Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing: A Prophetic Warning

The wolf was super close to my face and body, sniffing and growling. I felt as if he was going to attack me any second.

Vanessa Inspirz4 Comments

About 3 a.m. on January 5, 2026, I was awakened from a startling dream about a masked figure. I knew right away that this was a message for the Body of Christ and a prophetic word for this season—for anyone with ears to hear.

The Dream

I was with a friend and her husband, and we were at an event. I had an app on my phone that rang when someone showed up at my home. I could hear them but not see them. It was similar to a Ring doorbell. But with this app, it seems I could see inside the home as well.

So someone called through this app, and I picked up the phone. It was a man’s voice. It seems like he was trying to convince me to come home, but he sounded a bit off, as if he was taunting me in some sort of way. He did let me know that he was interested in me.

I couldn’t see him physically, but through the app, I somehow knew the area where he was in my home. He was in a huge reception-like area that opened to my back balcony. It was covered but led right outside. And somehow I knew he was sitting on a couch in that area, which was a white sectional. The home was huge.

My friend’s husband—let’s call him David—asked if I wanted him to go check the man out before I talked to him (or agreed to anything he asked).

So we both went over to my home. We got to where the man was, but for some reason, he couldn’t see me. I sat on the opposite side of the sectional couch from where he was.

David, however, went right up to the man, and he was calling him out because we knew he had an ulterior motive. And then, somehow, David knew the man was wearing a fake mask over his real face, and all of a sudden, he pulled the mask down.

Initially, underneath the mask (he had on a mask that made him look totally human), it seemed like another man, but then a young striped tiger quickly fell from the man’s belly area as if he had had a C-section and birthed the tiger. As soon as the tiger fell out, it ran away, toward the front of the home. David, of course, very surprised, said “This thing …!” and also ran toward the front of the home. At that moment, I could clearly see that what we thought was a man was actually a gigantic white wolf, still sitting up in the same position on the couch.

During David’s encounter with ‘the man,’ the appearance of the tiger, and the man’s real identity being revealed, I had been in a bit of a shock, frozen in place, it seemed.

As I sat stunned, processing what was happening, the wolf ran after David. At that moment, I contemplated running outside, since it was close. But before I could make up my mind to move, the wolf was back. I knew he still couldn’t see me, but I quickly realized that he sensed my presence; conseqently, he instantly ran over to where I was.

I closed my eyes, sat really still, and said to myself, “Lord help me.” The wolf was super close to my face and body, sniffing and growling. I felt as if he was going to attack me any second. I was concerned that I could be mauled, but I was also surprisingly calm. I remained still and kept my eyes closed and trusted God to hear my prayer and save me.

After what seemed like forever in this position, I slowly awakened out of my dream.

The Interpretation

We are living in unsettling times, worldwide. What looks like one thing could actually be another, things that look ‘normal’ on the surface can turn out to be wildly abnormal, and bold positive promises may really be disguises for manipulation toward ulterior motives—just like the wolf in this dream.

I believe God is warning us that in this season, there will be “wolves in sheep’s clothing,” perhaps more so than normal, and that we should be watchful for the same.

This could play out in our personal lives, business transactions, politics, the media, etc. I recently took an AI Journalism course and found out that there are over 400 fake online news media sites that look and feel real. They are in effect like wolves, preying on curious, innocent people who click—and believe the half-truths, and the downright lies. 

“Her princes in her midst are like wolves tearing the prey, shedding blood, destroying lives to get dishonest gain.” —Ezekiel 22:27 ESV

YOU NEED DISCERNMENT

In 2026, the wolves will come, so how can you prepare? Pray for spiritual discernment. Pray to recognize the “princes in your midst.” Ezekiel 22:27 was referring to leaders within Israel, acting like wolves among their own people. Usually, the wolves are someone who can easily blend into your world, thus, their ability to fool many.

During this season, tune your spirit to God’s channel, so He can reveal who you are dealing with: an honest person who’s full of truth, with good intentions, or a “wolf” who masks their true identity by appearing to be something they’re not. You need to be able to ascertain whether the ‘white clothing’ they’re wearing, like the wolf in my dream, is an attempt to seem pure and innocent, although inwardly, they are full of darkness.

