The revelation of dream symbols

In this particular teaching on dreams it is my desire to take you to another level of dream
interpretation as it relates to the symbols in our dreams.

One of the first things we must cement into our understanding in an effort to progress to the next level of dream interpretation is that we must not become comfortable or subscribe to the erroneous fact that what a particular symbol/objects stands for in one dream does not necessarily mean that it would represent the same thing in another dream.

As usual, let's dig through the hidden revelation of scripture to expose this mystery. As a reminder, Pharaoh who indeed was the king of Egypt had two strange dreams. In his first dream he said that he saw the malnourished cows eating up the healthier cows and in his second dream he saw the sickly looking corn eating up the healthier corn.

Now surprisingly when Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dream he immediately indicated to Pharaoh that both dreams carry the same meaning, however when we analyze both dreams, while the meaning maybe the same the symbols are very much different.

In the first dream the malnourished cows represented the pending seven years of famine, while in the second dream the pending seven years of famine was symbolized by the sickly looking corn. However on the other hand in the first dream the seven years of plenty was represented by the healthier cows, while the second dream the years of plenty was represented by the healthier corn, Genesis 41:17-24

This spiritual insight that is clearly being revealed to us is suggesting that we can not take for granted that a particular symbol carries the same meaning or representation in all dreams. This is why it is imperative that we rely solely on the Spirit of truth which is the Holy Spirit, whom the bible says is responsible for leading us into all truth, John 16:13

This is why when Joseph was originally brought before Pharaoh to have his dream interpreted, Joseph quickly made it known to Pharaoh that it was God and not him that gives interpretations to dreams, Genesis 41:16.

In another example, In the book of Daniel 2:38, the phrase, "Thou art this head of goal" represented king Nebuchadnezzar. However, in Daniel 4:20-22, this same king Nebuchadnezzar is symbolized by a tree and not a head of goal.

Please! These are powerful spiritual points to take note of when attempting to bring clarity to your dreams. By not having such knowledge then not only is it easy to misinterpret our dreams but this misinterpretation could reroute our destiny. The bottom line is this; dream symbols can have different meaning at different times or to different people. Again, thus the guidance of the Holy Spirit to bring accurate revelation to the mystery of our dreams.

Let's say you had two separate dreams at two different periods of your life. In your first dream you saw a Lion attacking you. However during the course of your second dream you saw a Lion actually protecting you by attacking folks that were trying to harm you. Now such a dream could be quite confusing, right?

Well, in the first dream the Lion is symbolic of Satan and his kingdom of darkness, simply because scripture says the following in regards to such actions of a Lion, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom he may devour" 1 Peter 5:8. Subsequently, in the second dream the Lion is actually protecting the dreamer from whomever was attempting to harm him in his dream. Well we know that Our Lord and savior Jesus Christ is known as the Lion of the tribe of Judah according to Revelation 5:5. So, clearly the Lord was revealing to the dreamer that it was him that would defend and protect the dreamer from his enemies.

Again folks, it is such revelations that we as people of God are missing out on or lacking that has become the root cause of our failures in life. I will continue to do all that is within my power to unlock the mysteries of the spirit realm, especially as it relates to our dreams. Make no mistake, as a child of God you are no different than me, meaning, just like myself there are secrets/mysteries that God has set aside just for you but you must pursue and develop a hunger for it.

"The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law" Deuteronomy 29:29.

The reality of hope

According to the World Health Organization, 56 million people die each year, which is an average of about 153,424 people each day.

Wow! Now isn't that amazing? 153,424 people die globally every single day. Now, what's even more amazing is the fact that neither you or myself were included in those numbers if we are reading this article.

While I would readily agree that there is so much to complain about, I can simultaneously say there is so much to be thankful and appreciative for, if nothing else, the ability to participate in the land of the living.

Scripture says to us, " For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion" Eccl. 9:4. The word hope in this text is defined as "EXPECTATION or ANTICIPATION" of something. What this simply means is this, while we may not have all that we would like to have at this point in our lives or things are not going the way we would like for it to go. The gift of life provides that hope that things can change at any moment!

