How Do I Know If My Dreams Are From God?

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Well, hey, everyone, you're listening to the Curt Landry podcast where we're going to help

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,380
you discover your kingdom destiny.

3
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:15,520
My name is Darrell and sitting right beside me is Rabbi Curt Landry himself.

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:22,300
And in this episode, we're talking about dreams, the idea of how to interpret your dreams and

5
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:26,400
how to use your dreams to accomplish goals in your life.

6
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,000
But before we jump into this topic and this episode, Rabbi, were you able to relax any

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
this weekend?

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,000
How's it going?

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,100
Well, for us, the flow is the grandkids are all praying that it snows because they are

10
00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:42,120
wanting to be able to sled.

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,040
And it looks like their prayers are getting answered because it looks like we're coming

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,600
into a pretty cold, snowy, icy Oklahoma time.

13
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,960
We're doing great.

14
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,640
This is a great season of time.

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,880
This is a fun season of time to particularly with our youngest, with Matthew, he's a year

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,860
and a half and he's the third child.

17
00:01:04,860 --> 00:01:11,200
So one of the things with the third child is you have a tendency not to be so on top

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,780
of the child as you were the first and the second.

19
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:20,960
And the other thing is he immediately has all this modeling that he can follow from

20
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:27,320
the four year old and the eight year old and the way Matthew is wired is he's a year and

21
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:32,120
a half and he thinks he's probably about maybe eight or nine.

22
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,960
And he thinks he's fearless and he's different than the other two.

23
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:45,640
Like the other two, you could tell them don't go in the swimming pool and they would obey.

24
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,640
They wouldn't go in.

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,240
They'd wait for an adult.

26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Matthew is like, oh, there's the pool.

27
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,520
I can swim and he can't, but he says, I'm going in.

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,920
He just, he's one of these ones that just goes in.

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:03,600
If you leave a ladder up, Paul was working on some stuff in the closet with the wifi.

30
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,440
He left the ladder up, went into the kitchen for a little while, came back out and into

31
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:15,800
the closet and there's Matthew at the top of the ladder because he just climbs up.

32
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,280
And so that's kind of where we're at.

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,760
We're at that interesting stage where it takes all hands on deck to watch him so he doesn't

34
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:24,760
end up hurting himself.

35
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:25,760
Yeah.

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,920
So the snow is, you know, like, has that ever been your thing being from California?

37
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:35,120
I mean, like, did you, when you had lived in a place that had snows, was that something

38
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,800
you miss Christy enjoyed or what?

39
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,960
Well, I wouldn't have met Christy if it wasn't for the snow because I actually, no, I'm serious

40
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,520
because I love to snow ski.

41
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,000
I love to snow ski.

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Okay.

43
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
I'm a snow skier.

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,200
I was raised in Los Angeles, Southern California.

45
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,720
And when you're in Southern California, you go to Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead and, or you

46
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,320
go to Mammoth and you ski.

47
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:04,620
And, but after I graduated high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do.

48
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:11,120
So I said, I'm just going to go up to Lake Tahoe and I got a job at Harris Casino, which

49
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,520
was a great job, a valet.

50
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,040
I was a valet at Harris Casino.

51
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Really had clientele like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Don Rickles, Lawrence Welk.

52
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,200
I mean, the list goes on.

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:28,360
And, but I worked from eight o'clock at night to six in the morning.

54
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,400
And the reason I had that shift is so I could ski.

55
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,400
So I was there skiing to Heavenly Valley and Squaw Valley and the different mountains.

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,400
So I loved to ski.

57
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,840
And, but then when the spring came, one of the spring, I was driving one of the park

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,400
and ride vehicles for the casino.

59
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:51,920
And as I was driving through the parking lot, I saw the, this girl walking through the parking

60
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,520
lot with long strawberry blonde hair all the way down to her backside.

61
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,680
And she had a pair of cutoff jeans and like this white blouse.

62
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Yeah.

63
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,040
And that caught your attention.

64
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,040
It, yes.

65
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,040
Yes.

66
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,400
It caught my attention.

67
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,280
If anybody has seen my wife, you'll know she's beautiful.

68
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:21,060
But anyway, I literally pulled up and started talking to her and she totally rejected me.

69
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:22,800
It was awful.

70
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,120
Anyway, my approach wasn't very good either.

71
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:32,680
Now we all laugh about it, but I actually, I actually asked her out.

72
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,240
We don't know, somewhere between 12 and 15 times.

73
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,280
And she said no.

74
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:38,760
But anyway, so you asked me about the snow.

75
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,640
That's how we met Lake Tahoe.

76
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,640
But it was so interesting.

77
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,440
You want me to go on with this story?

78
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,440
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

79
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,440
No, this is good.

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,440
Okay.

81
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:52,260
Well anyway, so, so anyway, I, I, I did, I, I had it, I was licensed to drive what they

82
00:04:52,260 --> 00:04:55,720
call H cars, all of Bill Harris cars.

83
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,720
We would move the cars around.

84
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:04,280
And so I moved vehicles around kind of like, okay, this executives here and there.

85
00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:12,040
And I also drove, there was a van that took people from the very back to the, to the casino.

86
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:19,080
But when I was doing my valet, my toughest client I had was BB King.

87
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,680
And my, my instruction with, from the, from the manager with BB King was when he gets

88
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,780
done his show, try to get him, you know, get him fed, get dinner, and then get him back

89
00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:36,880
to his room because he, he liked to stay out all night.

90
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,440
That's just, can I just say that way?

91
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,440
All right.

92
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,440
I'm just being careful.

93
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,000
My job was trying to listen, and I wasn't very successful at it.

94
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
He did whatever the heck he wanted.

95
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,800
I listened to me, but I had to be there for him to take him wherever he wanted to go.

96
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,600
If he wanted to go to another club, whatever it was, my job was that.

97
00:05:53,600 --> 00:06:00,800
So anyway, this night, my job was just to be with him to the end of the show.

98
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,120
And then I was over and another guy took over.

99
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,520
So on this, let's say 14th, 15th, 16th time, I asked Christy out, she worked days there.

100
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,880
I called her at home and it's like two in the morning, you know, but it's that lifestyle.

101
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,120
But she worked days.

102
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:25,280
She picked up the phone and I said, listen, would you like to go with me tonight?

103
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,280
We got BB King.

104
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,160
I knew that, you know, everyone liked BB King.

105
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,680
I mean, his music is, you know, was excellent.

106
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,320
And he was not in one of the big showrooms.

107
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,600
He was in the small lounge.

108
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:35,600
And so it was really cool.

109
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,160
I mean, here you are, you got BB King and there's maybe 50 seats and you know, and so

110
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,760
anyway, so I asked her, I said, listen, I've got to stay here.

111
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,880
I'm working with Mr. King.

112
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,540
Would you, would you like to come?

113
00:06:46,540 --> 00:06:48,240
And she said, yes.

