Dreaming of Houses

 DREAMING OF HOUSES

In today's teaching on dreams and their understanding, we will focus on dreams that involve houses. Dreaming of a home is a very common dream. A house in a dream usually represents someone's life. Even more interesting is that each part of the house speaks to a specific area of the dreamer's life.

Let's examine the scriptures to prove that a house represents a person and their life. The book of Matthew 12:43-44 reads, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a person, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return into my house from whence I came out,' and when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished." In this scripture, the word "house" refers to the human host once inhabited by the unclean spirit. However, in another reference regarding houses, Acts 16:31, the word "house" is used as a symbol for a family.

So, as you have read, a house in a dream is symbolic of the dreamer's life or that of someone else. Former residences, such as your childhood home or a former apartment, symbolize delays, starting over, or inconvenient setbacks in life. A new house can represent a new life or a new way of life, and an old house usually speaks of things concerning the past, especially if you dream about a house you lived in when you were young. This undoubtedly symbolizes elements from your past that influence your life presently and prevent you from excelling or progressing.

Now that we have established that the house represents the person and their life let's explore the different areas of the house that specifically speak to specific regions of a person's life.

The bedroom is considered a private part of the house and always points to personal and/or intimate things. This part of the house is off-limits, particularly to those who do not live there. So if you dream of someone in your bedroom, it generally means someone is invading or intruding on your privacy. It can also mean someone trying to interfere in your relationship with your spouse or significant other. The bedroom can also represent a place of rest, especially if you're in bed. These dreams should be taken very seriously because they warn the dreamer of pending spiritual manifestations. It calls for much prayer to dismantle this impending evil.

Dreams involving bathrooms often carry a symbolic meaning of purification and the release of negative emotions or behaviors. Within the realm of dream interpretation, bathrooms can be seen as a representation of the cleansing process, both physically and mentally, where one can rid themselves of any unwanted residue or toxic matters.

A basement is a space underneath a home, often used for storage or as an additional living area. It can also symbolize hidden or discarded items, including sins such as unfaithfulness, emotional pain, and family secrets.

The living room and den are common areas within a home where families gather to engage in meaningful conversations about current events and personal matters. These spaces offer a sense of comfort and familiarity to those who seek a safe and welcoming environment in which to share their thoughts and feelings. Whether discussing world news or intimate family affairs, these spaces provide a platform for open and honest communication among loved ones.

Dreaming of a "front porch" typically refers to open and visible areas to the public, lacking a sense of privacy and often exposing the events or activities occurring within it, both present and future. This can encompass a range of settings and scenarios, from physical spaces such as a literal front porch to digital platforms and social media accounts that anyone can view, exposing personal content. In other cases, a front porch would represent things of the future, similar to a back porch, which would indicate stuff of the past.

A kitchen is a place for preparing, cooking, and storing food. To the dreamer, it symbolizes preparation for something. For those passionate about cooking, it represents a love for the craft. It could also mean studying and holding the word in one's heart.

Dreaming of a roof can represent covering and protecting the mind and thoughts. It is the same if you dream about the ceiling of a home; it speaks directly to the mind and opinions of the person. For instance, let's say you had a dream of mildew on your ceiling or blackbirds on your roof. This case speaks of evil thoughts attempting or invading your mind. Remember, the color black represents negative things.

When one dreams of a home's foundation, it can symbolize a variety of ancestral and family matters. These can include curses and blessings, depending on the specific details of the dream. For instance, snakes on the foundation may indicate a curse, while clear water may represent blessings. It is essential to carefully consider the details of the dream to gain a deeper understanding of the message it may be trying to convey.

Stairs in a house are significant because going up a staircase represents promotion or elevation, and going down a stair would mean the opposite, which would be a demotion.

If you dream about your or someone else's property, it would represent territory, dominion, and even ownership.

One must remember that the interpretation of dream symbols is often shaped by an individual's cultural background, occupation, way of life, and faith. As such, it is of utmost importance to depend exclusively on the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit when seeking to understand their meaning.

