Dream Interpretation

well hello how's everybody doing today hope you are doing well i'm excited we get to do some dream interpretation today i'm looking forward to that as we are giving a few minutes for people to come on i want to and just encourage you share this video let people know about this we're going to uh having a lot of fun i always enjoy doing the dream interpretation i know many of you come on for dream interpretations and the last couple times we've done a live uh we've been doing some teaching i think we had our our friend aaron evans with us a few weeks ago and i did a little bit on the prophetic standards document that recently came out the last time we did a live so it's time to do dream interpretation again and it's uh yeah excited about it we've got a couple new things i'm going to be i'm really excited about it i'm going to be sharing some things as we're getting on um let's see we've got toronto canada is already on we've got florida that's on as you guys come on just let me know where you're at where you're coming from would love to love to see those comments we had uh mark dupont with us over this last weekend and i don't know if you had a chance to see the live video from our saturday night gathering we do a monthly gathering and every other month we'll have a guest in this last month it was marked upon and it was beautiful the the lord just moved in some astounding ways we had with people that had never encountered the power of god in the presence of god and the ways that they encountered him that night and were overwhelmed with what he did it was a it was a great time i i just encourage you to you can go back you can watch that we left it up on our youtube channel so if you are not on youtube if you're on one of the social media i know we put this up on our facebook channels as well um you can go right to our youtube channel and for those of you that are on our youtube channel make sure if you haven't already that you click that little subscribe button and then there's a little bell thing that asks for notifications it lets youtube know that you want to know when we post new videos when we're going live and when you ask for notifications you'll you'll get a little note you can ignore it if you want to but if you want to know about when we put up new stuff or when we're going live it's the best way to stay on track with that and you you'll be able to always see that it was matt i just i keep on thinking about this last weekend and all the stuff that god did it was a beautiful beautiful time then over the last couple days on monday and tuesday mark stayed around and we had an opportunity to go through and have a number of conversations we filmed them all and we're going to be putting them up right here on our youtube channel over the next few months it'll take us a little while we're going to do some editing we're trying to do a you know a nice video of these and me and mark just talk through the the prophetic protocols that him and john paul put together about 10 years ago about 10 years ago john paul had called a prophetic counsel together a prophetic roundtable if you will 70 leaders from all over the world came together and one of the things that came up was a concern a prophetic concern for the direction the trajectory of prophetic ministry and they after that meeting him and john paul mark dupont and john paul started having conversations and they put together some of the wisdom that they learned just between the two of them they had something like 80 or 90 years of ministry experience uh probably closer to 75 years i don't wanna i i'm pretty sure it's closer to 75 years of ministry experience between the two of them at that point in time and then they got together with john sanford and lauren sanford and james gall and bobby connor and really work through those protocols it's an extremely helpful document it's not intended to say hey this is what everybody has to do but it was intended to say here's the wisdom that we've learned and that group of people between them had almost 200 years of ministry experience when when they got together and here's the wisdom that we've learned from having ministered in prophetic ministry what we've learned from scripture what we believe the scriptural guidelines are and we want to give you these as a suggestion to help you to stay healthy and be more effective and mature in prophetic ministry those documents that that document those protocols are available on our website streamsministries.com under what we believe we have our statement of doctrine and we have those protocols so that you can take a look at them and and pray through them read through them it's something that i've decided just myself personally streams ministries we hold our ministry to those standards and do our best to live according to what's there is when you get wisdom that much wisdom that comes from that much experience it's really good to pay attention to it so that's that's a really helpful thing we're going to be putting out those videos i want to talk through those and and really what like we we have in the last you know six eight months in the church there's been a lot of conversation about the prophetic and and some concerns and some excitements there's been some good things there's been some bad things there's been some very public errors that have happened and there's been a lot of talk about it but the reality is we don't need something new to deal with a new issue the same principles that have been in scripture from the beginning as we understand them and as we live by them we're not going to have the issues that we've had and a lot of it is because we haven't listened to the