White dove spiritual meaning

Firstly, I am not messing around this is SUPER cool if you saw this. A specific white dove means peace (I am sure you know that and love) but more important it is a massive spriitual sign. You won't read this on other sites or anything because this is something my nanny told me when I was little. Seeing a white dove means your on the right track. It means that whatever you did last week is already paving the way for riches. It is not only good luck it is a spiritual crossroads sign that things are going to go so well for you.

I want to let you know that the holy spirit is the white dove. This is where the whole concept comes from. If you close your eyes right now and think of the white dove I bet you will see a blue picture with the white dove in the middle. That is the holy spirit image you need if you see the white dove in real life then this is a sign, a sign you are going to have wealth.

My nanny who was a famous medium use to say that once you see a dove you know love is on the way. Most of my spiritual work is through her teachings, and this is what I want to share with you. The other important thing I want to say to you is that we forget in this world that we are shown signs from the universe all the time, like they can’t text you so they just send you a sign. 

I have spoken about doves in general as spiritual meanings on other pages of this site, but I now need to focus on white doves in particular. Spiritually, this is not a separate meaning it is about love and they are very much connected to weddings and also ceremonies, because they represent love, seeing two doves flying together is a spiritual sign of great luck, happiness, contentment. In native American culture doves are normally sacred. 

Why is the biblical white dove so important to what you saw?

The Holy Spirit is represented by a white dove, this makes people nervous. And the Holy Spirit is not a story you read. You have that experience. But experience is also something that can not be controlled, labelled or explained away over a Sunday roast. That is why it matters more than many people admit. So my nanny called it the living fire, and she said God the Father is the source, Jesus is the bridge, and the Holy Spirit is the flame that flew across. Also note the time you see the white dove…sometimes that thing comes to you as a thought that shows up completely unrelated to the thing you've been battling for months. It sometimes feels like warmth through your chest as you pray or meditate or sit quietly - not physically but more real than anything you've ever felt physically all day. Sometimes it does feel like being seen. Completely, without performance. And that can make you weep before you understand why.

What is the symbol of the white dove you need to know if it flys down near you?

This is the Holy Spirit! That's what the white dove represents when it falls. Not a concept. It isn't a theological position. A felt presence. That is the real deal in the room. The book of Acts records that the Holy Spirit appeared as tongues of fire over the heads of the disciples during Pentecost… wind blew across the building. People who hid behind locked doors for fear ran outside and started speaking languages they had never learned. That is the Holy Spirit doing - making terrified, hiding people into something they could not have made themselves. It does not ask you for credentials. It doesn't wait for you until you're ready. It comes and it is ready.

This is crucial. That part gets missed. You do not need to become a spiritually advanced individual to experience the Holy Spirit. You don't have to live by yourself. No one measures you as a good person by any standard, including your own. 

The Holy Spirit appeared to fishermen and tax collectors and those who did wrongs they could not forgive. It goes through addicts and rages and people who have not prayed in twenty years - and people who do not even know they believe. And the criteria for the Holy Spirit are these: you are human and you're here. That's it. That's all the list.

My nanny worked through the Holy Spirit even though she never named it that way. She walked in a room and something changed - not literally - but something settled. Someone picked something up that was scattered. that's what happens when you have someone carrying that flame properly, you can find them not just bringing their own energy into a space. They bring a thing that does not belong to them at all. These are the same  as spiritual gifts, not special powers for special peoples. These are signs of the Holy Spirit working through the person who said yes. 

Prophecy. Healing. Discernment.

These aren't just anything now. They represent a flame looking for a wick. It never matters whether The white dove carries all of this. All that appears - in scripture, in ceremony, when it lands somewhere it has no rational basis to be - is the full weight of what the Holy Spirit is. Alive. Present. Moving. Love without condition, agenda, or limit.

And one last thing.. you don't need to understand it to get it. You simply have to stop pretending it is not there. I have never really explained the Holy Spirit really in any of my website articles. It lives so near everyone you can feel the heat.
