Satan is under our feet!

 Romans 16:19 makes me so happy when I think of you. Everyone knows the testimony of your deep commitment to faith. So, I want you to become scholars of all good and beautiful and stay pure and innocent regarding evil. 

Rom 16:20  And the God of peace will swiftly pound Satan to a pulp under your feet! And the fantastic favour of our Lord Jesus will surround you—the Passion Translation.

Wow, wow, and wow some more! What a great God we serve. He is kind, gracious, and eternally loving. Recently, I had a dream that revealed how much the Godhead is rooting for us to walk as overcomers in Christ.

In my dream, I was transported to the second floor of this shopping centre. Near a blue wall, a man stood in the middle of the second floor. Instantly, I knew it was an Angel, so I went to him and asked a question. I wanted to understand how he deals with Satanic attacks. He said to me, ever so cheerful, that he doesn't ever think about it. He went on to speak, "that if Satan does attack any angel, they let him know that he (Satan) is under their feet."

I was surprised by the response. The angel went on to suggest that I do the same. He was ever so cheerful. I told him I appreciated the insight. After our chat, he walked away. 

Why is satan under our feet?

I confessed this truth out loud for the next few days, and the results were stunning. Whenever negative thoughts, emotions, and feelings arose, I would say, "Satan, you are under my feet," and instantly would feel the peace of God manifest in my life. Why did the peace of God manifest in my life? The answer is in Ephesians 1:17-22.

I pray that the Father of Glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him. 

I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light until you experience the complete revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God's glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones! 

I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God's power made available to you through faith. Then your life will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power 

that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the highest honour and supreme authority in the heavenly realm! 

And now he is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is praised, not only in this age but also in the age to come! 

He alone is the leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has placed everything under Jesus Christ's authority and ranked him the highest of all. 

And now we, his church, are his body on the earth and that which fills him who is being filled by it! 

We are his body, the church. We are sitting in heavenly places in Christ. The Apostle Paul goes even further with this revelation from the Holy Spirit. He makes it personal to our lives, not just in a corporate setting.

He raised us with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ! Eph 2:6

"My old identity has been co-crucified with the Messiah and no longer lives, for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God, who loves me so much that he gave himself for me and dispensed his life into mine! " Galatians 2:20.

It's time we started singing in our hearts that we went to the enemy's camp, and I took back what belonged to me. He's under our feet, satan, you are under our feet! Praise God.

He is so kind!

 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock,

In the secret places of the cliff,

Let me see your [c]face,

Let me hear your voice;

For your voice is sweet,

And your face is lovely." Songs of Solomon 2:14

There are moments in our lives when Yahweh reveals one of the greatest truths about Yeshua. He presented truths about love, kindness, and grace in my dream. In the dream, Yeshua encouraged my wife and me. He appeared as a guy named David. Romans 1:3. He walks with me and my wife Lynda down this river embankment. We stop in this storage area. Lynda walked inside to organise the place as usual in situations like this. I saw the Son of David's excitement as he watched her clean the area.

I told Yeshua, "I can organise things just as well as she can". Anybody that knows me knows that I am living in a delusional land!

Yeshua turned to me with a cheeky grin and said, "Alright then, show me what you can do?" Oh boy, I knew the ruse was up, and He started to laugh. He thought I was funny. We all continued our walk on the river embankment until we came to this wooden picnic table. Yeshua and I sat down together. I started talking to him about everything that was in my heart. He just listened to me, and I had his complete attention. I thought you were the most handsome and kind person I have ever met. When He looked at me with those eyes, you knew you were looking at the eyes of love. Yeshua made me feel like I was the most important person in the world! End of the dream.

I have found the One whom my soul Loves!

Yeshua spoke to me about spending time with Him in the secret place of His love. He said that our encounters together are essential. Psalm 91.

The Holy Spirit wants the Body of Christ to get this truth about love that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit wants to lavish on us. The more we spend time with the Godhead, the more they pour their love into our hearts. It requires engagement on our part. The reason why the dream was so incredible is that Yeshua adores us so much! Did you get that? He adores us! When we focus on intimacy with the Lord, the revelation that we are His focus day and night. It sets in motion a passion for Yeshua that will captivate your heart. You see, the more profound the relationship with the Lord gets, the deeper the spiritual experience we will have in our daily lives. We do not chase after experiences for the sake of experiences. We are chasing after the Godhead with all our hearts; encounters with the Lord will happen when we do that.

The Son of David

In the New Testament, Yeshua is called the 'Son of David.' I realised that when he appears in dreams or visions as David, it can mean that he imparts love, mercy, blessing, and grace into our lives.

The crowd that went ahead of him and that followed him was shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!" Matt 21:9

If the Lord appears as a person named David in our dreams, it could be that Yahweh wants to reassure us that he is always walking with us. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Keep that in mind! It is encouraging to know that he loves us that much.

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord—Hosanna in the highest heaven.

Blessings!

