Hi guys, happy Saturday. I wanted to jump on here and tell you about the crazy dream that I had last night.

I do not play when it comes to the dreams that God gives me. I journal them. I try to remember them. I pray into them because, so far, 10 out of 10 have come to pass. I feel like the gifts that God gives me, or any other person, are not something that we can just try to harvest on our own. They come from the Father of lights, like James says: Every good and perfect gift comes from above, from the Father of lights, where there is no shifting shadow or variation in Him.

So, let me tell you what happened. But before we do, let’s pray.

Father God in Heaven, I thank You for a new day, and I thank You for speaking to me, Father God, and making my spirit sensitive to You.

Anybody who’s watching this, take the scales off of their eyes. Take anything out of their ears. Any kind of Leviathan twisting of words, we cancel you out now in the name and blood of Jesus.

Let the right people find this video so they can steward their dreams well, because Father God, You’re constantly talking, but we’re also constantly distracted and moving in this busy world. Let us always hear from You.

Bless Your holy name, Father God. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

God gave me this dream last night. It tripped me out, and I’m going to give you some context.

In the dream, it’s myself, my best friend, and her two children. She had children when she was younger, so her children are now pretty much grown up and at the age of accountability. They’re teenagers. Then there was G. We call him G.

So, it’s the five of us.

G is standing next to me. We’re in my best friend’s house with her two kids, and we’re having a normal conversation. We live in Southern California in real life, so we get earthquakes. People are talking about earthquakes now.

We’re standing in her home when a big earthquake happens, and the entire house comes crumbling down. But there isn’t a single piece of dust or rubble on any of us.

While this is happening, I look at her and say, “That was the rapture.”

They say, “No, that was an earthquake, Brittany.”

My discernment caught it before they could, and I said, “No, guys, that was the rapture.”

She goes, “What do you mean?”

I said, “That was the rapture.”

I said it again, like they weren’t connecting the dots.

Then she said, “But I didn’t hear the trumpet sound. I didn’t hear a horn or anything.”

And I said, “Because we were talking. We were too distracted.”

Long story short, in this dream, we start to freak out. She starts screaming, “No, no, no!” because we realize at this time that we were left behind.

When the house was down to rubble, we were literally out in the environment. We had no covering over us. The entire skyline was gray. Every single house around us was in rubble. It was disastrous.

She said she’s going to step outside and go to the store to see what she can get for us in terms of an emergency kit or some kind of help.

She comes back and says, “It is mad chaos. It is like a Red Dawn experience, like a doomsday.”

There was looting outside, riots, violence, and lawlessness.

I knew that when the Holy Spirit, when the rapture, had come, the Holy Spirit had departed. I could feel this heaviness in the atmosphere even before she went out.

This is all in the dream.

Before she went out to the marketplace, if you will, I knew. I knew. I knew. I knew that something had changed.

And as I was asking God, “What was it? Why weren’t we raptured? Why weren’t we worthy?”

Because we go to church. We fast. We pray. We’re not into the things that break God’s heart—gambling, fornication, and just the list, right?

So, we think, you know, like, we should have for sure been in that rapture.

And then, across the scene in the dream, I see the word IDOLS.

For each person, God pointed out to me what the idols were.

Our daughter’s hand had an iPhone. He said that was the idol.

Our son’s hand had an iPhone. He said that was an idol.

He showed me the idol that my best friend had, and He said it was comfort and gluttony.

He showed me my idol of disobedience—wanting to do it my way and having no surrender.

And He showed me G’s idol, which was pride.

God said that He was coming back for a bride that was blameless and spotless.

Unfortunately, the way that we were living at that time, even though we called ourselves Christian, we didn’t have enough oil.

When I woke up from the dream and prayed into this, I said, “We didn’t have enough oil.”

And right away, He brought the Scripture back to me about the ten virgins. The ten virgins—five had extra oil, which is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, and the other five were not prepared. So, He closed the door on them.

And when I counted the number of people in the dream, it was five of us.

As the dream continues, God tells us we still have to go out there and preach the gospel because those are the things He called us to do. But we were too caught up in our idols.

We’re a group of five, but we’re all saved, and we know His Word pretty well.

So, I was panicked, and I was saying, “But the restrainer is gone. The Holy Spirit is gone. How do You want us to go out there and preach?”

