Let’s allow ourselves to dream and recognize that God does not limit us. Yes, He directs us and empowers us to fulfill His will and each one of us has a destiny. BUT NEVER ALLOW the misguided, judgmental statements of people around you to restrict you from being all that you can be!

It is amazing to think that we are no longer pawns in the hands of fate. We are no longer driven by winds of circumstance, people whims, or popular propaganda. We are at the fate of our own words. Jesus has voted YES for us. While we were sinners, He laid down His life and took the penalty of sin in our place. The devil has voted against us, and WE are casting the deciding vote by the words that are continually coming out of our mouths!

What is the world looking for? The world wants some hope. The world wants some dignity. They say, ”Recognize me! Believe in me! I am important! I am valuable to somebody!” Well, I have good news for the world—God loves and values you and believes you are important—so important that He has an amazing plan for your life!

Romans 8:11 tells us that the power of the Holy Spirit that dwells in our own spirits as believers was sufficient to raise Christ from the dead! Meditate on that truth, and make the conscious decision to allow that power to move into every part of your physical body with the life of God that overcomes every sickness and disease!

Sense knowledge is not absolute truth, our senses are simply interpreters of what is happening in the natural. The Word of God has already issued judgment on the curse and everything that comes from it—sickness, lack, oppression, depression and the negativity that tries to steal our joy in life.  Our commitment must be to believe what God says instead of what our senses are telling us. Stop accepting those deliveries from the devil!

We may see the multitudes of people in the world in many ways. Some of those ways can make us want to condemn them, but Jesus always sees people as a beautiful, precious harvest, ready to be gathered. A harvest has several characteristics: it is valuable, it must be gathered or it will be lost, and it is URGENT. Time moves quickly and then the opportunity is gone.  “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4).

Matthew 7:11 says, “If you then being evil know how to give goods unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good gifts to them that ask Him?” Not only is God NOT using sickness, disease and lack as a tool to make us learn something, He clearly tells us that He has a great desire to answer our prayers and to meet our needs!

Two people can hear the same message and it can change the life of one forever while the other falls asleep. You only benefit from something to the degree you value it. The Bible says it differently: “Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them” (Luke 8:18).

The world is hungry to see a living Jesus who will confirm His Word with signs following, proving He is the same today as He was 2,000 years ago. The world sees enough of the devil, it’s time for God’s people to manifest! “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19).

Persist in your God-given dreams and desires, because resistance to your dreams is as normal as gravity is to our atmosphere. It holds everything down, but it doesn’t stop us from flying!
