Dreams Revealing The Spirit Of Poverty

Dreams Revealing The Spirit Of Poverty Throughout my interactions with numerous individuals, a recurring concern that arises is their inability to comprehend why their diligently acquired possessions tend to elude them. Often, these individuals approach me with a plea to offer up prayers on their behalf, requesting that they be bestowed with financial abundance and liberty. Before I go into today's teaching, I want you to know that experiencing financial losses does not necessarily mean you need a miraculous economic intervention. Instead, the root of your problem may lie that you are under attack from the spirit of poverty. This spirit is responsible for sabotaging your spiritual blessings, preventing them from manifesting as physical blessings. It is not that God has not blessed you; instead, you may be unaware of the presence of this spirit that is consuming your spiritual blessings and hindering your physical blessings. According to scripture, God has already blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places (Ephesians 1:3). Everything is already in place to succeed in all areas of our lives, including our finances. Satan and his demons are spirits who understand spiritual laws and know that the spirit realm is the origin of all things. Therefore, if they can disrupt or misplace your spiritual blessings, it will result in physical losses. Specific dreams indicate you are under attack from the spirit of poverty. These dreams reveal how the enemy is stealing from you spiritually, leading to real-life financial losses. If you often dream of walking barefoot or wearing worn-out clothing or shoes, it could signify a spiritual attack from the spirit of poverty. Additionally, dreams, where you or others are constantly begging or seeking financial assistance could indicate that poverty has infiltrated all areas of your life. I'd like you to please take note of these dreams, as they may reveal more profound issues. Dreams, where you are shopping or spending money lavishly, indicate that this spirit influences you to spend your money foolishly and wastefully. The consequences of such dreams can be seen when a person struggles to account for their spending and has nothing to show for their transactions. Some dreams may appear promising on the surface but, when analyzed spiritually, reveal that the enemy is robbing you of your financial blessings and causing economic losses. For example, dreams of owning luxury items like private jets, luxury cars, or mansions, especially when financially struggling. It may seem like a sign of impending wealth. However, these dreams indicate that the enemy is influencing you to spend beyond your means, leading to financial difficulties and obligations that prevent you from enjoying any increase in your future finances. Dreams of selling your possessions or finding strangers in your home. In that case, it may be an impending financial ruin, such as foreclosure or the loss of valuable assets that would be difficult to recover from financially where you cannot access a bank or when the bank is closed, symbolizing financial blockages and restrictions. The manifestation of such dreams would be when people owe you money but cannot pay, or you cannot collect on a financial settlement or judgment. If you dream of losing money from your wallet, purse, or bag, or if you hide money in a dream and it goes missing when you try to retrieve it, it indicates that the spirit of poverty is involved in projects that will not yield any returns. Missing money in dreams signifies that this spirit is stealing your spiritual and financial blessings, preventing them from manifesting in your life. Dreams, where your finances are withheld or delayed, signify a delay in your real-life finances. For example, suppose you dream of being at an ATM machine and it malfunctions, or the power goes out when you try to withdraw money. In that case, it indicates that the spirit of poverty is delaying or hindering your spiritual finances, which will result in financial losses if not addressed. Dreams of rats, cockroaches, and missing properties also indicate the presence of the spirit of poverty in your life. Dreams where money is stolen, or you find yourself picking up cash, coins, silver, or gold suggest the influence of a pauper spirit supervised by a ruling spirit of poverty. If someone gives you money in a dream, be cautious and discerning. While some dreams of receiving money may indicate a genuine financial increase, others can be deceptive. If the person giving you money is someone you do not know or is an enemy in reality, it is an evil dream, and the money represents cursed finances. Similarly, if the money is old, dirty, torn, or a mixture of foreign currency, it signifies confusion and disorder in your finances. These dreams require immediate spiritual resistance and cancellation upon waking. Suppose you experience repetitive dreams related to these financial losses. In that case, it is essential to engage in fasting, as led by the Holy Spirit, and pray with relevant scriptures to break the curse of poverty over your life. Scriptures such as Philippians 4:19, Psalm 115:14, and Deuteronomy 28:12 can be used to declare God's provision and blessings in your finances. Based on spiritual laws, the spirit of poverty can only access your life through a covenant. Unfortunately, most folks are of these evil agreements. Therefore, renouncing and revoking any evil demonic covenants in your life, whether generational curses or established through dreams, is crucial. Ask God to reinstate His original plan for your life, particularly in your finances, in the name of Jesus Christ. It is crucial to keep in mind that the meaning of dream symbols can be influenced by factors such as one's cultural background, profession, lifestyle, and religion. Therefore, relying solely on the Holy Spirit's guidance and direction is essential when interpreting them.

The Thermostat of The Ungrateful

Ungrateful people can be extraordinary and difficult to understand. If you have interacted with such individuals, you may have noticed that they have an overwhelming desire for more without showing appreciation for what they already have.

I have titled this lesson "The Thermostat of The Ungrateful." I chose this title because there is a clear connection between a thermostat and the mentality of an ungrateful individual. A thermostat is a regulating device that regulates the air temperature in any air-controlled environment. If the thermostat is broken, the air conditioning system loses its ability to control the air in that environment.

Before I proceed further, I want to be clear that there is a big difference between being ungrateful and simply not expressing gratitude. People have different ways of communicating their appreciation, which may differ from how we would express gratitude. Of course, this is acceptable because we are all different. However, an ungrateful person takes things for granted and possesses an almost demonic sense of entitlement. They are intoxicated with selfishness, negativity, chronic complaining, and always critical of others.

