- 0:12Speaker 2: in and we got a special guest in the building.
- 0:15Speaker 2: We have passed Stephanie E. K okafor did I say right?
- 0:17Speaker 3: You said it?
- 0:18Speaker 4: Good?
- 0:18Speaker 3: Okay, thank you so much, welcome, thank you to be here.
- 0:21Speaker 3: I feel good.
- 0:22Speaker 5: You related to the basketball player? No, okay, got you,
- 0:25Speaker 5: got you, got you, got you. You got a new
- 0:27Speaker 5: book out and not a power of your dreams. Yeah,
- 0:30Speaker 5: I love a good dream book. I'm the type of
- 0:31Speaker 5: person that I keep dream books by my bedside. When
- 0:34Speaker 5: I wake up, I can look and see what certain
- 0:36Speaker 5: things mean that will got you into wanting to write
- 0:39Speaker 5: this book. No.
- 0:40Speaker 3: So, I encountered God when I was nine years old,
- 0:43Speaker 3: and one of the ways that was so consistent was
- 0:46Speaker 3: that He will speak to me through dreams. And it's
- 0:49Speaker 3: interesting when you talk about, you know, using like having
- 0:52Speaker 3: books that tell you about symbols and things like that,
- 0:55Speaker 3: because I think one of the reasons why maybe sometimes
- 0:57Speaker 3: people don't even understand the fullness of dream is because
- 1:00Speaker 3: they pick it apart, and the whole dream is telling
- 1:05Speaker 3: the message. So if you only pick it apart, you
- 1:07Speaker 3: may not understand the fullness of it. But dreams has
- 1:10Speaker 3: been so consistent for me ever since nine years old.
- 1:13Speaker 5: That is a great point because I never looked at
- 1:15Speaker 5: the whole totality of my dream.
- 1:16Speaker 6: I find like one thing that that stood out.
- 1:19Speaker 3: It's like a web MD of dreams where people like
- 1:21Speaker 3: get books or go on Google and you're like, you
- 1:24Speaker 3: only look at one thing. And that's one of the
- 1:26Speaker 3: things I talk about in the book, where you have
- 1:28Speaker 3: to look at it like a whole story and to
- 1:31Speaker 3: understand in each symbol to tell the you know, kind
- 1:34Speaker 3: of like tell what is the dreams really saying?
- 1:37Speaker 2: That you said you had an account with God at
- 1:39Speaker 2: the age of nine, Yeah, what was that encounter?
- 1:41Speaker 4: What did he say? What was that conversation? What just
- 1:44Speaker 4: enlightened us with what it was?
- 1:46Speaker 3: Yeah? So my father was murdered when I was eight
- 1:48Speaker 3: months old, and so I grew up with like a
- 1:51Speaker 3: lot of anger. And there was one day that you know,
- 1:54Speaker 3: my mom was looking for this document and I was
- 1:57Speaker 3: just like it was something that she really needed, you know,
- 2:00Speaker 3: just for the times that we were in and I
- 2:02Speaker 3: was like, man, God, you know, if you didn't take
- 2:04Speaker 3: my father, it was just another reason why I got
- 2:06Speaker 3: angry again. But that day literally like, I remember being
- 2:10Speaker 3: in my room and I could feel like a presence
- 2:12Speaker 3: in my room, but it wasn't scary. But then for
- 2:15Speaker 3: a nine year old, it's like, bruh, who's in my room?
- 2:18Speaker 7: You know?
- 2:19Speaker 3: And I won't I go to my mom's room because
- 2:21Speaker 3: I'm like, whatever is going on there, I don't want
- 2:23Speaker 3: no part of it. So I got my mom's room.
- 2:25Speaker 3: She's and she's up, she's in her bed. She's like,
- 2:27Speaker 3: what are you doing. I was like, oh, and I
- 2:28Speaker 3: just want to, you know, sleep, sleep in your room.
- 2:30Speaker 3: She's like, okay, hop in. So the moment I hop
- 2:32Speaker 3: in her bed, she's out cold, like not moving, not responding,
- 2:37Speaker 3: and I feel the same presence again in her room.
- 2:40Speaker 3: And I didn't really believe in God at that age,
- 2:43Speaker 3: but my mom has always been a strong believer, and
- 2:46Speaker 3: so I didn't even know. Now I knew what was
- 2:48Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit, then I didn't realize what made me
- 2:51Speaker 3: ask the question. And I was like, God, if this
- 2:53Speaker 3: is of you? Because I was thinking, okay, if this
- 2:55Speaker 3: is my Mom's God, he can't harm me. I'm like,
- 2:57Speaker 3: if this is of you, cause win to float through
- 3:00Speaker 3: ru my ankles and they were out of nowhere. The
- 3:03Speaker 3: windows are not open, nothing there was like this wind
- 3:06Speaker 3: that just flows through me. Because with my eyes closed,
- 3:09Speaker 3: I could see a man sitting but his home makeup
- 3:12Speaker 3: was like light. So then I removed like the covers
- 3:15Speaker 3: of my eyes and I see him with my eyes open,
- 3:18Speaker 3: sitting there and he gets up. He walks over to
- 3:22Speaker 3: my mom and I start asking him questions because I
- 3:24Speaker 3: thought it was God. And I was like, where were
- 3:26Speaker 3: you with my dad? Dad? D da da da da,
- 3:28Speaker 3: And he starts saying something. I had no clue what
- 3:30Speaker 3: he was saying. He walks over to my mom. He
- 3:32Speaker 3: opens her hand, he puts like this piece of paper
- 3:35Speaker 3: in her hand, closes, it disappears. So when that happened,
- 3:39Speaker 3: my mom gets up and I was like, Mom, so
- 3:41Speaker 3: I opened her hand, there's nothing there. I'm like, Mom,
- 3:43Speaker 3: like this just happened. Da da da da dah. She
- 3:45Speaker 3: was like, Stephanie, I thought it was God. I was like,
- 3:48Speaker 3: God was in the room. And she's like, I don't
- 3:49Speaker 3: think it works like that. So she goes back to bed.
- 3:52Speaker 3: She's like, Stephanie, I think you're tripping. She wakes up
- 3:55Speaker 3: that morning, her pastor calls her and he was like, Hey,
- 3:58Speaker 3: I was in prayer and I just feel like to
- 4:00Speaker 3: tell you that there was an angelic encounter in your home.
- 4:03Speaker 3: But he didn't know to the degree of what he
- 4:05Speaker 3: was even saying. And I was like, Mom, I'm telling you,
- 4:07Speaker 3: this happened randomly. The document we had been literally ripping
- 4:12Speaker 3: the whole house apart for just shows up on the
- 4:14Speaker 3: table and then I'm like, wait, was that the document?
- 4:18Speaker 3: Like was that what it symbolized? Like they put in
- 4:20Speaker 3: our hand? And so I'm like, oh my gosh, I
- 4:22Speaker 3: met God. And then I stooded hearing the voice of
- 4:24Speaker 3: God and it was like, dude, that was not me.
- 4:26Speaker 3: That was an angel. And then he starts describing to
- 4:29Speaker 3: me who angels are, but then points me to read
- 4:32Speaker 3: the Bible. I had never really read the Bible, tells
- 4:35Speaker 3: me what scriptures to read. I could hear it so clearly,
- 4:38Speaker 3: and I'm like, Mom, I need a Bible. I need
- 4:40Speaker 3: like a study a kid's Bible. And I'm like, so
- 4:43Speaker 3: she's the one guiding me where to go to to
- 4:45Speaker 3: read those scriptures and I'm literally seen in the scripture
- 4:47Speaker 3: when it talks about angels and X, Y and Z.
- 4:50Speaker 3: And after that, it was like something just unlocked for
- 4:53Speaker 3: me spiritually. I said, at hearing the voice of God,
- 4:55Speaker 3: I will have encounters and dreams. Some dreams was like
- 4:58Speaker 3: a very like you know, just it didn't even need
- 5:01Speaker 3: to be explained. The dream was literally like an encounter.
- 5:04Speaker 3: And then some dreams were just like symbols that had
- 5:07Speaker 3: hidden messages in it, and that became like my life
- 5:11Speaker 3: ever since.
- 5:11Speaker 7: Then.
- 5:11Speaker 6: What did the angel look like?
- 5:12Speaker 5: It looked like Homie from the Crossroads video.