You’ve likely heard the phrase, “If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.” We are body, soul, and spirit, which can sense when “something is not right.”

You know that popular saying, “Something told me not to do that,” that you think about once something negative happened because you didn’t heed that inner voice? Well, I submit to you that that “something” is God’s Holy Spirit communicating with your spirit. Listen to Him. He will save you from challenges, pain, and heartache, and maybe even save your life.

Sometimes God uses others to steer you away from the wolf, as he used David in my dream.

If a friend or family member feels as if something is ‘off,’ be discerning and at least listen to them and see what God reveals.

I had no idea the ‘man’ was really a wolf wearing a mask. My antenna did alert me to the fact that something was amiss, but David was the one who initiated the investigation. Furthermore, he was brave enough to not only confront the wolf but also tear down his mask, thereby playing a major part in my rescue in the situation.

“BEWARE OF THE TIGER”

The tiger that sprung out of the wolf was orange with black stripes, like a Bengal tiger, considered one of the most dangerous tigers because of its size. When you research tigers in general, you will discover words such as “ferocious,” “aggressive,” and “cunning.”

The tiger had been inside the wolf. I believe all those adjectives mentioned above about tigers represented the wolf’s character.

Wolves in sheeps clothing can be rather destructive in our lives if they are not discerned and put in check. In my dream, the wolf could have literally killed me, had it not been for discernment and God’s protection.

Remember the tiger ran away as soon as it was released. Perhaps that represented God disarming the wolf of his ability to harm me. He still looked and sounded ferocious when he was in my face, but I had prayed, God heard, and the wolf was reduced to only noise.

YOU CAN BE HIDDEN

In my dream, although I had been sitting on the same couch as the wolf, watching things unfold, he never saw me. And later, when he was super close to my face, he didn’t even touch me. It was as if something had blinded him and also held him back from advancing further.

I was within biting range, yet remained untouched. I believe that represented the fact that God had hidden me from the wolf. 

“When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden  in the strength of God Most High. He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence.” —Psalm 91:1-2 TPT

Just like the wolf was able to get close to me but not harm me in my dream, in real life, God can protect you and hide you also.

PARTING THOUGHTS

Heads up: Wolves in sheep’s clothing are on the horizon.

Just make sure your discernment antenna is up, listening for guidance from God’s Holy Spirit, and that you are obedient.

 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” —Matthew 7:15 ESV

Selah.

BOUND

I prayed for the box that the enemy had placed him in … to be shattered.

Vanessa Inspirz2 Comments

As soon as I woke up on the morning of 6/23/23, I had a prophetic vision with two parts. 

THE VISION PART 1

I saw the face of a man. His face was dirty and his hair was disheveled. He appeared to have been been sweating and was shaking, uncontrollably, it seemed. He was totally enclosed inside a light-colored wooden box that looked like an extremely narrow coffin. All I saw was his face, and I could tell that the box was totally surrounding him, to the point that he could barely move. Even though it seemed as if he had been left to die in a remote landscape where no one could find him, apparently, he was still breathing. The coffin’s planks were maybe an eighth of an inch apart, so he could see outside of the box yet was trapped inside. His skin tone was light, and he had dark hair and features. Honestly, he was very handsome and looked as if he could easily be a model. 

THE VISION PART II

In the second part of the vision, I saw the same man’s face, but this time he was not in a box. His face was clean, and his hair was combed. He was standing upright, smiling and laughing. Furthermore, the man was no longer shaking, or fearful, or anything of the sort. The atmosphere around him was sunny and pleasant, and his countenance was cheerful.

REFLECTIONS

Immediately, I began praying for this man. I initially prayed as if he was a real person who was actually in grave danger. My friend Melinda pointed out to me that perhaps he didn’t have anyone in his family to pray for him and so God chose me to pray instead. Who knows? I prayed first for rescue, for divine favor to be discovered where he was hidden, for healing, and for freedom. 

