0:42 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. As we're doing the CDs on finding Annoying God, swilling and through a life today, I'm going to, however, the next expect through which God speaks to us and reveals his will and plan and guides us in the direction that He wants us to go, and that is through dreams. If you see in the New Testament again you see how God spoke to the wise men and warned them through dreams to go without meeting head. And even when you talk about the time when Pilot was about to you know, give the nod for Jesus to be crucified.

1:33 His wife comes along and says, I had a disturbing dream that you should not do that. So you realize that God used the dream to tell them what was the right thing to do or something that they should not do. And you see even through the Old Testament, whether it was somebody who honored the Lord like Joseph, or whether it was somebody like the Pharaoh who did not know the Lord also God dreams, or whether it was King Nebuchadneza who did not honor the Lord him when he got dreams. But you see that when the people who did not know the Lord God dreams, or even when they talk about the Compara and the Baker, they also got dreams.

2:20 When the person who does not know the Lord, when they get a dream, you know they need somebody who was connected with a Lord to interpret the dream for them. Right, Joseph interpreted the dream for the Compara and the Baker. Joseph interpreted the dream for the Pharaoh, to Daniel interpreted the dream for the king. Right. So when when when you are connected with the Lord, you have that direct access because you have the same Holy spirit in you, so you are able to understand what is God trying to tell you or the direction he wants you to take, or the more he wants you to make.

2:59 He's going to give you the clarity. And when a person is not in the Lord also they make it dreams. But God can use somebody who's connected with God, okay, somebody in the spirit who can interpret the dream for them. So by the end of this you realize that God still speaks, God still guides, and God still teaches us and shows us and reveals to us his will and the decision that we may need to make in our life through dreams. All right, So one of the things you have to remember is you have to pay attention to your dreams.

3:39 My question to you is are you paying attention to your dreams? Now? I'm not saying that every dream under the sun is from the Lord right. In fact, you can probably go back and check one of the episodes, the two fiftieth episode that I had. I had a special guest called Hannah Elizabeth Matthews, a singer and songwriter from India. Okay, can probably scrawl down and check that episode where we actually also discussed about dreams because she shared from her life how the Lord showed to her through dreams in many instances and revealed what was installed.

4:14 She told about one of the moments when God was leading her to go to a different location and settle down. You know, she was sharing how every detail was given to her through dream. Right. She was saying that the exact kind of her location, the exact kind of her house, and the door and all the details were all revealed to her through a dream. And I was seeing this in my own life as well. Ever since I was young, God has spoken through me and showed me things through dreams, and it has been one of those things that God has used to guide me and led me in many things in my life as well.

4:56 So today I encourage you to pay attention to your dreams. Don't make let your dreams. God can use your dreams to guide you. God can use dreams to direct your steps. He did it in the Bible times. There's different scriptures I shared with you. He can do it again because He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. I want to just close with this example of an incident that happened with my friend. Okay, to be honest, this friend of mine and I, though we are friends, we have a lot of differences in our theological opinions.

5:29 And yes, the thing, especially when it comes to the theological aspect, he's the kind of person who does not believe in the prophetic. He's the kind of person who doesn't believe in you know, the dreams or visions. And we have had so many arguments and debates over the past many years, and then I came to appoint him, like, you know what, I'm not going to waste my time just trying to prove to somebody who doesn't believe in these things. So what actually happened was he was dating somebody and they wanted, you know, sign from the Lord or forgot to direct them and things let that on, whether you know they should continue it, in which direction they should go, and all these things.

6:12 So one particular day, he gets a certain dream, okay with the specifics that he's traveling from the place he was doing his curriculum to his hometown and he goes to this place, whey where a certain kind of clothing, he has a backpack, and he buys certain kind of gifts, and he goes to meet this person that they were he was dating, and so he goes there. This is the dream. He has more details in this dream. And the next day he happens to have a conversation with her and she was like, hold your horse, and she said, you know what word to word?

7:04 This was the exact dream I had last night as well. Both of them were shocked because this is not a guy who believed in these dreams and things. Letther he was a guy was against all these things. And he himself was shocked and he said, John, I just can't believe it. How is it that word the word? I had the same dream and worth the word She had the same dream, and it was as if the Lord was connecting us together through this dream. Now, I wanted to share that to let you guys know that God can use dreams to show you his plan, will and purpose, and he's still doing it even in the twenty first century, and he can still speak to you through dreams and they can amaze you.

8:00 Like this friend of mine, who didn't even believe in how God can speak through dreams. God used dreams to show that he still speaks. That's the God we serve, right, He's a God who can still do wonders. So today I want you to take the limits off and say, God, I believe that you can still speak to me through dreams. Listen, I'm not asking you to run after dreams. I'm not asking you to pursue dreams. But what I'm saying is be open. If God wants to speak to you through dreams, why do you want to close that door.

8:34 Let Him speak to you through dreams. Allow him to guide you through those things. I'm sure that it will all play out beautifully for the extension of His kingdom. I'll see you again next in tomorrow's episode, but I'll be talking to you on how God speaks to us through visions. God, bless you. You've been listening to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.
