Wow! It has been a whirlwind of a couple of months
for us here at Dreams. But we absolutely
love all the opportunities we get to simply love others without any agenda. You may notice a four letter word cropping up
again and again – L.O.V.E. This is the
incredible journey that God has had us on for the last few years via either
that still small voice, many, many dreams, visions and pretty much every where
we turn we can’t get away from LOVE and we truly don’t ever want to…….everything
else passes but LOVE remains constant.

9th 2013 Auckland Night Markets Pakuranga
Loving
people is what God does best and He loves to do that through us, so with around
30 people through the stall last night we saw Him pour out His love, comfort,
peace and healing power. The challenges some people are facing can seem so overwhelming and we are thankful for this
incredible opportunity to encourage and bring Gods presence into their
situations. We saw people stunned as specific details were revealed at just how
much He truly does care for every single aspect of their lives. From young
teenagers to mature adults and again every nationality that you can think of –
they are ALL his sons and daughters with whom He longs to have close
relationship and see released into the fullness of their destiny and it was
wonderful that many got to see Him truly as a loving Father for the first time
last night. Much of what they tell us is so very personal and often quite
traumatic so can’t always be publically shared. The hunger to experience God
and to truly know Him and not just about Him is increasing and there seems to
be a huge spiritual awakening happening in our little corner of the
marketplace.

23rd 2013 Outside the Walls Training
We
love seeing others really get that it is all about simply loving others in
their sphere of influence – there is no pressure, no programmes, not a formula
in sight which takes a load of pressure of those that are looking to see people
touched, transformed and released into their destinies, whether it is by
healing, spiritual insights, spiritual encounters, spiritual cleansing, dream
interpretation or a smile, a hug a word of encouragement – it doesn’t matter
just as long as they are releasing the incredible love that was freely given to
them to others everywhere. Comments from
a couple who attended both the training and the Auckland Night Markets where
they got to put everything into practice -
“Incredibly impacted
to be involved with the team from XP Erin-Andrew
Bradley, releasing Papa's Love to a hurting and broken generation. It was
absolutely priceless seeing people’s faces change as revelation broke into
their hearts. It's the aaaaaaah moments of God that leaves you speechless and
incredibly humbled that in the big scheme of things God chose us Les n I to be
alive for a time such as this. We spoke with a lot of Maori people tonight, Our
PEOPLE, HIS PEOPLE!!!!”
Please
don’t read that it is all about “us” (Andrew, Erin, Denise, Mark etc) it
soooooo isn’t but we just can’t and won’t keep this great love to ourselves –
that would be incredibly selfish – how can we not want to share this with those
who are broken, hurting emotionally, physically and spiritually and help them
to find their identity as incredibly loved sons and daughters of the Creator of
the Universe? It was so wonderful to see
around 20 people really excited about getting “Outside the Walls” and some of
them learning to become love for those that they spent time with in the stall.
If
you, your friends, your whanau, your social group, church group, whatever group
are keen to learn how to love others and find out how easy and how much fun it
really is to re-present Jesus outside of the walls – feel free to contact us at
lovelookslikeyou@xtra.co.nz – no group is too big or small!

Night Markets Pakuranga
Religion sucks – it never
brings life and freedom and lots of people got to understand the difference
between religion and having a true relationship with God with so many getting
to experience Jesus in an authentic way. Physical healings are a regular
occurrence in the Market and on Saturday we saw improvements with smashed
ankles and hamstrings. Every week we have people come in desperate for hope in
their current circumstances and they not only find this, but discover that they
also have an incredible destiny ahead of them via Dream Interpretation, Name
Readings, Spiritual Encounters and Spiritual Insights. God loves all His kids
and many have walked away, not so much because of Him, but because they have been
deeply wounded by others and what an incredible privilege it is to see them
come into a place of emotional and spiritual freedom! Seeing restoration on so
many levels is just amazing!
What does it look like
when we become love to the world around us? What happens when His kids go out
to love people without any other agendas? What happens when you put the Dreams team together with the Bethel Supernatural School of Ministry Team
Whangarei and International team……….. A Love Revolution! Love doesn’t just make
people feel better it transforms and we saw that in action at the Auckland
Night Markets in Pakuranga where so many lives were touched, transformed and
people were physically and emotionally healed by the love and power of Jesus.
Jesus IS Love and we were created to be just like Him and express that wherever
we go, and we sure had fun doing that on Saturday night. So many people
just
don’t know who they are yet and when they get to meet with His kids that do
know, it is inevitable that they will get to experience incredible goodness and
supernatural love. One young Mum came in for spiritual insights and also
received a small measure of freedom from pain of endometriosis – she came back
an hour later, all the pain had completely vanished and she was thrilled to
bits at being free for the first time in so long from pain! Loads of knees
healed, arch healed, heel healed (lol), several ex drug addicts given
encouragement by dream interpretations, spiritual insights etc. So many people
experiencing the tangible presence of God in joy peace and of course LOVE –
around 50 through the stall and countless around and outside the stall all
getting to taste the extreme love of God in some form or another. Thanks so
much BSSM team – we loved loving others with you!