wisdom that we've already been given so we want to make sure that that wisdom is available to people that you can see what those that have gone before understood from scripture and you know john paul jackson obviously john sanford both of them have passed away they were fathers in the prophetic movement and the wisdom that they carried is so helpful all right so we've got people from all over patricia hey patty how are you doing i see your comment good to have you we've got india we've got maryland we've got london trinidad and tobago south africa california amazing guys welcome bakersfield california i was just talking with a friend from bakersfield yesterday glad to have you here ontario california new york city guys welcome glad you're here we're going to get into some dream interpretation and cover a few of these dreams and then we'll we'll see where else we end up as we go through this live so let's start out with a little light of mine so little light of mine i had a dream an old man was guiding me through a garage sale i was attracted to an aqua colored table and wanted to buy it there were chairs stacked everywhere i spotted matching chairs he said the table was for me but he wouldn't sell me any chairs he said the table you need but you do not need chairs so in this dream you're in a garage sale and it seems like this old man is is hosting the garage sale and you're looking at these chairs and at this table aqua colored table and he says you can get the table but you can't get the chairs okay well i mean thinking about just just this the context table and chairs table is a place where you you come together you gather um but the chairs are the capacity to be able to rest in that and so i i'm sometimes it's i have a thought and i'm trying to figure out is that revelation or am i am i making a leap does it really fit the dream because when you're trying to understand dreams you want to make sure one that if you're saying this is the interpretation of the dream that what you're saying actually fits the dream like there there's a there's a pattern to metaphors and it's not a science you can get it all figured out and then define it clearly there's a relationship issue but there's also that that pattern will help you to recognize when the revelation that you're getting is actually based on the dream or when it is extra revelation that is maybe good for the person but not necessarily the interpretation of the dream which is why it's helpful to have some training on dream interpretation because i spent a lot of years thinking that i was interpreting dream i was just giving people prophetic words which was good but it just wasn't the meaning of the dreams so being able to separate those out so i'm trying to to kind of weigh that in my spirit while i'm talking and and and and get that one of the things that a table can mean is a place of relationship because you're you're coming together with other people you're you're able to communicate you're able to to communion this this thing of sharing bread or or sharing relationship um but the chairs are the ability to rest in that and what this dream is showing is that you're in a place where you're recognizing the value of relationship and you're willing to pay the price to go deeper in relationship deeper in community but right now you don't have the capacity to really rest in that and and so is that a good thing is that a negative thing uh it seems like there's the voice of wisdom that is saying well you're not getting the chairs yet you're getting the table and it feels like there's a a time thing this is not in the dream so this is this is what it seems like this is what i believe that that the that that i'm recognizing as a pattern from the lord uh that it's not about the it's not a negative thing as far as negative in that you you know you can't do relation you can't really rest in this right now but it's just a matter of right now it's about relationship you'll come to the place where you're able to sit where you're able to to rest in that more but right now instead of trying to figure out the second piece you're just going to get the first piece because that's the highlight and that sense of it being an aqua colored table aqua is talking about water this is about spiritual community and so you're probably and i think this is the application of this i think you're going to find yourself or you have found yourself in a spiritual community and you don't yet recognize what your place is where you're going to sit but you are part of that community and and that's where you're at right now so a long way to talk through that but one of the things that i really want to do is not just give the meaning of a dream but help you guys to be able to understand how did we get to that meaning so that you learn how to interpret your own dreams because we've already got dozens of dreams that have been put on here we probably wouldn't be able to get all the dreams that have already been put as comments if we spent the rest of the time just interpreting through those there's a lot more dreams than what we're able to do so if we can teach you how to interpret your own dreams then there will be a lot more one there will be a lot more people that are interpreting dreams but two you'll start to be able to recognize what your dreams mean so that you can respond to the lord which is our whole goal yeah so somebody said chairs or your seat or your place where you sit where where you find your place that's exactly it very good okay so esther esther you you put this in um i'm studying for an exam a former student close to my heart comes to me and says he is going on an off-roading school trip downtown