For a number of years, I’ve been noticing an odd pattern that plays out repeatedly. The pattern is one where God puts us in very similar situations repeatedly and requires us to work out the flaws we have inherited from our family lineage until we have been delivered from them completely. If you have experienced certain repeating types of unpleasant incidents and situations in your life for many years, I hope this episode will shed light on what is going on and how God is trying to set you free of negative traits in a way that might not be obvious. Along with that, I’m going to tell you about some of my dreams that highlighted one particularly ugly flaw and the deliverance I received from it over a long process of time.
A Dream Highlighting A Family Pattern
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
Job 33:16-18 (KJV)
At some point in the beginning of my wilderness training program, I had a dream that was initially hard to understand. The setting of my dream was at my grandmother’s house (mom’s side). In the dream, I was looking out the back window of the house at the driveway where the garage was. As I looked out the window, I saw 2 midgets dressed in karate uniforms walking in single file in an aggressive manner past the garage and onto the grass where my car was parked. The midgets walked around from behind the car towards the front and they were about to attack the vehicle’s front passenger side with karate weapons.
When I woke up from that dream, I was rather confused. I could not figure out what that meant. After struggling with the meaning for some time, I contacted my parent ministry by phone (JMMI) and asked for someone to help me interpret the dream. I spoke with someone who knew immediately what the dream meant. He told me that there was a generational curse from my grandmother’s side of the family that dealt with strife (arguing, etc) and that if I did not get delivered from that curse, it would stop me from reaching my personal destiny. As soon as I heard those words, I knew the interpreter hit the nail on the head.
I began to think about certain people in my grandmother’s lineage who had a very big problem with anger and hostility and how some of them became extremely bitter and nasty at the end of their lives. Many times, I heard my grandmother say that she wished her parents would have divorced because then there would have been peace in the house. She said her parents were constantly yelling and arguing with each other and it caused a horrible atmosphere with no peace in the house. At the end of my grandmother’s life, she was constantly taking medications for blood pressure and even one family friend said that it was because of her out of control anxiety.
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Ecclesiastes 7:8 (KJV)
I’m not here to point fingers and blame my ancestors but I need to speak about this because it is a perfect illustration that can benefit many people eternally. A couple years after my dream, I learned that the Bible clearly says that the root of hostility and strife (arguing) is pride. As I considered this in context of my dream, I began to realize that strife was a major problem in the family and some of that came right down the generations and landed on me. Most of the time, I was peaceful but, under the right pressures, I would snap and retaliate against people verbally. This deep rooted, inherited hostility eventually led to me grinding my teeth (very severely) at night when I slept which then resulted in several chipped teeth.
My “karate midgets” dream as I call it was God’s way of focusing me on this family generational curse so that I could be delivered from it. In the years following that dream, I have had many (countless) other dreams where the setting took place in that same grandmother’s house. Almost every single time, those dreams were a warning to me about a hostile situation coming up that I would need to respond to correctly (or simply avoid it altogether).
Only by pride cometh contention [quarrel, debate, strife]: but with the well advised is wisdom.
Proverbs 13:10 (KJV) with Strong’s Concordance definition
What I really need to emphasize here is that the root of this family pattern of hostility is pride. More specifically, certain family members have displayed a pattern of caring more about their personal opinions rather than having good relations with people. In their pride, they valued themselves and their way of seeing things more than anyone else; as a result their relationships suffered very badly. I’m not criticizing anyone here because it has been sad to watch what has happened to those certain family members. Had they known what I have been learning here, they could have corrected the problem and experienced a miraculous turnaround in their lives.
