Listening to the Voice
Of Hashem (God) Rebbetzin Gavriela Frye
CHAPTER 7 -
Dreams and Visions
Throughout the Bible, there are many examples
of Hashem (God) speaking to people through
dreams and visions.
One of the most well-known instances occurs in
the book of Daniel. The Lord gave dreams to King
Nebuchadnezzar in his sleep. He then provided
Daniel with the wisdom to interpret the king’s
dreams, delivering a message that would change the
lives of both men.
Acts chapter 10 also records a great example of
a vision. Peter went up to the rooftop to pray,
and while he was praying, the Lord spoke to him
through this vision:
And he saw the sky opened up, and an object like a
great sheet descending, lowered by its four corners to
the earth, and it contained all kinds of four-
footed animals and crawling creatures of
the earth and birds of the air. A voice came to him,
(Acts 10:11-13).
Hashem (God) used this vision to teach Peter many
things. I encourage you to read more about it in the
book of Acts.
In general, dreams and visions are one of the least common
ways Hashem (God) speaks to people on a day-to-day basis.
While I often dream, I haven’t had very many dreams over the
years that I believe were specific spiritual messages from the
Lord.
On the occasions when Hashem (God) did speak to
me through a dream at night, I would either wake up
with an immediate interpretation (I would instantly
know what it meant), or the dream would stay with me
for days and I just couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Let me give you an example of a dream the Lord
gave me. It was three and half years ago, and I
remember Hashem (God) had really been dealing
with me about I was healing from. I was actually
pretty discouraged about the circumstances I was
living here in Italy.
Well, in my dream, I saw myself in the main square of
Pozzuoli shouting loud: “people of Puteoli, you have
rejected Hashem (God)’s word and you shall see the
consequences of your action. Then I saw the city of
Pozzuoli been hit by a tsunami so high that would
cover the old town. In the dark night Hashem (God)
was speaking as a powerful blowing Shofar.
I could see two pages of a huge book (it was like a
cloud) opened up and displaying all that it would have
to come in the end time on both pages as in a mirror.
I woke up and I was terrified from the sound and the
vision I saw. I immediately knew what the dream
meant!
Hashem (God) spoke to my heart again and said,
“Gavriela, move from here, there won’t be left a piece
of it that is not from me, there is nothing else you can
do here, and I am going to place you to a much bigger
level of authority. I will protect you, move!” Wow!
That got my attention!
Now, while Hashem (God) most certainly uses
dreams to speak to us, it’s also an area where people
can be easily deceived or confused. While nearly
everyone dreams at night, most of them are not
spiritual dreams. So it’s important to be careful and use
wisdom in this area. I believe if a dream is really
from the Lord, He will give us confirmation in our
hearts and help us to know. It’s also true that some
people are more gifted in the area of dreams and
visions than others. It doesn’t always necessarily
mean they are “more spiritual” although seeking
Hashem (God) plays a big role in hearing from Him,
but it’s simply the way the Lord chooses to reveal
Himself to them.

