Beware of Dream Stealers

Matthew 7:6

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

It is wisdom to be mindful of who you are sharing your dreams with.  People too often in an attempt to to get encouragement and support for the dreams they have in their hearts seek encouragement from the wrong people and as a result end up more discouraged than before and sometimes give up all together.

It is wise to pray for the spirit of discernment so that you know who is truly for you and who is against you.  If the person you are sharing with has not reached where you are going and can’t see that possibility for themselves they certainly won’t be able to see it for you.

AMOS 3:3

Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

When God places a dream in your heart it is wise to keep it incubated surrounded by BOLD faith and deep love until its time to give birth.  Very often the dream He gives you will not be understood or supported by some of your closest friends and family members. 

However, if you are married please know that God won’t give you a dream that will separate you and your spouse or cause discord between you. You will both be in one accord.  If not, it would be wise to go back and ask God if that is truly His plan for you or something from your own mind.

Jeremiah 29:11

I know the plans I have for you…

 Satan will deceive you to divide you.

Remember JOHN 10:10

The thief comes to steal, to kill and to destroy but I am come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

The dream God places in your heart will be profitable for you and your household.

However the dream may separate you from people and places that are familiar.  Abraham in following the Promise God gave him had to leave everything and everyone that was familiar.  At 75 that was a brave move. Abraham didn’t consult or over analyze.  He took his wife and they went in faith trusting God all the way.  

Too many people block their blessings by consulting with everyone but God.

When God places a dream in your heart He also has the blueprint for its manifestation. 

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BIRTH YOUR GOD GIVEN DREAM?

1.    Courage

2 Timothy 1:7

 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

The only way to build courage is to get to know your God.

Daniel 11:32

 …the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.

2.    Develop an Intimate Relationship with God

Job 22:21

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Proverbs 3:5-6

 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

3.    OBEDIENCE

Abraham left!

John 5:30

Jesus said…I seek not mine own will but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 2:1-10

Whatever He tells you to do, do it.

STOP WASTING TIME DOING YOUR OWN THING!  God has the answer.

4.    SPEAK IT INTO BEING

Proverbs 18:21

Death and life are in the power of the tongue…

David spoke boldly his dream to Goliath. Don’t let negative people have the final say on your dream!  Always be the one to have the last word of Victory!  Say it from the depth of your heart.  It doesn’t have to be screamed but it must be audible and DEEP!

In raising the dead, Jesus didn’t “think” Lazarus come forth, He spoke it out loud in front of everybody.  John 11;40-43

If there are things that “appear” dead in your life you will have to open your mouth boldly and speak them back to life regardless of how it looks and what people say.

"IT IS WELL!" MUST BE YOUR CONSTANT CONFESSION.

Read 2 Kings 4:20-26

Yours in Christ Jesus,
