   It is written;   
      
   Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is   
   among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but   
   to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of   
   faith.   
      
   1 Corinthians 13:9-12 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when   
   that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done   
   away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I   
   thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For   
   now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in   
   part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.   
      
   Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in   
   my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own   
   salvation with fear and trembling.   
      
   1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear   
   what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like   
   him; for we shall see him as he is.   
      
   Moreover the Word of the Lord is;   
      
   John 8:31-32 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye   
   continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the   
   truth, and the truth shall make you free.   
      
   In dream and vision symbols and interpretation, let us apply God's truth.   
   Each of us knows The Eternal Godhead individually. I realize there are those   
   that do not yet know the Lord Jesus Christ but my point is that it's an   
   individual walk.   
      
   Last week the Lord revealed to me that dream and visions symbols and   
   interpretations are personal. That was a powerful revelation and I began to   
   understand much. In part, this is why I'm writing this sermon to you.   
      
   Let's look at this further;   
      
   1 Samuel 17:38-39 And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet   
   of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. And David   
   girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not   
   proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not   
   proved them. And David put them off him.   
      
   Now we're going to get into this story of David in more depth. First, this   
   is what the Lord Jesus Christ brought to mind about dream and visions   
   symbols/interpretations. He simply told me, when I was seeking Him about   
   interpretations, that I had other people's clothes on. Father speaks to me   
   this way, as well as He speaks to you where you can understand Him. It came   
   to me then that the reason I'd hit a wall in dream/vision   
   symbols/interpretation is because the ones that I have no longer fit as   
   well.   
      
   It is written;   
      
   Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the   
   tongue, is from the LORD.   
      
   Now God has used people to speak in my life and reveal many a thing. Yet for   
   that deeper understanding, I have to go before Him. Even those   
   interpretations and symbols that I would reflect upon still have meaning but   
   what Father is showing me now, I've got to go before Him for myself to   
   obtain the meanings of these things. Not only does this speak of growth and   
   the maturation process, but it also speaks of intimacy. Much of what the   
   Lord shows me is deeply personal.   
      
   I have to share with you when it comes to dreams and visions, most of us   
   already know the subject matter and what is being dealt us.   
      
   It is written;   
      
   James 1:19-20 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to   
   hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh not the   
   righteousness of God.   
      
   So should we use wisdom before revealing dreams and visions to others.   
      
   It is written;   
      
   Genesis 37:5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and   
   they hated him yet the more.   
      
   Genesis 37:8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us?   
   or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more   
   for his dreams, and for his words.   
      
   Only when the Lord tells you to do something, should be do it.   
      
   Does this mean that someone else's dreams and visions symbols and   
   interpretations are wrong? No, this simply means that is what their own   
   personal faith has allowed them to see for you. Keep in mind that the Lord   
   of Glory can, will and DOES use anyone to speak into who ever's life. He's   
   sovereign. Yet, what I am getting at is growth and ongoing maturity.   
      
   No one else can interpret the Holy Spirit to another person. We each have   
   our own measure of faith.   
      
   It is written;   
      
   1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit   
   of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the   
   Spirit of God.   
      
   Consider;   
      
   1 Samuel 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or   
   on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth   
   not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD   
   looketh on the heart.   
      
   Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than   
   any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and   
   spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and   
   intents of the heart.   
      
   The symbols, meanings, understanding and interpretation that you receive is   
   your personal language in which the Lord speaks to you. When you are   
   collecting and going through these, only keep those that bear witness to   
   your spirit. Deception can and will take place when we allow the heart and   
   soul to choose things for us.   
      
   It is written;   
      
   Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto   
   thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall   
   direct thy paths.   
      
   Jeremiah 33:1-3 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second   
   time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, Thus   
   saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it;   
   the LORD is his name; Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee   
   great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.   
      
   John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you   
   into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall   
   hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.   
      
   Interpretations, understanding, meaning and symbols that come from God do   
   not make one experience negativity;   
      
   Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I   
   will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek   
   and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is   
   easy, and my burden is light.   
      
   Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which   
   also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.   
      
   It is a good thing to scribe down these dreams, visions, meanings, symbols   
   and things. As you do you will be begin to see patterns emerge and the Lord
