Dreams Part 7 Doves

The dove directly aligns with biblical themes of the Holy Spirit, reconciliation, and divine assurance most of the time, but a dove can be a warning.

 At Jesus’ baptism, the Holy Spirit descended "like a dove". In a dream, this represents divine validation, spiritual alignment, and God’s public or personal approval over your life's current direction. Watch if the dove comes from above or flys from the ground.

Just as Noah’s dove returned to the ark with an olive branch to signal the end of the flood, a dove symbolizes that a season of judgment or hardship has passed. God is initiating a clean slate and a fresh start. Notice what it is carrying.

Doves are traditionally viewed as birds so pure that demonic forces cannot naturally counterfeit their true, peaceful form. It represents an incorruptible area of your soul or a call to be "harmless as doves" in a hostile world. Notice the color of the dove.

The gentle cooing of a dove mirrors the sensitive nature of the Holy Spirit, who acts as the Comforter. It can signify that God is closely comforting you through a period of grief or hidden sorrow. Listen to its voice.

When a dove appears in a dark, chaotic, or manipulative context within a dream, the interpretation shifts toward witchcraft, false prophecy, and occult counterfeits.

A primary tactic of the occult is to dress divination up in religious, Christian-sounding language. A distorted or manipulative dove warns of a false prophet, psychic, or charismatic leader who uses a gentle, "godly" outward appearance to hide manipulation and spiritual control.

In spiritual warfare dreams, a dead, injured, or caged dove can indicate that your peace, joy, or destiny is being actively targeted by occult rituals or spiritual attacks meant to bleed away your blessings.

Sometimes a dove may seem trapped, despite to get away. An aggressive or binding environment involving a dove warns of a false sense of security. It indicates you are being lulled into a passive, submissive state by forces trying to keep you from speaking out or defending your spiritual boundaries.

Dreams Part 6 Sheep

The Bible often refers to followers as sheep and Jesus as the Shepherd.

A peaceful sheep reflects emotional tranquility, contentment, and a lack of conflict in your life. Seeing a flock 9f sheep symbolizes strong social connections, supportive friendships, or a deep sense of belonging.

Sheep embody pure intentions, kindness, a gentle spirit, and trusting relationships. Sheep represent faith, divine guidance, and alignment with the Holy Spirit. A healthy flock often points to upcoming financial stability, a rewarding harvest, or general life comforts.

Following a flock blindly warns that you are sacrificing your individuality, opinions, or personal choices to please others. You are following man instead of following Christ.

A lost or isolated sheep highlights feelings of helplessness, insecurity, or a fear of being taken advantage of. It also shows those around you that need you to tell them the Gospel.

A sheep skin covering something else (like a wolf) warns of deception, false friends, or a hidden threat in your inner circle. A stationary or silent sheep can signal that you are being too submissive or letting others walk all over you. A lone, wandering sheep reflects a sense of being spiritually lost, disconnected from your purpose, or lonely.

If you see more than one flock and a sheep is crying out in the other flock, this is showing you someone who is following something ungodly.

If you see a black sheep among light colored sheep, this is showing you a lost person. If you see a flock following an unknown shepherd,  that is showing you a cult, ungodly church or a false belief.

Dreams Part 5 The Lion

The lion can either good or bad in a dream. No I won't just come out and tell you. Why? Because I want to give you a practice of discernment.

The lion is a majestic animal. It is called the King of the jungle. It's family is called a pride. It doesn't just walk, it struts.

It doesn't hunt it's prey, it has the lioness to do that, but it will attack large animals that threaten his pride.

When going after prey they go after the weakest. Most of their day is spent sleeping.

 A lion mirrors your own hidden or rising inner bravery to face challenges head-on. As the king of the jungle, the lion represents noble authority, ambition, and stepping up to take charge. A peaceful or guarding lion often reflects how angels are watching over you.

The animal's majestic nature points to healthy self-esteem, personal power, and determination. A lion standing boldly can represent your spiritual growth, a transformed mind, or divine favor in your life.

A roaring or charging lion warns that your own hidden rage or destructive pride is getting out of hand. It can represent a bullying boss, toxic relationship, or aggressive force dominating your waking life. Being chased indicates you are running away from raw, dangerous emotions that you need to face.

An attack by a lion warns of a fierce rivalry or power struggle coming to a head soon. Watching a caged or trapped lion reflects feelings of helplessness, frustration, or blocked personal power. A snarling lion warns that your walk with God is not where it should be. The lion is seeking to devour you and you need to increase your time with God to become stronger.