and a hummer and asked if i could take a pic of him a picture of him in the hummer all right so you're studying for an exam and a former student of yours comes says they're going to be going and doing this thing and wants you to commemorate it for them so there's a there's an advancement you're being prepared for an advancement taking an exam do you understand what you learned in the previous season and understanding the ways of god that's always because you're you've you've you've gotten what you need and now you're finding out if you've really received it and you're able to do something with it and so you you're you're learning you're still growing and you're you're in a test right now and part of that has to do with how you've helped those in the past people that you've sewn into your student somebody that you've sewn into and help them to prepare for the the path that's in front of them it's not the the normal easy on the road path it's off the road it's going to take a little bit more difficult it's a little bit more difficult it's going to take a little bit more care take special equipment and you have people that you've sewn into that are stepping out into new things but they want to hold on to the memory of what they've received from you and so they're looking to you to help them to be able to do that taking a picture of them in the hummer remembering that they've been equipped for the path that's ahead of them so you've learned and you're equipped but part of that is recognizing how you helped others learn and helped others be equipped for the path that's ahead of them that is that's a good dream that is an encouraging dream okay let's take a look at this one so joanna you said a dirty bathroom i told my co-worker how are we going to do this and we have to leave to our other job she said we have an hour and i'm like no this is going to take at least half an a half a day we'll never get this done now i have no idea if this is a second comment kind of feels like it's starting in the middle of the dream uh i don't know but we'll go with what i can see um the the idea of a dirty bathroom and trying to figure out how to take care of it not having enough time to get it cleaned and ready to go on to the next thing that you have a requirement uh a a uh requirement um i my my mind just went blank that i can't i can't think of the word that is right there just outside of my mind we'll we'll see if it ever comes back while we're talking about it dirty bathroom says that there are issues to take care of but it's not a safe place to take care of the issues so this stream is basically saying that in your workplace you're recognizing some unhealthy relational dynamics and it's going to take time to deal with it it's not going to be a quick fix and some people are saying oh let's just let's just do it quick and move on and you're realizing no this is going to be a lot more than a quick fix this is going to take some effort to be able to heal to clean up these relational unhealthy relational dynamics that we're dealing with so that is um that's that's that dream okay let's see n m n m isn't that backwards isn't it supposed to be m n all right in him uh i'm in a car that's driving itself it's driving very fast and i'm laying down on the passenger seat and driver's seat i'm wearing white socks and i see my bicycle is hitched at the back of the car so the car is just going where it's going you're not doing anything you're just laying across the the front and you see that your bicycle is hitched to the back of it so cars usually it's talking about how you're getting from where you're at to where you're going could be about ministry it could be about a workplace some uh something that you're doing a role that you're playing that's getting you to the next place that you're supposed to be at and there's nothing in this dream that i can see well oh no this is about work or this is about ministry there's nothing in the dream that really has a clarity as to which one it is um but there it's it's just taking care of itself this situation this role that you're playing you don't have to take an active role in it you're finding it's moving forward without your activity and as it's moving forward you're able to just rest in that you're able to rest in it now the white sox is talking about righteousness this is a good thing it's not a negative thing so it's it's not saying oh you're you're being lazy you're not being active that that is not the intention so the white sox is a key because white usually talks about righteousness especially white clothing socks talks about what you're walking out or what you're doing so white shoes white socks white socks is more about being relaxed being comfortable white shoes would be more about outside so it's just another sign of being relaxed but this is a good thing so you're you're you're you're doing the right thing you're resting and what you had been doing in another season or your ability to do things in your own power is coming along so a bicycle would represent your own power your own activity getting you to where you're going so there's this contrast between being in a car versus being in a bicycle a car drives now this particular car is not you don't even have to to steer you don't even have to hit the gas it's doing all of it for yourself and it's a contrast with the bicycle that you have that takes effort right now you don't have to worry about that it's coming alongside and so it seems to be saying you recognize you're going to need this usually if you're bringing your bicycle it's because you're going to be riding your bicycle or so you haven't lost that and there will be another season where