Take the Limits Off

 Friday my mom and I drove through an area of town that I use to really like. The area has beautiful waterfront homes. I use to like the neighborhood so much that I would walk there admiring the houses and the stunning views of the water. Today is Sunday; I drove to a park in the neighborhood and purposed to walk the old route I use to walk.  I began to get a little intimidated and I thought within myself "what if I am no longer able to walk that route?" The walk is filled with hills and it takes over an hour to walk to the point I had picked to walk to and back to my car. I heard God tell me that I could do it and he impressed upon my heart that I was the one who had told myself that I was no longer in good enough shape to do it. I walked the route just like God said I could.The thought that I had limited myself in that way was eye opening. How often do we let others put limitations on us or worse put them on ourselves? I am a dreamer; spiritually and naturally. I told someone once about wanting a house in an area of town that I really liked that is one of the more expensive areas in the city. The person I told began to ask me questions that on the surface seemed practical but overtly sent the message that you won't be able to purchase a home there. I felt defeated; you see one of the things I use to do when things got a little too heavy was to hold on to something I could hope on. During the time that I am speaking of what I was holding on to was the idea that one day I would be able to purchase a home wherever I wanted to.  I told another person whose opinion I also held high, and that person's response was "You can have anything you want." Those words went straight to my spirit and brought strength; although in the natural it may not have seemed practical, those words were absolute truth. God is more than able to give us the desires of our heart. Another time I was talking to someone else about different desires I had and they said "you want to much; you want things that are unattainable" during that time my spirit and faith were strong and without hesitation I replied "God would not give me the desires I have without giving me a way to get them". I want to speak a combination of the words I spoke myself when I was strong and the words someone else spoke into my life when I was not,  along with  Phillipians 4:13 to you..."You can have anything you want; you can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens you; God would not give you desires without giving you a way to get them" and guess what it doesn't have to be practical. If we are in God's will and our desires are in his will, God is more than able to provide; and give us the strength to achieve what may seem impossible. It may very well be through practical means but if God decides he wants to bless you in an unconventional way he can and will. Be encouraged in the Lord today to take the limits off yourself and off of God.

Job 5:9
Who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number.

Luke 1:37
“For nothing will be impossible with God.

Love Is Enough

My oldest son and I were talking one day this week and he insinuated that his younger brother and sister were "bad". I told him they were angels and he respectfully disagreed. I told him one day they were gonna be like Monica on "Touched By an Angel" and reveal that they were angels sent by God. He laughed; I asked, "what if they did and started glowing; what would you say?" He said he would say that God has a good sense of humor l.o.l. (and he does).  I thought about how parents and grandparents view their children. It is not that they don't see their faults; its that there love overshadows or covers them. I thought on it even more and I wondered what it would be like if we saw each other as God sees us? What if we simply loved? Love is Enough. I love you with the love of Jesus Christ; till next time...

Let brotherly love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13: 1-2

Keys of Understanding

I have read various books on deliverance; I have prayed various deliverance prayers and fasted and yet in some areas I am still believing God for deliverance. I came across YouTube videos of Tiphani Montgomery featuring Kevin Ewing and a principle was taught that I had not heard before. There is a lot of great information in these videos but what got my attention was the information on dreams. Mr. Ewing stated that covenants could be renewed in dreams. That blew my mind! So after I have prayed, fasted and read these deliverance prayers, the spirit can walk right back into my life through a dream. There are numerous examples of God speaking to people through dreams in scripture one example is in 1 Kings 3: 5-9 it is about Solomon. Solomon walked in the statutes of the Lord and offered a thousand burnt offerings on the altar and after, God appeared to Solomon in a dream and asked "What shall I give thee?" as we all know Solomon asked for wisdom and it pleased the Lord and so he granted him wisdom. We can conclude it was more than just a dream.  A while ago I was recounting how I could dream about what I wanted to when I was a child and how what we dream about could potentially be manifested in the natural. When I heard this teaching things began to click into place. Mr. Ewing talked about having sex in dreams. How the spirit you had gotten rid of or a greater spirit that he brought along could disguise itself as someone in a dream and have intercourse with you which in turn would renew the covenant. We know that sex is an act of covenant. When Jesus saw the woman at the well he told her she had had five husbands, John 4:15-18. I had to go to God about this. I am going to be open because it may help someone. I said okay Lord, that was my vice; I may be able to resist in the natural but how can I resist in my dream state? The only thing I could think of that would work was the same thing that worked when I dreamed when I was a child...I would need to maintain a certain level of consciousness in my dreams. So my prayer was Lord help me to keep a certain level of consciousness in my dreams; we need to be aware that our dream life can affect our natural life IT IS NOT JUST A DREAM!  If you awake after having one of these dreams repent; denounce any evil covenant you may have entered into in the dream; decree that you are the bride of Christ and according to Numbers 30:8 Jesus can nullify the vow or covenant made and decree by the blood of Jesus the covenant is broken. This week I think I am going to be reexamining significant and reoccurring dreams that I have had. I love you with the love of Jesus Christ; be blessed.
