Responding to the Dreams That Stir Your Spirit

A few nights ago, I woke in the middle of the night from a dream. I couldn’t fully recall the details at first, but I knew—deep down—it wasn’t a good dream. As I lay there, I began to pray in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, trying to press into the realm of the Spirit for clarity. I kept praying, and after a few minutes, the dream came back to me. I remembered—and I persisted in prayer until I felt a release in my spirit. Then, the Holy Ghost impressed a scripture on my heart.

So, what do we do with dreams that don’t sit right with us? Do we shrug them off and say, “Maybe I just ate too much,” or “It’s just one of those things”? As children of God, we must understand that dreams are one of the ways God speaks to us.

“For God may speak in one way, or in another, yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds…”
— Job 33:14–15

He reveals what is, what has been, and what is to come through dreams. But when we consistently neglect or downplay these spiritual impressions, it’s not that God stops speaking—He continues. However, something powerful happens when we begin to take them seriously: they begin to take root in our hearts, and their reality becomes more vivid in our lives.

“It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.”
— Proverbs 25:2

Our response to spiritual promptings, whether through dreams, visions, or divine nudges, can either pacify, intensify, or stagnate the challenges we face. We carry the Spirit of the Lord within us, and He is always seeking ways to communicate with us. When He speaks through dreams, He desires our response. Don’t dismiss it.

The economy of Jesus invites us into divine partnership if we let Him lead; He navigates our lives according to His perfect will. We see a vivid example in the life of Joseph. The Bible does not record many direct encounters Joseph had with God, but it does emphasize his dreams. These were pictures he held on to, and through them, he was convinced that the Lord was with him, even in the pit and prison.

Friends, even if you’ve never heard God speak audibly, He may have already given you pictures, visions, impressions, and dreams that serve as proof of His presence with you. We are entering a season of divine shift—governments will change, systems will realign, and wealth will be redistributed. God is preparing His people to build structures that will matter in this coming era.

The question is: will you sit with what He has shown you? Will you search it out? Will you prepare for relevance in the season of the shift?

Stay Revived!

Do not be silenced.

We were created in the image of God—not just to exist, but to live out His fullness here on earth as mighty warriors under the authority of the Mighty Man of War.

But what happens when chaos surrounds us?
How do you hold on to this identity when the horn has sounded, the war is raging, and the enemy is already in your yard?

It’s time to wake up.
Your yard has been invaded, and many are still keeping cool—passive, unaware.
Heaven is waiting.
Waiting for the instructions we declare, so they can be carried out in the spirit.

“You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; so light will shine on your ways.”
— Job 22:28 (NKJV)

Christianity without Christ is powerless.
He is the One who teaches us how to pray, how to fight, and how to live in victory.
Don’t be one who wears a polished outward image, yet remains spiritually blind to the fact that life is a battlefield.
There is no neutral ground.

You must awaken to your divine purpose and face the situations before you with heaven’s strategy.
These are not strategies of flesh—they are only revealed in the place of spiritual warfare.

And the good news? Victory is possible—but only for those who take the right posture.

It takes courage to fight when your prayers seem unanswered.
The battlefield may look manageable at first, but as the fight continues, blood is shed.
But don’t forget that the blood required for your freedom has already been shed: the blood of Jesus.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.”
— Revelation 12:11 (NKJV)

Be resilient. Persist. Victory is ahead.

We weren’t created in God's image just to sit behind counters and accept whatever life gives us.
We were made in the image of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—which means we carry the strength, authority, and character of the Trinity.

We cannot be calm when our spiritual walls are being broken down.
We cannot settle when life contradicts the Word of the Lord concerning us.
We cannot remain still when we’re becoming a shadow of the very image He called us to bear.

Some say, “Why always pray? Why always war?”
But remember: the world is filled with both good and evil, and God allows the rain to fall on both.
If you remain silent concerning your pain, your oppression, your battles—He also watches you.

“He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
— Matthew 5:45 (NKJV)

If you stay silent in suffering, it will persist.
If you ignore the war, you leave your gates unguarded.

There is a posture required in warfare—your mind must align with heaven’s agenda.
You must discern when to move, when to wait, and when to rise.
Victory belongs to those who fight with divine strategy, not human strength.

So take your place.
This is more than spiritual warfare—this is a mindset shift, a cultural shift, a behavioral shift.
You are a warrior. We will not be silenced.

Do you Desire a Better Way to Live?

I desire a better way; those were my thoughts when I encountered an incident in the environment of my first and second-grade classrooms.

The enemy hasn’t just developed strategies to infiltrate our surroundings; he has also created cultures that undermine our children. He understands that culture is shaped by people, so he plants seeds from an early age to destroy the future God has planned for them.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:14 (NIV)

Because of this open invitation to children, we can also apply it metaphorically — to childlike stages in our businesses, marriages, careers, or ministries. These vulnerable beginnings are where the enemy attempts to plant seeds of corruption.

It is through children that God shapes us into His image. We must regain childlike faith to fully receive God’s desires for our lives. Losing this innocence leads to a corrupted generation— one that God may eventually judge, just like in the days of Noah.

 In our African context, we often hear words of correction, advice, and struggle, but these matters go beyond the physical. We must return to the One who gave us our children, who planted those dreams and purposes in our hearts.

There is a better way to live.God has not only given us children (whether literal or symbolic), but He has also provided divine strategies to raise and protect them.

When we keep turning to God, the Giver of every good seed, we fulfill His command:  

“Be fruitful and multiply” — not just in number, but in righteousness, purpose, and legacy.

He covers when and where he sends.

There are two distinct events I have been involved in recently. Days before I accepted this job offer, I had a dream that I strangely couldn't understand. Additionally, there were instances in the work environment that, looking back, I can ultimately conclude were signs from God indicating that I should not work there. However, because I couldn't read the signs, I stepped into that position. Since God's plan for me did not include that specific place, I found myself easily caught in the enemy’s schemes and manipulations whenever they arose.

It is very easy for us to make choices and decisions on our own, but I have found that if we truly want to walk in the fullness of this scripture:

"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty" (Psalm 91:1, NKJV),

we must recognize that God has drafted every aspect of our lives within His almighty plan. His covering for us is so detailed that we can only find true safety when we align ourselves with His agenda—not just with what we think is right or best.

God desires to provide for our needs and guide us to live our best lives. Even though He is all-knowing, His protection is designed in such a way that we are fully covered only when we walk in His divine path. When we step out of alignment, even if His wings are extended toward us, our protection becomes limited, and we are left depending on His mercy.

Alignment is not for God’s benefit—it’s for ours. Every area of our lives—health, prosperity, fruitfulness, marital peace, career success, and even parenting—is connected to walking in sync with His will.

God’s covering is linked to our obedience and alignment—like a divine insurance package. As you go out today, seek God’s way above all else.