it's going to take effort but that's not the season that you're in the season you're in is resting and things are taking care of itself and it is okay for you to rest in the season it's it's white it's right and that is a good thing very fun let's see nekeisha nekeisha you said i'm in a plane with my mother and my sister and other people from my country i only knew where we were going when we got there and a sign said the democratic republic of congo airport security directed us so in a plane with my mother and sister and other people from your country but didn't know when you're going there but when you got there you realize you're going to the democratic republic of congo and the airport security directed us i'm trying to figure out what the the congo would represent specifically in a dream is this um is this literal is this saying that you're going to be taking a trip to uh this is there a missions trip or a business trip something where where your family and people that you are with now are are going to be going is it saying that your culture so people from your country your family would represent your culture is going to be affecting the congo in some way um is it saying that your culture is moving into something similar to what's going on in the congo um i mean there's a couple possibilities and i'm not feeling that that real landing of the holy spirit that says well this and not that so i can see all of those possibilities so lord we do ask for revelation we we want to know what is it that you are saying to nekeisha about this dream so basically nekeisha what what this is showing you is that you're recognizing that things are changing uh with people that are close to you with your family of around you you're recognizing a change and you don't understand what that change is yet you will recognize the change when you get there you're going to see the signs of what that change actually is and part of it does have to do i'm i'm still not 100 sure what the congo represents if it's talking about something that's going on politically or something that's going on spiritually but there's something about what's going on in the congo is where you guys are moving towards your culture your people the ones that you're with is moving towards so yeah grace on you let's see here annie annie you said i went to church with my parents the chairs were all facing backwards and we sat in the back row then i went to kids church they gave me and my brother each a bag of money 2 000 for him and 2 300 for me okay the chairs were all facing backwards now that's interesting now and and then my curiosity is the chairs are all facing backwards and we sat in the back row um facing backwards back row which would actually be in the front or what would have been the back row but they're all facing backwards i'm just going to say i mean just you know it says facing backwards back row so compared to the front that it was the back row that that's what it kind of it seems like or feels like um church is talking about your spiritual life the things that you're learning and the things that you're receiving and you're in a place where you're learning that it's not about what happens in the stage but it's actually about what you take out um say in the back rows going back out of the church you're facing out you're not facing in and and you you've been learning this lesson your family's been learning this lesson but you specifically have been recognizing the favor that god has given you um 20 and 23 i i don't have my bible with me right now i'm trying to remember psalm 20 if i remember i i thought the psalm 20 had something about some trust in horses some trust in chariots but we put our trust in the name of the lord and it's it's recognizing that our help is coming from god and that that's what psalm 20 represents and so your brother is being given favor to recognize that god is the victor that god is going to give success and give victory where you are are being given favor to recognize that god is your shepherd that he's going to care for you he's going to take care of you and even when things seem difficult he's going to be with you and he's not going to leave you that's psalm 23 so the message for you is psalm 23 the message for your brother is that that passage out of psalm 20 where it's talking about putting our trust in god not putting our trust and ability and strength in anything else but our hope is success is in god and so you're recognizing that that's what god is doing in your family it's not about what happens up front necessarily in the church it's about what you take out into life and you live and this is what god is giving your brother and giving you to take out and live out that is really exciting that's that is a lot of fun annie i hope that blesses you let's see a dare a dare you said i saw a large bird cage where a black crow was trying to escape i was hurriedly trying to push the bird back in and close the door the cage was also full of blankets and cans of beans okay so birds birds often represent some type of spiritual activity wings spirits often have wings angels even demonic spirits have been shown as wings in different pictures in scripture uh you know jesus talked about the birds of the air was the enemy that came and ate the seeds in matthew chapter 13 the parable of the four soils but the holy spirit clearly shows up as a dove so god uses the metaphor of birds both positive and negative but one of the clues that often gets used biblically is when something is a clean animal under the mosaic law what would be clean it tends to have a positive meaning and when it's unclean it tends to have a negative meaning so a crow is a carrion