- 5:16Speaker 3: It was so he had like as he had a
- 5:19Speaker 3: human form, but the only difference his home makeup was light.
- 5:24Speaker 3: That was everything about him was like light radiating. So
- 5:28Speaker 3: I couldn't even tell you what he how to describe
- 5:30Speaker 3: his features because it was just light y.
- 5:32Speaker 5: I'm sorry, I just won't to say I believe her
- 5:35Speaker 5: because I've seen the same thing exactly like that.
- 5:38Speaker 3: How old were you?
- 5:40Speaker 5: I was actually old. That was in my teenage years,
- 5:42Speaker 5: and I remember laying in the bed sleeping, and I
- 5:45Speaker 5: thought I was dreaming, and it looked like my bedroom
- 5:48Speaker 5: door burst it open, And when it bursted open, it
- 5:51Speaker 5: was just this figure that was light.
- 5:54Speaker 6: Yeah, it had a human form. I couldn't see a phase,
- 5:57Speaker 6: but it had a human form, but it was just light.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:00Speaker 3: What happened after that?
- 6:01Speaker 4: Seeing aliens? To an alien came and got them too.
- 6:04Speaker 3: I could tell you stories. We call them aliens, but
- 6:09Speaker 3: they're really just monic spirits.
- 6:11Speaker 4: Oh, I believe you aliens shot him in the lake.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Tell the story that we're having a real conversation about God,
- 6:19Speaker 5: but he would try to interject you.
- 6:22Speaker 7: She said that, like when she confirmed that you probably
- 6:24Speaker 7: saw demonic it just I don't know.
- 6:26Speaker 3: It sits well with me, Like yeah, because angels really
- 6:31Speaker 3: come in a way that their their presence, their essence
- 6:34Speaker 3: is so radiating, but then they're also you can also
- 6:38Speaker 3: have encounters with demonic spirits. That's also I've had. I
- 6:41Speaker 3: could tell too many stories.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Is it a mission that you feel like from seeing
- 6:45Speaker 2: that and from having those conversations, do you feel like
- 6:48Speaker 2: you were sent on a mission to do something?
- 6:50Speaker 4: And do you know what that mission is?
- 6:51Speaker 3: If so, I think not even I think everyone has
- 6:55Speaker 3: their angels assigned to everyone on this earth. Like life
- 6:58Speaker 3: is not just physical, it's actually more spiritual than physical.
- 7:02Speaker 3: I think the difference is that there are times that
- 7:04Speaker 3: you know, based on how God is working with someone,
- 7:07Speaker 3: that he might open your eyes to see things at
- 7:10Speaker 3: a younger age. And if you're not scared of it,
- 7:13Speaker 3: if you don't run from it, and even if you do,
- 7:15Speaker 3: you can always come back to the place where you're like, God,
- 7:17Speaker 3: maybe I was scared, but show me again. And I
- 7:20Speaker 3: believe that part of my calling, even on Earth, it's
- 7:23Speaker 3: really to awaken people to the supernatural because it governs
- 7:27Speaker 3: everything that we do in the natural realm. I was
- 7:31Speaker 3: going to say, like for you, it was a lot
- 7:32Speaker 3: more clear, but like I've had like not encounters or
- 7:36Speaker 3: I saw something, but where things have happened, I'm like,
- 7:37Speaker 3: there's nothing but God. And I'll be like, God, do
- 7:39Speaker 3: it again, so I know that this is like the thing,
- 7:41Speaker 3: and then He'll do it again. So I myself, I'm
- 7:43Speaker 3: always like, no, my faith is strong because He's talked
- 7:46Speaker 3: to me shown that.
- 7:47Speaker 7: But it took a couple of times. Some people think
- 7:48Speaker 7: they're hearing things, but it might not be clear that
- 7:51Speaker 7: is God to them. How do you coach people through
- 7:54Speaker 7: being able to let that voice break through and understanding
- 7:56Speaker 7: it is God.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of the key things is from
- 7:59Speaker 3: this the foundational element of it. Right, you don't need
- 8:02Speaker 3: to read the Bible for God to speak to you,
- 8:04Speaker 3: but you need to have an understanding of His voice
- 8:07Speaker 3: in the Bible so that you're not deceived by the
- 8:09Speaker 3: voices you hear. And so when you have a good
- 8:12Speaker 3: foundation of knowing the voice of God, even in his word,
- 8:16Speaker 3: then when you begin to hear him or you see
- 8:19Speaker 3: things in the book. One of the things I talk about,
- 8:21Speaker 3: even before I get into the subject of dreams, are
- 8:23Speaker 3: the different ways we experience God's voice. Yeah, the four
- 8:27Speaker 3: primary way. So there are some people who they are feelers, right,
- 8:30Speaker 3: they can you know, God has emotions. The Bible talks
- 8:33Speaker 3: about so many types of emotions. Peace, you know, love, anger,
- 8:37Speaker 3: all these things. So there are people that you might
- 8:39Speaker 3: walk into a room there's a deal on the table
- 8:41Speaker 3: for you, everything checks off, But then you don't. You're
- 8:44Speaker 3: not at peace with this. Something is like messing up
- 8:47Speaker 3: with you, Like, I don't think this is for me.
- 8:49Speaker 3: The problem is that if we don't have a god
- 8:51Speaker 3: consciousness about life, we think it's us feeling that way.
- 8:54Speaker 3: But the Lord is trying to share his emotions with you, like, hey,
- 8:58Speaker 3: I'm not in that. You know, it might look good
- 9:00Speaker 3: on paper, but I'm not in that. So those are
- 9:02Speaker 3: people that feel. There are people that know. There's some
- 9:04Speaker 3: people that just have an instinctive knowing, and for many
- 9:08Speaker 3: that is more heightened when you're a kid like you
- 9:10Speaker 3: and Mede a child and you're like, what do you
- 9:12Speaker 3: want to be? You know, sometimes they just say random stuff,
- 9:14Speaker 3: but they're kids that just know what they want to
- 9:17Speaker 3: be and it has nothing connected to their parents, like
- 9:20Speaker 3: their family members were never in that field of work.
- 9:23Speaker 3: But they see something, they're exposed to something, and they
- 9:26Speaker 3: just have a knowing. Wait, I'm supposed to be in
- 9:28Speaker 3: this field. I'm supposed to do this. I'm supposed to
- 9:30Speaker 3: be an actress. And it's just this instinctive knowing. Because
- 9:34Speaker 3: there's a beauty with being a child, there's not Your
- 9:38Speaker 3: intelligence is not in the way the older we get
- 9:41Speaker 3: our wisdom blocks us from discerning the voice of God
- 9:45Speaker 3: because we're trying to, you know, I'll think it. We're
- 9:48Speaker 3: overthinking it, rather like where did this come from? Where
- 9:50Speaker 3: did that come from? And then there's the hearers. There
- 9:52Speaker 3: are people who you know audibly. It's more rare to
- 9:55Speaker 3: hear the Voice of God audibly now, but you can
- 9:57Speaker 3: also He also speaks in the form of thoughts. So
- 10:01Speaker 3: there are these distinctive thoughts or series of thoughts that
- 10:03Speaker 3: you would really like hear in your head. And it
- 10:06Speaker 3: has nothing to do with how you will naturally think,
- 10:09Speaker 3: how you will naturally like, you know, think about a matter.
- 10:11Speaker 3: The same way that anxiety has a voice, you know,
- 10:14Speaker 3: pain has a voice. The Lord also speaks to you
- 10:16Speaker 3: through your thoughts and then they're seers. And that's where
- 10:19Speaker 3: dreams come in. Right There are people where you're dreaming,
- 10:22Speaker 3: you see visions. There's something called open visions where you
- 10:26Speaker 3: might even be you feel as though you were somewhere
- 10:28Speaker 3: and then you're back in your body, you know. But
- 10:31Speaker 3: all these things are ways that we can experience the
- 10:33Speaker 3: voice of God. But the foundation is if you don't
- 10:36Speaker 3: know how he speaks in the Bible, then you can
- 10:39Speaker 3: easily get deceived.
- 10:40Speaker 6: So feel knowing, hearing, seeing and seeing.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Yes, So how do you break down some of those
- 10:44Speaker 2: those dreams? Right cause you talk about the power of
- 10:46Speaker 2: your dreams? Yah, I'm sure probably the biggest dream that
- 10:48Speaker 2: people have.
