Spiritual Maturity Dream

.

**Note: I woke up from this dream at about 4:00 am. Tuesday, August 26, 2025. This dream is for those who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, this message may not apply to you until you have chosen Him as Lord and Savior of your life. And decided to follow and live by the Holy Scriptures.

In this dream, I was in the hotel room I was staying in.

I saw a female child and perceived the child to be my daughter. She came into the kitchen/living room area of the room, crying, and I approached her as I was leaving the bedroom. I was curious as to why she was there. (At that time, it never occurred to me how she got in the room.) The male person with her stayed near the door, with their hand on the door handle indicting they would not be staying. I did not see the person but I knew them somehow. The person informed me that my child stunk and had a diaper on. I knew she was my child, but she was not the age of my child as I know her to be today, but much younger by 20 years or more, about 9-12 years old.  She was in tears crying and visibly very upset with her smelly embarrassing condition and she just stood there mortified and crying.  I went into mommy mode, and I put my arms around her and took her to the bathroom. On our way to the bathroom, I asked why she had a diaper on, but she could not answer me because she was crying so hard. I then told her to get out of her smelly clothes and take off the diaper. The poo in the diaper had climbed up her backside like it would do when she was a baby.  As a baby, the poo was yellow and not solid; it would cling to her butt and backside and seep out the diaper edges if we did not catch it in time.  I assumed it ran up her back because she had to sit in a car to get to me. As the child undressed to take off the diaper she asked what she should do with it, throw it in the toilet?  I replied no, it should go in the trash, or it would back up the toilet.  I then placed her in the shower and used the shower wand to wash off the poo. And I watched as the poo ran down the drain. I began to cry because she would not stop crying. I then ran her some bath water and put her in the bathtub to soak and get her clean and fresh again.  She was still crying and would not talk.  I woke up from the dream and was very disturbed by it. How could my child be this way, what happened to her? I was very upset and anguished of heart. I was very relieved to realize it was only a dream.

It was early morning, so I thought maybe the dream had been from the Lord and asked him right away what it was about and what it meant. The Lord graciously and immediately explained each element in the dream, and I knew then I needed to write this down.

The Lord gave me the meaning of the dream as follows.

The person at the door is the Holy Spirit who leads us. 

'For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14

'Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: Thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. '

Psalm 143:10

The Child: any follower of Jesus Christ

'For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. ' Romans 8:14

'We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one. ' 1 John 5:19

The Mother: represents Yeshua (Christ Jesus)). 

'For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 'Galatians 3:26

'But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: ' John 1:12

The young age is our spiritual maturity level.

'For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.' Hebrews 5:13-14

'You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.'  II Peter 3:17-18

'Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.'

I Peter 2:1-3

The crying is the repentance due to the shame and regret we have and feel after recognizing our sinful condition due to being corrected by the Lord.

'For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. ' II Corinthians 7:10

'My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord , Nor detest His correction; For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.' Proverbs 3:11-12

'“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore, do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.' Job 5:17-18

The Poo: is the sin and filth we have allowed to taint our relationship with the Lord or keep us from personal fellowship with the Father.  Each of us knows what that is if we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us closer to our Lord.

'Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. ' James 4:4

'For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.'

I John 2:16-17

'Flee from the midst of Babylon, And everyone save his life! Do not be cut off in her iniquity, For this is the time of the Lord ’s vengeance; He shall recompense her.' Jeremiah 51:6

The diaper is our immaturity level and our attempt to cover our sins, which we are aware of or unaware of (lack of knowledge, lack of knowing your God) because we have not grown up spiritually in the Lord Jesus Christ.  

'Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. ' Galatians 5:1

'that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.'  Ephesians 4:22-24

'Abstain from every form of evil.' I Thessalonians 5:22

'that ye may be blameless and innocent, children of God without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world, ' Philippians 2:15

The Mother:  represents our Lord and Savior, loving us, guiding us washing us clean by our faith in him and His Word. We already belong to him, redeemed by His blood, but we are immature. We are not maturing in our faith, and spiritual walk.

'For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ' 1 Peter 1:18

'Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. '

1 Corinthians 14:20

'But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.'

Hebrews 5:14

The Water: in the shower and in the tub is the Word of God. Once you realize you need cleaning, he will cleanse us by the washing of water by the word We need to soak in the word and be washed in the Word of God to grow. Jesus is the living word.

'For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. '  Hebrews 4:12

'that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. '

Ephesians 5:26-27

'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ' John 1:1

'Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.” The woman said to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”' John 4:10-11,14

'How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.' Psalms 119:9,105

'I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.'

Romans 12:1-2

The age and the diaper do not fit. The Lord wants us to grow up spiritually. We are carnal (lacking spiritually) because inwardly we are spiritual babies, still wallowing in our poo, (worldly filth), due to our lack of knowledge of who our Savior and God is. He desires clean and perfect children.  Clean and perfect by the washing of blood and water.

'But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.'  I John 1:7

'how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ' Hebrews 9:14

'let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. ' Hebrews 10:22

The dream indicates how we look to Jesus as we carry around the world’s filth.  What we look like inside spiritually. Spiritual cripples, spiritually enabled, smelly and sad. Easy prey for the enemy. Think about a child this age not being able to properly use the toilet, what that is like in the physical.  How distressing for that child (us), and parent (Jesus). We are saved, by faith, BUT in order to grow in that faith we must get to know our God.  

'Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?” The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.” Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” ' John 5:5-8

'Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness. Foolish ones! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also? ' Luke 11:39-40

'My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge (knowing your God), I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.' Hosea 4:6

'always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. ' II Timothy 3:7

Where to throw the diaper: the poo and the diaper represent the sin and entanglement in the world.  If we throw it in the toilet (temporary disposal) it will cause a backup and create a mess to be cleaned up later.  The diaper and the poo are wrapped and thrown in to the burning trash heap, destroyed completely through Gods refining fire. (Jesus) In the process of (diaper training), ( trials and tribulations) we begin to mature spiritually in our faith and relationship with our Savior. If we continue to return to covering up our poo(sin) with a diaper instead of cleansing and flushing (washing in the word) for purification, it will cause an ugly rash, making you raw, (blemished and unclean), and unable to produce any fruit. We then risk being cut off from the Lord.

'For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined.'  Psalms 66:10

'Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.' Isaiah 48:10

'that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, '  I Peter 1:7

'I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. ' Revelation 3:18

'“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.' John 15:5-8

This dream gives me a real-life picture of what I look like spiritually to the Lord when I refuse to put Him first in my life.  I allow the things of this world to stunt my spiritual growth and relationship with my Yeshua Ha Mashiach,  and ultimately with my Father in heaven. I separated myself to fast and pray for this very reason. I cannot continue to operate the way I have been.  Jesus is Calling! He is calling us to be set apart for his purpose and plan. We need to be his peculiar people.

'who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.' Titus 2:14

'But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; ' I Peter 2:9

This dream applies to anyone of us (those that truly follow Jesus Christ) needing to grow spiritually in the Lord. The Lord paints a clear picture of what it looks like to Him when we entangle ourselves in the things of this world and neglect our spiritual health.   So, preparing our hearts is imperative, NOW, TODAY. REPENT! GROW UP!

 Know Your God!

Note: Take all this to the Lord in your prayer-time, quiet-time for further insight, confirmation and revelation.  This may or may not apply to you.  Seek Gods face regarding all things.
