The dream realm is one of the most ignored spaces, and it is so pivotal because, first of all, the average person literally sleeps for 26 years of their life. Wow, 26 years—that is incredible.
Yeah, and you were not designed to spend not even a day outside of God's presence, right? So those 26 years were not just so that your body has the benefit of physical rest, but your spirit can continue to commune with God, because the spirit never sleeps. So while your body is sleeping, your spirit is still awake, and your spirit can continue to commune with God in your sleep. And the beauty in relationship with God is that that communion can now come to you as imagery, known as dreams.
And so there are times where in your dreams—like, let me even go biblical before I go even personal testimony—in your, when Solomon encountered God in a dream, it was Solomon's Spirit having a conversation with God, cuz God is speaking to Solomon, but he's asleep, but his spirit is awake. So he tells Solomon, "Hey, tell me whatever you want, and I'll give it to you." And Solomon is like, "A wise and understanding heart to govern these people." And then God is like, "You know what? I'm going to give you that, because that's what you asked for—not the lives of your enemies, not riches, not—" I'm going to give you that, and I'm giving you everything else, the things you didn't ask for. Solomon wakes up, and it—this became his reality.
Right? There are dreams where God would literally—um, Joseph, Jesus's Foster—I call him Jesus's Foster dad on Earth—you know, when the king at the time was after Jesus's life, and an Angel appears to Joseph in a dream. He's like, "Yo, Joseph, you got to go. You need to take your family and get out of here, because they're coming after Jesus." But these were warnings that came in dreams.
Now, in my personal life, um, I have—I have a daughter, I have an 11-month-old daughter. Oh wow. When I was pregnant with her, there were some complications that came up, and it was causing me a lot—a lot of pain. And I remember one time I was just like crying and praying. I'm like, "God," you know, the doctor was like, "You—I need to terminate the pregnancy, and then, you know, try again, and all this stuff." And I'm like, "Not doing that." Um, but I remember praying, and then in a dream—so the book is even dedicated to my daughter, cuz I—I've seen her in dreams even before I met her father—and so when I got pregnant, there was a part of me that just knew it was her. And so I remember just praying all through the night, and I go to bed. In a dream, the Lord encounters me, and he hands me this black leather Bible, and he tells me, "She's going to be okay," and the specific word he said, "No harm will come to her," and I received it. So when he gave me the Bible, it was like, "Stand on my word," like, "Let this be what anchors you." And he tells me a couple other things, and I wake up. When I woke up, I just had this joy. I'm like, "She's gonna be fine. No harm is gonna come to her." So I carry that word till today. I'm like, "No harm would come to you." And so a lot of the things that the doctors were saying—"That this can't happen, this can't happen"—everything began to shift to, "All my soldiers, we are—need deep in spiritual warfare, and hardly initiated has created some additional armor for the fight—the fight—the flesh bracelet is a stylish reminder to stay disciplined in the face of battle and temptation. So click the link in the description and get yours today, and don't forget use code clips for 10% off. Let's fight." And so they're like, "Okay, this is becoming a miracle." And I'm like, "No, it's not about your word; it's about what God said. His word creates things."
And so what the book—I take people on a journey, and part of that journey is—one, you need to know why you need the word of God. In the beginning, God spoke to—first create—before even communion. When God gives you a word, that word can change your life—not just in—in—in the—in regards to success per se—but the word of God has authority over everything on Earth. The word of God will cause things to find you. The word of God will defy science and—and—and, you know, facts and all these things. It—it defies logic because the Creator spoke, so his word creates. The word of God can bring warning; he can bring insight, because you're—you're—you're talking about communing with someone who is in the beginning and the end. He knows everything, so he has foresight. He can tell you, "Hey, next week you're about to take this flight; do not go." And so my relationship with God—God has saved me and my family literally from death because of the warnings he showed us beforehand, and we were able to pay attention to it. And so with dreams—so first of all, you have this 20 years of your life, right, that for many people is dead space. And so God is having conversations with your spirit, but you don't perceive it. So that's why even in the Book of Job that talks about, you know, "What in a dream in a vision of the night when the Lord comes and literally plants his messages in men, but they do not perceive it, because the soul is so loud." But the beauty is that when people start to take—I talk about taking your dreams as holy ground—then you can redeem time—that is 26 years—that I can receive downloads from God. I could redeem time concerning my life. There are questions that could be answered; there are things that I could be—that could be avoided. And especially when in a society where we are so—um—boggled down by busyness and distractions, there's something that stands out to me so much: when Moses was sent by God to set the children of Israelites free, the first time he goes, he tells the Pharaoh, "He's like, 'Yo, you know, God says it's—it's—it's time up,' right? This is my interpretation," and Mo—and the Pharaoh is like, "Oh, we see what's going on. You guys are bored; you—you—you are idle." And then his initial response was to give the slaves more work. He says, "You know what? The reason you want to worship your God is because you're idle. Matter of fact, now you're going to get double the work." But what does that translate? Because you have to understand the Pharaoh is functioning from an influence of—of an evil spirit. So the evil spirit recognizes when they want to worship God. "Oh yeah, let's give them more work." That's what's happening in our generation today. People are literally too busy to make time for God.
