The Five Most Important Dreams, Ever!

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 297

The earth has likely been around for eons. The earth in her current state is about six thousand years old. Chapter one of the book of Genesis  in the Bible tells of what is commonly referred to as The Creation. A better way to describe what occurred is a restoration as a careful study shows that what is conveyed is that the earth became “void and without form”.

The Bible tells us that at the time of the most recent restoration of the earth that God found it to be a ball of water existing in complete darkness somewhere out in the universe. We know that the devil was already in the earth as he showed up shortly after the creation of Adam and Eve to beguile them. In little or no time, he had had become the ruler of the earth.

Adam and Eve had handed over to the devil that which belonged to the Lord. This had to be undone. What to do? Man was found to be unreliable so God started the process of doing it Himself.

Even so, God had to work through man because of the way He set the world up – giving man dominion and all. So, just as He had restored the earth by voice command (Utterance) he set about regaining control by speaking. He spoke through man. But, more was needed.

Using mortal man was helpful to God in in moving closer to coming back into ownership and management of His property the earth. Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses and the prophets are examples.

Operating in the earth in a legal fashion, as a man, required a more robust strategy. He had to become a man. These five all important dreams laid the groundwork:

But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 1:20).

And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. (Matthew 2:12-13).

But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child’s life. (Matthew 2:19-20).

But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee: And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. (Matthew 2:22-23).

Why all the drama? Well, God knew that He couldn’t just send the Saviour into the world without getting some pushback from the devil. Because … from the beginning, it was known that the intent of the devil was to devour the Seed of the woman Who was to bruise his head.

Every precaution was necessary to protect the coming of He Who was to become the Anointed Saviour of the world. We see from the above scriptural passages how God through dreams advised Joseph that he should not concern himself with fidelity matters as they pertain to Mary and advised the wise men not to kowtow to Herod. He further advised Joseph to relocate to Egypt and await instructions the murderous intent of Herod.

God later directed Joseph to Israel and Galilee (Nazareth).

In theory without the referenced dreams salvation of all mankind would not be a thing.

KNOCK, KNOCK – JUST A QUIET SATURDAY MORNING

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
Again, he measured a thousand and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again, he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. (Ezekiel 47:1-5). 

And it shall happen afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. (Joel 2:28-29). 

In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, if any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
(But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (John 7:37-39). 

 

During the first week of February 2019, I had a dream in which it seemed like a quiet Saturday morning. I and a couple of my family members were just talking, getting coffee, and working on breakfast – you know, Saturday morning stuff. 

Our house was built on an incline or down-sloping hill. As I looked out of a side window, I saw water rushing down the side of the house. A great rain event had occurred. The level of the water was high and was a cause for concern. 

Just as I was communicating my concern to my family, there was a knock on the front door. I had some concern as there was already water coming into the house between the threshold and door. I nonetheless opened the door to let the person at the door in after discovering that It was someone that we knew. 

I opened the door and pulled the person in fast and closed the door. By then the water was a foot or more deep inside the house. The dream was over. 

The above scriptural passages came to mind. The onslaught of Water near and in my house is none other than the Holy Spirit. 

Further, increasingly I am coming to understand that a “house” in a dream oftentimes is referring to one’s body, a spiritual house as it were. 

Noteworthy, too is the fact that many theologians agree that the end time is at hand. Is eminent. The outpouring of the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) is to be expected right about now. Signs and wonders are become manifest.

The Wind and the Sun

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 391

Last night when the Father gave me this dream, I thought huh? what? 

Here it is. What I initially saw was a vessel (vehicle of sorts) that looked like the Wright brother’s airplane. The creator (entrepreneur) of the craft was doing some initial testing of the design by harnessing available wind at the ground level. 

As the wind blew the craft began to move. Because the initial experiment was in an urban area there were starts and stops to avoid buildings to change direction for farther forward movement. 

It is at this time that I came upon the scene and encountered the gentleman that was working on this project. As we discussed his endeavor, he began to show me what looked like solar panels and he explained to me that he expected to harness energy from the sun that would cause his contraption to soar. The dream was over! 

Yep, like I said, huh? what? 

Did not seem so simple initially but the interpretation of the dream is quite simple; the Father was talking about Himself in the Form of His Spirit and His Son — the wind and the sun. 

I originally posted this on Oct 27, 2018, and now here it is a year and a half later (4/13/2020) and the Lord is giving me Light that the Solar Panels are my inner man having been built up in my most Holy Faith by praying in the Spirit (Praying in Tongues). 

The Father wishes us (the Ecclesia) to consider and put into perspective all His Attributes for a more complete walk and relationship with him so that we may soar Spiritually. 

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14)

Danger Ahead

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 189

The Lord often gives us dreams showing impending danger. The first dream of this nature in the bible is one that a nice person by the name of Abimelech had. 