- 10:49Speaker 4: I'm sure somebody falling.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Yeah, And so what does that mean when somebody is falling,
- 10:54Speaker 2: or when you when people feel like they see somebody
- 10:56Speaker 2: coming in from their past life.
- 11:00Speaker 3: You said, passed like like a loved one who passed away.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Yeah, like a loved one that passed away. You know what,
- 11:06Speaker 2: For me, it's I remember when my my wife's father
- 11:10Speaker 2: passed away, right, And it was the weirdest thing.
- 11:12Speaker 4: We had balloons downstairs.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Yeah, and it was her birthday, and my wife, out
- 11:15Speaker 2: of nowhere, just started thinking about her dad. And I
- 11:18Speaker 2: don't know if this was whatever it was, but out
- 11:20Speaker 2: of nowhere, like midnight one am, the balloons that were
- 11:23Speaker 2: in the kitchen actually blew.
- 11:25Speaker 4: Up the stairs and came into the bedroom.
- 11:27Speaker 5: Wow.
- 11:28Speaker 6: It freaked me.
- 11:28Speaker 4: The fuck out freaked me to fuck out.
- 11:32Speaker 6: That helium balloons.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Yeah, they were healing balloons.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they would rise. He would think, fish.
- 11:40Speaker 6: Up the stairs and.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Experience with God.
- 11:48Speaker 1: But it could have went to any one of the
- 11:50Speaker 1: bedrooms in the house.
- 11:51Speaker 3: It went right to the bench. That's why you're talking
- 11:56Speaker 3: an alien shot him.
- 11:57Speaker 5: In the foot exactly. No, I believe I believe that
- 12:02Speaker 5: was I believe that was it. I believe that was
- 12:04Speaker 5: a sign. I believe that was him.
- 12:05Speaker 6: I really do. I'm not doing it this sound.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Yes, no, but it was out of my house, out
- 12:14Speaker 2: of any where those balloons could have went. And the
- 12:16Speaker 2: fact that she was talking about her dad and crying
- 12:18Speaker 2: over him several hours earlier just made me feel like them.
- 12:21Speaker 2: There are signs and there are angels. So how do
- 12:24Speaker 2: you you know, I guess.
- 12:25Speaker 4: Break down different dreams. What do the different dreams mean?
- 12:28Speaker 3: Yeah, So in the book I talk about just different
- 12:30Speaker 3: types of dreams, because the key thing, even before you
- 12:33Speaker 3: get into that, is to know why we dream, right God,
- 12:37Speaker 3: I mean? And their dreams can come from different places.
- 12:40Speaker 3: A dream can come from you, a dream can come
- 12:41Speaker 3: from God. A dream can come from you know, the enemy.
- 12:44Speaker 3: But when it comes from God. God has a desire
- 12:47Speaker 3: to has a desire to speak to us more than
- 12:50Speaker 3: we even desire to hear from him. Because regardless of
- 12:53Speaker 3: where we find ourselves in life, regardless of how successful
- 12:56Speaker 3: we perceive ourselves to be, regardless of all the things
- 12:59Speaker 3: we have going on, we are first His creation and
- 13:03Speaker 3: there's something there. Your life is not random. He desires
- 13:06Speaker 3: to do life with you, He desires to partner with you.
- 13:10Speaker 3: And so there are types of dreams like especially when
- 13:12Speaker 3: people see their you know loved ones who had passed on.
- 13:14Speaker 3: Those could be encouragement dreams. Now, how the dream is
- 13:18Speaker 3: presented matters, because when someone passes away, they are they
- 13:23Speaker 3: lose consciousness of the physical realm. But that does not
- 13:26Speaker 3: mean that who they are, their essence is gone, right.
- 13:29Speaker 3: They're transitioning to a different life, you know, whether that's
- 13:32Speaker 3: with the Lord or you know the opposite. Nobody wants that,
- 13:35Speaker 3: but they're transitioning now to like an eternal life, you know,
- 13:38Speaker 3: in the spiritual realm. But they don't technically have You
- 13:42Speaker 3: can see them in dreams and most people would have,
- 13:45Speaker 3: you know, these dreams where they don't speak, they just appear,
- 13:49Speaker 3: They just show themselves, right, because those realms are now
- 13:53Speaker 3: they're different realms, right, So you might see them in
- 13:55Speaker 3: a dream, and the purpose of that dream is just
- 13:57Speaker 3: the Lord trying to bring comfort to you and encourage
- 14:00Speaker 3: you that, yes you don't have your loved one with you,
- 14:03Speaker 3: but they're not fully absent. They're not fully just gone.
- 14:07Speaker 3: You know who they are, the core of who they are,
- 14:10Speaker 3: like their spirit man is still with him.
- 14:12Speaker 2: What about the opposite side of that scale, the dream
- 14:14Speaker 2: where you dream that you die.
- 14:16Speaker 3: That is a dream that now that could be warning dreams.
- 14:19Speaker 3: So we had this was president This was President Lincoln,
- 14:24Speaker 3: I believe. So he had a dream right before he
- 14:27Speaker 3: was assassinated. He literally had a warning dream. And in
- 14:31Speaker 3: the dream, he's walking, you know, through the White House
- 14:33Speaker 3: and he hears people mourning and he's like, hey, what's
- 14:36Speaker 3: going on? And somebody tells him in the dream the
- 14:39Speaker 3: president has been assassinated, and he's like wait what And
- 14:43Speaker 3: he's literally watching them mourn him, and he's like almost
- 14:47Speaker 3: like a funeral service. He wakes up. The problem is
- 14:50Speaker 3: he has that type of dream. So it's recorded that
- 14:53Speaker 3: he told people close to him the dream. But then
- 14:56Speaker 3: if no one understands, like, hey, regardless of who you are,
- 15:00Speaker 3: God is still trying to get a message to you.
- 15:02Speaker 3: If he understood the weight of the dream, he would
- 15:04Speaker 3: have counseled every activity that was coming up. But he
- 15:07Speaker 3: kept his scheduleized normal, and a few days after that
- 15:10Speaker 3: he was assassinated.
- 15:11Speaker 5: Doesn't that doesn't that, I guess the right word is
- 15:15Speaker 5: in the gate. Doesn't that negate your faith in God?
- 15:17Speaker 5: If you do that, if somebody, if you have a
- 15:19Speaker 5: dream and something bad it's gonna happen to you. And
- 15:21Speaker 5: then you just automatically cancel everything. It's like, where does
- 15:24Speaker 5: God come in the plane.
- 15:25Speaker 3: So here's the thing. You know, we have this thing
- 15:27Speaker 3: where we say, like, you know, is God in control
- 15:30Speaker 3: of life and all these things? Yes, But the Bible
- 15:34Speaker 3: says the earth has he given to man. Now what
- 15:37Speaker 3: that means is that let me even go go back
- 15:40Speaker 3: a little bit, even Jesus. Right before Jesus could do
- 15:43Speaker 3: what he was purpose to do on earth, he had
- 15:46Speaker 3: to come through a human vessel in order to execute it. Now,
- 15:50Speaker 3: this is God. God is eternal, God is all powerful.
- 15:54Speaker 3: He could have just spoken and rewritten history. But in
- 15:59Speaker 3: order for us to be real deemed, Jesus had to
- 16:01Speaker 3: come through the flesh. Why because the flesh gives you
- 16:04Speaker 3: legal rights to do things on earth. So when we
- 16:07Speaker 3: look at God, there's a reason why God desires to
- 16:10Speaker 3: partner with us. It's just like even the reason we pray.
- 16:13Speaker 3: You know, why would Jesus tell us when you pray?
- 16:16Speaker 3: Not if you pray. The reason we pray is because
- 16:18Speaker 3: we're saying, hey, God, I'm in agreement with what you're
- 16:21Speaker 3: doing and you can do it through me. The Bible
- 16:23Speaker 3: also talks about that before God reveals, before God does anything,
- 16:28Speaker 3: he reveals it. The Bible says to his servants, the prophets,
- 16:31Speaker 3: it's not even about people being prophets per se, but
- 16:34Speaker 3: that there is this prophetic stream that someone needs to
- 16:37Speaker 3: be aware of what God wants to do so that
- 16:39Speaker 3: they can partner with him in prayer. And so when
- 16:42Speaker 3: God reveals something to you in a dream, God doesn't
- 16:45Speaker 3: speak to gossip or just to be like, hey, heads up.