That's so true. So the enemy is like, "Oh wait, we don't need them calling out to the Lord. Let's put more things—more people are too busy to even raise their kids, just to get by." And so your sleep state—you can redeem time, you know. If when you look at the creation of the world, the evening started the day, so the day begins at night time. And so what I say in the book is that every night is an opportunity to receive a revelation from God, and every day is an opportunity to live it out. I heard them—look—look, they going crazy back there. He getting that game—no, that's some game—that's some game. So at night time—because Jesus—and this is—this—this is what Jesus desires for us—when the disciples asked him, "Lord, teach us how to pray," he—when he teaches on what we call the model prayer, he says, "Lord, give us this day our daily bread." Daily, there is supposed to be an access you have to the word of God daily. And imagine what it looks like when you can also redeem it—um—not just to keep it or lock it up in dreams—no, you can redeem it also in your sleep and continue that fellowship with God throughout your day.
Another thing that is so powerful with the dream realm is that it is the realm of sight. In the same way in your—in your physical life, in the natural life, we have natural senses; we have spiritual senses. In—with your natural senses, sight gives you the greatest expression of on how to—um—experience a thing. So when you want to—when you see something you like—from what—what—just like, for example, if I'm watching the news, just from looking at it, the imagery, it could affect how I feel. You can even see something and almost like—have you ever like looked at trash like on—like maybe in a movie—and you just—ugh—you don't even want to eat your food because your—your brain can already process the smell just because of how you're—what you're looking at. So sight is a very powerful realm; it brings all the expression of all your senses in one. And so in the dream realm—so sight spiritually—you have dreams; you have vision. It is—it brings you into an experience of God's word. So some dreams might not be this elaborate thing of God encountering you and Angels encountering you, but the symbols in the dream, the imagery used in the dream, all the symbols matter, the activity happening. You know, there are times where people have dreams where they see themselves like crashing their car, and that is so powerful because, one, a car is going somewhere; it's a destination. And so the Lord could be—that could be a warning dream where God is like, "Look, your body—to make a decision that is going to bring you into destruction; be careful." But when you wake up, you continue that conversation, because I teach people that a dream is God starting or continuing a conversation with you. So it doesn't end in the dream; you wake up, and you continue that. The problem is many people will say, "Man, I don't dream. You know, that's just not my thing." But everybody dreams. The problem is you don't remember. It's a scientific fact: every night you dream. So it's a space that God already—in—in the makeup of who you are—he placed that there, but the problem is we don't remember our dreams. And part of that is our nighttime habits, our waking habits, what we give access to in our ear gates, our eye gates, the sensitivity of your spirit to the spir—to the sensitivity of your soul to your—to the spirit of God, because God, again, could be speaking, but you don't perceive it. And the issue there is it's not going to be that God did—did not speak to you, but your—your inability to perceive his voice still has—um—consequences. There was a—there was—um—I believe this was Abraham Lincoln, and I believe that was Abraham Lincoln. He had a dream while—when—while he was President; he literally saw his death. Abra—abrah—was it Abraham Lincoln? I think he was—I think he—the one that got shot—he—yeah, Abraham Lincoln. He saw his assass—he—he had a—about his assassination. So in the dream, he's hearing people crying and mourning, and he's like, "What's going on?" And so he—he's like walking around, and he's like, "What's happening?" And they said, "Oh, the President has been assassinated." This is recorded. And he was like, "What?" They literally in the dream they tell him, "Oh yeah, the President has been assassinated." Wow. That week he had activities. If he understood the power of his dreams, right, he would have shut every activity down and understand that, "Wait, God is trying to speak to me, to warn me about something that's coming," but just took it as a dream. When by his day nothing in his schedule changed that week, he got assassinated. Wow. But he saw it in his dream. So there are times where God is speaking to us, giving us warning, showing us things. There are times that even—there sometimes—if a person is in a church that is—cuz it's this is interesting too—because you—you can have someone who is saying Jesus and is a pastor, but they're not of God. Right? Facts. And some people can be in these demonic cultist churches, and when God is trying to give them a warning, like, "Hey, you're not in what you think you're in," they may have dreams where they see themselves sleeping with weird spirits or even people, or people are constantly coming to have sex with them, because what God is showing you is—spiritually, sex brings oneness—and so there is spiritual adultery happening, and you don't even know it. So God might be bringing that sex dream to you, so it's not that God is causing it; he's just allowing you to see the reality of your spiritual life. Pretty much he's revealing this—what—revealing this is what is happening to you, because the enemy thrives in darkness. The enemy wouldn't want you to see what he's doing. So there are times that you are allowed to see what the enemy is already doing in your life. Wow. And so the dream was not orchestrated by God. God is not having people sleep with you, no, but he's showing you the state of your spiritual life—that this is literally what is happening. There are deposits happening in your spirit every night because of what you are submitted to. And there's sometimes that sex dreams could also be the result of exposure—you know, what you've opened your eye gates to—and so you've given the enemy access to make deposits that are demonic in your soul, and so then you're waking up, and all of a sudden now you are—you—you're having these weird appetites in the flesh that is not normal to you, but that's because you opened something up, and it made a deposit. And so these are things where every dream—there's a type—there are different types of dreams that necessitate a different type of response. So a dream like that—you need to go—when—when you start having sex dreams, you need to go with—you know, in a time of fasting and prayer for God to deliver you and open your eyes to this—to what specifically did you get yourself involved in, or what door opened up? Because how the enemy works—he doesn't show his hand immediately. There are doors that you—you open, and you—he doesn't want you to trace it back to him. So you could be part of a church, and you know, everything is going well. You're like, "Wow, this is great." Six months in, you start—you're like, "Wait, what is happening in my life?" Chaos is breaking out, and you don't realize that—no, you're part of a cult that you thought was a church, or you let somebody in in your life, and you have no clue that this person is a witch, and this is your girlfriend—you know, that is your boyfriend—type of thing. So there are times where God—because again, he created us to be dependent on him for direction—and so God wants to constantly commune with you. God can give you strategy dreams; he can show you how to make a move in your business that will change everything for you; he can show you—I remember there was a time where this was during the—the—the pandemic—God was showing me, you know, companies to invest in with stocks. Wow. And it—it was great. I was texting my friends—my family—"I say, 'Yo, okay, invest—pull out tomorrow—do this,' cuz literally in dreams the Lord will show me a company, and then he will show me at what number to sell."
