Factor in Nature of God

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream or vision to find out if it is a dream  from God, we must always factor in the nature of God.  Since Father’s nature is to be loving, merciful and concerned for us, He is not likely to send crucial insights and drafts to action to an untrained son or daughter who would only respond in fear or stress.   I know a young woman who at eleven-years-old dreamed about the September 11, 2001, attack in New York.  When she saw the plane hit the towers on TV, it was exactly like her dream.  Seeing that she has become a strong, prophetic force in the Kingdom of God, we realize the impacting dream insight was part of her training in developing an ear to hear.  Children who are prophetic or seers or intercessors will likely experience graphic dreams and visions in training for their purpose.   (Fifth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)

The First Step to Defeat Defeat

Father’s strength and wisdom are available for weary people to take the first step after not moving against things that have defeated them in the last year. The time of not doing something about defeating-factors is over. The first step will be admitting there is a problem and wanting the answer, even if it means we have to put forth some effort and make some changes. The first step will be to not wait for others and not wait for those circumstances to change, but begin the change in us.  Ps.37:23— “The steps of a [good] man are directed and established by the Lord when He delights in his way [and He busies Himself with his every step].” (Amp)

Dreams and Previews

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream, don’t be quick to assume the dream was a literal preview or warning.  People are usually quick to think any upset, uneasiness or troubling is a warning of impending danger or grief, but more often dreams are exposing a troubling within rather than warning of one to come.  If God does send a warning dream or vision, it is to call you to effectual action, not just trouble you.  Father would only send warning dreams to put you in motion, not put you in fear or dread. (Fourth excerpt from “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)

Find Rest

As the people of God assemble today may they find rest unto their souls. May they exchange tears and weariness for strength and joy. May they discover that true rest is responsibly acting in the authority they have been given by their Lord and Savior and not try to live a lifestyle driven by mere desire and obligation to people and causes not ordained by their Lord. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.” (Matt.11:28) 

Dream Came True

In 2019 I am praying to see a lot of posts that start with:
“Hey, you guys, another dream just came true!!!”

Reacting in a Dream

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream or vision, note your behavior and reactions during the experience.  It is helpful to remember how you felt and reacted during a dream or vision because when you wake up, your emotions and logic can change everything.  For example, if you dreamed you are at a funeral of a beloved person, but in the dream there was no upset or sadness on your part, that says the dream is symbolic and not about literal death and loss.  However, the next morning when your emotions wake up and you relive that funeral scene, you may feel gut-wrenching grief over the loss. You can miss the message of the dream if your awake-emotion contradicts your response during the dream. Or when your fear wakes up you may be terrified for the person and get them thinking they are under a death threat before breakfast.  Or when logic wakes up, you may feel cold-hearted and ashamed that you were not sad and again miss the message of the dream.  The message in that dream boils down to either that person or your relationship with them is facing major changes, but not changes that include devastating trauma.

Safety Net for Dreams and Visions

(Kathy Gabler)—We should always ask God for wisdom concerning a dream or vision. Constantine was so locked in awe of his vision of a cross in the sky that he evidently thought it was a spiritual experience that affirmed his spirituality and made him a spiritual guru.  He then presumed to take his nation to church but instead, he took them into the Dark Ages.  After asking for wisdom, wait until God gives it so that misinterpretation does not make you miss the point of the dream or vision.  Remember your safety net for dreams and visions is relationship with God so you know His voice, His  nature and His character, and relationship with the Body of Christ so that you can get perspective on your dreams and visions beyond your own.

Replies That Impart Life

May the Lord give His people effectual replies to remarks and inquiries which they are confronted with. May those replies His people give impart life, truth and resolve in every situation. “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” (Prov.25:11)

When Considering a Dream

(Kathy Gabler)—When considering a dream or vision, always ask God for wisdom.  You can be confident He will give it abundantly (James 1:5).  The biggest challenge can be to be ready to hear and receive His input because there are times this isn’t a quick process.  Sometimes, you have to leave a dream on the burner until you are able to hear His wisdom.  One reason for that is because fear or uneasiness or apprehension or atmosphere from a dream can lock us down and lock His input out.  Lock-down can happen also if we are too intense and keep rehearsing the details and coming to the same dead end or if we are in any type of “shock and awe” because of what we experienced.  (First excerpt from Kathy’s article “Continuing to Consider Dreams and Visions”)
