SID: Hello, Sid Roth here with Rabbi Kirt Schneider, and this is such a fascinating subject because all of us dream, everyone dreams, and most of us think it’s the pizza, or what we were doing that night before, but according to the Bible in the last days God is going to pour out his Spirit on all flesh and we are going to have dreams and visions, but Rabbi Schneider, that was written really, to the Jewish people, the Jewish people would have these dreams and visions, and I’m so glad for the one new man, because Israel is like an olive tree, Paul says, and there are the natural branches that get these dreams and visions, but a non-Jew can be grafted right in, the wild olive tree branch, and get all those dreams and visions, give me a couple of practical bit of advise when someone has a dream, what should they do?
RABBI: Well I think people should form the discipline of waking up in the morning and as soon as they wake up Sid, they need to ask themselves what did I dream last night as they look to the Lord for an awareness of that because to disregard our dreams is to disregard the voice of God, let me say that again, to disregard our dreams is to disregard the voice of God. One of the most common vehicles as I said on the previous session is that God will speak to us through dreams. So we need to wake up in the morning and instead of just getting a cup of coffee, brushing our teeth, hopping in the car and flying off to work, we need to set off our alarm fifteen minutes earlier, settle and say Lord, what did I dram last night, what did you reveal to me last night, and then begin to write, and don’t try to interpret it as you are writing, just write exactly what you dreamed. And as you do that what is going to happen is God is going to help you recall what you dreamed. Now there is no question about it, a lot of what we dreamed we will never recall, and some people can recall their dreams easier than others.
SID: Now I have read in a lot of these books a car means your job and the various, it’s like symbols, they mean different things, what do you think about that?
RABBI: I don’t think that you can take a symbol and say that it means the same thing to every person because we are all unique, and God may use a symbol in a dream that is relevant for one thing in your life, and that same symbol may carry a different meaning in my life, I believe that the same person that gave us the dream will give us the interpretation of the dream, and I think it is very dangerous to read a book and say well if you had a dream and the color red was in it that means war, you know because the color red can mean other things as well.
SID: Now in your Messianic Jewish congregation you got some very specific supernatural guidance in a dream, it might have been a disaster if you hadn’t, tell me about that.
RABBI: That’s absolutely true, we were planning on purchasing a building Sid, actually had signed a contract to purchase the building, and about a week after I signed the contract I had a dream one night, in the dream I was just a casual observer of a man that was buying a health food store, and he was buying this health food store on this really old street, old houses, he was the only commercial business on the street, and in addition to that his business in this health food store was on the second floor of this building, he had to walk up these narrow steps to get there, and as I observed him doing this, I knew he was going to fail because he was opening up his health food store in a terrible location. I got up the next morning, I said what did I dream last night, I literally forced myself to write it down because I thought that means nothing, what do I know about them, nothing. But I forced myself because I was in the discipline of writing down my dreams to begin to write. And as soon as I began to write Sid, all of a sudden it began to occur to me, you know Kirt, you are in the health business, and all of a sudden God gave me revelation, you know what, he was opening up his health food store in the same geographical type of scenario that I was in contract to purchase this building, our building was the only commercial building on the street, it was a very narrow street, very old neighborhood, and immediately I called my leadership together, I said I feel the Lord has spoken to me, I don’t feel this is the answer for us, we need to start looking around, and God supernaturally came through at the midnight hour, and a pastor called me up and said don’t buy that building, he said I want you to take over my building right here, we are now meeting in a building that was offered to us by a pastor, my congregation has doubled, and it would have never happened if I would have purchased that building I was in contract for, because we were already too full to fit anybody else in there, we would have been five years before we would have been able to build in the back which was what the plan was.
SID: You even are getting very specific advice to counsel members of your congregation, give me an example.