My second thought was that this entire vision may be symbolic. The face could be real, but the visions may be symbolic, with spiritual meanings—messages from God. The Bible tells of many times when God delivered messages through dreams and visions; He still does this today.

I continued praying but this time from a spiritually symbolic point of view. I prayed for the box that the enemy had placed him in, indicative of affliction, grave trouble, or sickness—forcing his life to be at a standstill—to be shattered. I prayed that whatever was keeping him bound would be destroyed because it was keeping him practically paralyzed in his current position, which seemed dire. I earnestly asked the Lord to bless him such that he would break free, for the chains that obviously held him to be loosed. His enemies had planned his demise, but check this out:

You planned something bad for me, but God produced something good from it, in order to save the lives of many people, just as he’s doing today.

Genesis 50:20 CEB

Perhaps, in the second vision, God was assuring me that He had already freed this man. More likely, He was showing me that the smiling, clean face, along with the brightness of his new atmosphere, represented the situation the man could be in, the results that could be—depending on his or someone else’s prayers. God does not force Himself upon anyone. How would you like it if someone had to force the person you love to love you back? No, that’s not how the Creator of the universe rolls.

And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6 NLT

I read something recently that said we should either worry or pray, but not both. God’s instructions make this crystal clear:

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.

Philippians 4:6 NLT

Here’s the solution for anyone who feels as if they’ve been placed in a box—discouraged, stressed, bound:

PRAY

God’s word says if my people would humble themselves, and pray … then I will hear … forgive … restore … (II Chronicles 7:14).

MANY MAY RELATE

Whether the man in my vision is real or not, I believe there are many who can related to him and his situation.

Do you know anyone who may relate to this vision? Is it you?

  • Perhaps you feel as if everything is closing in on you, as if you were in a box.
  • Perhaps you feel entrapped, and you don’t see a way out. 
  • Perhaps you are nervous and uncertain about some things in your life. 
  • Perhaps you have been involved in something you are uncomfortable with, or that you know is wrong, and you don’t feel clean, spiritually.
  • Perhaps you look good on the outside, as if you have it all together, but on the inside you are distraught, maybe even depressed.
  • Perhaps you can see beyond your circumstances, but your feet feel mired in their current position.
  • Perhaps you are scared and ‘shaking’ and don’t know where to get help from or how to ask others, or God, for help.

GOOD NEWS

And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

I Peter 5:10

God is a restorer. He strengthens you to be a repairer of the breach (Isaiah 58:12). He is a way maker. He parts seas. He raises people from the dead. He heals incurable diseases. There is absolutely nothing and no situation that He cannot handle. 

I pray in this moment that all who find themselves bound would soon be described in the following manner:

  • No longer bound
  • Completely set free
  • With chains broken
  • Surrounded by the marvelous, miraculous light of Christ
  • Smiling, genuinely, more often than not
  • Falling into the arms of the Heavenly Father, over and over
  • Looking to Jesus as both Savior and Lord
  • Rejoicing that the Holy Spirit guides every part of your life

Selah.

CONTROL

Is my dream about Americans being controlled by foreign soldiers with guns prophetic?

Vanessa Inspirz2 Comments

In the beginning of 2015, I had an unforgettable dream that has appeared in my thoughts of late. Just as He did with Daniel in the Bible, God does reveal, warn, encourage and speak to us through dreams. About a year ago, I began blogging about my dreams. As a watchman, I knew they were symbolic messages from God that I felt compelled to share.

I feel now is the time to share this particular dream and its possible interpretations, corporately, personally and spiritually.

The Dream

I was in America—but not the America we know today. Our country had been taken over by another, and we were under their military rule. I. Do. Not. Know. Which. Country. But I distinctly remember the soldiers were Asian, without a doubt.

Appearance wise, most of the soldiers were tall and thin with jet black hair and the typical Asian skin color, but darker rather than lighter. All wore uniforms, which were the usual military camouflage green. And they all had huge guns strapped around their bodies.

Anyone who wanted to go anywhere outside their home had to get permission from one of these soldiers. They were everywhere, seemingly.