bird which is an unclean animal so one it's black which is is a negative sense but two because it's unclean there's also a negative sense and so what this dream is saying to you is you're recognizing demonic activity that has been uh been contained but you're realizing that it's trying to get out and affect things again and you've been struggling to keep it keep it contained now why blankets and why cans of beans blankets talk about comfort and beans talk about food or sustenance and so there there seems to be an issue that you're recognizing that while this thing is contained um we're called to destroy the works of the devil not just contain them and so there's there's some issues that have been kind of they've been kept contained but they've been made comfortable and and somebody's still feeding them and now they're trying to escape and affect things and you're realizing this so that that's what it's saying now let me give you a suggestion from understanding the ways of god in that is when you recognize what this issue is remove its comfort and remove its food because when when you recognize the the activity of the enemy we don't give it a comfortable place just to keep it contained we remove it completely we destroy it completely and so you want to contend for this thing to be completely gone not just contained but completely gone so that no longer affects you no longer affects your family or whatever the environment that it may be that it's related to so that that is what that dream is talking about okay let me see here is a nice short dream laniev said i dreamt i had a baby but pregnant again on my last couldn't walk properly so um you had a baby and you're recognizing you're pregnant again but it's so soon that the first baby isn't even walking uh regularly babies often talk about something new that you're bringing into the world could be a uh it could be a new habit it could be a new spiritual gift maybe a new activity a new ministry a new business that there's something new that god is birthing through you something that you need to care for something you take care of and and god has released something in your life and and it's there it's clear it's alive it's viable but you you haven't even figured out how to get it to be able to walk on its own and you're already recognizing that god is birthing something new in your life so he's already done something you're you're in this new thing that that has been released and you're still trying to figure out how to mature that and while you're figuring that out you're realizing that god has already started something new and there's something new that's growing within you that's going to be coming out soon so it sounds like a lot of work but this is this is something that god is doing so you're going to have the strength and the capacity to to be able to handle it okay bianca bianca you wrote this i'm in and apart in my apartment with two girls and there was a storm and an earthquake outside and i kept trying to shut and lock my door but it wouldn't close a big wind flew my door open and i kept saying come out but it wouldn't all right so your apartment's talking about your life and you've got other people that are in your life so other people in relationships that are also going through similar situations your other you two girls that were with you a storm and an earthquake these are both pictures of difficult time periods the storm is you know spiritual things that are getting shaken up an earthquake is usually talking about physical things that are getting shaken up but there are times of difficulty and you've been going through a difficult time period and you're trying to figure out how to stop what's going on outside in the world from affecting your own life you're trying to figure out how to get the closed door the door closed the closed door yeah the door closed and it says a big wind blew it open and wind is is the word for ruach or spirit and so this is talking about the spiritual force or or something spiritual that's blown this open and you're trying to get it out and so you're realizing that in the midst of the difficult situation that's going on that you have been struggling you've been working to not let it affect your life that there's also a spiritual dynamic that's making it difficult and you know how to deal with it you're rebuking it which is exactly how you handle that situation rebuke that when contend for this to be gone if you keep on asking it says ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you seek and keep on seeking and you will find knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened you continue to contend for this to be stopped and the door the access point in your life to be closed because you will have victory greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world don't give up don't stop keep going after it so awesome okay angela angela harris my husband and i were sleeping two people broke in and he went to check it out they were old friends dressed in black and they poisoned my husband so you know sleeping it's not a in there's there's a positive and a negative sense that i don't think this is the negative sense like i'm asleep on the job like you know i should be awake but i'm sleeping it's just talk about resting um in a season where you're you're you're not necessarily awake but what's going on is some old relational dynamics that the enemy inspired so they're old friends but they're dressed in black which says that that the soul was involved the enemy was involved and those relational dynamics that that they're they're finding or trying to find a way into your life and specifically to poison your husband to to