BEYOND DREAMS

Post date: May 16, 2012 8:00:17 AM

One of the beauties in living is having the ability to dream right and to see all of them fulfilled. The devil does often distort dreams to create confusion, fear, disaffection, panic, and bad feelings against one self and others, he does this with the intent of luring us into misfortune and misrepresentation, God also does speak and direct us through them. There is nothing as small or big dreams, all dreams are important and they are meant to fulfill a purpose when understood and pursued diligently with the fear of God. Though dreams are not the final plans of God for you, they are a pointer to what is to come. Dreams are just to get you started towards a higher goal that God intends. Why the devil manipulates dreams is because it is an importance means of communication between God and man. Remember, the devil does not go after that which is bad, be it an object or a man, he only turns that which is good and from God to bad and miserable. But irrespective of what the devil often does with dreams, I respect dreams and do follow them in the light of the word of God and I want you to follow them also.

When the devil steps into ones dreams, he causes what supposed to have been a sweet dream to an outright affliction. Where affliction reigns, there will be satanic captivity and all forms of hard and unproductive labor, restlessness, backwardness, constant sighing, bitterness, discouragement, low self-esteem, lack of self-motivation and lack of spiritual strength to overcome him. This is what the people of Israel experience when they were under captivity in Egypt.  

According to scriptures, just like Israel and Jerusalem of old, this is the picture of most of us today under different types of satanic afflictions: “Jerusalem, once so full of people, is now deserted. She who was once great among the nations now sits alone like a widow. Once the queen of all the earth, she is now a slave. She sobs through the night, tears stream down her cheeks. Among all her lovers, there is no one left to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her and become her enemies. Judah has been led away into captivity, oppressed with cruel slavery. She lives among foreign nations and has no place of rest. Her enemies have chased her down, and she has nowhere to turn.” Lamentation 1:1-3

The good news for today is not about your feelings or what the devil is doing against you; it is what God intend to do in you as He did for Israel. He will never leave you in that situation forever. Irrespective of what and where the devil had left or is afflicting you, God will remember you as He remembered Israel, He will deliver you as He delivered Israel, He will restore you as He restored Israel, and He will defend you as He defended Israel.

God did remembered and restored Israel beyond their dreams and beyond the expectations of her captors. “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them.” Psalms 126:1-3

What the devil had done is painful but what God will do will be glorious. When God starts, no one, not even all the powers from hell will stop Him and you. Do not discard those your dreams despite what the devil is doing; hold on to the dreams of your redemption, promotion, marriage, victory, good health, freedom and success. Hold on to the good dreams about your spouses, children and family. Hold them tight and believe the God that will never fails. God does not intend to take you to your dreams but to take you far beyond the very best of all them all. Your effort can only take you to your dreams, but God goes far beyond them all. That is what God will do for you.
