Dreams:
God speaks through dreams.
Acts 2: 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Jacob
Ge 31:10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
Ge 31:11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
Joseph
Ge 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Ge 37:6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Solomon
1Ki 3:5 In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
Jer 23:28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
Danial
Da 7:1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
I love a tradition I heard amongst the First Nations tribes. When an elder has a dream, they call a council of elders together, and he or she recites the dream, and they pray and discuss the interpretation of it. They have been doing this for many generations. God, the Creator, The Great Spirit, has been leading and guiding these people for centuries this way. In the tradition of the Cree people, I heard the story, of how, for many generations, elders dreamed of black robed priests that would bring them ‘the black book of God’ that would be the answer for their people.
In the fulness of time, God sent Jesuit missionaries, carrying Bibles to the Cree, the Huron, the Mohawk, the Iroquois confederacy, and now, they have the New Testament translated into their own tongues.
In the book: ‘Brucho’, we read of the God who would appear in the banana leaves. A dream and oral tradition passed down. When the Motilini saw the Bible, it was the sign of the God in the banana leaves, the pages looking to them, like a sheaf of banana leaves.
God speaks through dreams…but they must be correctly interpreted.
While dreams are generally given to us while we sleep, it is what we do when we are awake that is crucial. When the Creator of the universe, reveals things supernaturally to us, regarding the times and seasons that we live, walking out what He reveals can become the most exciting revelation the world has ever seen!
When He truly gives you a dream, and you implement it, eternity comes to earth through you!
Let’s Pray:
“Father God, speak to me through my dreams:
Grant me dreams to show me what You need me to know, discernement to know how to correctly interpret it, and implement it in Your way, in Your timing, in Your name I pray Lord Jesus, Amen”
