Have you ever woken up from a dream and wondered, Was that from God?

Many Christians experience vivid dreams but do not know how to interpret them. Some dreams feel peaceful. Others feel confusing or intense. Some stay with you all day.

The Bible shows that God speaks through dreams. But how do you know if your dream is from God, from your own mind, or from something spiritual?

Matt Johnson, Ali McFarlane, and Susanne Van Capelleveen explore Christian dream interpretation and how to encounter Jesus through your dream life.

Does God Speak Through Dreams?

Yes, Scripture gives many examples.

• Joseph interpreted dreams in Genesis.
• Daniel received prophetic dreams.
• Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was warned in dreams.
• Acts 2 says people will dream dreams in the last days.

God still speaks today. Dreams are one way He communicates when our minds are quiet.

The First Question to Ask

When you wake up from a dream, ask: Is this dream for me, or is it prophetic?

Start with prayer before trying to interpret.

How to Discern the Source

Dreams usually come from three places:

• From God These align with Scripture and draw you closer to Jesus.
• From Your Soul Your mind may be processing events, fear, or emotion.
• From the Enemy If a dream brings fear or heaviness, pray and take authority in Jesus’ name.

You can say, “In Jesus’ name, nothing from darkness is allowed in my sleep.”

How to Remember Dreams

If you struggle to remember dreams:

• Stay still when you wake up.
• Ask God to bring it back.
• Record a voice memo and describe it out loud.

Often understanding begins as you speak.

Do Not Start With Dream Dictionaries

Christian dream interpretation is personal. Symbols can mean different things to different people.

Instead of searching online first, ask: “Jesus, what does this mean for me?”

What If You Feel Emotionally Numb?

Sometimes the struggle is not confusing dreams but feeling nothing at all.

Emotional numbness can follow pain or trauma. When sadness shuts down, joy often shuts down too.

A simple prayer can help: “Lord Jesus, bring my emotions back online.”

Dreams can be one way God restores hope and connection.

Matt shares his journey through profound hardship and how encounter with Jesus became the turning point that forged spiritual authority. This episode goes deep into:

• What it means to be an overcomer in the hard seasons
• How the Father’s strength becomes your stability
• Why deliverance authority often comes through the fire of suffering
• The power of agreement — and how to break agreement with demonic assignments
• Taking thoughts captive and choosing life in spiritual warfare

You’ll also hear about Matt’s prophetic leadership, his journey into deliverance ministry, and why his presence carries a weight of strength in the room.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Matt Johnson is joined by Jonah Wilson and Karyn Stuart for a raw conversation about loving well in grief and leading through a hard season.

We talk honestly about what happens when loss hits, when you still have responsibility, and when you’re trying to hold others while you’re also grieving. Jonah shares why dependency on Jesus is not optional, how prophetic “foreshadowing” can prepare the heart, and why leaders must release the burden of the saviour complex.

Karyn brings wisdom about discipleship, vulnerability, and what it means to let yourself be seen without “leaking” on the people you lead. And the episode closes with prayer and a clear reminder for anyone in grief:

Lay your hands on your heart and remember: you are loved by the Father.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Louise Reid is joined by Ali McFarlane to sit down with Karyn Stuart (GPA prophet) on the life message she carries: the rest of God.

Karyn unpacks what it looks like to live from an abiding place of stability and authority, where chaos stays external and peace becomes your atmosphere. This is not a conversation about avoiding hard seasons. It is about learning to make every effort to enter rest and staying there, anchored in the unshakable nature of the Father.

You’ll hear practical tools for remaining calm, including:

• “Is this urgent or emergent?”
• “It’s not a heart in the cooler.”
• Why God is never panicked, and what changes when you look to Him first
• How rest becomes a governing presence that brings order into rooms and relationships

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Louise Reid takes the hot seat and is joined by Ali McFarlane (GPA Worship leader) and Jonah Wilson for a powerful conversation about a prophet’s “life message.”

Ali shares what she carries in the spirit: childlike freedom that breaks religious heaviness, a doorway into encounter, and a breaker anointing that refuses to let shame keep God’s people bound. She also opens up about her raw story of redemption, including the loss of her father at 19, the season she walked away from God, and the moment Jesus redeemed the darkest parts of her story into salvation and future.

You’ll hear:

• Why miracles get blocked when we only worship one “portion” of Jesus
• How Ali writes worship that becomes a doorway to encounter (“Eyes Like Fire”)
• The difference between transparency and vulnerability
• How God turns pain, shame, and ashes into beauty and authority

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Louise Reid and Anna McRobert for a rich conversation about intimacy with God, learning to hear Him clearly, and living with the volume set correctly.

Emma shares a hard-won practice for turbulent seasons: turn down the noise of circumstances and turn up the certainty of His voice. Louise opens a simple but profound question she’s been asking the Lord: “Who are You to me today?” and how that re-centres everything. Anna tells her story of moving from a more traditional faith framework into spiritual sight and confident hearing, including the moment she first heard God’s voice as a teenager.

This episode is full of practical prompts you can use immediately:

• “Who are You to me today?”
• “Where is Your hand today?”
• “I give You everything, and I give You everyone.”

Emma Stark is joined by prophets Amanda Atkinson and Karyn Stuart for a raw, honest, and deeply prophetic conversation about one question: What would you be gutted if you didn’t see happen this year?

From blessing the land to receive people as they move and transition, to learning how to settle into the joy of your current assignment, this episode carries a clear message: 2026 is not promised to be easy, but it can be deeply well-lived.

Together, Emma, Amanda, and Karyn unpack:

• why the Church must recover depth of relationship
• how to find joy in obedience, not just endurance
• what it means to be faithful in the middle
• why returning to the same issue can be faithfulness, not failure
• how Nehemiah models processing grief and courage over months, not moments
• why togetherness is how we survive wars, tumults, and cultural upheaval

With stories of transition, healing, corporate grief, and everyday acts of love, this episode is a call to build the kind of community where people are known, held, and strengthened.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Emma Stark is joined by Jonah Wilson and Matt Johnson for a hilarious, honest, and weighty end-of-year conversation that turns sharply into a prophetic call: the Church has a leadership problem, and it’s rooted in a lack of journeying with people.

Together they unpack what it means to follow Jesus and lead others at the same time. From Peter’s messy, Spirit-led learning curve to modern leaders who raise people up too quickly without real parenting and accountability, this episode challenges listeners to move from past-to-present thinking into present-to-future leadership.

You’ll hear why:

• Leadership requires releasing others, not gathering crowds
• “bigger buildings” can be the wrong dream
• Some endings must be expedited to step into new mantles
• Healthy ministry needs boundaries (“good fences make good neighbours”)
• Every leader needs wells, not constant drains
• We all need people beside us, and someone to pull up

If you’ve been faithful in the pew, the Bible study, or the background, consider this your push: it’s time to lead something, journey with someone, and build a company of leaders for what’s ahead.
