RHEMA DREAM (7/ 20 / 2014) I was given a dream several nights ago, which seemed very unusual. What I recalled is that those in my circle of friends and relationships had lost their finical assets, security, and even their homes. And the living conditions were impoverished as many of the poor in third world countries. Yet, in spite of the environment, we still had a sense of peace and hope. Having a close relationship with our God, who was taking care of our needs, and we were in a close relationship with each other and taking care of one another. Living in poor and less than desirable conditions didn’t matter, because we were experiencing the true love of God in our lives. We were surviving, loving and blessing those around us. As we were doing this, our craving for things, possessions, luxuries, and a higher standards of living, and status was fading away. Through this experience our desires and cravings were being transformed into a closer, intimate love relationship with our God, and toward blessing others, which are lost, unable to see the light of hope. Love is expressed in the action of blessing others, which also brings blessings back to us. Through this dream I felt a secure, even in lacking I knew that God was taking care of us. I was finding love, joy, and peace in helping and blessing others. I loved those people who were of the same mindset of desiring, and carrying out Gods purpose and calling for their lives. My mindset was being transformed toward understanding what true love is; which is in giving up our lives first to God, and then others. This is to become Christ like, in His image. In America, we are conditioned to be self sufficient, with confidence that we are able accomplish whatever we set our mind to do. We are the master, and caption of our own ship and nothing shall stop us. By nature, this is the world’s perspective, which is based in pride and self-centered accomplishment, believing that we are in control of our own future. In the dream I was seeing that some people were being humbled in order to become great in Gods kingdom. Others will be broken, consumed with fear and depression, and others destroyed. All humanity must choose to commit to God, or face the coming consequences, weather by choice or default to the powers of darkness. These choices will determine your place and position for eternity. Calamity and hardship is coming, all will have to face the consequences of their choices and action. Remember that if you are Gods children, we are under His kingdom, power and authority, and no powers of darkness can overtake you unless God allows it. And even if you are to lose your life in the world, it will not be the end of you, because you are an eternal creation to spend eternity with your God in the heavenly realm forever. So be content in whatever place or situation God places you into, and know that is God’s plan for you to achieve greatness in His kingdom and for His purpose. What may seem bad now could be preparation for even greater things, which are yet to come.
