Angels in Dreams The Ministry of the Holy Spirit
Archangel Gabriel Announced in Dreams, and Personal Studies
"Welcome to the Seer's House Where Seer's of Jesus Meet in the Secret Place"
At the same time, I am reminded that the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Joseph in his dream to announce the birth of Christ Jesus. For this reason, I have found several occasion that this Archangel, who is Gabriel, is responsible for overseeing angels in dreams. I know this is rarely spoke about, in most circles of God's Grace, but in my studies of God's Word I find this to be true.
Luke 1:19, "I am Gabriel!" I stand in the very presence of God...
As you look closely, you will also see the Archangel Gabriel appear in the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy. There are so many occasion's in the Word of God were he appears.
He also appeared to: Daniel, Enoch, Zechariah and others--even though here, our context is "Dreams from God."
In this part of my journal I wanted to share a dream I have had. The circumstances to this dream is, “I have been prayerfully seeking understanding for breakthrough in certain areas of my life. I was at a total loss on what to do.”
First, there are foundations you must do when sharing a dream that is fully Biblical upon announcement, for yourself in order to interpret.
1. What is the Central Meeting Place of the Dream? Write them down:
Interpreting the Life Side of the Cross:
Interpreting the Life Side of the Cross an Epic to believers. Dreams from God might show correction or warning, but through His Grace he will always show a Way of Life in the dream. "Are we interpreting dreams from abiding in Christ-through God's Grace?" Or, "Are we interpreting dreams from trying to obtain by works, the answer to hear from God?"
The Meeting Place is a Spiritual Formation of the Dream Theme and Where it Begins. For this reason, "The Central Meeting Place in the Dream Interpretation" should always be "In God's Grace, through Christ Jesus and His finished works." No exceptions!
I know that sounds elementary but not everyone is at the same level as the reader, or the dreamer. Make it simple for everyone to understand, and make it clear. Many people have missed this part. For example, “Joseph interpreted the dream(s) of the Baker and Butler to come to pass in three days.” We must ask ourselves, “How did he, Joseph, know what will happen in three days?” Here is the key, “The circumstances to the dream was Pharaoh’s birthday that these events would take place.” That is why I try to develop relationships with people first, before the interpretation, just as Joseph did with the Baker and Butler to give more detail. However, this is not always the case for best results, and you can give a general meaning. For this reason, most dreams are “Generally speaking” interpretations and we have not reached the benchmark of God’s best in this areas.
2.Spiritual Formation of the Dream?
(How is your dream answer to prayer from your prayer journal, or a direct resolve of your circumstances? Is your dream about your future? Your past? etc.)
This is important to ask the question, “How have you been praying about the situation?” because many people pray and do not recognize the answer in a dream, or vision. God responds with help, but, “We are mere sheep, and sheep need help to hear God’s Voice.”
A. Abimilech had a dream not to be intimate with Abraham's wife as a direct resolve to his circumstances. Interestingly, he directly heard God's voice.
B. Gideon heard a passerby speak a dream, or a word of knowledge through a dream, as a direct response to his circumstances.
Formation is important with dream interpretation as looking at the formation of a dream reveals: the structure and arrangement of a dream. In today's "Schooling of Dreams and their Interpretations" many young dreamers in training will go to someone and say, "What does this mean? What does that mean?" and an interpretation will be given without a mature interpreter asking the dreamer about the "Central place of the dream, and the Spiritual Formation of the dream."
This is where Joseph interpreted the Baker and Butlers dream so well in the meaning of the number of THREE in both dreams. It was "THREE days" until Pharaoh's birthday that the supernatural event would take place.
3. What is the Tool Bar Message of the Dream?
(I call this the toolbar message to help dreamers hear God's voice by putting all the tools of hearing God's Voice together.)
A. While each distinct Prophet in the Word of God heard God speak to them in visions, and dreams it was rich custom to carry a Scroll of how God spoke to each Prophet with them in their journey. Today, we have the Word of God to compare our dreams to, and yet--we are told to write our visions and dreams down. Think of it this way, "What would it look like if each person had a scroll of everyone's dreams, visions, and prophecies in the Body of Christ and it was mandatory to carry it for their assignment?" Creating tool bar management in this part of dream management is important and vital.
