Time to Make a Change

I was challenged to ask God to speak through dreams and as always God answered!
Had a dream that I was in a hospital room, I was the patient, and I was apparently trying to avoid the procedure that had to take place... it was necessary, but I had no desire to go through it... So in my attmept to be slick (which is so not like me) I pretended to be someone I wasn't... The name chosen was, however, marked for death!
Be careful that you aren't saying to God that you wish you could have things made like so-and-so, wishing you had riches like the world, or the cares of the world not to worry about... we don't know how others are living... and our relationship with Christ truly is enough, it's our unbelief... that faith to trust God that He is our Jehovah Jireh, our provider... no one can take credit for how God is moving mountains on our behalf, He truly wants to show out on our behalf, but we grow weary, or simply don't trust Him at His WORD. NEWS SCOOP: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE!!!! His Word tells us He WILL provide... that's that!
So God tells me, you shall live and not die (Psalm 118:17)!
So I find comfort in the truth of who I am, and whose I am... and I hear audibly until it woke me out of my sleep, "now GO and declare the works of the Lord!"
Many of us know that there is more that we should be doing, know that there is a calling, but nearly to the point of wanting to hide and pretend to not be called, we would rather take on another person... condemning us to death! True life begins when we develop relationship with Christ... there is much Kingdom work to be down, soldiers don't retreat, it is time to stand your ground, move boldly, and declare the WORKS OF THE LORD! Don't be deceived or discouraged by the things that the enemy may try and show you, if you keep your focus on God, you too can literally WALK ON WATER!
Are you ready? You tired of pretending? GO AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD! It's not for the reward... but sidenote, rewards do follow!
Be encouraged, your best is yet to come!

I know this song is old school... but heard it on the radio the other day and it lifted my spirit and moved me to push thru! I pray it bless you as well!

It's according to your measure of Faith!

James 4:2 (KJV)
2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Had a convo with my sister today and she said something she normally doesn't... she spoke something so simple it could have been overlooked, concerning something she has been believing God for, "I am expecting it to happen!!!"
Praise God, this is the key. We have not because we ask not... but even more than that, one step further... we have not because we are good to contradict ourselves... we tell God about our needs, go to prayer about our concerns... then we complain about the very things we "left at the Master's feet"... we stood in agreement with our brother's and sister's, and then speak negatively about the very same thing... we asked God to take it from us, and then in the next breath, made it our own again, saying we don't know how to handle it, it's out of control, how we will handle it next.
How often do we truly say "God take this thing from me , I give it to you," and follow up with, I am expecting this because this is easy for You! And leave it... that's it, no take backs... but leave it!!! This is where our victory lies... here is where the true change comes!!!
I challenge anyone who has had any issues, big or small, take it to your Heavenly Father and KNOW (EXPECT) that the resolution will be manifested! Then praise Him for doing it (yep, radical I know.. but even before you see it, as an act of true faith... thank Him)!!!
Post your praise reports and give the enemy no ground! Stay in the habit of praise and watch God show out!
Be encouraged, your best is yet to come!