King Solomon in the above scripture text understood this reality quite well. His analogy was; as powerful and intimidating as a Lion can be, if he is dead, then there  is no more hope for him. LIFE! Is embedded with hope. In spite of your defeated, depress or even unsuccessful state you may have found yourself in. The mere fact that you are alive has qualified you and position you that things has the ability and potential to change for the better. This is what hope does, it places a demand on the future insisting and demanding change.

Therefore, hope encourages life while the depletion of hope encourages and fosters death! Hopeless people, commits suicide, hopeless people entertain depression, hopeless people never see the light at the end of the tunnel, hopeless people are negative and sees the world as a spinning ball of darkness.

King Solomon went further in his understanding of this profound reality when he made mention of the following, "For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun." Eccl. 9:5-6.

In an effort to condense King Solomon's point, basically what he's saying is that those that are living are duly aware that their lives will come to an end one day, therefore they're not trying to hasten that assigned time via the entertaining of depression, not being able to get over certain situations, hate for others etc. Instead they're riding on the fact that because they are afforded another day of life, they've decided to maximize that day with the hope that is accompanied with it that things can change for the better. Solomon quickly added, that when a person dies he has been disqualified from the thing that hope fueled while he was among the living, which was: that person's love, hatred, envy, joy etc. In fact he said that all of these thing perished along with that person's demise.

I do not know who this post is speaking to this morning, but what I am fully aware of is the simple fact that if you're reading this post right now then it says to me that you have two gifts in your possession and they are the gift of life along with the gift of hope. Both of these gifts have qualified and enabled your temporal situation to change at any moment.

Hope, is the school master of life dictating to its audience that nothing can stay the same forever, good or bad CHANGE IS THE INEVITABLE!

Who's leading you?

If your leader is broke, chances are you're broke, if your leader is a bully chances are you'll develop into a bully. If your leader loves to control others then that explains why you love to control others. If your leader is stubborn chances are you're stubborn.

If your leader is a giver chances are you'll become a giver. If your leader is compassionate then this will explain why you have compassion for others as well.

Spiritual law dictates the following in regards to leadership:

"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!  It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments, Psalm 133:1-2

The spiritual law in this particular Psalm is clearly revealing that whatever affects the head of anyone or anything will eventually affect the body of whatever that head is leading. In other words it is almost impossible to be under any leadership and not be contaminated by whatever that leadership represents be it good or bad.

The head or leadership of anything or anyone becomes the gateway to which everything enters. For example I know of a certain church where the Pastor is a controller, well when you observe the general behavior of the members they display the same controlling traits among themselves and by extension their families. This is why scripture says, "If ye smite the shepherd (the head or leader) the sheep (the body or organization) will scatter" Zechariah 13:7, Mark 14:27, Matthew 26:31

The bottom line is this, change to or for any body, group or organization begins with the change of whomever is leading the charge of that group or institution. Haven't you noticed that you have been sowing into that Ministry year after year but yet things still can not turn around financially for you neither the Ministry? Well, check out the leadership of that organization or if you're married check the leadership of your home. Again, if the leader is broke, then more than likely you will remain broke or at best you'll always be financially struggling. The curse of poverty over the leader or the head has and will continue to flow down to the body just like the spiritual law of headship has revealed in Psalm 133:2.

Scripture tells us in John 13:16, John 15:20. Matthew 10:24, Luke 6:40 and also in Acts 17:11, that "NO SERVANT IS ABOVE OR GREATER THAN HIS MASTER" It is the leader that sets the ORDER or DISORDER in any organization. He or she would be the primary reason as to why things are flowing or not flowing.

My question to you this morning is simply this, are you broke, frustrated, confused or just tired of the same old, same old day after day? Well, my next question is WHO IS IT THAT'S LEADING YOU, WHO IS IT THAT YOU'RE SUBJECT TO? Because whoever is leading you or whomever you're following is either directly or indirectly the root of your problems in fact you mirror whoever your leader represents. Make no mistake my friend, the body of any organization is a direct reflection of its leadership.

