Prophetic Insight: Is God Showing You A Dragonfly? What Does It Mean?

Prophetic Insight: Is God Showing You A Dragonfly? What Does It Mean?

This is a transcription of an excerpt of the broadcast of Life in the Faith Lane on February 21, 2022.

Watch the video, and then read the transcript and poem below and see the links for resources on dreams that follow.

 

ANNAMARIE: Do y’all know the story of the dragonfly? It’s very prophetic. When we look at animals, and I have li, I have little bluebirds on too, my little bluebird earrings. My daughter gave me those. 

But the dragonfly, when you, when you see cr, animals in nature, you see nature, and you think, “Wow, I keep seeing dragonflies,” or, “I keep seeing butterflies. Is that the Holy Spirit speaking to me? Is that God telling me something?” Yes, it is! The Holy Spirit will speak to you through nature. He will speak to you through His creation. All right? 

And you have to be very careful. Do not look up on Google, you know, “Oh, what does the dragon, what is the spiritual meaning of a dragonfly?” Be very careful because it will lead you into, uh, the, the occultNew Age meanings which are not of God. They’re not of God, right? There’s, there’s no such thing as a spirit animal. No. No. There is not. There’s only one spirit. That’s the Holy Spirit. He created it all, and He created everything with meaning to teach us, to, to use to teach us and to lead us. 

So when you see an animal, and you keep seeing it over and over and over again, just go to the Holy Spirit and say, “What are you trying to speak to me, Holy Spirit? What are you trying to tell me?” And He will lead you to why He created that creature, how He created that creature, what’s the nature of that creature, okay? 

So with the dragonfly, it’s so beautiful. The dragonfly is like the little mudbug for like the longest time. She has like this really hard shell, and she lives under the murky waters, you know, and, um, she usually is like along the bottom, like, you know, in the swampy area. 

But when it, it’s, it’s, it’s time for her to grow, when it’s time for her to transform, it’s time for her to pull herself up out of those, the muddy bottom, right, pull herself up out of the mud and look for a stalk or a, a, a reed or a, a plant or usually a strong stalk of grass in the water. 

And she will begin to grab ahold of that stalk of grass and begin to climb up, and as she climbs up out of that mud and out of that mire, right, she climbs up just above the water line. She gets herself above the waters and grabs ahold of that piece of grass, and she allows the sun to gently warm her and dry out that crusty shell. And the warm winds and, right, the warm spring winds and the warms, the warming of the sun begins to dry out that crusty shell on the dragonfly, right? 

And then soon, that shell cracks open. It cracks open, and her wings begin to emerge out of that crusty shell, and these beautiful, sparkly, bejeweled wings, and, and her eyes begin to sparkle. And her wings begin to sparkle, and she begins to stretch out of that shell, and the sun warms her and glistens on her wings. 

And she looks like a beautiful jewel. She’s come out of the mud. She’s come out of them mire. She’s climbed to the higher place. She’s climbed into the light, and the, the beautiful soft, warming winds, right, like the breath of life, the breath of the Holy Spirit begins to blow on her. 

The warming light of the beams of Jesus Christ begin to shine on her, and she begins to sparkle and shine and grow and stretch. And she’s like, “I’m going to climb a little higher, and I’m going to leave that crusty shell behind me, and I’m going to shine for Jesus.” 

So she climbs out of that shell, and she gets to the very, very tippy top of that grass, right. She gets to the very, very tippy top of that grass, and she’s, she’s glistening in the sunlight. She’s glistening in the sunlight. Then all of a sudden, she waits for the perfect breath of wind, the perfect breath of wind like that perfect breath of the Holy Spirit to just get up underneath her wings so she can start to move her wings and start to flutter and soar and then that beautiful breath of the Holy Spirit comes upon her, that beautiful perfect wind as she glistens in the sunshine, and she launches her feet off that piece of grass. And she takes that leap of faith, and the winds are beautifully on her wings and the sun glistening as she shines and sparkles in the sunlight as, as the winds and the breath of life propel her and she soars across the glistening waters. Hallelujah! 