weaken him um you know in uh i'm trying to remember which verse it is but in the new testament in the writings of paul it says to take care lest any root of bitterness spring up and defile many and the key to not being poisoned by the things of the past and friends of the past is through forgiveness now the dream just says that things of the past relational difficulties of the past are trying to poison your husband um but the wisdom of god says that there's most likely an area of forgiveness that will cause that not to be able to happen so fight for that forgiveness and hold on to that forgiveness and sometimes it's and you know i thought i'd forgiven but how do i know if i've really forgiven how do i access the grace of god forgive for for for forgiveness yeah i've got to say that slowly i'm going to trip over my tongue and one of the one of the things i would highly recommend is our friend rt kendall has a book called total forgiveness total forgiveness and you can get the book or if you prefer you look up on youtube rtkindle total forgiveness and you're going to find a number of different times that he's preached that message and you can watch it it's one of the best teachings on forgiveness that i've personally experienced and extremely helpful it's the the practicalities of how to forgive what forgiveness really looks like biblically and the signs to know that you actually have forgiven so beautiful beautiful resource that i would highly suggest for you um for your husband that that will help you in this situation well hey we're going to do we're going to do a couple more interpretations here in just a second but i wanted to i wanted to give you guys uh a little piece of news and then an invitation um just before we started we got in today our brand new uh prayer journal um that we've been working on this for a while and it looks like our internet is a little bit slow so yeah i think this is looking just a little bit but i actually put a picture of it up on the screen for you finally we have it in hand and this this prayer journal we took the the principles that we that me and john paul wrote in the art of praying the scriptures and created a journal that will help you to engage with the lord it will it will help you to recognize revelation engage with revelation and bring in that place of meditation specifically meditation on scripture and on things that god is doing and it's just got a series of questions i mean it's really hard to see and now it's right in front of my face but i'm here still um it's it's just a really helpful tool that's going to enhance your prayer life it's available on our website um we've got a whole link it goes with uh we've even got a package that has the art of praying the scriptures book that john paul and i wrote the study card that goes with it and then two different mp3s an mp3 of john paul teaching on art of praying the scriptures and an mp3 of me teaching on the art of praying the scriptures we both kind of bring out uh different nuances of that and and together it will give you a really good picture of what that might look like so i think that that will be helpful for some of you and before we go back into dream interpretation the other thing that i want to mention we've said this a couple times we now have the information available on our website is we are going to be doing a dream interpretation internship so this internship is going to be an opportunity for you if you've been dreaming and you want to learn about dreaming you can come to this internship you'll spend five days throughout the whole week here in the offices we we have different ones that are really good dream interpreters they're going to be helping to mentor you you can work through dreams and then they'll give you feedback on your interpretation you'll be interacting with the staff i'll be spending some time answering questions talking through dreams our prayer room is going to be be available you can spend some time in the prayer room interacting in in worship we're going to have some spiritual exercises where you get to do some prophetic exercises and we're actually talking with one of our team that's been doing outreach for a number of years in different settings about possibly taking those of you that are interested to a local place where you can practice interpreting dreams with people out on the streets so it's going to be very practical very help excuse me very practical very helpful will give you the tools that you need to to really grow and then what we're going to do is we're going to end that week with a weekend dream interpretation intensive so if you come to the internship the intensive is included in the internship but let's say you can't take a whole week off of work and come uh to be here you could come just for the saturday and come to the internship um to the in intensive excuse me the dream interpretation intensive and be able to go through that now both of these are intended for people that have already learned something about dream interpretation maybe you've taken the understanding dreams and visions course or you took streams academy module on interpreting dreams and visions one of those two resources it gives you the foundation to start interpreting dreams you can come and practice what you learned and get feedback and really grow if you haven't taken those courses these are not what you need it's not going to be helpful and so the the prerequisite to either of these is to having taken either of those two courses you could have taken them both and that's great but either of those two and we only have 20 spots for the internship because we want to make sure that we have plenty of time to to