Episode Summary

Louise Reid shares a life message that many believers need right now: carry the presence of God so people get a revelation of Jesus just by being near you. She explains that connection with God often begins with a simple shift, becoming aware that Jesus is already with you. From there, she encourages believers to remember moments where they felt close to God and to “chew” on those memories, because remembrance can reawaken hunger, faith, and expectation.

Ali McFarlane adds that Louise is “shiny,” meaning her life clearly shows time spent with Jesus. They also talk about how encounter ministry can help people experience Jesus personally. Louise describes Emmanuel-style prayer as “midwifing” an encounter where Jesus does the work, and the person walks away saying, “Jesus is amazing,” not “That counselor is amazing.”

A key thread in this conversation is joy. Louise highlights the kindness of God and the humor of God, reminding listeners that the gospel is good news. They also talk about how laughter helps people connect, and how a joyful atmosphere can make hard conversations safer and more fruitful. The episode closes with a simple invitation: stop striving, start noticing, and learn to enjoy God, because we were made for relationship with Him.

Quotes from the Episode:

• “Becoming aware of His presence changes everything.”
• “Remember a time you felt close to Jesus, then talk to Him about it again.”
• “The gospel is good news. Why are we so miserable?”
• “I love helping people encounter Jesus, then they leave saying, ‘Jesus is amazing.’”

Have you ever woken up from a dream and wondered, Was that from God?

Many Christians experience vivid dreams but do not know how to interpret them. Some dreams feel peaceful. Others feel confusing or intense. Some stay with you all day.

The Bible shows that God speaks through dreams. But how do you know if your dream is from God, from your own mind, or from something spiritual?

Matt Johnson, Ali McFarlane, and Susanne Van Capelleveen explore Christian dream interpretation and how to encounter Jesus through your dream life.

Does God Speak Through Dreams?

Yes, Scripture gives many examples.

• Joseph interpreted dreams in Genesis.
• Daniel received prophetic dreams.
• Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was warned in dreams.
• Acts 2 says people will dream dreams in the last days.

God still speaks today. Dreams are one way He communicates when our minds are quiet.

The First Question to Ask

When you wake up from a dream, ask: Is this dream for me, or is it prophetic?

Start with prayer before trying to interpret.

How to Discern the Source

Dreams usually come from three places:

• From God These align with Scripture and draw you closer to Jesus.
• From Your Soul Your mind may be processing events, fear, or emotion.
• From the Enemy If a dream brings fear or heaviness, pray and take authority in Jesus’ name.

You can say, “In Jesus’ name, nothing from darkness is allowed in my sleep.”

How to Remember Dreams

If you struggle to remember dreams:

• Stay still when you wake up.
• Ask God to bring it back.
• Record a voice memo and describe it out loud.

Often understanding begins as you speak.

Do Not Start With Dream Dictionaries

Christian dream interpretation is personal. Symbols can mean different things to different people.

Instead of searching online first, ask: “Jesus, what does this mean for me?”

What If You Feel Emotionally Numb?

Sometimes the struggle is not confusing dreams but feeling nothing at all.

Emotional numbness can follow pain or trauma. When sadness shuts down, joy often shuts down too.

A simple prayer can help: “Lord Jesus, bring my emotions back online.”

Dreams can be one way God restores hope and connection.

Matt shares his journey through profound hardship and how encounter with Jesus became the turning point that forged spiritual authority. This episode goes deep into:

• What it means to be an overcomer in the hard seasons
• How the Father’s strength becomes your stability
• Why deliverance authority often comes through the fire of suffering
• The power of agreement — and how to break agreement with demonic assignments
• Taking thoughts captive and choosing life in spiritual warfare

You’ll also hear about Matt’s prophetic leadership, his journey into deliverance ministry, and why his presence carries a weight of strength in the room.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Matt Johnson is joined by Jonah Wilson and Karyn Stuart for a raw conversation about loving well in grief and leading through a hard season.

We talk honestly about what happens when loss hits, when you still have responsibility, and when you’re trying to hold others while you’re also grieving. Jonah shares why dependency on Jesus is not optional, how prophetic “foreshadowing” can prepare the heart, and why leaders must release the burden of the saviour complex.

Karyn brings wisdom about discipleship, vulnerability, and what it means to let yourself be seen without “leaking” on the people you lead. And the episode closes with prayer and a clear reminder for anyone in grief:

Lay your hands on your heart and remember: you are loved by the Father.

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Louise Reid is joined by Ali McFarlane to sit down with Karyn Stuart (GPA prophet) on the life message she carries: the rest of God.

Karyn unpacks what it looks like to live from an abiding place of stability and authority, where chaos stays external and peace becomes your atmosphere. This is not a conversation about avoiding hard seasons. It is about learning to make every effort to enter rest and staying there, anchored in the unshakable nature of the Father.

You’ll hear practical tools for remaining calm, including:

• “Is this urgent or emergent?”
• “It’s not a heart in the cooler.”
• Why God is never panicked, and what changes when you look to Him first
• How rest becomes a governing presence that brings order into rooms and relationships

In this episode of What the Prophets Say, Louise Reid takes the hot seat and is joined by Ali McFarlane (GPA Worship leader) and Jonah Wilson for a powerful conversation about a prophet’s “life message.”

Ali shares what she carries in the spirit: childlike freedom that breaks religious heaviness, a doorway into encounter, and a breaker anointing that refuses to let shame keep God’s people bound. She also opens up about her raw story of redemption, including the loss of her father at 19, the season she walked away from God, and the moment Jesus redeemed the darkest parts of her story into salvation and future.

You’ll hear:

• Why miracles get blocked when we only worship one “portion” of Jesus
• How Ali writes worship that becomes a doorway to encounter (“Eyes Like Fire”)
• The difference between transparency and vulnerability
• How God turns pain, shame, and ashes into beauty and authority