114
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:55,040
So literally that last show was like at like 2 33 in the morning and she got all dressed

115
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,040
up.

116
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,320
She came in and, and, and, and she'll explain it this way.

117
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,700
She said that the Lord told her, she feels like we, she wasn't saved, but she feels like

118
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:05,920
now it was the Lord.

119
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:11,080
He says, if you tell him, no, this time he won't ask again.

120
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,000
And I want you to, to meet him speaking to me.

121
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,320
So anyway, she, she came in, we went out and obviously had the show not saved.

122
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,640
So I'll just say this, but we have been together after that first date.

123
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,540
We have been together ever since.

124
00:07:30,540 --> 00:07:34,200
So and the reason I say that is because we live together and I'm not saying, Oh, look

125
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,200
at the lab rabbi.

126
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,200
I live together.

127
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,200
Yeah, but we were sinners and heathens.

128
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,240
So don't be going down the patch.

129
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,560
But the point is, is like, listen, if you think about it, if you look, if you just look

130
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,040
at Megan, you know, I mean, obviously this was a match made in heaven.

131
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,200
I mean, this is what God, God brought us together, but it was interesting that she, and the other

132
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,640
thing, she had girlfriends and I had friends and they were all telling us to meet each

133
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,600
other, you know, and you know, you got 2,500 employees, all these young people.

134
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,640
It's like a giant college campus only with, you know, casino and a lot of alcohol and

135
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,920
partying.

136
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,820
And so anyway, we, but I always made it, I made a statement to all my friends.

137
00:08:12,820 --> 00:08:16,520
I said, if I ever meet anybody I care about, I have to leave here because this atmosphere,

138
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,040
this place is not conducive for, you know, a good relationship.

139
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,240
So anyway, we met, we got together and we left.

140
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,400
That's the end of that story.

141
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400
She knew it.

142
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,400
I knew it.

143
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,400
But yeah, it was an interesting.

144
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,840
So you, you, you asked about the snow.

145
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,400
I probably went too deep into it.

146
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,400
No.

147
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,720
So snow equals love in the Landry household.

148
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,720
I guess so.

149
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,720
Yeah.

150
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,720
Yeah.

151
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,720
I mean, yeah, that's so good.

152
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:48,460
Well, that kind of brings us into, you know, our main discussion, our main focus of this

153
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:53,560
episode and this podcast of the Kurt Landry podcast.

154
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:56,520
It's all about dreaming and it's about dreams.

155
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:02,040
And you know, a lot of the questions primarily I want us to kind of dive into is the idea

156
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:08,240
of really how to interpret your dreams and what does that mean for accomplishing your

157
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:09,640
goals in life?

158
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:15,200

165
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,200
We're talking dreams, goals.

166
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,160
Let's just, how do you interpret your dreams?

167
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,720
I mean, like you had a good one last night and you wake up this morning and you actually

168
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,560
remember it and you feel like maybe God was speaking to you.

169
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,600
Where do you start?

170
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Well, for me, you know, I have people like Pastor Tim and a few other people that when

171
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,880
I have a dream, I usually ask the Lord, right when I wake up from it, I'll write it down.

172
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:10,520
And then there's different symbolisms and colors and things in dreams, but the Lord

173
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,480
usually use dreams to expand vision or confirm vision.

174
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,240
So I want to say that expand or confirm.

175
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,440
One of the things that, you know, we've been talking about goals to grow.

176
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:28,440
One of the reasons I wanted to bring up the dreams is this, is that goals to grow, when

177
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:36,600
I put together this program, my purpose was to be able to basically have time, task and

178
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:42,320
activities that you could become boundaries so that you could accomplish your goals.

179
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,320
Okay.

180
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:49,000
And, but the thing is that your, your, let me just say it this way.

181
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,720
Your goals to grow is the discipline path to find freedom.

182
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,000
You know that if you'll do these habits and patterns, these time, task and activity, what,

183
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,360
you know, you're going to get, you're going to have freedom, financial freedom and freedom

184
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:04,360
to plan.

185
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,360
Okay.

186
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,800
So your goals are also your boundaries of what your culture and your mindset and your

187
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,240
values are to, I will do this and I won't do that.

188
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:21,400
So, but the, but the problem with just doing that is this passion to not become bored with

189
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
the time, task and activities in the mundane.

190
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,480
See a lot of people don't realize you have to do, let me, let me say it this way.

191
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,520
You know, people know I like to cook.

192
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,520
Okay.

193
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,920
I, I don't necessarily like shopping.

194
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Okay.

195
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,480
I don't like going to the grocery store.

196
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,920
I mean, it's okay, but if you're going to cook, you have to go get stuff.

197
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,520
And then after you get the stuff, then you come home and you have to prepare and there's

198
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,740
steps to it.

199
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:49,760
But I actually like the cooking side.

200
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:56,060
The cooking side is very energizing to me, but your life can't just be about cooking.

201
00:11:56,060 --> 00:11:58,680
Your life has to be, you know what you have to work.

202
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:03,840
You have to make money to go to the store, buy the stuff, drive the car, unpack the car,

203
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,660
you know, get, you know, and all that stuff.

204
00:12:05,660 --> 00:12:09,280
So what happens is if you don't have what I call, I want to talk to you about dream

205
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,360
goals.

206
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Your dream goals are the fuel and the passion that allows you to accomplish your personal

207
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,040
goals.

208
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,060
There has to be a dream.

209
00:12:23,060 --> 00:12:25,200
And I'm not talking about dreaming in the night.

210
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,760
I'm talking about daydreaming.

211
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,280
When you say, you know what?

212
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,440
I want to be this.

213
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:39,200
Listen, I want to, I want to speak a word of encouragement and correction to people.

214
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:47,200
People need to listen to that gut, which is really the Holy Spirit, but that inner knower

215
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:55,040
of what your desire is and that inner desire is where your spiritual gifting is.

216
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,520
And if you can bring the inner desire, your spiritual gifting, and then have time, task,

217
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,560
and activity goals that actually cultivate it, you're going to live a successful, happy

218
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:15,060
life because your dreams are the fuel to your soul's emotion to enjoy your life, to accomplish

219
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:16,060
your goals.

220
00:13:16,060 --> 00:13:18,400
All right, so let me just get clarification on this.

221
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,360
Am I going too deep here?

222
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,360
No, no.

223
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:28,200
Now, I did bring us a kind of base level and you did take me to another level pretty quick.

224
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,200
Sorry.

225
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:35,520
But no, you said something that was a little different than how I pitched it, and I'm really

226
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,280
glad that you brought it this way.

227
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,920
What's the difference in, okay, I'm dreaming at night, right?

228
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,400
I wake up.

229
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:50,640
I'm praying, trying to figure out the dream and direction, goal setting that way.

