Dreams Open Our Ears 
Because of our current busy lifestyle, many of us have 
a hard time spending quality time alone with the Lord. We live 
in a time of instant this and that. Even ministry can put de-
mands upon us to produce. We are in a hurry to accomplish our 
assignments. Also our intellectual, reasoning, logical mind 
tends to argue with a commander when instructions are given. 
Like children, we want explanations. We want to know why we 
should obey and what is the advantage of obedience. God’s in-
structions often seem so illogical, but that is where trust and

obedience come in to play. Many of us, if we knew all that is 
required of each step of obedience would not obey. We need to 
trust and obey each step of the way.
Dreams will bypass the logical mind and open our ears 
to God. In Numbers 12:6, the Lord says: 
Hear now My words, If there is a prophet among 
you, I, the Lord make Myself known to him in a 
vision; I speak to him in a dream. 
Dreams Seal God’s Instructions 
In a previous chapter, I gave the example from Mat-
thew’s gospel, how the Lord gave Joseph instructions to marry 
Mary in a dream, and later after Jesus was born, to flee to 
Egypt. Our instruction should come primarily from the Word, 
which we read every day.
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; my 
heart also instructs me in the night seasons (Psalm 
16:7). 
By reading the Word every day, we should know the 
personality of God. We should be assured of His love and that 
His plans for us are to give us a hope and a future. However, 
when He speaks to us in a picture, an action, object, color, etc., 
His instruction is more easily sealed in our mind.
One time I had a dream that I was interviewing a Jew 
from Jerusalem. I understood that to mean I should learn more 
about what was going on in Jerusalem directly rather than de-
pend on the newspapers or TV. Now we can access news from 
the Internet about Jerusalem or a Christian website, which will 
give me more accurate information. I needed another perspec-
tive.