And do you know what the dragonfly eats for lunch? Mosquitoes! Mosquitoes. Those pesky blood suckers! Mosquitoes that cause disease and cause problems, the dragonfly is a great example of who we are, who we are, how we grow, how we transform. 

And it, it’s so connected to scripture. It is God that plucks our feet out of the mirey mud. Maybe Beth can find that scripture in Psalms, right. You pull my feet, O Lord, O God, out of the mirey clay, out of the mirey mud, right. And then even in Isaiah where it says, those who wait upon the Lord, right, those who wait upon the Lord will neither stumble, right, they will, they will be lifted up and, like up, up on like eagle’s wings, right, like the dragonfly, she’s lifted up. It’s, it’s, we, she, she just wa, she just waits just for that perfect moment with the Holy Spirit, that breath of life. And she’s lifted up like eagle’s wings. The Lord will always lift you up.

And we’ve got to crack out of our shell, right. We’ve got to come out of, of, um, you know, we got to know that we can be confident to sparkle in the light of Jesus, that He is with us. He wants us to crack out of these shells, crack out of these worldly ways and sparkle and shine for him and spread our wings. 

So I love the dragonfly, and I’ve got these hairpins, they’re these little hairpins. I got them for my wedding, and I wore them for my rehearsal dinner for my wedding 22 years ago.

Michael Lee Strawhand and I will be married 22 years April 22. We’re both born on March 22. We have the same birthday, me and my husband. We have the same birthday, March 22. 

And when we got married in North Carolina, we, we, well, I was working in NASCAR, so I had to make sure … I had a lot of friends that were going to come to the wedding from NACAR, and I had to have it on a weekend that there was no races. And so I had to have it on Easter weekend because they don’t race on Easter, and so, uh, April 22 of, uh, the year 2000 is when Mike and I got married in North Carolina, and it was Easter weekend. It was so awesome. And so 22 is me and Mike’s number. And I didn’t even know back then that it meant key. Now I know. Oh, look at God. Look at God. 

So I hope you enjoyed that story of the dragonfly, and what I’ll do is I’ll have our wonderful tech director, David Piccirillo, make a video about the dragonfly for you all and that story.

And I wrote a poem. I wrote a poem. Uh, I wrote a poem about the dragonfly for my daughter, Landry, for her, her 19th birthday, and I gave it to her. 

And, uh, that dragonfly story was given to me by the Holy Spirit because I kept seeing them, and I kept asking the Holy Spirit, “What are  you saying to me?” And, um, He told me, “Annamarie, you’re going through a time of transformation, and you’re about to shine. You’re about to soar, and you’re about to shine.” And it was a time where I was not soaring or shining, and I had to really believe Him, and I had to really stretch myself up higher and reach for Him. 

And, um, when you grab ahold of Him and you reach for Jesus and you, you pull yourself to His light, He will meet you there, my friend. So if you’re not feeling very sparkly right now, you’re not feeling very shiny, um, and you feel like you’re about to go through a transformation, look to this little story of the dragonfly and know that He is pulling you up out of the mud and out of the mire and out of the darkness, and He wants you to grab ahold of Him and, and be faithful and climb higher and climb towards His light, and let the Holy Spirit breathe on you and break open out of that shell and then watch what He does with you. Isn’t that beautiful? 

All because He showed me a dragonfly. You know, the Holy Spirit wants to speak to you that way. He, He wants to show you these things in nature to encourage you. That’s what the prophetic is, right? The prophetic is to encourage you, to lead you, to give you the step-by-steps to move you forward so you can bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life and fulfill what Jesus Christ has called you to do. Amen? Oh, I hope that story blessed you, of the dragonfly. 

Gabriela Parrot says, “Praise God, I’m grabbing on to Him.”

Barbara Wade says, “Believe even when you can’t see Him. Thank You, Jesus.”

