YOU WILL SEE IT!
A dream or vision for your life is something you have to see. It cannot merely be a good idea; it has to be an epiphany or revelation. Not getting enough quality sleep is an issue for many. Being tired is a vision and a dream killer. Many want to do great things but are so tired, physically and emotionally that they struggle to even dream of what could be. One thing we know is that the most significant achievements of all time were first conceived in the mind via an image or picture and then were meditated upon until action birthed them into the physical world. A vision must be birthed inside of you – a new way of living must be conceived in your mind! Your eyes must be opened – You must see it. This was true for Michael Angelo, Abraham, and countless others.
Genesis 15:4-6 Then the word of the Lord came to him (Abraham): “This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir.” He took him outside and said, “Look up at the heavens and count the stars –if indeed you can count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.
God gave Abraham something he could meditate on every day, the stars. Every time Abraham looked at the stars, he would envision the generations of people who would follow him and be called by his name. So it is with you. God has a dream for your life. There are things that God has already instilled within you that need to come to the surface. Like Abraham, God wants to impact this world through you.
There are two types of dreaming, spiritual and physical. All dreaming is precious because it has the power to give you mental and physical energy. But please understand this, you can never dream until you sleep, and you can never sleep until you rest. Resting your mind through faith in God is the springboard for you to dream big. Some of the greatest inventions and business ideas of all time were conceived out on a lonely, leisurely walk. The words of Jesus as recorded in Matthew 11 are powerful.
Mat 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Trusting in and meditating upon the truth of God is the prerequisite to the fulfillment of God’s dream for your life! A dream from heaven does not only bring success; it brings significance! Life becomes very exciting and rewarding when you empower and bless others! God is longing to enable you to fulfill the
purpose for which you were created! Those who achieve their dreams, meditate on them over and over and over until they see it done. The power for action comes when a person sees it finished in their mind.
Please don’t forget this ever, so important point: Dreams come from sleep, and sleep comes from resting. God has declared you as righteous in his sight because of the blood of Jesus, but only believing it taps you into its power. You cannot and must not lean on your own righteousness! God is in love with you and you must believe it! This is where rest comes from! God is all-powerful and is ready to fulfill his mighty plan in and through you!
It is time for you to receive the dream God has for your life through resting in Him by faith! I am praying for you today and asking God for your heart and mind to be at rest in Him, so that your internal eyes will be opened and...
