Do you have dreams that are still out there?
During worship at Wednesday night service at In His Presence Church, Woodland Hills, CA, God showed me this vision:
Jesus took my hand and led me into an open pasture that was totally green whichever way I looked. The wind was blowing lightly. He said, "Look at the horizon and point to that thing that you have desired and hoped for." So I pointed my finger and then He said, "Now touch it." I touched it. And then He said, "Now take it and bring it into now, where you can see it clearly. From this point on you must see it as now. Not something far away that you hope will manifest. Take hold of it by faith and begin to speak to it as if it is alive and here now."
The Bible says, the Lord is my shepherd , I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters; He restores my soul; He leads me in the path of righteousness for His Name's sake, Psalm 23: 1-3. Many times, we get caught up in what we are doing and really forget about what God has for our lives. We try to make it happen in our own understanding. We try to make everything right for us ourselves and don't even consider God.
Do you know that in the green pastures that the Lord leads you in are where your fruits of the Spirit bloom and are watered by the Holy Spirit by the Word of God? What gifts do you have that have not yet manifested? David wasn't just singing, he was prophesying what God does in our lives when surrender to Him. And we all need to surrender regularly by praying in the Spirit, reading the Bible and worshiping Him in Spirit and in Truth. Some of these you can do at home, but you need a good Church that you attend regularly where God's presence lives.
In the vision, Jesus was speaking in faith and I could hear Him because I was in the Spirit of worship and I was singing in Church in the corporate anointing where the Spirit of God is free to move and speak as He pleases and whomever has ears to hear, He is speaking whatever Jesus said. The Bible says to write the vision down and make it plain on tablets so that he may run who reads it, Habakkuk 2:2 When you write your vision down, the person who reads it gets the understanding and agrees with it because they see it clearly.
Many of our dreams are inspired by God who gave them to us in the first place. But our soul needs to be restored so that we can focus on Him, the author and finisher of our faith. If we leave them in the dream only arena, they will never manifest in the now. Have you written your dream? Write it down so that you may bring it from out there into now. God's purpose and plan for your life is already yes and amen. Begin acting upon it.
In Jesus Name.
