Part 10 (1/2)

Interpretation: The drive-through is really what is happening in your life. You are getting in your car to get fed, and you are unaware of what is going on. G.o.d is showing you via this everyday situation (you may regularly eat take-away) what is going on spiritually (see Automobile). In short, it appears you are looking for ministry as your source of being fed by G.o.d. The car going through the drive-through represents a commercial quick-fix mindset (see Drive-Through). You are rus.h.i.+ng things and not meditating in the Word or seeking G.o.d (see Heb. 5:14). Be careful not to put ministry before your relations.h.i.+p with Jesus.

When you see the frog, G.o.d is showing you what is really happening. The frog represents two things: 1. Deception (a lying spirit) or you have bought a deception (see Frog).

2. A stronghold with influence over your life. The stronghold is looking to a human father-figure as your source instead of G.o.d. The broken promises you experienced from your earthly father cause you to look to other men as a subst.i.tute. The Lord doesn't want this to repeat in your life in the later days, because G.o.d is your heavenly Daddy. He will never break His promises to you.

The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).

People's promises are not always what they appear. Many promises appear very attractive, yet they come with troubles.

The fact that the car is meant to come from a Christian lady (as you described her) represents a ministry promised to you from an unreliable source. The promised car parallels the promised ministry you are expecting. Both are deception (the frog).

You need to be fed and well established before you go into ministry. G.o.d, not people, gives ministry. Once you are established in Christ and know who you are, with a full appreciation of your giftings and empowered by the Holy Spirit, you can minister out of overflow.

The fact that the frog is bound means it is losing its power, hold, influence over your life (see Bound). However, though you think you have moved on from past disappointment (from false promises), G.o.d is warning you that this could possibly surface again. The fact that the frog's legs are bound means that it is partially dealt with, not fully dealt with. Hobbling along the drain represents a barren place, not being effective, no anointing (see Drain).

The chicken leg strapped to the frog indicates food or being fed. Uncooked means it is not yet ready for consumption (see Uncooked). It has not yet pa.s.sed through the fire of testing.

The birds being black means they are demonic (see Birds). Should you climb too early into ministry, G.o.d is showing you your vulnerability and what the devil will do (see Tree). It could also represent the devil waiting till you are at the peak of your ministry before bringing you down.

This is a warning from G.o.d. It is a good dream. It shows that G.o.d is concerned for your welfare, and He doesn't want His plan for your life jeopardized or derailed because of your childhood disappointments (see Jer. 29:11). You are vulnerable to men (father-figures) who make empty promises and cause you to suffer the heartache of disappointment.

He wants you to slow down in your aspirations for ministry. To rush ahead of G.o.d and His plans for your life will lead to catastrophe as the enemy will have a field day/feast. G.o.d does not want you to step into a role beyond your depth. When the timing is right, He will open the door, and His timing is perfect.

Please do not be fearful, for G.o.d has not given us a spirit of fear. For through this, G.o.d will give you the gift of discernment and wisdom.

39. Roofing Dream Floor, Sitting, Chair, Playing, Toys, Roof, Leaking, Dripping, Doing Nothing, Water, Upset, Anger, Cleaning, Gutter, Dry Gra.s.s, Dirt, Muck, Hole, Flowing Water, Living Room I was in the living room at my friend Tom's house. Tom was sitting on the floor. Jean (his wife) was sitting on a lounge chair. Caleb (their son) was playing. There were other people in the room in the background (X4). I don't know who they were. I was playing with Caleb. He showed me his room full of toys. Then I looked at Tom; the roof was leaking with water. It was dripping on Tom. He sat there and did nothing about it. I looked over at Jean in the chair. She looked upset and angry.

In the next scene, I went onto the roof of the house. I was cleaning the gutter. It had dry gra.s.s, dirt and muck in it. I cleaned it and discovered water flowing over a big hole, which led into the living room.

Interpretation: The picture given by this dream shows Tom on the floor and Jean in the lounge chair. This seems to indicate that Tom is not in the place of authority at home. Jean is in authority and possibly puts Tom down (see Sitting). This wrongful authority structure is choking the Holy Spirit and blocking His flow into the household.

The Holy Spirit is coming in, but not correctly, which should be via the door. There are blockages in Tom. He is stumbling, perhaps due to strongholdsa” self-esteem, unworthinessa”which may be blocking him because of past failure. It appears Jean doesn't have respect or trust in him (because of past sin/ failure?). Jean may need to forgive Tom for something so that Tom can walk in his G.o.d-given authority. Tom will also then be released from a burden which keeps him from taking his rightful role.

Caleb playing with a room full of toys seems to indicate that he is spoiled (see Toys). His future is at risk because he is not really learning the ways of G.o.d from Tom.