Beth Shibley bringing scripture: Psalm 13:3 – “Turn and answer me, O Lord my God. Restore the sparkle to my eyes…”

I just said that about the dragonflies also becoming sparkly. That’s beautiful scripture, Beth. I love it.

What are y’all saying here? Is this blessing you, my friends? I hope so. I hope so. Little dragonfly. 

Hope Dickinson: “Amen, God is so faithful.”

Duncan Dee says, “We have lots of dragonflies all the time.”

You know, many of you … I’ve told that story, uh, uh, prophetic story about the dragonfly many times, but what we’ll do is we’ll create a page on my website with the poem, and we’ll take this little story that I just did on video, and we’ll put that on there for you so you all can always have it to encourage you. And ask the Holy Spirit to show you a dragonfly today just out of faithfulness. He will. He might show it to you in a picture. He  might show it to you on a design of something. He wants to talk with you and walk with you. Amen?

Following is the poem I wrote for my daughter:

The Damsel Dragonfly
By Annamarie Strawhand
Dedicated to Landry Leigh Strawhand – 5/1/21

Damsel was ready to climb up from the muddy, deep waters
She was young but knew she was made to soar to great heights
Ready to feel the wind in her wings and the sun on her face
Her hard shell was heavy, but she was ready to break out
A sturdy reed to climb upon was before her
She pulled herself up, climbing out up of the murky water into the sunlight
The warm breeze blew on her shell as the sun gently warmed her
Damsel’s shell cracked open, and her wings began to emerge
She took a step, and her shell fell off as the light was fully upon her
She stretched her wings, glistening in the sun
She climbed to the top of the reed on her tiptoe
Bravely, she let go
The breeze came under her wings and lifted her above the waters
Clean, new, light, and dry, sparkling in the sun
Damsel SOARED!

DREAM INTERPRETATION FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE – HOW TO CANCEL A BAD OR DEMONIC DREAM

ANNAMARIE STRAWHAND: DOES GOD GIVE US NIGHTMARES?

THE MEANING OF SEEING REPEATING NUMBERS – WHO, WHAT, AND WHY THEY ARE BEING SHOWN TO YOU

THE MEANING OF SEEING REPEATING NUMBERS – WHO, WHAT, AND WHY THEY ARE BEING SHOWN TO YOU

WHY ARE YOU SEEING REPEATED NUMBERS?

It is very important that you all understand that when you are seeing repeated numbers, this is from the HOLY SPIRIT. He is the one who guides and speaks in numbers and signs to you, personally, and for your personal walk in faith. When you see these numbers, make a note of the time and date and where and when it was shown to you. Then ask Holy Spirit to give you understanding and a strategy moving forward. The Holy Spirit is speaking to you, and He is lining you up with the word and will of God for the next steps in your life and purpose.

Jesus said He would ask the Father to send us a helper, and He (yes, the Holy Spirit is a person, and He is a he) is helping you in these ways—by showing you numbers, colors, signs, and confirmations in the word. Why? Because it is His job to insure that you fulfill all that you are called to do and that you complete your life’s purpose given to you by God and written for you in Heaven by Jesus Christ Himself—the author and finisher of your faith. (Watch my teaching:  Is it Ok to Ask The Holy Spirit For A Sign?)

Angels do not give us these signs. They are messengers who bring a message directly from the Father as they stand in the presence of the throne of God. Angels do not show you numbers. Their messages are only for major, timely assignments from God Himself that have to do with more corporate kingdom purposes for the greater good of the world and the nations. (Luke 1:19 I am Gabriel,” replied the angel.  I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. (THIS WAS A MAJOR EVENT ANNOUNCING THE PLAN OF JOHN THE BAPTIST TO BE BORN OF ZECHARIAH AND ELIZABETH). However, the Bible does tell us that the angels can be sent to minister to us for our needs and be sent on assignments. We actually have authority to command them through our seat as a king and priest through Christ Jesus. See Hebrews 1:13-14. I have some deep teachings on the angelic and how to send them on assignments through your seat of authority in Christ in Chapter 12 of my book, Faith At Full Speed. Get my book here.

