Joshua Tree Dream Explained

5/9/26 

Almost 10 days after Gihon Springs ~ The Living Water Dream, posted on April 4^th, I had the following dream. It was an answer to prayer because I have been asking the Lord to dunk me in the water, that I might get into the river of Living Water. I believe this is the start of His answer.

On March 2, 2026, I received a scripture address in prayer: Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan… to the land which I am giving to them— Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. Joshua 1:2-3. A few days later a dream came.

I found myself in a swimming pool where I swam over to Bobby who was out of the pool near the side. I told him I had found someone to fix something in the pool and then I swam off to the middle of the pool.

Bobby then jumped in. We hugged while floating in the water holding each other together almost like a ball. Remember the Lord sees married people as one under the marriage covenant.

May HE rule from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth. Psalms 72:8.

As we serenely drifted, I saw Joshua trees on the sides of the river. I felt it was some undeveloped land in Israel. We were there before anyone else discovered and inhabited it.

I used to live in the Mojave Desert growing up so I was able to recognize the Joshua trees on either side of the river. In fact, the Mojave Desert is the high desert and it snows there. Recall 2/14/26 post, LET IT SNOW! ?

“The common name, Joshua tree, is derived from Christian iconography. The name "Joshua tree" is commonly said to have been given in the tree's role guiding colonists through the desert combined with its unique shape reminded them of a biblical story in which Joshua keeps his hands reached out for an extended period of time to enable the Israelites in their conquest of Canaan.

The Joshua tree serves as a powerful metaphor in the Bible, representing strength, resilience, and unwavering faith. We, like the Joshua tree, can stand tall and firm in our beliefs, even in the midst of life’s challenges.

In the Bible, Joshua, exemplifies these qualities through steadfast faith and determination on the journey to the Promised Land.

Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. Psalm 105:19.

Furthermore, the Joshua tree’s distinctive shape with its upward-reaching branches has been interpreted by some as a symbol of prayer and supplication. The Joshua tree’s longevity and ability to survive in challenging environments also speak to the idea of enduring faith and trust in God’s provision.” Joshua Tree Meaning In The Bible.

I heard this verse for the dream: He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalm 1:3.

“These unique trees have a limited range within the Mojave Desert of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.” Some scholars even think the Joshua tree inhabited the ancient land promised to Joshua but has been extinct for thousands of years in that area.

The tree has evergreen leaves; dark green, linear, bayonet-shaped, if it survives the rigors of the desert, it can live for about 500 years. The Joshua tree (Yucca Brevifolia) produces fruit that is an important part of its life cycle.”

Do you see how the scripture the Lord provided in Psalms 1:3 mirrors the characteristics of the Joshua tree not to mention the dream itself?

There is so much that I have learned from this dream, and I believe it will have implications for all those seeking to be immersed in the river of God.
