Let Dreams Birthed In Darkness Bring Light To The Path Ahead
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
Tent Of The Lord’s Glory
For thirty-three years the Tabernacle of David, a mere tent, was filled with worship day and night…night and day as the reality of his dreams progressed (1 Chronicles 16:37, 23:5, 25:6-7; 2 Samuel 5:5; For more information read 2 Samuel 6 and 1 Chronicles 13-16)
His dream and desire for intimate worship drew many into the very depths of My heart and he did not stop there (Psalms 27:4). He dreamed of building a temple…a house for Me. And you know what?
His desire pleased me, but there was no house David could have ever built that could have ever been capable of being as beautiful as he was to Me. I feel the same way about you. You are a tent of My glory…a tent filled with My presence…a tent for all to come to in order to know who I am.
In the midst of his dying the dream of building a house for Me, all the dreams laid up in his heart, were passed on to Solomon (1Chronicles 28:10-12). Even in death, his dreams went on to be fulfilled. You see, David was My plan and so are you.
Joseph fed the multitudes according to a dream in the night. David fed the multitudes according to a dream in his heart. Both were dreams born of love. Regardless whether your dream is a dream born in the night or a dream of the heart, I care for them all and desire for all to be fulfilled. You are My dream…you are My tabernacle and I inhabit you.
Manifest Dreams And The Waymaker
Beloved, what do you think I cared most about when it came to Joseph and David? Was it Joseph or his dream? Was it David or his dream…his plan to build a temple? I cared about Joseph. I cared about David. They were My plan and so are you. To be a part of their lives and plans was a pleasure and joy to My heart. And nothing has changed.
You see, there is no temple, no plan, or beauty able to compare with the loveliness and sheer delight I experience by dwelling in you and fulfilling the dreams of your heart.
My breaker anointing, like the mighty crashing waves of the sea, went before both Joseph and David and now it goes before you to make a way where there is no way…to open doors which cannot be shut and close doors that cannot be opened (Revelation 3:8). I am your Way and I am your Way-maker (Isaiah 43:16).
What I say goes and what I establish stands. You can count on Me. Now let Me count on you to believe, dream and dare to do. I cause you, like many others before you and many to come after you, to dream of great and small feats…to have desire and longing of heart to accomplish much according to how I fashioned you in your mother’s womb. I am making a way for the manifest dreams of your heart for they are the desire of My heart.
The Potter, The Clay And The Dreamer
Yes, I am the potter and you are the clay. However, your vessel is made to be contained by Me and hold dreams and aspects of My person. These aspects will be made visible and manifest through the dreams of your heart. After all you originated in My heart, for all things begin and end in Me (Romans 11:36).
Cleanse your heart of all shameful ways of thinking and doing…put away all unclean thoughts…and do not call unclean what I call clean. Come into agreement with Me for you have been made righteous through My blood. You are my vessel of honor. You are my heart of dreams to be expressed in the earth.
Beloved, you could look at it this way. You are the manifest dream of My heart. How marvelous is that. Nothing can compare and I take pleasure in My dreams. I take pleasure in you. Now is the time for you to translate this pleasure of mine by birthing dreams into reality. I, who started a work in you, will complete it. Do not grow weary in believing such (Galatians 6:9; Hebrews 12:3).
Dare to dream and know neither David nor Solomon in all their times of victory or glory have anything on you. I am not partial to them or anyone else so do not exclude your worth or dreams by comparing them to that of another. I am waiting to co-labor with you to carry them out.
Dreams Manifest From Him, To Him And Through Him
Beloved, so many times you seek and seek to find out what I want you to do when all along it is already in your heart. Have you ever thought about Me wanting to do what is in your heart…thought about the promptings in your own spirit being something I just might like to participate in? Have you thought of your dreams as something originating with Me according to how I fashioned you in the first place?
Everything originates from Me. (Romans 11:36). Therefore if you have big or little dreams about ministering to youth, old people, children or any other segment of society take a chance. Many times those I love think in order to minister they have to somehow function in church setting or church leadership somehow. Simply not true.
This is such limited thinking to ascribe to one’s self. After all you are the very dwelling place of My Presence. You are My temple…My house. I once dwelt only in the Holy of Holies and now I dwell in you. In essence you are the Holy of Holies where I abide and live…where I live and dream. How I love to dream in you.
Dare to take your dreams to a practical level. Your own life now benefits from the creative manifest dreams born out of the hearts of men. You drive in someone’s dream. You can read because someone dreamed of changing the world by teaching you to read. Many inventions and concepts came from those who don’t even know Me. Imagine how much more is available to those who do know Me…imagine how much is available to you…right at your finger tips. Reach out and take it.

As my heart is being cleansed, I praise You, for I am Your workmanship. I am in agreement with You Lord and acknowledge I have been made righteous through Your blood to be a vessel of honor.
I long for You to freely express Your heart of dreams through me. Thank You for taking pleasure in me which I will in turn translate by birthing dreams into reality. I declare the work You started in me shall be completed and bring glory to Your name. Truly I will not grow weary in the process. I dare to stretch my tent pegs in order to dream bigger, for I am a co-laborer with You to carry out the Your mission on and in the earth.
Lord, I Praise You for truly the dreams and desires of my heart have come from You. I will acknowledge the fact that it is Your promptings in my spirit which move me and motivate me to dream and dream big. I declare that I am obedient to all You desire to do with me and through me. As I acknowledge You in all my ways, You direct my steps to accomplish that which has been planted within the deep recesses of my heart by You.
Thank you for your faithfulness to ignite the passions of my heart to fulfill Your will in the earth. All My dreams originating with You will come to pass as I get into agreement with Your Word to me. Take my dreams to a practical level as I surrender my imagination and reach out to take all You have for me. Help me to make all dreams given by You…inspired by You into a reality. Amen