Angels of the Lord are fierce fighters—our protectors—and do assignments only at the authority of JESUS CHRIST through Him working in us. Angels do not “guide” your purpose and do not give you understanding of what your calling and purpose is. That is strictly the work of the Holy Spirit. HE IS your partner, guide, and communicator.

If you think you have an “angel guide” communicating with you, be very careful. This is a demonic familiar spirit. They are very possessive and hard to get rid of. They can begin to bring havoc into your life if you do not do what they want. If you think you may have unknowingly opened a door to a demonic familiar spirit, you can repent to God for opening that demonic door. Ask Jesus to cover it all with His blood, and then come out of agreement with anything having to do with that familiar spirit!  Then, in the name of Jesus, command that familiar spirit to leave right now! You renounce it, rebuke it, and command it in Jesus’ name to leave you immediately. You do not belong to them! Tell them you are done with them forever, and send them to the uninhabited dry place to stay until Jesus Christ comes and tells them where to go. Forbid it from ever coming near you or your family again! Then, ask the Holy Spirit to come and take over every area where that familiar spirit vacated.  (Learn here how to remove and close off any demonic doors.)

We do not command the Holy Spirit, nor do we have authority over Him. He is the PRESENCE OF THE LIVING GOD on the earth and within you—your partner. He works with YOU as a gift from God the Father as a part of Himself to be with you always. He begins by giving you subtle signs and nudges that He is there and wants to be your Helper. He usually starts these subtle signs with showing you repeated numbers. He will not force Himself on you. You must acknowledge, accept, and invite Him to be your complete partner. After that, You are never walking alone or in the dark. He has all the knowledge, short cuts, strategies, directions, answers, revelation, and wisdom you could ever need, and He wants to share it with you!

Jesus said He only did what the Father told Him to do. That was the Holy Spirit communicating to Him while on His earthly ministry. Jesus was specific with numbers in His life to confirm prophecy and to teach. Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy and the Word. For example, Jesus said we are to forgive others “seventy times seven” in response to Peter’s question, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?” (Matthew 18:21-22).  The number 7 means God has completed a thing. Its God’s number of completion. In other words, when you forgive someone, completely forgive them as God does with you!

The HOLY SPIRIT IS THE ONMI-PRESENCE OF GOD COMMUNICATING AND GUIDING YOUR DAILY LIFE.  If you have not invited the Holy Spirit to come and be your partner, you can ask Him to come where you can hear Him more clearly. You can do so here with my prayer. The two most important things the Holy Spirit points you to is: 1.) The word of God and 2.) A deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.

The Holy Spirit is always speaking and leading, and He loves to use repeated numbers to communicate with you. He also uses colors to speak. If you are seeing repeated colors or a certain color in dreams, go to the BIBLICAL meaning of these colors with WORSHIP FLAGS. Those who make the worship flags have deeply studied these color meanings in the Bible.  Here is a biblical colors resource: https://www.flagsofworship.com/Colors.html

The numbers and colors that you see should always lead you to produce GOOD FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, CONFIRM WITH THE WORD OF GOD, AND BRING A NEXT STEP OR UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR NEXT STEPS FOR YOUR PURPOSE OR YOUR ANSWERED PRAYER—STRATEGY FOR YOUR LIFE. This should always draw you into a closer relationship with your Father God and our Lord Jesus Christ and a deeper partnership with the Holy Spirit, never ever fear or confusion!  Fear is not of God, and the enemy is the author of confusion. The numbers you are being shown from the Holy Spirit should work to bring more clarity and faith in your life!

