What Are The Spiritual Basics and Purpose Of Our Dreams? As Christians, Why Is It Important That We Are Dreaming Daily?

Types Of Dreams:

1.) Soul Memory or Cellular Memory Dream (soulish)

2.) Demonic Dream

3.) Dream from The Holy Spirit

When you sleep, your soul and your spirit are always awake. You have three types of dreams.

1. Soulish Dreams – These come from stuff in your soul that is either from wounds or trauma from your past that gets stirred up, along with cell memories in your body that bring these things to the surface that the Holy Spirit wants you to deal with. The Holy Spirit may be bringing you to repentance and even prompting you to get these wounds healed in your soul because He loves you and wants you healed and whole – you prosper as your soul prospers. As a believer in Jesus Christ, your spirit man, one-third of you, is now in sinless perfection and Christ lives in your spirit man. You have a soul, and in that soul is your intellect, your reason, and your emotion. (Mind, will and emotions). Your soul is still needing sanctification from wounds, trauma and wrong thinking. The enemy can still manipulate you through those wounds in your soul. This is why when we receive Christ, the sanctification process begins to cleanse and heal your soul to match your spirit man and become more like Christ in your mind, will and emotions. This is why Christians can still have demons and unclean spirits, they have legal rights to attach to an unhealed soul. Soulish Dreams can expose what needs to be healed and cast out.   (Get the soul cleansing/healing prayer here.)

2. Demonic Dreams – These come from demons and demonic assignments that are working against you. These demons only have access if you allow it and agree with it and have unhealed wounds in your soul. Demonic dreams must be cancelled in the name of Jesus as soon as you wake up unless you destroyed the demon in your dream. Then praise God. The more you SUIT UP in the Armor of God and take your Authority in Christ every day, the more authority you will have over anything demonic in your dreams!  If you had a demonic dream years ago, you can cancel it right now in Jesus’ name. NEVER ever agree with a demonic dream. (See how to cancel a demonic dream with prayer here.)

3. Holy Spirit Dreams – These dreams are messages, instruction, and confirmations from God for your life and for others’ lives and for the Kingdom of God in the earth.  All dreams from the Holy Spirit must be written down and dated. Then ask the Holy Spirit to give you guidance on that dream’s meaning and how to apply it.  He speaks in signs and symbols. This could take hours, days, weeks, and even months before you have the full revelation.  This is why we are told in scripture to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking and all will be given to you, that includes revelation.  Holy Spirit dreams can also be special items being handed to you in a dream for you to get a breakthrough, a key, a sword, a scroll, a lantern, etc. These items can all lead you to your next steps, and, of course, take you to the word of God. Having a baby in a dream means you are about to birth something ordained for your life’s purpose. If you are actually trying to conceive a child in the natural realm, you may also dream about your baby or child to come. If you see a certain prophet or teacher in that dream, it means you are to seek the teachings of that person for a next step in your life right now.  The Holy Spirit will never give you a dream that does not confirm in the word of God.  He is focused on your growth, deliverance, healing, fulfilling your purpose, helping others fulfill their purpose, pointing you to a closer relationship with God – and revealing plans and purposes to advance the Kingdom of God in the earth for Jesus Christ.  Remember, fear is NOT of God.  Holy Spirit will never give you a fearful dream.  He will give you gentle warnings and correction, but never fear.  He always speaks in signs and symbols, numbers, colors, animals, nature, objects and buildings etc.  For example people have dreams about tsunami’s and they think it’s a warning from God that a tsunami is going to come and destroy a place. However this is not what that means.  Tsunami in a dream is a sign of a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit coming in powerfully. Biblically a sign of water represents the Spirit of God. This is why we have to discern and ask the Holy Spirit for daily sharp discernment in what He is speaking in our dreams. (Here is a good prayer to ask for discernment.)

NOW please understand, your dream meanings from the Holy Spirit can include colors or numbers being shown to you, even other signs. YOU MUST FOCUS ON BIBLICAL MEANINGS of these things only. The Holy Spirit’s job is to guide you to the Word of God and deeper revelation of the Kingdom. Stick with BIBLICAL sources. (Get our biblical number meanings here.)