CONCLUSION
Trusting Hashem (God) Step-by-Step
An important aspect of hearing from Hashem
(God) is stepping out to do what He tells us to do.
Hashem (God) has a part (to lead, guide, and
direct us), and we have a part (to follow through
and obey what He says).
If you really want Hashem (God)’s will in your life
more than anything else, it’s going to require you to
take a chance, step out, and believe.
For a while, I really dealt with the fear of step-
ping out and making a mistake. On one occasion, I
believed the Lord was asking me to trust Him and go
forward in a certain area, but I was petrified. I kept
saying to Hashem (God), “I’m so scared, I’m so scared.
Abba, what if I’ve got this wrong? What if I miss You?”
The Lord simply answered, “Don’t worry,
Gavriela. If you miss me, I will find you.”
Trusting Hashem (God) and stepping out is a big part of
growing, maturing and enjoying what He has for us.
Our faith grows when we continue to step out, not truly
knowing what lies ahead.
“GO AND I WILL SHOW YOU”
I’ve learned from experience that Hashem (God) will
Often lead us one step at a time. He isn’t going to give
us the entire plan all at once. When we are faithful
to trust Him and take the first step, then He will
show us the next step.
I don’t think there’s any greater example than the
story of Abraham in the book of B’reishit (Genesis).
Hashem (God) instructed Abraham, saying, …Go for
yourself [for your own advantage] away from your
country, from your relatives and your father’s
house, to the land that I will show you (B’reishit
12:1 TLV).
Hashem (God) is basically telling Abraham, “Go ahead
And pack up your tent, leave your home and all of your
extended relatives, and go where I lead you. Just
trust Me; this is for your good.”
Simply put, the Lord is saying to Abraham, “Go
and I will show you.” That’s the opposite of what
we desire. We want Hashem (God) to show us before
we go.
However, the Lord wants us to take a step of faith.
When we take the first step, then He will give us the
next step. As we continue to trust Hashem (God)
step-by-step, then our confidence grows because
we realize He is leading us to a good place.
STEP INTO THE GOOD THINGS AHEAD
As I mentioned earlier, it has been a big step for me in
the past three years to prepare the ministry for a change
and move on to the next level. Hashem (God) said to
me, "This season of your life is complete, and I'm done
with you here, you need to move and be aligned with
the International Messianic Movement."
I had many friends and I was really comfortable here. I
was also afraid of taking a wrong step and making a
mistake. In the end, it took me three and half years to
finally move. Yes, things are going quite well where
we are. But Hashem (God) knows what he has in store
for us, He knows that things can go much better. He
planned to fulfill the vision he had placed in my heart
many years ago... the vision of teaching His Word to
people all over the world, in the right place. But it all
depended on my trust in Him and taking the first step.
So many people miss out on Hashem (God)’s blessings
because they’re afraid to do what He shows them
to do. They think they are “playing it safe,” but they
end up miserable because they never choose to
step out. Remember, Hashem (God) is bigger than
your mistakes. If you’re seeking Him and doing the best
you know how, if you step out in faith, believing
wholeheartedly that Hashem (God) wants you to do
something, He will honor your obedience. If you miss Him,
He’ll always be faithful to take your mistake and work it
out for your good in the end (see Romans 8:28).
Wherever you’re at in your walk with Hashem (God),
I encourage you to seek Him for His will and direc-
tion. Believe that you can hear from Him, then
boldly step out and trust Him. Because Hashem
(God) has a big, full, wonderful plan for your
future...and He desires to lead you every step of the
way.

Hearing from
Hashem (God) Begins
Right Here
The first step toward hearing from Hashem (God)
is to fully turn your life over to Yeshua (Jesus) and
develop a personal, intimate relationship with
Him. It’s the foundational element on which you can
build everything else. The moment you realize your
deep need for Hashem (God), you begin an amazing
journey into His plan for your life.
Romans 3:23 (TLV) says it this way: For all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of Hashem (God).
Knowing Yeshua (Jesus) is simply acknowledging
your need for Him, believing what He did for you
and accepting His amazing gift. It recognizes that you
can’t live this life on your own, that you’ve sinned and
are in need of a Savior. And the good news about
knowing Yeshua (Jesus), about being saved, is the
beautiful exchange that happens in that moment.
You give Him all the bad and sinful things you’ve done,
and in return, Hashem (God) gives you everything He
has for you. Whether you know it or not yet, His plan
for your life is amazing, and this is the first step on that
journey.

Yes! You Can Hear from Hashem (God).
People tell me all the time, “Gavriela, I want to learn to hear from
Hashem (God), but I just don’t know how.” I want you to know that if you have a relationship with Yeshua (Jesus Christ), you can hear and understand His voice.
The truth is, our heavenly Abba (Father) never meant for us to live without His loving counsel and direction. It’s His will for us to be led by His Ruach Hakodesh (Spirit) and live with “divine guidance” (see John 14:26). Hashem (God) has an amazing plan and purpose for our lives, and He desires to lead us every single step of the way.
In this book, I teach how to:
• Recognize the voice of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) in your
daily life
• Trust what Hashem (God) says more than your emotions
• Receive divine insight through His Torah
• Boldly ask for Hashem (God)’s help and direction
• Discover the many ways Hashem (God) speaks
So, are you in need of wisdom and direction for your life? Would you like Hashem (God)’s help with the “big” stuff, the “little” stuff, and every- thing in between? If so, divine guidance is just a prayer
away.
