Hi Pastor Paula and daystar team,
Blessings to all of you in His Precious Name. I am sharing a dream I had last night. Prior to this dream my husband had a breakthrough in his spiritual walk. I have been interceding and blessing him. Eph. 1:17-18. He had a revelation that he is tired of working day and night and not profiting spiritually. He wants to go to Rhema Bible College or someplace that he'll learn to walk as the Apostles walked, in power. The Apostle calling is being birthed in him and his brothers, hallelujah.
I had a dream last night that my husband handed me 7 -$100 dollar bills. They were a rich purple color. They were folded into a small bundle, 5 times. I unfolded them and looked at them and there were 7 of them. I don't remember any other details. The thought that came to me on awakening was the 100 fold return. Praise God and thank you again, Humbly received, Carolyn Cook.
COMMENT BY PAULA:
Thank you for sharing this very exciting and encouraging dream which has very profound numerical symbolism. The 100 fold return of the riches of Eph 1:18 embellished with the end time number 7 is most striking with regards to that which God is about to do in His end time Apostoloic Order. The number 5 also speaks of the special end time Grace of God (Lk.9:16) in the double rains (former and latter rain) and double anointing (2 times spirit of Elijah) upon the end time glorious Church built on the foundation of God’s apostles and prophets.
Joel 2:23
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God:
for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause
to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain
in the first month.
Ps 110: 2 The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
3 THY PEOPLE [SHALL BE] WILLING IN THE DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
====================================
THE DREAM IS REVEALING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADDING THAT WHICH OF THE POTENT AND POWERFUL SPIRIT OF GOD TO THAT WHICH IS OF THE SPIRIT OF THE WORLD. That which is of the spirit of the world is that which has been from your background foray into Eastern Mysticism, New Age, Modern Psychology and the Occult.

DREAM:
I got this short dream in which I found myself in a bedroom, which I
‘knew’ to be mine but it was not like the one that I use at home and
share with my wife. In this room there were only two things. One was a
single bed which, oddly, rested upon a platform about belly-high in the
middle of the room.
· A bedroom - The ministry of dreams and visions and also the place of rest in God.
· Single bed on a platform - Divine dreams and visions which are given to the individual rather than given corporately to a married couple, to a group or to a local church. This shows God’s focus and dealing with individual believers in the days in which we live. That is, His divine communion in direct teaching and leading is focused on us individually. Only in Him, in His Spirit, Word and Life, are we the corporate Church and Body of Christ. This also reveals God’s plan to bring the Church to maturity through working with the individual. Here, communing in dreams and visions with the individual is one of the fundamental ways (raised platform) in which the Lord is bringing His Church to maturity. This is going to affect the present structure of denominations and churches in the physical realm which function as if they were individually the corporate Body of Christ and the head minister and his helpers as if he was Christ and His apostles.
The other was a large cylindrical gasoline storage tank on a high stand, like you might see outdoors on a farm or ranch. The bed didn’t have a regular mattress, but a water bed mattress. This was transparent, so you could see the contents inside.
· Water bed mattress - Dreams and visions of the sleep and trance states which of the Spirit of God.
· A large cylindrical gasoline storage tank on a high stand - portraying the divine potential power that is going to be released into God’s people through God’s communion in dreams and visions.
As I examined these things, I ‘knew’ that I had been filling the mattress with gasoline from the large tank. Actually, I must have been adding to it, because I could see that about a third of the filling was gas and the rest was water.
· Howard, perhaps we now have some specific instructions for you in this dream and so we can apply the above general interpretation to the gift and equipping of God in your life in dreams and visions. If the mattress represents your dreams and visions ministry then the dream is revealing that you have been adding that which of the potent and powerful Spirit of God (gasoline) to that which is of (the spirit of) the world (water in this dream). That which is of the spirit of the world is that which has been from your background foray into Eastern Mysticism, New Age, Modern Psychology and the Occult.
It occurred to me that there might be a problem in mixing the two, so I looked around and noticed that there was a drain and a drain hose nearby. There was some tubing and valving handy, and I drained out the water.
· Yes, the dream is telling you that “there might be a problem in mixing the two.” You thus have to drain out all that is of this mixture from your dreams and visions ministry.