Next week we study the sheep

Dreams Part 4

The Bible often mentions animals. This week we will begin our discussion of 10 and their positive meanings, starting this week with the eagle.

Eagles are majestic birds known for exceptional vision, high-altitude soaring, and unmatched physical strength. These powerful creatures symbolize freedom, focus, and resilience.

Their eyesight is up to eight times clearer than human sight, letting them spot small prey from miles away. In the spiritual realm this points to discernment.

They fly higher than almost all other birds, reaching altitudes up to 10,000 feet or more. This represents us sitting in heavenly places.

They are equipped with massive, sharp talons and strong hooked beaks for hunting and survival. This represents angels being dispatched by the spoken Word of God.

Instead of hiding from bad weather, they use storm winds to lift themselves higher with less effort. This shows us resisting the enemy.

They typically mate for life and return to care for the same nest year after year. This represents our faithfulness as a disciple.

They maintain total concentration on their goals without getting distracted. This represents the spiritual fruit of self control.

Next week we will discuss the lion. Join me.

Prophecy Part 3

Prophecy Part 3

The Power of Speaking God's Word

Faith is not merely something we believe in our hearts—it is something we release with our mouths. Throughout Scripture, God reveals that our words have the power to bring His truth into every situation. Speaking God's Word is an act of faith because it aligns what we say with what God has already declared.

From the very beginning, God spoke, and creation responded. Light shattered darkness, order replaced chaos, and life sprang forth at His command. As His children, we are called to agree with His Word instead of echoing our fears, doubts, or circumstances.

When we boldly declare the promises of God, something begins to change. Our minds are renewed. Our faith grows stronger. Our hearts become anchored in truth. The atmosphere around us is influenced by the presence of God's Word.

God's Word also exposes the subtle traps of the enemy. Darkness cannot stand where truth is proclaimed. Lies lose their grip when confronted with Scripture. Fear begins to flee when we confess God's faithfulness. Discouragement gives way to hope, and confusion gives way to peace.

This does not mean we deny reality—it means we choose to agree with a greater reality: God's promises are higher than our circumstances. Faith speaks what God has spoken.

Today, let your mouth become an instrument of faith. Speak life over your family. Speak healing over your body. Speak peace over your mind. Speak salvation over those you love. Let your words agree with Heaven.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." — Proverbs 18:21

"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." — Romans 10:17

Don't spend your day repeating your problems. Spend your day proclaiming God's promises. His Word still has the power to drive away darkness and bring His light into every situation.

Prophecy Part 4

Are You Speaking Heaven’s Language or Earth’s Noise? 🗣️🔥

Proverbs 18:21 tells us clearly: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Every single day, the words coming out of your mouth are building up or tearing down. They are releasing life into your situation, or giving room for destruction. Words are not just sounds—they are spiritual authority in action.

Here is what happens in the unseen realm when you speak:

Angels Respond to the Voice of God’s Word ⚔️

Psalm 103:20 says, “Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.”

Notice the wording: angels respond to the **voice** of God’s word. When you open your mouth and declare Scripture out loud over your family, your health, and your destiny, you give physical voice to God’s promises on the earth. You give the heavenly hosts their assignment! Angels do not respond to our complaining, our worry, or our fear—they move into action when they hear God’s Word spoken in faith.

Guard Your Tongue: Don't Give Authority to the Enemy 🛑

Just as speaking God’s Word releases angelic movement, speaking out of our flesh, fear, anger, or doubt opens a door in the spirit realm. When we speak agreement with sickness, defeat, or anxiety, we are taking the spiritual authority given to us and handing it right over to the enemy. Your words give legal permission to whatever kingdom you align with. Stop giving the enemy leverage over your life through careless words!

You Are an Ambassador of the Kingdom 👑

2 Corinthians 5:20 calls us **Ambassadors for Christ**. An ambassador doesn't go to a foreign nation to speak their own opinions or adoption the local dialect—they represent the government that sent them.

You are a citizen of Heaven.

You are a royal heir under the King of Kings.

You are called to speak the language of the Kingdom!

When an ambassador speaks, they carry the full backing and power of the King. That means we aren't called to just "hope" things get better—we are called to **proclaim, decree, and declare** the promises of God over our lives!

Shift Your Atmosphere Today

Take a moment right now. What have you been speaking over your circumstances lately? Align your tongue with the Throne Room. Speak His promises out loud, awaken the heavenly hosts on your behalf, and watch the atmosphere change around you! 🙌✨

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee... — Job 22:28

Share this with someone who needs a reminder of the authority in their voice today! 

