spiritual insight that God Almighty has blessed me with.
As you read my blog, I have no reservations about sharing these spiritual insights with you free of charge. I am always reminded of the scripture that says, "Freely ye have received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8). My number one reason for sharing these revelations is that I discovered, a long time ago, that it is a lack of knowledge that causes us to fail in whatever we have failed in, in the past, or will fail in, in the future (Hosea 4:6, Isaiah 5:13).
Trust me when I say I have an indescribable passion for what I do. Teaching and bringing clear spiritual insight and understanding to my many followers is paramount to me.
The Danger of Sharing Your Dreams
In this teaching, I want to open your spiritual understanding to a reality many overlook: while you may dismiss your own dreams as you repeat them to others, that doesn't mean those listening dismiss them too. If someone is secretly jealous of you, or concealing hidden hatred toward you, the retelling of your dream could reveal your future to them. Armed with that knowledge, they can calculate ways to delay you and set obstacles and setbacks in your path.
Joseph's Dream and His Brothers' Reaction
The Bible tells us that when Joseph's brothers saw that their father loved Joseph more than he loved them, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him. Scripture goes on to say that Joseph had a dream and told it to his brothers, and after these dreams their hatred toward him intensified. Here is what Joseph revealed concerning one of his dreams:
"We were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf." (Genesis 37:7)
His brothers, who already hated him, understood his dream even though he didn't. Here is the interpretation his brothers gave:
"Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words." (Genesis 37:8)
What This Reveals About Enemies and Dreams
The spiritual principle I want you to zero in on from this passage is that Joseph was ignorant of the knowledge being revealed in his own dream. As a result, he inadvertently revealed to his haters, his brothers, knowledge that was meant only for him. This same chapter reveals that, because of the revelation he ignorantly released, his brothers set out to plot his demise.
Who is it that you could be revealing your dreams to, someone who fully understands the value and future implications of your dream, but secretly curses it and insists you discard it, all because you don't know their secret hatred and jealousy toward you?
The next revelation in this passage is that God will allow your enemies to see in you what you cannot see in yourself. Joseph's brothers, his true haters, saw his greatness through his dream, a future he seemingly was incapable of seeing in himself.
Why Your Success Threatens Certain People
I am sure it is now clear why your haters, those with more material possessions than you, in a better position than you, and far more connected than you, would hate you and do everything within their power to oppress you. It's simply because the dreams you've been revealing to them indicate that in the future you will be the head and not the tail, above only and not beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13).
Be careful who you reveal your dreams to.