Then I started up filling the bed again with gasoline. It never occurred to me that this was a mistake or a dangerous thing, mind you. Somehow, I ‘knew’ that this would ‘fuel’ my work somehow. The gas was kind of trickling in at a slow pace, and this was annoying. I looked around and saw that there was a kind of regulator valve on the line coming from the storage tank. I played with it a bit, and found that I could increase the flow to quite a gusher. The bed was about full of fresh gasoline when the dream stopped.
That which is of the Spirit of God will fuel your work in the ministry of dreams and visions. The dream is saying that things will progress slowly at first (annoying trickle) but then you will find that which will make it to flow (regulator valve). It is the Lord’s will that your dreams and visions ministry (bed) be filled with the Spirit which is of God (gasoline).
Eph 3:19
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, THAT YE
MIGHT BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD.
Eph 3:20
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that
we ask or think, according to THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US,
Eph 3:21
Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages,
world without end. Amen.
INTERPRETATION BY HOWARD:
I believe that the bed in this dream represents either my own dream and
vision work or that of the D&V ministry as a whole. The curious
position of the bed (up on a stand in the middle of the room), indicates
to me that the bed is not just for sleeping – it’s for more than that.
Actually, the situation reminds me of nothing so much as the altar in a
Church – the place where the sacraments are blessed and distributed.
Wow. Finally, the pair of fluids is intriguing. Normally I would
associate the water in a dream with the Holy Spirit. However, in this
dream it is getting replaced with something much more potent. Thus the
water could also be symbolic of more material, mundane or lower energies
– recall that water in the form of the seas and oceans is used
Biblically to represent chaos and evil powers and principalities.
Gasoline, of course, doesn’t show up in Bibilical imagery, except that I
might note that there is the parable of the ten virgins and lamps. The
five wise virgins brought or obtained oil (a light flammable fluid) to
keep their lamps (faith, hope, expectation) lit until the coming of the
Groom (the Lord). The five foolish virgins had no oil, and were
excluded from the wedding. Also, the flammable fluid and fire reminds
me of the ‘tongues of flame’ that appeared upon the disciples at
Pentecost. Perhaps both are correct, and the gasoline represents a more
volatile manifestation of the Spirit (in the various Gifts) while the
water represents a more typical manifestation of the Spirit (as the
Comforter).
Thinking back many years ago. I had another dream that was very
similar. It came at a time when I was, as I then thought, making great
progress in an eastern style of meditation. This involved encouraging
energy flows in the body. I got to the point where I could really feel
it and it was, at times, quite intense. I’ve been doing nothing like
that for a long time (almost fifteen years), and have since sworn it
off, dedicating any of my prayers and contemplation to the Lord, and
doing so only with a purely Christian context and under the protection
of the Holy Spirit.
Anyway, at that time, I was so energized that I was having trouble
sleeping. At the peak of it, I had a strange dream that I was getting
my car filled with gas at a gas station. I was pumping the gas into the
tank, and stood there what seemed like way too long pumping in the gas.
So I figured that something was wrong with the measuring device, and was
certain that I’d put enough gas in for the time being. I shut off the
pump, paid the bill, and got into the car. I started it up and happened
to look over my shoulder into the back seat and the trunk area (it was a
convertible, so you could see the trunk volume, too). I was shocked to
see that the gas had overflowed the tank (under the trunk), and had
filled the entire volume of the trunk and the back seat, too. This
struck me as really dangerous and then I woke up. BTW, I tapered off on
my meditation activities after that, and eventually left it entirely.
Perhaps, I was getting protective guidance from the Lord, even then,
without recognizing the source!
So, anyway, the current dream seems to have some relation to that
earlier dream and situation. It speaks of a filling of very potent
spiritual energy. In the current dream, however, the fuel is well
contained and useful for some kind of purpose; previously it was
sloshing around everywhere and any little spark would have started a
destructive and fatal conflagration.
Given that my own dream and vision work has slowed down lately (as a
direct result of guidance gotten from dreams and visions), it seems to
me that this dream has a broader meaning. It could well be descriptive
of the end time Church in general, and a message for Daystar and related
ministries in particular.