Despite The Views Of Others Restoration Will Be Your Portion

The story concerning the prodigal son is an interesting one. , when he finally came to his senses before deciding to return home, not only did he return to his former residence where his Father and family lived, but amazingly his Father restored him to where he should have been at that point in his life.

Scripture clearly says that when the prodigal son's Father saw him afar off, he had compassion on his son, hugged him, and kissed him, apparently overwhelmed by his son's return. The son, after admitting that he had sinned against heaven and in the sight of his Father. He said,  "I am no more worthy to be called thy son. It was at this moment that the Father said to his servants. "Bring forth the best robe, put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: And bring the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry." The key to God advancing you to where you should be in your life begins with you getting back into position. The prodigal son could not be advanced to where he should have been at that point in his life outside of returning to the one who was able to make it happen for him. Please read carefully what I am about to say next; it will only be when you perform it right with God and man that you will qualify to be advanced to where you should have been at this point in your life!

Why not make the decision right now and Confess to God and those you've wronged and, like the Prodigal son, abandon your pride for spiritual restoration that will make way for natural restoration in your life.

What is so interesting about this story is that the son was restored to where he should have been at that point in his life, even though his brother wasn't pleased with the Father's decision, seeing that he was the one that was always faithful, committed and stayed at his Father's side. I want to say to someone today that God not only desires to restore you, but he wants to position you to where you should have been at this point in your life. Despite what you have lost, how much of your time you have, or others have wasted, or the non-approval of others, it is still God's desire to hurl you to your rightful position at this point in your life.

"Lord, we decree and declare on this glorious day;  your word that says you will restore unto us the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, the Caterpillar, and the Palmer-worm, Joel 2:25.
We further stand on your word and command Satan and his agents to restore unto us sevenfold of everything he has stolen, including the substance of his household, according to your word in Proverbs 6:30-31. Father! Advance us in this day to where we should have been at this point in our lives in the mighty name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!

It's Your Time To Be Advanced

Scripture says to us that God spoke through his prophet Isaiah, that he would raise up a heathen king
by the name of Cyrus. God said that he would do the following for king Cyrus:

" I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in pieces the bars of iron:

And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel" Isaiah 45:1-3

Well, I pray this morning that this same God who did the above for a heathen king will go ahead of whoever is reading this post and make the crooked paths in their lives straight. It is also my prayer that God Almighty will break in pieces the spiritual gates of brass and cut in half the spiritual bars of iron that have withheld your spiritual blessings and, as a result, advance you to where you should have been at this point in your life.

Father, Just like you did for King Cyrus, Please! Release to us the treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places that the enemy has stolen from us so that we would be even more convinced, that you O' Lord, who has called us by our names, that you are the God of Israel.

I want to say to someone today that the God of all glory has positioned others to catapult you to where you should have been at this point in your life. The physical manifestation of what God has done for you spiritually will be revealed in the uncommon help that's about to come your way. All that the enemy has stolen from you spiritually and hid in his treasury must and will be released.

God advanced Abraham, God advanced Moses, God advanced Isaac, God advanced Jacob, God advanced Joseph, and so many others. NOW HE HAS DECIDED THAT IT'S TIME TO ADVANCE YOU!!!!!!

Dreaming of Dogs

It is pretty standard for me to be physically approached daily or to discover my email inbox flooded with emails by folks seeking to understand their dreams.

While reviewing some of their dreams. It becomes pretty clear to me some of the spiritual things that have their lives tied to a destiny of utter misery while others are on the road to encounter the incredible promises of God, which their dreams have clearly revealed.

Recently, many folks have approached me concerning dogs being in their dreams. These dogs are either chasing them, biting them, growling at them, or just viciously attacking them. In fact, I can vividly recall someone telling me about a dream a friend of theirs had. In this dream, it was revealed that two dogs were either about to attack this person or attack them. Suddenly, a white man appeared, which caused the dogs to change their course and retreat towards the white man. The white gentleman began to pet the dogs and advised that the dog would not harm her.

