The Context of Sleep and Prophecy

The narrative begins with an emphasis on the prophetic significance of sleep and its role in spiritual revelations. In this setting, it is noted that flesh, not just the spirit, becomes a vessel for divine messages. The phenomenon of prophecy, dreams, and visions is not confined to a particular group but extends to all humanity. The fulfillment of these prophecies is highlighted in “X Chapter 2,” which serves as a critical reference point for deeper understanding.

Peter’s Address in X Chapter 2

The speaker, identified as Peter, addresses the crowd in “X Chapter 2,” starting from verse 14. He speaks to the people of Judah and Jerusalem, emphasizing that the current events are not due to drunkenness, as some suppose, but are a fulfillment of the prophecy by Joel. This fulfillment is anchored in Joel Chapter 2, Verse 17, which is crucial to the narrative. The emphasis here is on the spirit being poured out on all flesh, indicating an inclusive approach to spiritual experiences.

The Universality of Dreams and Visions

The narrative underscores that the realm of dreams and visions is not exclusive to Christians. This concept is exemplified through personal stories and biblical examples. The story from Mount Lavinia, Sri Lanka, involving a neighbor’s wife and the speaker’s grandmother, illustrates how dreams serve as a bridge between God and people of all faiths. Additionally, biblical figures like Nebuchadnezzar, Pharaoh, and Nebuchadnezzar’s son showcase how God has historically used dreams to communicate with non-believers.

The Dynamics of Dream Interpretation

The interpretation of dreams involves understanding the mind’s role as a canvas for God’s messages. This concept is explained through examples such as travel in a boat represented by a car on water, demonstrating how familiar imagery is employed to convey unfamiliar concepts. Dreams consist of various elements like characters, numbers, and countries, with each element having significance based on its closest real-life representation.

The Skill and Gift of Dream Interpretation

In the Old Testament, interpreting dreams is depicted as a skill, with figures like Joseph and Daniel exemplifying this ability. In contrast, the New Testament presents dream interpretation as a gift from the Holy Spirit. The connection between this gift and speaking in tongues is highlighted, indicating that the ability to interpret extends beyond dreams to other spiritual communications.

Preparing for and Documenting Dreams

A specific ritual is advised for inducing spiritual dreams, involving calming one’s consciousness, engaging with scripture, and a short period of prayer. Post-dream, the emphasis is on documenting every detail for accurate interpretation. An example is provided through a personal dream involving the theft of a suitcase and an army parade, highlighting the significance of dreams in understanding future events.

Teaching Plans and Environmental Influence on Dreams

Plans for further teaching involve a mix of instruction and practical dream interpretation, acknowledging time constraints and the inability to interpret all dreams. The influence of the environment on dream content is discussed, with Genesis 28 and Jacob’s dream at Bethel serving as a scriptural reference. This principle suggests that the place where one sleeps can significantly impact the nature of their dreams, as exemplified in varying dream experiences in different locations like hotels and flights.

Participants are encouraged to read together, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of dreams and spirituality. The mention of the Prince of Punjab introduces a cultural and historical context, leading into a biblical passage from Acts, Chapter 2, Verse 17, signaling the start of Day 2 of the discussion.

Dreams and the Prophetic Realm The focus shifts to the spiritual concept that the pouring out of the spirit is not limited to traditionally spiritual people but extends to all, including historical figures like Nebuchadnezzar and Pharaoh. The conversation delves into the prophetic realm, highlighting that sons and daughters shall prophesy, young men shall see visions, and old men shall dream dreams. This segment emphasizes the interconnectedness of prophecy, dreams, and visions, proposing that dreams and visions are extensions of prophecy.

The Art of Interpreting Dreams The significance of interpreting dreams is emphasized, with a particular focus on understanding scriptures, maturity, speaking in tongues, asking the right questions, and uncovering secrets from God. A reference to Daniel Chapter 9, Verse 22, illustrates the importance of skill and understanding in the context of dream interpretation. The discussion becomes practical as various individuals share their dreams, and the speaker provides interpretations, connecting them to real-life situations and spiritual truths.

Visions, Reality, and Practical Insights The dialogue explores the relationship between visions and reality, underscoring that visions can be as tangible and impactful as physical experiences. This part of the conversation offers practical guidance on handling dreams involving others and methods to transform negative dreams into positive outcomes. The discussion concludes with insights on the practical application of these spiritual concepts in daily life.

