The Lavish Lifestyle God Wants for Us
My first dream from God came on the night of 8/8/2008. In that dream, the Lord appeared to me and asked me to pray for my patients. Exactly eight years later, on 8/8/2016, my wife and I both had dreams about Donald Trump. (I’m not at liberty to share my wife’s dream, but I will share my interpretation of it after I share my dream.)
On the night we had our dreams, we listened to a speech Trump gave to Detroit business leaders earlier that day. In the speech, Trump outlined his plan to bring economic recovery to America. The take away message was that he has bold plans to erase America’s trade deficit, to create a trade surplus and bring millions of jobs back to America. After listening to the speech we went to bed.
In my dream, I saw something like a poll asking people to express their political preference. I expressed a preference for Trump. The fact that I did, now gave me access to what I can only describe as a virtual experience, which I entered into as if I were stepping into another dimension. What I observed was a community that had the best of everything. People lived in blessing and prosperity of every kind imaginable. The impression I had was almost as if we were living in heaven on earth. It was in a word—lavish.
I knew in the dream, this lavish lifestyle was only available to those who expressed a preference for Trump. Anyone who did not, would not be allowed to experience this lifestyle. Strangely enough. the message of my wife’s dream was that those who joined with Trump would experience a lavish lifestyle.
In a recent article, I wrote about how God instructs us when we have an open mind. For me, this often requires me to listen to messages like Trump’s speech with an open mind and allow God to teach me more about them. The speech was about economic recovery. The dream showed what that might look like.
When I logged on to Facebook that morning, one of the first posts I found was written by my friend Rob Coscia. This was his message:
“Lavish.”
It’s a weird word. We rarely use it, and when we do, it’s usually to describe someone’s pretentious lifestyle—someone who is extravagant, exuberant, excessive, and wasteful to the practical mind.
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1).”
Rob picked up on the very word that was illustrated in our dreams—the idea that God wants to lavish His goodness upon us.
While it’s true that this verse refers to God’s love for us, that love is expressed materially, as well as relationally. The last thought I had before going to sleep was how God promised the Israelites a land flowing with milk and honey. It was a place of material abundance. Many people today see material blessings almost as if they’re sinful, but I don’t think that’s how God sees them. The Promised Land offered the Israelites a lavish lifestyle of material abundance, if only they would receive it.
I believe the November elections will offer us a choice between two paths which lead to two different futures. One will keep us traveling the road we’re on. The other will allow us to enter into a lavish lifestyle of blessing. (I don’t believe the dream indicates that anyone who does not vote for Trump will be cursed. I do believe it means that if we, as a nation, do not elect him, we will miss out on the blessing God intends to give us.)
That seems to be His desire for us, but He always honors the preferences of those who show up at the polls and vote.

Wow! I can say there was a turning point in my income when I got in Gods face about the money messages coming out of the pulpit and I said “Lemmee hang out with Trump for awhile!” Of course that didn’t happen, but there have been some shifts.
Amen and amen. I love the way the Lord has been orchestrating this election. He spoke to me about Donald Trump when I went to vote in the Primary Election. It was an unmistakable thumbs up. The media onslaught and all those against him is so vicious beyond measure. That, to me, speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing this word. I am thankful he has a board of godly men and women to advise him and that he has been open to their counsel. And his beloved daughter is married to a Jew.
Sounds like the seventh trumpet and choosing to believe in the finished works and submitting fully to the truth rather than the man Trump IMO.
No God is not gonna curse anyone if they don’t vote Trump. I would look at it more that if Trump gets in then we’re all gonna be blessed and if we don’t well miss out. Nationally. But it doesn’t mean you still can’t have your own personal blessing. After all Gods already blessed us in Christ.