230
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:57,040
What's the difference in that dreams, dreaming, and then daydreaming during the day for those

231
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,940
goals, those ambitions, those things that you're trying to accomplish?

232
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:03,080
Because when you brought it up, it just hit something real quick.

233
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,680
It was like, oh, well, it's a difference.

234
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:08,240
It's different, but the same in some ways.

235
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Well, okay, let me break it down in the behavioral world.

236
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:18,640
What it is, is your subconscious trying to escape into your conscience.

237
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,640
That's so good.

238
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,640
All right.

239
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,640
It wants out.

240
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,640
See, but everyone-

241
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Say that again.

242
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:29,980
Your subconscious wants to invade your conscience, just like in the courts of heaven.

243
00:14:29,980 --> 00:14:34,400
Your blessings in heaven want to invade on earth as it is in heaven.

244
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,200
It wants in.

245
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,600
It wants in.

246
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,380
And the thing is, is what I teach is how to bring it in, how to take it in from the courts,

247
00:14:43,380 --> 00:14:44,880
but also the subconscious.

248
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:50,920
See, your subconscious, my people, like people get too holy into- listen, if you're desiring

249
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,000
something like you're lusting over something unholy, I mean, that's, it's just unholy.

250
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,700
I hope everyone gets that.

251
00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:04,360
But when you have a holy desire for something, when it's holy, that holy desire, every good

252
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,280
and perfect gift came from above.

253
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,480
But religious people kind of want to bury it.

254
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,280
It's like, oh, you know, people with like an orphan or a poverty spirit.

255
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,200
Oh, I don't want that bigger house.

256
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,480
Oh, I don't want that second property.

257
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,040
Oh, I don't, I don't, you know, it's, it's- listen, I have learned all these things.

258
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,920
This is where I live.

259
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:28,080
Everything the Lord gives me and tells me to invest in is because it's a platform.

260
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,080
That's it.

261
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,080
It's just a platform.

262
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,640
The neighborhood I live in, most people could never get to my neighbors.

263
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,560
I do because I'm one of them.

264
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,760
And so I get to minister and, and be spiritually influential with some of the most influential

265
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,700
people in Oklahoma because of the neighborhood I'm in.

266
00:15:47,700 --> 00:15:51,560
But the Lord put me there, but the Lord told me, he says, listen, what you carry, your

267
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,320
testimony, they'll relate to it.

268
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,760
Now that was like 10 years ago.

269
00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,000
And my gosh, I mean, I'm well respected in that neighborhood and I have influence with

270
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
it.

271
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,280
The thing is you have to realize whatever the Lord gives you is to platform you so that

272
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:13,040
you can testify to somebody in that sphere and be able to share with them.

273
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:14,040
So here's the key.

274
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,300
Let's go back to the dream thing.

275
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:22,720
The reason that you're having sleep dreams is because your subconscious mind is, and

276
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,080
there's bad dreams and good, but what happens is the subconscious mind is getting up in

277
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:34,840
the night and basically saying, you know what, I want to watercolor.

278
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,080
And I like to watercolor.

279
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,520
So it's like, okay, I'm not any good at water coloring.

280
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,160
My wife encourages me, but listen, they may, you know, I have friends that are real artists.

281
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,760
I'm not, but I like to do it.

282
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,760
It's creative.

283
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,760
It's fun.

284
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,840
So what happens is your, your subconscious mind wants to get up in the middle of the

285
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,220
night and go, Hey, I'm going to watercolor something.

286
00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:54,220
And it does.

287
00:16:54,220 --> 00:16:57,720
And it's like this crazy dream, but you have to, the reason you interpret the dream is

288
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:04,520
because your subconscious mind is trying to communicate something to you saying, I want

289
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,000
you to bring this into a conscious state so you can take action.

290
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,600
So I can actually bring it to earth and actually have deliverables.

291
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Does that make sense?

292
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:15,600
Or yeah.

293
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:22,680
And you know, I, hopefully people that are listening and seeing some of these little

294
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,720
video shorts that are going out on social media to try to help promote the show, um,

295
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,240
feel like we go into a great depth of study before we jump in here.

296
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,440
But the one thing I love is that we talk about, Hey, like, you know, what's a topic or two

297
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,840
before we come in to actually record the podcast.

298
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:47,280
And then I just don't get in the way and just kind of let God do his thing with you and

299
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,240
just let you roll.

300
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:56,240
Um, but it's, it's fun when I get in here because especially in a moment like that felt

301
00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:01,840
like my brain just turned to, it just, it just exploded because like, you know, I'm

302
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,240
being taught, right?

303
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,880
And so now my brain's gone somewhere else.

304
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,640
So you know, if you can just entertain me here, I will, I'm going to, I'm going to,

305
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,280
I want you to experience something.

306
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Okay.

307
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:21,000
So you just broke down subconsciously what the brain does while dreaming at night.

308
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,240
You've given me a good, uh, example of, Hey, or daydreaming goals.

309
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Okay.

310
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,440
So I'm, I'm, I'm walking, right?

311
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,680
I'm walking, I'm trying to run now.

312
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:35,560
So go to a biblical perspective from the old Testament, right?

313
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,580
I mean, even up, you're talking about the gospels and about dreams and you know, angels

314
00:18:39,580 --> 00:18:44,500
coming to, to, to, uh, people like that and, and giving them prophecy.

315
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:50,800
So what would be the difference that you say that like someone can, from a practical base

316
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,800
level, I'm, I'm just like, Hey, I'm listening to this podcast.

317
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,220
I'm learning like Daryl is right now.

318
00:18:57,220 --> 00:19:03,340
When they hear dreams and prophecy and God speaking to them, what's the difference from

319
00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:10,020
a biblical, you know, from, from the Bible theologically to what most people would say

320
00:19:10,020 --> 00:19:14,600
the everyday person like me, I go to sleep at night, I dream, and then I wake up like,

321
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,400
you know, what's the big difference in the two to three different variations of dreaming?

322
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,400
Okay.

323
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,000
So I'm kind of everywhere with that, but I'm okay.

324
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,640
Well, let me, first of all, um, if they do the goals to grow, what they're going to find

325
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,720
out is like, this is what I desire to accomplish in 2024.

326
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Okay.

327
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,320
So now what happens is they've had to cerebral think about it.

328
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,600
They've had to visually write it down kinesthetically.

329
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,480
They've had to feel it and they say, this is, this is what I want to do.

330
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,020
So just filling this out has started.

331
00:19:50,020 --> 00:19:55,760
So now what happens is now the dreams are going to come night dreams and daydreams to

332
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,720
try to fuel what you're asking the Lord for.

333
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,840
And we'll be right back.

334
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,240
It's a new year and a new you.

335
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:12,440

340
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,360
I'll help answer questions like, where do I start?

341
00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:44,520
How do I walk in the spirit or how do I do spiritual warfare or how do I believe that

342
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,640
I'm more than a conqueror?