Spiritual understanding of dream symbols

In our teaching today on dreams we will focus on a particular area of our dreams that every dreamer experience. The reality is, if you’re a dreamer then it is happening to you but you‘re probably just not aware of it.

In my previous articles on dreams, I would have mentioned to you that for the most part dreams are symbolic. However, more importantly the symbols that would appear in our dreams would be relative to our everyday life. Meaning, our dreams for the most part would be relative to our work, family, church etc. things that our environment or life is consist of. If we reference the bible days, their dreams were usually saturated with farming, animals, the sun, moon, stars etc. This was so because once they would have identified and understood the purpose of the symbols the interpretation were automatic.

The bible gives us an account of Joseph the son of Jacob who had a dream that he shared with his family. In this dream he said that he dreamt that the Sun, the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to him. His father being upset by Joseph’s dream jumped up and said, “What do you mean your mother and I and your brothers will bow to you?” Now the truth is Joseph never said a word concerning the interpretation of the dream. Nevertheless, his father understood that the Sun which is greater in light must represent himself, the moon must represent his wife and the eleven stars must represent Joseph’s eleven brothers. This is by far a clear example of understanding the significance and purpose of things concerning your everyday life, so that once it shows up in your dreams you can convert its purpose in an effort to make sense of your dream.

Now, In the world of dreams there is what is called “Dream markers”. Dream markers are specific symbols in a person’s dream that has a specific personal meaning to them. For example, some folks if they ever see any type of fish in their dreams, they become immediately alarmed because as a marker for themselves fish symbolizes fertility or pregnancy, while for others it has an entirely different meaning. So dream markers are identifying specific symbols that have personal meaning to you that no matter how the dream presents itself those markers provides a clear and specific understanding to the dreamer.

Using myself as an example, I had a dream this morning and in this dream I was rushing to catch a flight. However, as I approached what appeared to be Customs/Immigration section, my travel documents were taken away from me by the officer. The officer glanced at my travel documents with a mean look then gave them back to me along with a white document and said I must join the line. This line that he spoke of led all the way outside of the building, which clearly meant I would not make my flight. I could recall not only being very disappointed in the dream but very confused.

Now, the dream markers in this case for me were, whenever I have dreams where I am either being hindered or being sent back in any situation. The dream automatically symbolizes pending or current delay and setback for me in the natural. Secondly, in this dream I recognized the emotions of confusion and disappointment in this dream, which again is a marker for me but also speaks of pending confusion and disappointment in the natural as a result of the setback and the delay. As a reminder, dreams are spiritual and are always revealing what is pending or currently taking place in the spirit realm to be manifested in our natural world or currently being manifested. So you need not ask, but like I have been instructing you throughout these teachings, when I woke up I began a series of canceling and rejecting of this dream from the spirit realm via prayer so that there would be no physical manifestation in the natural realm. I think this bears repeating. In order for things of the spirit to manifest in our natural realm be it good or evil there must be an agreement between things that are spiritual and things that are natural. Thus, when we cancel and pray against a dream we are severing all knowing or unknowing agreements that were made in our dreams. Scripture clearly says, "While men slept (during his dreams), his enemy (Satan and his evil spirits) came and plant evil spiritual seeds and then went his way" Matthew 13:25. Again, if these seeds which truly represents evil covenants that have been forged in your dreams are not spiritually challenged, then the manifestation of those evil dreams will come to pass.

In closing I need you to keep in mind that the reality behind every dream is the seeking of your approval or agreement, be it covertly or overtly by spirits, Angelic or demonic. Again, the reason for this is, the law of physical manifestation requires the agreement between things that are spiritual with things that are natural in order for physical manifestation to occur. So if you choose not to cancel your dreams if it’s not a good dream, then it’s equivalent to agreeing with the dream (silence takes consent). This is the primary law of the spirit realm to take special note of because if you’re being given something in a dream such as an envelope, a piece of paper or something that is sealed. The mere fact that you accepted it symbolizes your agreement in the dream. The question is what is it that you have agreed to? It could have been your death warrant in the dream you have agreed to that could either spell physical death for you in the natural or the ending of something very important to you in the natural.