Key Starting Points In Dream and Vision Interpretation

Tools You Need:

  • Holy Bible – I suggest the KJV (King James Version) for established Bible readers and the NLT (New Living Translation) for new believers and beginner Bible readers.
  • Strong’s Lexicon Concordance for Greek and Hebrew
  • Hebrew Alphabet with Alpha Numeric Meanings and Symbols
  • Journal
  • Worksheet (Get printable link for dream worksheet pdf here)

Dream Journal Basics:

  1. Time and date
  2. What activity were you doing in the dream?
  3. What location were you in?
  4. Any strangers? People you know?
  5. What symbols and signs stood out to you?
  6. Any colors stand out to you?
  7. Any vehicles or buildings?
  8. Any animals, birds, or insects?
  9. Any numbers or words?
  10. What is the instruction?
  11. Revelation? What insight? Direction?

Dreams help you in the daily sanctification process that Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit are working in you to bring you healing, growth and prosperity for you to become more of the Image of Christ. So then you can walk in fullness of your purpose and do the works of Christ. Working toward the goal of your full Kingdom authority, in the works of Christ, in the prophetic, prosperity in health and wealth and operating in the glory of God here in the earth!

I found a teaching by Dr. Clarice Fluitt that explains this the best, here is a quote: “Let me tell you how it works. Let me make it so easy. There is a scripture in Proverbs 19:10, and you’ll find the more accurate rendering in the new English contemporary Bible. And it says, “It is a shameful thing for a servant to rule in the house of a king.” I began to realize that my body is a servant, my soul is like a queen, and my spirit is a king.

My queen has been under the influence of a servant all of my life until my King… until I got born again. And the scripture says, “Both he that sanctifies, and he that is sanctified has become one.”

My spirit and the spirit of God became one. A third of me lives in sinless perfection. The mystery of free will, soul, intellect, reason, and emotion is caught between what the servant says. It’s always led by five senses. What does it look like, smell like, taste like, feel like, sound like? These are the gates that the Bible says open all your gates so that the King of Glory can come in and go out.”

This is why we can command our soul to be healed and take authority over our flesh! This is why we SUIT UP in the Armor of God to protect our “gates” or “senses”.  Dreams help us and speed us up in this sanctification process.

Prayer For Prophetic Sight – Seer Anointing – What Is The Eagle Anointing?

Prayer For Prophetic Sight – Seer Anointing – What Is The Eagle Anointing?

By |

The eagle anointing is when you have the faith to persevere and keep your long-term vision of the future. When you are shown eagles you need to look ahead into the future and start speaking, decreeing, and declaring what you see for your long-term vision for the future. Ask for the eagle anointing from the Lord. You can ask for the eagle anointing to come upon you, your spouse, and even your children so that you come together in unity with the same long-term vision for the future. 

It’s time to come shoulder-to-shoulder with your spouse and start talking about what you want and see by faith for your long-term vision for the future for the two of you or for your family. If you don’t have a spouse, do this yourself. Talk about what you want to build, what businesses do you want to do, what do you want to do in ministry.

I prayed that my husband and I would come together shoulder-to-shoulder and have the same long-term vision for the future and that we have the faith to see it through without growing weary. 

Isaiah 40:31 “… but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Pray the prayer below for yourself, your spouse, your children, and your children’s children to have the eagle anointing together with the same long-term vision for the future that God has for you and the faith and fortitude to carry it out. Hold out your hands and be ready to receive as you pray.

Pray Out Loud

  • Heavenly Father, Father God, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, I come before You in humble faith, and I ask now for the eagle anointing. I ask for this eagle anointing to come upon my spouse and I, my children, and my children’s children so that we all have the same vision, according to Your will, Father God, that You have for us for our future and even right now. 


  • In Jesus Christ’s name, by faith, I believe and receive and stand in the gap for my spouse, my children, and my children’s children. We now receive the eagle anointing from You, Father God, by the authority of Jesus Christ, by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and by the will and the Word of God so that we all come into alignment with the long-term vision for our future and even the short-term vision for our plans and purposes right now, and we have the faith and fortitude to carry out this vision. It is clear. It is fully understood, and we are lifted up and soaring into this vision for an appointed time. It will be accelerated to us. 