I have been feeling the same …….One of my friends has been going to fellowship with Trump many years ago ,, in New York, you know I personally have heard hes really given himself to the Lord very strongly recently and that he has been having intercessors cover him …….and the man didnt take money the longest time for it ……like it should of been all along ………….see hes doing his best to honor the Lord , I dont think he d run unless he had a conviction in his heart…………and Pence surprised me I never heard of the man . Im not a policical person by any means …………the lst thing i heard him say is he is a christian……..i havent seen that ever in my life ..per say someone outright give him honor lst …………………….why wouldnt God bless a country of a man who chooses to hear him and do his best to do what he hears in spriit ………… not all of get it all correctly ,,,but surely one who doesnt honor or try …………they couldnt possible know ………….. and one with critical eyes can only see bad not good …….cause thats the darks side of life……………….. not the light of father ……….showing …………blessings and all………….
I agree with Ryan…..there were a lot of assumptions. Powerful dream for those with a teachable spirit…
I believe those who love to see this nation back to the restoration of prosperity to support Trump in whatever way he or she can will be given special blessings only reserved for them. Those who sow in tears for this righteous election outcome will reap in abundant joy, including material blessings! Last night, while praying for Trump, Romans 8:34 and 37 kept speaking to my heart that through hardship, persecution, trouble nor danger, that Trump is more than conquerors through Christ who loves him.
May the Lord continue remove the veils of those who haven’t seen the will of God in this regard. Amazing so many choose to walk by the cliff that few steps will lead to destruction that will take a generation to repair. Thank you praying medic for taking the righteous proclamation through dreams to those who have ears to hear, God will surely reward!
What has Trump in common with Christ?
I am reminded of this Word,”Beloved,I wish above all else that you prosper and be in health ,even as your souls prosper”. What father does not want to lavish his love and blessings upon his children just looking at it from an earthly perspective. How much more would our Heavenly Father want to give us as He is the Perfect Father,He wants His own to be blessed,prospering in every area of our lives. I do believe Trump can turn our economics in this Nation around after all”It is God Who has given him the power to get wealth” to begin with! He has a plan ,he is a businessman. Beyond that he has become the voice of the people,albeit not all ,in this Nation. He came this far I truly believe we all have had enough of politicians,who are divisive,have their own agendas,representing the parties they belong too and not the people,come with certain ideologies,enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!! I believe that beneath his rough exterior,he is a Patriot and I don’t mind saying I am voting for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does Trump or Clinton seek?
Wow -your right on…trumps been bankrupt, because he doesn t pay his loans back, and hillarious isn’t so funny when her foundation accepts $$$$ to support Isis…itsall funny federal reserve $$$. Let’s give congress what’s congress and God’s to God….Jesus is no respect or of persons…
Mr. Dave,
The meaning of the name Donald: From the Gaelic name Domhnall which means “ruler of the world”.
Mr. Trump is a fierce competitor. He is a warrior in the midst of battle – being trained by the Lord. He is walking now, but he will run soon enough.
When this election is over and if he is elected, I believe we will see him set his face like flint to the task at hand of making this country great again. It was born for greatness and we should not expect nor desire anything less. I believe that he is God’s man. I see the fire in him. Pray for him to navigate these treacherous waters with the leading of the Holy Spirit and the army of heaven and earth at his side.
This election is going to affect the WORLD. Lord help us to follow your heart on this matter.
Bless you greatly, Mr. Dave
Thank you!
I agree.
Trump will definitely not be a blessing to this country. If his business deals are any indication, we would be on the fast track to economic doom. And he’s created a climate where hatred and bigotry are openly manifest. I don’t have dreams about Trump’s America; I have nightmares…
You have allowed the media to do your thinking for you. He has never promoted bigotry. People in the media say he’s a bigot because he wants to secure our borders and limit immigration from countries where Isis operates. The truth is that he wants to prevent terrorism and illegals taking jobs from citizens. And he did not get to be a billionaire by making bad deals
I reckon that Holy Spirit disagrees with you, as the dream came from Him.