343
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:53,880
Meaning that Matthew 6 33 positions us for success in this year ahead.

344
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,480
That's Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will

345
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,080
be added on to us.

346
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,440
The fruit of the spirit is evident in his covenant.

347
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:10,160
Know this, that if you can establish his covenant in your heart and in your mind, you will be

348
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,360

352
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:40,040
our son in law, Paul Marcelino, his dad, Yolkina Marcelino helped to produce this book and

353
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:49,400
the whole purpose of this book, Jerusalem Rising, is to be able to bring visual evidence

354
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:56,320
that Jerusalem and Israel actually belongs to the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac

355
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:03,960
and Jacob, that this is the land of Isaac and the miracle power.

356
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:10,520
They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and this book captures that.

Hey, one more thing.

364
00:22:45,340 --> 00:22:50,760
After this episode, I would love for you to go and download and listen to another podcast

365
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,920
on the One New Man Network and that's called Generations at the Table with Megan Marcelino.

366
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,720
This show is perfect for discovering how to grow your family in faith by knowing your

367
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,000
Jewish roots.

368
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,640
Megan breaks down all of her knowledge on how to unlock your family's kingdom destiny

369
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:10,500
by honoring Yeshua.

370
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:17,680
You can find her show on the One New Man Network on your favorite podcast app.

371
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,000
And now back to the show.

372
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,280
See what happens is the scripture says, I could go so deep on this.

373
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,200
Just take me level two.

374
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,520
Okay, the scripture says you have not because you ask not.

375
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,200
The more reason most people don't ask is the fear of rejection, like it won't happen and

376
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,200
then I'm rejected and I failed.

377
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:38,400
But that's not what Jesus says.

378
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,240
Jesus says knock and knock and be consistent and knock.

379
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,600
So what's the knocking?

380
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,240
The knocking is basically you ask the Lord, you fill out your goals to grow, and then

381
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:55,140
what happens is the Lord will start sending dreams to show you the path of how to best

382
00:23:55,140 --> 00:23:57,600
accomplish the goals.

383
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,440
Okay, to best accomplish it.

384
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:10,360
And so what happens is there needs to be not just do this, there are not the do's and don't

385
00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:11,560
do's in that list.

386
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,840
That will make you boring and burn out.

387
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,520
So there has to be where you say, okay, I need to see what it looks like.

388
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,900
I need to see what it looks like when I accomplish this goal.

389
00:24:21,900 --> 00:24:23,480
And you need to write that out.

390
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:28,920
But what happens is you need to let your mind and your subconscious mind engage in, show

391
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,160
me what it's like.

392
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:37,720
And once your subconscious and your mind start to experience, start to experience what you're

393
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:43,260
wanting to accomplish, like let's say you're wanting to buy this new house, okay?

394
00:24:43,260 --> 00:24:47,120
Your family's growing, you need more bedrooms, you need this and you know, and now you're

395
00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:48,960
great because you only have a one car garage.

396
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,860
Now you need a two car garage.

397
00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:56,440
And so what happens is you need to start daydreaming about, man, that would be really cool.

398
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,080
I'm a car guy, okay?

399
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,840
That would be really cool because my car is going to be in the garage and I won't have

400
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,960
to scrape the ice off the windshield.

401
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Okay, it's going to be in the car next to my wife's car.

402
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,600
And guess what?

403
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:09,960
My kids get to have their own bedrooms.

404
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Hey, we've got the bigger kitchen.

405
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,240
I love this pantry.

406
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,560
Listen, I can go ahead and don't have to go out.

407
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,240
You need to start like visualizing that daydreaming about that.

408
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:27,200
And so then what happens is you may have a dream.

409
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:35,360
And so I recently had a dream about a situation and I'm asking the Lord, how do I accomplish

410
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:36,360
this?

411
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:42,360
And so just recently the Lord said, in this dream, I had a dream of this office situation

412
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:44,440
and it was going this way and that way.

413
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,000
And what it did was it was a very vague dream that happened.

414
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,120
But what happened is it was a confirmation to something that Megan and Paul and I had

415
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,240
talked about.

416
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,980
The dream was.

417
00:25:54,980 --> 00:26:01,000
So what's happening is in the practical, the sleep dream that I had was confirming that

418
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
I need to spend more time researching in the natural what we had talked about.

419
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840
The dream was like, okay, take the next step.

420
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:15,200
So you don't want to be wasting a lot of time on taking steps of your time task activity,

421
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,240
chasing rabbits down rabbit holes.

422
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,400
So what you want to do is what the dream and the passion.

423
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:28,360
Here's the thing is all the hard work you do in self-discipline needs to end up at a

424
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:34,080
finish line with a dream or a desire that's in your heart.

425
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,880
Yeah.

426
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,640
Okay.

427
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,840
So I'm tracking, I'm tracking people listening.

428
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:49,880
Listen, just go back a couple minutes and get the beginning of that and just hit the

429
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:54,800
replay so then you can kind of at least for me when I'm reading, especially like my Bible,

430
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,920
but in general, I have to read a paragraph once or twice, maybe three times to really

431
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:00,680
comprehend what that is.

432
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:06,520
I would encourage people just to go back and and listen to the last five or 10 minutes

433
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,320
again just to grasp that.

434
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,880
So let's say people have gone back or they're smart like my wife and they understood the

435
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,280
first time that you said it.

436
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:23,800
So next steps in creating those goals, being able to daydream, but then also in the moment

437
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:30,720
when you wake up, what's like an actual practical thing, like something physically I can do

438
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:38,920
that may be a strategy that you do in your own personal time that when you wake up, I

439
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,440
know a lot of people struggle with that they just, man, it's like 30 seconds, they wake

440
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:48,520
up, they're still almost in dream state a little bit and then like they forget the dream.

441
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,760
Like I do that all the time.

442
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:55,920
And so what would be a good practical way to maybe capture that dream, right?

443
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,760
And then be able to talk to other people that can kind of help me interpret maybe a little

444
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,760
bit.

445
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:02,760
I mean, like what's the next steps?

446
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,960
Like I'm just trying to figure out what a, you know, like what a good workflow of like

447
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,440
figuring this out would be.

448
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,580
Have a notepad or a journal beside your bed.

449
00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:19,600
And when you wake up, even if it's three in the morning, have the discipline while it's

450
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,960
fresh, write it down.

451
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:27,440
Just scribble it down the best you can and put down all the detail that you can do with

452
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,440
it.

453
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,400
Because every part of that dream is important.

454
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:32,840
Colors are important.

455
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,480
Numbers, numbers and dreams are important.

456
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,200
All numbers have significance.

457
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,400
So if you bring it to somebody like a Pastor Tim or myself and we're interpreting the

458
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:50,560
dream, depending on the colors, the numbers and the atmosphere, then we know from that

459
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:57,500
like what, so to say, the dream and the interpretation.

