The Arrogant Under Judgment
Dream received on February 5, 2026:
The other night I was having a dream. What I didn't know was that I was having it "out loud," and it woke my wife up, who in turn hit me and woke me up, letting me know I was yelling in tongues and speaking intensely about something. What she didn't know was that in my dream I was confronting a man (who I personally didn't recognize), about an ungodly sin in his life.
For some reason I knew this man had previously treated women very disrespectfully and even abusively. I knew he was supposed to be Believer in the Lord. So, with a desire to correct him without destroying him, I said, "I have high regard for who God has called you to be, but I hate your disrespect for women!"
I could see he was moved by shame over his actions and attitude. He even tearfully repented. I was going to pray for him, but I had this thought in my heart, "I better just check his eyes out to make sure nothing is hiding."
At that moment, the man began to close his eyes, and when they were almost all the way closed, I caught a glimpse of them through the small opening of his eyelids. Immediately I spoke up, before he could close his eyes all the way, and I said, "I SEE YOU... YOU SPIRIT OF ARROGANCE."
After I said that, the man went from a completely humble, broken, and sorrowful posture, to one of incredible arrogance and pride. He was throwing his head back and to the side, mocking me and laughing. I knew I wasn't speaking to the man anymore but to a devil! So I rose up in Christ's authority and began to pray in the Spirit against it. Then, speaking in Jesus' name, I drove that spirit out with intensity as I spoke Scriptures against it, while also speaking words of prophecy over the man until, well, I was hit by my wife! And the dream ended.
You just never know what kind of adventures God might take you on during the night! It wouldn't surprise me if somewhere in the world a man was delivered from "arrogance" that night. I think it's quite possible with the Lord!
If perhaps this was just a very vivid dream, containing a prophetic message, then I am stewarding it by praying into it further. I believe there are some insights to extract from it.
One prophetic connection I can see so far from this dream is the way that a spirit of arrogance has infiltrated so much of the ministry in the Church and, consequently, has produced actions and attitudes that disrespect and abuse the Bride of Christ. (Photo via Unsplash)
Arrogance is the quality of having an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities. Maybe my words to this man in the dream were an example of how God might address those in His Church who shepherd without His heart?
On another note, is it possible this dream was addressing the need to drive out a "devil of arrogance" lurking beneath the surface that (as good and needed as they are) repentant words and sorrowful confession alone can't fully address? Maybe there is a deeper root called "ARROGANCE" operating throughout aspects of our modern-day ministry systems and structures that will keep on making a mockery of God's Spirit through disrespecting and abusing His Bride!
This dream encounter has cause me to pray with a righteous anger against the spirit of arrogance operating anywhere that would harm His Bride.
"To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate arrogant pride, evil conduct, and perverse speech." (Proverbs 8:13 BSB)
What Is Arrogance?
1. Arrogance is not self-confidence. It is self-exaltation that displaces God, expressed outwardly in behavior. It's less "I think highly of myself," and more "I act as though I answer to no one."
2. Arrogance is something you can see. Humility and arrogance are bodily realities, not abstract emotions.
3. Arrogance happens when borrowed glory is treated as owned glory. The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar is an example of this. "He said, 'Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?'" (Daniel 4:30 NIV).
4. Arrogance is a heart that has risen above its proper place—internal elevation that produces external distortion. King Uzziah is an example of this. "But when Uzziah became powerful, his arrogance led to his own destruction. He was unfaithful to the LORD his God, for he entered the temple of the LORD to burn incense on the altar of incense" (2 Chronicles 26:16 BSB).
5. Arrogance is not just a small character flaw or attitude; it's a rival throne. Herod Agrippa I is an example of this: "On the appointed day, Herod donned his royal robes, sat on his throne, and addressed the people. And they began to shout, 'This is the voice of a god, not a man!' Immediately, because Herod did not give glory to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died" (Acts 12:21–23 BSB).
6. Arrogance is living as though your position, power, or perspective places you beyond accountability, especially before God.
Severe Judgment Is Coming for Obama
Dream received on January 29, 2026:
In my dream I was viewing Barack Obama somewhere. He had a look of untouchable arrogance. He literally looked like he thought he was above the law. Then, I looked next to me and noticed Johnny Enlow was with me, seeing the same thing. Then in the dream, we both watched President Trump stand up, and it felt like a commercial in the sense that President Trump was comparing the presidency of Obama to his own. Trump spoke out loud and said, "Obama built off the backs of Americans, stealing their wealth and making a fortune for himself." Then as I watched Trump, a large golden statue of him came flying after Obama, and Trump said, "I'm going to give it all back to them and make them the wealthiest people in the world." (Photo via Wikipedia)
Then, Johnny and I watched as it seemed like a camera zoomed in on President Trump's face, and he said, "Obama, you should not have done this." When he said that, his eyes turned deathly serious and the commercial seemed to end. Johnny and I looked at each other, and we both instantly knew by revelation that severe judgment was coming for Obama.
I looked at Johnny and said, "Did you see President Trump's eyes when he said that? Those eyes contained the wrath of God, and there was a promise in that look. You can bet now that Obama's fate is sealed, and Trump is going to bring the hammer down." Johnny agreed in the dream.
I believe this dream was revealing the spirit of arrogance that has operated in and through Obama. His actions were done and decisions were made as if he was above the law, protected from any consequence, accountability, or justice from God. I also believe the golden statue of Trump flying against him was a symbol of the "gold" as something that breaks the "fed"—the criminal economy that has fueled the arrogance of evil men and women in government, etc.
"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs 16:18 BSB)
Declaration: Judgment on the IRS
Considering Trump is now suing the IRS for ten billion dollars (which doesn't come close to the actual amount they have plundered from families and generations, illegally and unconstitutionally, I might add), let's join that fight with him by going to the Judge of Heaven and earth for His righteous judgments against the IRS!
We appeal to the Lord for His judgment against this satanic money laundering scheme, which is guilty of innocent bloodshed, trafficking children, and ill-gotten gain!
I declare that the veil of concealment is coming off the operations of the IRS and the horrific ways it has contracted with the spirit of death, killing the sovereignty of the United States, channeling our energy and livelihood into nefarious and evil agendas, and betraying the American Constitution.
Let the blood of those who died in service of a free constitutional republic now speak against this wicked foe of justice! Let the blood of Jesus Christ speak a better word in this land than the blood of the innocent. Let the retribution against this Goliath begin through Donald Trump and end as we the people rise to crush this treasonous system of betrayal, once and for all! I pray that a band of destroying angels would shatter the powers of darkness that have upheld this enslavement machine in our land for so long! We call forth speedy justice now, in Jesus' name!