- 16:48Speaker 3: He speaks so that there is partnership. There is something
- 16:50Speaker 3: that needs to be counseled, there is something that needs
- 16:53Speaker 3: to change. I'll give you an example. I had a
- 16:55Speaker 3: dream one day and in the dream I saw a
- 16:58Speaker 3: calendar and on the calendar there was a particular date
- 17:01Speaker 3: circled in red. And then in the dream, I hear
- 17:04Speaker 3: pray for your brother concerning that day. So I wake
- 17:07Speaker 3: up from the dream. My brother's in Chicago. He flips
- 17:10Speaker 3: properties in Chicago, and I tell him I was like, hey,
- 17:13Speaker 3: on this day, be really careful about your movements, right,
- 17:16Speaker 3: And so I just start praying, and I just start
- 17:18Speaker 3: praying for God's protection over him. I'm like, whatever has
- 17:21Speaker 3: been a sign to his life because I literally saw death,
- 17:24Speaker 3: and I'm like, whatever is trying to, you know, take
- 17:27Speaker 3: him before his time. God just cancel it in prayer.
- 17:30Speaker 3: That day comes, my brother is going to his property,
- 17:33Speaker 3: just a regular checkup, and a car starts following him.
- 17:38Speaker 3: He didn't notice it at first, and then he makes
- 17:39Speaker 3: a turn. He's like, wait, let me just make sure
- 17:41Speaker 3: he makes a random turn. Dayturn. He makes a left turn,
- 17:43Speaker 3: dayturn left, He makes another right on dayturn right, and
- 17:46Speaker 3: then he looks and he's like, oh, they're probably trying
- 17:48Speaker 3: to like steal from him. And this is Chicago, Chicago,
- 17:51Speaker 3: even they might want to steal bread from you and
- 17:53Speaker 3: shoot you, you know. So now he's like he just
- 17:57Speaker 3: comes to a place where he's like okay, Like God
- 17:59Speaker 3: give me wisdom and how to navigate this. And he
- 18:02Speaker 3: mentioned like he didn't even know. Something just took over.
- 18:04Speaker 3: It's almost like telling him how to drive right. And
- 18:07Speaker 3: then he loses them. So he calls me right after.
- 18:10Speaker 3: He was like, Yo, the craziest thing happened today. And
- 18:13Speaker 3: I told him, I said, bro, what's today? And I'm like,
- 18:16Speaker 3: go go back to the message I sent you, like
- 18:18Speaker 3: what's today? And he looks. It was that day that
- 18:21Speaker 3: God literally showed me in the dream circled and read.
- 18:24Speaker 3: So how I partner with God was to say, God,
- 18:27Speaker 3: your purpose is that nothing happens to my brother, But
- 18:30Speaker 3: someone on earth needs to come in agreement with that
- 18:33Speaker 3: because there is something Because even when you look at
- 18:36Speaker 3: terrorist shootings and all these things, it goes beyond a person,
- 18:39Speaker 3: you know, a mental health issue, you have someone who
- 18:42Speaker 3: is influenced by a spirit to do that. And so
- 18:45Speaker 3: that day why God gave a warning ahead of time,
- 18:48Speaker 3: it's because there is something that is beyond people just
- 18:50Speaker 3: trying to steal from him. There is a spirit that
- 18:53Speaker 3: has influenced those people because of an agenda that was
- 18:56Speaker 3: not of God. And so that is why prayer is important.
- 19:00Speaker 3: You see a dream and you see yourself dying, or
- 19:03Speaker 3: you see a family member dying, doing nothing is coming
- 19:06Speaker 3: in agreement with that narrative and in pray against pray
- 19:10Speaker 3: against it and with Jesus. It's so simple. It's not
- 19:13Speaker 3: even like you got to do all this hoopla. It's
- 19:15Speaker 3: literally coming in agreement to say, you know what, Lord,
- 19:18Speaker 3: I'm speaking life into this person's life. No harm will
- 19:21Speaker 3: come before them. And so that shows us the supernatural
- 19:25Speaker 3: powers of God that even when we feel like we
- 19:28Speaker 3: got it all together. He's like, no, if I partner
- 19:30Speaker 3: with you, we could, you could, you would really get
- 19:33Speaker 3: this life right. The reason why when another coming dream
- 19:35Speaker 3: is when people see themselves in school or in a
- 19:37Speaker 3: classroom and they're trying to take a test and they
- 19:39Speaker 3: keep failing the test because God is trying to tell them, hey,
- 19:42Speaker 3: there's a different season of life you're supposed to be
- 19:44Speaker 3: stepping into, and you're you're not. You're you're missing it right.
- 19:49Speaker 3: You're still in an old season and you're still stuck there.
- 19:52Speaker 3: And so he's trying to show people like, there's more
- 19:54Speaker 3: I have for you. But because you're not seeing it right,
- 19:56Speaker 3: you're so comfortable where you are that you're missing the
- 19:59Speaker 3: test to get you to the next place.
- 20:01Speaker 2: Talk about if you if you feel comfortable about the
- 20:04Speaker 2: time you went to the doctor and God told you
- 20:06Speaker 2: something different than what your doctor told you.
- 20:08Speaker 3: Oh that that happened to me. You know. So when
- 20:11Speaker 3: I was pregnant, I have I have a daughter. When
- 20:14Speaker 3: I was pregnant with my daughter, I started experiencing like
- 20:17Speaker 3: a lot of pain, and you know, we go rush
- 20:20Speaker 3: the go to the go to the we are O
- 20:22Speaker 3: B G Y N rather and he's like trying to
- 20:26Speaker 3: you know, even confirm the pregnancy. And he's like, man,
- 20:29Speaker 3: I don't see a pregnancy here. I just see some
- 20:31Speaker 3: things that does not look good, Like you need to
- 20:32Speaker 3: go to the er. So we rush to the er.
- 20:35Speaker 3: They tell me that I have like these fibroids that
- 20:38Speaker 3: have gone, you know, gotten really big because of the
- 20:41Speaker 3: pregnancy and the blood flow going like to the womb.
- 20:44Speaker 3: So they you know, we share the results of the
- 20:46Speaker 3: doctor and he literally calls me. He was like, because
- 20:49Speaker 3: of the size of these fiboards, because of the location
- 20:52Speaker 3: of these fibroids, you need to terminate the pregnancy. And
- 20:55Speaker 3: you need to terminate this, because he was from his analysis,
- 21:00Speaker 3: the baby won't have room to grow and the firewords
- 21:04Speaker 3: could cause and even if you know, we take the
- 21:07Speaker 3: baby to term, the bleeding is going to be too excessive.
- 21:11Speaker 3: And he was like, and he called back to back,
- 21:13Speaker 3: he was like, I'm telling you you need to terminate
- 21:15Speaker 3: this and try again. Let terminate it. Let's take the
- 21:18Speaker 3: firebirds out and try again. Now, before that, how I
- 21:22Speaker 3: even knew I was pregnant. Now, from nine I started
- 21:25Speaker 3: seeing angels and all those things. So right before I
- 21:29Speaker 3: found out I was pregnant. I was in my closet.
- 21:31Speaker 3: I was getting ready for something, and this angel appears
- 21:33Speaker 3: in my closet and doesn't speak. They don't speak like
- 21:36Speaker 3: how we're talking. It's almost like spirit to spirit. And
- 21:40Speaker 3: I just had this knowing that I'm pregnant, and I
- 21:43Speaker 3: was like, and I run downstairs to my husband. I
- 21:45Speaker 3: was like, Babe, I think we're pregnant. So when the
- 21:48Speaker 3: doctor is telling me this, and then I used to
- 21:50Speaker 3: see my daughter in dreams a lot, and I'm like, God,
- 21:54Speaker 3: you will not go through all of this just so
- 21:56Speaker 3: that I have to terminate this pregnancy. But I also
- 21:59Speaker 3: believe that there are some things we experience in life
- 22:02Speaker 3: that reminds us that we are not doing life by
- 22:04Speaker 3: our own intelligence, because that's to be self dependent. But
- 22:08Speaker 3: I'm doing life with God. So there are things I'm
- 22:10Speaker 3: going to experience in life that only God can see
- 22:13Speaker 3: me through it, and he designed it to be that way.
- 22:16Speaker 3: And so I remember like I'm stealing a lot of pain,
- 22:19Speaker 3: and I just like I'm praying and calling out to God.