B. How is the dream established and confirmed in the mouth of two or three witnesses? We often hear this statement in the Word of God which is a good rule of thumb. It is God's best for a new student of hearing God's Voice to consider in order for them to act upon it. However, in the Gospel of Luke --this Disciple/Apostle recorded his writings by saying, "It seemed good to me and the Holy Spirit; and it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us." This statement is not new and isolated to only Disciple/Apostle Luke, as it is used among the Apostles in general in the Book of Acts.
If you have a dream you have not been praying about, it could be a future dream and the interpretation will come to pass in a future time.
For example, “Joseph dreamt as a young man he was working in the fields and his family bowed down to him.” When he told the dream everyone questioned him and grew jealous. This dream was interpreted by his family, “Should we bow down to you?” Yet, because it was not time for the dream to come to pass, great jealousy grew among the family and questions came about within God’s Divine authority. (His mom and dad.)
Write the dream down. Consider the outcome before you speak it. If you do not know the answer use your checklist first, before you share it. “What is your circumstances? What have you been praying about? Is this dream in direct response to answered prayer from God, or--if not, a future interpretation.”
4. How can act upon the dream?
When I was young in ministry 29 years ago, or so, I had a situation that I acted upon and I became a miserable failure in my own eyes. At that time I went by what the world calls "Blind faith" with no sense of direction, mentorship and more. However, as I have matured I have learned that God's Grace positions my faith to be unstoppable. For that reason, in my young pastorate, nine months after God spoke to me I would preach in a heavenly experience, I began to go into the Word of God and look for "Dream Meanings" and study them and record them down from God's Word. Yet, when I did rely upon books on dream symbols one thing they lacked for me as a young student of God's Word, "Where were the Scripture references?"
God's Word is His means of the Spirit of Grace, and we must be able to gain understanding from God's Word by the Holy Spirit. For example, "A person might come to you for a dream interpretation and as you give it they will say that they found another meaning --and, the end result is that meaning does not have a Scripture to rely upon." This is important so the young dreamer will be able to walk in God's Word and with Him in obedience to His Voice.
Dream Meanings: What Do They Mean? A Biblical View Dreams, What Do They Mean? A Biblical View
For that reason, I wrote a book “Dream Meanings: What Do They Mean? A Biblical View.”
I wrote this in the year 1998, as a young Pastor of a local fellowship, and published it in 2000, in the original Microsoft Word software package. For a long time it was free on the Internet and it had over 100,000 reads. If you, being a student at Online School of Prayer With Christ, would like a copy simply inbox me in the Campus.
If you are not a student, then register and be blessed. What sets this book out from most I have come to know and observe is, “This book has Scripture references to dream symbols--where you can actually study the word of God.” That is a biggie to me, by putting God’s Word first. Secondly, this book has other valuable information that will bless the beginner dreamer to hear God’s Voice.
If it was written in larger font, it would go over 200 pages. It has blessed many people around the world, and “Still standing the test of time.” But, I only use my books --not as a point of sale, but to build relationships in the Body Christ, the way it should be.
Feature Dream & Interpretation: Dream Message,
“You are coming into a time of continuing personal schooling of the ministry of the Holy Spirit to work with angels to bring you God’s Grace in your life. The blockage you are warring against is not the enemy, but how to receive what I have given and already overcome for you. Enter into the day of receiving through my Grace, by working with angels in my Word so that you will enter into My joy that I have for you, says the Spirit of Grace and Council. I have already opened My heavens, you cannot re-do what My Son has already done. Harvest what has already been accomplished through My Grace at your command, by My Spirit and angels I have ordained for you to work with. You do not pray for what I have already purchased for you to receive. Again, you harvest My hand and purchased work by your command in My Father’s Grace, Says the Lord.”
Dream Begins:
In my dream my current home was built inside my childhood home. As I looked outside I realized that in my front yard, had a blockage that was causing a damn in the neighborhood too. As I looked around, my house sat upon a high hill and I noticed that my front yard turned into a shopping mall where the parking lots were being flooded as well and nobody could come into the Mall.
