Dream!

Being and not doing.

I used to be afraid to dream and even more afraid to verbalize the dreams of my heart. When you dream God’s dreams that He gave you to dream, then you are more determined to press your way through seasons of difficulty. You press not based on what seems easy or impossible, because you have learned by experience that God is the God of the impossible.

37 For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. LUKE 1:37, AMPC

So I challenge you today to seek God for His preferred will for your life and dream…dream BIG! Acknowledge God in all of your ways and let Him lead you down each pathway. This week God gave me an Ephesians 3:20 blessing. For the first time ever, one of my books made it to the number-one spot on Amazon’s best-seller list! I am now a best-selling author and I glorify God! This is one of my dreams but I never expected it to come to pass this quickly. Praise God!

You too can see the manifestation of dreams coming to pass in your life. I am rooting for you! Have a blessed weekend.

New!

What are you expecting in the new calendar year of 2023? To be honest, I do not have any specific words of prophecy for 2023 other than words uttered during a previous season but…today as I proceeded to clean my home, I noticed all types of old items that were stuck in corners, drawers, and other areas of my home. Items like homemade birthday cards from past dance mentees, compact disks, and other stuff. Some of these items were keepsakes and some were not. I wondered why I continued to hold on to these things. Suddenly the Spirit of God spoke to my heart and prompted me with this word…”If you let them go, I will give you something new. I cannot release the new things that I have on reserve for you until you are willing to let these things go.”

Whew! I had to pause for a praise break. Truth is…I was afraid to let go of some of the stuff for fear that I may need it in the future, but after God dealt with me, I was able to trash a lot of things.

Does any of this spark you to consider letting go of something in order to gain something better? Pray about it.
