Prophetic Dream: Bigger & Better than It Looks by Teri Johnson
Scene 1
I dreamed I was @ a Chrysler Dealership trading my old car for a compact new RV.
Scene 2
I was standing in line @ a Fast strip buying a coke. I noticed someone trying to pass off counterfeit money. I told the clerk to charge my Valley Strong Checking Account, even though I was worried the balance was low.
Scene 3
I’m showing my husband my new RV. I notice there is no driver’s seat in front of the steering wheel. I try to make an adult size child’s safety seat attach securely but no matter how I try, it will not work.
I noticed there is a big refreshment bar in the back of the van. Many deluxe & comfortable seats with big windows to look out of. I discovered a hatch or doorway to a hidden lower level of the RV. It did have a driver’s seat.
There were several bedrooms and showers, I saw 1 King Master suite, 1 Queen & several guest rooms.
I saw against the wall a big, beautiful Sparklets’ Drinking Bottle filled with pure water
I tried sitting in the lower-level driver’s seat, but the upper level hung over the windshield and blocked my view. I tried pulling out of a small parking space & navigating through a country-club like setting, but it was too hard & scary, I did not want to have a collision and destroy property or hurt people.
Scene 4
I’m back on the upper level and suddenly I discover a driver’s seat that can be pulled up through the upper foundations floor.
I tell my husband I want to sign over the pink-slip, giving him ownership of the RV, I’m willing & ready to relax and enjoy the ride as I trust him to navigate & sit in the driver’s.
This RV was much more luxurious, larger and filled with much more than it appeared to on the outside

Christ has a new season of life filled with fun, adventure with plenty of room for family & friends
This life is lined up for a fast awakening to a life that is the real deal, not a counterfeit.
After being in a depleted strong valley, with a loss of true identity, the new is being sorted out from the old. Fear of lost is being replaced with what has been gained by Christ
It is Time to discard the old and keep the new
Sharing my new life with Jesus, I notice there is no place for me to be the driver, no matter how I try, the old way will not work in the new life
The old way has lost its vision
The new life will be refreshing and will quench the thirsty.
This ride will be first class, with big vision, where the beauty of the road will be seen, and comfort for the long run
A deeper level of this new life will be discovered as a foundation based on lots of rest and cleansing
The Lord has pure rivers of life and pure water that is easily accessible with intimacy with the King
Complete trust & surrender is to make Jesus the Navigator from above
It will be realized that this life is much bigger on than inside than what appears on the outside
Jesus sits on the foundation of my upper room and turning over life to Him it will bring joy, and peace.
There is lots of room in this new life for family and friends to enjoy the ride of life with you.
Bible Scriptures
Trading Old for New
Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; Before they spring forth, I tell you of them.” Isaiah 42:9
Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” Revelation 21:5
Compact
from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Ephesians 4:16
Sparklett’s Drinking Bottle & Refreshment Bar
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6
“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price”. Isaiah 55:1
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 4:14
Giving the RV to Jesus
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
RV is much bigger on the inside then it looks on the old side
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, Ephesians 3:20
Reason for the Dream
To exhort & encourage us to re-turn all of it over to Christ, completely letting go of the old thing. He has for us down the road is more than we could ever ask, think or even imagine, for the “suddenlies” of God, as He navigates us on His New Pathways of Life.