Again, like I have admonished you in my previous teachings on dreams, the safest prayer to pray upon waking from these dreams especially if you don’t understand the dream is the following: “Lord if this dream is of you then I come in total agreement with your desire for my life, However Lord, if this dream was not of you, then I cancel and reject all the plans of the enemy for my life from the root which is in the spirit realm and command it to be destroyed by spiritual fire in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Your life is like a vapor

Death is the permanent transition from our natural physical world to the spirit world. Death is also
the bringing to an end of all earthly matters whether its purposes were fulfilled or not.

More importantly however, death is the only way in which the real you which is your spirit can be extracted from your physical body to join the billions of souls that have gone ahead of you in the spirit world to either eternal rest or eternal damnation.

The reality is, it really does not matter how you die, meaning whether it was by a motor vehicle accident, a heart attack, plane crash etc. These means of death are just the extraction of which permanent separation is made between spirit and body.

Unfortunately, folks are more challenged concerning the extraction process of death which is entirely irrelevant as oppose to what happens after the extraction process. Many of us manipulate ourselves by convincing ourselves that we are guaranteed another day of existence. This is primarily due to such events such as: a good health report from the Doctor, a job promotion, a new marriage, a new baby a new relationship etc.

However, I am certain you would agree with me in that you either know of or have heard of the above instances where death unexpectedly showed up to perform the extraction process, in spite of the new marriage, the new baby, the recent job promotion etc?

My question to you this morning is simply this, during the course of your daily preparation for everything else that is of importance to you, have you seriously given thought as to what will really happen to you when your appointment with the extraction process presents itself to you?

"You have no idea what tomorrow will bring. For what is your life? Is it not like a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away?" James 4:14

Your connections will reveal who or what have you hindered

Everything in God's creation was designed to connect with something or someone  else to
manufacture, create, produce or reveal more.

Satan, on the other hand, one who loves to mimic and reverse the order of God understands that not everything was meant to connect with anything. He is also fully aware that some connections would produce the opposite of its intended purpose.

With that said, I would like to add here that there is a significant difference between being naturally barren and spiritually barren. To be naturally barren is to suggest that there is something wrong with that person, that place or that thing that is causing it not to produce, increase multiply or advance. To the contrary, to be spiritually barren; it means that there is absolutely nothing wrong with that person, that place or that thing. Instead, it is what these things are CONNECTED TO that's consistently producing an end result of barrenness.

The reality of life is simply this, to know why you're not growing or not increasing you must discover what is it that have you hindered. To identify what is it that have you hindered you MUST inspect and investigate who or what is it that you're connected to. I can assure you; all things has its beginnings with some type of connection.

Scripture clearly tells us that God saw that everything in the garden of Eden was good except that man should not be alone, Genesis 2:18. Interestingly enough, the word good in this text literally means to benefit. Therefore, the scripture is not suggesting that God messed up instead it is suggesting that Adam being by himself could not benefit himself and by extension creation.

God understood that for Adam to produce, advance, increase, and progress in life not only must he be connected but he must be connected to the right person. Scripture goes on to say that God didn't just create another person out of the dust like how he initially created Adam. Instead, he removed one of Adam's rib while Adam was asleep to create Adam's help meet.

The phrase "Help meet" is defined as someone that is compatible or suitable.  That when join to whatever they were designed for. then there must be a benefit to each other, and as a result of this "divine connection," this couple will produce more like a connected team than they were producing as individuals.

To advance my point, as long as Adam and Eve stayed connected to each other as the will of God had design it to be, then they were guaranteed growth and to achieve the once unachievable. However, it was only when Eve connected with Satan that everything went downhill for her and her husband and by extension all creation. Every connection reaches well beyond your understanding and has the power to create or destroy life.

