"And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.

This verse is from Joel 2:28 and I believe it can be applied to all of us.

The other morning I awoke from a dream that could only have been from God.  Let me explain.

I dreamed I was eating with some friends in a small diner.  When I went to pay for my meal, I noticed that my purse was missing.  I asked the waitress about it and she said a lady had just left with it and gave me her address.  My friends and I went to the location the waitress had given us, which was an old house that had been divided into apartments.  The building was much like the ones I grew up in.  We walked in and located her door, which was up a flight of stairs.  The stairs were dark and steep; at the top of the stairs was an antique door with chipped white paint.  We didn't knock, but walked right in.  She was standing in the middle of her kitchen, appearing shocked that I had found her.  I saw my purse on her kitchen table.  She had several family members in the kitchen with her, and toddlers and babies were on the floor.  I immediately sensed that she had pain in her heart and many needs.  I put my arms around her and started to pray, asking God to provide for this woman and her family.  Her family and my friends began to encircle us, praying out loud as well.  As we were praying, a voice like rushing waters came upon us and I knew it was the Lord.  The voice became so loud, I could no longer hear myself speak, so I just listened.  All I physically heard was the sound of the rushing waters, but I knew the Lord was saying that as I was praying for this woman's needs to be met, mine and my husband's needs were likewise being met to overflowing.

I actually woke up with the sound of the rushing waters, the Lord's voice, still in my ears, slowly fading.

Words don't do that justice.  The Lord has said it all.  All I know is that the Lord is good and greatly to be praised and I trust Him.  He WILL supply all of our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.  (See Phil. 4:19)