He had found Abraham’s wife Sarah to be quite attractive and since Abraham had falsely said that she was his sister (this was partially true, as Abraham and Sarah had the same father). Abimelech sent and took Sarah. She was Abraham’s wife though. 

That night God came to him in dream and said “Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.” Now Abimelech had not gone into Sarah because God did not allow it and was able to return her to Abraham and to save his life. The repercussions of a violation by Abimelech would have been catastrophic not only because Abimelech would have died but also the harm that would have come to his country. You can find this fascinating story here. 

Several years ago, a couple, friends of mine, were planning a move to a location in which job opportunities would be better for them. They are both MBA’s. 

A job opportunity for them became available in New York. They started talking about it and making plans to move there. 

While this was happening, the Lord spoke to me in a dream regarding them saying just one word, “Chicago“. I advised them of what God had said suggested that their purpose was to be in Chicago rather than New York. 

Almost immediately they got job offers from Chicago. They moved to Chicago and are still there ten years later. 

Last week I had recurring dreams (doubled). It was about a friend that I went to school with many years ago. We have not been in recent contact but were good friends.  

You have heard me say in the past that when I dream about someone that I know or someone that I do not know (sometimes God just gives me a name) I realize that the Lord wants me to pray for that person. 

I have prayed for him. I took it a step further and tried calling him using a number that I got off the internet. I left a message and hope that he calls me back. I will bet you 25 cents that he has been going through something and the Lord needed someone in the earth to pray and give Him permission to intercede.  

I will be able to assure him the God is concerned about him and has handled the situation; whatever it was! 

If you have a dream that includes sad news, take it to the Lord and give Him permission to re-write the script.

A Fish Out of Water

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 220

Last night I dreamed that I was down at the coast. I was on some sort of platform that was adjacent to the water – a dock of sorts. I am not sure about whether I was fishing or not.

Suddenly there was a big (really big) fish up on the dock and it was trying to get me. It was big enough that if It would have been able to maneuver around a little better I would have been a goner. It’s mouth was big enough to swallow me whole.

I recall striking the monster fish on it’s lips with an object. I was fighting for my safety.

Some of the symbols in this dream are obviously the fish, why it was out of the water, the dock, why was the fish trying to absorb me, the limited ability of the fish to move, the actual location or setting means something that needs to be deciphered and there are other considerations as well.

As I believe the dream to be of the Holy Spirit, the essential question is how does it pertain to my calling to promote the Spiritual growth of the Church.

Well that didn’t take long! Two nights ago I got a call from a publishing company. Stone something or another; a nice fellow by the name of Marcus D calling to let me know that my book, Utterance, Speaking in Tongues and Spiritual Gifts had come to his desk recommended by several book scalpers to have good success potential. They (Stone) were going to help me to get the book exposure and even have it displayed at the London Book Fair. There was even talk that perhaps a traditional publisher would pick it up and offer $35,000 to $250,000 signing bonus.

All indications are that the company is a scam.

Thank you Holy Spirit for the “heads up”.

Barley Bread

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 295

“And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along. 

 And his fellow answered and said, this is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.” (Judges 7:13-14) 

The above scripture is just one of many instances in the Bible where God used symbols to communicate with His people. In this case, Gideon, a “show me” kind of fellow was given added assurance that he would succeed in his assignment against the Midianites. 

Somehow this is my favorite dream story from the Bible – there are many to choose from. 

Tumbling barley bread – Nice!

More Clarity Regarding Understanding Dreams and Visions

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 730

As you might well imagine, I rely primarily on Bible related Dream stories as I endeavor to understand and interpret dreams. I find that dream symbols from the bible are excellent examples or models for us to use in interpreting our dreams today.

It must be said, though, that often in our dreams today the symbols that God uses are related contemporary things of our lives.

So, while the Bible is my number one choice as a reference guide for understanding dreams, I believe that the inserted book will be most helpful in helping you to understand what God is saying to you in your dreams. I have this author’s work in my private library.

“Kill and Eat”- Visions & Dreams & Trances & Angels & Voices, Oh My!

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 442

Not to mention the dream symbols found in this story. Long story short, Cornelius a righteous and giving Italian Centurion had a vision in which he saw that an Angel (which frightened him) had come to bring him a message from God that his giving and prayers had not gone unnoticed but had come up as a memorial before God. He was instructed to send for Peter (and told exactly where he would be) for further instructions. 

 As his men drew near to where Peter was residing, Peter fell into a trance in which he saw, as it were, a sheet lowered down from heaven that had all matter of unclean animals (Peter was Kosher you know) on it. God instructed Peter to “kill and eat”. 

Peter reminded God that he has never eaten an unclean thing. God admonished Peter not to call that which He has cleaned, unclean. He said this to Peter three times. Peter contemplated the vison as the vessel (sheet) was taken back into Heaven. 

