Dreams and Visions Part 1

In this episode of the Building Zion Podcast, Ashley shares a deeply personal story of how the Lord used dreams to guide her through multiple miscarriages and ultimately bring her son Ethan into the world.

She explores how dreams and visions are a real form of communication from the Lord when our spiritual eyes are open, the importance of understanding symbolism, the difference between the gift of dreams and the gift of interpretation, and common false beliefs that can block us from receiving this revelation.

Drawing on scripture, personal experience, and prophetic teachings, Ashley shows how dreams can refine us, reveal our personal mission, and help us become a people of one mind and one heart—prepared to build Zion before the Second Coming.
