HOW TO HANDLE DISTURBING DREAMS AND VISIONS

HOW TO HANDLE DISTURBING DREAMS AND VISIONS. Lately I’ve been getting questions from people that have had disturbing dreams and vision. I’ve had a few myself recently. Here are 6 ways to assist you when you have a disturbing dream or vision. 1. Every dream isn’t from the Spirit of God. This is something that you must continue to discern. Our subconscious and the dream world could be tied together to give us images of a hidden thought or desire in our heart. Pray about which dreams are from the Spirit of God and how God would have you to address these. 2. Don’t be so quick to share your vision and dream. Some visions may disturb you to the point where you want to talk about them right away. They will sit with you and you will wonder what they could mean. Daniel had many visions and dreams. He even said that he was disturbed by some of them to the point of exhaustion. What did Daniel do? He went to sleep. In other words he rested and let the dream/vision rest with him. Sit with it and continue to keep seeking God for understanding. 3. If the dream/vision is concerning someone or something around you start paying more attention to them or that thing. As the scripture says “watch and pray”. Notice changes or areas of challenge with things or people around you that could be in alignment with your dream. 4. Remember some things are not to be told and timing is everything. You can’t tell everything to everyone. You also can’t share some details because they are not meant to be told, but fulfilled. Some things God shares with you are concerning the future so you can manage the present. Allow the picture to play out and if you feel released to share your vision or dream pray for the proper timing. 5. Write it down. Everything in your vision or dream has symbolic significance. Write as much of the dream down and get with your spiritual leader to assist you with interpretation. 6. Never be afraid. Some dreams will give you understanding of the “dark world.” Remember the Devil is defeated and if he attempts to manifest himself to you in your dreams it is only because you are equipped to do battle against him. Never be intimidated. Speak faith and the blood of Jesus against him. Let me know how I can pray for you and keep the faith. Join our September Focus Group. www.jonathanrichardson.org/propheticfocus

OVERCOMING THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS

6 WAYS TO OVERCOME THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS , DEATH, & DEPRESSION. Join our August Prophet Focus Group on the link www.jonathanrichardson.org/propheticfocus The Spirits of Heaviness, Death, and Depression are three Spirits Satan uses to rob us of our true self. These Spirits make us want to no longer live and also leave extreme heaviness in our souls. The Spirits of Heaviness, Death, and Depression seek to drain us of life and push us to a place where we no longer have joy or desire to live. These Spirits suck the life and joy out of us. Although we may look fine from day to day and can function with these Spirits. They linger in our souls waiting for the moment to attack. Here are 6 ways to Overcome the Spirits of Heaviness, Death, and Depression. ▪️Fast. Don’t Eat until it leaves. Fast if you don’t eat until another 3 days. Sounds extreme but extreme cases cause for extreme actions. Fasting is for the soul. As you fast this Spirit will lift from you because your fasting floods your soul ( the place of your mind, will, and emotions) with the Spirit of God. Fasting gives your soul relief from the weight your feel. ▪️Rebuke the Root. There is always a root cause to the Spirits of Heaviness, Death, and Depression. Deep rooted issues usually have this lingering spirit. If you have experienced abuse, hatred, molestation, miscarriage, murder, abandonment, divorce, abortion, ridicule, etc. the fruit of these things are they can create a vacuum in your soul and can leave room for evil Spirits to intrude that make you want to die or consistently have no joy. Rebuke the root cause. Find the source and deal with it from a Spiritual place. ▪️Forgive. The fruit of forgiveness is not just healing but advancement. As difficult as it may be you are stuck until you forgive. ▪️Seek Apostolic Covering & Deliverance. Everyone is not equipped to cover you during demonic opposition. Jesus empowered the original Apostles to overcome the demonic. For challenges with the demonic you must sit under an apostolic anointing. ▪️Consistent Worship. Worship is the doorway to liberation in Christ. The enemy desires to keep you bound and thus desires to stop your worship. Worship DAILY. Worship like your life depends on it BECAUSE IT DOES. WORSHIP UNTIL YOU ARE FREE. ▪️Call on the name of Jesus. At the name of Jesus every knee must bow and tongue confess that he is Lord. Phil 2:10-11. At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Let me know how I can pray with you this week. #PastorJRich #RICHwords www.jonathanrichardson.org/propheticfocus

8 KEYS TO PROPHETIC ACCURACY

8 KEYS TO PROPHETIC ACCURACY. Today while reading an email for someone in our Prophetic Focus Program it has been confirmed in me the accuracy of the prophetic word. I wanted to share with you some Keys To Prophetic Accuracy. Join our August focus group www.jonathanrichardson.org/propheticfocus 8 KEYS TO PROPHETIC ACCURACY. ▪️Fear God With The Gift - Remain reverent to God and know that it is only by God’s gift and grace we are able to prophesy. ▪️Sacrifice Your Life Through Consecration - Consecration will amplify your gift. Although some people are naturally inclined to the prophetic a lifestyle of consecration helps you to be more in tune with what the Spirit of God is saying. ▪️Know Your Language - Become familiar with how you hear God and how your gift works. Do you primary “see”, “hear”, or “know”? Become a student of your gift. ▪️Prayer - The Prophetic is birthed in the chamber of prayer. The more you pray the more God will reveal to you. ▪️Don’t be eager to prophesy - Avoid the pressure to “have a word.” Don’t feel like you must always prophesy. In some cases it’s better to fight the urge to prophesy because it will give you more time to discern the accuracy of your word. ▪️Know Scripture - Prophesy the Word Of God. The Word itself is prophetic. Many times the Holy Spirit will bring back the Word in to your remembrance to illustrate the prophetic word. ▪️Study everything you can on the prophetic- Read on the topic. Study people who write on various aspects of the prophetic. Your gift grows as you become more familiar with the nuances of the prophetic through study. ▪️Submit and Sow into the grace you want to receive - You will grow in the same grace as the leaders you submit to. Find the grace you want to receive from and become a spounge. Soak up their wisdom and anointing and sow into them regularly.

THE SECRET TO ANSWERED PRAYERS

The Secret To Answered Prayers - Abide In Him. I want to share a word of faith and encouragement with you. During my prayer time today I heard "Im giving you what you ask according to John 15." This is a season where I am in faith for some big things. I am expecting Jesus to do the extraordinary in my life. I wanted to share this with you because the words in John 15 apply to everyone and how we can be fruitful and see our prayers answered. These are the words of John 15: 5-8 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. These words speak about Jesus being the vine and Jesus being the place of our fruitfulness and success. The scripture states that we must be connected to Jesus, and allow Jesus to cut off the things in us that bear no fruit. Thereby, If we abide, stay, remain in Him and His words abide in us we will ask what we desire, and it will be done for us. The secret to your fruitfulness and prayers being answered begins with abiding in Him. Staying in relationship and intimate connection with Jesus is what grants you access to a new level of fruitfulness and answered prayers. Remain in Him and allow Jesus to do the extraordinary in your life. www.jonathanrichardson.org