RABBI: One of the most awesome experiences, Sid, I’ve had in my ministry was a dream I had about a woman in my congregation, beautiful sweet woman, just the joy of God, the presence of God is on her, and I had a dream one night that she was in this basement, it was dark down there and she was canning, just canning food, I walked down into the basement, I felt something very evil down there, I didn’t see her doing anything evil, I just felt an evil presence, I said to her, I’m going to make up a fictitious name now, MaryAnn, I said, come on, in the dream, let’s get out of here, there is something down here that is going to destroy you, let’s get out of here. She wouldn’t come, two, three times I said we need to get out of here, she wouldn’t come. I had no idea what it meant because I wasn’t aware of any sin in her life, I wrote the dream down and forgot about it. Several months later, must have been a half year later roughly, her husband comes to me and says listen, I’m not going to be able to go any farther in my ministry with you until I settle a problem that I’m having in my marriage. I said well what’s the problem. He says well my wife, she just won’t be intimate with me, and I said is she willing to talk, he said let me see, so he says yes, so we bring them in, we begin to counsel, and I said to her, MaryAnn this is not right, I said this is not Biblical, this is not spiritual, this is not healthy, and I began to tell her why. And each time I told her why it was wrong, she would make an excuse, and finally I realized, the dream came to me, it was like in the dream I said come on we need to get out of here, it didn’t seem like, in her own mind she wasn’t doing anything wrong by not being intimate with her husband, just like canning didn’t seem like there was anything wrong in the dream, I said you know what MaryAnn, I had a dream about you about six months ago and now I know what it means, I shared it with her, Sid, she was delivered in an instant from that, her husband and her have the best relationship they have ever had in their life and it had been like this for a year now. What counselors could not do, they had been to counselors for years about these problems, God did it in an instant by giving me revelation in a dream and making her problem, exposing it for what it was to her.
SID: It was beyond that Kirt, here is what I believe took place, when you shared that God cared enough about her to give you a dream about her, I believe that that actually was a supernatural anointing that took the shackles off of her, that’s what I believe occurred.
RABBI: Absolutely.
SID: Tell me one other brief dream.
RABBI: Another man in our congregation, to show that this is for everybody, upon all flesh the Lord says I will pour forth my spirit for Yeshua, for everyone that has received him, a man in our congregation, a former Jehovah Witness, left the Jehovah Witness, started attending our congregation, he was taught as a Jehovah Witness that he shouldn’t receive communion, that the only people according SID: Which is a miniature Passover Seder, that’s what communion is, the Last Supper, but go ahead.
RABBI: absolutely, and he was talking that unless you specifically heard from God, that you are one of the select, the 144,000, that’s going to heaven rather than the recreated earth, I mean it’s a long story, then you shouldn’t receive communion. He didn’t have the confidence to receive communion, he didn’t feel he had heard from the Lord, one of these select few that was going to heaven. So I would serve communion and every time he wasn’t taking it, and he just said I’m stuck in this thing. One night he had a dream, and in the dream he saw Jesus, Yeshua, moving through our congregation offering to each person what they needed, to one he would just give a hug and give his love to, to another he would heal their body, then he came up to this member of our congregation in his dream, and served him communion, he was set free, and he has been receiving communion and God’s forgiveness and love through that Sid, ever since, and I could go on and on and on and on.
SID: But this series here, when people listen to this CD what feedback do you get on this teaching?
RABBI: Oh people as they begin, it raises their level of expectancy and faith, they begin to pay attention and they begin to find God speaking to them in the night.
SID: I believe there is a supernatural presence on this for you to have dreams and visions that you understand, I had a dream recently, and as a matter of fact it happened after I listened to this series and in the dream I saw a book of my life and I could only read three words, oh were they wonderful words, the three words that I read were all the same, it was blessing, blessing, blessing. I say to you that in Messiah you didn’t get that dream, that dream was for me, but in Messiah, I say to you that if Yeshua is your Messiah and Lord, if you have repented of your sins, you’ve told God you are sorry, and you are ready to know God through Messiah Yeshua, to have Yeshua live inside of you, according to God’s promises, he wants to surround you with his love, he wants to surround you with his purpose, he wants to surround you with his shalom, he wants to surround you with blessing, blessing, and blessing, in your spirit, in your soul, and in your body, yes there is something more, blessing is Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua. Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua.