- 22:22Speaker 3: And that night I have a dream and the Lord
- 22:24Speaker 3: comes to me and says, do are two key things?
- 22:27Speaker 3: He says, no harm is going to come to your child.
- 22:29Speaker 3: And he hands me a Bible, and when I woke up,
- 22:32Speaker 3: I knew that the Bible was represented stand on my word.
- 22:36Speaker 3: So then I started opening scriptures. I spoke about healing
- 22:39Speaker 3: and I'm like, okay, God, no harm will come to her,
- 22:41Speaker 3: and this is what your word says about healing. And
- 22:44Speaker 3: so I got another obgyn because I'm like, God has
- 22:46Speaker 3: shown me like no harm is going to come to
- 22:48Speaker 3: this child. And the other obgyn she was like, you know,
- 22:51Speaker 3: I'm going to be optimistic, but I'm going to tell
- 22:54Speaker 3: you there is a scare and a concern. So we
- 22:56Speaker 3: need to get a specialist doctor, you know, involved, and
- 22:59Speaker 3: we need to work watch this carefully. All of a sudden,
- 23:02Speaker 3: everything that was a concern started being reversed. So initially
- 23:07Speaker 3: they're like, we don't have that. You're gonna have room
- 23:08Speaker 3: for this baby the girl. The doctor is like, oh,
- 23:10Speaker 3: you got room for two. You know. There were things
- 23:14Speaker 3: about what the location of the fibers. The fibers said
- 23:16Speaker 3: that moving on their own. They stead of calling my
- 23:18Speaker 3: daughter a soccer player, they're like she's just kicking them
- 23:20Speaker 3: up and down. Everything that they said, God turned it around,
- 23:25Speaker 3: you know. But the keithing is getting that word from God.
- 23:28Speaker 3: And I believe that's why in the business of our lives,
- 23:31Speaker 3: God still finds that place when we're sleeping to speak
- 23:34Speaker 3: to us and show us, like, I know, everything in
- 23:36Speaker 3: your world is telling you this is not going to work.
- 23:39Speaker 3: But I'm showing you that I'm with you.
- 23:40Speaker 5: You talk about it in the book about how the Bible,
- 23:43Speaker 5: the Bible, and science talk about the benefits of getting.
- 23:48Speaker 6: I never heard that from the Bible.
- 23:49Speaker 3: Yeah, because biblically, you know, we are body, soul, and spirit.
- 23:53Speaker 3: And I think so many times, even in like Christianity,
- 23:56Speaker 3: we only focus on like, you know, the things we
- 23:58Speaker 3: got to do, like the spirit realm, the soul realm.
- 24:01Speaker 3: But there is like your body and in other force,
- 24:04Speaker 3: you have to be a good steward over your body,
- 24:06Speaker 3: you know, you have to. There are things that even
- 24:09Speaker 3: as believers, is just as important and eat eating well
- 24:12Speaker 3: just as important as working out, because the body is
- 24:15Speaker 3: the vehicle. It's the thing that carries your spirit. There's
- 24:18Speaker 3: a thing that embodies your soul. So if your body
- 24:20Speaker 3: is not healthy, that's not good stewardship, you know. So
- 24:24Speaker 3: when you're able to get proper rest and it's there's
- 24:27Speaker 3: such a connection between you know, science and even you know,
- 24:31Speaker 3: our spirituality because from a scientific standpoint, when you don't
- 24:35Speaker 3: have enough rest, you have brain fog. That that affects
- 24:38Speaker 3: your ability to even remember your dreams because when you
- 24:42Speaker 3: wake up and you come out of this place where
- 24:44Speaker 3: you had an encounter or X, Y and Z, your
- 24:47Speaker 3: body needs to be healthy enough to process what was
- 24:50Speaker 3: just deposited. And so if you're not getting enough rest,
- 24:53Speaker 3: it's very similar to you know, a computer, like if
- 24:56Speaker 3: you only allow your computer to die every single time,
- 25:00Speaker 3: it causes memory loss over time. Same thing. If you
- 25:04Speaker 3: only go to bed when you feel like shut down,
- 25:07Speaker 3: like your ex completely exhausted and you just crash, it's
- 25:11Speaker 3: harder for you to remember your dreams because that also
- 25:14Speaker 3: affects memory loss, you know, when you're waking up from
- 25:17Speaker 3: those moments. And so being a good steward is looking
- 25:20Speaker 3: at every part. Even the Bible talks about, you know,
- 25:23Speaker 3: when the Lord this talks about you prospering you know
- 25:26Speaker 3: in all things right, not just in your spirit, but
- 25:29Speaker 3: in your soul, in your body. So there's a scripture
- 25:32Speaker 3: that talks about bring your whole body, your whole soul,
- 25:35Speaker 3: and your whole spirit blameless before God, so he's after
- 25:39Speaker 3: everything that be a good steward because it all connects.
- 25:42Speaker 7: There's a part of your book where you talk about
- 25:45Speaker 7: part two, like I guess it's part three of part
- 25:48Speaker 7: I mean part four of part two. The source of
- 25:51Speaker 7: your dreams are there bad sources of dreams where it's
- 25:54Speaker 7: like this dream comes from this, you should not try
- 25:56Speaker 7: to interpret it and leave.
- 25:57Speaker 3: It there, no absolutely, And the key thing sometimes you
- 26:01Speaker 3: may not even know exactly where the dream came from,
- 26:03Speaker 3: because there's some things that people call nightmares and they're
- 26:06Speaker 3: really warning dreams. So when you that's why, like I go,
- 26:09Speaker 3: I have this whole process of like you know, step
- 26:11Speaker 3: by step when it comes to interpreting, and there's a
- 26:13Speaker 3: part where by that time you might be able to
- 26:16Speaker 3: discern like did this come from God? Did this come
- 26:18Speaker 3: from the enemy. But in the beginning, I always tell
- 26:20Speaker 3: people write every dream down because on surface level you
- 26:24Speaker 3: may never see it right until you get into the
- 26:27Speaker 3: weeds of it. But a dream can literally come from Satan,
- 26:30Speaker 3: and how that happens is based on what you agree with.
- 26:33Speaker 3: You know, the Bible talks about how can two people
- 26:35Speaker 3: walk together except they be agreed and we don't find out,
- 26:39Speaker 3: we don't recognize the times where we are opening ourselves
- 26:43Speaker 3: up to agreement with things that come from a demonic realm.
- 26:46Speaker 3: And what that looks like is some horror movies. Even
- 26:49Speaker 3: in the industry, they will tell you there are directors
- 26:52Speaker 3: that will literally tell you that when they were writing
- 26:53Speaker 3: the script, there were real spells, real you know, real
- 26:57Speaker 3: spells and witchcraft used in the script. And so when
- 27:00Speaker 3: you're watching the movie before going to bed or in
- 27:02Speaker 3: the afternoon, you're opening yourself up to something that is
- 27:06Speaker 3: beyond entertainment. And then when you go to bed now
- 27:09Speaker 3: you start having some weird dreams and you're like, wait,
- 27:11Speaker 3: where did this come from? Like what is going on here?
- 27:14Speaker 3: Because there was an access given to that, you know,
- 27:17Speaker 3: it's the same reason why someone would just start having
- 27:19Speaker 3: like there are these weird scenarios like even when you
- 27:21Speaker 3: think of you know, families, for example, like when people
- 27:24Speaker 3: want to question, you know, things with the demonocrame when
- 27:27Speaker 3: you see some weird patterns in families. You know, every
- 27:31Speaker 3: man at this age something happened to them the moment
- 27:33Speaker 3: they hit thirty. This happened to him the moment they
- 27:35Speaker 3: hit forty. This happened to them all the way back
- 27:37Speaker 3: to their great great grandfather. But that shows you demonic
- 27:40Speaker 3: influence and how it happens for us is that there
- 27:43Speaker 3: are all kinds of things, whether it's in media, it's
- 27:46Speaker 3: in you know, the things that we're consuming, reading, watching,
- 27:49Speaker 3: listening to and we don't see that we're opening ourselves
- 27:52Speaker 3: up and then the enemy starts showing us things and
- 27:54Speaker 3: dreams that we're like, wait, how, like where's this coming from?
- 27:58Speaker 6: You know, what about djavel oh?