Let's return to the comparison between a thermostat and an ungrateful person's mindset. As previously mentioned, the thermostat manages the air in an air-controlled environment. However, the thermostat for the ungrateful individual would be their "shame." You're wondering how shame is supposed to act as a thermostat for the ungrateful individual. Let's define the word shame, and it will eventually make sense. Shame is a painful feeling of humiliation or distress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.

If an ungrateful person's shame mechanism is not functioning, they may lose their ability to regulate their behavior in particular or all areas of their life. This can lead to them repeatedly asking for favors without considering your feelings, always borrowing and begging from you. In addition, they may become defensive if you confront them about their insensitive behavior towards you. Nevertheless, the most challenging area for anyone encountering such a person is their annoying, arrogant sense of entitlement.

As a counselor, I either meet such people or counsel those who have encountered them. Amazingly, I have discovered two predominant qualities in most ungrateful people that have become pillars in their foundation. The first quality is jealousy. Yes, this may seem odd, but indulge me for a moment.

Ungrateful individuals tend to unconsciously direct their negative behavior toward those they envy. This is their way of punishing those individuals for their success. Therefore, whenever they require resources or assistance, they seek help from those they envy. However, if you refuse their request, they will politely accept it but may speak ill of you behind your back to mutual friends, portraying you as an unkind, selfish, and mean person.

This leads to my second observation of ungrateful people. Ungrateful people often possess the trait of being skilled dissemblers. A dissembler is someone who hides their true thoughts or emotions. In simpler terms, a dissembler is a deceitful person.

They will go to any lengths to achieve their goals due to their broken thermostat (shame). Their tool of choice would be flattery and playing the victim to manipulate you. They always paint a negative picture of their circumstances and claim the world is against them, conveniently leaving out any mention of those who helped them. Then, they will praise you, saying how generous and helpful you are while hiding their true feelings (jealousy) to get something from you.

I think such people are covertly disrespectful with a mild hint of bullying their victims. In other words, due to their entitlement complex, they will subtly put you in an uncomfortable position through another one of their requested favors, which would almost be impossible for you to say no to. Despite inconveniencing you, they will shower you with compliments, such as "I really appreciate" and "I don't know what I would do without you," to persuade you to grant them the favor.

I came across a scripture that references the dissembler quality of an ungrateful person, and here is what it said. "A person that hates dissembles with their lips and stores deceit within themselves. When he speaks fair, believe him not, for his heart has seven abominations. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, nevertheless, his wickedness shall be exposed before the entire congregation" Proverbs 26:24-26

Here are thirteen signs of an ungrateful person:

1. They are never satisfied with what you've done for them.

2. They take advantage of your kindness.

3. Always negative, critical, and finding fault with others.

4. They are pretty calculating and deceptive.

5. They take you for granted.

6. They unashamedly express a sense of entitlement.

7. They consistently blame others for their problems.

8. They are challenging to work with and can be uncooperative.

9. They are excellent at flattering you when they need favors.

10. They have a victim mentality.

11. They do not care about your feelings.

12. They are master manipulators.

13. They disrespectfully violate your boundaries.

HOW TO MANAGE UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE

Addressing the issue is usually recommended when someone's behavior is problematic. However, it's not uncommon for ungrateful individuals to twist the situation and make you out to be the unappreciative one despite all you've done for them. But if that approach doesn't work, setting boundaries and saying no when necessary is essential. These individuals can be persistent and shameless in their requests, so please be firm with your decision. If boundaries and saying no still don't work, the best course of action may be to ignore them entirely. Being bold and firm in your efforts towards these people is essential.

If all attempts to resolve this issue have been unsuccessful, it may be in your best interest to permanently distance yourself from these individuals. Evidently, they are not true friends and are only interested in using you.

Experience Is The Best Teacher

Most things can be misleading due to their packaging. Beautiful packaging can hide terrible content, and unpleasant packaging can contain something beautiful.

Many of us can agree that what we see on the outside, such as packaging, can sometimes be different from what's inside. Our mistakes in life often stem from accepting things at face value and foolishly believing that appearances accurately represent what's inside. Unfortunately, we live in a world where honesty has been replaced with dishonesty. Experience has taught us the valuable lesson of looking before we leap.

I want to tell someone this morning, "Please remember, not everything that glitters is gold." It's important to carefully examine anything that seems like a fresh start, a great deal, a new relationship, a job offer, or anything else. Your responsibility is to do thorough research, ask questions, and focus on substance rather than appearance. In the end, it's the substance that you'll have to deal with, not the temporary attractive packaging. Jesus Christ gave us a great principle that, if followed, will allow us to recognize content over packaging. Jesus said, "You will know them by their fruit" (Matthew 7:16).

The fruit of anything is a telltale sign of not only the contents but also defines whatever it is producing that particular fruit. For example, an apple can only be made by an apple tree. In other words, the fruit is just the evidence of what tree produced it.

I don't know who you are, but you must grasp this understanding. Your decision to follow the packaging will force you to deal with unnecessary content. Unfortunately, most folks tolerate the undesired contents with the hope that they'll be exposed to the packaging again........... My mother repeatedly told me, "A little can tell you what a lot will be like." My words of wisdom to you on this beautiful morning. Focus on the fruit produced by that person, place, or thing. As a reminder, a fruit is the result of a seed. Hence, what they're consistently producing reveals who they really are. And at the same time, warning you that their packaging is a mere distraction from their contents. ~Kevin L A Ewing~