Now, let’s get focused on the numbers …

Here are my biblical teachings on some common numbers: 

111 –  Multiplication of your blessing, a seed you have sown is coming to harvest. (Deut 1:11) Another meaning to seeing 111 is God is waiting on HIS WORD to come out of YOUR MOUTH so it can be activated, accelerated, and multiplied. This is a multiplication blessing also of 111. God watches over His word to perform it.  You speak it boldly by faith He accelerates and multiplies it! We know that 11 and 11:11 mean WAKE UP, you are about to see the Glory of God! Speak by faith what you want to see activated, accelerated, and multiplied!  Jeremiah 1:11-12 “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Jeremiah, what do you see?’ And I said, ‘I see the branch of an almond tree.’ 12 Then the Lord said to me, ‘You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.’” NOTE: In Jeremiah 1:11, the almond tree was known as the “awake tree” because it was the first tree to bud in the new year (late January). It was the symbol of watchfulness in Israel.

222 – Key to a strategy or special divine assignment – Jesus Himself is giving you the Key to do it. (Isaiah 22:22) See my teaching video, “Abraham’s Key – Divine Key From God – 222” to learn more.

333 – Call upon God to show you the hidden things. Apocalypse (ἀποκάλυψις, apokálypsis) is a Greek word meaning “revelation —an unveiling.” An apocalypse is a disclosure or revelation of great knowledge. Scripture reference: Jeremiah 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” See my Prayer of Discernment to call upon God to show you the hidden things.

 444 – There is an open door for you – the timing of going through a new door. 4 means ‘door’ in Hebrew. 444 is also the musical chord or frequency that King David played on his harp;  444 — door to heavenly frequencies and healing. 

555 – The Grace of God is upon you to do something big or even more grace for your current situation: Learn more on my 555 teaching video.

666 – The number of “man” or “the flesh” usually a warning to take a look at yourself if you are relying more on man’s ways than God’s ways.

777 – God has completed something major in your life.

888 – New beginnings and Jesus Christ.

999 – Judgement of sin – repent. Prepare to birth a new thing in your life.

10:10 – God’s commandments, and He is bringing everything into alignment according to His word and His will for your life.

11:11 – Awakening – wake up, pay attention, you are about to see the Glory of God in your life. Read more on 11:11

12:12 – God’s perfect Government; one new man – Jew and Gentile coming together. The 12 Tribes of Israel converging with Jesus 12 Apostolic Government coming together as one. This is for the nations and for the people of God. If you see it, it means it’s time for you to start studying more on Yeshua Jesus as Messiah and the Hebrew roots of our Faith.  Here is my word on the 12:12.

 

THE MEANING OF SEEING 911 – ANGELS – ANGELIC ASSISTANCE – THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH 
911: The Holy Spirit reminded me about the Angelic that is all around us and was showing me 911 repeatedly and First Responder Vehicles.  Psalm 91:11 “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” Many times the Holy Spirit has revealed to me when you see first responder vehicles that is directly representing the presence of the Angels of the Lord in the area. I realized that when we declare God’s word out loud, the Angels of the Lord, harken (come close and are ready to assist) to the word of the Lord. I believe this is confirmation that we should speak Psalm 91 throughout the day, and know by faith the Angels have been dispatched and activated all around you, their protection is so detailed that they even keep you from stubbing your toe! Psalm 91:12 “They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.” I have been declaring Psalm 91 fully over myself and my family every day and I encourage you too as well. Seeing 911 repeatedly could be the Holy Spirit prompting you to do this. Also another meaning to seeing 9:11 repeatedly is the fulfillment of God’s promise for revival and restoration from Amos 9:11  “In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old.”  The tabernacle of David was a tent where David went to worship and sing to God in the Presence of God.   You may be called to be a part of revival, setting up tents and even to evangelize those to Christ.  This is connected to God’s promises of restoration, restitution and His Kingdom being established on earth as it is in Heaven.

