I have been thinking alot about God’s promises lately. I wondered if anyone else ever has to remind themselves daily of their promises from God? It just seems that sometimes promises take forever to come to pass, doesn’t it? Or sometimes we can just become so discouraged waiting.
Recently God gave a very specific prophetic word to Dw. It came in the form of a dream. It was two days before he left for Africa and as soon as he woke up he told me about it because he has not had many prophetic dreams (nor have I). It was very detailed and very interesting but we had no clue what it meant. One day, I will post about it specifically. But for now, we will have to wait on that.
Anyway, days passed and all of a sudden it was very clear what God was trying to tell us. OH MY GRACIOUS!!! We were so excited – we could hardly stand it. BUT for now we are in the waiting period to the fulfillment of that prophetic dream.
We both feel burdened as we wait, because there is so much at stake with that dream. Anyway, tonight Dw called me as he was headed into his office. He said that he had been praying as he drove and out of nowhere the Lord told him that he and I need to just praise Him for the fulfillment of that dream, even though it is not about to be fulfilled immediately. Hmmmm. Okay! I told Dw that I love when he hears from the Lord like that and that I am putting on my garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. I am rejoicing and praising Him and thanking Him even though I can’t see the results yet. Yipppee Jesus – the dream will be fulfilled and then all the world will be able to hear the story of God’s miraculous word and how He moved to bring that dream to pass. I am literally giddy at the thought of posting about it one day.
So I wonder, do you have a dream or word from God that you can’t see the fulfillment of yet? Go back to that word, that dream or that scripture and remind Him that He is a good God and will bring it to pass. Then join together with us in thanking Him for what He is going to do for you, for us…
The songs that I have at the bottom of this blog include, at the top of the list, the Days of Elijah…that’s where I love to start – because “there is NO God like Jehovah” and many times a day I double click on that song….and that’s just what I’m going to do right now – BECAUSE “there is NO God like Jehovah….” – the PERFECT promise keeper!!!