And He said, “You will go out there like the 144,000 that have the seal of protection on them.”

But we didn’t have that. They’re a special people group.

He said, “You still have to walk into the obedience I called you to before this chaos, before this rapture. Just because the rapture was coming, I have not released you from your duty.”

And I started to feel panicked, and so did my best friend because she immediately recognized what that meant.

She said, “That means they’ll be martyred, Dom. We will be martyred.”

Because if the restrainer is gone and it’s like the Wild West out here—it’s lawlessness—and people are actually happy that the church is gone, then we preach the gospel, but where’s our protection?

And I said, “Well, martyrdom would take us straight to Heaven.”

Right? We still believe in Jesus.

So, I thought it was very interesting because, in the dream, a friend of mine that I used to work with—now I’m in a different scene of the dream—picks me up and says, “Let’s go to the mall.”

It looks like Manhattan Beach Village, if you’ve ever been to that mall.

And that mall was doomy and gloomy.

In my personhood in the dream, I could not feel joy. I didn’t have peace. I didn’t feel any of the fruits of the Spirit. It was like that had been lifted off.

I was walking around the mall like a zombie, and nothing hit me. I didn’t have the desire to shop. I was just blank and in shock about what had just happened.

And I noticed that the world around me wasn’t paying attention. They were going on as business as usual.

But I knew that the true bride had been raptured.

What was very interesting, at the very beginning of this dream, which I forgot to mention, was that there was an acquaintance of mine that I had a side view of, through my peripheral vision, if you will.

She has never been known to be a Christian, but she was raptured that day.

And I asked the Holy Spirit, “How is it that she was raptured? I’ve been walking with God for over a decade. My friend group—what’s up with this?”

And He said, “Did you not see her? Her face was on the floor with a Bible in her hand. She was prostrated on the floor, desperate for Me. She would die for Me. She would do anything. She put Me first. I was her first love and first priority, even though she’s a babe in Christ.”

And He told me, “I know everybody’s heart posture. Many of you will prophesy in My name, and you’ll try to cast out demons. You’ll do all these things and say, ‘God, what about me?’ But I’ll still say, ‘Depart from Me, you worker of iniquity.'”

We think a worker of iniquity is somebody out there just fornicating, doing the most, lying, or whatever.

But sometimes it’s that disobedience.

Sometimes it’s the way you handle His affairs.

It’s always you putting Him last.

And then, when He comes to do that rapture, will you be found blameless and spotless?

So, in this dream, back to what I was saying, we were trying to shop, but nothing was hitting. I just felt so heavy and in fear and kind of out of it.

There was no peace because the restrainer was gone.

And I found it interesting that there was this older Pakistani-looking man in my dream. He looked at me while we were at the mall and said, “Oh, if you need things, I know it’s chaotic out here. You can come to me and get them, but I need a kiss. So, I need you to step forward and give me a kiss.”

To me, in the dream, he almost represented Satan or the mark of the beast.

The times will get so desperate that you would have to give yourself over to a system, a person, or something in order to survive or whatever.

But I knew it was a trick of the enemy.

What I also found very revealing in this dream was that when the five of us realized that we still had to go out there and preach the gospel, we had no Holy Spirit protection, if you will, and martyrdom was just looming.

God did not let us go together as a group. We all separated and went out there on our own.

So, when I woke up from this dream, I continued to pray into it, and it was just so heavy.

Oh, what I prayed into—the “why” that came back—was when we left the house after it had crumbled down to the ground.

It started to rain out of nowhere.

But instead of raining water drops, it was raining square little yellow cards.

They were like marigold—a deep, bright yellow.

I woke up like, “That doesn’t make any sense.”

So, the Holy Spirit told me, “Do you remember when you’re in elementary school and you might have a teacher that says, ‘Go pull a card because you’re being disobedient’?”

Green is for go. You’re good.

Then red is the extreme color.

But what’s in the middle?

Yellow.

What does yellow represent?

Caution. A warning.

So, in this dream, instead of raindrops raining on us, it was a warning.

I called my best friend this morning and told her about the dream, and she literally burst into tears.

She said, “I feel like I need to get closer to God, but I’ve just been working so much. I get some time in with my Bible, but then I’m just gone. And I’m just working, working, working, working.”