#numbermeanings #911 #Psalm91 #angelic #Amos911 #tabernaclerestored

Note: For double digit, non-matching numbers being shown to you, such as 81, 52, 63, etc., these almost always point to chapters in Psalms or Isaiah since these books go up the highest in chapters. However, use discernment and ask the Holy Spirit to point you to the correct book in the Bible. You may not get confirmation from Psalms or Isaiah for answer to your current situation. I keep seeking that number in the word until I get a confirmation in my spirit. Confirmation should feel like a leaping in the very core of your being. You just know that you know!  It’s a wow moment that always connects to your current situation or one you have been praying for.

Numbers going up in order such as 123, 1234, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999, 1010 – this means the Holy Spirit is working with you to bring things in your life into order and alignment with the will of God for you and your purpose. Ask Him to keep giving you confirmation when you take a step to see the next number in succession to confirm you are on the right path!

Biblical Number Meanings References:

Now other good BIBLICAL teachers of this that I personally recommend are Pastor Troy Brewer with “Numbers That Preach” and PropheticNumbers.com . You can also use Hebrew based alpha numeric meanings as well as the Strong’s Concordance of the Hebrew meanings of the numbers if four in a row. THE HEBREW LANGUAGE IS ALPHA NUMERIC AND NUMBERS MEAN WORDS. It is God’s language, and this is how He speaks to us. Yes, ancient Aramaic Hebrew is the language God wrote with HIS OWN FINGER on stone on the 1o commandments. I encourage you to study the Hebrew alphabet and numerical meanings. An excellent teacher of this is Rabbi Jason Sobel.

Bibilcal Numbers Resource Referring Scripture: https://www.biblestudy.org/bibleref/meaning-of-numbers-in-bible

Is Gematria okay? I get many questions on this. Gematria is an ancient Hebrew practice of adding up numbers and letters to get insight on what God is doing with a situation. I was very concerned about Gematria, so I stayed away from it and waited for the Holy Spirit to give me understanding if it was okay. God showed me clearly that He speaks through numbers, that He is intentional and He is mathematical. In my faith growth journey, I did open up to studying more on Gematria and asked the Holy Spirit to confirm.

One time, the Holy Spirit did use Gematria with me to confirm something with adding up numbers.  This was about four or five years ago. He spoke to me a specific five-digit number. I was lying in bed one night after a day with my hubby that was not exactly harmonious for us. I was seeking the Holy Spirit for comfort, and  I heard in my spirit “90643.” I heard it three times. I immediately wrote it down and asked the Holy Spirit to reveal to me what that meant. I searched out zip codes and all kinds of things and nothing made sense to my situation. I kept this in my notes and told the Holy Spirit I trusted Him to confirm when the time was right.

Over a year later, I was praying for confirmation on my ministry assignment from the Lord, and if my Husband and I were ever going to work together in the ministry. Things did not seem like my husband was going to come on board with me, but I had been praying for a sign of God’s faithfulness and confirmation that God was working on him, as I was feeling discouraged. I had been sending the Holy Spirit as my helper to work on Mike and to bring us together in the ministry for the Lord. My husband, Mike, and I have the same birthday, March 22nd. We were married on April 22nd. It’s very obvious that our number is 22. At that time, I was NOT seeing the number 22 for any confirmation at all. I was then led to a teaching on Gematria by Pastor Troy Brewer  (over a year after getting this 90643 number from the Holy Spirit). I felt a prompting in my spirit to use Gematria and add up the numbers: 9+0+6+4+3=22. I was floored! It added up to 22! This was the sweetest confirmation from the Holy Spirit, and I knew He was with me and Mike and all would come to pass that I was praying for!

Just one time in five years has the Holy Spirit led me to Gematria. He does NOT use it for everything. The Holy Spirit speaks in many ways, not just through numbers. He can speak through another person and animals and nature. (NOT “spirit animals!” Stay away from that; it is not of God!) For animals and nature, look how God created it and it’s behavior. There is a message in each creature and why God created it. Is the plant or animal in the Bible? For instance, butterflies and dragonflies represent transformation. Roses represent Jesus—the Rose of Sharon. Eagles represent vision and rising up and soaring in power and strength, etc. Holy Spirit has spoken to me through cars, trucks, and types of vehicles that He has pointed out to me on a given day. For example, first responder vehicles, police cars, and fire engines represent the angelic of the Lord in the area.

