ADAM: That witnessed to him. Somebody sent him our book, and he was one of the first persons to endorse it and really embrace the whole thing and contact us. And we visited him in his home, he prayed for us. It was a great experience. But he really was that which really helped us, sort of the doors to open in America for us.
SID: Adrian, why are dreams so important? Because we talked before we started this show, and I said, “One of my greatest liabilities is one of my greatest assets.” Is that I am very logical, pragmatic type of person, and the dream business is too mysterious, I mean I could say, “It means this” and I could genuinely think it, but it really means something else. And so, I just kind of almost ignore it many times, I hate to say this, but I do.
ADRIAN: I think you’re not the only one in that boat. I think that many people do that, most people come to us, and they say to us, “That they had a weird dream last night.”
SID: Mm.
ADRIAN: And so—
SID: We call it in the States, “the pizza dream.” [laughs]
ADRIAN: Yes, and so, do you know both the funny thing is, the British cheese board did a study and found out that if you ate a certain amount of cheese before you went to bed, more people would actually dream. [laughs]
ADAM: [laughs]
SID: Yeah, and more people would die because cheese causes—never mind. [laughs]
ADRIAN: [laughs]
ADAM: [laughs]
ADRIAN: Well, maybe in their sleep. [laughs] you know as Jesus spoke in parables about the kingdom. dreams are a parable, a narrative which parallels something in the person’s life. And generally, that parallels the burden on their heart, or something that they’re involved in; important in their lives. It could be their health, it could be their family, it could be personally themselves. For a Christian, whether God’s on the throne or whether they’re on the throne. And so, God will address those things in a dream or a vision, but as a parallel. And as that narrative or that story is being heard, what it does is it bypasses our natural defense mechanism. And it is an impartation or an imprint of the images that are there, then gets us intrigued with that. And if we then can go deeper behind that with the Spirit of understanding, we can see what’s lodge behind the story, the surface story. Does that sort of make sense?
SID: Oh it makes sense, and as a matter of fact, we spend half of our lives sleeping, and it’s easier.
That’s what I’m hearing you say. It’s easier for God to talk to me with all my defenses down, for half of my life, and if I’m throwing it out with dirty bathwater, I’m missing a lot.
ADRIAN: That’s true, that is so true.
ADAM: Yeah.
ADRIAN: Doesn’t it say in Job 33, that God will speak to a man, once or twice through a dream or a vision, to change or to move things for him?
SID: It does say that. Now, why are you two together? Why did God knit the two of you?
ADRIAN: There is a chemistry that, Adam has a particular gift. A very powerful prophetic gift. I have a prophetic teaching gift. And so, the revelation that God has given Adam, I’m able to tie it to the Scripture. I’m very pragmatic, very heady if you like—
SID: Mm-hmm
ADRIAN: But what I would like to say to you is that you can catch this in a good way. And there is an impartation that takes place and an understanding that takes place that takes you to see things differently. Not only, it’s not only dreams and visions, but it also helps them when you’re studying Scripture. Because Scripture’s a narrative, with stories beneath the surface, and we miss so much of that; particularly in the Old Testament. And I believe that you need both old and new. The new is the window to the kingdom, but the kingdom opens with the keys, the keys of the kingdom from the Old Testament. And you need both. Scribes got to have both old and new; the end of Matthew, the parables.
SID: And most Christians just have a Bible without the Old Testament even connected to it.
ADRIAN: That’s right.
SID: Okay, hear again. My pragmatic side is coming out now. I read this book and use it the way you intended it to be. I listened to the two CDs in which you mentor us in understanding. I even read the book, “The Supernatural Man.” Give me a couple of sentences, what is this book about?
ADAM: The book is about how to walk the Jesus walked, this is a forerunner. For us, he came on planet earth to be a forerunner. God as a man and he handed the baton to us, and we can walk in that same realm as the supernatural person. Not as a natural man, but as a supernatural man, to usher the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Wherever you walk, to be a sign and a wonder, rather than having signs and wonders around you. The signs and wonders are governed through you.