- 28:00Speaker 3: Deja vu? I think has been so misinterpreted. You know,
- 28:05Speaker 3: when people think deja vu, they make it seem like spooky,
- 28:08Speaker 3: and it's really not. You know, you're dealing with a
- 28:11Speaker 3: god who knew your end from your beginning. And there
- 28:14Speaker 3: are times most people have DejaVu doing the most random things.
- 28:20Speaker 3: It's like you're shopping and then you're like, I've been here,
- 28:24Speaker 3: Like what is happening? And what God is communicating to
- 28:27Speaker 3: that person oftentimes is your life may feel mundane, your
- 28:31Speaker 3: life may feel boring, you may feel like there's nothing
- 28:35Speaker 3: going on for me. But this place in your life.
- 28:38Speaker 3: I wrote it even before you were born. I knew
- 28:40Speaker 3: this moment in your life and it's an encouragement to
- 28:44Speaker 3: people to know that even though it just feels like
- 28:47Speaker 3: nothing is really happening, or I don't feel like I'm
- 28:49Speaker 3: where I'm supposed to be, God is showing you. But
- 28:53Speaker 3: this moment of your life is known by me. You're
- 28:56Speaker 3: on track, You're in the right place at the right time.
- 28:59Speaker 6: A long time ago.
- 29:00Speaker 5: Now, the power of dreams is fascinating because I do
- 29:02Speaker 5: believe that it's just it's God speaking to us. I
- 29:04Speaker 5: think it's glimpses into other dimensions. Like I've never had
- 29:08Speaker 5: somebody that I was close to past and they.
- 29:11Speaker 6: Haven't visited me in a dream at least at least once.
- 29:14Speaker 6: And some of them are more clear than others.
- 29:16Speaker 5: Right Like my grandmother came to me and told me
- 29:18Speaker 5: she saw my niece when my niece was born. Right
- 29:20Speaker 5: are my homegirl Michelle came to me and told me
- 29:24Speaker 5: thank you for something right I've had. But my homegirl
- 29:27Speaker 5: Jazz came to me in a dream. I went chasing
- 29:29Speaker 5: after her. She didn't want to be bothered. That's the
- 29:31Speaker 5: only one out of all.
- 29:32Speaker 6: Of them that confused me.
- 29:33Speaker 3: That's a good thing.
- 29:34Speaker 6: You literally didn't want to be bothered. He was like,
- 29:35Speaker 6: let me alone.
- 29:36Speaker 2: No.
- 29:36Speaker 3: But that's a great thing because again, when dreams with
- 29:40Speaker 3: people that have passed on, the things that you should
- 29:43Speaker 3: be worried about if you see in the dream is
- 29:46Speaker 3: if they're leading you somewhere, if you're chasing them and
- 29:49Speaker 3: they're kind of telling you come on, if they're driving
- 29:53Speaker 3: a car, you're in the car. Those are scared. You
- 29:55Speaker 3: should pray about that. So you chasing her and she's like,
- 29:58Speaker 3: leave me alone. It's so that because where she's going
- 30:02Speaker 3: you should not be there because you still have an
- 30:04Speaker 3: assignment on this earth. So you're chasing her. It's almost
- 30:07Speaker 3: like you're trying to like, hey, let me go with you,
- 30:09Speaker 3: and she's like no, no, no, no no. So it's
- 30:11Speaker 3: not even about her not wanting to be bothered. It's
- 30:13Speaker 3: the spirit behind that, like, yo, you should not be
- 30:16Speaker 3: wearing I'm at right now. So I think it would
- 30:18Speaker 3: be interesting if you think back on where you were
- 30:21Speaker 3: in that time of life headspace, because that could even
- 30:24Speaker 3: speak to you about why you saw that in your dream.
- 30:27Speaker 6: What about car accidents?
- 30:29Speaker 3: Car accident is something to really like pray for, just
- 30:32Speaker 3: for direction in your life.
- 30:34Speaker 6: If you're a passenger, you know I'm driving, but.
- 30:36Speaker 3: You were a passenger then, like it depends on you
- 30:40Speaker 3: were in a bus. Okay, explain the dream. Let's do
- 30:42Speaker 3: a dissection.
- 30:43Speaker 6: I was I was just in a bus, and I
- 30:47Speaker 6: don't remember.
- 30:48Speaker 5: For some reason, I feel like I remember the person
- 30:51Speaker 5: being intoxicated that was driving a bus. I don't know
- 30:53Speaker 5: why that was a thing. Yeah, and I was on
- 30:56Speaker 5: a bus and then the bus went it started driving,
- 30:59Speaker 5: then it started to like fish tail and then it
- 31:01Speaker 5: flipped over.
- 31:02Speaker 3: Yeah. So when you're looking like a bus, when it's
- 31:05Speaker 3: a card, it's very lot Oftentimes it's more personal. Right
- 31:09Speaker 3: when you're looking at a bus and you're looking at
- 31:11Speaker 3: a corporate setting, and then the person who is in
- 31:14Speaker 3: leading driving the bus is not even in their right mind,
- 31:17Speaker 3: so they're intoxicated. So that could speak to several things. One,
- 31:21Speaker 3: it could speak to something that you are a part
- 31:23Speaker 3: of that It's like, it could be a corporation, it
- 31:25Speaker 3: could be something that you're connected to, something that has
- 31:28Speaker 3: a corporate sett into it. But the person who is
- 31:30Speaker 3: in charge, whether it's the CEO, whether it's you know, whoever,
- 31:34Speaker 3: is making the decisions, calling the shots. Because everything, anything, that,
- 31:38Speaker 3: everything in life has movement, right, So even the things
- 31:41Speaker 3: you're part of In the natural, it could just seem
- 31:43Speaker 3: like you're part of a company or you're doing X,
- 31:45Speaker 3: Y and Z, But all of this is speaking to
- 31:47Speaker 3: movement in your life. And so on one hand, that
- 31:50Speaker 3: could be the Lord's showing you like, hey, this, then
- 31:52Speaker 3: you're a part of the person who is the head
- 31:55Speaker 3: is not the person that should be leading this. And
- 31:57Speaker 3: if you are connected to this, when they crash, you
- 32:02Speaker 3: all are going to be affected. Right, So that's one side.
- 32:06Speaker 3: Another side of it could also be and it's just
- 32:09Speaker 3: to see where you are in life, what is really
- 32:11Speaker 3: speaking to you more right, So then you examine your
- 32:13Speaker 3: life like, hey, what am I part of? What company?
- 32:16Speaker 3: Am I a part of? What business am I involved in?
- 32:19Speaker 3: And who is who is the head? Because whenever this crashes,
- 32:23Speaker 3: I'm going to be involved. Or if you're in a
- 32:25Speaker 3: space in your life, because then it's entertainment and there
- 32:29Speaker 3: was something maybe you were going out in a few
- 32:31Speaker 3: weeks and if there was a party bus and that
- 32:32Speaker 3: could just be a sign where the Lord is like, hey,
- 32:34Speaker 3: don't be a part of that. So when you also
- 32:36Speaker 3: look at what's taking place in your wake in life,
- 32:38Speaker 3: it helps you also discern like what God could be
- 32:41Speaker 3: speaking to.
- 32:42Speaker 7: This feel like the conversation with you about dreams in
- 32:45Speaker 7: the book feels like how people go and get like, hey,
- 32:49Speaker 7: you read my palm, and but it's I know it's different.
- 32:51Speaker 7: And growing up in a church, my grandma, she don't
- 32:53Speaker 7: play that we're not allowed to do that type of stuff.
- 32:55Speaker 7: But then pastors will prophesize to you, what is why
- 32:59Speaker 7: can we do one thing or not the other?
- 33:01Speaker 3: That's a great question. So when you look at the
- 33:04Speaker 3: spiritual realm, just like in life, right, there's good, there's evil.
- 33:07Speaker 3: The spiritual realm, there's good, there's evil. So you know
- 33:11Speaker 3: when you are doing things from and evil is really
- 33:14Speaker 3: just a counterfeit of that good. So from a Christian perspective,
- 33:19Speaker 3: you know, Jesus, God speaks to us, right, and even
- 33:23Speaker 3: like prophecy. Prophecy again is that it's not even like
- 33:26Speaker 3: this weird thing is literally just accessing the mind of
- 33:29Speaker 3: God concerning the person. So it's just like if you're praying,
- 33:32Speaker 3: Let's say you're praying for envy, right, and you're like, God,
- 33:35Speaker 3: what are your thoughts about envy? And then all of
- 33:37Speaker 3: a sudden and we all have access to this. When
- 33:40Speaker 3: you have the Holy Spirit, because there's so many things
- 33:43Speaker 3: God wants to show you about people, and so it's
- 33:45Speaker 3: just like, God, what are your thoughts about envy? And
- 33:47Speaker 3: then the Holy Spirit might start showing you things about
- 33:50Speaker 3: him envy that is, get it together, that.