As expected, this person thought this was a good dream. of course, it is all due to their lack of understanding of what dogs symbolize in a dream.

Let's look at scripture to garner spiritual insight about dogs. "For dogs have compassed me about: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet" Psalm 22:16. The King James version from which this passage of scripture was extracted clearly reveals the punctuation symbol of a colon (:) after the sentence, "For dogs have compassed me about." The word dog in the text indicates or symbolizes wicked people. As many of you would know or may not know, a colon is used to explain further or give details of what has been previously saying about something or someone. So in the following sentence, " "For dogs have compassed me about," the colon sign (:) that comes after the sentence now provides more details of the sentence. Now let's carefully read that explanation in the following sentence: "The assembly of the wicked has enclosed me." Wow! Now isn't that amazing?

Let us take it a step further. This prophetic chapter of Psalm 22, which speaks of Jesus' crucifixion, gives us a more spiritual insight into the meaning of dogs in a dream or the understanding of its symbol in the spiritual realm. In Psalm 22:20, the Psalmist is now revealing the spiritual forces that would come against the soul of Christ during his crucifixion, and we know the soul of man to be his mind, will, and his emotions.

Now, what you are about to read in Psalm 22:20 are symbols of things that are spiritual. This particular text it's indicating demonic attacks. "Deliver my soul from the sword; (sword in the realm of the spirits represents words, in this case, evil words) my darling from the power of the dog (indicating deliver those things that are precious to him from the power of demonic attacks).

So far, we have unearthed the mystery of dogs to indicate wicked people and evil spirits/demons. Let us now read with spiritual understanding what the Apostle Paul was pointing out to the church of Philippians. In Philippians 3:2, "Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision." Of course, he's not referring to literal dogs in this text, and if you study the text carefully, it will quickly reveal he's warning them to beware of bad things!

Therefore, with the above understanding in mind, the dream I mentioned earlier about the lady, the dogs, and the white man is clearly not a good dream. However, outside of the above understanding of what a dog symbolizes, it can easily be assumed that it was a good dream. The white man calling the dogs and allowing the lady to continue her journey would point to a good deed. When the reality is, if dogs represent evil spirits and these evil spirits are friendly with whomever in the dream, then we can conclude whoever that person is, in fact, the source of that evil. The act of what appears to be a kindness on the white man's end was a part of a bigger picture to mislead the dreamer on a destiny of failure and destruction. As always, when such dreams leave the dreamer confused as to whether or not such a dream is from God or Satan, it is always good to play it safe by praying the following prayer.

"Father,  if my dream was from you, then I come in complete agreement with your plans for my life. If my dream was from Satan and the kingdom of darkness, then I reject all subtle and overt evil covenants forged in my dream, and I cancel all pending evil manifestation in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!

Dreaming about dogs is also a symbol of a dog's spirit. A dog spirit is a sexually perverted spirit that lacks any form of shame or acknowledgment of disgrace. In fact, it is associated with humiliation. However, the victim of this spirit is spiritually blind to the disgraceful acts they perform sexually with others or the gyrating and sexually charged movements and motions that they publicly make with their bodies. Like a dog, in reality, a person with a dog spirit does not care if they have sex with a complete stranger, their Mother, sister, or whoever, or even if the person they are about to have sex with has a disease or not. This spirit is heavily influencing their victims to do whatever it takes to satisfy the evil spirit that's operating behind their strange, perverse behavior. Please! If you are being attacked by dogs in your dreams, you need to pray hard.....

Some folks have experienced dreams where they saw dogs licking the sex organs of the dreamer. These dreams must be taken seriously because such dreams represent impotence and barrenness. Again, it can also mean a spirit of uncontrollable lust being introduced to the dreamer's life.

