Proverbs 9 Dream [June 3, 2026]

PROVERBS 9 [June 3, 2026]

As I awakened, I recall “Proverbs 9 --” going forth from my lips in a dream. I didn’t write the verse (v8) down but I clearly remember Chapter 9 being the focus. This is another revelation given, I believe, in response to personal issues I’ve been going through. As for my genuine brothers and sisters following after our Master and Messiah Yahshua, I present to you a heartfelt message of encouragement to those who are going through similar circumstances…

For my brethren who are truly striving to do what pleases YHWH, I encourage you to not give up. And when you devote your time to share your heartfelt testimony with others and you are ridiculed and rejected, whether in silence, behind closed doors, or in public, know that it comes with this journey.

Why?

Because true discipleship will cost you. Because you walk in the Spirit who leads your every step; His light is a lamp to your feet. Because your words are not your own but of the Spirit indwelling every true believer. Because your words cut like a knife and only those who are of the same fold will understand. This means FEW will accept the invitation.

Romans 9:6 “But the present condition of Isra’el does not mean that the Word of Elohim has failed. For not everyone from Isra’el is truly part of Isra’el.”

Beloved, not all who are of Israel are of “true” Israel. They disguise themselves very well and put on a façade but we will know them by their fruits! John 15:18 also reminds us that the world will hate you because you are not of it. You are anointed my brothers and sisters! 

Abba Father knows exactly what you’re going through, and so do I, because we share the same purpose – to proclaim the Good News to all who will hear – persevering and enduring the challenges this life brings. Father has a plan for each one of us, Beloved. His Word is FINAL and does not come back void.

📖 Proverbs 9:8 “If you reprove a scoffer, he will hate you; if you reprove a wise man, he will love you.”

Remember that those who are wise in their own eyes will not receive instruction. They are merely following the dictates of their own heart. But their pride will be their downfall.

📖 Proverbs 9:9 “Give instruction to a wise one, and he is wiser still; teach a righteous one, and he increases in learning.”

YHWH places good shepherds to feed His flock. Messiah Yahshua is our Shepherd. His true sheep hear His voice (John 10:27).

📖 Proverbs 9:17 “Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”

The phrase, “stolen waters are sweet” implies that engaging in forbidden actions are satisfying at first to many who lack understanding. It suggests that temptations and sinful pleasures may seem appealing to them and desire ear-tickling messages, but these ultimately lead to negative consequences rather than obtaining wisdom in choosing a righteous path.

Similarly, “bread eaten in secret is pleasant” indicates that secretive indulgences feel satisfying when succumbing to fleeting pleasures.

Many enter the web of deception. They listen to the simple woman calling out to them, “Turn in here!” But they do not realize that the dead are there (Pro. 9:18).

📖 Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of YHWH is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of holy ones is understanding.”

For those walking the narrow path, your days will be increased and years will be added to your life (Pro. 9:11).  Stay on course, receive wisdom, and eat the fruit of the vine, for it brings EVERLASTING LIFE 💙

Who is Wisdom

Who is Wisdom?

24 “For Wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.

25 For she is the breath of the power of Elohim, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.” 

Wisdom of Solomon 7:24-25

According to the Wisdom of Solomon and his proverbs, Who is Wisdom?

22 “Yahweh possessed me at the beginning of His way,

Before His deeds of old.

23 I was set up ages ago, at the first, Before the earth ever was.

24 When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no springs heavy with water.” 

Proverbs 8:22-24

Proverbs 8 is not speaking of a woman. In Hebrew, the word, "Wisdom" is of feminine gender, but we do find an inspired description of Wisdom personified as YHWH's characteristics.

30 “Then I was beside Him, as a master workman;

And I was a daily delight,

Rejoicing always before Him,

31 Rejoicing in the world, His earth,

My delight is in the sons of men.” 

Proverbs 8:30

In verse 30, the expression, “master workman” is used referring to Wisdom being with YHWH. As a master workman, Wisdom actively worked with the Father during the creation of all things. There is no mention of a second elohim or co-creator except that it is simply a poetic personification.

This falls into place with the "in the beginning" Genesis account when YHWH spoke forth His Words of Wisdom into existence.

Strong's 3056 LOGOS: devine utterance; speech; message. It is the Word [LOGOS] spoken by YHWH to denote His decrees or commands.

2 “My purpose is that their hearts joined together in love, may be encouraged. May they have all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, leading to a true knowledge of the mystery of Elohim – that is, Messiah, 

3 In Him, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.” Colossians 2:2-3

Messiah Yahshua is the embodiment of the Father’s Wisdom. 

22 ”And since Yehuḏim ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom,

23 yet we proclaim Messiah impaled, to the Yehuḏim a stumbling-block and to the Greeks foolishness,

24 but to those who are called – both Yehuḏim and Greeks – Messiah, the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim.” 

1 Corinthians 1:22-24

Messiah is considered the Wisdom of YHWH in Corinthians because of what He accomplishes through Him.

30 “And of Him you are in Messiah יהושע, who became for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and redemption,

31 that, as it has been written, “He who boasts, let him boast in יהוה.”    

1 Corinthians 1:30-31

41”The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 

42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.” Matthew 12:41-42

Yahshua is the power and the Wisdom of YHWH and His name is called, "The Word of YHWH" [Rev 19:13].

Deborah - A Great Leader of YHWH

In the book of Judges, Deborah is portrayed to be a woman of great courage and wisdom who ruled underneath the palms. She lived around 1150 BCE, about a century or so after the Hebrews entered Canaan.

Deborah was a judge, warrior, poet, and prophetess as well as singer and songwriter and was said to hear YHWH/God’s voice and share His Word with others. Her position as a prophetess meant she was involved in spiritual guidance, which included leading worship.

She settled disagreements but also under her military leadership, she was called to defend Israel against the forces of King Jabin of Canaan who ruled from Hazor. 

Fearless and obedient to YHWH, Deborah led the Israelites to victory and out of bondage. 

Victory Against All Odds:

Deborah’s confidence in YHWH’s plan encouraged Barak, Israel’s military commander, to lead the troops into battle.

Against all odds, and with YHWH’s intervention, the Israelite army, under Barak’s command and inspired by Deborah’s faith, achieved a miraculous victory over Sisera’s forces.

The Song of Deborah, a victory hymn found in Judges 5, celebrates this triumph and acknowledges YHWH’s hand in their victory.

Many biblical scholars believe that Deborah was a wife, as well.  However, in Hebrew, the same word is used for “woman” and “wife,” so it is unknown, with certainty, if Deborah was a “woman of Lappidoth” (a place) or the “wife of Lappidoth” (a person).

We can learn so much from Deborah’s achievements but there are three lessons we can all learn from:

1. Be Obedient 

If YHWH is telling you to do something or go somewhere, despite your fears, listen to His call.  He has plans that we cannot begin to understand, and hearts and lives may be changed by our obedience.

2. Be Courageous

The old saying "God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called"  applies here.  Doing something out of your comfort zone to glorify Him can be terrifying, but faith was never promised to be easy.  Be bold. Be courageous - for His glory.

3. Stand True

Never waiver in your faith. We may not always know what the road ahead will look like, but we only need to remember that YHWH will faithfully guide us and lead the way.

Women, unlike many of the things we have been taught, had places of leadership in Biblical times. 

Deborah's story in the Bible serves as an example of a woman who played a key leadership role during a crucial period in Israel's history and is remembered for her wisdom, prophetic insight, and courage in times of crisis.