Thanks for your nightmare…even the elect will be fooled…every Christian should wake up to the TRUTH of YESHUA, ABBA FATHER HIS SPIRIT…I’M tuning into the TRINITY, and I am careful with the CHURCH OF MANKIND. ..
Your brother the DEVIL feels the same way as you
The church that votes in this election will be forever called Babylon.
That makes no sense
A Saviour? No. I suggest you seek God’s heart on the matter. Mr. Trump , like David and the rest of us, is not a perfect man. David was a man after God’s own heart. Who really knows Donald Trump’s heart but his Maker?
Oh how refreshing it is to read your words, me. Thank you for speaking truth. Much love.
UGH! What crusade are you on??? So full of JUDGEMENT and self-righteous posturing … so very unpleasant to read. I mean, the bile just secretes … honestly, get some help
I agree. The Church in America has humbled themselves and prayed for God to rescue and bring us back to our foundation in Him. However, many in the Church have hardened their hearts against God’s choice for the country because they want a Pastor in the White House and not a President. But Trump reminds me of Lincoln. Lincoln was gangly and not trained in politics, but he was full of honor and integrity and had a great love for this country. He had many faults, but he was God’s chosen man at that time. If it wasn’t for Lincoln, slavery wouldn’t have been abolished for an even longer period of time. We needed a man who prayed, had great respect for Godly council, and a willingness to do the right thing in spite of the attacks he knew he would receive. Trump is also like this. He prays; he has great respect for Godly council, and he IS willing to do the Right things in spite of the attacks that he knows he will receive and has already endured. … If everyone would just pray, and stop assuming you know what God wants, God will actually tell you who to vote for.
Well said, Ms. Shari ❤
Well said shari!!!
Very well said Shari. The Bible plainly tells us NOT to lean on our own understanding yet I see a lot of that here. God knows who HE wants. Just ask HIM. To sit and try to analyze or vote based on what you SEE is leaning upon your OWN understanding. God knows more and sees more than you do.
OH MY GOD “what happens on earth is a reflection of what is going on in heaven” ???????
nuf said … go back, get your bible, get on your knees and do not move until you have a living encounter with the Most High God. I am sorry to say, but you are really, really messed up.
We can, and do “bring heaven to earth” at times and increasingly more often … the atmosphere is peaceful, joy-filled, love-filled, full of healing and colors and things too wonderful for words … there is no judgement there, no anger, no bitterness (which your comments are full of ) … hold your own words up to that mirror and see how far apart they are.
Shaking my head in sorrow for you.
Good stuff Shari
“Choosing the lesser of two evils” is man’s way of looking at things. The Lord wants us to pray and ask HIM which person to vote for. Any other way of thinking is leaning upon our own understanding, which He tells us not to do.
I will just go with what the Bible says. Heaven and earth will pass away , but my word stands foever. God is the only one who could see the future, with or without Trump. Whatever is in God’a Plan, that is what is going to happen . Nobody can stop God’a plan. God already knows who is going to win. Man doesn’t know. They can only guess. All we have to do, is pray that God will deliver us from the EVIL one. That is what we are told to do, according to the Holy Scripture. Prayers, prayers, prayers.Thank you
Praying Medic, months ago when you first asked fb friends to share Donald Trump dreams, I found that curious. At the time, I was in favor of a person I felt was a superior choice for president. A few weeks later, I had a definite Holy Ghost dream about Donald Trump. This isn’t the place to write it out, but that dream really got my attention and the Lord gave me a confirmation of it days later. If you hadn’t brought this up, I would have never paid attention or even considered such a thing. You are a trailblazer, Praying Medic, and as for the blaze part — you take a whole lot of heat for speaking out on the subjects that you do, but the Body of Christ is moving ahead faster and in more unity, I believe, due to your obedience (and daring, haha!)
