Part 32
Dream dialogue
Job 33 vs 16
"Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction."
As Joseph lay on his bed, an angel of the Lord came with a message for him to take Mary to be his wife. I have always said messages given to Joseph were of great importance yet God always spoke to him through dreams.
Dreams are important and history has recorded stories of men who dared to acknowledge how they received inspiration through dreams. Some of these men impacted history through those revelations of the night.
The Bible says God seals instructions in our ears at night and if only you can allow yourself to remember these instructions, you could even get a cure for HIV or even cancer. There is no limitation to how much God can teach or give to men in their dreams.
Genesis 41 vs 14 to 49 speaks of how Joseph saved a whole nation from starvation and even preserved his family just by interpreting Pharaoh's dream. He not only had wisdom to interpret but the understanding to apply the interpretation as well.
DREAMS THAT CHANGED HISTORY
Dream One
Otto Loewi: Nerve Impulse Breakthrough
Otto Loewi was a German-born pharmacologist whose discovery of acetylcholine (ironically, a neurotransmitter which promotes dreaming) helped advance medical therapy. The discovery earned him a Nobel Prize 13 years later. However, he is almost as famous for the means by which he discovered it, as he is for the discovery itself.
In 1921, Loewi dreamed of an experiment that would prove once and for all that transmission of nerve impulses was chemical - not electrical. He woke up, scribbled the experiment down, and went back to sleep. The next morning, he arose excited to try his experiment but was horrified to find he couldn't read his midnight ramblings. That day, he said, was the longest day of his life, as he tried but failed to recall his dream.
The following night, however, he had the same dream and upon awakening went directly to his lab to prove the Noble Prize-winning theory of chemical transmission of the nervous impulse.
Dream Two
Frederick Banting: Advances in Medicine
After his mother passed away from diabetes, Frederick Banting was motivated to find a cure. Eventually he found the next best thing: a treatment using insulin injections which, though not a true cure, could at least significantly extend the lifespan of sufferers. The discovery won him a Nobel Prize in Medicine at just 32 years old.
Although he lacked knowledge of diabetes and clinical research, his unique knowledge of surgery combined with his assistant Charles Best's knowledge of diabetes made the ideal research team. While seeking to isolate the exact cause of diabetes, Banting had a dream in which he was instructed telling to surgically ligate (tie up) the pancreas of a diabetic dog in order to stop the flow of nourishment. He did - and discovered a disproportionate balance between sugar and insulin.
This breakthrough led to another dream that revealed how to develop insulin as a drug to treat the condition.
Banting was named Canada's first Professor of Medical Research and by 1923, he was the most famous man in the country. He received letters and gifts from hundreds of grateful diabetics from all over the world, and since then insulin has saved or transformed the lives of millions of people.
Dare to believe your dreams and desire understanding your dream could lead to the next greatest discovery by man.
God bless you.