  • We receive it now, in the name of Jesus Christ, and I will see evidence of me and my spouse and my children and my children’s children coming into unity and agreement with the vision of our future that You have for us, God, and the understanding of that and the desire of that and clarity of that, and all of us working together towards it in faith with no fear. We will not grow weary. We will not fall down. We will soar into this beautiful future, everything You have for us to build, everything You have for us to do, everything that You have for us to receive of Your kingdom and glory here in the earth – health, wealth, prosperity, ministries, businesses, land, homes, fertile fields, orchards, harvests, fruitfulness, territories, influence, joy, peace, shalom, rest on all sides, the upper stream and the lower stream, fresh living waters, and wells we did not dig. 


  • We thank You, Lord. We see it. We believe it. We are soaring towards it as a unified front – me, my spouse, my children, and my children’s children. We see the finances. We see the provision. We see the means and the way and the steps and the strategies to bring us fully into this beautiful future. We are there. We see it. We believe it. We know it. We are soaring into it. We have the eagle anointing, in Jesus Christ’s name. We praise You, Father. We ask You, Holy Spirit to train us all up in this. Reveal, reveal, reveal to us. Bring us angels to assist and opportunities, in Jesus’ name. Amen! Hallelujah!!

 

Prayer For A Key For The Angel To Unlock The Spiritual Potential For Revival In Our Cities

Prayer For A Key For The Angel To Unlock The Spiritual Potential For Revival In Our Cities

By |

By: Jeanette Strauss

Watch this video replay of Annamarie Strawhand with special guest, Jeanette Strauss, teaching on how to “Smash Idols and Take Back Your City and Family for God.” This is what the Holy Spirit recently revealed to Jeanette Strauss to do as the next step after a land assignment.

Follow up by praying the prayer below for your own family and city if you’ve already done a land assignment.

Learn how to do a land prayer assignment HERE.

Get your land, water, and gate kits HERE.

 

Note: If you want to go do a land, gate, or water assignment using Jeanette Strauss’ kits, she is going to add a key to the gate and land kits. There is already one in the water kit. The key is for the angel to go and unlock the spiritual potential for revival in our cities that’s been locked up, and then to go through and lock the doors that need to be locked, and lock out the enemy. 

After doing your land assignment while you’re still in the Court of Heaven before Father God, hold up the key as a prophetic act of faith and pray the following prayer. 

Pray Out Loud

  • “Father, we thank You that we can hold up a key, even the ancient key to the doors. Father, You say You have opened an effective door for us today, and, Lord, we give a key to the angelic keepers of the cities. They’re in charge of the cities, even the churches and the people. Father, we just ask them to take this key, and, Lord, You will decree to them to take the key and go unlock your divine spiritual potential in every life in our city of  our state of  ______ for revival for Jesus Christ. Unlock every door that needs to be unlocked that’s been shut up by the enemy, by these foreign gods. Unlock what’s been locked that needs to be loosed for Your plans and purposes Father God!  We ask, Father, then lock up what needs to be locked up in the cities and teh states and the lives of the people. Lock up the evil, and cast them out into outer darkness, Lord, the evil entities. Send them out. Lock them out of our cities. Father, we thank You for that, Lord, and I ask for divine revelation to come to each person about these keys – keys for their own lives, keys for the family’s lives, keys out of your word. Lord, we ask for more keys. Father, we ask You to do with these keys what needs to be done with them in our cities, regions, and territories to lock and to unlock, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

 

Prayer For Loved Ones To Trade Deception For The Fear And Awe Of The Lord

Prayer For Loved Ones To Trade Deception For The Fear And Awe Of The Lord

By |

We can go before God and ask for a trade because Jesus did the trade on the cross. When I had a loved one in deception, I asked the Lord what I could trade for the deception. The Lord didn’t say to trade it for truth. He said to trade it for the fear of the Lord. I was surprised when He said that to me.