And D’ Anne you are such a gifted encourager
God bless you, “Me” and open the eyes of your understanding. So sad to me to see the delusion of some, while the dream from Holy Spirit clearly indicates, not that Donald Trump is some sort of savior, but that God Himself will bless those with the spiritual sight and heart to know Truth in the midst of all the lies and manipulations. Donald Trump is a litmus test, if you will, a means of separating the goats from the sheep. I pray for you that your eyes be open before election day
Great dream. My spirit so resonates with the truths told here. It is not that Donald Trump is some sort of end-time ‘savior’, it is that God is using him as a measuring line; those who see the truth can only be those whose hearts are sincerely seeking the things of God, whether or not they know Him. It reminds me of the sifting that God did with Gideon’s army … it is very pleasant to realize that by standing even in the midst of all the lies, manipulations, and even seeming impossibilities that on the other side of this there is REFRESHMENT and even lavish reward … This dream came at a great time. It gives that extra shot to keep going, press in with not only vigor but Joy.
Bravo! Thank You, Holy Spirit.
This is so good…..when we hear lavish, we often think waste or excess….I think of the DT playing cards I had with the race cars he owned, I think of the pageants, his fancy lifestyle….but this article opened my eyes that lavish means extravagant, we have an extravagant God who wants to pour out His blessings on us and if the choice of the right President will usher God’s lavish lifestyle and love upon the whole nation, then bring it on!!!
Me?
Have you ever considered writing a book? You are a gifted writer and obviously like to do it
Whoever wins – is the one reflecting the spiritual state of the nation. He or she is not to blame, but those who are truly responsible of the state of the nation, that is the “spiritually alive”. Democracy has little to do with it. If the spiritual covering over the nation is divided and fighting – enemy has free access to destroy and cause chaos. As I see it, the best way to affect the future of the nation is to bow down before the supreme judge, repent as Daniel did for the nation, and perhaps God would have mercy and grant us to be able to live quiet lives.
Father God…. You are amazing and I know You will make this all right in the end. Please help us hear You better. Remove the evil one and all that he does to bring confusion among Your people. Please protect those who Satan is out to destroy. Please protect the road that leads to You. As Christians we want to be with You and go with You. This election has gotten pretty ugly as the Church is dividing again and choosing sides. We have been sorted by issue after issue over the years. The Trump and Hillary topic will sort us again. As You do Your amazing work…. I know Satan has his own ideas. I pray Psalms 91 over the people. I also pray that You protect the Christian children from “the mom and dad fight” that is going on all over America in the Christian Culture as they battle out their beliefs about Trump and Hillary. It brings confusion, but I also know that You have a plan of good. America is on a road again that is VERY scary…. especially when the Christians fight Christians…. especially when the Christian Faith is being targeted by hate. Please help Jesus. I love America and all the good she has done. When America had evil in it in the past…You were faithful and led us out. We face problems again. Father God…lead us out again. Your truth will not be covered. You want life. You want Christians to be safe in America and around the world. You want people to be safe in America and around the world. You want us to prosper. You want us to love. You want people to know You, Your Father, The Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, Heaven, Your ways, and so much more. You want them to know truth, life, holiness, love, and so much more. Teach us Jesus. Protect us Jesus. Be with us Jesus. Lead us Jesus. Show us the way to life. Amen.
To people who think that God never chooses ungodly people to form history, they obviously haven’t read the bible. Nebuchadnezzar, Darius etc…- a whole raft of people Christians today would turn their noses up at.
Up to this time, we don’t know who is the Blessings to our country. We just have to ask God’s guidance and see. We don’t really see the future. We know for sure, Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming back. We will just rely on His Mighty guidance to do what He wants us to do, for His glory. Nobody is going to stay here forever. This is not our home. We will all be going back to Him in His time.
This is the first election in which I will not vote. I sought the Lord on voting while out of the country via absentee ballot. The Lord clearly spoke to me that I would not vote in this election. However, I know I can bask in the Lord’s lavish love and provision!
Just reread this and wow, what a powerful post! God wins! <3
