Exactly one year ago, I had a wonderful dream that allowed me to catch a glimpse of what the Lord was about to do in my life and my family. I say ‘was about’ because in this dream, my daughters were barely older than they were then and I wrote in my diary that what I had seen was probably going to happen within a year; and true to that, since June 2011, certain things have been happening to us which clearly show that the deco is being set to welcome what I had seen earlier.
I am telling you this because at the beginning of January, I remembered a specific part of this dream. I was seeking the Lord’s instructions about what He wanted me to do in 2012, when the way I was dressed in the dream suddenly impressed my mind. I was a bit confused because I thought this was something that would only happen after certain key things in the dream had taken place; but here was the Lord, telling me that wasn’t necessary.
The dream had revealed the will of God to me; a God who is not prisoner of time and who doesn’t see me as I am now, but already sees me in the position and status that were mine in the dream. As far as He is concerned, the dream is past history. Therefore, I had the choice; either to wait to ‘see before believing and living the life' (i.e., wait until some important details of the dream had been fulfilled before daring doing certain things), or to project myself into what I had seen and begin to live as if everything had already come to pass. The Lord went on explaining that this was a way for His will (shown in a dream) to be done (by me) on Earth as it was in Heaven. It was a way of aligning heaven and earth. There were many elements in the dream that were totally beyond my control (time, circumstances etc.); but there were others –like my clothing- that I could control. By doing that as soon as possible, in line with my vision, I was allowing God’s will that had been revealed to be fully done in my life.
I gave thanks to God and immediately set to work and acted upon what I had just learned. You know, we tend to think that God is only interested in the big picture; that if we ask: “Lord what do you have me do in 2012?” he’ll answer something like: “Buy a house”; “Start this business”; “Leave your job”; “grow in patience or giving”; “Get married” etc. But God is actually interested in EVERY aspect of our life and wants to be Lord of them ALL. Nothing about us is either too big or too small for Him.
It’s been years now, that I had taken the habit of inquiring with Him what He wanted me to wear and I’ve had interesting stories in this respect over the years; but this was the first time that God was linking a dream that might only be fully accomplished in the next 2-3 years or even more, with the way He already expected me to live now. In other words, the bulk of this dream is for much later, but part of it (which seemed to occur in the future) already covers the present. I repeat: God is timeless.
Understand all I’ve said and you’ll understand the power of vision and the importance of knowing who you are; these two are fundamental.
Thy will be done on earth and in my life as it is in heaven… Do you have prophetic dreams? If yes, what are the details depending on you? Identify them, act upon them, and leave the rest to God.
God bless you!
