Visions and God's will, His plan, for us. This is my contemplation today. God gives us glimpses, and sometimes very detailed insights into what He has planned for us, and then He goes about accomplishing His will through us. The question becomes this... are we totally on board with His plan for us; are we excited about the vision (where He is taking us), or are we reluctant passengers, ready to disembark before the final destination has been reached? Are the goals we have for our lives consistent with His?

Do you dream and awaken in surprise to find that what you thought was real, was only a dream? Have you ever had a heart to heart conversations with the Lord, or received a Word from Him, that was incredibly wonderful, and so vividly real that you just knew it had to be prophetic, or biblical? Most of the time our dreams are transient, and fade from our memory once we are fully awake, but occasionally, especially if we tell someone what we have dreamed, they become lasting memories. When the Lord actually speaks to us in our dreams, they bridge the ether between the physical and spiritual world so completely that we wake up with the tastes and smells of heaven still fresh in our senses. Dreams are not of the past, and yes, we still dream divine dreams today…

We believe, and have faith, but so often we are afraid to know the unfolding will of God. We fear prophesy, and signs, because, although we might outwardly want the world to change, quite often we find that inwardly we are satisfied with our lives as they are. Thus we fear the revelation of events that prophesy speaks to, or the changes that signs tell us are coming. We see the signs of autumn as the days begin to grow shorter, and the leaves start falling from the trees, but we dread the cold winter that follows. Signs can show us the way, but they always point to change… a new place, a new experience, a transformed life, but always the passing of something old. Change means that we will experience, or know, something new, but it also means we will leave something behind… a love, something comfortable, or some other thing we have grown accustomed to. Are we ready to ask God for prophesy, and signs today? Are we ready for change in our lives?