In the dream, a female friend of mine and I needed to go somewhere. We approached a soldier. After a brief conversation about where we were going, he granted us permission.

Our mode of transportation was totally different. Imagine one of those log rides at an amusement park, like a wooden canoe sliding down a water slide, with seating for two or four, one behind another. Well, our ‘vehicles’ were shaped like those logs, but instead of wood, then were made of iron, low to the ground with seating for two. When we got in, electronically, a dome closed in around us and locked us in. I believe the soldier pushed a button, and we took off. The vehicles traveled on tracks, much like trains do today. But they were exceedingly fast.

An Interpretation

Is my dream about Americans being controlled by foreign soldiers with guns prophetic? I hope not. I’d love to believe it is a symbolic message of how we ought to pray so that this DOES NOT happen.

Obviously, guns are about control. The military can certainly be about control—but also protection, and order, and rules, regulations, maybe war, maybe even death.

Let’s consider possible interpretations of this dream, corporately, personally and spiritually.

Corporately

I know America has one of the strongest and largest militaries on the planet. But we have arrived at the point in human history where control can happen in many ways; it is not limited to guns. Can anyone say Corona?

COVID-19, Corona, the Rona, (that makes me laugh every time) … at this moment has definitely taken control, not only of America, but practically every corner of the world. It has changed the way we operate as a society, the way we engage—or not—drastically. Freedoms have been taken away, in the name of safety.

So, based on this dream, if it is, indeed, a message to us, what is the question we should be asking as a nation?

Are other nations plotting to take control over the U.S.? Is there a group within the U.S. that’s plotting to take over? On the surface, I had to ask myself these questions after having this dream.

Related Aside:

I am reminded of yet another ‘threatening’ dream; I had this one quite recently, on the morning of Sunday, April 26. I dreamed that 100 Russian ships were discovered in the Atlantic Ocean about 400 miles from America. When you consider that there are ~3700 miles across the Atlantic Ocean, 400 miles off the American coast is relatively close. Naturally, everyone was concerned that an attack was imminent.

As God is my witness, I am not making this up. Is this a warning?

Personally

Is there anything that has already taken over your life, such that you feel compelled to bow to its will, even though you don’t want to?

Are you in a struggle over decisions and direction for your life or are pondering the meaning of life and your part in it?

If the answer is “yes” to any of those questions, there are answers, and you can open the door to liberty. But first you need the key, which I believe can be found along The Way:

“Jesus explained: I am The Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me … ”

—John 14:6 TPT

If anything, or anyone, is controlling you, and you know you need to be free, I dare you to get to know Jesus—more than you already do, wherever your knowledge of Him lies. It will be pivotal.

Spiritually

What should the Body of Christ ask as a result of this dream?

Is there something within humanity that has taken over us, such that we are not quite as effective as we should be? Are we winning souls for God’s Kingdom, or are we just ‘going to church’? Has complacency, fear or a lack of boldness taken control of our thoughts and actions?

Is my dream a warning that such can happen, that Christianity would be swallowed up in America by other beliefs and/or control over our lives—if we don’t rise up in the authority we have been given—to set the captives free, to comfort the broken hearted, and to “tell those who mourn that the time of the Lord’s favor has come” (Isaiah 61:2 NLT)?

Perhaps the ‘vehicles’ the Body of Christ has been using—to evangelize, to pray, to seek God—need an upgrade for swift, impactful change to occur in our lives, our nation and our world.

Despite the 2020 circumstance our global society finds itself in, here is a biblical tenet that I hope inspires you:

”For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

—Romans 8:38-39

A Ladder, a Sword and a Challenge

If I gave you a real sword, would you store it ‘safely’ away, or would you be curious enough to actually learn how to use it?

Vanessa Inspirz6 Comments

My Dream

Scene One – A Ladder

I was trying to get back to someplace but wasn’t certain which way to go. I became more and more concerned as time went on. I had to ask several people along the way. Seems as if sometimes I was driving and other times walking. At one point I had to climb a ladder to get to another level in a building.