The bible says the following, "As a dog returns to his vomit, so a fool returns to his foolishness" Proverbs 26:11. The spiritual implication of this scripture is simply this. If you were to see a dog returning to his vomit in a dream, this would indicate that the enemy is attempting to take you down a path that you have already been delivered from. Again, you must cancel, rebuke and reject such dreams in the mighty name of Jesus Christ!

In the book of revelations 22:14-15, it says, " Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city. However, dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters, and whosoever loves and tells lies outside the gates. Again, dogs in this text are cast in an opposing view and among grievous evil as everything else mentioned.

Dogs are also quite noisy and annoying with their constant barking. If you're experiencing dreams where dogs are barking at you in a dream, the dream indicates continuous pending or current trouble and confusion that just don't seem to be able to go away from the dreamer's life. If one dog constantly barks at the dreamer, the dream reveals an individual becoming a nuisance. If it's a group of dogs, the dream indicates a group effort in being a nuisance to the dreamer. Some folks have dreams where they would see dogs attacking their real-life enemies. In such cases, the dream reveals that the evil your enemies sent after you will be returned upon themselves. I can vividly recall having a dream some time ago where a pit bull dog was quite a distance facing me, making vicious growling sounds preparing to attack me. Before he could make a run at me, I began to run in his direction to attack him. I have had this dream twice. The dream reveals boldness and courage and that not only was I courageous in the face of evil but was willing to be the first to initiate the attack..... This is what I call bringing the battle to the enemy's gate.

Despite all that you have just read, God will give you victory over these dogs in your dream, which represents evil spirits and evil people if you challenge these dreams via prayer and canceling of such dreams. Let us read what scripture says about this, "They return during the evening, they make a noise like a dog and go around about the city. Behold they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips; for who, say they, do hear? But thou O' Lord shall laugh at them; thou shall have all the heathen in derision. I will wait upon thee because of his strength: For God is my defense. The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies" Psalm 59:6-10. 

The reality is there is nowhere in scripture where dogs are cast in a positive light. In fact, all of its connotations revert to negative things. Therefore, dogs in a dream are considered negative dreams. Suppose those dogs in your dreams are friendly. In that case, the reality is the dreamer is being manipulated and set up to unknowingly engage in evil covenant to secure defeat and destruction in their life.

Are you being attack in your dreams?

Folks have to, at some point wake up to the reality that many among you will do
everything within their power to see to it that you do not succeed.

Unfortunately, their efforts will not always be by physical means! Meaning, you will not know how or when they will attack you simply because for the most part there will be little to no evidence of approaching physical danger.

For this reason, alone we must make reasonable efforts in regards to understanding our dreams. It is our dreams that's revealing the origin of all attacks against us from a spiritual perspective. Our dreams are considered our spiritual monitors, revealing pending spiritual matters that desires to be manifested in our natural world, inclusive of imminent dangers.

So, if you're having dreams where someone is running or chasing you, then not only is this dream revealing an attack against you but more importantly, it's simultaneously acknowledging defeat and error on your end. Scripture tells us that The wicked man flees though no one pursues, the righteous are as bold as a lion, Proverbs 28:1.

Based on the above scripture there is something terribly wrong if you find yourself as a righteous person running away from the enemy in your dreams. In fact, according to scripture, this is an error. Simply because scripture clearly says the righteous are as bold as a lion, meaning they are never afraid to the point where they run away from their attackers. Instead, scriptures reveal that the wicked run even when no one is after him. Again, this scripture is revealing some startling facts in that those that are after you are more afraid of you than you are of them. However, they will always use the preferred method against the righteous, and that is the weapon of "FEAR"" in an attempt to disable the upright from resorting to his God-given gifts, anointing and power to subdue his attackers.

Having said that, if you are being attacked in a dream or even defeated it is a MUST! That you rebuke and cancel such dreams if you desire not for this dream to be manifested into a reality. In fact, I strongly advise you read scriptures such as Proverbs 28:1 repeatedly before going to bed at night to build your spirit man to challenge the forces of darkness that will ultimately challenge your spirit during your sleep.