The leak suggests that the Holy Spirit is coming in via a wrong way, and Jean finds this offensive (see Water). This may be because Jean sees a character flaw in Tom, which he appears to be doing nothing about, thus discrediting him in her eyes. The fact that this has been revealed to you means that there is a lesson here for you. It may also be true that Tom has a blind spot and cannot see it. Tom may be able to take this revelation from you (please pray for receptivity). [This dream has application in all households, particularly where the husband is more spiritual than the wife. If the man does not provide security through leaders.h.i.+p and finances, he can be despised in his wife's eyes, especially if his emphasis is the spiritual over the practical.]

Tom may need to deal with some wood, hay, and stubble (the gra.s.s, dirt, and muck in the dream) to make himself a better husband (see 1 Cor. 3:12). We can be anointed to help others and not help ourselves or deal with ourselves. A bad leak is created through our flaws.

G.o.d's grace has revealed this, so that means G.o.d wants to bring His plans to fruition. Tom is praying about his calling and a door to open, which is G.o.d's answer. G.o.d is saying that Tom needs to rectify things at home before other ministry will open to him. G.o.d doesn't want Tom to come unstuck later because of a faulty home structure.

40. Two Pairs of Shoes Dream Shoes I saw two pairs of shoes. One pair were the shoes I wear to work (in Christian ministry); the other the shoes I wear around home.

Interpretation: G.o.d is telling you not to have two different walks. He is saying what you do at work in the ministry should be the same at home (see Shoes).

41. Spider in the Slippers Dream Slippers, Dark Blue, Floor, Spider My husband is away a lot preaching the Gospel. I saw his dark blue slippers on the floor, and a spider crawled into one of them.

Interpretation: This is a warning that when your husband is away (empty slippers) the enemy is going to try and hinder his effectiveness of moving in the Holy Spirit by attacking the home (his foundation). The Scripture that comes to mind is First Samuel 30:1-6 (see Slippers, Spider, Floor, and Blue).

There is an additional warning that, when your husband returns from ministry, the enemy will try to attack him in the home.

42. Burning Wallet Dream Wallet, Fire, Friend, Fence, Death, Corner, North I set fire to my wallet. I was with a friend (though I didn't see him).

My wallet was suspended on a post and wire fence. I had the knowledge that I was doing it in respect of a friend who had died. I was on the corner of Smith Road and the Main North Road. I was worried afterward that all my identification details were destroyed.

Interpretation: Your friend is Christ (see Friend). The fence is a demarcation point; it is the separation between the old self and the new self (see Fence). This is reinforced by the fact that you were burning the wallet in respect of a friend who had died (see Wallet). That friend was your old self (see Friend).

You happen to be on the corner of Smith and Main North Roads, which indicates you will soon be moving around the corner from being lost in the crowd (Smith) to taking a closer walk with Christ who resides in the sides of the north (see North and Corner). The fact that it is not about money, but rather about ident.i.ty is again reinforced by your concern for your ident.i.ty details and not the loss of your money after the event. However, it is fair to say that this transition will cost you everything.

43. Terrorist Dream Terrorists, Gallows, Hanging, Soldiers, Machine Gun, Wounded, Bullets I saw some terrorists on a gallows about to be hung. At the same time, I heard commentary about how these terrorists were planning to escape and then attack. I watched as one of the terrorists rolled off the platform with an accompanied explosion, and then I heard gun fire. There were wounded soldiers sitting in pews looking on; then one of the soldiers (he had his hand in a sling) got up and fired his machine gun back at the terrorists above the heads of the soldiers in the pews.

I had some concerns that he may have hit others in the pews because he was careless in shooting back.

Interpretation: This dream is a significant warning. It speaks of potential problems created by false converts (the terrorists), who do not truly come to the cross of Christ. The gallows represent the cross and avoidance of the hangman's noose says that they have not truly died at Calvary and thus avoid its demands on the human heart (see Hanging). These are seen as terrorists because they are used by the enemy to sow discord and strife in the Body of Christ (see Terrorists). They are the equivalent to the tares in Christ's parable of the wheat and tares (see Matt. 13:25, 27-28).

The explosion speaks about an incident that is threatening to flare up, which will be followed by words fired back and forth (see Explosion and Shooting). Soldiers in the pews show the Church as G.o.d's spiritual army (see Soldier). They are shown to be wounded because they have not fully dealt with the hurts and disappointments of the past (see Wound).

Wounded people are more susceptible to the attacks of the enemy and are p.r.o.ne to react without due regard for the welfare of the rest of the Body of Christ.

The soldier with a sling firing back is possibly a picture of a leader who is not fully whole himself reacting to the words that follow the incident; this has potential to hurt others within the ministry.

