Yesterday, I mentioned that night visions—which are revelations—can be as clear as daylight. Once you see it, you understand where it’s going and what it means.

When this brother shared his experience with me this morning, he couldn’t make sense of it. I went back to the revelation and realized:
Sometimes, even when God shows someone a clear revelation, they may not understand it if they are spiritually immature. Not because the revelation isn’t clear—but because they haven’t grown enough to interpret it.

This lack of understanding doesn’t harm them. They haven’t lost anything. But it does show the importance of growth in spiritual matters.

Personal Example: My Own Revelation

Let me give you an example.

When I was in College of Education, I had to choose a specialization. I liked one department, but it involved typewriting, which was difficult. Then I had a revelation—I saw a typewriter.

When I asked the Lord what it meant, He said it meant I had received a special ability to understand and pass that course. Guess what? I passed with a B, which was not easy.

The same applies to the brother’s revelation. He saw a formula—something he didn’t understand. But whether or not he can interpret it, God has already imparted the understanding into him. The grace has been released.

So, don’t be too anxious if you can’t interpret a dream or revelation. If it’s from God, it will still work in your favor.

Explanation of Revelation and Understanding

Revelations don’t always require deep interpretation. If you’re spiritually mature, you will know the meaning instantly. Like someone said, “If I had this kind of revelation, I’d understand it immediately.”

And it’s true! A dream can confuse you and even open doors to attacks. But a revelation is meant to build, not confuse.

My University Experience

When I was in university, I prayed before exams, asking God to help me remember what I read. And in the exam hall, I’d see the exact page of my handout in my mind. As I saw it, I wrote everything out—word for word.

That’s what happens when you receive revelation. You don’t just remember information—you receive divine knowledge and insight.

Teaching on Dreams and Deliverance

Now to today’s main focus—patterns in dreams and how they affect deliverance.

Let me share a story. A woman once told me her mother begged her from a river goddess. She believed she was connected to marine powers and couldn’t be delivered. But that’s deception!

God gave me an illustration to help explain:
If a woman carried a child in her womb for 9 months, can that child one day say, “I want to be delivered from her womb?” That’s impossible. It’s already a done deal.
But what the person can say is, “This woman never carried me.” That’s how deliverance works. You must deny the origin Satan claims over you—not try to break free from it.

Correcting Mindsets: Interpreting Dreams Accurately

Many believers give too much power to dreams. You dream of a river and assume you’re tied to marine spirits. But even Ezekiel saw himself by the river—and it was a revelation.

The presence of water doesn’t mean evil. It may mean life, vision, or spiritual depth.

If you dream and see a snake and then miscarry, don’t say the snake caused it. That belief gives Satan a foothold.
Instead, deny the snake’s relevance. Speak the Word of God over your life. Let Scripture be your final authority—not the dream.

Be the scriptwriter of your own destiny. Paint your future with God’s Word. Don’t let the devil write your story through fear-filled dreams.

Today, I wanted to talk about patterning and deliverance. As I was writing the February retreat outline, the Lord reminded me about deliverance and dream patterns.

We must learn to cast out demons, discern dreams, and walk in truth.

Bit by bit, my vision started to return. Gradually. Slowly. Until I began to remind myself of what I knew deep down — the path of the wicked cannot encroach on the inheritance of the righteous. It’s not possible for God to bless me with something, and then the devil comes to snatch it away. What relationship do we share? What kind of fellowship? Can light laugh or partner with darkness? That realization was my freedom.

I chose to deny the experience. I chose to reject it. I said to myself, “This never happened.” Because we walk by faith, not by sight. Our reality is defined by the word of God — not what we see, not what we feel.

When I say, “I am strong,” and someone replies, “Let’s be realistic,” I hold my ground. They might say, “If you’re sick, just say you’re sick,” but I refuse. I’ll never say I’m sick. I’ll never confess lack. When I say, “I am blessed, I have abundance,” and someone tries to shut me down, I know it’s not about avoiding conflict — it’s about holding on to truth.

Of course, especially when it’s your spouse, you must find ways to communicate clearly and with wisdom. My wife might ask, “How much is beans?” and I’ll say, “Ah, this beans…” But I know where I stand. I won’t accept lack — and to the glory of God, the things I spoke to myself in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 — they are manifesting in 2025.

What’s my point? Our reality is the Word. The Bible says, “Who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” What has God said to you? The Bible says, “I will hear what God the Lord will speak — for He will speak peace.”

So if in your dream you saw war, why wake up and start declaring war? Deny it. Say, “No. That’s not my portion. It’s not possible.” If the Word says peace, then peace it is.

My wife once saw a dream where they were preparing a theater room, and I was supposed to be the patient. She was worried. But in that same dream, I said to her, “Forget about it. It has nothing to do with us.” Another vehicle came and carried the person who was meant for that theater — not us. That’s the power of the Word.

Now listen: when you begin to give life to a dream, when you start saying, “Every time I dream this way, something bad happens…” you’re feeding a stronghold. It’s like paying a blackmailer — they’ll keep coming back. The devil brings a bad dream, and you agree with it. No!

Someone said, “Every time I have a wet dream, I fail an exam.” I say, read your books and reject the lie. It has nothing to do with your success. If any man is in Christ, he’s a new creature. Old things are passed away.

Let me share this: I had a dream — or maybe a vision — and I saw only a few people show up at our program. When I woke up, I declared, “Wow! Many people will come!” That’s my interpretation. That’s how I frame it. Another time, someone said she wouldn’t attend. I told her, “You will come. I saw it.” And guess what? She came. They all did.

You see, the devil too can show you visions. The Bible says we are not ignorant of his devices. He wants to deceive you. But me? If I see many people in a dream, I say, “Amen — many more will come.” That’s my reality.

You saw money in a dream? Wake up and say, “Something good is coming to me today!” Let your words match your expectation, because your word is law. Your world is shaped by the Lord. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

Let me stop here tonight. Tomorrow, by God’s grace, I’ll go deeper into how to handle dreams — the different categories and the best response to each. I want to break it down into a proper teaching so we can grow in understanding.
