Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Christ with coffee on ice. I am your host,

Ali Yost. It is a joy and honor to be here with you guys. Hi. Happy Friday, everyone. How are we

feeling? Are we feeling so good? We have our coffee on ice. We do. We do. We have our coffee on

ice. We have our Christ right here. Well, yeah, here he is. But in our hearts and also, praise God. Thank you, Jesus for the Bible. So we've got our Christ. We've got our coffee on ice. We'll a-s-mar moment. That wasn't very satisfying. Okay, Ellie. Don't quit your day job, girl. Okay. I hope that everyone has been having an amazing week.

I hope that we are filled with so much hope and joy for the future. Thank you God for Jeremiah 29-11,

which says that he has plans for our lives. Right? Amen? Okay. God has plans for us. Plans to give us

hope in a future. Thank you. Not to harm us. So yeah, that's a promise from the Lord about your

life. Guys, today we're kind of talking about something fun. I like barely touched on the gifts

of the spirit a while back. And today I felt led to talk about dreams. And I'm not just saying

like the dreams, like the daydreaming that we have with God because those are important. Always dream with God and never think that any dream is too big. That's something I'm still walking through. But it's true. That's just our God is he's like, you think you can dream big and then he's like, try bigger. So dream big with God during the day. For sure. But we're going to be talking about dreaming at night, like in our sleep, dreams as we're sleeping. And we're going to talk about that specific gift that God gives us through His Holy Spirit. And it's a cool gift. And if anything, I'm just going to share, I'm going to testify to my experience with dreaming. And we may even touch on like, okay, what does it feel like to get a dream from God? What does it feel like to have

a dream kind of in our flesh or maybe even a dream that's sent by the enemy? Because I do believe that all three of those things can happen. So I'm just going to speak from a POV of Allie and what I have experienced. Now, dreaming is something I would say fairly new for me still. Obviously, my whole walk with the Lord. It hasn't been that long. But we're here. We're rocking. We're kicking it. We're sanctified. We're made new. We're in our new life. So, but dreaming hasn't been something that I have done for the entirety of my journey with the Lord, right? These things kind of take time. And so if you're a new little baby Christian, first off, welcome home. Welcome home.

Finally. Took you long enough. Just kidding. There's no condemnation in those who are in Christ, Jesus. What am I on today? Probably too much caffeine. I'm going to take another sip. Okay. What was I saying? Yeah. So if you're a baby Christian, there's no pressure to like get all these things right as you start walking with God. I have patience with yourselves if and grace, you know, obviously we are

supposed to be earnestly

and eagerly asking for the gifts. God wants us to ask.

And I don't think it's like a game that he plays.

I think he just wants to help build our confidence in coming to him knowing that he is provider,

he's Abba father, and he wants to give us

gifts, but he wants to encourage us in asking. It goes back to Matthew 7-7, I think, that says,

ask, and you will receive, seek, and you'll find knock, and the door will be open to you. So he wants

to teach us as children, as his kiddos, that there's so much power in asking. And he wants to help build

that muscle in us. And so a lot of times, sometimes, I guess sometimes God could probably just

give you a gift and, boop, you didn't even ask for that. I know that that's probably his heart, too.