460
00:28:57,500 --> 00:29:02,720
But in a night dream, in the night dream, a lot of times what happens is God has been

461
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,440
trying to speak to you in the daytime in a conscious state.

462
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,080
And what happens is you're too busy and you're not listening.

463
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,640
And so a lot of times, even like with startling dreams or dreams that will wake you up, what

464
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:20,000
will happen is the Lord's trying to usually get you to slow down, focus and think about

465
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,000
something.

466
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,200
And so He'll give you something in that dream.

467
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:31,640
Yeah, it kind of brings me back to a point that, you know, the past couple episodes,

468
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,800
we've been super heavy on goals to grow and, you know, the different topics as we've kind

469
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,520
of worked our way through it this year so far.

470
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:46,880
And for me personally, and as we've recorded these episodes and, you know, I've learned

471
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,880
a ton, right?

472
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:53,240
But just from past experience, from what I know what other people struggle with is that

473
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:58,560
the first thing I heard you say about the dreams was even if it's 2 33 a.m., you wake

474
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,200
up, you have the discipline, you write it down.

475
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,580
You put as much detail.

476
00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:04,320
So then it's capturing, right?

477
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,240
So it would be step one is capturing.

478
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:12,080
It's like being forward aggressive and saying I'm going to go to Kurtlandry.com forward

479
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,440
slash gross 2024 and I'm going to download the guide.

480
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:20,640
But now I'm going to be aggressive and capture those goals and put into practice.

481
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,000
So what's the next thing?

482
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000
You know, I want to keep it simple.

483
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,480
I want to keep it like two steps or maybe three at the most, because I want people to

484
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:34,760
go away from this podcast right by and say, you know, I can actively in my conscious right

485
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:42,480
now and hopefully remind myself to be active, to intentionally focus on this, you know,

486
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:43,480
because it's a long year.

487
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:49,520
So what's that second, maybe third thing after they capture, they write it down, you know,

488
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,720
they've got the dream.

489
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,200
Where do they go next?

490
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,960
If you go in our goals to grow and on page 15, there's a the fourth thing is called joy

491
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:03,920
goals.

492
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,600
Goals that bring joy.

493
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:16,600
Usually when you starting to have like stressful dreams, it's because the Lord is trying to

494
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:23,440
get you to de-stress and to calm down and to slow down.

495
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:32,320
And so because what's happening is just your subconscious mind is starting to go into stress.

496
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,060
And so what happens is it brings anxiety attacks and stress and all the things.

497
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:42,400
So what happens is you have to have some joy goals and joy goals usually will come and

498
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,040
be revealed through dream goals.

499
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:54,400
So what will happen is you'll have a dream and the dream might be that the dream, you

500
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,040
know, is you're doing something like you dream that you're snow skiing.

501
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,280
You talked about snow.

502
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,000
You dream that you're going to the beach.

503
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:08,380
You dream that maybe you're single and you dream that you're getting married.

504
00:32:08,380 --> 00:32:11,200
Or you dream and you see yourself fulfilling that dream.

505
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,080
Like, you know, you've been in Bible school and you're in your and you get ready and you

506
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:21,880
see a dream of yourself at a, at in a large setting and you're at the pulpit and you have

507
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,760
that dream goal.

508
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:30,660
Usually what happens is with dreams and joy goals is what the Lord is trying to do is

509
00:32:30,660 --> 00:32:36,320
to get you into, have you ever thought about the word recreation?

510
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,920
Recreation is re-creation.

511
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:46,680
The Lord wants you to, dreams usually come and they're like stop signs in, in your emotion

512
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,580
and said, a good stop sign.

513
00:32:48,580 --> 00:32:50,000
Would you stop?

514
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,520
Go sit on this park bench in the Spirit and ask me what it is I want to do to give you

515
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,540
peace, to re-energize you, to give you a hope.

516
00:33:00,540 --> 00:33:02,920
You know, it's Jeremiah 29, 11.

517
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,960
It says that you give you a future and a hope.

518
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,800
And so Israel was, you know, going into captivity in Jeremiah 11.

519
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,680
But the Lord says, you know, listen, even in the midst of difficult times in captivity,

520
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,560
you can find a future and a hope.

521
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,880
And that's kind of what, what dream goals can do.

522
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:26,800
And that's what daydreaming does.

523
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,440
Daydreaming, you say, what do you mean by daydreaming?

524
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:34,280
I mean, daydreaming is when you sit down and you meditate and you just sit down for a little

525
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:40,400
while, close your eyes and take a deep breath and say, okay, I'm, I'm doing this.

526
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,200
I'm having to work two jobs.

527
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,440
I'm having to work overtime, but why am I doing this?

528
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,080
And what you have to do is you need to discipline yourself and you pause and you say, the reason

529
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:58,080
I'm doing this is because, and whatever that reason is, we're moving into this new house.

530
00:33:58,080 --> 00:33:59,080
You know what?

531
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:00,080
I'm going to get a raise.

532
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,600
I'm going to get a bonus and, and I, I won't have to be taking stuff out of the basket

533
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,160
and having my child say, please go put that back on the shelf.

534
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,360
You know, I want to be able to have enough money that when I go, I can get what I need

535
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,220
at the store and I'm not having to, to put stuff back, all that type of stuff.

536
00:34:19,220 --> 00:34:21,840
And you need to start dreaming and seeing yourself.

537
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,360
You need to start, you know, listen, Christine, I went through a time when we first went into

538
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:32,060
full-time ministry where we were completely broke and, and literally our neighbor had

539
00:34:32,060 --> 00:34:36,280
to bring produce to our house and all we ate was out of their garden that summer.

540
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,720
We had no food in the house.

541
00:34:37,720 --> 00:34:42,060
We had to go to Christie's parents and borrow $200 to get dog food so we could feed our

542
00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:43,840
dog.

543
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:50,600
And so what happens is like with me, what I do now, if I'm at the grocery store and

544
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:57,320
someone's in front of me and I, and listen, I know the behavior because I was that person

545
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:03,440
and I see them and they're looking at stuff and they're watching the cash register calculated

546
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:09,680
up and they've got their money out and they're going like this and they have to go to that

547
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,560
child and say, okay, put that box of cereal and take it back.

548
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,080
We can't get it this time.

549
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,400
Not with me sitting there.

550
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:24,080
I will push all the groceries in and I'm saying, no, this is all going in and they look and

551
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,160
they say, what?

552
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:31,640
And I say, the Lord's blessed me and I'm going to bless you in Jesus name.

553
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,880
I'm taking care of all.

554
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:38,240
And usually I'll put a hundred dollar bill down and I say, and you keep the change.

555
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:46,160
And so I dreamed when I didn't have it, I daydreamed about, I want to be that person

556
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,740
that blesses people who has a need.

557
00:35:48,740 --> 00:35:49,800
And now I'm there.

558
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:50,800
It's not a dream anymore.

