We need to reawaken the dream that God has laid in our hearts. A God dream dies when we are not spending time in His presence. I reawaken my God dream by getting back into the posture of prayer.
We cannot let a God dream go dormant on the inside. We need to keep it alive by reminding ourselves about the things God has for us. He always fulfills His promises.
We need to go deeper with God in this season. We need to move from ankle-deep waters to full-body immersion in the things of God.
Some of you only have a baby toe in the water; you need to put both feet in and decide to want more of what God has for you. You need to get into the river. Fresh living waters begin to flow when we pray in the spirit.
We have to pray like never before.
What promise is buried in your heart that you need to bring back to life again?
We need to be ready for fresh encounters in this season. Fresh moments of pure grace. Where God’s presence fills the room and then everything changes.
A God encounter is what we need to pray for in this season.
A fresh God encounter reignites the vision.
Change needs to happen on the inside, before we see it manifest on the outside. How we spend our time matters. When we spend time in the presence of Jesus, He speaks to us, He shows us what to do. We discern the ways of God by spending time with Him. Reading the word is how God speaks to me.
You only truly get to know someone when you spend time with them. The more time we spend with Jesus, the more we get to know His ways. Time in God’s presence changes everything. In Jeremiah 29:13 NIV it says, “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart”.
We need to make room for God to move and that requires us to be disciplined in how we spend our time.
Are we spending more time watching television than in God’s presence? Are we spending more time watching reels on social media than reading the word? Are we having a moment of STILLNESS to listen to the small still voice of the Holy Spirit? Some of us are crying out for more, but what does your level of consecration look like?
What does your level of commitment to prayer look like? What does your level of obedience and sacrifice look like?
God meets us at the level of our COMMITMENT to Him.
We have to commit. We either have one foot in or both feet in. We can’t do this Christian walk by the way. We are Christians on a Sunday, but during the week we have no real relationship with God. Let’s get our priorities in alignment. Let’s check our heart motives.
The real question you need to ask yourself is –
HOW DO I NEED TO RESTRUCTURE MY TIME SO THAT I CAN SPEND MORE TIME IN GOD’S PRESENCE?
Today, take a moment of self –reflection and determine where you are with God. It is time to take your walk with Jesus to the next level. The higher you want to go in your walk with Jesus, the more you need to sacrifice.
TIME STEALERS ARE THE ENEMIES TACTICS TO GET YOU OUT OF GOD’S PRESENCE.
Let’s recognize that we have to get back into God’s presence and spend time in prayer again. Nothing can change when we are holding back from doing what God requires us to do.
One encounter changes everything. One moment in the presence of God shifts our perspective. We should never take for granted the small things the Holy Spirit shares with us. We cherish every word. We submit to God’s will for our lives. We surrender completely and allow Jesus to have His way.
A God-sized vision in your heart requires spending TIME in the things of God.
We have to get our priorities in alignment with the assignment God has given us.
You cannot expect to walk in the spirit without prayer. You cannot expect to go the next level without getting into the presence of God.
If you are not willing to put in the TIME then you are going to stay the same and nothing will change.
Most of us today need to make RECOMMITMENTS to God. We are too caught up with things of the flesh.
Maybe your dream is to be a mother, a wife, a husband, a school teacher, a Pastor, an Evangelist, a professional athlete. Whatever it is- YOU NEED TO REVIVE THE GOD DREAM ON THE INSIDE.
Our dreams should not be dormant. We need to reawaken the GOD SIZE DREAM AGAIN.
Any vision that God puts in our heart must be kept in remembrance. Some of you need to go back to the start and ask yourself-
What did God tell me that I need to rekindle in my heart?
The reverential fear of God motivates us to get into His presence. To spend time with Him. We have to recognize that we are nothing without Jesus. COMPLETELY SURRENDERED TO HIM.
Let’s pray this prayer today Psalm 25:4-5
“Make me to know your ways O Lord, teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my Salvation, for you I wait all day long”.
If you have not made Jesus your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to pray this prayer today:
“Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. I receive your forgiveness. I ask you to be my Lord and Savior. I declare I am washed by the blood of Jesus, and I am now born again. I am a child of God. In Jesus name Amen”.