So now, the Spirit advised Peter that there were folks at his door and that he should go with them “doubting nothing” as they were sent by Him. The men identified themselves as having been sent by Cornelius and were provided lodging for the night. 

The following day Peter and “certain brethren” of his went with Cornelius’s party back to Cornelius’s home (Caesarea) where Cornelius had invited a welcoming party that included his friends and relatives. 

Peter arrives and after some conversation with Cornelius he preaches the Gospel to these gentiles (the first gentiles to receive the Gospel) who are all saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in Tongues. 

This story demonstrates the vast richness of “dreams and visions” and all the associated intricacies including the trance, direct communication from God (via the Holy Spirit and Angels), dream symbols (the unclean animals representing the gentiles) and certainly several others.

THE SAILBOAT DREAM

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 511

On September 22, 2016, I dreamt that I was out in a sailboat sailing on a river. 

There was a great stone (big rock) adjacent to the river and in the mist of some trees. 

We had word that the stone was about to explode. 

We were currently not moving as we had encountered an obstruction. The waters of the river were flowing nicely. 

I recall adjusting the kick-up rudder to clear the obstruction to be able to sail on. 

The Stone did explode as we began to sail and flow freely. 

As I have said before in this work, the interaction with God in the process is regular. This dream is a good example. 

The message (interpretation) to me is clear; the Stone is the Lord Himself. The river is that which flows from Him eternally (Utterance), the trees are the people (the Saints). The explosion is symbolic of the Spirit of the Lord being poured out on all flesh in this end time. 

The obstruction that was overcome by the navigation adjustment is symbolic of the Enemy. The navigation adjustment represents the Church (Ecclesia) adopting proper protocol where walking in (and by) the Spirit (of the living God) is concerned. 

Utterance is spoken forth through the Saints throughout all the World.

The Lord Of The Harvest

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Views: 375

Dreamt I caught a thief taking something from me. 

Fast forward to another scene and I am suggesting to a preacher that he needs to step down. Meanwhile, I hear the Lord saying that the thief is to be the new preacher. 

It appears to me that the Lord is intent on doing some house cleaning and the thief in the dream is symbolic of the thief that died on the cross next to the Lord. 

The Lord found his heart to be in the right condition to enter the Kingdom (Luke 23:39-43). 

A word of admonishment to the Shepherds; “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent” (Revelation 2:5). 

“Therefore, said he unto them, the harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers into His harvest” (Luke 10:2).

My Dream Flew Away

He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night (Job 20:8).
But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
King Nebuchandnezzar had a dream but he forgot the details of the dream. He did not forget, though, that he was greatly troubled in his spirit by the dream and couldn’t sleep.
He called for all his magicians, sorcerers, Chaldeans and astrologers and demanded that they tell him the dream and the interpretation of it.
After telling them a second time that he didn’t remember the dream he threaten to cut them into pieces and to do some other bad stuff to them if they didn’t tell him the dream and the interpretation.
You’ve heard me say before that dreams are the domain of  God and this story is most inspirational.
It is best that I digress here and send you here for what is one of the most fascinating and informative stories about dreams found in the Bible.

Could They All Interpret Dreams?

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

Check out how quickly Joseph’s brothers and parents were able to interpret Joseph’s dreams. Was dream interpretation pretty commonplace in those days?

5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.

9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.

10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?

Genesis chapter 37. Joseph was one of the most prolific dreamers in the bible. As a side note and topic for another time, Daniel was once given the task of figuring out what Nebuchadnezzar’s dream was (God told him) and then offered the interpretation.

The Barley Bread Victory

| THOMAS HART CLEMENTS

This is perhaps my favorite dream from the bible (perhaps because there are so many good ones). Can be found in the seventh chapter of Judges. Gideon is the main character here. Gideon while obviously a man of God and referred to by God as a “mighty man of valour” and was working hand in hand with God in several tasks and engaged in some lengthy dialogue in Judges chapter six and seven but needed reassurance by God (The Angel of The Lord) and had the Spirit of God upon him was given the following instructions/encouragement by God regarding the task of defeating the Midianites:

9 That same night the Lord said to Gideon, Arise, go down against their camp, for I have given it into your hand.

10 But if you fear to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp

11 And you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp. Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the camp of the armed men.

12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east lay along the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand on the seashore for multitude.

13 When Gideon arrived, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of [a]barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat.

14 And his comrade replied, This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel. Into his hand God has given Midian and all the host.

15 When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped and returned to the camp of Israel and said, Arise, for the Lord has given into your hand the host of Midian.

Note how it appears that dreams and interpretation seemed relatively common place in those days. Read this most interesting and encouraging story in Judges 6 & 7. Jdg 7:1