Be warned that you cannot put God in a BOX and go hyper-focused on one thing! There are people out there who use Gematria for everything and have very seriously been led astray and led others astray in the process! UNDERSTAND God can speak through anything He has created and anything in your path each day! It is us who must be praying for discernment to have our eyes and ears and spirit tuned into HIS VOICE and what HE wants you to see and pay attention to! Remember to write it down and thank the Holy Spirit for bringing it to your attention.

I want to warn you, do not look up the meanings of “angel numbers.” That is NOT of God. It is New Age occult and demonic.  PLEASE STAY BIBLICAL OR YOU COULD GO DOWN A VERY WRONG PATH IN YOUR LIFE.  God’s word never lies and will keep you on track!

Dream Interpretation From A Biblical Perspective – How To Cancel A Bad or Demonic Dream

Dream Interpretation From A Biblical Perspective – How To Cancel A Bad or Demonic Dream

Here are some things to understand with dreams:

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.  (See my soul cleansing 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.  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 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.

DEMONIC DREAM INTERPRETATION – IF THE DREAM HAD ANY NEGATIVITY, FEAR, STRIFE, ANGRY PEOPLE, CONFUSION,  OR YOU WERE LOST, WANDERING, LOSING THINGS, LOOKING FOR STOLEN THINGS, GETTING INTO STRANGE VEHICLES, STRANGER DRIVING YOU,  STRANGE PEOPLE FORCE FEEDING YOU – BEING CHASED, ATTACKED OR HELD CAPTIVE,  CAR ACCIDENTS, DEATH,  SEXUAL PERVERSION, THAT IS DEMONIC AND NEEDS TO BE CANCELLED AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP – USE DISCERNMENT – IF IT CAUSED YOU ANY FEAR OR UPSET FEELING IN YOUR SPIRIT LISTEN TO THAT FEELING – FEAR, STRIFE, STRANGE STUFF THAT CAUSES CONFUSION IS NOT FROM GOD!!

Pray this to cancel a bad or demonic dream: “Father God in the name of Jesus I cancel that dream I had about _______. I renounce everything in that dream in Jesus name and I enforce the Blood of Jesus over that dream and mark that dream and everything that happened in that dream null and void in Jesus name! By the authority of Jesus Christ and by the power of the blood of Jesus, I send all curses and witchcraft sent to harm me in that dream back to the place from where it was sent and close the doors to all curses and witchcraft and seal it with the Blood of Jesus Christ!  Father God, in Jesus name I ask you to release your Holy Fire against any demons or demonic assignments in that dream and burn them to ashes!  Henceforth nothing from that dream will never be able to bother me again!  Father God, I ask you to send me Angelic protection over my dreams and sleep.  I receive your Angels Father God, thank you for sending them to keep me in all my ways, according to your word in Psalm 91.  I declare every night from this day forward I shall have sweet sleep and Holy Spirit filled dreams!  I now invite the Holy Spirit to come into my dreams tonight!  I declare my dreams are covered and protected by the Blood of Jesus Christ!  Thank You Father God for your love, promises and protection over my dreams and sleep!  Father God,  I believe you are doing all things for my good, even speaking to me in my dreams and I want to hear your voice Father God! I now dedicate and consecrate my dreams and sleep to you Father God all the days of my life, for Your Glory in Jesus name!”

Confess this out loud today: “I hear from God. I am led by His Holy Spirit. I know my Father’s voice, and the voice of a stranger I will not follow. I am guided by the Holy Spirit and God will guide me all the days of my life. His HOLY SPIRIT will guide me and give me the answers that I need. I renounce all unholy, ungodly voices!  Therefore, I invite the HOLY SPIRIT right now to come inside me and guide me.  I command my mind, body, soul and spirit to yield to the voice of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name!”

