How to Interpret Dreams and Visions Perry Stone

“Son, if you obey the Lord, God is going to give you this.” Then he proceeded to give me three direct instructions from the Lord that required my obedience if I was to receive the fullness of God’s blessing and minister to the world on television. At the time I did not own a television camera, did not have a studio, and knew nothing about a television ministry. When I came out from under the influence of this dream/night vision, I was fully alert and awake and recalled every detail of what I saw. I told my wife and the head of my board of directors, Richard Towe. Rick replied, “The Lord has already spoken to my spirit that you will have a major television program in the future!” This was a confirmation. When I told my father of this marvelous experience, I asked him, “Dad, who do you think the man was who was speaking to me?” He replied, “That’s obvious.” He continued, “First, he called you ‘son.’ I am your earthly father, but God calls all men who are believers His sons. Because this man brought you a direct message from the Lord, he was a divine messenger, or an angel of the Lord.” I said, “I always thought that if an angel appeared in a dream, he would be in a white robe, with a gold tone, and maybe with a few wings.” Dad reminded me of the angels that came to Sodom and the angel that wrestled with Jacob, who was described as: “a Man wrestled with him…” However, this “man” was actually an angel (Gen. 32:24–30). In fact, afterward, Jacob confessed that he had “seen God face to face” and lived through the experience (v. 30)!