Dreams Of Victory Over A Family Curse
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek [gentleness, without disputing or resisting] and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter 3:4 (KJV) with Strong’s Concordance definition
As a result of all my dreams warning about this family curse of hostility (and the knowledge of the root cause), I have been in a process of being progressively delivered from it. In Job 33 (above), it says that God gives us dreams so that we can be separated from pride and avoid an eternal judgment in hell (“the pit”). In the last 15 years that I’ve been studying dreams, I have learned that God gives us dreams about what is wrong with us so that He can help us get free of those errors and stay out of hell. God is a God of victory and His plans for us are always good, even if the circumstances we have to endure may not be.
One of the patterns I have noticed in my life is that, in addition to dreams of character flaws and warnings about evil circumstances, God also puts us in situations to test us and deliver us from those family curses. At one point, while I was having to live in a very hostile environment, I had a surprise dream about my victory over that deep rooted family curse of hostility. The dream pointed directly to the verse (above) where Peter talks about a “meek and quiet spirit”. (Interestingly, Peter is the disciple that had a very big problem with anger, of which Jesus warned him when he cut off someone’s ear at the time Jesus was arrested… obviously Peter was eventually delivered from that.)
What was astonishing about the dream was that God showed me He had already given me a meek and quiet spirit but, if you were to ask me at the time, I had a hard time believing it. What I have learned since is that God will give you a type of heart and then put you in a situation where you are required to exercise the good qualities of it. Only by working out your character do you fully transform into the kind of person who is described by that type of heart. In my situation, I was put into an extremely hostile situation and I was expected to work out my newly acquired character trait of meekness.
Meekness is a character trait valued very highly by God and is defined in the New Testament as…
g4239, praus; which means mildness of disposition, gentleness of spirit, without disputing or resisting. In the Old Testament, the meek are those wholly relying on God rather than their own strength to defend them against injustice. Thus, meekness toward evil people means knowing God is permitting the injuries they inflict, that He is using them to purify His elect, and that He will deliver His elect in His time. (Is. 41:17, Lu. 18:1-8) Gentleness or meekness is the opposite to self-assertiveness and self-interest. It stems from trust in God’s goodness and control over the situation. The gentle person is not occupied with self at all. This is a work of the Holy Spirit, not of the human will (Gal. 5:23).
(Olive Tree Enhanced Strong’s Dictionary)
Following that first dream where God gave me a meek heart, I had another one that emphasized the same thing as a reminder. In the last couple years, there have been no shortage of evil situations that have come against me and my wife. We have had to endure verbal harassment, condescending attitudes and false accusations by people who claim to follow God but only have a bunch of dead religion. My wife has had to experience the same level of hostility (and racism) in the verbal sense that I received when I was physically attacked by a demonic self-exalted drug addict (whom God warned about many times in dreams). Along with that, we have been lied to directly to our face and gaslighted by certain person(s) who tried to stop God’s plan for our life with the space energy tech invention.
In each of these very hostile situations, my wife and I have had to develop a meek heart and avoid retaliating against these very evil people. None of this has been easy but, the more horrible situations (and people) we have had to endure, the more we have developed that character trait of meekness.
If you didn’t already know, meekness is a mandatory character trait that God requires in order to reward us with vast earthly wealth. Probably the only way we have learned to respond in a meek way is by developing a greater trust in God that He will do exactly as He says in the Bible – that He will handle the situations and the evil people who attack His chosen ones.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:5 (KJV)
This is a much bigger topic than I can fully discuss here in this single episode. Because there is much more that you need to know about why God puts us through evil situations for the purpose of our own deliverance, I strongly recommend a video teaching linked below. That video will keep you out of hell if you listen to it and strive to do all that is said.

I have learned myself from experience that God does absolutely put us in situations where we are forced to experience evil actions and attitudes aimed at us so we can develop character traits that are pleasing to Him. As with everything else I write about here, I can say that I have made much progress in these areas and yet, I am still a work in progress. Not perfect at all but, noticeably improving!
I hope this episode has shed light on circumstances in your life and helped you to see the eternal reason why God has allowed you to experience very evil treatment at times – all for your own good (as paradoxically as it may sound). Thank you again for reading this post!
