God is really making it clear to
me that I am a dreamer…I am to dream…and I am to fulfill that dream. The Holy Spirit will guide me throughout this
process but I must put forth an effort and listen to the inner voice of wisdom.
Proverbs 4: 6 Do not forsake
wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will
watch over you. This past Sunday,
February 12, 2012, was missionary Sunday and Saji John from India gave a
message that aroused and confirmed the dreamer within me. It truly seems as if God is telling me that
the time has come for me to soar with Him on wings like an eagle. It is time for me to get over myself and out of my comfort zone and walk in my purpose without hesitation. I have been performing dramas of biblical women ...I call that ministry
Living Interpretations! ...and I love this calling. I am also to continue focusing on advancing
Spiritual Spa so other churches can pamper women too. Of course in both ministries I am to share the Good News that Jesus saves!!
Isaiah 40: 28-31 “ Do
you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the
everlasting God, the Creator of the
ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He
gives strength to the weary and
increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young
men stumble and fall; but those
who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not
grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Psalm 103:1-5 Praise the
LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being,
praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my
soul, and forget not all his benefits-- who
forgives all your sins and heals all your
diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns
you with love and compassion, who satisfies
your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like
the eagle's.”
Below are my notes
from Saji John - I hope you are encouraged to be a DREAMER!
Gen 37:18-20 …”So Joseph went after his brothers and found them
near Dothan. 18 But they saw him in the distance, and before he
reached them, they plotted to kill him. 19 "Here comes that dreamer!" they said to
each other. 20"Come now, let's kill him and throw him into
one of these cisterns and say that a
ferocious animal devoured him. Then we'll see what
comes of his dreams."
o
To be a dreamer for God takes courage.
o
A visionary is a rebel and goes against the world and how they think we
are supposed to be.
o
Visionary has a purpose to
live for
o
We need a purpose to live and people are happy when they have a purpose of
a higher power.
o
People today don’t know why they are here or where they are going.
o
We have a Gospel which the world needs to know…we are to pass the Gospel
to others.
o
Dreamers will have to go against tradition.
o
Visionary – Dreamer – Will be
a transformed person
o
We are to be a transmitter of Jesus to others.
o
We are to be a vessel to carry out the message.
o
Be committed to the dream God has given to you (i.e. Paul, Joseph, Mary,
Elizabeth).
o
Visionary- Dreamer –Will see
things in the Spirit that may not be seen in the natural.
o
Stand in the purpose and dream so that when things come against you, you
will dream the dream.
o
Dream about the vision of your purpose.
o
People will make fun of you and persecute you.
o
God can use incapable people.
o
You don’t need “qualifications” but you must have a heart for God.
o
You must have a willing heart that is obedient.
o
Your church will help you spiritually to commit to your purpose.
o
Visionary will have
persecution
o
People who cannot dream do not want you to dream.
o
Pray God will give others dreams.
o
You will receive opposition from your Sunday School class, your family…
o
Anything worth living for is worth dying for…CHRIST IS WORTHY!!
o
Look at attacks not as being persecuted but as being used by God.
o
Visionary will not let death
come to the vision!
o
God know the acts you do for Him – others don’t.
o
Sometimes you don’t feel like finishing but keep going.
o
Be faithful to the dream God has given you.
o
BE PERSISTENT IN WALKING OUT YOUR DREAM!
o
Visionary will give great
gifts to those around them.
o
We are to be a blessing to those around us.
Don’t focus on your
inadequacies, admit your failures and keep going. God uses broken vessels
and rubber bands. He will stretch us
until we are ready for His purpose. We
must have a dream for Christ! God gives
us the dream and will equip us to fulfill it.