In Christ,
Howard

Subject: October 1999, Dream given to Denise
I was walking toward a large multi-storeyed building.
· Large multi-storeyed building - the end time Church and Mountain of the Lord with many different levels in it.
---Isaiah 2:
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the
LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall
be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will
teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion
shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
It has many rooms, large elongated windows and was constructed of thick concrete walls. I entered the building through double doors leading into a round
foyer.. The foyer was surrounded on all sides with many windows.
· Many rooms, large elongated windows - Many apostolic and prophetic ministries are being established in the Church.
· Thick concrete walls - Stability and security in the Church built on the foundation of apostles and prophets.
· Round foyer - many people are able to congregate at the bottom of the mountain.
· Double doors - Can freely go in and out in liberty.
Jn 10: 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and SHALL GO IN AND OUT, and find pasture.
I noticed a tall, thin man dressed in dark clothing entered the building
before I did. He has a sinister air about him. His movements had the
appearance of slinking or stealth about them. He slipped past a
doorway and disappeared up a flight of stairs. I felt an urgency to
pursue him.
Jn 10: 10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am
come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly
· The thief represents the demonic power and activities of Satan which have been brought to oppose the move/work of God in the apostolic and prophetic Church of the end times.
Jn 10: 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the
sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know
not the voice of strangers.
As I approached the long staircase, (which was off to my left as I
entered the building (does left side hold some importance?) I saw that
it was switched - back up several floors (switched - back is like zig
zag) The stairs were also of concrete but were dusty and full of cobwebs
- but as I looked up I could see more and more light coming from the
elongated windows above.
· I believe that this section is speaking of the desire of God for His people to go higher up the Mountain of the Lord. The paths were dusty and had cobwebs so it is showing that it has not been used often or recently and the way is difficult (zig zag). However, this is the time for God’s people to climb higher up the Mountain of the Lord as there is progressively more revelation and enlightenment in our direct fellowship with God the further up we go.
Suddenly I felt many hands grab onto my feet and ankles, trying to pull
me back down the steps. I know these were companions of the tall thin
man. I turned around, pointed my (right index) finger at them and began
to bind them in the name of Jesus. A bolt of blue lightning went from
my finger into them - I held my finger over their eyes and over their
hearts. One by one they began to loosen their grip. As I held onto the
banister I kicked out with my feet and it caught them all at once and
broke their final hold on my legs and ankles.
· There is great opposition to God's people moving higher up the mountain. The antichrist false ministers within Christendom will try to hold the people back from progressing to the higher levels of God’s apostolic and prophetic calling. The higher up the mountain we go the greater is our ability to be taught and led directly of the Holy Spirit and the less is our reliance on fallible flesh and blood.
· The end time apostles and prophets will bring back power into the church. Just as Jesus was able to tell Peter ' Satan, get thee behind me', so will they.
---Matthew 16:
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou
art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of
God, but those that be of men.
PART 2 OF DREAM
I found myself standing in a large meeting hall. Many were gathered
there including those who have been the tall thin man's companions. I held
the Word of God in my hands and began speaking to all who were
gathered. In the midst of my discussion a woman came up and tried to
grab the Word out of my hand saying "Here, Let me do it." I fended her
off then shortly another woman in the crowd came up to grab the
bible from me stating she could do it better. I held my hand and right
arm out against her and pulled the Bible back to my side. (In a
protective gesture - like a mother defending her child.) I said to those
gathered, "I may not quote scripture to you word for word but you hear
the Word of God and you know it is truth. Let God do the work.)
· This second part of the dream is revealing how many will be influenced by the thief/Satan to oppose and promote themselves into the office of apostle and prophet but the true apostles and prophets will know their calling and anointing and will stand against the devices of the god of this world. The Apostolic Order will bring people to the place where they can be directly taught and led by the Holy Spirit. (you hear the word of God and know it is true)
---John 14:
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 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.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it
be afraid.
PART 3 OF DREAM
I left this meeting place to meet with others in another building. Suddenly someone came running to me and said, "You should hear those others you just left! They have exploded with the power of a 950 Squadron! The power of God has ignited them in unison! End of dream.
* Praise be to God! This end time Apostolic order will break
barriers and strongholds and will cause God's people to unite in His
power and order.
