Nourishment For Deliverance

hand n child'sAnything that has to do with deliverance, anything that would bring you to possess the land, anything that would bring you to a new chapter in your life must be nourished. If it is nourished it will overcome Pharaoh. God nourishes us and those dreams, hopes and promises He gives us so that they might live and deliver. Cf.”But Zion said, The Lord has forsaken me, the Lord has forgotten me. Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me. Your sons hasten back, and those who laid you waste depart from you! (Isa.49:14-17).”

Nourish The Dream

deer bottleMoses was nourished in his father’s house for three months (Ex.2:1). Anything marked for the purposes of God must be nourished within us and given ability to stand. Giving ability to stand is in the basic meaning of nourish. “By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict (Heb.11:23).”

That dream God gives is no ordinary dream. Feed it. Nourish it. The false report may say, “Oh, but it is so skinny and frail, it’s almost dead.” Nourish it. It will come back strong. “Oh, but there may not even be an ember left because the original fire was built so long ago.” Patiently and persistently stir and feed the fire. It will come to flame again.

God Raises Up Midwives

Dreams and visions are relentlessly attacked by the enemy until: (1.) they are mature and defeat him or (2.) we relinquish them. 

midwifery1Relinquished dreams are no threat to our enemy at all. That is why God raises up midwives who will not sell out to Pharaoh. There is indeed One more desirable and more powerful than Pharaoh. Because God prepared God-fearing midwives, Moses (the offspring of God’s wise planning) was protected, kept alive and led Israel out of Egypt to the promised land.

God is ALWAYS FAITHFUL to raise up midwives to keep His offspring (promise) alive. Be sensitive to recognize them and not drive them away for they will help birth the baby of deliverance for your life. A midwife may be a prophetic word, a song in the night, a teaching or a compassionate person who may have no idea whatsoever that they are the midwife sent by God to help give birth to your deliverance.

The Offspring Of God

God’s will birthed in our spirit is given us as a dream (not necessarily the night time sort but a great desire) or vision. Our receptive spirit is the “womb” God uses to develop and grow that lion-cubwill. The “offspring of God” will despoil the enemy and render him impotent and that is why Pharaoh wanted to destroy all the male babies. It would be through one of the male offspring (the planning and product of God) that God would leave Egypt empty handed and utterly defeated.

Don’t Let The Enemy Kill Your Dream

The enemy knows that if he cannot kill your dream, it will do him damage. The Egyptians made the Israelites’ lives “bitter with hard labor” and the “Egyptians used them ruthlessly (Ex.1:14).” Pharaoh also came up with a plan to abort the possibility of deliverance. His plan for the midwives was to slay all sheep eating grasspromise and even hope of deliverance. He wanted them to stay at it, be vigorous, don’t let up, slay them all.

I am reminded at this point of Jesus’ words “the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy (Jn.10:10).” The enemy quietly made a deal with the midwives to go about their destruction as quietly as possible – hopefully unnoticed (cf.Ex.1:16).

The devil wants you to die in quiet desperation, preferably completely away from spiritual help and fellowship. He wants your dreams and visions to die unshared, unvoiced and most definitely…. unfulfilled.

Just as a sheep is ever searching out life-sustaining grass, it seems that we are ever searching out God’s will. God’s plan is ever to reproduce Himself in us. That’s why He gives us dreams and visions. He puts a “bullseye” out there, aims us at it and desires we move in obedience toward the center of the target.

Do Not Tread Thoughtlessly

Burning-BushWhere you are standing may look like ordinary ground at first glance. Where you are presently may seem like a wilderness without purpose but there is an all-wise, loving Father who in His wisdom and within His customized timetable of events says, “Take off your shoes so that you do not tread thoughtlessly on ground and time that I have set apart for a purpose.”

“Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” (Ex.3:5, NKJV)

Keys In Recurring Dreams

rootTwo keys in considering recurring dreams are: 

(1.) Tolerating troubling, recurring dreams instead of resolving them can water a troubling condition and keep it bearing fruit in your life. 

(2.) Get to the root of recurring dreams so they become a tool.  

Deposits, downloads and disclosures through dreams only become a beneficial tool to us when we follow up with a real life response.

Disclosure Dreams

The bottom line is that disclosure dreams reveal issues in our lives and if you ignore the dream, you ignore the issue.  Then you coexist with it instead of conquering it.  One of the most obvious types of disclosure dreams is recurring dreams or dreams with a recurring theme (i.e., similar settings, action, emotions, outcomes or atmospheres). These types of dreams can be from God or Teapotour own springs, but they are revealing something that we need to be aware of, address and/or resolve.  A recurring dream can be an ongoing  process so that every time you dream it, you are moving toward resolve.  A recurring dream can become a personal indicator like our teapot telling us when we’re about to blow or when we are battling an old, familiar war.  A recurring dream can be an ongoing process bringing clarity to a future mandate, obedience or strategy.  A recurring dream can reveal a memory that needs closure. A recurring dream can signal an unconscious battle or fear.  Or recurring dreams can reveal a destructive pattern or cycle that needs to be broken.  I’ve talked to a number of dreamers  that discovered two or more generations had the same troubling, recurring dreams because the root was not resolved in the first generation.  We can pursue an understanding of recurring dreams and take issues to God for deliverance, resolve or healing and stop tormenting dreams, perhaps for generations!

Dreams–A Communication Tool

Dreams can also be a communication tool that is a disclosure within ourselves, between our subconscious and conscious mind.  Though these dreams may not be a telegram from God, they can still be sanctioned by a God-purpose for our life. These type dreams can help us “work out our own Locker-in-school-hallway-jpgsalvation,” by revealing issues that are causing dysfunction or lack or sickness. 

These dreams spring from our senses, concerns, questions, thoughts, choices, emotions, desires and imaginings, “dreams which you cause to be dreamed” (Jer.29:8) or they spring from memories, beliefs, values, worries, fears, stresses, etc., “dreams come when there are many cares” (Ecc. 5:3).  A common disclosure dream is that you are back in school, but can’t find your class, or you didn’t bring your homework, or you forgot your clothes!  In either case, the disclosure of what is going on inside is that you are dealing with feelings of being unequipped or inadequate or you are fearing failure or humiliation, etc.

Three Keys Considering Intercessory Dreams

Three-keysThree keys considering intercessory dreams: 

(1.) Don’t take vicarious dreams as personal threats, because being afraid will hinder your response.  

(2.) God always gives insight in time if you are being called to make a difference.  

(3.) Never fail to follow through with authoritative declaration of the will of God over the situation or person.
