It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever had someone tell you something you wanted to do could not be done? They looked you right in your eyes and spoke against your dream(s). Because (s)he stopped believing at some point in his/her life, now (s)he is determined to kill everyone else’s dreams. Be very careful of the people who are dream-killers and dream-stealers (thank you Pastor Julius Harris for this word years ago). These are people who will kill your dreams because they do not want you to see them come to pass or they will attempt to steal your dreams hoping they will benefit from them. Have you ever openly shared with other people what the Lord told you in prayer, but you did not receive the response you were hoping for? To your dismay, they either laughed in your face, told you it could not be done, told you it was not God’s voice you heard, or they called you crazy.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. Child of God, be very careful not to allow people to discourage you along life’s journey. You have to endure enough heartache without having to spend time on people’s disbelief. Yes, there is a reason why God spoke the word into your spirit. Yes, there is a reason God spoke the word to you. Yes, God knew people would not believe the word He gave you, that’s why He shared it with you in secret. Yes, God believes it can come to pass through you. Yes, God knows your limitations. Yes, God knows you have times of doubt. No matter what people say and no matter what excuses you come up with, God wants to use you. My friend, Go For It! The Bible declares in 1 Corinthians 2:9 – But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
My brother, my sister, the fact people are doubting your dreams should be a signal to your spirit that what you are attempting to do is of God. Anytime you try to do the will of God, doubters and haters arise. You did not think it would be easy … did you? You were not expecting an easy ride … were you? It is when everything and everyone is against you that God shines the most. Why? I am glad you asked. If God performs the work without you experiencing any obstacles, you will not fully appreciate what He has done. However, if He performs the work after the obstacles, hurdles, doubters, haters, traps, warfare and whatever else comes, you have full appreciation and He receives automate glory! Beloved, Go For It! The Bible declares in Philippians 1:6 – Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
