- Oftentimes, I look at dreams as
God's starting a conversation or continuing one.
And when we talk about hearing the voice of God,
there's always this uncertainty,
because many people believe that
maybe they don't dream that much
or they have a lot of pizza dreams
and you have this question, like,
"How do you know what's from God?
"How do you know what's a pizza dream?
"How do you know what's the enemy?"
And the truth is that you don't initially
and it's in the presence of God that you begin to decipher.
One of my favorite scriptures is in Proverbs
and it says that, "It is the glory of God
"to conceal a thing and it's the glory of kings
"to search it out."
So there is something about our spiritual DNA
that requires us to put information together
that God does not always give us this clear, sharp,
elaborate, understanding through dreams.
Because when we look at Jesus,
Jesus would speak in parables sometimes
and then He would take His inner circle
and because of their unique hunger explain to them
what the parable meant.
But the people that heard the parable
and were not following Jesus
because they wanted that intimacy with him,
it seemed that it was unfruitful.
And that is where a lot of people find this places of like,
what does that dream even mean?
But I've learned that when you bring every single thing
in the presence of God, that sometimes the most random,
just like this must have been bad food dream
has a message encoded in it.
And what happens with that too you know,
when we just honoring on that space,
honoring that place of being yielded
is that when God sees that, I see you being very faithful,
every night you put a journal by your bed,
every night you wake up in the morning
and the first thing you do is to tap into
what did I dream about?
One of the things that fights against us,
because the funny thing is that
many of us actually do dream, but we forget the dream
and we forget the dream because that dream was planted
in a spiritual place.
But when we wake up, the first thing we do in the morning,
we go on social media, we go to the kitchen, we make coffee.
So now the flesh is so activated that your spirit is asleep
and so that's why a lot of times, for many people,
when they're praying or worshiping, they're like,
"Oh my gosh, I had a dream."
But when we wake up it's about honoring that space.
Look at your...
Just what we said, about sleeping.
It's a you that space look at that moment as God,
this is Holy ground.
When I'm going to bed,
even in those moments of sleeping,
I wanna have You in my head,
I want You to speak to me and that when you wake up,
don't touch your phone,
the first thing you should honor God
with the start of your day, go and worship, go in prayer,
because what was planted in you was spiritual
and it will be awakened through you engaging your spirit.
And so there are times that God would say, you know what,
what I need to tell you is so critical
that I'm just gonna bother you with it.
But the truth is when we look at how God speaks,
when we look at how Jesus engaged with people,
there were moments that Jesus would say it like it is
and there were moments that Jesus was speaking parables.
And so it's up to us going back to that scripture that
it is the glory of kings to search out a matter,
God, what does this mean?
What is this?
And in that consistency, in that submission,
in that childlike space of not being too quick to conclude
this did not mean anything,
in that space all of a sudden God knows
this is further ground, this is a further place
that I can speak to you, this is something,
this is a vehicle I can use for you.
And so just for many people who feel like God,
just speak to me, speak to me,
you can begin to see your dreams
to see when you go to bed as a Holy ground,
go to bed and worship and with the expectation,
have a journal, open it up and say, God, You love me,
You wanna speak to me.
I'm going to bed right now and I just believe that
You would just open up your words to me
and no matter what that dream is,
no matter how random it is,
sometimes a dream that seems random and crazy
is just God's invitation of saying,
"I wanna start a conversation with you,
"would you continue?"
