0:38 International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. As we're doing

0:55 the CDs on finding Annoying God, swilling and through a life today, I'm

0:59 going to, however, the next expect through which God speaks to us and

1:03 reveals his will and plan and guides us in the direction that He wants us

1:08 to go, and that is through dreams. If you see in the New

1:12 Testament again you see how God spoke to the wise men and warned them through

1:19 dreams to go without meeting head. And even when you talk about the time

1:26 when Pilot was about to you know, give the nod for Jesus to be

1:32 crucified. His wife comes along and says, I had a disturbing dream that

1:38 you should not do that. So you realize that God used the dream to

1:45 tell them what was the right thing to do or something that they should not

1:49 do. And you see even through the Old Testament, whether it was somebody

1:55 who honored the Lord like Joseph, or whether it was somebody like the Pharaoh

2:00 who did not know the Lord also God dreams, or whether it was King

2:04 Nebuchadneza who did not honor the Lord him when he got dreams. But you

2:08 see that when the people who did not know the Lord God dreams, or

2:15 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

2:23 dream, you know they need somebody who was connected with a Lord to interpret

2:29 the dream for them. Right, Joseph interpreted the dream for the Compara and

2:34 the Baker. Joseph interpreted the dream for the Pharaoh, to Daniel interpreted the

2:38 dream for the king. Right. So when when when you are connected with

2:45 the Lord, you have that direct access because you have the same Holy spirit

2:50 in you, so you are able to understand what is God trying to tell

2:53 you or the direction he wants you to take, or the more he wants

2:58 you to make. He's going to give you the clarity. And when a

3:01 person is not in the Lord also they make it dreams. But God can

3:07 use somebody who's connected with God, okay, somebody in the spirit who can

3:14 interpret the dream for them. So by the end of this you realize that

3:17 God still speaks, God still guides, and God still teaches us and shows

3:25 us and reveals to us his will and the decision that we may need to

3:30 make in our life through dreams. All right, So one of the things

3:36 you have to remember is you have to pay attention to your dreams. My

3:39 question to you is are you paying attention to your dreams? Now? I'm

3:43 not saying that every dream under the sun is from the Lord right. In

3:46 fact, you can probably go back and check one of the episodes, the

3:51 two fiftieth episode that I had. I had a special guest called Hannah Elizabeth

3:54 Matthews, a singer and songwriter from India. Okay, can probably scrawl down

4:00 and check that episode where we actually also discussed about dreams because she shared from

4:06 her life how the Lord showed to her through dreams in many instances and revealed

4:13 what was installed. She told about one of the moments when God was leading

4:17 her to go to a different location and settle down. You know, she

4:23 was sharing how every detail was given to her through dream. Right. She

4:28 was saying that the exact kind of her location, the exact kind of her

4:32 house, and the door and all the details were all revealed to her through

4:38 a dream. And I was seeing this in my own life as well.

4:42 Ever since I was young, God has spoken through me and showed me things

4:46 through dreams, and it has been one of those things that God has used

4:51 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

5:00 your dreams. God can use your dreams to guide you. God can use

5:03 dreams to direct your steps. He did it in the Bible times. There's

5:10 different scriptures I shared with you. He can do it again because He's the

5:14 same yesterday, today, and forever. I want to just close with this

5:17 example of an incident that happened with my friend. Okay, to be honest,

5:23 this friend of mine and I, though we are friends, we have

5:26 a lot of differences in our theological opinions. And yes, the thing,

5:31 especially when it comes to the theological aspect, he's the kind of person who

5:35 does not believe in the prophetic. He's the kind of person who doesn't believe

5:40 in you know, the dreams or visions. And we have had so many

5:44 arguments and debates over the past many years, and then I came to appoint

5:47 him, like, you know what, I'm not going to waste my time

5:50 just trying to prove to somebody who doesn't believe in these things. So what

5:57 actually happened was he was dating somebody and they wanted, you know, sign

6:03 from the Lord or forgot to direct them and things let that on, whether

6:08 you know they should continue it, in which direction they should go, and

6:11 all these things. So one particular day, he gets a certain dream,

6:17 okay with the specifics that he's traveling from the place he was doing his curriculum

6:27 to his hometown and he goes to this place, whey where a certain kind

6:33 of clothing, he has a backpack, and he buys certain kind of gifts,

6:39 and he goes to meet this person that they were he was dating,

6:45 and so he goes there. This is the dream. He has more details

6:49 in this dream. And the next day he happens to have a conversation with

6:56 her and she was like, hold your horse, and she said, you

7:02 know what word to word? This was the exact dream I had last night

7:08 as well. Both of them were shocked because this is not a guy who

7:15 believed in these dreams and things. Letther he was a guy was against all

7:18 these things. And he himself was shocked and he said, John, I

7:23 just can't believe it. How is it that word the word? I had

7:28 the same dream and worth the word She had the same dream, and it

7:31 was as if the Lord was connecting us together through this dream. Now,

7:41 I wanted to share that to let you guys know that God can use dreams

7:47 to show you his plan, will and purpose, and he's still doing it

7:54 even in the twenty first century, and he can still speak to you through

7:59 dreams and they can amaze you. Like this friend of mine, who didn't

8:01 even believe in how God can speak through dreams. God used dreams to show

8:07 that he still speaks. That's the God we serve, right, He's a

8:13 God who can still do wonders. So today I want you to take the

8:18 limits off and say, God, I believe that you can still speak to

8:22 me through dreams. Listen, I'm not asking you to run after dreams.

8:26 I'm not asking you to pursue dreams. But what I'm saying is be open.

8:30 If God wants to speak to you through dreams, why do you want

8:33 to close that door. Let Him speak to you through dreams. Allow him

8:37 to guide you through those things. I'm sure that it will all play out

8:43 beautifully for the extension of His kingdom. I'll see you again next in tomorrow's

8:50 episode, but I'll be talking to you on how God speaks to us through

8:54 visions. God, bless you. You've been listening to Fuel for the Soul

10:03 you know where you're going? If you came face to face with death,

10:07 now do you know where you're going? And this is not a message of

10:09 condemnation. This is a message of hope. There is a God who loves

10:16 you so much he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to come down and

10:22 pay a heavy price by shedding every drop of his blood on the cross.

10:28 Thank you for dying for my sins. When you believe in Him, you

10:31 have free gift or salvation for you that it shows us that we will go

10:37 to heaven when we die instead of suffering in Him forever. I just encourage

10:43 you today to make the simple step of faith and say Jesus, I thank

10:46 you for what you did on the cross. Thank you for giving me this

10:50 gift of eternal life.