I said all of that to say this: IF YOU'RE NOT PRODUCING, GROWING, ADVANCING OR SIMPLY NOT ENJOYING YOUR LIFE, THEN REVISIT WHO OR WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ARE OR HAVE CONNECTED YOURSELF TO.

How can two walk together except they agree, Amos 3:3

Your declaration will produce victory

Someone needs to know today that the lord is fighting for you, please stand still declare the word of
God and observe the salvation of the lord! Unfortunately, you are assisting your enemies in fighting against you by declaring what you see instead of what God has said!

Scripture says, Moses, Aaron, and Hur climbed to the top of a nearby hill. As long as Moses held up the staff in his hand, the Israelites had the advantage. But whenever he dropped his hand, the Amalekites gained the advantage and prevailed against the Israelites. Aaron and Hur assisted Moses with keeping his hands raised and as a result defeated the Amalekites, Exodus 17.

My friend, please read slowly and carefully what I am about to say next! While you are declaring the word of the lord over your situation you are indeed co-laboring with the lord to defeat those that choose to challenge you. However, when you decide to speak more of the negative of what your enemies are doing to you as oppose to what God is doing for you, you are STAYING THE HAND OF GOD! Thus your enemies subduing you.

From this moment forward, you are command to speak only what God has declared about your situation. If you are sick but he has said you are heal, then you must CONTINUALLY DECLARE HEALING, and not what the sickness is doing to you. If you are in a financial bind and you do not know where the next penny is coming from, then DO NOT DECLARE HOW BROKE YOU ARE OR HOW THINGS ARE SO TOUGH. Instead, you must fight against the spirit of defeat and declare the word of God that says, "MY GOD SHALL (not might) SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS" Philippians 4:19.

While Aron and Hur assisted Moses in raising his hands as a symbol of declared victory, you must raise your voice and declare what thus said the lord about your situation as a declaration of victory!

Faith is the word of God

The blessings and the favor of God will exceed your greatest expectation if you allow it! Scripture
clearly tells us that it is God's desire to do exceedingly, abundantly and above all that we could ask or think, according to the power that works in us, Ephesians. 3:20.

With this empirical biblical evidence that reveals it is always God's desire to exceed whatever it it we are asking him for, according to his will of course. Then why do we make the following prayers:

"Lord I am believing for a down payment on a car"
"Lord I am believing you for a down payment on a home"
"Lord I pray that my kids will get good grades"
"Lord I pray that you change my husband/wife"

Such prayers reveal exactly where you are in your faith. It is almost as if you're not sure if God will grant you your entire request so you ask for just portions of what you really want. I can assure you that if you were an avid reader and listener of the word of God, such prayers would never leave your lips.

If you believe in prayer then you must also believe in the word of God that will answer your prayers and most of all you must believe that God wants to do much more than whatever it is you're requesting of him. If this is the case, then your prayers to God must change. For example, this is how one who is confident in the word of God prayers for the above request:

Father God, I believe your word and I am a believer that your word is faith, because your word says that faith comes by hearing but not just hearing anything but specifically hearing the word of God, Romans 10:17. Therefore, I declare your word back to you which is faith concerning my request to you. You said in your word that you will give me houses I did not built and land that I did not labor for, Deut. 6:11, Joshua 24:13. Therefore, I am not asking you for a down payment for my car or home, instead by faith which is your word; is requesting a debt free home along with a debt free car because your word has made it clear to me that it is your desire to exceed my expectations of you according to Ephesians 3:20.

Father God Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth. Your word declares that it is IMPOSSIBLE to please or satisfy you without faith, Hebrews 11:6. Therefore I am bringing my faith to you which is your word and your word which is my faith says, the seed of the righteous shall be delivered and that the seed of the righteous is blessed, Psalm 112:2, Proverbs 11:21. Again, because I am fully aware that it is always your desire to exceed whatever It is that I request of you according to your will; then I pray your word as it relates to my children and your word says, which again is my faith, "you will increase me more and more me and my children" Psalm 115:14. Therefore, I pray not only for good grades and favor in certain areas of their live. Instead, I pray that they would experience over all blessed lives and that you would deliver them in every area of their lives in the name of your son Jesus Christ.

