Dreams That Changed the World

Charity Kayembe's picture

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.

General George Patton developed effective military strategies by listening to his dreams. His commanding officers were accustomed to hearing from him at 3:00AM with new battle plans he instructed them to implement. It was said that he actually trusted his dreams more than he trusted his soldiers' intel on the ground. By honoring his dreams and acting on them, he became one of the most successful military figures in US history.

Larry Page, founder of Google, had a dream when he was a 22-year-old grad student at Stanford. In the dream he managed to download the entire internet onto his computer (!) and then carefully examined the links between sites. He awoke, spent a couple of hours writing down the connections he saw in his dream, then spent the next year working it out and perfecting it. This was the algorithm for the original Google search engine. By honoring his dreams and acting on them, he became one of the wealthiest people in the world.

Jamaican Dreaming

We share many more inspiring examples of creativity, inventions and scientific discoveries received through dreams in Chapter 8 of our book. What I’m excited to share with you today is that I just met one of these creative dreamers at our last seminar! Carol Robinson attended our conference in Kingston and shared with me how God has been speaking to her through dreams for years. It struck me that the process she described is actually similar to Larry Page’s Google revelation, in that there is a flash of insight in her night visions that she then works out upon awakening.

For example, the Lord will give her the name of an herb or a description of its benefits in a dream at night, and then she will research it during the day. God may give her a unique medium in which to display it or an extraction method. I love that she says it’s actually a two-way conversation with God over a period of time after she receives the dream as He continues to teach and show her things, working together with her to get a new item ready for the market.

I was grateful when she gave me a bottle of her latest dream creation! Salisbury Repellent Gel is an all-natural insect repellent that is made entirely from essential oils with no chemicals. Not only does it work, it smells nice too. What else would we expect from a heaven-inspired product? Thank you, Carol, for listening to your dreams and blessing us with the revelations you received through them!

As we can see from the various examples above, God cares about what we care about. Whether you’re a soldier, software engineer, mother, musician or mechanic, He wants to help you with whatever you’ve got going on. He knows all the answers and He already has the solution you’re looking for. When you go to sleep ask Him for His perspective and insight on your problem or project and expect to receive His wisdom and counsel. He is the giver of every good gift and He can’t wait to bless you through your dreams!

How Do YOU Know? Digital Videos

by Mark Virkler | 12 MP4 Sessions

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this series.

Can I succeed like others have? What do I need to do? How do I go about it?

How to Speak in Tongues Video Download

How to Speak in Tongues Video Download

Speaking in tongues involves a miracle wherein you yield your vocal cords to the flow of the Holy Spirit, trusting that God is forming the syllables you speak into a language. It may be a language of men or of angels (1 Cor. 13:1). You choose to speak (Acts 2:4) but you choose not to form the syllables consciously, and instead let the Spirit give the utterance (Acts:2:4). The goal of this short teaching is to help people understand the part they need to play and the part the Holy Spirit plays when it comes to the miracle of speaking in tongues.

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

God is our Dream Maker! He has placed a dream within the heart of each of us that only He can supernaturally bring to pass. God gave an impossible dream to Abraham, our Father of Faith. In this powerful message, Mark will show you how God filled the five senses of Abraham’s spirit with His truth and birthed a miracle out through him. And you will learn how you can walk in the same faith while you hear, see, ponder, speak and act out of the Father’s initiative, allowing Him alone to fill the senses of your spirit.

Mark and Charity have teamed up again to create a training series on how to easily manifest the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. It took us several years to break through all the confusion, and present a clear, simple understanding of how to release the nine-fold manifestation of the Holy Spirit everywhere you go and with everyone you touch. It is not hard! It can’t be since these are gifts of the Holy Spirit, not things you have to work for.