Those who are believing deception are believing the words of the enemy. When you ask for the deception to be traded for the fear of the Lord, what is that? The awe of God, which completely destroys the lies of the enemy, the lies of the world, and even the deception they’ve built up in their own mind because when the fear of the Lord comes upon somebody, it brings them to their knees in repentance immediately. All of a sudden they realize all that’s wrong, all that was a lie because the fear of the Lord comes on them, the awe of God, the mighty power of God, the reality!

Pray Out Loud

  • “Heavenly Father, Father God, on behalf of any of my loved ones who are in deception – the deception of the world and the deception of the lies of the devil – or even if they are an elitist who think they know more than You, God, or are filled with pride thinking that they know more than everybody, including God, I come before You, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, partaking of the trade that was made on the Cross of Jesus Christ, and I trade pride, deception, and fear of man for the fear of the Lord to come upon them right now.


  • “I ask now that the fear of the Lord will come upon them suddenly! That all deception will be immediately removed, pride immediately smote down, and the fear of the Lord will come upon them, the awe of Almighty God and His mighty power and His glory, and they will fall to their knees in repentance, a free gift for all of us. The eyes of their hearts will be enlightened, and the scales will be removed from their eyes because the trade of the Cross of Jesus Christ has been made for them immediately, in Jesus Christ’s name. Thank You, Father God!”

Prayer For Creative Miracles in Finances and Other Areas of Life!

Prayer For Creative Miracles in Finances and Other Areas of Life!

If you want creative miracles in your finances you have to partner with the Holy Spirit and King Jesus. Anytime you want a creative miracle in any area, whether it be over your finances, your body, your land, or your life, you have to speak a miracle into that place. 

The Bible tells us in Genesis 1:1-3 “… and the spirit of the Lord was hovering over the earth, and the earth was void….” There was nothing, but the Holy Spirit was hovering, and God spoke a WORD into the HOVERING of the Holy Spirit. He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 

Do you want a creative miracle in your finances, in your children, in your spouse, in your land? Do you want a creative miracle in your home? Do you want a creative miracle over your body or over someone you’re praying for? Here’s how it works according to the Word of God!

Pray the prayer below and be in expectation for it.

Pray Out Loud

  • “Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus Christ, I invite You to come and hover over my finances (or whatever area you need a miracle in). According to the Word of God in Genesis Chapter 1, I speak the word by faith, by the authority of Jesus Christ, into the hovering of the Holy Spirit over my finances, and I command my finances to multiply abundantly. I speak life into my finances. I speak light into my finances. I speak glory into my finances. I speak abundance into my finances. I speak multiplication into my finances, by the authority of Jesus Christ, into the anointing and the hovering of the Holy Spirit. 


  • “I believe a creative miracle is happening in my finances right now, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. As it is in the creation of the world in Genesis Chapter 1, I speak it into the hovering of the Holy Spirit, a word. By the authority of Jesus Christ, it will be created for me. Thank You, Father God. Thank You, Lord Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit.


  • “Father God, I worship You. I praise You, and I thank You for Your Word. Your Word is Your will for my life. Just like You multiplied the loaves and the fishes for Jesus, You are multiplying my finances as I lift up and dedicate all my finances to You, Father God. Through the blood of Jesus Christ, let my finances be redeemed, blessed, multiplied, and anointed by Your Holy Spirit all for the kingdom and glory of God. I’m in expectation of my miracles in my finances. 


  • “Father God, You are my treasure. You are my source. You are my provider and my creator. Your Holy Spirit is within me and with me. The authority of Jesus Christ works through me. I thank You for the creative miracle in my finances today. It is done! I believe it. I will see the results all around me exceedingly, abundantly more than I ask or think for my finances, for my bank accounts – unexpected, but I expect it because Your Word is true, Father God. 


  • “Financial miracles are my portion, according to the Word of God. Creative miracles are my portion, according to the Word of God in Genesis. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Holy Spirit. Thank You, Father God. Amen. It is done. So be it. Hallelujah! Whoo Hooo!!”

Scripture Reference

Genesis 1:1-3 (NLT)
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. 3 Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

Genesis 1:1-3 (KJV)
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
