Welcome Back! I am your host Dawn Simmons, and in this episode of Conquering Our Unseen Enemies we are going to be doing a 2-part series on how God is speaking to us through Dreams and the second part will be Basic Dream Interpretation.  Dreams are an important and exciting way God communicates with us and by examining dreams we can learn important principles of who God is and what He wants to say to us, for us and our purpose in Him.