Prophecy Part 2

Monday Prophecy Series – Part 2: The Prophecy of Your Words

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." — Proverbs 18:21

Have you ever stopped to ask what that verse really means?

Genesis tells us that Adam and Eve were created in the image of God. Humanity was designed to reflect the heart, character, and nature of our Creator. Sin shattered that reflection, and the world has been speaking the language of death ever since.

But something changed at the cross.

When we are born again, we become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Our old man was crucified with Christ, and we have been recreated in His image. We are no longer defined by who we were—we are defined by who Christ has made us to be.

If our identity has changed, then our speech should change as well.

Too often we continue speaking the language of our old life. We curse instead of bless. We lie instead of speak truth. We criticize instead of encourage. We tear people down instead of building them up. In those moments, we sound more like the world than the One who redeemed us.

Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying." He goes on to say that corrupt speech grieves the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30).

Our words matter to God.

The writer of Hebrews warns those who deliberately reject Christ that they "crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh" (Hebrews 6:6). While that passage speaks specifically about apostasy, it reminds us of the seriousness of treating Christ's sacrifice with contempt. As believers, we should never make light of the grace that purchased our salvation.

Someone may ask, "Bro. Curtis, I thought Mondays were going to be about prophecy."

They are.

Proverbs 18:21 is a prophetic verse because our words reveal what is in our hearts and help shape the direction of our lives. Every word points somewhere. But not every word originates with God.

Many of our words come from our flesh.

Think about the word SIN:

S – Self

I – Interest

N – Now

The sinful nature says, "I want what I want, when I want it." The Spirit teaches us to desire what the Father desires.

Not only should our actions reflect Christ, but our words should as well.

When someone asks where you're going, you speak your destination. When you declare your goals, you're announcing a direction. When you speak over your family, your church, your children, or even yourself, your words influence hearts and expectations.

The question is not whether you are speaking.

The question is: Whose voice are you speaking?

I believe there are four ways our words can function prophetically:

• We can speak from the flesh, expressing sinful desires.

• We can speak for the flesh, promoting human ambitions and self-interest.

• We can speak for the enemy by agreeing with fear, lies, unbelief, and anything that contradicts God's Word.

• We can hear from God and speak what He says, bringing truth, hope, encouragement, correction, and life.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Every sentence plants a seed. Every conversation moves someone toward life or toward death.

Today, ask yourself:

Am I speaking my desires, or am I speaking the desires of my Father?

Join me next Monday as we discover how every believer can become a voice through which God speaks life to the world.

Prophecy Part 1

Friends, we live in a world where the air is thick with noise. We are told that words are "just words"—empty vessels that carry no weight, no consequence, and no soul. We see the boundaries of "foul language" blurring, not just in the streets, but within our own circles, among those we respect and walk beside.

But I’m here to tell you today: Your voice is not a common thing. There is a temptation to believe that to be "relatable" or "forceful," we must adopt the grit and the grime of the language around us. We think a "harmless word" adds impact to our point. But we must ask ourselves: Who are we reflecting?

When we reach for the "corrupting talk" mentioned in Ephesians 4:29, we aren't just using a word; we are dimming our testimony. We are making the message of Jesus look common. Our speech is the front line of our witness. If our mouths mirror the world, how will the world ever see that we have been transformed by the Word?

The Bible doesn’t stutter when it comes to our speech. The Greek word used for "corrupting" or "unwholesome" is sapros. It literally means rotten, putrid, or of no value. Think about that. When we cuss, we aren't just being "edgy." We are offering something rotten to the people around us. We are taking the miracle of human communication and turning it into something of "little or no value." Is it necessary? No. Is it helpful? Never. Is it God-honoring? The Scripture makes it unambiguously clear.

The question isn't whether "times have changed" or if "meanings evolve." The question is: Does God tell us to stop?

The answer is a resounding Yes. But he doesn't just tell us what to stop; he tells us what to start. We are called to be a people whose words are:

Full of Grace: Giving life to those who hear.

Seasoned with Salt: Preserving truth and adding the flavor of the Kingdom.

Wisdom and Praise: Reflecting a heart that is anchored in something eternal.

I challenge you today to put away the anger, the malice, and the "obscene talk" from your mouth. Don't settle for the gutter when you were made for the heavens. Your speech should be so distinct, so gracious, and so full of light that people can’t help but notice the difference.

Let us be a people who don't just speak, but who bless. Let our words be the bridge that leads others to Christ, not the wall that blocks their view.

Choose today to honor the Lord with your tongue. You are an Ambassador for Christ.
