Prophetic dream and interpretation...

A short time ago, I had a series of vivid dreams in one night.

In the first dream, I was was walking around my unfinished house with the fire marshall. There was no drywall up and it was dark inside the house. We were looking through the house with a flashlight. The fire marshall happened to be my friend, I knew that the house was being inspected. I woke up and it was 3:38 AM on my digital clock.

Instantly I kew that the scripture associated with 3:38 AM was Jeremiah 33:8

8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me.

I then had a second dream. This time, I dreamt that I was in the White House. I had been invited for a special Innaugural ball. The Maitre De brought out all sorts of different types of cake. I grabbed a large piece of chocolate cake (without cutting it). I then realized that I had taken the last piece of the chocolate cake. I offered to divide the cake up, but no one else wanted the cake. I ate the first bit of my Chocolate cake. I didn't want any more because it tasted weird. (I think I complained to the Maitre De but I am not sure) The Maitre De then said, "Eat this during transition" I then woke up.

Interpretation:
Many people around IHOP have been asking for God to release the flood of the Holy Spirit in power. I believe the house represents the house of prayer and individuals like me in it. God has called His Church to be a house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:6-7). The reason why it was dark was because "the power" hasn't been turned on yet (We have not yet experienced the breakthrough of power yet in the Body of Christ in Kansas City).

The inspector represents Jesus Christ coming as a friend. (The friend who appeared in my dream is my friend who holds me accountable on a number of things.) The 338 am timing is about the purpose. Jesus isn't inspecting the house to disqualify people or the house. Instead, he is going to shine the light on what needs to be changed so that when the power is turned on, the whole house doesn't go up in flames. It was dark inside (and out) indicating the inspection was during a time of testing or difficulty (dark night of the soul).


In the second part of the dream, the white house represents governmental intercession or authority. We have been invited by God to participate in His government and influence or shift the governments of nations into His will. We are seated with Christ in heavenly places.

The term "Maitre' De" literally means, "master of the house" or "master of the hall"- Jesus is referred to as the Master of God's household (Hebrews 3:6). In scripture, cakes were often used as offerings before God, often associated with thanksgiving. In the Hebraic scriptures, people made and ate cakes for food. I was particularly struck with the story of Elijah.

5 Then he lay down under the tree and fell asleep. All at once an angel touched him and said, "Get up and eat." 6 He looked around, and there by his head was a cake of bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.
7 The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."

APPLICATION:
OUCH! This has a personal application for me (i.e. I haven't been doing too well.)

1. There is a time of testing and transition coming that will be difficult.

2. God is inspecting the house (as thing will be revealed underneath the surface) that must be fixed before God can really turn the power "on" (the outpouring of the Spirit in power with signs and winders). However, this is not something that will disqualify anyone or the house from their calling...as long as people do not quit (leave the violations in place without doing anything about them).

3. The way to survive (or even thrive) the inspection with a heart alive is thanksgiving. The 1 Kings 19 passage implies that we cannot endure the test that is coming apart from this.

Thank God for His mercy!
