**Dreams Reveal Hell’s Blueprints** 


 **Title: When the Night Whispers: Decoding Heaven’s Midnight Strategies**  

I never paid much attention to dreams until the night Eskom plunged Akasia into darkness—again—and my restless mind plunged deeper. There I was, sweating under a mosquito net, irritated by the hum of a dying generator next door, when sleep finally dragged me under. In the dream, I stood at the intersection of Solomon and Kgosi Streets, our local spaza shop flickering like a faulty neon sign. A crowd gathered, but their faces were blurred, voices a cacophony of Zulu, Afrikaans, and Tsotsitaal. Then, a figure in white appeared, holding a lantern. “The enemy’s stealing your light,” he said, “but the blueprint to reclaim it is here.” He handed me a scroll—*Job 33:15* inked in crimson. I woke, heart racing, load shedding still raging… but the dream clung like velcro.  

Friends, your *night* is a battleground.  

### **The Divine Spy Network**  

Scripture says God uses dreams to “open the ears of men” (Job 33:16). Think of them as encrypted emails from Heaven’s intelligence agency. But not every midnight movie is a divine epic. Satan hijacks screens too—ever woken up trembling from a nightmare where you’re falling into a pit of snakes? That’s not prophecy; that’s propaganda. Cancel it with the blood of Jesus, then ask: *Does this dream align with God’s character?* If it’s fear, rebuke it. If it’s fire, fan it.  

Last week, a teenager in Soshanguve dreamt of a flooded river swallowing her school. She prayed, rallied her church, and days later, a burst municipal pipe near the same school was fixed *before* disaster—not after. Coincidence? No. *Strategic intelligence*.  

### **Hell’s Load Shedding vs. Heaven’s Grid**  

South Africa’s rolling blackouts are more than Eskom’s failures—they’re metaphors. The enemy wants to plunge your soul into darkness, disconnect you from God’s power grid. But when Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls, he held a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other (Neh 4:17). Your dreams are that sword.  

Last month, a vision haunted me: our Pretoria CBD skyscrapers crumbling, replaced by shacks. I prayed, agitated, until I realized—it wasn’t a prophecy of doom, but a call to rebuild *spiritual* foundations. Corruption, unemployment, gender-based violence—these are hell’s blueprints. But what if your dreams carry Heaven’s counter-plans? Joseph’s famine-saving strategy was birthed in a prison cell. Yours might spark in a power-outage panic.  

### **How to Decode the Data**  

1. **Journal Immediately**: Keep a notebook by your bed. That post-dream amnesia? That’s demonic interference.  

2. **Test the Fruit**: Does the dream leave you burdened or empowered? Fear is a counterfeit; peace is God’s watermark.  

3. **Cross-Check with Scripture**: Dreamt of a lion chasing you? The “lion” could be the devil (1 Peter 5:8)… or Jesus, the Lion of Judah (Rev 5:5). Context is key.  

4. **Act**: A Soweto pastor dreamt of a burning church. Instead of fearing arson, he launched a 24/7 prayer furnace. Attendance tripled.  

### **The Akasia Anointing**  

I live in Akasia—a place where taxi horns and hymns collide. Here, the spiritual warfare is as thick as the afternoon traffic on the N1. But this week, I met a gogo in her 70s who’s turned her RDP house into a dream-interpreting hub. She uses WhatsApp voice notes to pray over young people’s nightmares. “The devil wants our youth to sleep in fear,” she told me, “but God wants them to sleep in faith.”  

So, let’s get practical:  

- **Pray over your bedroom**. Anoint your windowsills with oil (it’s not witchcraft; it’s warfare).  

- **Silence digital distractions**. TikTok reels at midnight? That’s like inviting the enemy to screen his horror films.  

- **Fast before bed**. Sometimes, a greasy kota blocks more than arteries.  

### **The Mandela Effect (But Holy)**  

Nelson Mandela once said, “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” But what if your dream is the “impossible” God wants to *begin*? South Africa’s crises are real, but so is the God who split the Red Sea. Your nightmare might be Hell’s leaked memo—prayer is your counterstrike.  

Last night, I dreamt of a vineyard sprouting in the Tshwane metro’s cracked pavements. Absurd? Maybe. But today, I’m buying seeds.  

**Prayer**:  

Father, turn my midnight into a war room. Expose every demonic blueprint; amplify Heaven’s strategies. Let my sleep be a sanctuary, my dreams a dagger. Teach me to fight on my knees, so I can rise and rebuild. In Jesus’ name—the Ultimate Dreamweaver—Amen.  

**Activation**:  

Tonight, write down one recurring dream. Ask God: *What’s the true plot?* Then, share it with a trusted spiritual ally. Hell’s scared of soloists but terrified of choirs.  

*Harold Mawela is a Pretoria-based prophetic voice and author who believes your dreams are GPS coordinates for national revival. When he’s not decoding visions, he’s arguing with Eskom’s call center.*

The Firm Foundation of Faith

## The Firm Foundation of Faith **Scripture:** Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." **Thought:** Life's journey is often marked by uncertainty and challenges. This faith allows us to persevere, knowing that God is working, even when we can't see the immediate results. It empowers us to step forward with courage, knowing we're not alone. Embracing this understanding allows us to live with a peace that surpasses all understanding, a peace rooted in the unshakeable truth of God's love and faithfulness. **Action Plan:** Spend 15 minutes today in quiet meditation on Hebrews 11. Reflect on a specific area in your life where you need to strengthen your faith. **Prayer:** Heavenly Father, I come before You today acknowledging my need for a stronger faith. Help me to truly grasp the meaning of Hebrews 11:1, to trust in Your promises even when I cannot see the outcome. In Jesus’ name, Amen. My story  Th...

**Restoring Relationships**

Last Tuesday, during Eskom’s Stage 6 load-shedding, I sat in my dimly lit Akasia living room, staring at a WhatsApp message from my cousin Thabo. Our once-close bond had fractured over a political debate—ANC vs. EFF—that spiraled into personal jabs. His text read: *“You’ve become a coconut, bra. Black on the outside, white-washed inside.”* My reply? A venomous *“At least I’m not a populist clown.”* Pride, that sly serpent, had coiled around our tongues.   But as the generator hummed and my coffee cooled, Colossians 3:13 flickered in my mind like a candle in the dark: *“Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”* Unconditional. No asterisks. No “but he started it.” Just grace.   **II. The Theology of Broken Pipes**   South Africa knows fractures. Our Vaal River, choked by sewage and neglect, mirrors relational toxicity—grievances left to fester. Yet, Christ’s forgiveness isn’t a passive drip; it’s a flash flood. To “bear with one another” (Colossians 3:13) is to choo...

The Power of the Mundane

## The Power of the Mundane **Scripture:** "And not a sparrow falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows." - Matthew 10:29-31 **Thought:** We often focus on the big moments, the grand gestures, believing those are the only things that truly matter to God. But Jesus reminds us that He cares deeply for even the smallest details of our lives. The way we approach our daily tasks, the words we speak, the thoughts we harbor – all of it is important. God sees it all, and He values each detail. This understanding empowers us to see purpose in the mundane, to find meaning in the seemingly insignificant. **Action Plan:** Today, choose one small task that you typically rush through or do without much thought. As you do it, consciously pause and offer it as a prayer to God. Thank Him for the opportunity to serve Him, even in this seemingly insignificant act.  **...