Law, Sin, and Death: A Biblical Interplay

Law = No Faith

Law = Sin

No Faith => Sin

No Faith => Law => Sin => Death

Faith => Grace => Righteousness => Life

  1. The Law is Not of Faith
  • Verse: “And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.” (Galatians 3:12)
  • Explanation: The law is not based on faith; it promises life to those who follow it.
  1. The Strength of Sin is the Law
  • Verse: “The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.” (1 Corinthians 15:56)
  • Explanation: The law amplifies the power of sin, making it the “strength” behind sin’s sting.
  1. The Sting of Death is Sin
  • Verse: “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.” (1 Corinthians 15:55-56)

The Four Signs of a Lack of Faith: A Biblical Perspective

Introduction

Faith is a cornerstone of Christian life. However, there are instances where one might question the strength or even the existence of their faith. In this blog post, we will explore four signs that may indicate a lack of faith, backed by Biblical references.


1. Conforming to Worldly Views

Bible References

  • Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
  • James 4:4: “You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God?”

Explanation

If your views align more with worldly perspectives rather than what is outlined in the Bible, it’s a sign that you may lack faith. Conforming to the world’s standards often leads to a life that is not in harmony with God’s will.


2. Relying on Law Over Faith

Bible References

  • Galatians 3:12: “The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, ‘The person who does these things will live by them.'”
  • Romans 3:28: “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.”

Explanation

If you find yourself relying solely on the law and not on the grace and faith in Jesus Christ, this is a strong indicator of a lack of faith. The law can guide us, but faith justifies us.


3. Depending on Sight Over Faith

Bible References

  • 2 Corinthians 5:7: “For we live by faith, not by sight.”
  • Hebrews 11:6: “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists.”

Explanation

Faith is about believing in what you cannot see. If you only believe in what you can physically see, you’re missing the essence of faith, which is trust in God’s unseen work in your life.


4. A Lack of Hope

Bible References

  • Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
  • Romans 15:13: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him.”

Explanation

Hope is the foundation upon which faith is built. Without hope, you lack the “substance” or “confidence” that is essential for faith. A lack of hope often leads to despair and a weakened faith.


Conclusion

Recognizing these signs in your life can be the first step toward strengthening your faith. The Bible provides ample guidance on how to build and maintain a strong faith in God. By aligning your life with Biblical principles, you can cultivate a faith that withstands any challenge.


The Power of the Atonement: Understanding Christ’s Sacrifice

About various aspects of our faith—our gathering, leadership, the role of Jesus in our lives, and the essence of Christian life. Let’s dig in.

The Importance of Gathering

  • A Miracle in Europe:
    Look around you. To have you all here on a Thursday is nothing short of a miracle. As the Good Book says in Hebrews 10:25, “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.”

Leadership & Planning in Ministry

  • Future Plans:
    I’m excited to share that we’ve got leadership meetings and church plans for the UK coming up. As Proverbs 16:3 encourages us, “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”

The Importance of Preaching

  • Necessity of Certain Messages:
    There are messages that I, too, struggle with, but I must preach them. Remember 2 Timothy 4:2? “Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season.”

Revelation of Jesus Christ

  • The Question of Identity:
    Remember that moment when Jesus asked Peter, “Who do you say I am?” Peter had a revelation. He said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:15-16). What is your revelation of Jesus?

Salvation and Belief

  • The Power of Confession: Romans 10:9 lays it down clearly. “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Eternal Life and Righteousness

  • Nature of God: We’re not just saved, we partake in the very nature of God, His righteousness and eternal life. Romans 3:22 states, “This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.”

Wholeness in Jesus

  • Being Whole: When you come to Jesus, you don’t just get piecemeal benefits. Colossians 2:10 says, “and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.”

The Atonement

  • Meaning of “Sozo”: The Greek word “Sozo” encapsulates salvation, healing, and wholeness. 1 Peter 2:24 says, “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.”

Conclusion

We’ve covered a lot of ground, but the essence remains—Jesus is the focal point of our lives, and we have responsibilities as believers. Take these truths and let them soak into your life. God bless you all.

Financial Rescue – Learning to Prosper from God’s Word

  • The teaching on financial rescue and prosperity, drawing from Biblical principles to provide practical advice.

The Pitfalls to Avoid

  • The love of money, not money itself, is the root of evil (1 Timothy 6:10)

  • Borrowing is risky, goes against God’s principles, and often leads to loss (Deuteronomy 15:6)
  • Dishonesty also leads to financial troubles, integrity is key (Deuteronomy 28:1-2)

  • Sowing seeds in God’s work brings spiritual and financial harvest (2 Corinthians 9:10)
  • We must adopt the mindset of a giver not just a receiver (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

Seizing Breakthrough

  • Moments and opportunities contain wealth, be spiritually attentive (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
  • God wants to rescue and bless us financially as we follow His principles (Philippians 4:19)

Conclusion

  • God has amazing financial rescue for those who apply His wisdom

  • Lean on Christ, not worldly systems, and abundance will come
  • God delights in rescuing us from lack into overflow
  • Mortgage is against God’s principles.
