Word of the Day
Beloved, dreams are often birthed in the darkest of hours or times of intimacy often unseen by others. Therefore, be encouraged this day. Put your ears to My heart and listen to what my Spirit is saying. Do not give up when pressure exerts itself against you. Do not give in to the tactics, lies and deceitful persuasions of the enemy. Be of good courage and dream with an understanding that I am with you to fulfill the visions of your heart.
Joseph had dreams and his brothers ridiculed him, scorned him and eventually harmed him. None of their effort or the efforts of others throughout his journey could stop what I put in motion.
How many dreams do you think David had while tending his sheep? I will let you in on a little secret. He had more dreams than you can count and they all were birthed out of his worship and intimacy with Me. He didn’t wait till he became a king to dream. Dreaming gave way to being a king. He allowed destiny and purpose to unfold a bear and a lion until finally Goliath fell (1 Samuel 17:34-37).
You are no different than David. Remember all the times I have been faithful…remember your own lions and bears that have fallen along the way. Do this, build your faith and the Goliaths in your life will not have power over you…the flesh will not have power over you. Let your dreams be a light shining on the path ahead as beacons of hope and promise. Selah.
The Lord on high is mightier and more glorious than the noise of many waters, yes, than the mighty breakers and waves of the sea (Psalms 93:4 Amplified)
And afterward I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28 Amplified)
Prayer
Father, I adore You and You are worthy to be praised. You are mighty indeed and You alone are Glorious. I thank You for giving me dreams birthed from the throne of God into my heart. As I listen to Your heart and hear what the Spirit is saying I praise You and long for Your will to be done in my life. I will not give up or give in to the tactics of the enemy with reference to Your plans for my life.
Father, I will be of good courage and dream the dreams You have for me. I receive the understanding that I am with You as You are with me to fulfill the visions You place in my heart. I am thankful no one or nothing can stop what You put into motion when it comes to fulfilling my dreams and destiny. I worship You and praise You for the intimacy we have together.
It is in an atmosphere of worshiping you where I receive all the dreams and visions You have for me to receive. I desire only the destiny and purpose You have created me to walk in. Let it unfold and be manifested in my life now and for all eternity. Amen
Reflect and Journal
1. Is there a dream or vision that has been conceived in your heart that may seem impossible to fulfill? Write the vision.
2. Are there pressures you are struggling with that make you to want to give up your dreams? What are they?
3. Write of a time that seemed the darkest when a dream was birthed in your heart? How did you respond…out of faith or unbelief? What are you doing with said dream now?
4. Remembering all the times God has been faithful. Make a list of your victories, your personal lions, bears and Goliaths you have already conquered with God’s help. Then spend time praising God for your victories.
