Hidden Treasures in Dreams

 

 

 

Last year, in November, I had an encounter with God in my sleep. He gave me a promise through the encounter that would carry me through so many difficult times. He said to me, “you will always eat good”…meaning there would always be an abundance of food. 

 

Immediately after that, that promise was severely tested. There was barely any support coming in, and the food supply got really low. It got so low, in fact, that we got to the point where there was not enough food to cover us to eat in the morning. 

 

That night, I went to sleep with tears pouring out of my eyes. My faith was clinging to God’s promise, but my inner doubts and fears were trying to make me panic. 

 

I remember praying to God as a little child and reminding Him of His promise to always feed His children. The battle to hold my faith in the midst of the natural adversity was intense. 

 

Out of the sheer weariness, from the tug of war between doubt and faith, I fell asleep crying. The next morning could have been horrible with no food to feed my family, however God upheld His word and I woke up to a donation of $500. 

 

I was in awe and abounding with joy from what God did. It was such an ever-present rescue of His all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-present love. 

 

This entire year God has given me promises in my dreams and I have had to be like a treasure hunter to find them and put them into faith. 

 

A few months ago, God showed me a jewelry box in my dreams, and He said there was a “hidden pocket” where He had saved away money to save us and cover our food and room needs. 

 

He opened the treasure box and there were 2 gold coins inside. I had this “inner knowing” that each coin represented $1000. God then told me that someone was going to give to us out of their savings account, and that it would be our rescue from His intentional love. I knew by faith to expect $2000. 

 

Not long went by, and I was down to no money and no way to cover our needs. It looked like we wouldn’t survive, but I kept holding onto my promise that God gave me in my dream. 

 

Then, part of it happened. I received a surprise donation of $1000, and it saved us from being homeless and hungry. It was the rescue that I needed so much, and God did exactly as He showed in my dreams.

 

Ever since He moved us to travel in this new state, the needs we have had multiplied because the hotels have high deposits and the cost of everything is so much more here. It is like God led us to the place that was not survivable, just so He could display His power. Because of the high costs of everything, it didn’t take long until that rescue money was gone. 

 

I knew that another matching amount was promised, so I put all of my faith into seeing that come. I would imagine that it happened, and I used many things that God taught me through this way of living to harness my faith to touch the promise and pull it out. 

 

We found ourselves in the same position again, of being helpless and having no way to survive. I had a choice once the pressure started to come against me. Either I could go into panic mode and become afraid….or I could trust that My promise would arrive. 

 

I put all of my energy into faith at that time, and it was so hard because we were going through a crisis that meant life or death. One of the ways that I was able to push through with faith was to look at all the dream promises that God has already fulfilled and to build myself up with confidence again. 

 

After going through the stormy emotions coming against my faith, from the scariness of the situation, God showed up like a lightening bolt and delivered the other $1000 that He promised. 

 

It is so encouraging to see the promises in our dreams touch the surface and be made tangible. If I had dismissed the hidden things in my dreams, I would have never had the opportunity to claim those promises. 

 

There are so many promises to be claimed in our dreams. I am currently holding onto a promise that God made me about Christmas and even though it looks like time is almost gone, I have to build myself up in faith by remembering God’s faithfulness. 

 

I have to tell myself that God has the power to fulfill His promises and most of all…that He is the God that sees us in our needs. The other night I played that song by Kathie Lee Gifford & Nicole C. Mullen about how God is the God who sees us even when no one else does, and rescues with His love. You can hear it here: https://youtu.be/sz81dIfwf4Y?si=pQm4vPHHj0glZ_Ye

 

Since God has taken us through this journey of being in an unfamiliar place with no way to survive aside from His promises to care for us, I have often felt that pain of Hagar in the desert. 

 

I have had to feed my kids and then go deep into my imagination and prayer to see the hidden well of water of God’s support. So many times it looked like we would die in this “desert” experience, and yet God had hidden the provisions in plain sight. It just took stretching my faith to touch the hem of His garment to see them come out.

 

I have had to trust that God is all-present and that He sees my needs and knows that I am waiting on His promise to be delivered. I have had to cling to God’s promise that we wouldn’t be homeless and trust Him to supply the support to cover our rooms. It seems like I am always in one faith test or another since this journey began, lol. 

 

In all this time, He has never failed me. Yet, it took faith-action on my part. God had me create a “Dream Diamonds Course” to help and equip others to find the hidden treasures in their dreams and pull them out to be the help of an ever-present need. 

 

Nothing is impossible, but it takes the faith of a small child to believe what most people are too afraid to believe. It isn’t logical, and the promises will be deeply contested in the natural realm. Many of the dream promises that God has given to me and has fulfilled, are symbols or items that most people would dismiss or overlook. 

 

Yet to a child that still believes in imagination and dreams, there is a whole world of promise ready to be discovered, like long, lost ocean gems. This course is beautiful, and it is so enjoyable to listen to. It is a self-paced series of audio recordings that share so many of the treasures that I have learned from combing my dreams for treasures from God. 

 

Every single treasure that He has given me has come to pass, and there has been more occurrences than I have had the time to write about yet, aside from the one that I am believing for now. This level of faith is for the “child-like” at faith and the pure in heart to believe that God is a God who sees and who is the Hidden Well of Water in the desert to make their hopes and dreams come alive.

I love you so much, and I am touching my faith to whatever you are believing and trusting God to do for you now.