559
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,560
It happens to me pretty regularly.

560
00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:01,520
So what happens is you have to start having that imagination and let your subconscious,

561
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,640
here's the key is your subconscious mind.

562
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,640
I don't care who you are.

563
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,340
I don't care what your background is.

564
00:36:07,340 --> 00:36:14,100
Your subconscious mind wants to make an impact for good on people because you are, human

565
00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:15,700
beings are innately good.

566
00:36:15,700 --> 00:36:19,200
They want to do something good, especially when you're born again, the spirit of God

567
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,020
is love and perfect love cast out fear.

568
00:36:22,020 --> 00:36:23,760
And God wants that love coming out.

569
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,360
You want to be able to do it.

570
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,880
But the thing is you have to be physically able to do it and financially be able to do

571
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,160
it and be in the right place.

572
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,560
Start seeing yourself like, okay, I want to do more evangelism.

573
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:43,360
Start seeing yourself doing that evangelism, start imagining it, start dreaming it.

574
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:49,000
Have what I call creative visualization, start seeing yourself, maybe take pictures of somebody

575
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,160
else doing what they want to do.

576
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,080
I'm just using it as sports.

577
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,300
You see, we talked about snow.

578
00:36:56,300 --> 00:37:01,040
You want to be a better snow skier, then get a picture of somebody doing snowing, skiing

579
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,320
and imagine it.

580
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:09,080
What happens is every time you trigger that, what happens is every time you trigger, let

581
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,080
me show you something.

582
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:11,080
I was going to show you this earlier.

583
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:12,080
Okay.

584
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:13,080
I'm not going to put it up on the screen.

585
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,080
I'm going to show you.

586
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,080
Okay.

587
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,800
So this is my dream goal.

588
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:19,800
Okay.

589
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,800
This picture, I'm going to show it to you.

590
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:23,800
Okay.

591
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:24,800
All right.

592
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:25,800
Okay.

593
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:26,800
All right.

594
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:27,800
I see it.

595
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:28,800
Okay.

596
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,080
Now, now what I want you to do is I want you to take yourself and put yourself in a beach

597
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:37,160
chair looking at this.

598
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,280
Now all of a sudden you start to slow down.

599
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,720
Hmm.

600
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:43,240
Absolutely.

601
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:48,600
Now if you take a deep breath, you'll start smelling the salt air.

602
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,320
If you concentrate on it long enough, you'll start seeing, hearing the waves, small little

603
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,120
waves hitting the sand.

604
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,680
It's all in your memory.

605
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:03,040
So what happens is when I'm working super hard, I don't know if I can put that on the

606
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,680
screen for him.

607
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,680
No.

608
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,400
I mean, primarily people should be listening to this podcast.

609
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,040
In a couple months, I don't know why I'm saying this.

610
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:22,480
People watching now will know where to get it then, but just, I mean, showing things,

611
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,880
I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

612
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:30,720
Try to, if I was blind, explain it to me.

613
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:31,920
Let's just do that.

614
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:38,720
So explain to me the image from a sensory perspective on someone that can draw an image

615
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:40,120
in their head, right?

616
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,320
Or like play a movie.

617
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:42,320
Okay.

618
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:49,320
So when you write a goal and you have a plan, you need to be able to visualize it being

619
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,320
complete.

620
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,320
Okay.

621
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,700
Just like traveling.

622
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:58,440
If you take a long trip, we just came back from going to Israel.

623
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:05,880
By the time I check the bags at Tulsa, okay, I check my bags in Tulsa and it says, and

624
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:11,360
they hand me my tickets and they say, your bags are checked into Tel Aviv.

625
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:19,400
You just kind of go, but now you've got basically about a 14 to 18 hour time of time task and

626
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:20,400
activity.

627
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:21,400
You got to change planes.

628
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,540
You got to do all this stuff.

629
00:39:23,540 --> 00:39:25,260
So where does your mind go?

630
00:39:25,260 --> 00:39:32,600
Your mind goes to, I can't wait until I'm through passport control and I'm walking out

631
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,060
to the curb and there's Sam going court court.

632
00:39:37,060 --> 00:39:44,720
So what happens is I am visualizing that at the first, second 14th hour, all during that

633
00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:48,000
time I am visualizing my goal.

634
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:54,000
My goal is to get out of the airport and to be feet on the ground in the land of Israel.

635
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:59,980
So the key is with what we're talking about with dreams and dream goals is you can't write

636
00:39:59,980 --> 00:40:05,080
a goal without writing the final chapter that you finish well.

637
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:12,200
You need to undergirt your mind, body, soul and spirit saying your mind and your soul

638
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:18,440
and your spirit wants to know like, you know, how does this finish?

639
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:25,600
You know, Bishop Paul spoke a word at House of David back in the early 2000s and the word

640
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:30,000
he spoke is he came here and he said, came from Togo, Africa and spoke a word to House

641
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:36,200
of David and he said, you're going to finish and you're going to finish well.

642
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:41,820
Well that's huge because as we know in ministry and in business, a lot of people start well

643
00:40:41,820 --> 00:40:44,160
and finish poorly.

644
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:53,480
Well one of the ways to secure that you will not finish poorly is have dreams and daydreams

645
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,520
and dream goals of you finishing well.

646
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:02,000
What does it look like when you finish well?

647
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,240
What does that look like?

648
00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:09,480
You know, so for me it's like my life started with my identity in Christ.

649
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,000
I want to fulfill that purpose.

650
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,280
I want to live in that destiny.

651
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,920
I want all that God has in the courts of heaven for me, my inheritance.

652
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:25,800
I want every drop of anointing, provision, everything I'm to do and say out of that

653
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:30,680
account and I want to finish well and stand before Jesus and hear, well done good and

654
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,960
faithful servant, but I want to leave an inheritance to my children's children.

655
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,880
I want to leave the way.

656
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:45,920
I want to leave breadcrumbs so that my children, my grandchildren and their children will say,

657
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:52,400
we can follow Rabbi, we can follow Saba because it worked for him, it will work for us.

658
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:58,800
So my dream is I actually have seen myself standing in the Spirit and through a dream.

659
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:04,760
I've seen myself standing before Jesus and I've said this at Passover's before.

660
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:11,320
I really believe, I can't biblically say this, but the fourth cup of Passover, the

661
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:17,600
cup of praise, I believe that we're going to be welcomed by Jesus in heaven and he's

662
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,960
going to have a goblet, a kiddish cup.

663
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:24,980
You're going to hand that kiddish cup and as we hand that kiddish cup to us, you want

664
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:29,400
to hear, well done good and faithful servant because when you seal a wedding, a Jewish

665
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,880
wedding, you do it by drinking the cup.

666
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:41,960
And so I believe that I personally have had dreams and daydreams of that moment when I see Jesus.

667
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,300
So when I'm going through times where it's very difficult and I want to quit, I'm going

668
00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:54,040
through times when I'm sick, where I'm physically sick, but I have a speaking engagement and

669
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,040
this is just me.

