The dreamer stood on a church stage preparing to speak when the entire building suddenly lost power. The moment the dreamer stepped forward and began speaking in obedience, the lights and electrical power instantly returned. The congregation erupted into spontaneous worship. Earlier in the dream, the dreamer worked through math problems, symbolizing divine understanding granted before stepping onto the platform.
This dream reveals that obedience triggers supernatural activation. The temporary power outage symbolizes spiritual resistance, while the restoration of power demonstrates that heaven backs the dreamer's actions once he steps forward. The stage represents calling, and the math imagery indicates God releasing heavenly understanding before the moment of obedience.