My friend, hear me loud and clear today. God wants you to remind him of what he's promised you. speak his word in your prayers because his word is your faith and he's made it crystal clear that it is impossible to please, satisfy, gratify, pacify or even make him content outside of faith which is his word. The lord should hear more of his word in  your prayers than whatever your situation maybe because it is ultimately his word that will change your situation. He already knows your situation, now he's expecting the only currency that Heaven accepts and that is the currency of faith, which is his word in exchange for your solution.

Have a blessed day while declaring your faith which is the word of God. My word of faith today is: "He that hath knowledge spares his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit" Proverbs 17:27.

Good Ground Does Not Guarantee One HundredFold

Have you ever wondered why, in the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, the seeds
deposited on the good ground brought forth 30, 60, and some a hundredfold? Since it's good ground, there should be a hundredfold harvest period!

Before we expose the revelation of this particular biblical passage. Let us bring meaning to understanding the symbols mentioned in this scripture. Firstly, The sower in this parable would be the Preacher; the seeds would be the word of God. The different grounds that the seed was sown in would represent the hearts of men.

The story then goes on to say how each heart received the word, but its reaction to the word of God was different in comparison to each other. Now, I understand why the different grounds the seeds were sown into before the good ground did not pan out well. However, what always baffled me was the fact that shouldn't the seeds that were planted into the good ground automatically produce 100-fold? After all, it is good ground, right? Why is it that even though the ground was good in some cases, 100-fold was not guaranteed or achieved? In fact, it clearly says that even on the good ground, it would only produce some 30 and 60 fold. What was causing the good ground not to produce 100-fold for every seed planted?

Revelation time! As you would recall, the different grounds symbolize the hearts of men, and the seeds represent the word of God. The one sowing the seeds would be your preacher/Apostle/Bishop/Pastor, etc. Well, the good grounds represented the hearts of men receptive to God's word. Nevertheless, how much of the word of God they BELIEVE would determine how much of the word would be manifested to or for them.

For example, some churches do not believe in witchcraft, speaking in tongues, the gifts of the spirit, etc. So, as a result, they reject or dismiss scriptures that teach these things and how to operate in them. Therefore, they would see the manifestation of the scriptures they teach and believe in. Still, they leave their congregation ignorant and defenseless to the biblical teachings of the other scriptures that they dismiss. Thus, they only receive 30 and 60-fold of what the entire bible has promised.

This now explains why Jesus said, according to "YOUR" faith be it unto you, Matthew 9:29 and "All things are possible to "HIM" that "BELIEVE"" Mark 9:23. These two scriptures are a summary of the parable of the sower in Matthew 13. Even though you may be a Believer of Jesus Christ or a Christian (good ground), this does not entitle you to a hundredfold manifestation of the scriptures. Instead, it is the portions you believe will determine your 30, 60, or 100-fold. In other words, if you believe and have faith in parts of the scriptures, then expect portions in manifestations of the scriptures. On the other hand, if you believe and have faith in everything the bible says, expect a hundredfold manifestation of the scriptures in your life.

Regrettably, I have met many Pastors who do not believe in the existence of witchcraft, even though the bible speaks extensively of it, and have at the same time dismissed all biblical teachings of it. Unfortunately, their members are the ones who suffer because Satan uses this door of ignorance to take advantage of the spiritual law that says, "My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge" Hosea 4:6 and "My people are gone into captivity because they lack knowledge, Isaiah 5:13.

Any spiritual leader who insists on keeping you ignorant of spiritual laws and the overall teaching of the bible is a leader who customizes scripture to fit their selfish agenda to manipulate or even keep their members ignorant. If they are not giving you the unadulterated word of God in its entirety or insist that you only believe certain parts of the bible, then DO NOT EXPECT, ANTICIPATE OR LOOK FORWARD TO THE HUNDREDFOLD BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE!