Scene Two – A Sword

In scene two there was a little boy, African American, kinda chubby, maybe 10 years old. He had a class or some type of camp with other little boys to join. For some reason I was responsible for him, although I don’t believe he was my child. I took him to one of the class sessions, to which we arrived late. Consequently, the class had already started. I discovered that this particular class was a lesson on how to use swords. The kicker was that they were real! As we waited to enter the class, the instructor came out of the classroom and closed the door. Only the three of us were in the waiting room, and he gave the little boy his sword. It was still sheathed, thankfully, I thought. The boy began to walk around the room with it, saying random things, just sort of bouncing around and playing by himself, as kids do. He eventually settled in a particular corner on the opposite side of the room and stayed there, haphazardly handling the sword. I just watched him, still shocked that such young kids were given real swords to practice with. He didn’t realize that what he held was a potentially dangerous thing. I was quite concerned he may hurt himself or others and began to voice my concerns to the instructor.

Scene Three – A Challenge

Some other people and I were detectives or investigators — but with unusually high intellectual levels — and were tasked to find solutions to extremely difficult problems. We were presented with problem after problem, all seemingly impossible but somehow we would figure out the solution. It seems as if this part of the dream occurred over and over, quite a few times.

An Interpretation

To discover new levels of knowledge and understanding, we must first seek — research, learn, pray, ask, study. God’s word is no different. When reading it, we need to go deeper. If we come across a difficult passage, we should keep reading, investigate cross referenced scriptures and ask questions, with spiritual antennas at attention. We must search for the right ‘ladders’ upon which to climb. In this manner, we discern what God has to say to us, how we are to live and what we are to do.

Just like the little boy in my dream who didn’t realize the power in his hands, sometimes, we see God’s word — a sword to be used by His people — as something to place on a shelf, perhaps to ‘play’ with occasionally, but only briefly, not with passionate interest or pursuit.

Do you desire to be stagnant in your work life? In your personal life goals? I’m confident that most would answer, “No.” Your spiritual life should be no different. ” … By this time you ought to be teachers …” (Hebrews 5:12). In other words, if you have been a believer for a while, your spiritual knowledge and maturity should have grown such that you are able to teach. Just as a baby grows with time and no longer needs only milk but also solid food, your spiritual life should continually improve and be effective as you overcome challenges.

A Word

If I gave you a real sword, would you store it ‘safely’ away, or would you be curious enough to actually learn how to use it?

Once we get into a rhythm of spiritual growth, of ‘climbing’ upward and forward, we learn how to deal with certain circumstances and how to use the authority God gives us in His word. How are we to use this authority? By speaking the words He’s given us, declaring them over our lives. How did God create the world we live in? By speaking. Words really do matter.

In fact, when you speak God’s word, you are actually wielding a sword.

“God’s word is alive and working and is sharper than a double-edged sword. It cuts all the way into us, where the soul and the spirit are joined, to the center of our joints and bones. And it judges the thoughts and feelings in our hearts.”

Hebrews 4:12 (NCV)

We should master the art of the sword, the ongoing study of God’s word, so that we are fully equipped to know how and when to use it. With our sword in hand, we can thwart the enemy’s traps and free ourselves from the miry clay (Psalm 40:2). In short, we can receive healing for our souls and consequently affect major life change for ourselves, our families, and strangers, alike.

Like the investigators in Scene Three of my dream, we can find solutions to life’s most difficult challenges, for with God nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37 CJB). And if we are with Him, we have the supremely beneficial gift of His word, a sharp sword, glistening with power, ready for battle and poised for victory against all enemies. We just need to pick it up — and use it. Selah.

Listen: Even in Your Dreams … There’s Power in the Name

“… it is one of the ways God communicates with us. Likewise, the enemy can attempt to do the same …”

Vanessa Inspirz4 Comments

The Dream

I was in a room with a comfortable chair that had a large cushion. The cushion had buttons in various places, as some cushions do. All of a sudden, I didn’t see anyone but felt a presence, and at the same time saw impressions being made into the cushions, as if something invisible was punching it over and over.

