We are always excited to hear how God meets people in their dreams and I want to encourage you with this testimony we just received from a dear pastor in Hastings, New Zealand where I taught earlier this year...

Most of us recognize King Solomon for his legendary wisdom, and we know God is the one who gave him the gift. What is often overlooked, however, is when God imparted that supernatural gift. In First Kings 3:5-15, we discover it actually happened in a dream.

We naturally expect God would have orchestrated this epic encounter during the day and we assume God would have wanted Solomon awake for such a significant event. Instead, we find the exact opposite is true, and that the entire conversation and impartation took place in a dream.

We had a wonderful time in Atlanta this past weekend teaching on how to hear from heaven all day and all night. We are grateful for the many breakthroughs and supernatural work Holy Spirit did in people’s lives and hearts as they began hearing His voice for themselves and translating the language He is speaking to them at night. Yay God!

Harriet Tubman dreamt of escape routes as she conducted the Underground Railroad. She said God spoke to her powerfully through dreams, showing her maps and helping her find safe houses to guide slaves to freedom. By honoring her dreams and acting on them, she became a hero and saved the lives of hundreds of people.

We recently discussed how to improve dream recall and several practical things we can do to begin remembering the dreams we have each night. On the other end of the spectrum, another question I’m often asked is what to do if we recall too many dreams – long epic sagas – every single night? The following email echoes this common concern, so I wanted to share the answer here as well.

"Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them!" Then Elisha prayed, "O Lord, open his eyes that he may see."  And the Lord opened the young man's eyes and he saw: the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (2 Kings 6:17)

When we have a physical injury – a stubbed toe, a broken arm or worse – we automatically assume we “should” hurt. We figure obviously we ought to be in pain, because something is physiologically wrong with us! However, sometimes our physical bodies have already healed, but the emotions surrounding the injury have not yet been addressed, which leaves the residue of pain still lingering.

I am often asked what to do if you can’t remember your dreams. It can be frustrating to know that you had a dream, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it was.

The good news is that there are several ways we can improve dream recall, including:

We have just returned to New York and are incredibly blessed by all God has done over the past two months of ministry. We continue to receive testimonies from those who joined us at the events Down Under and I can’t keep all these encouraging stories to myself!

Leo and I had a wonderful time at our last events in Australia. One team of six people came for the dreams workshop to learn how to interpret dreams for evangelism. They are going to practice all they’ve learned together, mastering the skill of dream work. Once they are fluent in the picture language God speaks at night they’ll head to the New Age fair near them and set up a “spiritual reading” booth to help people translate God’s messages of love and encouragement to them through their visions of the night. Awesome!
