THE DREAM REALM OF THE SPIRIT
by Barbie Breathitt
God has always spoken to mankind through mysterious dreams which are in the realm of the Spirit. God has a divine dream plan that enables us to reach our destiny in Him. His heavenly plans and blueprints are written on our spirit. God is a Holy Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. He reveals Himself to us through the Spirit of Truth and Revelation. The more we come to understand His ways of communication and His revealed nature, the more in love with Him we fall.
God's end time plan for revival comes through the outpouring of His Holy Spirit upon all flesh. All flesh includes the saved and the unsaved.
As the Holy Spirit hovers over mankind embracing him during the night season, we are impregnated with a dream that calls us to pursue Him with all our heart. The mysteries God seals within our spirit causes us to have an urgency to seek after Him for the key to unlock the revelation He has implanted.
But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. I will show wonders in heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:16-21
The prophets of old looked to our time and desired to walk in the increased unlimited measure of anointing, resources and the promises that are being fulfilled in our time. God has given us the supernatural tools we need to win this end time harvest to the Lord. Three tools listed in the Acts 2 passage above are interpreting dreams, visions, and prophecy. To operate in these God-given gifts, we must study to show ourselves approved. God’s treasures are hidden in darkness and must be aggressively pursued to be discovered.
”Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path. When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil.” Proverbs 2:3-12
To understand what God is saying in our night visions we must learn God’s dream language. He speaks to us through a language of pictures, symbols, types and shadows. We communicate through a verbal language, and through body language, or gestures. In heaven, things are learned and communicated through thought. Revelation is imparted to you by the Spirit through your spirit. Paul prays that we may be enlightened in our understanding in order to have the riches of glory and power manifest in our lives. Every believer is to be anointed with the spirit of wisdom and revelation to understand the Father’s heart.
”That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand (the right hand represents things of the future being revealed) in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 1:17-19
Spiritual understanding or enlightenment is different than natural wisdom. There must be a spiritual anointing resting upon our eyes and ears for us to see and hear. This seeing and hearing is by the Spirit. This enables us to receive the redemptive truths and the hidden treasures for this appointed time. God’s divine Spirit of Wisdom directs us into the future. His Spirit of Knowledge causes us to reflect back to past experiences. The Spirit of Understanding flows through faith and love. Dealing with the Present ”I Am” with face-to-face encounters, we are able to fully understand the interpretation of dreams and visions.
We must be totally dependant upon the Holy Spirit for understanding, interpretation, and application of the revelation we receive. In the New Testament 1 Corinthians 12, the various gifts of the Spirit are mentioned. There are vocal, or revelatory, gifts as well as power gifts that equip the believer to be of the word. The gift of tongues and the interpretation of tongues enable us to understand secrets and mysteries through God given revelation. This understanding impacts our spirit man. These gifts produce Faith, Hope, and Love. God’s glory is seen through the eyes of our heart, in the eternal realm of the Spirit. There is no time or distance in the Spirit realm. The Spirit realm is not confined to time as we are in the natural. The Holy Spirit can cause us to transcend time and space barriers of the past, present, and future in our dreams. God created time and space for us. One day with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years is as one day.
Science has proven that light can travel seven times around the world in one second, and our thoughts can travel faster. Angels travel at the speed of thought. Angels enter our dreams through the doors of our heart to bring messages from the Spirit realm. God invades our dreams to change us into His image by hovering over the void places in our lives. He takes the chaos and brokenness and redeems it for His Name’s sake. Creative signs and wonders will be released when the body comes into unity and love. This power will transform a nation.
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing-- Life forevermore” Psalm 133:1-3
?”Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it.” Isaiah 48:10-11
Night parables, trances, dreams, and visions help us develop a spiritual understanding of our loving heavenly Father’s desire to have an intimate relationship with us. God uses dreams to intervene in our lives with direction, protection, and guidance. We know that there are many different human languages. There are angelic languages and there are diverse kinds of heavenly tongues. If we do not know these various languages, they need to be interpreted for us to understand them. God speaks in a language of signs, symbols, dark sayings, puns, riddles, and mysteries through dreams and visions. God desires to communicate to us in a picture language because it is easily imprinted on our spirits and we can call the image back to our remembrance. Why does God choose to speak to us through dreams, visions, night parables, trances and dark speech? Why does God reveal the future through symbols? Why dreams and visions? To evangelize this dark world, it is essential that the church learns to tap into the supernatural power of heaven.
?”Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” Amos 3:7
”If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision, I speak to him in a dream” Numbers 12:6
God loves to reveal mysteries and the things He desires to bring about in the earth to His friends. If we come into faith believing His plan He acts upon it releasing His manifest power. Jesus said to her “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” John 11:40
If we believe we will see the glory of God through dreams and visions and His power will manifest in the land of the living.?
