Dream Again
Good morning everybody! I hope you will join us every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday nights at 6 pm CST for Facebook live on Jimmie Bratcher page. Talking about “Don’t Take Your Dreams to the Grave.” sometimes some music and special guests.
Let’s talk about our dreams. Maybe today you say, “I don’t have any dreams,” or maybe you say, “The dreams I had have come to pass.” Well, I would say to you, “Are you still breathing? Then: DREAM AGAIN.” As long as you are breathing, God has a dream for you.
Dreams are an important part of our future and the future of others. We can and should be interested in the dreams of others but not at the expense of us not fulfilling the dreams God has placed in our hearts to fulfill. There may be a season where you feel your dreams are on hold or on the shelf so to speak.
One sure way to know if your dreams are from the Lord is they always involve the family and that always brings good things such as salvation, health, provision, protection, and healing to others.
Let’s think about the life of Joseph (in Genesis chapters 37-47). He had a couple of dreams that he shared with his family, they were not thrilled, his brothers hated him and sold him into slavery. (It’s not always the right time to share your dreams.) Joseph’s life had many ups and downs. He had good seasons in his life and bad seasons as well. Yes, bad things like these happen in this world at the work of human hands, but Joseph’s dreams came true when he became interested in the dreams of others. God never brings harm, hate, destruction or calamity to people. He wants us to experience His love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, health, healing, deliverance and the list goes on… Only good things. He is a good, good Father.
The Bible teaches us that we will experience God based on how we perceive Him.
Our Friend Dr. James P Richards says, “WE TEND TO UNDERSTAND GOD IN A WAY THAT JUSTIFIES OUR INTENTIONS.” And that this is true concerning the world at large: we are never fully experiencing anyone as they really are as much as how we perceive them.
So my question is, how do you see God? Is He a judge, ruler, waiting for you to mess up? Does He bring calamity, hardship, destruction or do you believe what the Bible declares Him to be?
Remember bad things happen because we live in a fallen world, but God is always planning a way through it. He is planning a way of escape.
When we establish that God is good and good only, then we can see things more clearly. We can have good eyes and believe in good things.
I hope this brings you encouragement today and I hope you’re dreaming.
GOD IS SO FOR YOU IT IS RIDICULOUS!
My precious granddaughter Mikaela Truxal helped me write this blog today and my heart is overjoyed. She is going to college to study Elementary Education. I’m so proud of her. She is a dream come true.