 

He awakens my ear morning by morning!

 Adonay Yahweh will teach me what to say, so I will know how to encourage weary people; morning by morning, he will wake me like a student. Isaiah 50:4 (NOG)

We are going on a spiritual journey into the mysteries of God. Let me share a dream I received at the end of December last year. In the dream, I watched myself float in the air in front of this house. I kept hearing myself say, "He awakens my ear morning by morning." The dream ended.

We should always open our spiritual eyes and ears to Yahweh's ways and mysteries. One of the mysteries in Christ that I am beginning to learn about is the living letters of the Hebrew alphabet. In the book. "Friends of Eber" by Aaron Smith. Aaron and his team write a reference guide to the living letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

I will focus on two of the living letters: Dalet and Lamed.

The Letter Dalet:

I am grateful to the Spirit of Wisdom for revealing the importance of the living letter Dalet. One of our roles is being a priest unto the Holy Spirit in His temple, our bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19.

Dalet is a door, a pathway, a gate, a portal to realms, dimensions, dreams, and visions; it is always listening for the supply of Heaven.  

It's interesting about Dalet being a pathway, a gate, or a portal to the realms into Heaven. One of the many ways that Yahweh speaks to us is through dreams and visions. Acts 2:17-21, Numbers 12:6. The fantastic thing is that Jesus wants us to come up higher and deeper into the realms of the Kingdom of God.

Now let us focus on the Hebrew letter Lamed:

 

Lamed is to learn and teach with a heart that understands actual knowledge, to call into action. We want Yahweh to teach us His ways. The Seven Spirits of God will help us understand God's ways and train and teach us the new things Yahweh intends to reveal to our hearts. Remember, Jesus only did what he heard and saw our Father doing. John 5:19-20

Lamed represents teaching through the experience of the unseen realm as well as the natural realm. We need to be able to learn and receive from both. 

16 Therefore, we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, the inward man is renewed daily. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with my eye. Psalm 32:8

Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

Finally, it is crucial to understand Yahweh's love for us. He wants to share his secrets, not hide them from us because it creates a spiritual hunger in our hearts to pursue a relationship with the Godhead. They want to call after us in the cool of the day, which is usually the morning!

Blessings!

Driving Home!

 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter,

But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Proverbs 25:2

Driving home from picking our son up from school, I noticed that things had changed around the area that I lived in. New houses are being built daily. The village's landscape is changing to accommodate more traffic created. Driving towards the RAF base, I realised how much the base had changed. At least the town I live in is familiar to me. It always seems to stay the same! 

The same is said about our Christian journey. We like things to be the same. It brings comfort and reassurance of being safe and sound. However, it is time for new things to come from the Holy Spirit. 

I love when the seasons change! It brings a sense that new beginnings are going to emerge. You feel the shift in atmosphere as summer changes into fall. The kids go back to school from their summer break. The temperature gets more relaxed as the night increases and the daytime decreases. 

I believe that as in the natural, so in the spiritual. 1 Corinthians 15:46-49. We are starting to move into the new and profound things of the Kingdom of God. We are learning new mysteries from the Godhead that will transform into their image and likeness through love and relationship.

Are we ready for a change?

We have to count the cost of moving into the new things of the spirit. It will be challenging because we are so used to how things are in our Christian walk at times. The Holy Spirit wants to release spiritual hunger in our palate for fresh revelation to come into our hearts and minds. It takes determination to buck the trend of familiarity.

Are we ready for a change? I sure hope so! You see, this change is about maturing in Christ! We can't stay babies forever. It's time to grow up! Hebrews 5:14.

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to [a]perfection, not laying the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment again. 3 And this [b]we will do if God permits. Hebrews 6:1-3.

We want to enter into the mysteries YVHV intends to release through Christ, but we must trust what he will show us. He will show us new and profound insights that we have never seen before. These insights were hidden before the foundation of the world. We have to make a choice to want to leave the elementary principles of Christ. We need the courage to move on into the new, captivated by what God reveals through His word in our hearts and minds. 

As with my drive home, I'm receiving the upgrades from the Holy Spirit about the new things in the Kingdom of God that he is revealing to me, which are life-changing, challenging and exciting. It is changing my perspective on how we minister to the Godhead as kings and priests. Rev. 1:5-6

Dreams, Dreams, and more dreams. Part 2!

'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,

That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh.

Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

Your young men shall see visions,

Your old men shall dream dreams. Acts 2:17

According to the above bible verse, God has made it clear that the plan is to pour out the His Spirit. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit will result in more visions and dreams for all mankind! 

Let's look at two men in the bible who were dreamers and understood their dreams. The first one is Joesph, and the second one is Mary's husband Joseph. The first Joseph is in the Old Testament and the second Joseph is in the New Testament. Each one was used by God to interpret dreams for themselves and for others.

Let's start with the first Joseph. As a young man, the Spirit of God revealed his purposes for Joseph through his dreams. Here is a sample of his dream: 

 

Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more. He told them, "Listen to this dream I had: We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it." His brothers asked him, "Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?" And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.

Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

 When he told his father and brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?" His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind. Genesis 37: 5-11.

Principles of Dream Interpretation!

Here are some principles of interpreting Joseph's childhood dream to help us understand our dreams. I want to thank Mark Virkler and Charity Virkler Kayembe for the excellent book, "Hearing God Through Your Dreams". I will use their approach into understanding Joseph's dream and how it can help us gain insights into our dreams.

Joseph’s Childhood Dreams (Genesis 37:1-11) Answers by Mark Virkler.

vs. 6 Do you believe Joseph showed indiscretion in sharing his dream? Yes, I believe so.

What lesson is in this, concerning sharing our dreams? We should be sensitive to the proper people and time when we share our dreams.

vss. 7-9 Note what each of the following items in Joseph’s dream represent:

Joseph’s sheaf = Joseph

Brother’s sheaf = brothers

Sun = father

Moon = mother

Bowing down = bowing down

Eleven stars = 11 brothers

Is the language literal, symbolic or both? mostly symbolic

vss. 8,10,11 What is the response? Hatred, rebuke, and jealousy comes from the brothers, His father, however kept the sayings in mind.

This negative response may be another indicator that Joseph shared his dreams with indiscretion. Gen. 42:6-9 Note the accuracy of the interpreted dream. Years later his brothers did bow down before him.

What truths concerning dreams and visions have you discovered from the answers you have given? Are there additional insights? God spoke through dreams, using mostly symbolism mixed with a bit of literality. Discretion should be exercised when sharing dreams. It may take years before dreams are fulfilled.

Now let's us look at a dream from Mary's husband Joseph.

Joseph’s Dream (Matthew 1:20-25) 

Notice that the background to this dream experience is that Joseph is considering how to resolve a problem in his life. 

vs. 20 Who appeared to him in a dream? An angel of the Lord.

vss. 20-23 What does the angel do? Delivers a message to him.

vs. 24 What is Joseph’s response to the dream? He got up and did what the angel of the Lord commanded.

What truths concerning dreams and visions have you discovered from the answers you have given? Are there additional insights?  An angel can speak to us in our dreams and give us instruction for solving life's problems. We are to act upon the instruction.

A great tool I use to work on my dreams is an app called Dream Keys by Leo and Charity Kayembe. Charity teaches a dream interpretation technique called DAESI. DAESI method is to record the Dream, Action, Emotion, Setting, and Interpretation. When we receive a dream from the Holy Spirit write down. In the dream, what was I doing? (Running from something? Hiding? Fighting?) That is the key action. In the dream, how was I feeling? (Scared? Angry? Joyful?) That is the key emotion. In our waking life, what issues is my heart processing? (What was I thinking about when I went to bed and praying for as I fell asleep?) That is the waking world setting. In the interpretation of the dream, we match up the dream's action and emotion with similar actions and emotions in our waking life which show us what area of our life the dream is speaking to, and we journal out God's message to us through the dream.

This information is just a small taste on what we can learn about dreams from the Lord. To explore the topic more checkout the websites https://www.cwgministries.org and https://www.glorywaves.org

Receiving Wisdom from God!

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright.

He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness, justice, Equity, and every good path. Proverbs 2: 6-9

 

Boy, we are witnessing a time of destruction and deception. The Bible calls this time gross darkness according to Isaiah 60 verses 1-3. We see so much destruction and deception in the world that it's time to step up and be what God has called us to be. We are not enslaved to the gross darkness but to God's freedom in manifesting His light in us to the world. Once we start stepping into the divine purpose that God put into our hearts to accomplish his will and goal, we will see people drawn to that light. We're living in the time the prophets prophesied, particularly the Prophet Isaiah, concerning our day. Is it time for us to wake up and let our light shine in the areas we are called to so people can come to that light. God is releasing such great revelation of insight into mountains of influence that we can turn the hearts of the people in each nation back to God. 

Jesus gave us a command to disciple the nations. This mandate is happening right now if we choose to accept it and not live in fear of what people will say about us as believers in Christ. 

The Fear of Man!

We must trust what the Holy Spirit says to us in this hour. We are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto Good works that God has prepared for us in advance. Ephesians 2:10. I believe the fear of man, or the fear of people's opinions can stop the promises of God from manifesting in our lives. The fact is that this happens a lot in people's lives. Fear stops us in our tracks! We must let the light of Christ manifest in us and over us, overcoming fear. The Bible tells us not to lose confidence and shrink during challenging times. Hebrews 10:32-39

As we face challenging times, we must step into God's wisdom. All we have to do is ask! I want to receive revelation from the Holy Spirit. Father God wants us to walk in divine wisdom to help us understand and discern the times we live in today. Remember, Jesus always relied on the Father's directives. He only did the things that he heard and saw the Father doing. John 5:19-20. We can live the same way, only doing what God has called us to do.
