could be talking about that family line it's not about your family line um if you're giving money to your mother-in-law you're giving favor to your mother-in-law so let's put it all together with some of those pieces you're in a place where you are learning and you're growing and you're with people not everybody is necessarily people that you know right now so it's not really about the people that you're with but you're with people you recognize the need to to pull aside to be alone to rest and and to be intimate with the lord and when you do so someone begins to release favor to you and the favor that you receive you're supposed to be received you're supposed to be giving to other people it feels like there's there's resources spiritual resources that you're going to be given that you're going to get to give to your wife's family that's going to bring about a shift in that relationship spiritual resources money that's being given two bundles of money and you get to share it with your wife's family and they're going to be affected by that i think that that's it's kind of more literal the mother-in-law is a little bit more literal but i think it might represent that whole family but specifically her but i think it might actually represent your your wife's nuclear family um her that and and what that would represent so i'm running out of words on how to say that so i guess i've said it as much as i need to say hopefully that's helpful for you and that makes some sense well hey guys we are going to be this saturday we're going to be going live we we do our monthly gathering every month if you are anywhere near dallas fort worth we we get together we worship together we see what the lord wants to do this saturday we actually have my friend lisa matt's check she is one of our streams teachers she's been around streams for a very long time she was actually one of the people that helped to train me on dream interpretation so when i was learning and i was growing she would give me feedback on my interpretations she sent a lot of dreams back to me and said i think you missed this one you need to do a little bit better but i learned so much from her and from others that were around that that really helped me to grow so i'm excited she's going to be sharing i have no idea what she's going to be sharing about but if you tune in saturday night we'll be going live and actually if you have not