This is a warning to be aware of false converts, a reminder to work through past hurts, and also a caution not to react to everything that is said in and around the church.

44. Coded Numbers Message Dream Code, Numbers, Two, Three, Four, Six, Seven, Eight, Display, Corner, Reservoir, Smart, Roundabout In my dream I had someone whom I loved a great deal, but whom I hardly ever saw. We both had a set of numbers and the numbers were a matching set. My numbers were six, seven, eight, and his were something that went with them, but I can't remember them. So what I was going to do was to post/display my numbers so that he would see them when he went on a certain road. I was going to put them up at the corner of Reservoir Road and Smart Road at the roundabout.

Interpretation: This dream relates to your relations.h.i.+p with your husband. You complement one another. It appears that you and your husband do not spend enough time together. It also appears that G.o.d is communicating to your husband through this dream. Your numbers are six, seven, and eight. These particular numbers in this order are a good combination for they say that you are progressing spiritually. They say that you were in the flesh (six), are moving to Divine perfection (seven), and are ready for a new beginning (eight) spiritually (see Six, Seven, and Eight). What they spell out is a code for your husband to decipher.

It is possible that your husband's numbers are four, three, and two which would be the complementary numbers to complete the order, or round to ten.

This combination, in this context, would mean that he now has rule (four) and will experience resurrection (three) through your unity (two) (see Two, Three, and Four).

The corner of Reservoir and Smart Roads is also significant because it says shortly (corner) you will get to the wisdom (smart) of G.o.d (reservoir) and turn around (roundabout) (see Reservoir, Corner, and Roundabout). This is a fantastic dream!

45. Shoplifter Dream Shoplifter, Vase, Service Clerk, Supermarket I saw someone stealing vases in a supermarket. He picked up a vase and put it upside down in a carry-bag. I could see four vases in the bag. He then ducked down in the queue at the checkout, and when no one was watching, he made his way through the checkout undetected. Once outside the supermarket, the shoplifter gave the bag to another man waiting outside in the mall.

I spoke to the store clerk about what I had seen, and he said they needed evidence. He then said he didn't mind if I raised the alarm because any attention given to the would-be shoplifters would give him a break from serving when the crowd came to watch what was going on.

Interpretation: The shoplifter is the devil (see Thief). The vases are peoplea”potential bearers of the glory of G.o.d (see Vase). They are turned upside down because now they no longer are able to be used to carry the Spirit of G.o.d.

The supermarket is the church, and the store clerk is the shepherd of that flock (see Shop and Store Clerk). Unfortunately, this shepherd appears to be a hireling (one that is there for the pay only) because he does not carry genuine concern for the welfare of those for whom he is responsible (see John 10:12-13). The person in the mall is a religious spirit.

This dream is a picture of how the cults are used by the devil to rob G.o.d of His servants by luring them away from truth. The problem is that the members do not have a solid foundation in the Word of G.o.d and, therefore, are unable to discern truth from error. The cults typically have a distorted view of the deity of Christ, the Trinity, the devil, and h.e.l.l, and they also discount the power of the Holy Spirit for today.

46. Dry and Hard Pizza Dream Pizza, Dry, Cooking, Lady, Red, Wife, Fighting, Red-headed girl, Scratched Face, Wrestling, Kicking I ordered a pizza. Although it took a long time to cook (about an hour and a half), I waited patiently. When it was ready, it looked dry and hard. I said to the lady politely that I didn't want the pizza. She was very rude, so I threatened to throw the pizza at her. Then I made a complaint in private to my senior pastor. He said he would look after it. He went away and came back with the same pizza. I was upset and then walked out of the room (I believe it was red).

Then, I saw my wife fighting with a red-headed girl where I had ordered the pizza (I believe in the front foyer). My wife's face was scratched. Then, I found myself on the floor wrestling and trying to hit her (the red-headed girl). She was trying to avoid me by kicking me with her feet.

Interpretation: This dream relates to your relations.h.i.+p with your church. The lady is the church (see Woman). It looks like you are waiting to complete the will of G.o.d (food, pizza), and you don't get what you expected dished up (see Food). This could refer to your area of involvement or the role you are expecting because you appear to wait patiently for it. What you do get is without life, hard, dry, and perhaps a religious mindseta”you know, the ”this is the way things operate around here” att.i.tude. This is seen in the speed to cook the pizza, which is equivalent to a ”slow to respond to needs” att.i.tude. Cooking also speaks of works of the flesh (see Cook).

When you are disgruntled and say something about what is dished up, it appears the church turns on you. You don't agree with something that is said or the way things are done and you tell someone (this is the threat of throwing the pizza away). This could also be a threat to leave the church.