670
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:59,320
I have actually not canceled speaking engagements because I was sick.

671
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,600
I've been at the pulpit with 103 temperature.

672
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,920
Doesn't matter, it's just what I do.

673
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:08,080
But my point is when I have to face challenges like that, where do I go?

674
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,600
I look at how I finish.

675
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:17,400
I've dreamed it, daydreamed it and dreamed it in my sleep enough that I believe it and

676
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,760
I know I make a promise to you and to my family.

677
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,120
I'm going to finish and I'm going to finish well.

678
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:31,720
All right, let's wrap up this episode with a little different question, has to do with

679
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:34,080
dreams, but let's go ahead and wrap this up.

683
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:57,640
Rabbi, let's end this episode on an idea of generosity and how I think a lot of people,

684
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:03,560
most Christians, I would say, I don't know of a study or a percentage, but I'm going

685
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:11,200
to say most probably struggle with generosity, with tithing, with just giving in general.

686
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:16,160
I'm sitting here listening to this story about you're sitting at a grocery store and if

687
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:20,440
you see something like that to where you can kind of jump in and do it, it started with

688
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,680
a dream.

689
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:28,080
It started with being intentional on your daydreaming that resulted into... It was

690
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:32,040
basically the full circle of dreaming.

691
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:41,440
If someone wants to get better and tap into that spiritual power and receive the blessings

692
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:49,520
of what being generous is and being able to fully buy into the tithe and just not miss

693
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:56,340
and just be super intentional, where does dreams come into that if they want to use

694
00:44:56,340 --> 00:45:02,220
this goal to work on within the realm and the topic of dreams to just get better in

695
00:45:02,220 --> 00:45:12,560
consistency of giving and being generous?

696
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:19,760
Honor... When you give, like when I go to a grocery store and I'm doing this, we live

697
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:24,000
in a very rural area and around us is there's a lot of poverty.

698
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:31,600
We have the dollar general and the family dollar and the different places that I shop.

699
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:35,440
Most of the time when I'm there, socioeconomically, I'm at a much higher level, a different level

700
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:41,760
than the people that are in that store.

701
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:54,440
Here's the key is when you're giving in tithes and you're giving in offering, you need to

702
00:45:54,440 --> 00:46:02,200
experience in your soul, your mind, will and emotion, not the pain of sacrificial like,

703
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,240
ooh, this hurts.

704
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:04,680
I'm writing this big check.

705
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,080
I'm giving.

706
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:14,320
What you have to do is you have to understand that it's a seed.

707
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:19,920
If you'll keep it in your heart and be a cheerful giver, the Lord will give back.

708
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:23,960
It says 30, 60 and 100 full return.

709
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:29,760
So what happens is you have to start having the... You have to crawl, walk, run and start

710
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,760
having the experience of giving.

711
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:40,120
Can you use, say daydreaming if you were to... You're sitting at the house and you say,

712
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,960
I'm going to meditate for 30 minutes.

713
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,100
I'm just going to sit here and just think and daydream.

714
00:46:46,100 --> 00:46:52,520
Can you use the technique of daydreaming, of basically visualizing yourself, getting

715
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:59,320
to that level of, I don't want to say wealth, but the ability to the position to be as generous

716
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:00,320
as you want.

717
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,560
Is that a technique that people could use to do that?

718
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:04,560
Yeah.

719
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,720
You just have to not despise the time of small beginnings.

720
00:47:07,720 --> 00:47:10,720
Listen, I would encourage people to answer your question.

721
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:16,800
First of all, tithing, giving 10%, it's a command.

722
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,800
Offerings.

723
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:23,980
I mean, obviously we tithe and we bring offerings and you can get all my teaching on biblical

724
00:47:23,980 --> 00:47:27,560
finance at curtlandry.com.

725
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:33,900
But the reason that we're cheerful givers is because it is, and you've heard the saying,

726
00:47:33,900 --> 00:47:36,620
it's better to give than receive.

727
00:47:36,620 --> 00:47:39,240
So here's the key.

728
00:47:39,240 --> 00:47:42,960
You have to start... Let's go to a grocery store.

729
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,920
You're going to get in that situation.

730
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,440
But one of the keys, one of the things you have to do is have some cash in your wallet.

731
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,520
So what happens to me, before I go out, I always carry some cash.

732
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:57,920
And the reason I do, and I have other friends that do this as well, it's not just me, we

733
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:58,920
put cash in our wallets.

734
00:47:58,920 --> 00:47:59,920
Listen, I've got credit cards.

735
00:47:59,920 --> 00:48:00,920
I don't need cash.

736
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:08,360
But the reason I have cash in my wallet is to do what I call alms, is to do exactly this.

737
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:20,560
But I can tell you, listen, I can tell you I have had some dramatic experiences with

738
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:27,840
this, to where I've taken care of someone's meal at a restaurant.

739
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:32,080
I can take taking care of some groceries.

740
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:38,600
And then I get out to my car and that person knocked on my window.

741
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:43,120
I put the window down and they're crying.

742
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:51,480
And they said, I so needed this today because I was ready to give up.

743
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,200
25 bucks or something.

744
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,520
I mean, it's like, come on.

745
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:58,800
I pray for them.

746
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,120
They leave.

747
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:10,840
And then I sit in the car and cry because how good is God?

748
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,400
How good is God?

749
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,400
Can I share one testimony?

750
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,400
Yeah, yeah.

751
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:16,400
Let me share a testimony.

752
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,680
It's kind of on that line.

753
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:24,120
I used to be in the fruit business.

754
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:29,640
And my partners, I was the one that traveled out and did all the PR for the brokerage.

755
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,840
So I would go to the different grocery brokers like Publix, Harris Teeter, those different

756
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:35,840
ones.

757
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:45,560
So I was, and I used to stay at very moderate hotels, rent moderate cars.

758
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,520
And my partners, listen, our business was extremely successful, multimillion dollar

759
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:50,920
business.

760
00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:52,620
But that's just what I felt like to do.

761
00:49:52,620 --> 00:49:54,720
So I did.

762
00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:59,440
Understanding that my business partner says, listen, on the end of this junket, what I

763
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,760
want you to do is when you get to St. Louis before you come home, go to the Marriott there.

764
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:09,800
They have a really good spa, get a massage, stay in the nice room and go to a restaurant,

765
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,960
eat steak and have a nice meal.

766
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:12,960
So I said, okay.

767
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:13,960
So I like that.

768
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:14,960
Yeah.

769
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:16,600
So I had all that done.

770
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,440
And I didn't do that down in, I went to Publix.

771
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,560
So I was in Jacksonville and Lakeland and Miami.

772
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,560
I didn't do any of that.

773
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,300
So I get there at the end of the trip.

