Prophetic Series - Day 18

By

Hello everyone, I welcome you to another day in this Prophetic Series. We have started looking at the Major ways prophecies manifest. We have looked at IMPRESSIONS and yesterday, we have looked at the sources of Dreams. Today, we will continue from there. First of all, I want you to know that Dreams and Visions are very peculiar to the SEERS and when Dreams and Visions comes from the God Realm, THE GIFT OF DISCERNING OF SPIRITS is the major gift of the Spirit that make this realm a possibility. Let us talk about TYPES OF DREAMS
The type of dreams under consideration here are not pictures formed by your imagination. This is not talking about what you want to become in the future like our Motivational Speakers will say. There are two types of Dreams

 1. VIRTUAL REALITY DREAMS: this occur when we are in sleep but we are awake in our minds. You are asleep but it is as though you are awake and watching a movie. Example is Dan. 2: 21-45.

 2. REALITY DREAM: Unlike Virtual Reality Dreams, you are actively involved in this type of dream. You are not watching a movie; in this one, you are directly involved. It is a real experience. Even though your body can go to sleep, the spirit world doesn't sleep. There are many Biblical examples: God appearing to King Abimelech in a dream Gen. 20, Angel appearing to Joseph and so on. Spiritual warfare in the dream comes under this category. Many times you can wake up and the bruises from the battle will still be fresh in your memory. Not only that, the pain may still be very real. Dreams are multifaceted and have many purposes. The book of Job speaks of dreams that keep us from hell. Job 33:14-18. It means God can use dreams to caution us from taking wrong steps. Also, He can show us things that will happen through dreams. There are many folks today that their life events play out in dreams. They just sought of act out their dreams.

IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT DREAMS
 A. Not all dreams are from God. We have already talked about Sources of Dreams yesterday. We can hear from the other sources also through dreams.
B. Colours, numbers and other symbolic occurrences in dreams are very important to the interpretation of the dream. But ultimately, interpretation belongs to the Lord.
C. A good way for us to increase our supernatural dream life is to lay a notebook or tape recorder by our bed before going to sleep. As soon as you have a dream, write it down or record all of the details that you can remember including the way you felt about the dream while you are having it. Hab. 2:3. The aspect of interpreting dreams will come after we have looked at Visions.

B. GOD'S STILL SMALL VOICE
 God sometimes get prophetic words across to us through THE STILL SMALL VOICE within our spirits. This is heard most times as a passing thought, sudden impression, or internal 'sense' of something that God is saying. The Still Small Voice is illustrated in the book of First Kings 19:11-13. Increased level of discernment is needed in this regard or else, you will mistake the Still Small Voice to be 'your own thought'.

 C. THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES. The Bible is a Prophetic book loaded with many 'Thus saith the Lord'. I don't mean literal. From Genesis to Revelation, God has said many things that relate to us as long as this planet exist. He can highlight a verse or a story that relate to you. 2 Tim. 3:16-17.
Rhema is called the quickening of a portion of the logos (the entire Bible) to our hearts especially at the time of need. I don't know about you but, God has spoken to me many times through the pages of the Bible. I may not be able to explain but, you can be reading the Bible and you can see a direct relationship between what happened back then and your present situation in Lagos, Nigeria. This is why you mustn't just read the Bible to fulfil all righteousness. Invite the author of the book to open the book to you. The Bible is the book of CODED TRUTHS. It is the Holy Spirit that unlocks it. That's why Eph. 1:17-21 must be your regular prayer. Many truths in the Bible are hidden though, many are also very conspicuous. This is why God's Words are new everyday. You might have read a portion of the scriptures for ages but, you can casually just read the same portion and new truths floods your heart so much that you may almost doubt whether you have read that place before.  Another thing is this THE BIBLE, AS FAR AS THIS PLANET IS CONCERNED CONTAINS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF PROPHECIES. EVERY OTHER PROPHETIC WORD THAT COME FROM WHATEVER SOURCE MUST BE SUBJECTED TO THE AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE. This is why we should be WELL GROUNDED IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BIBLE BEFORE WE ENGAGE THE PROPHETIC REALM.
Let me stop here today and continue tomorrow.

Prayer of Enquiry

By
PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

By
We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

By
Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