At the same time, I was speaking to my boss that I would not be into work because I could not --because of the damn. (In real life, I have been sick and could not go into work.) My boss was more than understanding, and stayed on the phone with me. I began to observe the waters, and waited for them to subside.
However, I noticed that a woman inspector came (The Spirit of Wisdom) and said in the streets, “The Governor (Holy Spirit) has sent me to tell you to unblock the blockage and drain the blocked area.”
In my dream, I began to go to the place where my front yard was blocked causing a back up and the woman arrived to the place, with me. (The Spirit of Wisdom) It was at this direct time the woman said to two people standing by, “Open up the blockage now.”
(The ministry of angels:The Spirit of Knowledge, The Spirit of Council) These angels, who were ministering angels of human form in my dream, simply “Opened the blockage.”
To my surprise I was expecting a “FLOOD” to come out of the blocked area but it was a newly wrapped “Ford Hudson Antique Automobile” that still had the wrapping of encasement in: the doors, the window cressings, the tires, the motor, etc. (This car was tailor made just for me.) I was fully shocked in my dream because I could not figure out how to stop it but to let it go at it’s own pace to subside.
I had done everything I knew to do and it was too much for me to handle by myself. Yet, as I looked closer into the place that was blocked and the woman (The Spirit of Wisdom) and the angels (The Spirit of Council and Knowledge) removed the car from it’s holding place, “There was no water in that place.” Yet, when I looked closer, “There was a shelf with food to eat, already prepared for me to eat.”
When I woke up, not able to open my eyes yet the Holy Spirit brought to remembrance the resurrection of Jesus. It was the angels that moved the stone (The blockage, barrier, etc) for the Blessing (The Resurrection of Christ Jesus) to be revealed to Mary and to the disciples, along with the world. Here, we see an important message in the dream: “The blood of Jesus was put upon the Mercy Seat in heavenly places for you to already receive the Grace you have been given.
It is up to you to call upon the Holy Spirit as your Helper to Guide you into the command of the work of angels, to bring forth your blessing. It is not a time of fighting the demonic, it is a time of learning to receive God’s Grace. The battle has already been won.”
Berean Study Bible
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.
Berean Literal Bible
And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, having descended out of heaven and having come, rolled away the stone and was sitting upon it.
New American Standard Bible
And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
King James Bible
And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Hebrews 1:14
New Living Translation
Therefore, angels are only servants--spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.
English Standard Version
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
Prayer Example:How to Command Your Blessings
1. Grow in intimacy of the Holy Spirit: He is the Governor in the earth concerning God’s Grace of every area in your life. He is the Lord of the Harvest in the earth, to take from the victory of Christ and what has been purchased for you to receive in order to know the Father.
2. The Holy Spirit Will Position the Angels Needed: The Holy Spirit has already positioned the angels to come to the place --that He is guiding you to come to in order to receive the blessing of God’s Grace in your life. You do not need to position them there for you.
3. Your job is to speak it forth to come into being: Mark 11:22 “Have faith in God” or, “Have faith in God’s Grace: His Voice, His provision, and His willingness to move upon what He has already ordained for you to walk in.” Remember, “You rely upon Grace and your faith will automatically be there and it will be unstoppable!”
Mark 11 goes on to say, “Believe you have received WHEN--not tomorrow, not an hour later, not next year, you pray.” Let it be settled in your heart, already. Father, in the name of Jesus I thank You that You have already provided my blockage to be removed by the Governor, who is the Holy Spirit, on my behalf.
I thank You and praise You Father that the Holy Spirit has already come to the place and released the angels for me to receive Your Grace: Your voice, Your provision, Your willingness in this area of my life. Now, angels of God release this to me, In Jesus name. I receive it, and cause what I have said to come to me and bring it to pass.
Hallelujah! In Jesus name. Mark 11 goes on to say, “If you believe WHEN you pray, whatsoever things you desire (God’s Grace) you shall have what you say, and what you say shall come to pass. Say unto that mountain be removed, or---”Angels loose my blessing to come to me” and take the rest into the sea in Jesus name. (While most Word preachers say, “Take it by faith” it really should be “Receive God’s Grace” it has already been given where you are. Hallelujah!)
Grace will position your faith to be unstoppable!
And I commit you to God and His Word of Grace, (Acts 20:32) Amen!