- 33:59Speaker 6: Is what I pray.
- 34:02Speaker 3: This is that.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Figure out like when somebody's being evil or they joking,
- 34:08Speaker 2: like because she pray for her eyelashes, right, and it's
- 34:11Speaker 2: to the point where it's like, just joke too much.
- 34:15Speaker 1: There's no baby with me, continue on, none of that.
- 34:21Speaker 5: But then.
- 34:24Speaker 3: But the beauty is it's coming from God, right, and
- 34:28Speaker 3: what comes from Him is for your good. This is
- 34:31Speaker 3: and first of all, it is the source that you
- 34:33Speaker 3: can trust because it's the source that created you. It's
- 34:36Speaker 3: a source that knows your life. It is a source
- 34:38Speaker 3: that is for you. When you go to someone reading
- 34:41Speaker 3: your palms, a terror card reader, a psychic, the source
- 34:45Speaker 3: is demonic. Now I grew up, i grew up in
- 34:47Speaker 3: Nigeria and we've seen it though I've seen it even
- 34:51Speaker 3: in from from even some family members right who are
- 34:54Speaker 3: not on the other side. But the source of that
- 34:57Speaker 3: is very demonic and the goal. So for example, but
- 35:00Speaker 3: someone goes to a psychic, the psychic can tell you
- 35:03Speaker 3: everything about your life that has been is known. What
- 35:07Speaker 3: your grandmother were when she know she got married. It's
- 35:11Speaker 3: a known information in the spiritual realm. So yes, God
- 35:15Speaker 3: can reveal that to someone, but the enemy can also
- 35:17Speaker 3: reveal that to someone as well. The enemy can tell
- 35:19Speaker 3: someone where you live, your address, how many kids you have,
- 35:23Speaker 3: what you were doing yesterday, because it's past information, it's
- 35:27Speaker 3: past knowledge. It's known now when you don't know. That's
- 35:30Speaker 3: why the Bible believer in says you shall know them
- 35:33Speaker 3: by their fruits, not by what they tell you, not
- 35:35Speaker 3: by the fact that they have knowledge about you. Because
- 35:38Speaker 3: many people can have knowledge about you, but the source
- 35:41Speaker 3: of it can either be demonic or it can be God.
- 35:44Speaker 3: But the motive is where it changes. So when you're
- 35:49Speaker 3: receiving a message that's coming from God, the motive is
- 35:52Speaker 3: for your growth. Right, Jesus will say that I have
- 35:54Speaker 3: come to give you life and life more abundantly. But
- 35:57Speaker 3: then when it comes to say and he has come
- 35:59Speaker 3: to steal and destroy. So the psychic comes, you go.
- 36:02Speaker 3: Someone goes to a psychic, the psychic tells them what
- 36:05Speaker 3: their grandfather wore when they died. They start crying. Now,
- 36:08Speaker 3: they're open. They're like, oh my gosh, how did you know?
- 36:12Speaker 3: And the psychic just keeps going, keeps going, buys their trust,
- 36:17Speaker 3: and the motive is to curse you. It may not
- 36:19Speaker 3: happen that day, but it happens over time. Then from there,
- 36:22Speaker 3: the psychic would say, oh, you're gonna have three marriages.
- 36:26Speaker 3: But what did they just do? They cursed your first marriage,
- 36:29Speaker 3: So they just spoke to you that you'll get married
- 36:31Speaker 3: the first time, but it's not gonna work out. You
- 36:33Speaker 3: get married the second time, it's not gonna work out,
- 36:35Speaker 3: and then you're gonna get married the third time. So
- 36:37Speaker 3: they just and you're in agreement with it, you're eating
- 36:39Speaker 3: it up. So you literally opened yourself up for them
- 36:44Speaker 3: to curse you. So it takes they want to get
- 36:47Speaker 3: you in and then but the spirit behind it, Satan
- 36:50Speaker 3: cannot can only take you where he's going. He cannot
- 36:53Speaker 3: give you anything else, so he can tell you all
- 36:55Speaker 3: these nice things you want to hear. But after they
- 36:58Speaker 3: buy your trust, then they start telling you things that
- 37:01Speaker 3: now you're scared. You're like, oh my gosh, you're like, no,
- 37:03Speaker 3: but X, Y and Z. But what they're doing, the
- 37:06Speaker 3: motive of that is to get you off track. It's
- 37:09Speaker 3: so that you don't know where you're like, you're not
- 37:11Speaker 3: walking in the path that God has for you. And
- 37:13Speaker 3: that's the difference question.
- 37:15Speaker 2: You know, when people do pray, it's some of the
- 37:17Speaker 2: prayers frivolous. Like for instance, like if somebody prays for
- 37:21Speaker 2: their team, right not pray to be healthy or to
- 37:23Speaker 2: be safe during the game, or pray the team wins.
- 37:26Speaker 2: Or Lauren prays for a man or Charlamagne praise to
- 37:30Speaker 2: be a little taller and pray for that.
- 37:32Speaker 4: Like how do.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Those type of prayers work when it comes to it's
- 37:35Speaker 2: one of those things where write it off or is
- 37:37Speaker 2: it one of those things to honestly to pray for
- 37:39Speaker 2: things that like I pray that the Giants win next week.
- 37:42Speaker 1: Is that's a real prayer or is it?
- 37:43Speaker 3: No? I think wherever God is so kind, you know,
- 37:47Speaker 3: just like when you have a kid. When a child
- 37:49Speaker 3: is a baby, you know, they want to get into
- 37:53Speaker 3: all kinds of things. You don't get mad about that.
- 37:55Speaker 3: There's some things they want to get into if it
- 37:57Speaker 3: doesn't really hurt them. You even help them, like let
- 38:00Speaker 3: me lift you up so you can paint the walls.
- 38:02Speaker 3: You know, as you get older, you naturally grow to
- 38:07Speaker 3: a place where you're like, I don't want to paint
- 38:09Speaker 3: the couch, Let me paint on the paper, right, the
- 38:12Speaker 3: same thing, and I'll walk with God. When you come
- 38:15Speaker 3: to know the Lord in the beginning, those beginning stages
- 38:18Speaker 3: of growing and getting to know him, they are random
- 38:20Speaker 3: things you can ask for and sometimes he would just
- 38:24Speaker 3: randomly do them, you know, And there's some things you
- 38:28Speaker 3: know liked these people at all, But it's like God
- 38:33Speaker 3: is just so kind in that way. Now, it doesn't
- 38:35Speaker 3: mean that just because you're like, man, I pray the
- 38:37Speaker 3: giants win and guys, I all get the giants gonna win.
- 38:40Speaker 3: But as you grow in God, you start to understand that.
- 38:43Speaker 3: You know, the power of prayer is when you pray
- 38:45Speaker 3: in alignment with His will. But you have to first
- 38:48Speaker 3: know his will, so that takes maturity, right. But when
- 38:51Speaker 3: you're still in that, like you know, stage of being
- 38:54Speaker 3: like a baby, they're random things you can ask and
- 38:57Speaker 3: sometimes he will do some random things just to show
- 38:59Speaker 3: you he hears you and he loves you.
- 39:02Speaker 5: How can he follow you, Stephanie, Well, look at the
- 39:04Speaker 5: first day I pick up the book.
- 39:08Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, here, I used to watch you preacher. I
- 39:12Speaker 3: love that. No, I'm on Instagram Stephanie E k I
- 39:16Speaker 3: k E And then have a YouTube channel Stephanie A
- 39:18Speaker 3: k okafor yeah TikTok Stephanie K.
- 39:22Speaker 5: Yeah you preach to Yeah Okay, okay okay.
- 39:27Speaker 4: One church, one name of the book and where people
- 39:28Speaker 4: can get it.
- 39:29Speaker 3: The Power of Your Dreams, and it's available everywhere books.
- 39:33Speaker 3: So then it has a Spanish edition coming out in November.
- 39:37Speaker 5: A guide to hearing and understanding how God speaks while
- 39:39Speaker 5: you sleep.