774
00:50:27,300 --> 00:50:33,080
So I saw my last customer and I'm driving through a bad part of St. Louis on the freeway.

775
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,000
I can't remember the area.

776
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,760
It's been a long time ago.

777
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,800
And this is a true testimony.

778
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,480
So I'm driving and I'm thinking, okay, I got to get back to the hotel, change clothes so

779
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:49,400
I can go get my spa and like that, and then go eat dinner and go to bed, fly home to Seattle

780
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,880
the next day.

781
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,500
And because we lived in Washington at that time.

782
00:50:55,500 --> 00:51:01,880
So I'm driving and I'm on the freeway and I look off to the right and the Lord says,

783
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,680
I want you to stop and help that car.

784
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:11,760
There's a car on the side of the road, a little four door compact car.

785
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,360
And then I'm thinking to myself, no, I'm going to go to the spa.

786
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:20,480
I heard the Lord say second time, He said, no, I want to hear that.

787
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,800
I want you to go back and help that car.

788
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,560
I said, I didn't stop again.

789
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,080
So finally I heard a third time, He said, you need to go back to that car, the Holy

790
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,080
Spirit.

791
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,480
I said, okay, pull the car aside the road.

792
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,920
I'm embarrassed to say this, but this is what I said.

793
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,640
I said, well, Lord, now I've got to back up on the freeway.

794
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,320
And if I do, I'm going to get a ticket.

795
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,600
So I'm going to do it, but you better protect me from getting the ticket.

796
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:42,600
I mean, how stupid is that?

797
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,120
But that's what I said, forgive me.

798
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,720
I'm being transparent.

799
00:51:45,720 --> 00:51:48,160
So I back up onto the car.

800
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,160
Okay.

801
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,000
I've got my suit on.

802
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,780
I'm doing business, right?

803
00:51:53,780 --> 00:51:59,680
And there's a young woman in the car and she's got two kids in the car, car seats, and she's

804
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,680
in the car and she's physically very upset.

805
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,160
And I'm so stupid.

806
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,160
I don't know what to do.

807
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:11,640
I mean, we're in a bad part of St. Louis and here I am and she's in the car.

808
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,880
She's a young girl and young lady, two kids in the car.

809
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,520
So I did this, Darrell, so stupid.

810
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:22,640
I raised my hands like this and I said to her, fear not, I come in the name of the Lord.

811
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,080
I mean, it's like, how dumb is that?

812
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:25,080
But that's what I did.

813
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,240
I just raised my hand like, you know, she's in a bad part of town.

814
00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:29,400
There's a guy with a suit.

815
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:39,400
I come up to the car and I say to her, I said, the Lord told me to stop to help you.

816
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,080
She put the window down.

817
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:42,720
She just breaks crying.

818
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:44,240
I look in her lap.

819
00:52:44,240 --> 00:52:50,720
She's got a 357 Magnum in her lap.

820
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:52,920
And she said she pulled the car over the side of the road.

821
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:56,800
She says this was her husband's gun.

822
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:02,140
And she pulled over the side of the road and she told the Lord, if you don't send somebody

823
00:53:02,140 --> 00:53:07,760
to help me, I'm going to kill these children and I'm going to kill myself right now on

824
00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:12,220
the side of the road.

825
00:53:12,220 --> 00:53:22,160
And long story short, I ended up following her, taking her home to where her house was.

826
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,640
The family, why in the heck would you stop at that part of town?

827
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,460
Told them she got saved.

828
00:53:29,460 --> 00:53:32,160
All the family got saved.

829
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:35,120
I never made it to the spa.

830
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:40,760
Got in so late, didn't eat the steak dinner.

831
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,680
But that was a dream.

832
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:52,360
I had a dream that Lord, you would use me to save people's lives.

833
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:58,540
And saving people's lives is inconvenient and it costs you something.

834
00:53:58,540 --> 00:54:03,760
But I can tell you this, even the joy that I feel right now telling the story that was

835
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:19,360
gosh, almost 28 years ago, it was better than the spa, better than a ribeye for the rabbi,

836
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:27,040
better than me getting rest, was obeying God and doing what Jesus would have done.

837
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:31,480
Because a young girl cried out in desperation, was listening to demonic demons that wanted

838
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:36,920
to get her to commit suicide and answer the call.

839
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:43,260
But that's always been a dream of my life is to help those who need help.

840
00:54:43,260 --> 00:54:48,960
Because in my life, when I've needed help, the Lord already sent people to me.

841
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:57,160
So now He wants to send you and me to them.

842
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:03,520

860
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:24,840
last parting thought before we jump out of here?

861
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:31,080
Ask the Lord to give you big dreams.

862
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,720
That's the key.

863
00:56:32,720 --> 00:56:38,200
I pray right now for each person within the sound of my voice that he would release to

864
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:43,360
you big dreams.

865
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,280
Big dreams.

866
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:52,040
I had a dream, saw myself standing in front of thousands of people on a platform in like

867
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:56,080
an evangelistic healing crusade.

868
00:56:56,080 --> 00:57:03,320
And I had it when I was new believer, fruit broker, not in ministry.

869
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:06,320
And then several years later, I was with Dr. T.L.

870
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:12,800
Osborne and Lome Togo standing on a platform in front of 30 to 50,000 people and I was

871
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,240
wondering.

872
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:24,360
And what happened is that subconscious dream, that sleep dream I had was preparing me for

873
00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:31,040
the Lord saying, I have things other than fruit business.

874
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,000
This prophet named Fran Lance came to our house.

875
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,400
And part of the words she spoke to me right about the time I had that dream, she said,

876
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:48,880
you think of yourself in the fruit business and selling fruit that comes from trees.

877
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:55,680
But the Lord says, I have called you into the fruit business that will not perish.

878
00:57:55,680 --> 00:58:02,320
And he says, and I've called you to give abundant fruit, fruit that remains.

879
00:58:02,320 --> 00:58:03,900
And that's where I'm at now.

880
00:58:03,900 --> 00:58:09,480
So I had a dream and the prophet had a word and none of them made sense in themselves.

881
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:17,160
But now all these years later, those words and those dreams is what guides me and encourages

882
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,120
me today, particularly on days when you need encouragement.

883
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:22,120
So dream big.

884
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:23,120
Dream big.

890
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:47,520
Good.

891
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:54,760
Tough subject, but I think if it helps, listen, it's not something that you can, when you

892
00:58:54,760 --> 00:59:01,080
start dealing with dreams and daydreaming and things, it's just good to know that your

893

dreams can be your friend.

894
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,240
So make friends with your dreams and invite the Lord.

895
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,720
Before you go to bed, ask the Lord, Father God, give me a dream that will advance my

896
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,800
life in your kingdom purpose.

897
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:13,800
All right.

898
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:16,520
That'll do it for this episode, Rabbi.

899
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:17,520
Until next time.

900
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:18,520
Yeah.

901
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:33,520
Good night.