really mentor and engage everybody that's coming the intensive we're going to open up to 100 people so we'll be able to fill up our classroom for the intensive but for the internship it's going to be limited and we've already uh have six of those spots taken and we've got somebody that's coming over from germany to to be a part of that is working through uh some of the the travel arrangements right now and as long as everything works out they will be joining us so i encourage you if you want to do this make sure that you sign up right away here again this is the this is the link for the dream internship and so i'm going to leave that on the screen for just a second and then this is the link for the intensive uh we're putting those links into the comments so that you'll be able to find them as well and um it's really going to help you i learned so much when i spent some time with other interpreters when i first got on staff with streams up in new hampshire we would get together during our lunch breaks and a number of us would just sit around and interpret dreams together and and give each other feedback and i learned so much from people saying no that's not really what that dream means like that that there's some revelation there but the dream says this or or show me where that is in the dream i'd be like oh well it's it's not actually in the dream i grew so much from those times and then recognizing when i got the revelation and seeing the impact of that for the dreamer and it will really take you to the next level in your dream interpretation so i hope you're able to come and be a part of that and that is with that i'm going to come back and we're going to do a couple more dreams before we finish up um okay here is a very short dream short dreams can be fun and sometimes they can be harder but this one i think we can get tammy tammy you said i had an old friend gave me a baby to nurse so we've talked about babies babies are usually something new is something that that has been birthed now i mean it could be so many different things could be a somebody that you're discipling somebody that you're helping to mature it could be a new job could be a baby a new ministry could be a new baby uh one of the things that i've noticed is i'll start getting prophetic words about having babies or me and donna going to have babies and usually about nine months afterwards there's going to be a shift to our ministry um that happened about nine months before we moved up to new hampshire got on with streams it happened about nine months before we were given the church it happened about nine months before we stepped out of the church into uh itinerant ministry like i've just seen that pattern again and again that that is something that happens uh so i'm i'm not a hundred percent sure that this is a ministry but it feel i wonder if it is uh tammy would depend on your old friend so your old friend that gave you the baby what did they represent to you that particular that might help to dial it in if they were somebody that helped mentor you spiritually if they were somebody that was a part of a spiritual community as part of a church that sowed into you in some way or that you recognize as having a particular ministry or particular gifting that most likely is going to be a clue but it is somebody else's responsibility that you are helping to nurture so a baby not your baby it's somebody else's baby so you're not responsible responsible for it somebody else is responsible for it but you're gonna nurse it you're gonna help to nurture it and help it to to strengthen and grow and receive what it needs okay let's see katie katie russell you said i lost my shoes and i got lost in a canyon on my way home for a night out i lost my shoe not shoes i lost my shoe and then got lost in a canyon on my way out so shoe represents what what are you doing to get to where you're going so it could talk about um particular giftings or particular activities that are allowing you to move forward and losing your shoe could be losing that capacity and one of the one of the kind of specific piece of that is out of ephesians chapter 6 when it talks about the the weapons of our warfare and the armor of god it talks about the shoes being um our feet are shod with the readiness of the gospel of peace so it's the the the readiness to go and do something when you got your shoes on you're ready to go out and accomplish something so that's part of it um the gospel evangelism but the other piece is peace and this i actually it's often about the readiness to do something um but i'm i'm actually really believe that this is more for you this is more about peace um you haven't you lost a shoe not all your shoes so it's not like you don't have any peace but your level of peace is not there and you're walking through a difficult time period and you don't know how to get out of it now we mentioned earlier for another dream psalm chapter 23 but one of the passages in there says even if i walk through the valley of the shadow of death and that that picture is it's so dark it's you know that you can't see and so the idea is kind of like a canyon so if you were in a canyon it would be really dark you can't see anything and the idea of death is the lack of light getting hidden in darkness and so there's a connection there but says your rod and your staff comfort me they protect me they guide me and so your you're lost in a difficult time period so canyon represent a difficult time period where you can't really see not a lot of options you feel like like you're shut in you're like you're closed in and and you feel lost and you're losing peace now this is not a dream that god is telling you hey