And she goes, “I’m not out there fornicating, cussing, or doing these things.”

I said, “But what is the last thing God told you to do?”

And she said, “To let go of the stronghold of gluttony.”

She’s by no means overweight, but she just loves to eat and has centered her whole world around food.

When she’s full, she will admit that she can’t really hear from God because she gets the “itis” and wants to sleep.

And we’re laughing about it, and it seems like something so innocent. But if you’re in that state, you’re still feeding your flesh and not feeding your spirit, so to speak.

There should never be any kind of stronghold or priority that goes before God.

With me, I’ve told you guys here, and I’ve confessed it: it’s been disobedience.

I think, “Oh, I’ll do it tomorrow. I’ll get to it tomorrow. I’ll do it later.”

But God is saying, “The dispensation of grace is lifting. I rained the yellow cards on you guys because this is a warning. This is a warning.”

And so, I just wanted to tell you guys that if God has been putting even little, seemingly silly tasks on your heart—whatever it may be—and you think, “Oh, this is not a big deal,” don’t ignore it.

He gave me the Scripture today that talks about, “Your ways are not My ways.”

I believe it’s Isaiah 55:8-9, where God says that we don’t think like Him and we don’t do things like Him. His ways are higher than our ways. His ways are as high as the heavens.

We’re not God.

And so, we try to say what goes in order, what’s appropriate, what should take our time, and what is important.

But we should have a posture of surrender.

Every morning, get up and say, “Jesus, where do You want me to go? What do You want me to do? Who do You want me to talk to? Do You want me to wear this shirt? Do You want me to wear this hat? Do You want me to wear these shoes?”

I mean, we should be so close to Him that we hear every little thing that He requests of us.

So, guys, that dream spooked me because if you would have asked me the day before that dream, “Am I getting raptured?”

One hundred percent.

I just know that I am.

I’ve had a rapture dream before. This is why it’s also shaking me.

In that dream, I did get raptured.

G, who I’m mentioning, had a rapture dream before. He saw that I was raptured and that he was left behind.

I know that God is pouring out His Spirit because He says in the last days, “I will pour out My Spirit,” and people will dream dreams, get visions, prophesy, and do all these things.

We’re here now, guys.

And He also said it’ll be like the days of Noah—that people will be doing their normal thing, and then, boom, He comes back like a thief in the night.

Please do not be found without oil.

Cut off the secular music.

Cut off the Shade Room.

Cut off the drama.

Stop participating in gossip.

Stop overeating.

You don’t need another snack.

Instead of snacking, get up and clean. Go for a walk. Go walk the dog. Give the dog a bath. Go to Grandma’s house. Pick her up. Take her for a ride somewhere.

Talk to a neighbor who might be lonely.

Pray.

Ask them if they know Jesus.

Offer to buy somebody a Bible.

Get busy about the Father’s business.

Because I have this feeling that so many other people, as we see the birth pains increasing—wars and rumors of wars—Jesus is on His way back, guys.

He’s coming back sooner, I think, than we think, and a lot of people are not going to be found blameless and spotless. They’re going to be very confused because they’re so busy with this worldly stuff that they missed the harpazo, the rapturous call.

So, this warning dream spooked me, and it put me in check.

God bless you.

I ask that you continue to press into God.

He never moves, but we do.

And so, we need to go back to our first love, and we need to put Him first.

And the next thing that I’ll be on here to teach is about Haggai—H-A-G-G-A-I.

Before I was going to make this video, that is what I’ve been studying, and God told me to study that.

Because what had I been talking to you guys about?

Disobedience and putting things in order.

Well, that’s what that book is about.

And it’s so funny because our natural propensity—at least mine—is to say, “I want to study a Psalm,” or “Let’s talk about Proverbs,” or, I don’t know, Genesis, something that we’re used to—Matthew.

But Haggai?

I was like, “Wow, when’s the last time I read that?”

I’ve read the entire Bible before, but when’s the last time I read that?

And so, God is taking me through it, and I want to teach it to you.

And the meat of the message is putting God’s business first.

God is speaking. He ain’t playing.

I love you. God bless you.

God’s here for you.

If you need a Bible, comment. I got you.
