Days 5,6,7 and 8

Am I spiritually healthy? I believe I am, but what does that really mean? I have to remember daily that in order to help others I must first put the oxygen mask on myself. If I was nearing the end of my days I would make time to daily commune with God, why not start now? Spiritual growth will come if we begin to make ourselves spiritually healthy. Commune with God and His word, confess our wrongdoings and seek God's will.

In seeking God's will can I still fulfill MY dreams? Would God give me dreams that I couldn't fulfill? NEVER! There are some guidelines for determining your God given dreams that I agree with.
To determine God's dream, or your idea
  1. God's dream will never go against His word, His will never contradicts His word.
  2. It will be so big in your life, you can't do it alone. It requires Faith. if you can accomplish it yourself, no faith is required.
  3. God places it deep in your heart. He doesn't give you a passion for one dream and then call you to fulfill a life plan that's completely unrelated.
But watch out, once you've analyzed and prayed and decided you've found your dream. you're officially a threat to the enemy. Satan knows the dream starts in your heart, he's committed to wounding your heart and taking it out of commission. Then if he can't keep us from pursuing God's dream for our lives, he changes tactics and tries to get us to doubt those very dreams God gave us.

God has given me a dream, a desire. I desire to see lost, hurting people come to know Christ in such a way that there is an undeniable, attractive difference in their every day life. People need to be filled with the Holy Spirit so fully it's spilling out everywhere. Not only for lost people but for the church in general. We've become lazy and complacent. I want to awaken a generation. Satan has tried to deter and change the vision but it has been reawakened. I don't know how yet but it will be accomplished!

If I only had 30 days, this tightness in my chest I feel when speaking/writing about this dream would be dispersed for I would be accomplishing it instead of burying it. There is an urgency in now. I should feed the homeless, engage my children to do the same, sing daily, lead others in acts of service and look after the poor, oppressed, alien, widows and orphans. Maybe I should just start, go for it.

Maybe you should too.
