I am so thankful for YOU: All 101,166 of you beautiful followers on Facebook. Glory Waves Ministries Facebook page has just reached a huge milestone and I wanted you to share in our celebration! It is truly an honor to now have over 100,000 of you dreamers and visionaries following the ministry online.
What would you do if you had been struggling with excruciating pain and no one could figure out why? You’d seen pastors and counselors and been prayed for. You’d seen doctors and specialists and been tested. All the results kept coming back normal, but you could no longer even go to work because of the debilitating pain in your body?
Well, if you’re Brian McLaughlin, you would tell your doctor you believed God was going to give her a dream in the night, and then she would know what to do!
Many times we receive messages from God through our dreams, but we don’t recognize or understand them. Scripture reveals that God speaks over and over again while we sleep, we just aren’t aware of it (Job 33:14-18). For example, often if a dream feels dark, we automatically dismiss it. If we are being chased in our dream or if we are somehow under attack or feel threatened, we assume the dream is just our own fears manifesting at best, or the enemy influencing us at worst.
Have you ever wanted a sneak peek inside the members-only forum of our Hearing God Through Your Dreams module? We have lots of amazing dreamers and budding interpreters in our group and I’ve asked permission from one of them to share her exceptional dream work with you.
Just because a dream is frightening doesn’t mean it’s not from God. When the Lord established His covenant with Abram, the Bible says that as deep sleep came upon the patriarch, “terror and great darkness fell upon him” as well (Gen. 15:12). Likewise, when Jacob awoke from his dream of the heavenly ladder, he, too, was afraid (Gen. 28:17).
The Holy Spirit releases creativity within all of us all the time. Most often it will be in the area we are asking Him about. Many brilliant inventions came this way, as have wonderful solutions to problems, and beautiful music and artistry. Below Linda Burton shares one example of such creativity. May it inspire us all to seek the Spirit for His constant creative flow out through our lives.

Back in January some friends at church mentioned the Coronavirus. I don’t usually watch the news and hadn’t heard of Covid-19, so I was only half-joking when I asked, “Do you need to drink beer to get that?”
Fast forward two months and we are all now keenly aware of exactly what that word means. While it is easy to look at the natural realm and feel anxious, God calls us to set our mind on the spirit realm instead (Rom. 8:6). We’re not to focus on the news and what is seen in this physical world, but instead we are to seek the things above and look at what is unseen (Col. 3:1-3; 2 Cor. 4:18).
We have just returned from our ministry trip to New Zealand and God did so much during our time there. Leo and I conducted workshops on the sacred supernatural: Hearing God Through Your Dreams, Everyday Angels, and 4 Keys to Hearing God’s Voice. At every event people had incredible encounters with Jesus and the company of Heaven and learned how to receive Holy Spirit’s ministry to them even while they sleep. So exciting!
The Dream: I dreamt that I suddenly died at 7:30pm. I was in heaven with Jesus. I said, “It's not my time,” and something like, “What about my family and the others that still need to hear?” Jesus said, “You don’t want to be here yet?" I said, "No, not yet."

God HAS given you a dream to fulfill in your lifetime. He has also given you a passion and love to pursue this dream. God gives dreams to each of us. Abraham's life-long dream was that God would bless the world through his descendants (Gen. 12:1-3), and God did!
