12-03-2025 PART 3: Dreams That Guide, Lessons That Settle, and a God Who Goes Before You
Section 1
The segment opens with lively banter, humor, and a trivia question that keeps listeners engaged. Dr. Dave weaves together interactivity, fellowship, and lighthearted fun while reminding the audience of the ministry’s needs and encouraging cheerful giving. After moving through trivia, communication reminders, and gratitude for listener support, he returns to the theme of dreams. He stresses once again that dreams never hold the same authority as Scripture, yet God can use them for guidance, wisdom, encouragement, and even correction. He notes that across 47 years of walking with the Lord, he has experienced only a handful of dreams that he is convinced were from God, underscoring that such moments are rare and not dependent on personal effort or spiritual performance. What matters most is that dreams must always align with the Word of God and be held with humility.
Section 2
Dr. Dave then shares one of the most impactful dream-related experiences of his life—one that directly influenced his ongoing ministry. Years before a painful spiritual crisis, he had a vivid dream of driving down a snowy road with a church on the left. He didn’t understand it at the time and soon forgot about it. After escaping a harmful church situation and struggling with confusion, frustration, and deep disappointment, he found himself driving down a mountain road in Colorado. Suddenly the Holy Spirit’s presence filled the car, and he recognized the road from that old dream. Moments later, he reached the exact church he had seen years earlier. That recognition softened his heart and opened him to receive ministry from Pastor David Hunsworth, who compassionately expressed God’s love, leading Dr. Dave to finally break and heal. He emphasizes that without that dream, he may not have remained in ministry, because the dream showed him God was ahead of him, preparing his steps long before he knew he needed help.
Section 3
The teaching closes by reinforcing that God communicates in many ways—not just through dreams, but through Scripture, prayer, creation, circumstances, and answered prayer. Every communication from God is a miracle and an expression of His love for His people. Dr. Dave reminds listeners that while dreams can be prophetic, comforting, or instructive, many dreams are simply the mind working through clutter and require no spiritual analysis. The key is discernment, humility, and grounding every experience in the Word of God. He encourages believers to recognize God’s faithfulness even when His methods or timing differ from expectations. Whether through dreams, direction, delays, or unexpected blessings, God's communication serves one purpose: to draw His children closer, strengthen their trust, and remind them that He is always present, always working, and always leading them forward in love.