Immediately I recognized it as an evil spirit and began to shout “Jesus!” However, there was no sound coming out of my mouth. I was screaming as hard as I could and tried several times, but it was as if something was holding back my vocal cords! It strained me but I didn’t give up. Finally, whatever the evil spirit was, it ceased its hold, and I woke up. 

The Revelation

The enemy tries to hold us back in many areas of our lives. He also does this in our dreams, spiritually, for in the spirit realm is where the enemy operates.

When we are asleep, our spirit is still awake. This is why we can receive dreams from God that contain messages or are symbolic of warnings or things to come; it is one of the ways God communicates with us. Likewise, the enemy can attempt to do the same, but his communication will only seek to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10).

Why does the enemy come to us in the spirit? In short:

“For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers of this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12).

In my dream, the thing the enemy tried to block in the spirit was sound, specifically the sound I was attempting to make with my voice. How did God make the world? He made it with sound from his voice. He created everything with his voice. He spoke. And there was. Period.

So, when the enemy tries to stop your voice from saying the name of Jesus or whatever it is you’re trying to say while you’re dreaming, he is trying to block something from happening in your life. Perhaps it is indicative of a warning that what you are going through right now is the enemy trying to crush God’s plans, even silence His voice in your life.

You have power

The enemy knows that your words are powerful, and he wants to eliminate that power as much as he can. As long as you have a voice, you can wield spiritual power that manifests natural blessings, goodness, favor, mercy, grace and destiny, in accordance with God’s word. And for my mute brothers and sisters, you can ‘speak’ in your mind; God will still hear you through your spirit.

If you are reading God’s word, listening to Him, praying to Him and trusting Him for the answers— delighting yourself in Him—He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).

Let’s look at that verse with an emphasis on “give you.” It’s not that He gives you what you desire on your own; it’s that He gives you what He wants you to have because He knows what’s perfectly best for you. 

And so, as we listen to God, He begins placing the desires we should have in our heart. Since He is the one who put them in our heart, they align with the promises in His word, according to His purpose for our lives. 

Out of the heart the mouth speaks, right? So, we begin speaking about our heart’s desires and about God’s promises, praying about them, declaring their manifestations in our lives. God has promised us in His word that we will declare a thing and it will be established for us (Job 22:28). That makes perfect sense because, again, words have power. The underlying understanding here, of course, is that those words have to line up with His will. 

It’s like this: When you are employed, your employer grants you certain benefits. The benefits are made known and are available for you to use. However, you have to actually do something to use them. For medical benefits, you have to find a doctor, go to the dentist, decide to try the chiropractor, etc. If you don’t take the initiative to make an appointment, and then actually show up, you won’t reap the rewards of the benefits, right? If you do nothing but read about the benefits, they’re still available—but you have to act to take advantage of them.

There are blessings available for us in the spirit, but sometimes, we have to use the power of our words to receive them. Such authority is given to us as children of God, adopted through belief in His son. I say “sometimes” simply because God can do whatever He wants to do, including giving us a blessing when we didn’t ask for nor declare it.

What’s the main point here?

Open your mouth. Despite the enemy’s attempts to silence you—in dreamland or ‘awake land’—speak God’s word. Speak His promises. Speak the powerful name of Jesus. Speak what the Holy Spirit tells you to speak. Out loud. With confidence. With declaration. And expect God‘s goodness to rain all over your parade.

To those of you who have never experienced such dreams before, I am not crazy. I have experienced these types of dreams more than once. And so have others I’ve personally known about or heard about. If the enemy ever comes after you in this way, just invoke the power and authority you have in speaking the name of Jesus. By this power you can be delivered from the enemy’s attempt to block what God has for you, whether spiritually, in your dreams, or naturally, in your life. God has already delivered us from the power of darkness (Col 1:13)—just stand up and declare it to activate this benefit: speak the name of Jesus.

By His name, we are strengthened (Acts 3:16), given the power to cast out demons and speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17), and gifted with eternal salvation:

“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Proverbs 18:10).
