Daystar Ministry for Prophecy, Dreams and Visions

Index:

• Scripture exercise: Joshua 5:6-12 Not just an exercise but also a revelation in due season for your understanding!
• Dream exercise: The wall opened into the Promised Land of God's presence This exercise is a must for prophetic folks as it is for your particular understanding and blessing!

Theme: The nature and taste of the fruit of the Promised Land

The scriptures are pure and so every word has meaning (Mt. 5:18). This means that the interpretations could easily fall into a format of words and phrases that should help us to exercise and refine our prophetic interpretation skills. The "hidden manna" ( Rev.2:17) of the Old Testament can only be revealed by their New Testament application. That is, we will need to read the Old Testament with our spiritual New Testament eyes in the Holy Ghost.

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (Jn.3:3).

The ability that we have and which we can develop directly from the Holy Spirit in the interpretation of scriptures, is the same ability that we have for the interpretation of prophecy, dreams and visions. If you simply rely on past knowledge in the study of scriptures then you will not know the reality of the presence, teaching and leading of the invisible Holy Spirit. Here, you will not have any credible ability to interpret prophecy, dreams and visions because it is God, who is with us and in us, who interprets them.

"And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you" (Gen. 40:8).

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" (John 14:26).

Joshua 5:6 "For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey."

Dream exercise:

The wall opened into the Promised Land of God's presence

Received by Paula M. Cavu on 21st June 1985

Circumstances:

I have been reading in the book of Numbers about Israel's preparation to enter into Canaan.

We were at this place where a film was being made. The setting was supposed to be so many years ago historically that there was no settlement. The camera crew and the producers did not seem to notice that they were actually picking up a little settlement of a couple of houses way out on the other side of the river. I mentioned this to someone beside me.

Then things changed, the filming had vanished and a group of us had arrived at this place (the same place of filming). We had been traveling for miles ever since we were separated from the original exodus movement. We were one tribe of Israel and the other tribes of Israel had scattered to different areas.

The place where we arrived was already inhabited. It seemed to be a land of plenty and potential. Some folks from our group ran down to the river which was full of life. Prawns were abundant. I had my hand in the crack of a rock and my fingers were bitten by the claws of prawns. The prawns were easy to pick up by our hands.

The inhabitants of the place regarded us suspiciously and as a threat. We knew that we had to be very careful in our relationship with them. I figured that if we settle, work hard and become an asset to the productivity of the place, then we should be able to integrate and be accepted by this people.

We then collected sand and hiked to a site for our settlement. The going was tough and difficult as it had been for so many years of traveling and wandering. On a hill we passed by some local folks. There were no greetings but only suspicions from them. We finally arrived at the site which was in an alluvial valley and by the rocky side of a river. Then it seemed that we had been wandering and looking for an ancient Israelite settlement site and we had just found it.

There was this white wall and pillars at the rocks by the river. Someone was standing in front of the wall and he was reciting religious chants in order to try and open up the wall. The wall, however, did not open for him. I approached the wall and immediately the wall opened up and I went inside.

I entered into the glory of the temple bathed in golden light. I was in God's presence and I was immediately overcome by this glorious experience and the fact that we had found what we were searching for. We had endured so many years of traveling and hardship to get here that I just bowed down on my knees and wept and travailed for Israel. It was a deep travail for the soul of Israel in its wanderings and hardship and of being cut off from their God, and here He was! It was a travail of self pity and a travail of relief. At last, we were together again with our God!

The Golden Temple was God Himself and my wailing and weeping was that of a true Jew travailing in the Jewish priesthood way. I then realized that the Temple was God Himself because it was an expression of Himself and it was built exactly according to His directions.