What? Tap into them dreams. No, but I'm asking for those dreams again. There was one company he showed me recently; I'm waiting—I'm waiting—I'm—I'm on the same page with you. I'm really getting these downloads right now, because I was—you know, I used to completely dismiss dreams. I mean, sleep—I just did not have any respect for sleep. I'm just like, "Yo, rich people don't sleep. You all you need is 4 hours." So I wasn't even prepared.
Mhm. And I used to rush into sleep either from being on my phone or watching TV or just doing something that had my energy going. I would just try to go straight to sleep, and I was having wet dreams, and—and I was waking up just kind of feeling like I'm on the wrong side of the bed, and you know, more recently—cuz I—I had been doing that for a long time—I even convinced—I was trying to convince Tan—"I'm like, 'No, I know you have wet dreams. I know this is—this—this—this ain't just me; this is science,' you know what I mean?" And he's like, "No, dude, never." And I didn't understand, but it was also—I was heavily involved in the casual sex culture as well. But um, now that you are revealing this to me, it really now gets me excited to prepare for my dreams now, because it's this really untapped channel that I have. It is untapped treasure, literally. You know, one of—one of the scriptures I love when it talks about in the last days—the Lord says, "I will pour out my spirit on all flesh, and your sons and daughters shall prophesy." Then he goes into what brings them into the flow of the prophetic. He says, "Your young men shall have visions, and your old men shall dream dreams." So now there's a whole—there's a—there's a—what—old men and young men has nothing to do with age, but here's the beauty: so the outcome of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days that we're already in is connected to visions and dreams—that visions and dreams—there's going to be this acceleration, this increase of visions and dreams that comes with the pouring of the Holy Spirit that would bring people into the ability of the prophetic, because especially in the times that we're coming into, there's going to be a great shaking in America that God is set—there—people having dreams about the things to come, but they're ignoring it because they're like, "Nah, this—this looks crazy. What—what's happening here?" Or, you know, X, Y, and Z. They're ignoring the dreams, but God is literally trying to show people, "No, get ready," because the instruction of God is protection. So it's not—is going to be like, "I'm a Christian; I'm covered." No, he's giving you an instruction. The instruction is what brings you protection. If Noah never built the ark, you know, he—the Lord might have looked for somebody else, okay, to say, "Somebody else needs to build this Ark," because even when people think about like, "Why didn't—you know, God talk to other people or X, Y, Z?" Noah was the only one who had the heart—post the surrender—to submit himself to the voice of God. He was building the ark the whole time. Why did—for all those years—the word went out because Noah looked crazy. So there was gossip; there was—you know—rumors—all kinds of things were happening about Noah's name, but no one could perceive what Noah was doing as from God because they—because first of all, if they had the Holy Spirit that was communicating—obviously they didn't have the Holy Spirit in them—but if these were people that were aligned to the will of God, then the Holy Spirit would have given them discernment to recognize what Noah is doing is for protection. God is not evil—that if there was another person who was just and upright, he would not have saved them—but Noah was the only one inclined to the—to the voice of God. And what is scary is that the Bible talks about how the coming of Jesus would be like the times of Noah. So—so that—that brings you into a place like, "Yo, I don't want to be the Christian who thinks that I'm just safe because I'm a Christian and I'm not inclined to the voice of God." And so for me, it's even in the book—I talk about a dreamer's journey. The book is not just for you to just dream and that's it; it's to literally bring you into the experience of hearing and—of hearing and understanding God's voice. So the things that are being taught on—one—is going to activate your dream life, but it's going to open you up to experiencing the voice of God also in your waking life.