For Children: You can put your hands on your child’s forehead and simply pray: “In Jesus name I cancel the bad dream and I ask You Jesus to send your Angels to protect ________ while she/he sleeps.  We invite You Holy Spirit and Lord Jesus to come into his/her dreams to bring sweet and happy messages and restful sleep in Jesus name, Amen”

Children’s Bedtime Note: it is helpful to anoint your children before bed to soothe them, invite the Holy Spirit and declare scripture over them before they sleep – see my anointing prayers here.

3.) Holy Spirit Dreams – These dreams are messages, instruction and confirmations from God for your life and for others lives. All dreams from the Holy Spirit must be written down and dated, then ask the Holy Spirit to give you guidance on that dream meaning and how to apply it.  This could take days, weeks and even months before you have the full revelation.  Holy Spirit dreams can be special things 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, 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.

NOW please understand – your dream meanings 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. For color meanings, look up the meanings of the colors of WORSHIP FLAGS. These colors have been deeply studied from the bible before these flags are made.  This is my source the Holy Spirit led me to and He has confirmed it over and over again.  For number meanings, I suggest the teachings of Troy Brewer “Numbers That Preach/PropheticNumbers.com” for a good Biblical resource.  Driving a vehicle in your dream means your Divine Purpose or Ministry.  Being in houses that need cleaning, restoration means your “soul needs a cleanup” (see my Soul Cleansing Prayer Here.)   Being in houses of your family means your family bloodline may need repentance – and to pray for your family’s salvation – it can also mean to focus on praying for your family to receive their blessings and inheritance and to go into the Courts of Heaven to remove any curses.  Being in a bathroom or going to the bathroom means you must repent of your sins and focus on soul cleansing and cleaning up your life. These are common things.  I do my best to help you.  Seeing certain animals in dreams should only be studied from biblical meanings or the nature of how God made that animal.  If the animal attacks you that is demonic and must be canceled.  DO NOT LOOK UP these things randomly online because it could lead you to new age and occult meanings that is NOT of God, understand ‘spirit animals’ is NOT of God!  We only have the HOLY SPIRIT, period – and HE is creator of all living things, and His Spirit – The Spirit of the Living God is alive on the earth speaking through all creation right now to us.  For example if you see a dragonfly or a butterfly repeatedly in the natural or in your dreams – the Holy Spirit is giving you a message, look up the nature of these – how do they grow, transform, what is their nature? God put a message for us in the nature of His creation, that could apply to your life at that moment.

Now if you are not sure if a dream is from God or not, Pray this prayer when you wake up:  “Holy Spirit, if that dream was not of you, I do not receive it in Jesus name. But, Holy Spirit, if that dream was of you, I receive it and ask for the interpretation, understanding, application and how to pray and proceed in Jesus name.”

Before you go to sleep, cover your dreams and sleep with the blood of Jesus. Cancel any demonic assignments and any demons that were assigned to you that night and tell them to leave and forbid them from touching your dreams and sleep in Jesus name the blood of Jesus is against them! Decree you have sweet sleep as written in the bible and your dreams and sleep belong to God. Invite Jesus and the Holy Spirit to visit you in your dreams and give you divine strategies for your life from the throne room of God in your sleep! Ask Father God in Jesus Name to post His Sentry Angels to surround your bed and stand guard over you with their fiery swords and shields as you sleep and protect you from all evil day and night. Anoint your bed on all four corners and your head and feet with anointing oil. Decree your bed holy and belongs to God! (See anointing prayers here.)

Be blessed! The Holy Spirit will guide you through your dreams and He always points to the word of God to confirm things – so stay in the word and He will reveal so much to you on your next steps in your life and purpose!

Sweet and restful dreams and sleep is God’s promise to you!

Proverbs 3:24 “When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.”

Much love to you and enjoy your sleep – it’s the best time to get revelation from the Holy Spirit!  He WANTS to speak to you in your dreams!  He loves to meet you there and help you with your life and purpose!