- 39:40Speaker 4: All right, Well, before we get about here, let's let's
- 39:42Speaker 4: close on the prayer.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, And even before we close, I just
- 39:46Speaker 3: want to share a few things because every time I
- 39:49Speaker 3: come to a place, I'm always asking the Lord just
- 39:51Speaker 3: to show me, like what he's showing about not just
- 39:53Speaker 3: the people that will listen to this, but the people
- 39:55Speaker 3: that are on here and very quickly, Charlottagne, even when
- 39:59Speaker 3: you share that story about what you saw as a teenager,
- 40:03Speaker 3: there is a protection that has always been around your life.
- 40:07Speaker 3: And this is a general everybody has got protecting them.
- 40:11Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is that what God showed me
- 40:13Speaker 3: concerning you is when you think about some of the
- 40:16Speaker 3: things that you got yourself involved in. You should not,
- 40:19Speaker 3: by any right be where you are today, and there
- 40:22Speaker 3: is a covering. There are things that God has saved
- 40:25Speaker 3: you from. There are things that God has protected you
- 40:27Speaker 3: from when you think of your physical life and also
- 40:31Speaker 3: your image, and it's because there is something very unique.
- 40:36Speaker 3: There's a very unique assignment to your life that has
- 40:39Speaker 3: to be fulfilled. And I believe that it's not things
- 40:43Speaker 3: that the way he showed me, it's almost as dope.
- 40:48Speaker 3: Because you're a very smart man. You might see it
- 40:51Speaker 3: and you'll question yourself out of it. And it would
- 40:54Speaker 3: be your kids that will tell you what it is,
- 40:58Speaker 3: and to not discount their voices when they tell you, like, hey, Dad,
- 41:02Speaker 3: I think you're supposed to do. But it's literally the
- 41:05Speaker 3: voice of God to you because there's something that God
- 41:08Speaker 3: has been preserving you for that you must do on
- 41:12Speaker 3: this earth. And what he showed me is that the
- 41:14Speaker 3: confirmation of what that is. You wouldn't you know it,
- 41:18Speaker 3: but you reject it. But your kids will be the
- 41:21Speaker 3: one that will tell you that very thing. And when
- 41:24Speaker 3: they do, and maybe they have walk in that path
- 41:28Speaker 3: because there is you're going to see so much favor
- 41:30Speaker 3: beyond what you've ever known and amen. And even when
- 41:35Speaker 3: I was praying, first of all, I love you know
- 41:37Speaker 3: how you've been on the show, and there's just such
- 41:40Speaker 3: like this journalist and maybe you I don't know if
- 41:44Speaker 3: you are okay beautiful because I'm like, oh my gosh,
- 41:47Speaker 3: like how she thinks, how.
- 41:48Speaker 7: She's which I used to help me because would be rough,
- 41:55Speaker 7: you would be on You're always so happy.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Oh thank you. But even when I saw concerning you
- 42:00Speaker 3: was how like God is going to bring you in
- 42:02Speaker 3: their rooms, whether it's like the breakfast club and different things,
- 42:05Speaker 3: but there are rooms that God is going to bring
- 42:06Speaker 3: you in. And there is such a light about you.
- 42:09Speaker 3: You're more grounding to the Word than people know you
- 42:12Speaker 3: to be. But the reason that God is opening doors
- 42:15Speaker 3: for you is because of the world that He's put
- 42:18Speaker 3: in you. And so it goes beyond what's on your resume,
- 42:21Speaker 3: It goes beyond what you have experience, and it goes
- 42:23Speaker 3: beyond the people that you know. But that to not
- 42:27Speaker 3: shy away from speaking his word, to not shy away.
- 42:31Speaker 3: There are moments I just kept seeing how the Holy
- 42:33Speaker 3: Spirit would even give you words about people like you
- 42:36Speaker 3: be around them and there's something you're sensing but it's
- 42:38Speaker 3: like should I say it? Should I not say it?
- 42:40Speaker 3: And He's like no, But that's why I brought you
- 42:43Speaker 3: in the room, so that you can say what I
- 42:45Speaker 3: put in your heart. It's beyond me just adding something
- 42:48Speaker 3: else to your resume. It's because I need your There's
- 42:52Speaker 3: an influence that sometimes we would have because of the word.
- 42:56Speaker 3: God wants to get out there. And I remember even
- 42:58Speaker 3: as I was out, God showed me this. Not you,
- 43:02Speaker 3: if anyone who knows the story, I'm not talking about
- 43:04Speaker 3: you in the way of Pharaoh, but it was literally
- 43:06Speaker 3: like Pharaoh in the times of Egypt where there was
- 43:09Speaker 3: gonna be a famine, and the person God brought the
- 43:12Speaker 3: word to was not Joseph, the person who was like
- 43:14Speaker 3: walking with the Lord, but it was Pharaoh because he
- 43:18Speaker 3: had influence over nations. He had influence to execute the
- 43:22Speaker 3: plan of God. And then Joseph was able to interpret
- 43:25Speaker 3: the dream that helped him to do that. But when
- 43:28Speaker 3: he showed me this, it was in the sense where
- 43:30Speaker 3: God will bring you to places because you have influence
- 43:33Speaker 3: in the room, you have influence with people, but it's
- 43:36Speaker 3: because of what he wants you to execute with your voice,
- 43:39Speaker 3: so to not shy away from that, and then finally
- 43:42Speaker 3: DJ envy with you. It was so beautiful because the
- 43:48Speaker 3: first thing I saw was God's love and it was
- 43:51Speaker 3: almost this thing where you not It's like you had
- 43:55Speaker 3: this wall right and it's like you used to protect yourself.
- 44:00Speaker 3: You're used to kind of like keeping people out so
- 44:03Speaker 3: you can control the narrative. But as you're doing that,
- 44:07Speaker 3: you're also keeping yourself out of the reckless love of
- 44:10Speaker 3: God and how he wants to show up for you.
- 44:13Speaker 3: And what I kept seeing was, yes, you have questions,
- 44:16Speaker 3: Yes there are things, because I saw it almost like
- 44:18Speaker 3: where you know, even when it comes to faith, Like
- 44:21Speaker 3: one of the things is like, you know, but if
- 44:23Speaker 3: this person who didn't know you dies, like what happens
- 44:26Speaker 3: to them? You know? Where you have all these questions
- 44:28Speaker 3: that are intelligent and smart questions, but to really step
- 44:33Speaker 3: into the why behind it requires surrender. And what I
- 44:38Speaker 3: just kept showing, what God kept showing me, was you
- 44:41Speaker 3: come into a deeper place of surrender in your life
- 44:44Speaker 3: and it is going to open. It literally felt like
- 44:47Speaker 3: a damn bursting out what he wants to do, because
- 44:50Speaker 3: there are many things he wants to bring you into
- 44:52Speaker 3: that you don't even know about yourself yet, but that
- 44:55Speaker 3: if you have this wall, then it's not just keeping
- 44:58Speaker 3: people out, it's keeping his voice out, kipping his word out.
- 45:02Speaker 3: But I just saw like this love of God that
- 45:04Speaker 3: is chasing after you. And it was almost like someone
- 45:08Speaker 3: just like, hey, let me in. I'm right here, and
- 45:10Speaker 3: regardless of the things you've experienced in life, their answers
- 45:14Speaker 3: that it's almost like their questions, he's not afraid to answer,
- 45:17Speaker 3: but you have to. There's a surrender that needs to
- 45:20Speaker 3: take place first. But yes, yes, yes, Heavenly Father, we
- 45:28Speaker 3: thank you for just everything you've done in this moment.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Lord God, we thank you even in talking about this book,
- 45:34Speaker 3: because it's really not about just getting a book out,
- 45:37Speaker 3: but it's really about getting people to be awakened to
- 45:40Speaker 3: knowing that you speak and you desire to speak to them,
- 45:43Speaker 3: whether they're awake or whether they're asleep. But even the
- 45:45Speaker 3: power of their dreams. Many people are ignoring their dreams
- 45:48Speaker 3: in this time, and there are world You're trying to
- 45:51Speaker 3: alert them about their warnings. You want to make them
- 45:53Speaker 3: aware of their ways. You want to prepare them, there
- 45:55Speaker 3: are ways you want to encourage them. And to Lord
- 45:58Speaker 3: that just pray that you will continue to be glorified