13th 2013 Auckland Night Markets Pakuranga & Jacqui & George
and Papatoetoe Night Market Team (to be)
It
is always a heap of fun for the Dreams Team at the Auckland Night
Markets in Pakuranga, but even more fun when we have others that are learning
about becoming love with us! It never ceases to amaze us how accurate words of
knowledge break down barriers
and we saw this many times on Saturday night. In particular with three
individual young Maori women who God was encouraging in their vocations as well
as bringing restoration so they could move forward from broken promises into a
future that held hope and trust. Sometimes it is more fun watching the friend
sitting next to them whose mouths seem to hit the floor as they also get to
experience the incredible love of God as He very clearly reveals how much He
loves them. A spiritualist had significant decrease of pain in her joints from
head to toe and increased movement as tested on the stairs outside the stall.
Many dream Interpretations again revealed giftings and amazing opportunities
ahead for both young and old alike. One young Muslim girl received an instant
decrease from pain in her knee from a 6/10 to a 1/10 while her Dad and sister
were hugely encouraged by the Destiny Word Cards as they waited and lastly near
midnight a man we spoke to the week before hobbled in (because he needed a hip
replacement) to discover more about Jesus and danced out free from pain and
looking forward to his future! Each week it is so different as each person that
comes into the stall has different needs, but everyone that comes in always
leaves being touched by God’s love and goodness in some way or another – all
with a fresh and new perspective of who He really is!
April 19th 2013 Wise Cicada
Thought that today I may
only see one person as the first lady was with me the whole time I am usually there,
which is fine by me as I always believe that every person I get to speak with
is a divine set up by God. Then I got to
encourage another with a dream interpretation followed by a lady who came in
initially with a fairly downcast demeanor.
It felt a little like she was saying “Well what have you got for me!” By the end of her time with me, she was
smiling and had hope for her future that God would deal to the liver disease
that she had been battling. By the end
of that session it was well into the afternoon and I had packed up most of the
gear when two very young teenage girls came in and the Father’s heart was
poured out yet again as I spoke healing over them for eating disorders and
encouraged them with words of destiny for their future. Honestly, nothing compares to seeing His love
speak life into those that need a miracle.

22nd 2013 Chateau de Peninsula
Erin-Andrew
Bradley came and shared their outreach ministry with us last night at
Chateau de Peninsula - 17 in person and 2 on Skype turned up. Fantastic
learning opportunity for everyone present. Andrew & Erin have developed a
very mature, relevant and effective method of evangelising and speaking light
& life into the world via the night market scene. Wonderfully wise, humble
and talented couple. Contact them if you desire to step out & walk
alongside others already making a difference in your world.
Another opportunity to
equip and release others to “Just Do It” outside the walls and a great evening
of fun and food – thanks Paul and Simon!

27th 2013 Auckland Night Markets Pakuranga
“Coincidence
or Divine Appointments” – We will leave you to decide, but whatever you think
we found that the Auckland Night Markets in Pakuranga started humming really
early last night, with a huge influx of people very early on, so it was wonderful having George, Jacqui and Kathryn
with us to help out. We saw over 30 people – each person hoping for something
special for either their current set of circumstances or for their future. One
lady who came in with only partial hearing and walked out being able to hear
clearly was so excited that she now had the ability to be able to hear her
phone ring for the first time ever that she brought her son and husband in to
receive from God too! “Coincidence” No: 1 – A young woman came into the stall
not realising that we were the same people that she had been sending in dreams
to for around a year now through the "Dreams" website www.dreams.org.nz (She is just beginning to search for her
spiritual identity) and it was so incredibly touching to see God speak to both
her and her friend and remove obstacles that had been preventing them from
moving forward into their destinies – we ran out of tissues. “Coincidence” No:
2 A young girl and her cousin enormously encouraged on their spiritual journey
discovered that her Mother went to school with one of the team (in a different
part of New Zealand many moons ago) – small world! There are so many lonely
people out there just needing to know that they are loved and in fact not alone
and that God really is good and He loves them so very much, He will never leave
them, never abuse them physically or emotionally and never let them down. For
some we get the awesome opportunity to help them discover their created value
and to speak life into them so that they can be completely released with
confidence into their true identity. God knows just what is needed for each and
every individual that comes through the stall and He loves to pour out His
goodness and love above and beyond what we even expect…..we are so blessed and
immensely thankful to have this amazing opportunity – thank you God!
Dream
Interpretation – You may be patiently waiting for your dream to be interpreted
from the www.dreams.org.nz site. As you can see from above we have been a tad
busy ( not to mention selling our house and packing to move to a rental popped
into the equation too!) so please bear with us as we do get many dreams coming
in from all over the world and this is not our day job lol – in fact it is all
FREE!! For those of you that understand
the Ancient Hebraic texts – a Revelations
Dream School is a wonderful way of learning how to interpret your own
dreams so if you or your friends etc are keen on that just drop us a line at dreams@xtra.co.nz and we can look at coming
to do something in your neck of the woods.
A
long post this time – hope you enjoyed it and we hope that all your Dreams are
sweet!