this is what's going on in your life this is one of those dreams that's just letting you know what's going on in your soul this is not god's perspective about it it's just telling you what's going on and so when you get a dream like this you always need to bring in well what's god's perspective about this god's not going to leave me god's not going to forsake me god's going to be with you with me god is my peace and beginning to press in god i feel lost i feel like i don't have any peace i don't know what to do i feel like my options have been cut off i don't have a lot of options god would you rescue me would you deliver me would your rod and your staff be with me would you walk with me in this time period and it's an invitation for you to cry out for the lord to come near in the season that you're finding yourself in so yay let's see here tsuto suto i had a dream having a vitiligo vitiligo skin on my face to the point where it affected my right eye i couldn't see the blackness on as somebody that's helping me i i am not familiar with that word whatsoever but i guess you know from what i'm hearing it's some type of a skin condition it's a pigmentation on the skin that discolors the skin okay and it's getting to the point where it affects the right eye i couldn't see the blackness on i couldn't see the blackness on the eye it's affected the right eye where you couldn't even see the the people or um the blackness so one of the things skin conditions um try not to step out too fast so give me just a second while i'm asking the lord what this where to go with this and seeing what lands um skin conditions are things that other people see when they look at you you see them as well and they mark you but it's really about how other people perceive this particularly for you is about what other people see and what other people perceive and it is affecting how you how you're seeing yourself to some extent but that that's the that's the point of this dream that there's been something that's going on um like a uh an issue that's been happening that's been affecting how other people see you how other people perceive you and it's getting to the point where it's starting to affect your vision and starting to affect how you see yourself so again it's this is just information this is not god saying this is what i'm doing and it's not god saying this is what's supposed to happen there are dreams of promises like that this is just letting you know what's going on so now you get to respond to the lord and you i'm gonna i'm gonna bring you to a story in the gospels and i know it's a different issue but um it's about a skin disease but this one was about leprosy there was a leper that came up to jesus he was socially he had been cast out obviously the fear of what was going to happen to that disease that disease could take your life at different levels of it um but it affected so many things and he comes to jesus and he's not even quite sure if he should even ask and so he you know his because he'd been rejected and hurt so many times he doesn't even have the faith to ask you know god would you please heal me he just says jesus if you want to you could make me clean do you actually want to like do you care what's going on in my life and jesus's in media i care i want to and he reaches out and touches this man and says be made clean thank you and he was healed at that very moment this is what we're asking god wants to come near to you there's been a stigma on you relationally it's affected things and it's starting to affect how you see yourself how you think about yourself in your vision for the future and god wants to come near and he wants to tell you i want to i want to be near to you i want to be close to you i want to make you clean and so i just release the expectation the hope and the faith for god's hand to come near to you and bring that healing and bring that freedom that you would experience it that you would feel it well guys this has been a lot of fun i i just i want to leave you with this invitation we would love for you to come to the internship come and be a part of this and we're going to be doing these videos again next week we'll be doing a little bit more of a teaching and we're going to come back do some more dream interpretation and uh another little fun piece of news that i just found out i just got yesterday but i haven't had a chance to look at it i've got the final manuscript for our dream elements book which is an alternative dream dictionary how to think about metaphor we finally are going to have the dream the dream book coming out we've been wanting to do this for a number of years i know john paul talked about it we've got another dream book that uh john paul started writing that i'm going to be finishing but that's going to be a little while before we get to that but this particular one is going to be all about different elements and you'll be able to use it uh to be able to look at well how do i think about you know skin or how do i think about people that i see in my dreams or or the different elements if you've seen any of the dream element videos that you did you've got an idea of where we're going and it's just going to be a great tool and so we i've got the manuscript back i've got to go through it and just make sure that it's saying what i intended for it to say that we didn't change too much from from what i said which i'm sure it's it's going to be good and then we're going to be getting it printed so it's probably about a month or so and that's going to be coming out that is super exciting hey guys thanks so much for joining us and we will see you again again if you haven't yet make sure you subscribe
